Maybe a dumb question, about which power connectors to use, but....

This may sound like an incredibly dumb question, but here goes anyway....
I upgraded my system a few weeks ago, and will be slapping in a new ATI X850 Pro AGP card in a few days. My current graphics card is a p.o.s. Radeon 9550, so it doesn't have its own power connector or even a fan. My PSU is a dual-rail Antec model, and I'm wondering if it should matter any about how many or which devices I have connected to each power cable set. My psu came with cables to attach, only 2 of the 4 though are the 4-pin molex - the other 2 are pci-e power connectors I believe. Should it make a difference which or how many devices I connect to each cable? For ease of plugging in, I believe my DVDRW and CDRom are using 1 cable, and my ide drive and floppy are using the other cable. Also, I have a pci fan and a case fan running off 1 or the other. I'm likely to jump the power cable for the video card off the one the hard drive is using, unless someone has some suggestion to offer to the contrary.
If it makes a difference, can anyone recommend how they would have them connect?
My list of devices to plug in would be:
1)IDE HDD
2)Floppy
3)CDRom
4)DVDRW
5)Case Fan
6)PCI Fan
7)Video Card
Thanks for any thoughts! SAB - you seem to be the man on builds.....any ideas?

Well, I put the new card in and connected it on a cable with the optical drives. Also, I had unwittingly connected my cdrom on the same ide channel as my hdd , so I changed that so both optical drives are on the secondary ide.
So far, so good. 3dMark03 jumped up from 3300 with an overclocked Radeon 9550 to 10570 with the stock Radeon 850 Pro
I wish I could find some local source to purchase additional molex cords for my Antec SmartPower 2.0 psu, though - I've got 2 more 'outlets' just sitting there on the psu doing nothing, because the other cables are for pci-e, and I'm not using pci-e...... If I could buy some additional molex cables to plug in like the ones that came with it, I could have the vid card on its own cable....

This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them?

Should come updated from the Mac App Store. Obviously, it's tough to keep things up to date when they are sitting in a box on a store shelf.

Question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table is full.
If I configure layer 3 sticky and specify the inactivity timeout as below, how does the CSS
handle subsequent needed sticky requests ?
advanced-balance sticky-srcip
sticky-inact-timeout 30
CSS document says that
Note:
If you use the sticky-inact-timeout command to specify the inactivity timeout
period on a sticky connection, when the sticky table becomes full and none of
the entries have expired from the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent
needed sticky requests.
My question is what is the next reaction by doing the CSS if the CSS is in the
following condition:
when the sticky table becomes full and none of the entries have expired from
the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent needed sticky requests
Does CSS just rejects/drops subsequent needed sticky requests ?
or
Does CSS does not stick subsequence requests to particular service but CSS forward
subsequence requests with round-robin basis ? which means if the sticky table is full,
the CSS just works round-robin load balancing fashion for subsequence requests ?
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,

Hello,
There is a good document explaining this on Cisco web site
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a0080094b4b.shtml
It depends if the sticky-inact-timeout is used or not. If not, it's FIFO (the oldest entry in the sticky table is removed). If yes, the CSS will reject the next sticky request.

Basic questions about Notes domino connector

Hi,
I have a very basic question about the Lotus Domino connector for OIM. We have a requirement to provision accounts into the domino mail server and while doing that also update some information directly into a separate nsf file.
I checked the documentation and it seems while configuring an IT resource, we need to give the Mail DB path, and thats the only place where it refers to it.
Could you guys please let me know if this can be done? Can I write directly to a different nsf file, which is not like provisioning to the complete mail server. So the other attributes in the IT resource may not be able to be set up as its just the file I need to provision into.
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks, M

Hello folks, please share your experience working with the lotus notes connector.
Thanks, M

Maybe a simple question about M2T ?

Hi
I record in HDV on the JVC GY 101.
I store on the Focus Enhancements DR HD100 Hard disk recorder.
The footage I have is in HDV 25frames Progressive.
The hard disk stores as m2t file and I seem to need to use Mpeg streamclip to convert for Final Cut Pro HD.
I have a few questions about this.
1) What should i convert to with mpeg streamclip ? mov, dv m2v etc etc
2) What setting should I have on FCP with regards to screen size ? The converted clips are 1280x720. When I choose this setting on the sequence, I end up with small black bars left and right of the video on the canvas ???
3) I will also later have to add some digi beta footage which will be PAL, 720x576 Anamorphic.
4) What is the best resolution for me here ?
5) And will the quality of the original m2t file be downgraded by the mpeg streamclip ?
Thanks so much for your help
All the best
Simon

