Postage Stamp question for you Stamp experts
Purchased some bulk mint postage locally. In the lot was a number of Stamps with the red Maple Leaf and just the letter "A". I remember these way back when. I know that they had a fixed value but can not remember the exact value. I asked at the local PO but had a new person on and they didn't have a clueThanks all

International or USA or Packages______________________________________________________________________________________ Haha! Those of us who are over 50 had this answer right at hand! I guess I've just dated myself It's amazing how knowledge of the simple answer to such things can be lost in a generation or two. Actually 'zeechan's' question reminded me of an incident that occurred about 10 years ago in an office where I was working. The office manager asked a young student who was doing "odd jobs" for the firm for the summer to clean out the fridge in the lunchroom. The student took one look at the fridge, then ran back to the manager to say: "There's ice everywhere inside -- how do I get that out?!" Need I add for those of us over 50, that the fridge was not frost-free, and the student was instructed to simply unplug it and wait to clean up the remains of the ice. Oh, right. In the same vein, it makes me wonder whether all those fine old colourful sayings in English about the lowly penny will make no sense ("cents"?? LOL) to anyone under 20 in a couple of decades. A penny for your thoughts? Pennies from heaven? Penny wise but pound foolish? Penny candy? Cost a pretty penny? Penny ante? Spend a penny? Penny-pincher? Turn up like a bad penny? The penny dropped?, etc. etc. etc. Huhhh?? OK, sorry, now I'm babbling...

Question for you Apple experts
First let me state that I don't mean this to be a ******** session. I bought my Iphone in December and overall I'm pleased. It doesn't run my life, I use it to make and receive calls and email. With the exception that one day it turned into a brick, 2.0 update, things have worked rather well. What troubles me is that so many people have so many problems. Now I realize that reading this forum is like going into a hospital, everyone is sick. And being tech. challenged I don't know how these things work, but seems to me that a company like Apple being in the business for some years should be able to put out updates that don't cause so many to have such problems. Is it a problem with testing, rushing the product to market to keep ahead of the competition, or are many of these issues the fault of the user?
Or are these machines so complicated that no matter what preparation is undertaken, mass casualties will occur?
You folks tell me.I have been an Apple user for many years and in that time I have had a few problems but not too many. This iPhone update is a pretty rare occurrence but sometimes things happen. I used to NEVER update my software until several weeks after an update came out for just this very reason but lost my mind in anticipation of 2.0. I wont be doing that again. I also turn OFF automatic updates for this reason. A mission critical piece of hardware should only be updated when it is absolutely certain it is safe...this includes your phone. I just wish there was an easier way to back up your iPhone like you can your computer. If I run an update to OSX and it hoses my system I just restore it from the backup disk image I created just BEFORE I ran the update. The iPhone won't let you do this and that's bad.
Why did they release 2.0 AND 3G on the same day? If everybody downloaded the 2.0 update several days BEFORE the 3G came out and discovered they could have 90%+ of the functionality and NOT have to buy a new phone, do you think they would have sold over 1 Million units the first weekend? If they released 2.0 a few days after the 3G launch the Apple community WHINE would be overwhelming. So they chose the lesser of the two evils I guess.
Apple is VERY secretive of it's hardware and software and I'm sure they try to test it as best they can but sometimes you can only do what you can do. Out of the millions of Original iPhone users out there, statistically speaking this isn't "too" bad, but I had to exchange my iPhone for another because it was so terrible and you can bet I won't try to update it again until there is a better confirmation on the 2.0.1. I learned my lesson. Apple however very graciously replaced my iPhone and I am happier for it.
And NO, I didn't update it from the rumor sites link. I ran the update from iTunes as any SANE person would. If you downloaded and installed an update from an unofficial link you don't have any right to complain that you screwed your phone. -
hi, I have keep seeing a small 'Connection failed' warning box popping up: [[Connection failed There was an error connecting to the server "Warning; Self Aware"]]. Question for you gods - what does it mean. is it important? my computer connects to my server works. Could it be related to "Network Preference & Monitor icons missing from my system preferences page? and my guest sign=in account is now the main account?? thanks you. jb

