Change Font Size for PDF Text Comments in Preview

To modify the correct plist, use: defaults write -app Preview ... You'll need to make sure you have the correct key, too. I have the following keys in my Preview plist:However, modifying those does not change the text size for either Annotations or Notes. Annotations seem to keep the last settings used. Notes don't seem to be editable in the UI.Also, note that you don't need to use grep to read a specific plist key. E.

g. defaults read com.

apple.

Preview PVAnnotationFontSize_5EDIT: Having probed into the plist data and the text strings within the Preview app itself, I'm not convinced that there is an editable key for the font size or style in Preview's Notes

Iexplorer.exe as Custom User Interface - Restart if closed?

I have recently setup Kiosk Mode for local libraries usingUserConfAdministrative TemplatesSystemCustom User Interface

Pointing to "C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe"Along with some other lockdown policies (No taskmanager, disk access, removable devices etc)I did not use the -k (kiosk switch) as I found opening PDF etc would also run in Full screen Kiosk mode and cause user's grief. like being stuck with a PDF open in full screen over top of their IE window and unable to close it.As mhouston100 wrote:

"To add an update, using the policy there are a few caveats: 1. You can't close the browser OR tabs, so users opening multiple tabs will continue to exist regardless 2. It seems to cause issues with browsing to different sites, displaying an error 'restrictions on this computer prevent you...' I'm doing some more testing at the moment as this has again changed what I'm looking at."I found the same issue when using this GP Restriction - Hyperlinks were being blocked in IE - even poor old Google was being restricted.Using the above PowerScript works a treat - cheers mhouston100

If the cost of the query exceeds the Cost Threshold of Parallelism value and the cost of the parallel plan is less than the cost of a serial plan, then a parallel plan will be created and used. In some cases,QO chooses Serial plan than parallel plan becausue parallel plan is more expensive than serial plan in that case.

For example if query contains scalar or relational operators that cannot be run in parallel mode.In some cases QO make wrong decision due to inaccurate information, outdated statistics, poor cardinality estimate etc.

Due to which cost of serial plan is slightly more than parallel plan.so QO still choose serial plan.To overcome this issue query may be optimize and statistics should also be updated.This help QO in making correct decision.These are welcome steps, as soon as you improve your query some of the plan were parallel and query performance improved.So there might be further scope of improving your query.One should pay more attention in optimizing query and tuning index than straight away trying HintRest of the things like using HINT,parameter sniffing,OPTION(RECOMPILE) are already discuss.

Are you sure you have the network cable plugged in?The UBUNTU base install assigns IPaddresses with DHCP.

Unless during the install the $USER assigned a static IPaddress. From the original post.output lshw -C network *-network:1

logical name: eth1output ethtool eth1:Settings for eth1:Link detected: no"Post that output". IPaddress, NETWORK, SUBNETMASK, GATEWAY, BROADCAST, DNS,"Post that output"."Post the private IPaddress, NETWORK, SUBNETMASK, GATEWAY" of the router.NOTE: "REMOVE" the routers public IP address: X.X.X.X it can be found at What is my IP Address page. (from another computer connected to your local area network LAN)For example, if you have multiple computers within your home you may want to the private IP addresses of each computer within your home. Your router gets the public IP address, and each of the computers, tablets and smartphones connected to your router (via wired or wifi) get a private IP address from your router or server via DHCP protocol or Statically assigned. That is beyond the scope of the question

You can allow domain credential logon with Biometrics in win7/server2K8R2 with a group policy setting. Those credentials will require enrollment, but they should roam from workstation to workstation. As far as programmatic enrollment goes...obviously you would need the fingerprint data to start with.

..It's something that I'm researching at the moment.The post above is incorrect about how biometric data is stored, and the need to enroll on each workstation that will be used. Since this question was answered the WBF has been completely documented. It does NOT "pack the data away in the registry".Active Directory is the mechanism that's used for Enterprise Wide solutions. It's enabled with a GPO. I also works for UAC elevation. I've been using this with Windows 8 and it's really nice.

