		<description>It is really very nice. When I use it, I meet some problem like this
Latex error: file &#039;head&#039;  not found.

When I comment \usetheme{confposter}, it can be compiled!

What is wrong?</description>

		<title>Comment on LaTeX CV Template by Guillaume</title>

		<description>Thanks a lot for this very useful template!

One question: I have been trying to insert a photo ID at the top right of the CV. To do so, I slightly rearranged the info so that everything relevant on the top right (namely phone number and email) appeared on the top left instead. Now, I would like to insert a picture. To do so, I used the wrapfigure environment. So the beginning of my document is:

\begin{document}
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{3cm}
	\includegraphics[scale=0.05]{Mypicture.png}
\end{wrapfigure}
\begin{tabular*}{7in}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
\textbf{\Large My Name}\\ 
Research Analyst\\
My Town, Ontario, Canada\\
Myemail\\
Myphonenumber\\
\end{tabular*}
\\

This is the only change I made; the rest is as in your template.

So my issue is that my picture is too low (i.e. it does not appear at the same level than &quot;My Name&quot;), and it messes up the categories below - thus, the subsections of &quot;Education,&quot; such as &quot;Why Electrons Spins Rule,&quot; are now completely on the left of the document instead of slightly on the right of the &quot;My University&quot; section. How could I insert my picture wihtout it messing up the whole thing?

Thanks a lot!</description>

		<title>Comment on My New Project: Conway&#8217;s Game of Life by Kjell Winblad</title>

		<description>Your project seems to be very nice and ambitious. I think your site will be the best Conway&#039;s Game of Life site when you get your applet to work. As it is now, it makes my firefox browser to crash and it doesn&#039;t work at all in Chrome.

I have started a similar project for similar reasons. At the time I started, I was looking at Google Web Toolkit (compiles Java code into JavaScript) and did some searched on Google for Game of Life and found that the top results where not so very impressing. I thought I could do something better with GWT with the additional benefit that no Java plug-in would be necessary.

The result can be found on:
http://www.conwaysgameoflife.net

I also plan to add a pattern archive and maybe possibility to save patterns. I would like to spend more time on it but to get that time is a problem for me. I will probably make it open source soon so other people can add futures to it.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing this wonderful and useful template!

I have one question: how can I justify the lines at both sides?? I am writing a couple of lines in one single item and LaTeX is not doing a good job.</description>

		<description>Studying linear algebra for my prelim&#039;s here at mac, I google Sylvester&#039;s Law of Inertia, and you are result number 2. (next only to wikipedia).. you&#039;re teaching me math even though i&#039;m over at mcmaster now :)</description>

		<title>Comment on 11630 is the First Uninteresting Number by Darrah Chavey</title>
		<link>http://www.nathanieljohnston.com/index.php/2009/06/11630-is-the-first-uninteresting-number/comment-page-1/#comment-1347</link>

		<description>Consider the sequence:
210, 230, 231, 250, 252, 253, 270, 273, 275, 276, 290, 294, 297, 299, ...
which consists of all numbers which can be written as the sum of 20 or more consecutive positive integers. Then this sequence includes all of your list of &quot;uninteresting numbers&quot; except for 13982 and 14163. The fact that this sequence contains so many otherwise uninteresting numbers seems to make it an interesting sequence! (I wonder if Sloane would agree?) In particular:
11630 = 572 + 573 + ... + 590 + 591
12067 = 538 + ... + 559
12407 = 308 + ... + 345
12887 = 239 + ... + 287
13258 = 460 + ... + 487
13794 = 402 + ... + 434
13882 = 294 + ... + 337
14018 = 305 + ... + 347

I think that a number being a sum of consecutive prime numbers is also interesting. So with your list of otherwise uninteresting numbers, we have:
12067 is the sum of all primes from 4019 up to 4027.
12407 is the sum of all primes from 113 up to 397.
13882 is the sum of all primes from 5 up to 397.
13882 is the sum of all primes from 2293 up to 2339.
13982 is the sum of all primes from 1117 up to 1213.
14018 is the sum of all primes from 3491 up to 3517.

(Also, 12887 = 112^2 + 7^3, which is kind of cool.)

So that leaves us with only 14163 from your list. I&#039;ll admit it, that number is just plain boring :-)

		<description>Yeah, #3 is more of a basic analysis question, I think. Also, as a nice side-benefit, perhaps more of them will go play Braid now!</description>