Hi Richard.
I have a question for you about the MSI K7N2G-LISR (NVIDIA nForce2 IGP) motherboard we were discussing.
If this board has integrated graphics, why do I need a video card? I had someone else ask me the same thing but I didn't know the answer.
Thanks
MikeHi Mike, I not sure if I should step in and put in this reply, but couldn't stop myself not to as this is quite important.
Mobos that comes with on board/integrated/shared Memory Graphics usually dun ends up giving you good framerates and graphics details. I have a friend who spent Sin 2000 over dollars to D.I.Y a creative slix look alike com with on board graphics has regretted not getting a proper mobo with AGP slot. The graphics that are produced on his com are like running a TNT2 Riva 32MB card for games like warcraft 3 and any latest 1st person shooting games... juz imagining it...
I'm the type of person who are more for graphics and smoothness of gameplays and details of model as I do some 3D designs and picture designing. I juz dun understand why there are still people going for onboard graphics and complaining about poor fps produced which they should have blame themselves for it X( ... It's good that you've pointed out your doubts on that...
All the Best... :D !!! -
First 6 weeks with Mac Pro - Bunch of questions for you
I'm a new Mac convert and now after having my 1st Mac for about 6 weeks I've developed a list of questions I'd love to have some help with.
1) How can I "minimize all" like in a PC
2) Some programs seem to require an admin status to install. Can I do this without logging into a separate admin account? Some will ask for a name and password, but some just won't install correctly. Can I "run as admin" somehow from the start without logging out or user switching first?
3) If I'm running a fullscreen app (i.e. game such as Age of Empires) is there a way to get to the desktop without quitting the game?
4) Is there a quick shortcut way to get to the downloads window?
5) Can I change my mail so that there is a delay before a message is marked "read" - right now even scrolling past it marks it read.
6) Can I auto log in to a network drive? I have a NAS that i use for backup storage and want it available evertime I start my computer
7) How do I control what app opens a type of file - for example for a long time until I installed the full adobe PDF program all PDF files were opening in safari and I couldn't adjust the view
8) I have a hot swap / Firewire drive. For some reason it won't show up unless I physically unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there an "update" that will update all drives and scan for connected drives?
I appreciate any help with these questions - love my Mac and getting great work from Aperture. Have a project with Final Cut express coming up which will be my first movie project on the Mac - used Sony Vegas on the Pc in the past.1) How can I "minimize all" like in a PC
There are several options
a-Use Expose ( F9, F10, F11 & F12 keys)
b-with the program whose windows you want to minimise active, while holding the option key, click the yellow window widget. All open windows in that program will minimise to the dock.
c-while holding the option key, click on a running programs icon in the dock and choose "hide others" from the popup menu. This will hide all running programs except the one your working on.
2) Some programs seem to require an admin status to install.
You should be able to enter your admin name & password to install anything. This will affect where some things are installed sometimes, so you can also consider turning on fast user switching, so you have quick access to each account. If all that is not doing it for you ...
You can go to the accounts panel in System Preferences and set the admin account to auto-log in, or to log into the admin account and wait for you to enter the password. If you wanted to run as admin full time, you would do better to change your user account to an admin account and then delete the original admin account. No need for two admin accounts. While it is good practice to run and admin and a user account, the vast majority of Mac users run as admin.
3) If I'm running a fullscreen app (i.e. game such as Age of Empires) is there a way to get to the desktop without quitting the game?
Command-H will hide most running programs. Clicking on the programs icon in the dock will restore the full screen window.
4) Is there a quick shortcut way to get to the downloads window?
I like to keep a copy of the download manager in the Finder sidebar. You can get to the download manager from any Finder window, plus you can drag & drop URL's onto the icon to download files.
With the Finder active, press Shift-Command-G, which will open the "Go to Folder" window. Download manager is in /System/Library/CoreServices, so type /System/Library/CoreServices and hit the "go" button, At the bottom of the list, is an application called Verified Download Manager. Drag it to the sidebar of the open Finder window, placing it in the section below the iDisk/Network/HD.
Be careful not to move the actual program, you just want a link to it in the sidebar.
5) Can I change my mail so that there is a delay before a message is marked "read" - right now even scrolling past it marks it read.
Not that I've found. You might want to visit http://www.hawkwings.net/ where you'll find a lot of Mail.app tips
6) Can I auto log in to a network drive? I have a NAS that i use for backup storage and want it available evertime I start my computer
You can, several complicated ways come to mind ... I'm going to skip over them as they probably won't work with a PC type NAS anyway. What you could do, is to mount or connect to your NAS, so it is visible in the Finder, then, open the Accounts panel in System Preferences and click on the login items tab. Click the + button to add an item and the navigate/select your NAS.
This will mount your NAS at Startup, but could cause really slow startups and all kinds of other problems if you're using a laptop, or otherwise unable to connect to the NAS at startup/login. If the NAS is always available, this should work fine.
7) How do I control what app opens a type of file - for example for a long time until I installed the full adobe PDF program all PDF files were opening in safari and I couldn't adjust the view
Select/Click-on (highlight in the finder) any file that you want to modify, and then press Command-I
This will open a get info window for the file, where you can choose "Open with..." to select what application to open this file with, then, just below, notice the "Change All" button, which, when clicked, will change every file type like the selection to work with the chosen app in the future.
You really should consider using Preview fro PDF's unless you need Acrobat advanded features - it's nicer/faster etc.
8) I have a hot swap / Firewire drive. For some reason it won't show up unless I physically unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there an "update" that will update all drives and scan for connected drives?
Best way to deal with this is to make an alias (aka shortcut). While the drive is mounted, highlight it in the Finder and press Command-L
You can also add it (or the alias) to the sidebar, just like the download manager.
Both options let you click to mount the drive, which is handy to allow you to unmount it when you don't need it.

