Keyboard Command to Switch MATLAB Windows in OSX Lion

I have a MacBook Air and I run MATLAB. I’ve been frustrated by the apparent lack of keyboard shortcut to switch between open MATLAB windows (like code, figures, and command window). In windows this would be equivalent to Alt + Tab.

Sadness no more: hit Cmd + ` (to the left of the 1 key) to cycle forward and Cmd + Shift + ` to cycle backwards. 

Hooray!

now let’s fire up our computers and smart phones, jump on our favorite niche theology blog or message board and demonstrate the same fearful, judgmental and uncharitable lives that we ourselves have been called to.  because remember, whatever you do, even acting like a total ass, you should do it with all your might, as unto the LORD.

So then if miracles want to have scientific standing, that is be recognized as genuine facts, they must sue for admittance at the port of entry to the mainland of scientific endeavor. And admission will be given as soon as they submit to the little process of generalization which deprives them of their uniqueness. Miracles must take out naturalization papers if they wish to vote in the republic of science and have any influence there.

Who am I?

A person created in the image of Christ … or maybe a very intelligent cat. Not sure.

what is underwater optical communication?Please give me the detailed idea about the same.what is on off keying and why is it required?

Underwater optical communication is a method of communicate data via an optical signal underwater. 

On-off keying is a baseband form of digital communication with 1 bit per symbol. The two symbols are a high and low values, which, respectively, communicate a bit ‘1’ and bit ‘0’. For optical signaling, this usually equates to turning off and on the optical source. It’s not required, but it’s convenient and usually has a lower average power than other forms of optical communication (like subcarrier intensity modulation)

Good overview of an exciting field. I hope to dive into this at my new job at 3 Phoenix Inc.

Sumatra and TeXnicCenter Inverse Search

What’s the difference between this command:

/ddecmd “[goto(’%f’,’%l’)]

and this one?

/ddecmd “[goto(‘%f’,’%l’)]

In practice, the latter allows you to do a proper inverse search (clicking on the PDF takes you to the relevant section of the LaTeX document for editing), while the former does not.

That little tick mark, , is wrong. It should be a single quote, . I don’t even know what it is, because it’s not a single backquote, `. It’s something entirely different that jumped into the command and frustrated me for many hours. 

Now you know. Not all quotes are the same.
