I am writing my CV using moderncv package, everythig is nice but I have a problem with \cventry command. I have something like this:   (it means 2010 - now)  I would want to have this in one line, rather than in two lines. I tried looking into the moderncv style files but with no success. What can I do to achieve the effect I want?
'Drop us a line' - letter or phone call? According to , dropping someone a line means sending them a short message.  Is this correct? I always thought it meant phoning someone, the line referring to a telephone line. I found an example in the  for Dynamic LINQ that allows you to use a sql-like string (e.g. OrderBy("Name, Age DESC")) for ordering. Unfortunately, the method included only works on IQueryable&lt;T&gt;. Is there any way to get this functionality on IEnumerable&lt;T&gt;? I want to make Morrocan-stye pickled lemons, but I was only able to find , and it says:  In On Food and Cooking, Harold McGee suggests that a solution of five to 10% salt is needed to achieve a good North African-style preserved lemon  I make sauerkraut with 20 grams of salt per kilogram of cabbage, so 2%. So lemons taking much more salt than cabbage is surprising and confusing; since they start out acidic, I would expect them if anything to require less salt. I'm not worried about harmful microbes growing; I'm worried about the fermentation microbes not being able to grow. It's my understanding that higher salt concentrations with cabbage not only slow down fermentation, but actually .  had the same issues:  I've never quite understood the need for such excessive salting when making preserved lemons. They still ferment great at normal levels of salt, and you then need to worry less about them being overly salty to use in future recipes. As far as I can tell it's solely from tradition. Also, from checking out On Food and Cooking, it seems that McGee only points out that originally they are done with 5 to 10% salt content. I'm curious where you read/saw that he recommended such?  Does anyone have any text- and/or experience-based opinion agreeing or disagreeing with the &quot;5 to 10%&quot; figure? Can Rails Routing Helpers (i.e. mymodel_path(model)) be Used in Models? Let's say you tell me to produce randomly a number from 1-100, and I choose the number 47. Can it be said that there is a specific reason I chose the number 47, and that it is not completely random? By random I mean that there is absolutely no reason this number in particular was chosen.    It seems odd to me, since it seems like since I have applied conscious effort to produce or choose a number within that range, or even without range, that it can't be truly random, but there might be a reason why I chose that number amongst the many others I could have chosen.  I guess the general question, which I'm interested to know if any philosophers in the past have discussed, is whether our thoughts are necessarily based on prior thoughts, or if thoughts can be truly spontaneous and random? How to prove $a^3 + b^3 +c^3 - 3abc =1 $, If a,b,c are infinite series as given in the description box below? How do I prove that $$ a^3+b^3+c^3−3abc = 1 $$ if   $ a = 1+\frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^6}{6!}......$ , $b=x+\frac{x^4}{4!}+\frac{x^7}{7!}....$ , $c=\frac{x^2}{2!}+\frac{x^5}{5!}+\frac{x^8}{8!}......$ ?  I have tried the following :-  I discovered that $a+b+c=e^x$ and that $a=\frac{d(b)}{dx}$, $b=\frac{d(c)}{dx}$, $c=\frac{d(a)}{dx}$ . But I am unable to proceed further with these information. What do two question marks together mean in C#? Ran across this line of code:  FormsAuth = formsAuth ?? new FormsAuthenticationWrapper();   What do the two question marks mean, is it some kind of ternary operator? It's hard to look up in Google. Is it possible to transfer Minecraft PE worlds to Minecraft PC? Polynomial passing through two points with specific tangents How can I calculate a Polynomial that passes through the origin and a given point (P) having given tangents at the origin (Ot) and the given point (Op)?  The given point will always be to the right of the origin (Px &gt; 0). The polynomial should be a function of x (i.e. it moves from left to right).  I believe a 3rd degree polynomial will always fit these constraints, but I'm not certain.  I am looking for a function f( x, Px, Py, Ot, Pt ) = ? which plots a polynomial for x, satisfying the four given values.  When x = 0,   f()   = 0 When x = Px,  f()   = Py When x = 0,   f'()  = Ot When x = Px,  f'()  = Pt Upload files upto 2GB from Apex How do I sort custom objects alphabetically in an array in Java? How to reduce memory usage on a Unix webserver I'm currently using a Joyent Accelerator to host my webapps, and it's working fine, however I need to reduce costs so I'm downgrading my current plan and that imposes some new memory limits (256M rss, 512M swap). I wasn't too far over them yesterday, but after restarting Apache several times today, I'm now 411M rss, 721M swap (prstat -Z -s cpu).  Searching in Server Fault only gives me lots of ways and specific tools to monitor the server, but no advice on how to reduce/optimize it's memory usage. I've also seen , but I don't think it's good for this particular (or may I say generic?) situation.  The server is running Solaris on a shared CPU, and I'm using a Apache + MySQL + PHP stack.  I'm interested in knowing the steps one can take to troubleshot this and solve the issues. However, I'm also running out of time to lower my memory foot print and downgrade the plan before the current ends, so anything that can make magic and save the day is welcome as well :) Why do we need the trilogy instead of just one site? How can I avoid SSH's host verification for known hosts? Why is there a diode connected in parallel to a relay coil? In most electrical circuits with a relay, a diode is connected in parallel to the coil of the relay. Why? Is it always a good practice? Creating the Nabla operator (also known as Del operator) as an operator I want to write batch or something, that will write output of top into a file on login.  I did top &gt;&gt; output-file, but it contains some strange character!  Can somebody give a simple tutorial about how to write batch file in Linux? How to prove this binomial identity $\sum_{r=0}^n {r {n \choose r}} = n2^{n-1}$? I am trying to prove this binomial identity $\sum_{r=0}^n {r {n \choose r}} = n2^{n-1}$ but am not able to think something except induction,which is of-course not necessary (I think) here, so I am inquisitive to prove this in a more general way.  The left side of an identity occurs while solving another problem (concerning binomial theorem) so I am more interested in deriving the right side from the left side, else I have to remember it now onward.  EDIT: I am more interested in an algebraic proof rather than combinatorial argument or something involving calculus (however I liked  and  solution), hence I am removing the combinatorics tag. How does one actually show from associativity that one can drop parentheses? Greek Text (babel) and English Code Text (listings): Problem I use the babel package in order to write in greek with font "kerkis".
