Need help restricting internet usage for a minecraft server.
I have a WRT54G routher hardlined to a Ubuntu 12.04 server that is dedicated to minecraft.
I have two ports opened for Minecraft to run off of.
I'de like to give remote access to the computer to other people to help me maintain the server.
BUT I need to restrict ANY and ALL ability for them to access the internet by either blocking all other ports or something else. Id rather not have to restrict it through Ubuntu if I don't have to.
I'm a noob when it comes to figuring this out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pat
Let me verify a couple of things. You want to have your computer remotely accessed by others to help you maintain your server, right? You also want to restrict internet access to these, correct? They won't be necessarily running off of your connection. Remote access requires for them to have internet access to begin with. If your remote desktop setup is configured and working, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

What are the requirements to restrict internet usage for my users?
Am I requested to install a 3rd party software in order to restrict my users going to internet? Is there a software that comes with Mac OS X server that gives me this facility?
Basically I just want to restrict my users for certain hours during the day, these permissions should be applied on user bases or groups.
Thanks in advance.Any suggestions or recommendations?
Is Squid my only way to go or there are other applications you recommend? -
Need help installing internet drivers for OS Lion
Howdy all! My question is in regards to the download and installation of internet drivers for a 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion. The wi-fi airport works and recognizes available networks, but I am unable to connect to the internet.
Are there any particular sites you might recommend to download internet drivers for this model and OS?
Thank you for your time!acolverson1,
are you also unable to connect to the internet by trying your MacBook Pro at a different site, say, somewhere that offers free wi-fi? Do you have access to a different computer, to see if that different computer would be able to connect to the internet by using the wi-fi that you have at home? It sounds as though you haven’t yet determined where the cause lies yet, whether it’s with your MacBook Pro, your router, or your internet service provider. -
Need help in developing BADI for IT0001
Hi All,
I need help in developing BADI for IT0001.
On IT0001 create or change, there is need to update IT0017 with following data from IT0001
-Company Code
-Cost center
-Business Area
-Begin and End Date.
Other fields from IT0017 need to be derived from Position and update in IT0017.
Please guide me how I can address this. I do not want to go for dynamic action, as it is not getting evoked during background jobs.
I am new to BADI development and will appreciate step by step instructions.
ThanksHi,
follow the below steps to achive
Steps:
1. Execute Business Add-In(BADI) transaction SE18
2. Enter BADI name i.e. HRPAD00INFTY and press the display
button
3. Select menu option Implementation->Create
4. Give implementation a name such as Z_HRPAD00INFTY
5. You can now make any changes you require to the BADI within this
implementation, for example choose the Interface tab there are 3 methods avialble
6. Double click on the method you want to change, you can now enter
any code you require.
7. Please note to find out what import and export parameters a
method has got return the original BADI definition
(i.e. HRPAD00INFTY) and double click on the method name
for example within HRPAD00INFTY contract is a method
8. When changes have been made activate the implementation

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...
Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name. -

Need help choosing optimal hardware for a laptop that will run AE CS5
BACKGROUND INFO (Questions listed below)
I need some help figuring out the best hardware configuration for a new laptop. I’m a student at a design school and I will be using the laptop to mainly run After Effects and to a lesser extent Photoshop and Illustrator. I don’t need to worry about 3D rendering software or Premier Pro. I am primarily interested in getting the best performance during editing. I am not looking for the best performance for final output. I would prefer to sacrifice final output times for better editing/interface performance.
I will be working with standard definition content and perhaps HD up to 720p on occasion. I do not need to operate in resolutions higher than 720p. My projects are generally animation and use many sources and many layers.
I’ve been reading up on optimal hardware configurations for CS5 but my understanding is still a little foggy and I would like to use this thread to figure out how to build the best machine for my budget. The budget is about $1400 to $1600 CANADIAN after tax.
I DON’T need help finding the laptop. I will search for it on my own. I just need to understand the best hardware to purchase within my budget.
I realize that it is probably impossible to buy the laptop I want with the hardware configuration I need “off the shelf”. Instead I will be looking for a good base model (~$900-$1100) and I will purchase the necessary hardware upgrades separately. I will not be purchasing a Mac.
Right now I’m thinking of a machine built something like this:
- 15”-16” screen (17” models are too big/heavy)
- Mid to high end i5 processor OR entry level i7 quad core
- 8GB RAM (I would go to 12GB, but it’s hard to find a 15”-16” laptop with 3 memory slots)
- SSD to replace HDD (However, if possible, I would like a laptop with dual HDD support or swap the optical drive for another HDD. If I had access to 2 drives, I would have and HDD/SSD combo).
- Medium/high end NVIDIA GPU to take advantage of OpenGL while editing.
QUESTIONS
1) Does the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” option enhance general editing performance (applying filters, scrubbing through the timeline, reverting history states)? Or does it ONLY help speed up RAM previews and final output? Does it reduce the length of RAM previews?
1b) Is this option even necessary to enable on 64bit systems? (As far as I understand it was used to solve a problem where 32bit systems/software would only recognize 4GB of RAM per instance of AE).
