How to confuse people with poorly thought out ideas.

So I'm looking to upgrade my phone and I see, "you're eligible for a free upgrade." however there's a $30 fee for this "free upgrade." Nonsense! After choosing my plan details for this new phone. (There were actually no changes in my plan from old phone to new phone.) The website tell me my new monthly total will be $48.99. NICE! I used to pay $80 a month. A pleasant chat associate comes online to assist however she is unable to explain this new $48.99 monthly total. She also confirms that this information is regularly confusing to Customers and assures me my regular monthly rate will still be $80. Today I get an email confirmation of my new phone which again includes this $48.99 new monthly total. Verizon! Get your head out from between your knees! You have poorly thought out information on your sales pages and confirmation emails. Your own employees agree and confirm your thoughtlessness. In addition, you have no clear and easy to find way to communicate with you via email. (Hmmm - seems intentional to me!) I will give credit where credit is due. The mobile phone services and signals you provide are excellent. Your website is not!

You are correct, it IS intentional. It is not only unclear and/or hard, Verizon DOES NOT even have email correspondence with CS. They discontinued this method of communication within the last year.

How to get people with gmail address to see stationery sent from a Thunderbird email

I got Thunderbird email so I could use stationery and I am LOVING it --- unlimited stationery for the rest of my life unless they take it out like Microsoft did with Windows. When I send emails with stationery from my Thunderbird email address to anyone with a Windows Live Mail address, the stationery comes through fine but if I send to someone with a gmail address, no stationery comes through at all. I have a gmail address myself and have been trying to figure it out. I can't find anywhere to click on the received email in gmail to show the stationery. Does anyone have any experience with this and know if it can be done?
Most of the people I know seem to have gmail addresses and I would like to use stationery when I email them but don't know how they can see it.
Thanks if anyone can help.

Me again... send me a mail to the gmail address in my profile here.

Why is Business Catalyst so poorly thought out?

It is not at all intuitive and overcomplicates what should be the simple process of setting up hosting for a site. And tonight, it doesn't work at all. Very disappointed.

Might be best to post this in the BC forum and talk with other BC users telling them specifically what issues you're having

ZFS on HW RAID with poor performance. Ideas?

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why my RAID performs so poorly using ZFS compared to even UFS. Any thoughts on the following would be helpful.
H/W Config:_
- SunFire v245 w/ 4GB RAM and LSI1064 mirrored 73GB SAS
- QLogic QLE2462
- Fibre Channel 4Gb Hardware RAID w/ 1GB ECC cache
- 16 x 1TB SATA II drives
- Configured 1 volume RAID-6
S/W Config:_
- Solaris 08/07 SPARC - 5.10 Generic_120011-14
- Latest 10_Recommended as of 1/08
- zpool create fileserv /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s6
- zfs set atime=off fileserv
Test Raw:_
To the "RAW" disk or volume I get descent numbers:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6 bs=1048576 count=16384
# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6 of=/dev/null bs=1048576 count=16384
Both c3t0d0 and c3t0d0s6 result in similar numbers:
5 x 16GB writes took 475.50 seconds, yielding an average of *172.28 MB/s*.
5 x 16GB reads took 384.68 seconds, yielding an average of *212.97 MB/s*.
Test ZFS:_
Creating and mounting ZFS to the same volume, I modified my scripts to use dd created files from /dev/null instead:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=./16G bs=16777216 count=4096
Then ran:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=./16G bs=1048576 count=16384
# dd if=./16G of=/dev/null bs=1048576
The result for ZFS on a 14.6TB volume is horrible:
5 x 16GB writes took 1013.28 seconds, yielding an average of *80.84 MB/s*.
5 x 16GB reads took 980.36 seconds, yielding an average of *83.56 MB/s*.
What would cause a delta difference of more than half my capable speed from the unit just by running ZFS? Thinking it might just be a dd issue, I ran iozone using the same parameters as "milek's blog" at http://milek.blogspot.com and got the same crappy results:
# iozone -ReM -b iozone-2G.wks -r 128k -s 2g -t 32 -F /test/*
(snippet:)
Output is in Kbytes/sec
Time Resolution = 0.000001 seconds.
Processor cache size set to 1024 Kbytes.
Processor cache line size set to 32 bytes.
File stride size set to 17 * record size.

Each process writes a 2097152 Kbyte file in 128 Kbyte records

I can understand that ZFS wants to have the entire "disk" as in a JBOD, but that's just not a viable option in my Corporate America world. Does presenting a RAID Controller handled LUN Vs. a JBOD presented matrix of drives really make this much of a difference? I'm just at a loss here as to why a unit that is capable of 4Gbit per channel is working as it should via raw, but runs like a single disk in performance as a ZFS filesystem.
I would appreciate some assistance in figuring this one out.
Thanks to all in advance.

