Voting system, questions and answers.
Ok, you can call me blind, dumb or whatever you want but... I simply can't find how to give someone votes (I don't even know how many I have lefy), how to mark my post as a question or as an answered question.
Could someone explain me as if I were 4...
Thanks.

I absolutely hear what you're saying.
But you pose the question: "Is it really about the levels, or about helping our fellow users" ?
Why must it be either, or. Why can't it be about both: Helping fellow users, and feeling good about having rendered that help -- both for the sake of rendering help and for the sake of that tiny carrot called appreciation in the form of + votes and leveling.
The old Discussions system expressly rewarded people who contributed and for receiving the thanks of one's fellow users in the form of + votes. Custom avatar privileges were conferred upon those who qualified for Level 3 status. Lounge access was given to those who qualified for Level 4 status. And under that reward system, the Discussions were vibrant, (imo) thoughtful (for the most part), involved many different users and concerned many different topics.
It's true, as someone pointed out earlier, that children get gold stars. Adults don't. That's also true. Adults get something else, bonuses, an increase in their return on investment, other rewards. Yankees Third Baseman Alex Rodriguez just won the MVP (Most Valuable Player) award in the American League in US Baseball for the season just ended. Did he play so well during the year strictly for the award, the publicity and recognition that went along with it, or for the one million US $ bonus that he got as a result? No, of course not. He's a competitor and a professional athlete and he no doubt wanted to do his best and help his team win, regardless of the prizes and recognition. But was he happy to receive the awards he got? I would imagine so.
IMO, it was about both helping for the sake of helping and about being recognized for having helped in some extremely small way that didn't cost anybody. Now that extremely small carrot, that tiny but nonetheless palpable sense of feel-good recognition has been taken away for reasons that (to me anyway) just don't seem particularly compelling and seem almost certain to result in less people participating in fewer Discussions.

Technical platform for Question and answer system
Hello everone!
We are looking for a technology solutions to realize a <b>question and answer module</b>.
Short discription of the functionality we are looking for:
- member can post a question
- this is forwarded to all members via email
- direct answers via email are returned to asker and to the system (--> automatically generate Q&A list)
- system should import/be integrated with distribution list members
I have heard that some requirements will be met by JIVE forums software which comes with NetWeaver 2004s, but I dont know any details (when? where to test?).
Now I wanted to ask if you know a system like this or have experience with question and answer systems and can give us some hints. Would be very nice to hear from you.
Kind regards
Tilman
Business Consulting Knowledge ManagementHere's another variant. You're going to have some answers that are the same for multiple questions. Standard text like 'The SYSTEM tablespace'. Now for some questions that is the correct answer and for others it is the incorrect answer.
So now what we have is:
create table questions (q_id number, q_text varchar2(255), primary key (q_id))
create table answers (a_id number, a_text varchar2(255), primary key (a_id))
create table q_a
(q_id number
, a_id number
, a_order char(1)
, correct_yn char(1)
, primary key (q_id, a_id)
, check (a_order in ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D'))
, check ( correct_yn in ('Y', 'N')))
/Obviously we need foreign keys too. You also need a check for uniqueness of the answers' ordering; a recent entry on the Amis blog could help you here. While your at it you need to check that every question has the correct number of putative answers and at least one correct answer.

I've had this iPad thing for a few months. It used to just ask me for my password, but now it is demanding I set up four questions and answers for
"added security". I don't want to do that, I just want to carry on as I was but the machine is preventing any app downloads etc.
Seems the stupid machine is in control.
How do I get it to listen when I threaten it with a good thrashing and a one way trip to the garbage unless it does what I say?

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do. -
Organization Management Interview Questions and Answers Extremely Urgent
Hi,
Please let me know Organization Management Interview Questions and Answers. MOST MOST URGENT
Please do not post Link or website name and detail response will be highly appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Sameer.
SAP HR .Hi there,
Pl. find herewith the answers of the questions posted on the forum.
1. What are plan versions used for?
Ans : Plan versions are scenarios in which you can create organizational plans.
In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
You use additional plan versions to create additional organizational plans as planning scenarios.
As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version.
For more information on creating plan versions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Personnel Management  Global Settings in Personnel Management  Plan Version Maintenance.
2. What are the basic object types?
Ans. An organization object type has an attribute that refers to an object of the organization management (position, job, user, and so on). The organization object type is linked to a business object type.
Example
The business object type BUS1001 (material) has the organization object type T024L (laboratory) as the attribute that on the other hand has an object of the organization management as the attribute. Thus, a specific material is linked with particular employees using an assigned laboratory.
3. What is the difference between a job and a position?
Ans. Job is not a concrete, it is General holding various task to perform which is generic.(Eg: Manager, General Manager, Executive).
