@Speravir 3 distro is good enough for 3 os. simple is superb. i made texlive installer and minor changes. please feel free to change/rollback. thanks for improving it.
@texenthusiast Actually I think W32TeX is used mostly in Japan, if ever there. At least it has some specials for Japanese, and does not seem to intend in providing a full installation. But I really do not know it.
@texenthusiast Yes, proTeXt contains a full MiKTeX (and Ghostscript and TeXstudio), but not on recent update state. I added it, because becko as the OP wrote he/she decided to use this.
@Speravir forgot to ask , Downloading via MiKTeX installer into separate directory and downloading from tm/packages , what is the difference ? bandwidth savings ?
@texenthusiast Do you mean my edit of what you’ve written? You can not install with the net installer from another installed MiKTeX. You need a repository, eitther in net or a local copy.
@Speravir No, Using the net installer there is an option to download without installation, with this we get the tm/packages/ in MiKTeX setup 2.9 folder. After this we can copy MiKTeX setup 2.9 folder(with all .lzma and .cab files ) to USB drive/DVD locate this folder and tell the setup exe to install from miktex folder.
@Speravir yes you are right experimental miktex for linux was removed in new site
@texenthusiast (I removed my message too early.) You can get it for MiKTeX 2.8, maybe just for some days, because this is marked as end of life at the end of this month: miktex.org/2.8/setup
@Speravir any commandline tools rsync wget will need some sample arguments otherwise newbies knows only double clicks
@Speravir I have written Download without Installation steps procedure without rsync and wget. to safely select the nearest mirror . May you can use them to build for tomorrow.
@Speravir it's ocean there. step by step gui method is good. may be we can commandline approach as well with arguments.
@Speravir i had a windows near by although i work mostly on linux. I tested the step by step procedure(Download without installation) written previously using net installer on my windows. Hence i have written them.
Is there a question about the usage of the \box<numbers> In some answeres you can find commands like \box0, \box1, ... \box255. I know that some numbers are used for internals. Is there a question/answer which explains this?
@DavidCarlisle That's not fair, the search only shows 12 pages of my images. I wanted to show my videogame setup, so you could also spot Sony and Nintendo as well. :)
@ℝaphink It's an improved rewrite of the LaTeX3 testing suite, with the idea being to avoid needing any external tools (currently Perl and diff/fc) and with some proper documentation. We can then make it available as a stand-alone 'product' for other (La)TeX coders to use.
The current test suite goes back to before the release of 2e
Testing is very important for the LaTeX3 approach, as we need our programming layer to work reliably
@ℝaphink The one we have already works, but it's not that smooth, at least not for application to other projects: no documentation, and reliant on our build scripts

You're right to ask about this, the current code is not very convenient to use (although it's proved surprisingly useful to me in the past nonetheless).
Your approach is very attractive in how much simpler the code is. However, when I first wrote the box plot stuff, I decided to go with several ...
this probably saved me hours of work trying to format things in excel/gnuplot and then copy them into my thesis
now I just need to figure out how to add a single data point on that plot and BAM hours saved (be nice if I made the axis work more easily, but I'm find with labeling each of the many box plots :)
@TeXperts An unregistereduser edited this answer tex.stackexchange.com/a/10401/9237, what made my comment partially obsolete. But when changing the original code, why not doing \let\origUrlBreaks\UrlBreaks\renewcommand*\UrlBreaks{\origUrlBreaks<further definitions>}?
It's simple. I have a list like {0,1,54,1,3} as input argument to a command in making. How can I obtain the length of this list? Something like
\length(#1)
where #1 is the list.
@enderland er well pass the right thing in as arguments to the command:-) (but code formatting in chat is rubbish you might be better to ask a question on site)
@PauloCereda the third usage made popular by wacky bibtex parsing but back when bibtex was designed for tex2 it wasn't an issue as all accents were constructed with the \accent primitive so there was never any kerning between an accented letter and anything else.
@DavidCarlisle yes, the only thing is I need to have either {0} or {0,1} depending on whether there are two numbers in the list (whatever terminology I need to use, I am not sure) :\
@egreg How about converting your comment to Using lmodern as default teletype font int an answer? Other wise we should close it as too localized, as @Kurt already suggested.
@enderland well that's why you should always post complete documents that actually show the problem at hand. if you have a list in #1 and want to know how long it is you could use the length code as in the question I pointed to originally and then do something based on that. Or if it is only length 1 or 2 use a 2 argument from {test1}{test2} rather than comma and just test if #2 is empty
@percusse but I want to change the xtick for 1 arg to be different than for 2 args - I guess I can make this work though by naming two axis types.... except it only wants to use 1character for lable
@enderland Indeed, you can define two styles. Or if you are really in need of auto checking make up a small MWE and we will use /.code keys instead of /.style settings which might be confusing if you are not into it.
like, this \pgfplotsset{mysingleaxis/.style 2 args={xtick={0}, xmin=-1, xmax =1, xticklabels={{#1}}, box plot width=5mm}} only gives me the first character when used for some reason
where there are OTHER things different dependent on the number of parameters (not just xticklables) - xmax, and xtick are different depending on whether there is 1 arg or not
@enderland Remember the first time you used Excel to plot. You'll get the hang of it in no time. Fire away questions it's fun for us to get confused too.
@enderland To be honest Excel is the only MS product that I liked but it's been years since I've used it. Recently I tried and I can't find anything in that fancy menu style.
@percusse I am VERY good with excel and vba - I saved someone about 1 hour a week for the rest of his tiem in his current job by writing a custom function for him...

Straight forward question:
\newcommand{\optaxis}[1][]{
\ifemptyarg{#1}
{\begin{axis} [xtick={0}, xmin=-1, xmax =1, xticklabels={#2}, box plot width=5mm]}
{\begin{axis} [xtick={0,1}, xmin=-1, xmax =2, xticklabels={{#1},{#2}}, box plot width=5mm]}%
}
How can I get the part...