Robert,
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, using RAID-Z or Z2 is not an option here as I'd rather rely on my hardware RAID over using software. While doing testing, I set my RAID to pass-thru mode and allowed ZFS to inherit the RAW drives from the RAID Chassis, set up a pool, and did my testing. In all cases, write performance was not much better overall, CPU utilization with compression on was ~30% higher, and my RAM utilization shot up under load. I just don't see that as an option on a heavily hit CVS server where IOPS and CPU/RAM are important for compilations and the like.
Things Hardware RAID gives me that ZFS can't do are:
Ease of use - changing failed drives for example is just different. It's a complicated filesystem once you get into it.
Pre-write buffer performance - This is ZFS's bottleneck afterall.
Fastest I/O - RAID Controllers handle more drives better than ZFS and IOPS are much faster under a H/W RAIDThere's a whole line of reasons why I choose not to use ZFS RAID-Z/Z2. Why else would Sun continue selling both H/W RAID and JBOD? I will check into the Intent Logging though, that's a good idea. I appreciate the link to solarisinternals, I had not thought about using their wiki for this.
Thanks again!

2 people with different taste of music, using ITunes on one computer.

How do two people with two different I-pod devices use ITunes on the same computer without seeing the other persons song library?
Story: Our house has one computer. Mom has a Nano and likes older people music; kid has I-pod Touch and likes young kids music. When I import my music CD's, the songs get mixed in with my kids music and auto sync puts all our music on both devices. ( I would like to Auto sync my device because I am not real good with computers and auto sync'ing would be easier; I think ). If I created 2 different Library files, how would I get the auto sync for my Nano to sync with my library?

Hi nanonewbee,
Better to create separate playlists and then (bite the bullet - this is a lot easier than trying to create a second library)....plug in one of the devices. Click on the device and when the "device Profile" screen appears:
- Click on the Music tab
- Check the "Sync Music" option
- Check the "Selected playlists, albums, artists, and genres button
A list of your Playlists will appear in the box below. Check only the playlist you want for that device.
Smart Playlists are easier because you can set them up to automatically put new music into the correct playlist. But they are a bit more involved than regular playlists.
For regular Playlists, just drag and drop the music you want in it from the library to the playlist on the sidebar.
Cheers,
GB

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

They were not there and MacKeeper made them up. Delete it completely. I have seen it cripple people's Macs.

How do I put a fillable form on our website so people can fill it out and send back to me

How do I put a fillable form on our website so people can fill it out and get it back to me.

Hi;
This is a bit of a broad question, let me try to understand your needs a little better.
Are you looking to use FormsCentral to either create your form or create the form and collect and manage the responses? Are you looking for a web/HTML form or a PDF?
FormsCentral allows you to create web/html forms that when they are submitted the data is sent to FormsCentral and in a Paid level subscription you can configure Email Notifications to email the results to you, they are also always available in FormsCentral to view and analyze. For the web/HTML form you can simply add a link to the form on your website, or the web/HTML form can also be "Embedded" into your web site (there is Embed code on the Distribute tab).
FormsCentral can also create a PDF form, the PDF can either send the responses to FormsCentral like the web form with the same options (Notifications etc), and can also be a PDF form without a "Submit" button where you can then add a Submit button of your own that would email the responses to you. This requires having Adobe Acrobat to edit the form and add your own Submit button.
If you do use PDF see this FAQ on PDF in the web - we do not recommend "embedding" the PDF into your web page, do not have the PDF open in the browser, the users should download the PDF and fill it out using the Free Adobe Reader: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142

How to deal with poorly designed code

Hello, everyone.
I have a problem with some program that I wrote starting my career as a programmer.
At first I studied a lot and wrote this program in java with poor design solutions in mind.
My code looked like procedural(I studied c before) object oriented freak.
And as a result even I could hardly modify my code. I had to spend hours
remembering what each function in class did.
And some time after that my boss asked me to write one new feature which actually changes
architecture a lot. Even if it was good object oriented code, it would take some time. But now
it takes a great amount of struggle and patience to rewrite my ugly code and implement this
new feature.
So I'm asking you developers out there: How do you deal with such situations when for example
someone wrote very bad piece of code and you have to change/modify it to support new requirements?

Yarrrr, because what's more fun than pouring effort into something to end up with the exact same functionality that you started with?
Finding new and better ways to do things is fun and you definitely improve your coding skills when you go back and pick apart the hack-n-slash stuff you've written before, but overall I don't think it's fun (unless you're truly doing it only for yourself, i.e. no obligations, no deadlines, etc).

Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

I used to drag and drop music loaded from CD's from the Recently Added folder to a Playlist on my iPods Classic. Can't see how to do this with new iTunes version. Probably need to sync somehow but when I checked on Sync it warned me it would wipe out my iPod contents. Don 't know why Apple makes something that used to be simple so difficult. Can't even figure out how to display both my library and iPod contents on same screen.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.