Positions are related to persons and Position is concrete and specific which are occupied by Persons. (Eg: Manager - HR, GM HR, Executive - HR).
4. What is the difference between an organizational unit and a work centre?
Ans. Work Centre : A work center is an organizational unit that represents a suitably-equipped zone where assigned operations can be performed. A zone is a physical location in a site dedicated to a specific function.
Organization Unit : Organizational object (object key O) used to form the basis of an organizational plan. Organizational units are functional units in an enterprise. According to how tasks are divided up within an enterprise, these can be departments, groups or project teams, for example.
Organizational units differ from other units in an enterprise such as personnel areas, company codes, business areas etc. These are used to depict structures (administration or accounting) in the corresponding components.
5. Where can you maintain relationships between objects?
Ans. Infotype 1001 that defines the Relationships between different objects.
There are many types of possible relationships between different objects. Each individual relationship is actually a subtype or category of the Relationships infotype.
Certain relationships can only be assigned to certain objects. That means that when you create relationship infotype records, you must select a relationship that is suitable for the two objects involved. For example, a relationship between two organizational units might not make any sense for a work center and a job.
6. What are the main areas of the Organization and Staffing user interfaces?
Ans. You use the user interface in the Organization and Staffing or Organization and Staffing (Workflow) view to create, display and edit organizational plans.
The user interface is divided into various areas, each of it which fulfills specific functions.
Search Area
Selection Area
Overview Area
Details Area
Together, the search area and the selection area make up the Object Manager.
7. What is Expert Mode used for?
Ans. interface is used to create Org structure. Using Infotypes we can create Objects in Expert mode and we have to use different transactions to create various types of objects. If the company needs to create a huge structure, we will use Simple maintenance, because it is user friendly that is it is easy to create a structure, the system automatically relationship between the objects.
8. Can you create cost centers in Expert Mode?
Ans. Probably not. You create cost center assignments to assign a cost center to an organizational unit, or position.
When you create a cost center assignment, the system creates a relationship record between the organizational unit or position and the cost center. (This is relationship A/B 011.) No assignment percentage record can be entered.
9. Can you assign people to jobs in Expert Mode?
10. Can you use the organizational structure to create a matrix organization?
Ans. By depicting your organizational units and the hierarchical or matrix relationships between them, you model the organizational structure of your enterprise.
This organizational structure is the basis for the creation of an organizational plan, as every position in your enterprise is assigned to an organizational unit. This defines the reporting structure.
11. In general structure maintenance, is it possible to represent the legal entity of organizational units?
12. What is the Object Infotype (1000) used for?
Ans. Infotype that determines the existence of an organizational object.
As soon as you have created an object using this infotype, you can determine additional object characteristics and relationships to other objects using other infotypes.
To create new objects you must:
Define a validity period for the object
Provide an abbreviation to represent the object
Provide a brief description of the object
The validity period you apply to the object automatically limits the validity of any infotype records you append to the object. The validity periods for appended infotype records cannot exceed that of the Object infotype.
The abbreviation assigned to an object in the system renders it easily identifiable. It is helpful to use easily recognizable abbreviations.
You can change abbreviations and descriptions at a later time by editing object infotype records. However, you cannot change an objects validity period in this manner. This must be done using the Delimit function.
You can also delete the objects you create. However, if you delete an object the system erases all record of the object from the database. You should only delete objects if they are not valid at all (for example, if you create an object accidentally)
13. What is the Relationships Infotype (1001) used for?
Ans. Infotype that defines the Relationships between different objects.
You indicate that a employee or user holds a position by creating a relationship infotype record between the position and the employee or user. Relationships between various organizational units form the organizational structure in your enterprise. You identify the tasks that the holder of a position must perform by creating relationship infotype records between individual tasks and a position.
Creating and editing relationship infotype records is an essential part of setting up information in the Organizational Management component. Without relationships, all you have are isolated pieces of information.
You must decide the types of relationship record you require for your organizational structure.
If you work in Infotype Maintenance, you must create relationship records manually. However, if you work in Simple Maintenance and Structural Graphics, the system creates certain relationships automatically.
14. Which status can Infotypes in the Organizational Management component have?
Ans. Once you have created the basic framework of your organizational plan in Simple Maintenance, you can create and maintain all infotypes allowed for individual objects in your organizational plan. These can be the basic object types of Organizational Management organizational unit, position, work center and task. You can also maintain object types, which do not belong to Organizational Management.
15. What is an evaluation path?
Ans. An evaluation path describes a chain of relationships that exists between individual organizational objects in the organizational plan.
Evaluation paths are used in connection with the definition of roles and views.
