Friends, I had to redraw one of the community ads. A user pointed out that the box I used is licensed under a non-derivative work. To play safe, I changed the box to a safe one (I guess):
Use the package enumitem in the newest version:

Yes, he was (too conceited, I believe). Of course many remember the errors by Baresi and Baggio, but forget about Massaro who was on a lower level as a player than those two. Anyway, we both have something to forget about penalty shots.
Yesterday we had another "Answer the Unanswered" session, 21:00--23:00 GMT.
When we started, there were 192 unanswered questions (meaning without upvoted answers), after the session there were 157 left. Some were answered, some were closed after discussion, usually with a comment to the question...
@lockstep Thanks for pointing out the possible duplicate on my biblatex name prefix question. The answers there come close, but they don't seem to work in my example. If I put \togglefalse{blx@useprefix} at begin bibliography, the sorting still seems to be done using the prefix, even though the prefix doesn't appear initially in the output.
@AlanMunn Look closely at my answer in the linked question. You have to use the package option useprefix=false, then switch the toggle to true at the start of the document, then switch it agin to false at the start of the bibliography.
@PauloCereda Very good, and unlike anything I've seen before. The Infernal Comedy: confessions of a serial killer The sopranos were Claire Meghangi and Sophie Klussmann (who doesn't appear on the linked page for some reason.)
@lockstep Ah, you're right. I had useprefix=true as the initial state. So yes, I think we can close this as a duplicate. However, there is still one problem with your solution (not your fault) in a list of in-text citations, the de Sassure will be alphabetized with the Ds, which still isn't correct. Any way to fix that?
@lockstep In fact, if I modify my question taking into account your solution, but raising this issue, it wouldn't be a duplicate any more.
@Marco I think the trick is to redefine the name format in citations (labelname?) so that it will display as "Saussure, de" with useprefix=false. If you modify your answer this way, you'll have my upvote.
@lockstep Right. That seems to be the solution. My problem with biblatex hacking is that there are so many little pieces, I never know where to start looking to make the fix.
no problem. I'd be curious to see the result on someone else's CV :-)
I've been busy lately migrating the HTML part of my CV to github (together with the TeX part) and taking advantage of the gh-pages branch in github projects : raphink.github.com/CV
it's a cool github feature, very useful
Now I'm trying to think about how I could adapt this to make several pages, for projects, talks, etc. with the same layout
@PauloCereda: do you think it would be easier to pass the start and end dates as options to the package, like \usepackage[startdate=1999,enddate=2012]{moderntimeline} ?
@egreg LOL! I heard during the broadcasting that Amauri is still in Juve. The narrator said Amauri chose to fulfill his contract, even without playing. He receives a nice salary.
And Felipe Melo is now in Galatasaray.
Interesting: Saussure, Ferdinand de. and De Morgan, Augustus.
@AlanMunn The problem is just that! There's no general rule for knowing whether the particle is part of the name or not. Generally, French names should be referred to without the particle (if it's lowercase), IIRC.
@PauloCereda: I wonder if I could do it automatically. The first time, it would set the dates to random values, and store the given dates to an aux file, and at the second compile time, it would use the extrema of the entered dates.
Weird Firefox behaviour: if I select some text in chat and press command-C (on a Mac) it doesn't copy the text, but instead yields "(*) TeX, LaTeX and Friends | chat.stackexchange.com chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends"; If I choose copy from the Edit menu, the text copies correctly. Any ideas why?
@AlanMunn I really don't know, but I have some suspicions. This page could use some sort of script which maps certain keys. I'll try to take a deep look and mimic it on my Mac.
@egreg That's odd, since it works for me. I have v. 5.11 of Safari. (Not sure what you mean by command-C not modifying the clipboard. (other than that being the description of the issue itself.))
@AlanMunn I have version 5.0.3 on this machine; selecting some text in the chat and hitting Command-C doesn't modify the contents of the clipboard. It only works in the typing box.
@StefanKottwitz The problem arises even with $\breve{\breve{a}\breve{a}}$. I believe it's with all accents defined with \mathaccentV; the suggested workaround doesn't do anything. The "stacking accents" routine works when there is only one symbol in the argument of the outer accent.
I have a great question title going for free if anyone can think of a good question for it. (I thought I had the question, but then realised that things didn't work quite how I thought they did and the question didn't make sense. But the title's good, so if anyone can think of a question to fit it, feel free.) The title is: How do I swallow glue?
@egreg On your way to the Sportsmanship badge. It will be hard for you to get, given the authority of your answers. (As opposed to your generosity, which is ample.)
I'm writing an essay and I need to have superscript citations in either Chicago or MLA style. After a bit of searching (and a false start with natbib) this question seemed to indicate that Chicago with biblatex and biblatex-chicago would work. However I'll be darned if I can figured out the docu...
I'm wondering if my copy of chicago-notes.cbx has gotten damaged somehow?
TeXStudio has the annoying habit of opening the file when you click on the error, so it isn't inconceivable that I accidentally hit a key while it was open, though I wouldn't have hit save.
I once let my dad use my Mac. He stared at the screen and keyboard for 5 minutes without saying a word, just because he saw only one button in the trackpad.