HDV isn't an "edit-friendly" format, meaning: HDV uses inter-frame compression, combined with a long group-of-pictures (GOP) of 15 frames (12 frames in PAL-equivalent). In intra-frame compression (as in DV, DVCPRO HD, etc.), each video frame is a complete image that stands alone. Inter-frame compression (which is also used in DVDs) uses only a limited number of complete image frames, the GOP determines that number. So, in HDV for example, with a GOP of 15 frames, 1 second of 30fps video contains only 2 complete frames, while the other 28 frames are determined by calculations used in conjunction with the Bi-directional ('B') and Predicted ('P') frames, which contain partial information on the changes in the video in between the 'I' frames which contain whole images. This process, of course, requires much more computer processing power than when editing DV, DVCPRO HD, Uncompressed, etc.
Editing video streams such as HDV (and XDCAM HD) is made difficult by the reduced number of I-frames. For example, if you make a cut in between the I-frames in the video clip, the computer has to then recalculate new I-frames that are placed at both sides of the cut. Converting on capture/after import to an intra-frame codec like DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422, or Uncompressed will reduce processing power and increase real-time performance, as well as give better performance when adding effects and performing compositing like chroma-keying.
A common rule of thumb in professional applications is to acquire in HDV, XDCAM HD, etc., but capture and edit in DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422, or even Uncompressed. Native HDV editing is not taboo by any means; it's just not as easy or robust -- especially with the LONG render times. Depending on what kind of work you do (and of course personal preference), you may not see much benefit by transcoding to another format.
Are you suggesting i have to convert each clip after capture?
Unless you have an HDV deck with HD-SDI and a capture card, you would have to convert each clip. Batch-conversion would be very useful for that.
Hope that helps.

Dumb question about cycling a battery. Sorry!

I just received by new mac book pro replacement battery today and I have some questions regarding it. First of all, my original battery lasted 2 yrs, 2 mos. I purchased another apple battery for my 15 inch mac book pro (computer originally purch. Aug. 2007). I've seen on these boards that I'm supposed to "cycle" the battery once a week to get the maximum life out of it. I think a cycle means using the battery until it's power is used up and then charge up to 100% again. Is that right? Anyway, my question is, "What is the proper care for this new battery? Does it damage it to have it plugged in when it is fully charged? Or should I always keep it unplugged and use the battery until it runs out and then charge it again? And what does it mean to cycle it once a week, if I'm already using the battery and recharging it when needed?" Sorry if these are dumb questions. I'm not really computer savvy! Thanks.

You should use the battery for a while every day but not drain it right down, before re-connecting the power and re-charging it to 95%+ this is not a complete cycle but partial/normal cycling.
_Every couple of months_ you should re-calibrate the battery which means you keep using it until it goes into emergency sleep itself (you will see a warning then 5 minutes later it will go off by itself) and then _leave it in this state for at least 5 hours_ before you re-connect the power supply and fully charge it (without unplugging) - this is a proper re-calibration.

A dumb question about wifi...

I'm not as 'literate' as some are when it comes to computer technology...but here is the question...If I walk into a place that has wifi and my iphone is set with wifi ON, how will I know if there is a charge for using the wifi? Will my iphone automatically kick into the wifi or will there appear an invitation to pay a fee to connect...and how do you pay and do you have to have a password and if so, how do you get that? I know....dumb question...Thanks.