The evaluation path O-S-P describes the relationship chain Organizational unit > Position > Employee.
Evaluation paths are used to select other objects from one particular organizational object. The system evaluates the organizational plan along the evaluation path.
Starting from an organizational unit, evaluation path O-S-P is used to establish all persons who belong to this organizational unit or subordinate organizational units via their positions.
16. What is Managers Desktop used for?
Ans. Manager's Desktop assists in the performance of administrative and organizational management tasks. In addition to functions in Personnel Management, Manager's Desktop also covers other application components like Controlling, where it supports manual planning or the information system for cost centers.
17. Is it possible to set up new evaluation paths in Customizing?
Ans. You can use the evaluation paths available or define your own. Before creating new evaluation paths, check the evaluation paths available as standard.
18. Which situations require new evaluation paths?
Ans. When using an evaluation path in a view, you should consider the following:
Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain always starts from a user (object type US in Organizational Management) and ends at an organizational unit, a position or a user.
When defining the evaluation path, use the Skip indicator in order not to overload the result of the evaluation.
19. How do you set up integration between Personnel Administration and Organizational Management?
Ans. Integration between the Organizational Management and Personnel Administration components enables you to,
Use data from one component in the other
Keep data in the two components consistent
Basically its relationship between person and position.
Objects in the integration plan version in the Organizational Management component must also be contained in the following Personnel Administration tables:
Tables Objects
T528B and T528T Positions
T513S and T513 Jobs
T527X Organizational units
If integration is active and you create or delete these objects in Organizational Management transactions, the system also creates or deletes the corresponding entries automatically in the tables mentioned above. Entries that were created automatically are indicated by a "P". You cannot change or delete them manually. Entries you create manually cannot have the "P" indicator (the entry cannot be maintained manually).
You can transfer either the long or the short texts of Organizational Management objects to the Personnel Administration tables. You do this in the Implementation Guide under Organizational Management -> Integration -> Integration with Personnel Administration -> Set Up Integration with Personnel Administration. If you change these control entries at a later date, you must also change the relevant table texts. To do that you use the report RHINTE10 (Prepare Integration (OM with PA)).
When you activate integration for the first time, you must ensure that the Personnel Administration and the Organizational Management databases are consistent. To do this, you use the reports:
RHINTE00 (Adopt organizational assignment (PA to PD))
RHINTE10 (Prepare Integration (PD to PA))
RHINTE20 (Check Program Integration PA - PD)
RHINTE30 (Create Batch Input Folder for Infotype 0001)
The following table entries are also required:
PLOGI PRELI in Customizing for Organizational Management (under Set Up Integration with Personnel Administration). This entry defines the standard position number.
INTE in table T77FC
INTE_PS, INTE_OSP, INTEBACK, INTECHEK and INTEGRAT in Customizing under Global Settings ® Maintain Evaluation Paths.
These table entries are included in the SAP standard system. You must not change them.
Since integration enables you to create relationships between persons and positions (A/B 008), you may be required to include appropriate entries to control the validation of these relationships. You make the necessary settings for this check in Customizing under Global Settings ® Maintain Relationships.
Sincerely,
Devang Nandha

Captivate 5 question and answer data not showing up in Connect 8 LMS
I'm using Captivate 5 and Adobe Connect 8 for an LMS. I can publish lessons and quizzes directly into Connect with no problem. Taking the quizzes works fine. I have a problem with the reporting of quizzes. The scores are correct but I often don't get all of the questions listed when I look at the reports. A 10 question quiz might show 1 question and answer. Again, the score reflects 10 questions answered but when viewing the report "By Question" only one question shows. I cannot see any settings that are different on the visible question. Has anybody else seen this?
Message was edited by: GBaylFor what it's worth I think I solved my own problem. The quizzes that were messed up were all udated from Captivate 4. This made all of the Interation IDs the same for all of the questions on each quiz. The IDs must be unique for the system to report results from each question. If you try to change an ID, the rest of the question IDs change also. To change the IDs so they will all be unique, select all of the questions in a quiz and enter CNTRL-D to duplicate them. It doesn't matter if they are in a pool or in the main project. Then deleted the originals. The new questions will all have new and unique IDs. I don't know why this works but it does. I hope someone finds this useful.

Need idea on how to do question and answer program
I want to create a troubleshooting program where it asks the user questions until its drilled down to an appropriate answer.
I've done this with a web server before but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in a program without involving many many forms. Any ideas on how to do the UI?
Thanks!Building an expert system is not a trivial process so for a commercial app you'll need to do some research. For an internal app you should probably use a database. For a school project you can get away with storing the data in a file that is loaded into
memory (or simply building the data in memory directly). In any case you'll need to define a table of questions. If you support questions with fixed answers then you'll need a separate table for the answers associated with the questions.
