Just found this site and it's my first question. Bit of a long story, but I think most of it is relevant considering the question. (If you are in a hurry, you can jump straight to the questions)  So. I'm an industrial design student, and it's my second year going at the moment. What has to be mentioned as well is that I'm not an average id student fresh from the high school, I'm 31 and I have studied business master's before, though didn't graduate from it because of some personal life stuff and the financial crisis happening at the same time.  After some difficulties in personal life and in the job market I decided I'd study industrial design, as it happens that during 2008 I was working in a long project in an industrial design agency, and I liked it hugely. However because of the financial crisis the project couldn't be continued anymore in 2009. What I was doing there was in essence ux design. Then, after the financial crisis I came to find out that in this new job market, with the business studies background it was impossible to get any kind of creative design jobs, at least in my own country, I then decided to go to study industrial design. Which was probably not the best choice, I guess I should have chosen Human-Computer Interaction. But this is a small country, and HCI isn't even taught but in two different places, I think.  Fast forward to this day. In this country it seems industrial/ product design agencies never really recovered from the financial crisis. Most of them don't do cutting edge tech projects but instead they have put their heads in sand like ostrichs. They do mostly very traditional industrial design, without any interaction or user experience design. Which is a really bad situation for me personally, because the reason I got into ID was that I want to work in creative usability and UX projects.  Anyhow, there is a lot happening in UX scene in this country. But it's happening in mid sized software companies, and in these new, specialized small UX agencies, which are coming from the HCI side of the business, if I have understood right.  So now the big questions for me are:   How do I get into this new UX design scene, with my background?  How do I get a job or an internship in one of these companies which don't really know too much about ID, and probably think that ID is nothing but pretty and very concrete products?   What kind of stuff should I do into my portfolio?  What kind of stuff should I emphasize in my CV and cover letter?  What kind of things should I study by myself?  Would studying HTML and CSS be the shortest way to UX design for me?  What I personally consider important in my skills and knowledge is that I have been interested in usability and UX already for years, and have read for example Don Norman's books, as well as some basic interaction design materials. And in my previous business studies I studied many courses of sociology as a minor.  Thanks if you had patience to read it until here, and thanks even more for any answers!
I am a UI designer and developer and have been designing websites for aound 10 years. I want to get into user experience design. I know how to do a design, but I am lagging the terminologies and the technical things in the user experience field.   So how do I go about getting the skills and mindset necessary for being a User Experience Designer?
how to make some border lines of a table thick and colored I honestly have no idea how to approach this question. I have done easier questions eg. show $gcd(a,b)lcm(a,b)=ab$ by letting $a=Alcm(a,b)$ and $b=Blcm(a,b)$ and then using the fact that $A$ and $B$ are coprime. However this approach only works in two variables. Any help with the question in the title would be greatly appreciated, as well as the thought process behind the answer so that I can approach similar problems.

I'm having trouble with the OpenLayers Plugin of Qgis and the map composer:  If I create an OSM-background layer and if I want to export this, the OSM-Layer looks perfectly all right in the normal qgis program window. But in the map composer and after export the layer has shifted relatively to my other shape layers (EPSG:32633 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 33N).  The second thing is that the output resolution of the exported osm-layer is very, very poor.   A really bad way of getting around this whole trouble would be to increase the screen resolution and make a screenshot of the map composition window of qgis. But I don't think this would be very professional. It also would cause a lot of pain :)   I'm using Qgis 1.8.0-Lisboa under Linux. The openlayers plugin is version 0.92. Use counter before its value is set I'd like to use a counter in the text which however is only set at a later point. Like so:  \newcounter{howmany} There are \thehowmany items in this list: \begin{enumerate}   \item one   \item two   \item three \setcounter{howmany}{\theenumi} \end{enumerate}   And it should say "There are 3 items in this list". But that doesn't work. Well, sure. I need to use \refstepcounter to get that save-functionality. But \refstepcounter only increments it by one, and there doesn't seem to be a \refsetcounter ;) Any suggestions? A loop after the enumerate over \refstepcounters? Redefining \item to include \refstepcounter? There gotta be a simpler way, no?  Thanks! Using TP4056 module to charge battery while load remains connected We regularly get questions about wormholes on this site. See for example  and . Various wormhole solutions are known, of which my favourite is  because it's closest to what every schoolboy (including myself many decades ago) thinks of as the archetypal wormhole.  The trouble is that Visser has pulled the same trick as  of starting with the required (local) geometry and working out what stress-energy tensor is required to create it. So Visser can tell us that if we arrange exotic string along the edges of a cube the spacetime geometry will locally look like a wormhole, but we know nothing about what two regions of spacetime are connected.  My question is this: suppose I construct a Visser wormhole by starting in Minkowksi spacetime with arbitrarily low densities of exotic matter and gradually assembling them into the edges of a cube, how would the spacetime curvature evolve as I did so?  I'm guessing that I would end up with something like Wheeler's bag of gold spacetime. So even though I would locally have something that looked like a wormhole it wouldn't lead anywhere interesting - just to the inside of the bag. I'm also guessing that my question has no answer because it's too hard to do any remotely rigorous calculation. Still, if anyone does know of such calculations or can point me to references I would be most interested. Find the limit if it exists of $S_{n+1} = \frac{1}{2}(S_n +\frac{A}{S_n})$ Suppose that $S_0$ and A are positive numbers, let $$S_{n+1} = \frac{1}{2}\left(S_n +\frac{A}{S_n}\right)$$ with $n \geq 0 $.

I've been reading forum posts and blogs who mention "my guy" syndrome as a specific type of difficult player, but I can't seem to find a solid definition for the term. Can someone explain this particular kind of problem player to me? How do you deal with this kind of problem? When you watch a video in YouTube, you can seek it with the thumbnail preview. Many Windows' and MacOS' video players have this feature, but what about Linux's? I've already read , but the information in it seems out-of-date.  is still alive but the project is neglected (see ), and actually the player doesn't work on the latest Ubuntu or Linux Mint.  Is there any video player which has the feature and works on the latest linux distributions? Or must I use Windows' one with VirtualBox? If only VLC would implement this feature, but it seems that won't happen as far as I read .

Nonabelian semidirect products of order $pq$? Say I want to book a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago.  Say the airline also flies to St. Louis from Fort Launderdale but has a connecting flight through Chicago.  If I book that flights from FLL->ORD->STL and just get off in Chicago, what possible problems can I run into, assuming I didn't check any bags and only have carry on?  This scenario exist for Southwest, but I wanted this be more of a general question that would apply to all airlines. I'm level 10 on Pokemon Go. I've caught at least 150 Pokemon, and had no problems. Now, every time I try to catch a Pokemon, no matter the level, it just rolls twice in the pokeball, breaks free, then runs away. Can anyone provide some insight on how to fix this problem? Should I be worried that yum update suddenly wants to update well over 100 packages on my CentOS 6 system?
