Memoir Class to Word

Does anyone know how to produce a Word document from a Memoir Class Latex file? I am now thoroughly dependent on using Memoir, and have an urgent need to send a colleague a Word file. Before I used Memoir, I was able to reliably create rtf files using LaTeX2RTF. With Memoir this no longer works, and I am stuck. I have spent a long hours trying to find tools that will work for me (including tools for converting from PDF to Word) but nothing works well. All this is causing me to consider only using Memoir for projects I am sure I will not have to share with Word users. Any ideas wou

Casting woes...

Hi! For a project, I need to store some data generically in a uint8_t[]. The types are: uint8_t = unsigned integer 8bit, uint32_t = unsigned int 32 bit, uint64_t = unsigned integer 64bit. I am using gcc 3.4.x on Debian and x86 platform. The code is: // --------------------------------------------------------------------- {... some calculations going one ... } uint32_t part_1=0; uint64_t part_2=0; uint8_t* result_ptr[12]; part_1=(.. some big number ..) part_2=(.. another big number ..) std::cout<<part_1<<"****"<<part_2<<std::endl; // store the two numbers in result_pt

parsing practice

This simple little program takes from stdin and writes to stdout. No other streams are involved. Why am I segmentation faulting? I am guessing it has something to do with the argc==0 part of the program but I don't know how I should change it. All characters on each line should begin with an '+' otherwise the characters aren't printed or in this case an error is triggered.

Old MySQL remnants shagging MySQL in Wampserver

OK .... so I have totally disinstalled previous implementations of both Tomcat and MySQL. I then deleted all the various folders they left behind. Except (as I have now found out) there was a MySQL service left defined (though non-working now) in the Services list. This meant that after installing Wampserver, there were two MySQL services (with different names). I have tried to remove all trace of this spurious service, and it no longer appears in the list of services. I have even gone back to a restore point before I first installed the previous MySQL - and then reins

Energizer USB Duo battery charger hides a Trojan

Energizer USB Duo battery charger hides a Trojan March 9, 2010 by Lin Edwards (PhysOrg.com) -- The Energizer Duo USB battery charger has been hiding a backdoor Trojan in its software that affects computers using Windows. According to Symantec the Trojan has probably been there since 10th May 2007. Energizer has now taken the software for the model CHUSB charger off the market and removed the site from which it could be downloaded, and the company is asking customers who downloaded the Windows version to uninstall it.

df for confidence interval with a random effect (maybe Satterthwaite)

Hello Group, Suppose I want to construct a confidence interval for a variable's value (not mean) based on 8 samples, each with 200 observations. There is a random effect across samples, such that: observed value = true score + sample effect (r) + error or simply y = x + r + e So r is like a per-sample bias, normally distributed across samples, and independent of x. Simply treating the data as one large sample (N=1600) and computing a classic confidence interval: LL = grand mean + t_inv(alpha, 1599) * std dev UL = grand mean - t_inv(alpha, 1599) * std

Aliasing a class method

Hi, I've made some changes to net/http that allows me to bind to a local IP address using TCPSocket. The changes are in a separate script that i require after net/http. Problem is that several warnings of redefined methods pop up during my tests. I've managed to remove most using alias_method except for one class method ..ruby/1.8/net/http.rb - line 450: HTTP.new I've tried the following with no luck.

Need help - trying to write a basic renderer

Hi everybody, As the subject says, I'm trying to write a very basic renderer, but I've stumbled upon a problem. Basically, I create a window (1024x768), and draw a small circle on it, which I then move five pixels to the right every second. It all works fine (sort of), but as soon as the circle moves, the background is no longer black, and becomes white. I have absolutely no idea why - can anybody please shed some light on this?

nested simulation or time-generating "for"