Not a dumb question at all.
First of all, set your iPhone up like this:
1) Go to Settings on the main screen (looks like gears)
2) Click on "Wi-Fi" (second option from the top)
3) At the bottom of this page (Which should say "Wi-Fi Networks" at the top) turn "Ask to Join Networks" to the "ON" position.
Now when you walk into a place that has Wi-Fi, your iPhone will display a little window that asks you whether you want to join the network or not.
In some places, you may even see a list of more than one Wi-Fi network to join. This is quite common in New York City. The reason is because so many people have Wi-Fi in there apartments, and they all live so close together, that sometime your iPhone can detect multiple networks. The coffee shop near my apartment has their own network, but I can also connect to the Wi-Fi network in my apartment because I only live about 50 feet away.
Anyway, when you see the list of Networks to join, you may notice a little padlock symbol next to some of them. This means these are closed networks that require a password to connect to. (My network is "Closed", ie requires a password so that everyone in the coffee shop next door doesn't use my internet).
Networks that DO NOT have the little lock symbol are "Open" which means you can join them without a password. But there is a catch... A lot of coffee shops have open networks, but as soon as you try to browse the web, they redirect your browser to their own page, no matter what web address you enter. Basically, they are letting you connect to their network without a password, but not letting you browse the internet without giving them some money.
So (as the previous poster said) the page that the coffee shops redirects you to, usually has instructions, and of course a place to put in a credit card. Once you do all that, then you can browse the internet without getting redirected to their little payment page. Its sort of confusing because you don't need a password to connect to their "open" network, but you do need one to browse any web pages. How you get the password differs from coffee shop to coffee shop, but usually they give it to you right inside your web browser once you give them your credit card number.
T-Mobile provides wireless for Starbucks (at least in a lot of places they do). So once you have an account with t-mobile, you can use it in any starbucks or "T-mobile hotspot"
Now this all sounds kind of complicated, but more and more these days, you can just walk into a place, find an open network (one without a lock next to it) and start browsing without being redirected or dealing with credit cards. Basically these places are providing free internet to try to attract customers.
Good luck
P.S. Wi-Fi eats up battery life. If you aren't going to be using it to browse web pages, you can go into settings, then Wi-Fi, and turn Wi-Fi off. This will save you battery life, but you have to remember to turn it back on. Even without Wi-Fi on, you can still browse the internet if you see a little "E" at the top of your screen. The E stands for the AT&Ts Edge network, which isn't as fast as Wi-Fi, but covers pretty much everywhere that your phone can get a signal.

Dumb Question about multiple BSSIDs

This is probably a dumb question, but enquiring minds want to know...
When using Yosemite's built-in Wireless Diagnostics scan I see many unique WiFi BSSIDs (MAC addresses) associated with my Time Capsule: 5 for my Guest Network and 6 for my "main" network. I see that not all have the same 802.11 protocol, but not all have unique 802.11 protocols. Also I see my "main" network is the 802.11ac network.
So my questions are:
- Why are there so many different BSSIDs and how should I interpret them?
- Which of these BSSIDs are "relevant" that I should pay attention to?
Thanks,
Kevin

Why are there so many different BSSIDs and how should I interpret them?
The 5 GHz band on the main network is one unique BSSID
The 2.4 GHz band on the main network is one unique BSSID
If you have the Guest Network setup......
The 5 GHz band on the guest network is one unique BSSID
The 2.4 GHz band on the guest network is one unique BSSID
If you have multiple AirPort routers, repeat the information above for each router.
Which of these BSSIDs are "relevant" that I should pay attention to?
Personally, I pay no attention to this, but some users place great importance on this.
The BSSID tells you which AirPort.....if you have multiple AirPorts....and which band....2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.....that you are connected to at the current time....as well as whether you are connected to the "main" network, or the "guest" network.....if you have enabled the guest function.

Question about 'Generic Database Connector'

Hi SAP IdM Gurus,
I found 'Generic Database Connector' in the list of SAP NW IdM connectors overview.
I'd like to check the capability of this connector in detail.
I'm wondering whether it could provide not only a connectivity of RDBMS, but also custom-developed application using the RDBSM for their ID/Password repository. If it provides only a connectivity of RDBMS, Is there a connector for the custom-developed application using the RDBSM for their ID/Password repository?
My question is that which connector is used for the connectivity of custom-developed application using the RDBSM for their ID/Password repository.
I would really appreciate it if you could answer the question.
Thanks
Kenneth

Kenneth,
The Generic Database connector uses a JDBC connection and allows for the and writing to databases.
That being said, you can also use this connection to set up access to the system or drop access using SQL commands and set them up per the framework.
What specific Database are you working with?

I changed a password to an online account and I got a question about which account

Hi There, someone seems to have gotten into my personal information somehow and I'm trying to figure out to what extent.
I have changed passwords on everything from iTunes and email accounts and I was just going through online accounts. I was resetting my password on Acklands grander and I was posed with a question:
"For Which Account"
- [email protected]
- Madness
The myemail account is my account. What is this message about "Madness"?
The browser I was using is Firefox and I certainly have never used that name in any way.
Is this a hidden account on my computer, firefox, or the Acklands Granger Website?
I could find no other evidence of this acccount anywhere I looked apart from that message.
Help!
Alex

hello alex, this is certainly no hidden account by firefox but other than that i'm afraid we at the support for mozilla's firefox browser won't be able to help you any further with this question. please contact the webiste where you've tried to reset your password to inquire more about the account they have displayed during the procedure.
<br>thank you for your understanding!

Z68a-GD80 (G3) which power connectors?

