Recently I converted my SQL Server 2005 database to SQL Server 2008. Now I can't attach that db to SQL Server 2005. I do not have any backup of that db file as well. I have tried to generate scripts but that way i can only recover the tables. Is there any way to convert the whole database along with existing records? Please help
Database files that are built using SQL 2008 are not compatable with 2005. Is there a work around?
mongodb group values by multiple fields When I go to any github.com page in Chrome, I get a big ugly error:  You attempted to reach github.com, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications. You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain.  The same thing happens (in Chrome and with curl) when I go to  too. This strange problem started about a week and a half ago. Here's what I see when I click the broken lock icon in the address bar:   But gist.github.com works just fine:   It doesn't work with curl either:  Everything works fine in Firefox. How can I fix my root CA problem? Here's what it looks like in Firefox:   Update: I noticed that the first certificate in the chain is different in my broken Chrome/Safari as compared to Chrome on my other computer.   (There's no nasty red X anymore because I trusted it in Safari.) See how the issuers are different? What can I make of that? How does a battery ( primary cell ) work? I'm having an hard time understanding primary cells. There are plenty of videos and explanations about the reactions that happen inside the battery, but you must have a strong background in chemistry to really understand them. Instead, I would love to have a description that abstracts from the chemicals details, and still manages to explain its basic working princeples! I would like it to address the following questions/doubts:     Electrons flow form higher potential to lower potential so, when you buy a  battery, is an electric field already there, before connecting it to a wire? (I presume yes) So,How is this field created? Are the electrons at the top and the protons at  the bottom, or just electrons at the top and the bottom is neutral? How are electrons kept together in the same place before connecting the battery  to the wire? What does prevent them to flow inside the battery? How does the battery pump up the electrons? and at which rate? What makes it burn out? and after many cycles does it burn out?       I know there are a lot of questions but my mind is exploding. I don't expect everything to be abstracted from the chemicals but as long as you can through analogies, or intuitive principles, i'd love that. Anyway the main intent of the answer must be addressing the doubts listed. I updated some entries in the  at C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc.  As a test, I decided to make Google point to 127.0.0.1.  # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # #      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server #       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host  127.0.0.1       localhost ::1             localhost 127.0.0.1       google.com   This works fine on Windows Vista, but not on Widows 7.

I'm loading an XML document in my C# application with the following:  XDocument xd1 = new XDocument(); xd1 = XDocument.Load(myfile);   but before that, I do test to make sure the file exists with:  File.Exists(myfile);   But... is there an (easy) way to test the file before the XDocument.Load() to make sure it's a valid XML file?  In other words, my user can accidentally click on a different file in the file browser and trying to load, say, a .php file causes an exception.

In Windows 7 with a single screen, you can drag a window to the right and a window to the left to maximize them both at half the screen, letting you quickly and neatly see two windows simultaneously.

I'm an entry level programmer so please be descriptive in your responses.  I am trying to use a Java API given as a .jar file in my C# .net application.  I don't know much Java, but this .jar file says "no main-class manifest attribute" when I try to run it so this means its a library?  This Java API also comes with a .java file which shows how to use the library but I cannot see the code inside the .jar.  I found  on this site, and one of the answers reads, "In simple way you can pack your java classes to jar file then In C# use Process class for execute and map IO stream."  I am semi-familiar with the Process class in C# but I don't understand how I could use it to use a Java library in my C# .net project.  Is this possible? or was that answer incorrect?  If so, could you explain how I can use the .jar library in my C# app. How do I avoid rendering glitches from overlapping faces? Reading order for Cosmere series by Brandon Sanderson My entry into Brandon Sanderson's works is Mistborn Trilogy, I finished and loved it. Then I got to know that many of his series are connected and happen in the same universe - Cosmere. Next I started with the Way of Kings, but am now kind of worried if I might read the series in the wrong order. So what is the right order to read them? is it the publication order..?   Elantris (2005)  Mistborn Trilogy Warbreaker (2009) The Stormlight Archive: The Way of Kings (2010) Mistborn: The Alloy of Law (2011) The Emperor's Soul (2012, novella) Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell (2013, short story published in Dangerous Women) The Stormlight Archive: Words of Radiance (2014)    or I have seen people suggest the following order too,   Mistborn Trilogy Elantris and the Emperor's Soul The Way of Kings Warbreaker Words of Radiance The Alloy of Law Shadows of Self   I have also read posts where they say it doesn't matter which order you read it in. So am confused, since I have already started the Way Of Kings (Only a few chapters in), should I stop it and go back to Elantris, and follow an order, or should I just continue finish this and pick other books in an order.

UIDatePicker show only month and day I'd like to have a UIDatePicker where the user can pick a month and a day but not the year. I'm aware that leap years have an extra day, so for simplicity, let's throw that day away.

Is trace of regular representation in Lie group a delta function? My major is physics. I need to use some tools in group theory, but I am really  confused by the trace in compact infinite groups. The following is my question:  In discrete group theory, the irreducible representation of identity group element $e$ is always an identity matrix. So the trace of $e$ under  regular representation is the order of the group : $\chi(e) = |G|$. I hope to get  similar result for Lie group. For example, SO(2) has infinite number of irreducible representations, $D^{(m)}$, where $m=0,\pm 1, \pm 2,\cdots $. All of them are 1-dimensional $D^{(m)} = e^{im\phi}$. Here $\phi$ is the rotation angle. For element $R(\phi)$ in SO(2), the trace in $m$th irreducible representation should be  $\chi(R(\phi))=e^{im\phi}$, if we sum all these traces up, we get the trace in regular representation. So what is the trace of $e$ in the regular representation ? It seems to be infinite. The package babel with the ngerman option (and most other languages as well, but not english) provides the shorthand "|, which prevents a ligature at the given position (see p. 81 of the , e.g. Auf"|lage will result in the word Auflage without an fl-ligature (as is desired because, in German, you don't want ligatures across morpheme borders).
