comment How to write a footnnote attached to the author in a LaTeX paper?
If you use \thanks for email addresses and want to reuse a domain e.g. {foo,bar,me}@some-domain.edu see at the answer from @Habi.

@Suresh: Why? One could simply recall as often as I want to, or am I wrong?

Nope, but VIM does handle e.g. dtx files out of the box with correct syntax highlighting.

@mhelvens, yes EMacs is proposed above and yes latexsuite is very useful for writing latex code.

comment What's the maximum number of pages a PDF produced by pdfTeX can have?
Hmm, with pdflatex, TeX capacity seems to last some longer, and I get further to 2.632.407 pages. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95783/….

comment Add a rule underneath “Figure 1”
I don't want to be picky, but your solution has an additional package dependency compared to egreg and I personally feel the code is less readable as well. But please, this is highly subjective. Also I compiled your snippet and the screenshot here at tex.sx looks a bit worse as my generated output. Ahh I got it. Tex.sx resized it, hence it looks a bit blurry. Maybe adding a bit space to the seperator and changing the color (very minor trivial easy things to do) will be more attracting. Last but not least I think the line is indeed more an separator than a format.

Now I wonder, why I just said something at all :), as I agree with you! Your solution lacks some features (esp. compared to egreg's solution) but I don't think all of them do not do any harm (I can think of) so downvoting is not appropriate.

I am not the downvoter, but I think the first line is a little too close to the rule.

comment How to locally use an old package (e.g. biblatex) with TexLive?
Yes, and the better solution is answered here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/85457/…, but anyway I asked myself from time to time what do I do if I must use an old package without tainting my texlive install.