The board comes with an 8-pin power socket, with a 4 pin blanking plate on it. There is also a 6-pin socket which I think should only be for multiple GPUs.
My Coolermaster modular PSU has one 8-pin and one 4-pin power cable in the same bundle as the 24-pin cable.
I will be installing one of your 6970 Lightning graphics cards and an i2500k CPU.
So...
I assume I remove the blanking plate and use the 8-pin power cable, but do I need to use the 6-pin with just this GPU? If so, is the 4-pin cable any use, or do I need to use all 6-pins and hence a molex to 6-pin?
thanks
Blonkster

Quote from: HU16E on 16-September-11, 09:37:28
Remove the plastic cover & use your PSU's 8-pin EPS/ATX power connector. The 4-pin is of no use. The mainboard 6-pin connector is for a PSU PCI-E power connector, or a dual Molex adapter to PCI-E 6-pin. If you have a PCI-E PSU cable left over after the connections to the VGA, may as well power the mainboards PCI-E 6-pin too.
Thanks, I don't have a spare 6-pin cable, so I assume I don't need to obtain one for the single graphics card - it has two 8-pin connectors of its own!

Dumb question about browser dectection

I have a web application that looks awesome in IE but in Firefox it looks clunky and blocky. What I need to perform is a validation to see what browser the client is using. I have done this before on simple html pages javascript browser sniffing. Well it seems that I can't for the life of me to be able to get this working in Creator.
My web project is a Sun Creator Web application. My OS is Windows
Does anyone have any idea or references that you could supply to me?
The following code works in an html environment but in a jsp I cant get the different style sheets to work.
document.write("<link id="link1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/WebDemoExtractor/resources/introductionFireFox.css" /> ");
U jave tried many variations of the following
document.write("<ui:link binding='#{introduction.link2}' id='link2' url='/resources/introductionFireFox.css'/>")
I have tried performing many variations with the the above and I have had no success.
Is it even possible to perform this function??
Thank you

I think you mean how is it possible to view YouTube videos in Safari on iPad, right?
Basically, YouTube senses the browser you're using. Because Safari on iPad doesn't support Flash, YouTube delivers the movie in a format the iPad can play (like H.264, as a previous post mentioned). This happens with YouTube videos embedded on other web sites, too.
I hope this helps.
I was in an Apple Store a few days ago, and a teenage kid really wanted an iPad. His dad said, "but it doesn't play flash, so you won't get to see YouTube videos that you love." Kid said, something expletive deleted.
The son then picked up the iPad, and he clicked on the YouTube icon. Walked out of the store with it. Sales guy and I laughed. Made my day.

Dumb question about user_sdo_geom_metadata DIMINFO entries

I'm sure that this is a dumb question!
I create a new entry in user_sdo_geom_metadata as follows...
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
VALUES ( 'PR_A', 'GEOM',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X',190000.0,640000.0, 0.05),
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y',120000.0,680000.0, 0.05)
NULL );
But when I select the DIMINFO from the table...
SQL> select diminfo from user_sdo_geom_metadata a where table_name = 'PR_A';
DIMINFO(SDO_DIMNAME, SDO_LB, SDO_UB, SDO_TOLERANCE)
SDO_DIM_ARRAY(SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 190000, 640000, 0), SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 1200
00, 680000, 0))
The sdo_dim_element and sdo_tolerance
elements show no decimal places.
Is this because I have not set some
display number format option in SQLPLUS
or for some other reason?
regards
Simon

Simon,
If you are using an old sqlplus client
(815) then you won't be able to see the decimal places in the diminfo object.
But if you hace a newer (816/817) sqlplus
client you should be able to see the decimal places.
If you are not seeing them in these clients
then there might be some format paramter set
to show numbers without decimals.
You can do a
show numformat
in sqlplus to see if there is any format set for that paramter.

Qosmio notebook question about mains power supply

HELLO GUYS
I just wanted to know if a buy a Qosmio from the America or other countries in europe will they play on UK mains power supply. I saw one on ebay that said it had an auto sensing power supply which will work anywhere. But i wasn't sure if i should believe this.
Thanks in advance

hi Navdeep,
Most modern AC adapters work on a voltage range of 100-240 volts so they can be used virtually world wide. This obviously saves the cost of producing specific adapters for different countries or regions.
Just check the specifications for the Qosmio in the country where you plan to purchase it.

Which power cord to use for sata hd?

Hello!
I have a question :
Which powerconnector to use on a sata hd, the sata power connector or the legacy ata connector? Is there any diff between them two?

Hello Danny, I was wondering if you could tell me if I should be aware of not having my SATA connectors warrantied if I have all Western Digital HDs? (trying to avoid asking you to get into a "which manufacturer is better" kinda thing.)
