If i book a flight that goes for example  London -> Paris -> New York  Is that ok if I miss the London -> Paris flight but get in from Paris? and on return I skip the Paris -> London flight.  I thought it should not be a problem but I remember reading somewhere that airlines do not allow that. Is that true?
Recently I booked a flight using my points. I am  planning to fly to Seattle WA from Indianapolis Indiana.  Stop over is Chicago.  On the day of my flight I am supposed to be in Chicago.   So I was wondering if I can directly board my Seattle flight from Chicago thereby not showing up in Indianapolis.  Is this okay?  Will United airlines cancel my entire journey if I do not show up in Indianapolis?
Photoshop using Marque Tool > Path > Circular But Not a perfect shape? Please consider this image below :   This is happened when I have a circular shape (marquee tool selection). THen after that I converted to Work Path (by right click of that selection). And I add 2.0 as its Tolerance Pixel.   After applying it. The shape become not perfect, could you see the difference? I make it with a black background so everyone could see it from the image no.2.  I realized this is a problem, because If i use that path for placing a text. the text wont follow the correct path as circular (selection), instead ... the shape a bit changed (i think it's ugly shape :: see the detail of the arrow).  How to solve this case ? I'm using Photoshop CS3. Intuitive explanation of why $\dim\operatorname{Im} T + \dim\operatorname{Ker} T = \dim V$ I'm having a hard time truly understanding the meaning of $\dim\operatorname{Im} T + \dim\operatorname{Ker} T = \dim V$ where $V$ is the domain of a linear transformation $T:V\to W$. I've used this equation several times in many problems, and I've gone over the proof and I believe that I fully understand it, but I don't understand the intuitive reasoning behind it. I'd appreciate an intuitive explanation of it.  Just to be clear, I do understand the equation itself, I am able to use it, and I know how to prove it; my question is what is the meaning of this equation from a linear algebra perspective. Is it "5–6 weeks are a lot of time" or "5–6 weeks is a lot of time"? I was just copyediting  and my native English speaker Sprachgefühl told me I had to correct the grammar of one sentence:     ... 5–6 weeks are a lot of time ...   by changing the are to is. But as I was doing so I started wondering why is it that in this case it seems that I have to make the verb disagree with the plural subject?  So is my feeling for English going bad or if I did the right thing, how could I explain this to somebody who's learning English for instance? How to create individual chapter PDFs from included TeXs? My document structure has   one file with preamble (i.e. MainTex) and around 75 individual .tex files (i.e. Chapter_01, Chapter_02, ..., Chapter_75) representing each chapter.   I am using \include command to create a one big PDF file, the output is MainTex.pdf. Life is all good up to this point.   If I have to create individual PDF for each chapter then do I need to run 75 times with each chapter name and rename the PDF manually to match to chapter name. Because if I include only Chapter_01 and run it creates PDF named as MainTex.pdf.  Is there a way I can automate this workflow? Can [sic] be used to highlight a punctuational error?    In the sentence below, the bracketed sic would obviously denote that the punctuation preceding it was an error &mdash; that is, a semicolon should supplant the comma. Has anybody ever seen this usage, and would you support it?     The sun is high, [sic] put on some sunblock. I need a quick algorithm to select 5 random elements from a generic list. For example, I'd like to get 5 random elements from a List&lt;string&gt;. I have the following code: info = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(&quot;TheProgram.exe&quot;, String.Join(&quot; &quot;, args)); info.CreateNoWindow = true; info.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; info.RedirectStandardOutput = true; info.UseShellExecute = false; System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(info); p.WaitForExit(); Console.WriteLine(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()); //need the StandardOutput contents  I know that the output from the process I am starting is around 7MB long. Running it in the Windows console works fine. Unfortunately programmatically this hangs indefinitely at WaitForExit. Note also this code does NOT hang for smaller outputs (like 3KB). Is it possible that the internal StandardOutput in ProcessStartInfo can't buffer 7MB? If so, what should I do instead? If not, what am I doing wrong? How fast is Earth moving through the universe? As the galaxy is moving and the solar system orbiting the galaxy and the Earth orbiting the sun. So how fast is each object moving and what is the fastest we move at?  Do we even know how fast the galaxy is moving that is not relative to another galaxy (although I guess velocity has to be measured relative to something). How can I make two objects interact I am making an animation where a person sits down on sofa. I need to make it such that when the person sits on the sofa or presses it with his hand, it deforms. However in my case, when he presses on the sofa, his hands goes trough the sofa. How can I fix this problem? Surfing the web anonymously What is the best, fastest, safest way to surf the web anonymously, and how much anonymity can you really achieve? With jQuery, how do I find out which key was pressed when I bind to the keypress event?  $('#searchbox input').bind('keypress', function(e) {});   I want to trigger a submit when ENTER is pressed.  [Update]  Even though I found the (or better: one) answer myself, there seems to be some room for variation ;)  Is there a difference between keyCode and which - especially if I'm just looking for ENTER, which will never be a unicode key?  Do some browsers provide one property and others provide the other one? Does Stack Exchange use caching and if so, how? Change default shell for Terminator Creating polygons as % of original area using ArcGIS Desktop? I have a polygon shapefile and need to create new polygons, within the originals, as % of original area.  I used buffer by field (Field= new area as %) but the buffers are created in circles around the polygons.  What am I doing wrong?  I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10. Extract substring in Bash Given a filename in the form someletters_12345_moreleters.ext, I want to extract the 5 digits and put them into a variable.  So to emphasize the point, I have a filename with x number of characters then a five digit sequence surrounded by a single underscore on either side then another set of x number of characters.  I want to take the 5 digit number and put that into a variable.  I am very interested in the number of different ways that this can be accomplished. Google Maps API map doesn't appear GTA V for PC exited unexpectedly I recently ordered the GTA V PC from Steam and when I finished installing and launch the game. It gave me "Grand Theft Auto V has exited unexpectedly". I tried "safe mod" and every option available, but none of them work. I checked some forums and found a lot of people having the same problems. What could be the possible cause? I'm using a laptop with these specs:  CPU: i7 4700m GPU: AMD HD8970M RAM: 8GB  I'm pretty sure my laptop is way beyond the minimum specs. Does someone know how can I enter the game? I am a newbie in Latex. My goal is to have the word "Chapter" in the title of any chapter, and the word "Appendix" in the title of appendix. I also want to add "Appendix" in TOC. However, using the following MWE from my university, I end up having "Appendix A" in TOC.
