I've recently moved from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS (64-bit). With the new version, Chrome isn't provided by default (there must be a solid reason for that). Though, Chrome gave better performance than Firefox in 12.04, and also some of extensions/add-ons worked better than in Firefox. I'm very much tempted to install Chrome.
But before that, I want to know if its not a bad idea!
Thanks.

    There are Google Chrome and Chromium (the FOSS version which lacks some proprietary modifications and plug-ins). Chromium is still in the archive, and you can install it from the software center easily. Google Chrome is proprietary and you need to get it from Google, and always needed to.

2 2 I have a Zotero bibliography in Overleaf. I use biblatex . usepackage[backend=biber,citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex} addbibresource{zoteroALH.bib} Bibliography entries look like: @book{de_saint-gervais_uniformization_2016, title = {Uniformization of {Riemann} {Surfaces}}, isbn = {978-3-03719-145-3}, url = {https://www.ems-ph.org/books/book.php?proj_nr=198&srch=series%7Chem}, urldate = {2019-02-03}, author = {de Saint-Gervais, Paul Henri}, year = {2016}, doi = {10.4171/145} } In the bibliography down the paper the reference shows like this: There is the DOI, great, but also the URL which is unnecessary when the DOI is there.

ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

Image
2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce . My SQL looks like this: SELECT PersNbr, PersFirstName, PersMiddleName, PersLastName FROM Pers WHERE PersNbr = :persNbr; I'm saving this query in a DataTable so each column selected has it's own column in the Datatable . I want to make the .DisplayMember a combination of PersFirstName + PersMiddleName + PersLastName so their full name appears like this: comboBox.DisplayMemeber = "PersFirstName" + "PersMiddleName" + "PersLastName" I know I can just to this on the query: SELECT PersNbr, (PersFirstName || PersMiddleName || PersLastName) PersName and then just do this: comboBox.DisplayMember = "PersName"; but I

Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

Image
2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
