I am attempting to create a 24x36 map of New York City, and overlay it with a shapefile from City Planning. I'm using the Openlayers plugin, and I've tried all of the different types of base street map layers. I have been able to successfully convert the shapefile from a NAD 83 projection (EPSG 2263) to a WGS 84 projection (EPSG 3857), but I'm still suffering from some type of shift whenever I draw the map out on the print composer on a large scale piece of paper. The larger I try to print, the more dramatic the shift the misalignment.
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.
Why are these sites cloning my content, and how do I stop them? So I was searching for one of my own websites on Google: http://www.botlibre.com  and to my surprise found some clones of my website, like:  http://83waystowasteyourtime.adidas.com  and:  http:// mediaiq.astral.comm  My question are:   Why are they creating clones of my website?  Some kind of SEO scheme or what? What gain could they be getting? How do they have a URL at adidas.com and astral.comm?  I assume it's not Adidas steeling my content. How do I shutdown these sites and stop people from stealing my content? (on Tomcat) I had applied for a PLAB (Doctors) Visa for the UK to appear in PLAB test. I got refused on the basis of two recent large deposits in the bank statement I provided (my mothers). In reality, these are my own savings which I had deposited in her account to make it more strong. The only objection I got was that I must provide evidence for the source of these deposits. Other than this, I have previously travelled to the UK and USA as well as other parts of the world and my travel history is fine. Can someone please advise on how to proceed and re-apply? Should north, south, east and west be capitalised? Should cardinal points be capitalised? Please give a reason why they should or should not. Banner ads should not be shown on the right-hand ad slot Why are some genes dominant over others? What is the mechanism behind it? If I have a brown eye gene which encodes the protein that is responsible for the brown color and have a blue eye gene as well, what is the reason that my eye color is brown? How does one gene maintain dominance over the other? I did some calculation and found out, that my Living End deck (modern) might be better of with 66 cards maindeck. SB still contains of 15 cards. Depending on the match up, I'd like to cut my deck for game two down to the normal 60. The SB than would contain 15+6 = 21 cards. Is this legal? Does Sheldon Cooper have Asperger's Syndrome? Solve $\sin(z) = z$ in complex numbers Show that $\sin(z) = z$ has infinitely many solutions in complex numbers. Little Picard theorem should help, but using big Picard theorem is undesirable. Thanks a lot! Let's say I'm running a simple server and have accept()ed a connection from a client.  What is the best way to tell when the client has disconnected? Normally, a client is supposed to send a close command, but what if it disconnects manually or loses network connection altogether? How can the server detect or handle this? what exactly is mathematical rigor? I am a programmer moving up to computer science and even in my past life as a mechanical engineer I used sufficient maths to get by but I have always wondered what exactly is this thing called rigor.  Please make me understand it. Density of ring of algebraic integers in $\mathbb C$ Clearly, $\mathbb Z$ is not dense in $\mathbb Q$ (and not dense in $\mathbb C$).  But why is the ring of algebraic integers $\overline{\mathbb Z}$ dense in $\overline{\mathbb Q}$?  In particular, if this is so, it is dense in $\mathbb C$. I created a new profile for gnome-terminal and I can switch between &quot;Implicit&quot; profile and the new created profile as you can see in the below image:  Now I wonder how can I switch between profiles using a command-line/script or maybe using a shortcut for this.  Note: Solutions like: gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Implicit &amp;&amp; exit   are excluded because I prefer not to close and open another terminal or get another terminal window in this process of changing the profile. I know this issue has been addressed before with different software, but how do I do it with Shapely?  I have a polygon with a very small gap on the interior of the shape:    Here is a close up:    The polygon is valid so I can't use the buffer trick, and simplifying the polygon also doesn't work. Since I upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu, I cannot install the Java OpenJDK package needed to compile Android custom ROMs. When I run sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk, the following error appears:  Reading package lists...

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

How do I fix this problem? Prolog count the number of times a predicate is true I would like to format binary or hexadecimal numbers with a space separator at each 2 or 4 digit (or any other value like 8 digit or more).  A small picture is better than a long explanation, here is what I would like to do:    As you can see in this mwe, I use the fmtcount package with padzeroes:      \documentclass{article}     \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}         \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}               \usepackage{fmtcount}     \begin{document}             Binary value : {\padzeroes[16]\binarynum{129}}$_{(2)}$ %             should display 0000 0000 1000 0001$_{(2)}$              Hexadecimal value: {\padzeroes[8]\Hexadecimalnum{65000}}$_{(16)}$ %             should display  00 00 FD E8$_{(2)}$     \end{document}   What I want to do is displaying numbers with various radix (2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 16) given a decimal number and format these numbers correctly with spaces and leading 0 (without having to perform the conversion by myself).  I already found some posts with similar questions, but none of them achieve this (they display number with thousand separators, like the numprint package, every 3 digits; or they do not make it automatic). Here are these posts :         EDIT two other linked questions:       I also prefer to use pdflatex. How long should a temporary notification (toast) appear? Mounting filesystem with special user id set In class we are currently covering upper/lower bounds, big Oh and omega and the like. I am pretty good on the "typical" functions one would do, but at a complete loss at "general" statements. This ons function, for example:  $$\forall f\in\mathcal{F}: \lfloor \sqrt{\lfloor f(n)\rfloor }\rfloor \in O(\sqrt{f(n)}).$$  the domain F by the same is all natural numbers that return a real positive number when inputted. My first instinct with something like this is to remove the floors, the general strategy I though to solve this is remove the outer floor, then get rid of the square root, and then the inner floor. But I have no idea how to go about this or if this is even the right way to do it.  Help please? Thanks in advance. When is "to" a preposition and when the infinitive marker?