1c) If I turn this option on to help with RAM previews, would I be hindering general editing performance in any way? Or does this option have basically zero drawbacks?
2) How come “Actual CPUs that will be used” will read 0 even if the sum total of RAM assigned to the CPUs plus the RAM reserved for other applications is less than the total available system RAM (on a 64bit system)? For example, I currently have 4GB RAM and 2 installed CPUs. I have 1.5GB reserved for other programs and when I set 0.75GB per CPU both CPUs are used. However when I set 1GB per CPU then 0 CPUs are used, even though the total RAM adds up to only 3.5GB.
CPU
3.) Considering the fact that I am more concerned with smooth performance while editing rather than final output speeds, would it be better to get a dual core i5 clocked around 2.5 or a quad core i7 clocked around 1.8?
4.) What is the difference between an i3 and an i5 processor even if they are clocked at the same speed? How does an i5 460M compare on the grand scheme of things?
RAM
6.) Should the quantity of RAM that I get (8GB vs 12GB) be based on the number of cores in my CPU? If so, how should I be calculating optimal RAM based on # of cores. Should I also be counting threads, or just actual physical cores?
STORAGE/SWAP
7.) Should I replace the HDD with an SSD? I'm looking for snappy interface performance while editing. I would think that if the RAM fills up it would be best to have the SSD for scratch/cache.
8.) What performance benchmarks are most important when considering an SSD for After Effects? (4k writes? IOs per second? Max read/write?)
9.) I can afford the OCZ Vertex2 120GB SSD. Would this be a good choice if an SSD is recommended?
10.) Would it be better to have 8GB of RAM and an SSD, or 12GB of RAM and an HDD? Explain why.
GPU
10.) After Effects utilizes OpenGL to enhance editing performance. I will not really be using Premier Pro, so catering to the CUDA Mercury Engine is not a concern. Do high end gaming cards provide significant gains in OpenGL performance? Or do OpenGL performance gains taper off around the mid-range GPUs? (i.e. can you justify buying a high end GTX 260M graphics card for enhanced editing performance versus an "entry level" dedicated card like the 310M?)
11.) What hardware specs are most important when considering a GPU for editing performance in AE? (Memory size? # of Pixel shaders? Core speed? Shader speed?)
Thanks so much for any answers you can offer to these questions.Please make sure that you've read through this page and what it points to.
> 1) Does the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” option
enhance general editing performance (applying filters, scrubbing through
the timeline, reverting history states)? Or does it ONLY help speed up
RAM previews and final output? Does it reduce the length of RAM
previews?
It only increases rendering speed for RAM previews and rendering for final output. In After Effects CS5, it doesn't decrease the length of RAM previews. (In CS4, it does.)
1b) Is this option even necessary to enable on 64bit
systems? (As far as I understand it was used to solve a problem where
32bit systems/software would only recognize 4GB of RAM per instance of
AE).
You misunderstood. Yes, it's still relevant on 64-bit computers. Moreso, in a way. (I'd rather not spend my entire Sunday writing out detailed answers to satisfy idle curiosity, so I'm not going to give all the technical detail to that answer.)
> 1c) If I turn this option on to help with RAM previews,
would I be hindering general editing performance in any way? Or does
this option have basically zero drawbacks?
It takes a small but nonzero time for the background processes to start up when they need to be used and shut down when they're done. And as they sit waiting, they take up a little bit of memory. So, it's not exactly correct to say that there are no downsides to leaving it on. But it's close. I leave it on.
> 2) How come “Actual CPUs that will be used” will read 0 even
if the sum total of RAM assigned to the CPUs plus the RAM reserved for
other applications is less than the total available system RAM (on a
64bit system)? For example, I currently have 4GB RAM and 2 installed
CPUs. I have 1.5GB reserved for other programs and when I set 0.75GB per
CPU both CPUs are used. However when I set 1GB per CPU then 0 CPUs are
used, even though the total RAM adds up to only 3.5GB.
4GB - 1.5GB for other software leaves 2.5 GB for After Effects.
If you have 1GB assigned per background CPU, then the foreground takes 1.2x that = 1.2GB. That leaves 1.3GB for background processes, which is enough for one background process. There's no point in starting only one background process to do rendering, so it doesn't bother. (Note: When background processes are rendering, the foreground process isn't rendering.)
> 3.) Considering the fact that I am more concerned with
smooth performance while editing rather than final output speeds, would
it be better to get a dual core i5 clocked around 2.5 or a quad core i7
clocked around 1.8?
Get the quad-core. That gives you a greater total number of cycles. And After Effects works very well with mutliple processors, even beyond Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing. An entirely unrelated sort of multiprocessing (multithreading) spreads work out to multiple processors.
> 6.) Should the quantity of RAM that I get (8GB vs 12GB) be based on the number of cores in my CPU? If
so, how should I be calculating optimal RAM based on # of cores. Should
I also be counting threads, or just actual physical cores?