I don't recall this being settled on-screen one way or the other.On the one hand, it would be odd if Earth was completely abandoned because of environmental degradation. It is humanity's original home, after all. Even if people needed artificial environments to survive, you would expect a few people to hold on there. And if they can terraform other worlds, surely they could use the same technology to fix Earth's environment, even if it took a long time.Then again, there is absolutely no mention of ongoing contact with Earth. If anyone was still there, you would expect them to be able to send radio signals back and forth. And they always refer to "Earth-That-Was", not "Earth-That-Is-Far-Away".It could be that the school lesson we see at the beginning of the film Serenity was just sanitised Alliance propaganda, and the real reason for leaving Earth was more alarming. Perhaps the planet was made uninhabitable by out-of-control nanotechnology, a robot uprising, or the like. Or maybe the settlers in the Firefly universe were deliberately exiled as criminals, religious or political dissidents. We can speculate but I don't think we really know.

Since verbs in REST under HTTP are restricted to the HTTP verbs, everything in the URI should be name a noun. So the common trick is to do what you say -- convert the custom verb (sendemail) to a processor noun (emailsender) instead.At first that seems like a word trick, but it does have some merit. You can then use the "data processing" provision of the POST verb to post commands to your processor. It opens the door to responses like a 202 Accepted if you want to do asynchronous processing.One thing to watch out for is namespace collision; the processor noun can collide with your identifier namespace. For example:.

..now you can't have a user named "emailprocessor" because it collides with the processor noun. That may not be a problem if the IDs are ints or UUIDs, but it's something to bear in mind....(And the strict answer is that all the URIs the client uses should come from hypermedia, so the design of the URI should be opaque to the user anyway.

Time travel, as presented in Endgame, doesnt solve all problems.Merely travelling back in time does not, as demonstrated in the movie, change the present. So, unless theres something you want to borrow from the past to help the future, and youre prepared to create a new alternate reality while doing so, its not a helpful idea.

It only solved one problem in Endgame because they travelled back in time to borrow the Infinity Stones (at great risk to themselves and the alternate timelines that created), then had Hulk snap his fingers (which was fairly risky for Hulk himself) and while doing so, they risked past Thanos reclaiming the past Stones and doing something even worse, and may have created new problems in new alternate realities (like Loki portalling off with the Tesseract).In short, it's an incredibly risky thing to do. Worth it to save the lives of half of the living beings in the entire universe? Just about. Worth it for anything else? Almost certainly not.But who knows? Maybe every future MCU movie will have a time travel section!

The simple answer is that you don't know that you'd get paid, just as you don't know that you won't get mugged and have your cash stolen, or have someone steal your credit card and run up a bunch of charges. But all these things are crimes (in the US, at least), and someone who does them faces the prospect of fines and possible prison time. (With checks, if it's just accidental, you'd only get a significant "bad check" fee from your bank.

..) As others have mentioned, for large sums there are things like cashiers' checks that are guaranteed. Though people do occasionally write fairly large personal checks, e.g. this one for a divorce settlement: http://money.

Credit cards really aren't much different: I could easily run up $100K or so in credit card purchases, then just not bother to pay the bills. Though I think it would be the card issuer that would suffer the loss, not the merchant

I hope it's OK to post an answer to my own question since it's community-wiki. Here are a couple of things I found down this rabbit-hole.Dean Simonton at UC Davis has done some work claiming that there is a slow age-related decline in quality and quantity of creative output, but the relevant variable is career age, not biological age. He also makes it clear that although he believes there is a clear aggregate trend, the individual variability is much greater than the aggregate variability. Furthermore, he attributes the decline mostly to factors other than biological aging.Simonton, D. K. (1997). Creative productivity: A predictive and explanatory model of career trajectories and landmarks. Psychological Review, 104, 66-89.

This paper is behind a subscription paywall (but there is a link below in the comments), so instead I'm posting this link to the PowerPoint (sorry) of his 2005 talk at the Max Planck International Research Network on Aging:http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/Simonton/MxAgCrProd.pptI couldn't find a good sound bite from Simonton's paper. Here is a quote from Arne Dietrich's 2004 paper The cognitive neuroscience of creativity:.