Hi, there! I am trying to develop a kind of "for" block that executes a function-call subsystem a number of times (in one single time step) as if time were elapsing at each iteration for the subsystem only. The idea is to nest a simulation into one step of the actual simulation while minimizing changes to the simulated model to be nested (as compared to a version that is not nested). This seems possible if one resorts to the framework for asynchronous tasks. I developed a 2-level S-function based on the code for "Task Sync" and so far I have managed to implement code generation that does wh

Dark Salvation Demo

If anybody is interested in good old fashioned FPS fun there is a demo available for "Dark Salvation". This is an old school first person shooter released in 2009 by Mangled Eye Studios. It uses a heavily modified version of the Quake 3 engine. It may not be the best looking game in the world, but it actually doesn't look that bad and is a lot of fun to play. Demo here: http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/11/05/download-dark-salvation-demo/ Homepage here: http://mangledeye.com/ The demo is just under 500mb and consists of 2 full levels from the retail game plus a bonus

Question about RandStream.

Just started to learn about RandStream (the new way to generate uniform or normal random numbers). RandStream is a handle class and I get a bit confused about that. I am a bit behind on learning the new Matlab OOP. I am pretty comfortable with value class but not with handle class. For example, function foo h = RandStream('mt19937ar'); end Everytime I call this function, does Matlab create an instance of RandStream (i.e. allocate memory) and then delete the instance (i.e. free memory)? So after the function returns, I won't have access to the object created inside foo( ). Righ

Reassigning numbers

Using A2007. I've got an accdb that links reasons given for treatment refusal to a list of patients. Currently the reasons are numbered 1 thru 70.

Mapping home and end keys - ksh and Putty

Hi, My environment is ksh88 (ugh!) under HP-UX, with Putty as my connection client. I'm trying to remap my arrow, home, and end keys to the emacs editing mode key sequences. I've got the arrow keys working thanks to Google: # vt100 normal (non-application) cursor keys # alias -x __A=$(print '\020') # Set the up arrow to Ctrl-P (previous command) # alias -x __B=$(print '\016') # Set the down arrow to Ctrl-N (next command) # alias -x __C=$(print '\006') # Set the right arrow to Ctrl-F (move forward) # alias -x __D=$(print '\002') # Set the left arrow to Ctrl-B (move bac

how to modifly the random number generator

I have created a simple system which generates 2 random numbers that always add to 1. I did this by using 2 uniform random number generators and an adder which sums the results together. I took the sum and ran it into 2 dividers so that each divider was dividing the original random number by the sum of the 2 random numbers to get 2 random numbers that add to one. I hooked a scope up to the dividers and realized I was not getting a single random number. This random number generator is a subsystem of a bigger system which can only use 1 value. I'm wondering if the random number generator is

Locating a particular column

Please I have a huge matrix with many columns and rows. I intend to find the column that produces the largest absolute difference, i.e. the column whose max value minus its min value gives the largest absolute difference. I know that to locate the column and row of a particular entry in matrix h, e.g. the max value in that matrix, then one can use [r,c] = find(h==max(h)). But I can not use this method to find the column of my absolute difference because this difference is not any of the matrix entry. Does anyone out there know how to go about this?

Sequel migrations

Hi. I've just started to use Sequel and discovered that they removed the migration mechanism in the last version of this ORM. What happened with migrations in Sequel? They replaced them with a new technic of building a DB schema during a development process or they simply got rid of the migrations? Any help and links are welcome.

[OT] What were Microsoft thinking?

So I just got Windows 7, and it seems nice. But one problem --- all the MS apps have invisible menu bars! Sure, you can press ALT to bring them back, but how on earth is a complete beginner going to realise this? For example, to bring up the Folder Options dialog in Windows Explorer you must type Alt+T and then O. There is no visible "Tools" menu at all. How is Joe Newbie going to figure this out? Seriously, what is going on in Microsoft HQ?!

Resample Data to Match X-values

I have X and Y data vectors and I want to resample Y to a new X that contains values that are not at even intervals. I've looked at the interp function, but it resamples by factors of the original.