The optimum amount is the amount that you can cram into the computer. I'm not kidding. Spend your budget on RAM until you have 4GB installed per processor (and I'm counting the virtual processors due to hyperthreading). If you have a quad-core, that's 8 CPUs with hyperthreading, so the optimum amount of RAM installed is 32GB. You can work with less, but you did ask about optimum. For HD work (i.e., 1920 pixels across), you're OK with more like 3GB installed per CPU. That's what I have at home: 24GB in a quad-core. You're going to assign 2/3 or so of the RAM to After Effects, so 3GB installed per CPU is 2GB per core for HD work in After Effects.
> 10.) Would it be better to have 8GB of RAM and an SSD, or 12GB of RAM and an HDD? Explain why.
12GB of RAM. Because After Effects likes RAM. (If you're thinking of deliberatly using virtual memory to swap memory to the hard disk, don't. That's a performance killer.)
> 10.) After Effects utilizes OpenGL to enhance editing performance.
Not really. If you're on a limited budget, don't even think about the GPU until you've already got the most RAM, the fastest CPUs, the largest number of CPUs, two fast hard disks, and a couple of good monitors. Then, and only then, should you even consider getting soemthing beyond a non-stock graphics card. Yes, OpenGL can be used to accelerate some things, but that's only for the low-fidelity preview renderer. (Pardon the bluntness, but I want to make sure that you heed this.) -
Need help me in usage of below given functions when MOAC set
Hi,
Can somebody help me in answering for the below questions?
In R12, I set MO:Security profile at responsibility level and the profile has three OUs. Please see the below code.
declare
v_orgid1 NUMBER;
v_orgid2 NUMBER;
v_orgid3 NUMBER;
v_orgid4 NUMBER;
v_orgid5 NUMBER;
l_count NUMBER;
l_ou_cnt NUMBER;
v_user_id varchar2(100);
v_resp_id varchar2(100);
v_resp_appl_id varchar2(100);
begin
l_ou_cnt := mo_global.get_ou_count;
fnd_profile.get('USER_ID', v_user_id);
fnd_profile.get('RESP_ID', v_resp_id);
fnd_profile.get('RESP_APPL_ID', v_resp_appl_id);
fnd_global.apps_initialize(v_user_id, v_resp_id, v_resp_appl_id);
MO_GLOBAL.INIT('PO');
mo_global.set_policy_context('M',NULL);
v_orgid1 := mo_global.get_current_org_id;
FND_PROFILE.GET('ORG_ID', v_orgid2);
v_orgid3 := FND_GLOBAL.ORG_ID;
v_orgid4 := FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID');
v_orgid5 := po_moac_utils_pvt.get_current_org_id;
SELECT count(1)
into l_count
FROM PO_HEADERS
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM mo_glob_org_access_tmp oa WHERE oa.organization_id = org_id);
end;
Qns:
1. FND_GLOBAL.ORG_IDFND_PROFILE.GET, FND_PROFILE.VALUE, PO_MOAC_UTILS_PVT, MO_GLOBAL functions are not returning org_id when mo security profile is initialized. the functions are returing -1 or NULL some times. Is there any specific function in R12 to return ORG_ID, if same functions when to use?(the functions are working fine when mo global is intialized for single org)
2. Irrespctive to where clause, the select statment is returning count of records for all mo security profile enabled orgs. Then why should not I get the records directly from ALL tables by using same where clause? Is there any specific reason in using Synoniams (poheaders, ....like)?
3. Can somebody explain usage of mo_global.get_current_org_id, po_moac_utils_pvt.get_current_org_id? If getting only for org_id in which case should i use both?
Appreciate your help !!!
ThanksDo have the answers for the questions? If so can you post those?
Thank you! -
Need help in dynamic report for a range of year and period
Dear all,
I need help in creating an ALV report with dynamic columns based on the Year and period entered on the selection screen. for example if in the year we enter 2002 and period range from 10 to 12 then we should get the 3 columns display for cost(example) for period 10/2002, 11/2002 and 12/2002.
Can anyone help me in achieving this dynamically since the user can enter the year also in intervals along with the period and data also needs to be populated in the corresponding columns.
An example code would be of great help.
Thanks,

Need help in shutdown primary for maintaince (new to oracle dba)
Hi,
BANNER
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 9.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
actually we have primary database server and the physical standby server with protection mode is maxperformance and for maintaince we need to shutdown primary server so what are the steps i need to follow since my primary database is configured with DATAGAURD and i would like to follow the folllowing steps please advice me:
to shutdown standby server:
from primary server connecting to dgmgrl
dgmgrl>DISABLE SITE standby_site1;
then connecting to standby server
sql>alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
sql>shu immediate;
and finnaly connecting to primary server
sql>shu immediate
is it right since i am new to datagaurd concept need help.
Regards
PrakashYou can do so, but you would shutdown the whole standby environment. But normally standby is used to have no or only short downtime. So a switchover to the standby DB is performed (after this standby is now running as primary), maintenance is done on the primary and then at the end another switchover back from the 'new' primary to the 'old' primary.