I have a question for you: Inserting Word document in BLOB column
Hey Experts,
I have found a good info and a sample on how to achieve this on
http://www.sys-con.com/java/source/5-6/code.cfm?Page=76.
declare
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
begin
insert into sam_emp(empno,ename,resume)
values ( 9001, 'Samir',empty_blob() )
return risumi into b_lob;
f_lob := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'MyResume.doc' );
dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile
( b_lob, f_lob, dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);
commit;
end;
I have a jsp project and the users ( on the client side)must be
able to create a word document and send it to the server with an
uplaod servlet. With another servlet or jsp i want to process
this word document in BLOB column using JAVA. The sample above
uses PL/SQL to achieve this. Is there a way i can do this in my
servlet/jsp to do the same thing?

Print range section - Lets you specify which pages of the current web page are printed:
* Select '''All''' to print everything.
* Select '''Pages''' and enter the range of pages you want to print. For example, selecting "from 1 to 1" prints the first page only.
* Select '''Selection''' to print only the part the page you've highlighted.

SQL - PL/SQL question for you SQL degenerates.
I wish to create a view from a tableZ as follows. I have a table with 4 columns. I want to group col1,col2 and col3 based upon the value of col4. The value of col4 is based on a algorithm that needs to search for the lowest number in that particular grouping. So, from the example I am listing the value of col4 in the first block (A,A,A) is 1 since the smallest number in that block of 4 rows is a 1. Second block value would be=4 (A,A,B) since there are all 4's in the last column. Third Block (AAC) would be = 2 since we have 2,2,3,3. Fourth block (AAD) would be = 3 since we have 3,3,3,4 and the Fifth block (AAE) would be a 1 since we have 1,1,1,1. Remember the value is equal to the lowest integer of the four. The integer 1 is the lowest value in any list so if you loop and search the list and find a value of 1 you can exit at that point and automatically assign a one. So the Summary view would look like this based upon the sample values in the tableZ contents.
A A A 1
A A B 4
A A C 2
A A D 3
A A E 1
Table Z Contents of
col1,col2,col3,col4

n. An idiosyncratic or eccentric use of language in which the meaning of particular words is determined by the speaker.

"There's glory for you!"
"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "
"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument,' " Alice objected.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

Hey all you pros, question for you...
I am a new convert, and I and trying to learn all the ins and outs of mac worship. With the one-button mouse (i got myself a cute little wireless one here...), are there shortcut keys to do more with the mouse? I wasn't particularly fond of the mighty mouse, but I am already missing scrolling and the such. I assume there is something to alleviate this, as so much is keyboard driven anyways...
Thanks for you help...!You can get the equivalent of a right-click a couple of ways. One way is to hold down the control key when you click. Another way is to click and wait a second before releasing the click. This is my preferred way for activating context menus, etc.

I'm having vertical banding issues in Premiere Pro 6 with my video playback. I ingested video from my mini-DV Sony camera. I think it's a codec issue, but if there's an easier answer I'll take it.
Thanks,
BrettIt's not likely a codec issue if it's from mini DV.
Does it play ok on the camera?
Is your video driver up to date?
Was it ok and just started to occur?
Does it happen with all tapes?