If questions can be different types (as mentioned previously) then you'll also need to track the question type with the question. For the relationship between questions you can go different ways depending upon your requirements. If question 1 with answer
A goes to question 2 but answer B goes to question 3 then you can create a simple reference table that indicates what the next question is given the current question and answer, basically a state machine. If a single answer opens a whole series of questions
then you might do better to group the questions together and manage the transition between groups of questions. It really depends upon your requirements. You'll want to research state machines to implement this though.
On the UI side you really don't need to dynamically create anything. The only thing that changes between questions is the text and possibly the answer format (if you support multiple questions). As I mentioned earlier you can create a separate container
(Panel) for each question type and then show or hide the container based upon the type of question (from your database data). This eliminates the need to dynamically create the UI. -
Here are some common WTC questions and answers:
Q1: What is the transaction story for WTC between WLS and Tuxedo and how
does it differ from Jolt?
A1: In version 1.0 of WTC transactions may be started in WLS and will
"infect" Tuxedo with the same transaction. That implies that there is one
and only one commit coordinator, and that is in WLS. In version 1.0 of WTC
transactions originating
in Tuxedo via WTC is not supported. In version 1.1 of WTC transactions from
Tuxedo into WLS via WTC can be used, but only in Beta mode, as we will not
have done the required QA of "inbound" transactions. In order to use
inbound transactions in WTC 1.1 you will need to turn on the use of beta
features with an attribute called "UseBetaFeatures" on the WTC Startup class
in WLS.
This differs from Jolt in that while Jolt can start transactions in Tuxedo,
these transactions are not coordinated with anything in WLS. Hence it is
impossible to do a 2 phase commit which involves WLS resources and Tuxedo
resources with Jolt. Since Jolt does not have any means of invoking WLS
services transactions in that direction do not make sense.
Q2. How does the security mapping work?
A2: WLS and Tuxedo can share the same set of users (though they may be
administered differently in the two systems) and the users can propagate
their credentials from one system to the other. For example, if John Wells
logs into WLS then the services which he invokes in Tuxedo will have all of
the ACL permissions of John Wells as defined on the Tuxedo side.
Furthermore, if Jolene User logs into Tuxedo then any resources she attempts
to access in WLS via WTC will be checked against Jolene User's rights in WLS
land.
In order to accomplish this, a few things need to be set up:
1. You must be using Tuxedo 7.1 or Tuxedo 8.0 for this to work. Tuxedo 6.5
did not have the security infrastructure necessary to make this happen.
2. In your BDMCONFIG on the Tuxedo side you will need to set ACL_POLICY and
CREDENTIAL_POLICY to "GLOBAL" for the WLS remote domain. ACL_POLICY
controls whether or not a domain accepts credentials coming from a remote
domain and CREDENTIAL_POLICY controls whether or not we send credentials to
a remote domain. (In Tuxedo 7.1 there was no CREDENTIAL_POLICY - we always
sent the credentials to the remote domain).
3. In your BDMCONFIG on the WLS side you must likewise specify <ACL_POLICY>
and <CREDENTIAL_POLICY> to be "GLOBAL."
4. On the WLS side you must also configure a <TpUsrFile> which will point
to a file of the exact same format as the tpusr file generated by the
various Tuxedo commands to add and delete users. (Which also happens to be
of the same format as the unix /etc/passwd file). WTC needs this file
because in WLS users do not have user identification numbers or group
identification numbers. Hence we need a way to map WLS users into the
standard Tuxedo UID/GID appkey.
Voila! You have now set up your system such that users logged into either
system can be given access privelidges in the other system. This is known
as single sign-on. We are currently working on a way to better integrate
the two user databases between WLS and Tuxedo, and one day we will have
single administration and single-sign on!
Q3: How is the performance of WTC?
A3: Obviously, results will vary based on your machine, CPU, application
(i.e., transactions/no transactions) etc...
However, in the performance lab here we have seen WTC perform at levels that
nearly equal Tuxedo in a similar configuration. The performance is equal to
or better than Jolt, and will scale much better than Jolt because of the
concentration of network bandwidth.
Q4: What fail-over/fail-back mechanisms are there in WTC?
A4: WTC has many of the same fail-over fail-back mechanisms which /T
domains had. Any service can be offered by multiple remote domains, and if
a domain link is down we will attempt all of the backup domains. In /T
domains there was a limit of three backup remote domains, but in WTC there
is no limit to the number of backup domains you can configure for a service.
Furthermore, we support the connection policies of ON_STARTUP, ON_DEMAND and
INCOMING_ONLY. If the policy is ON_STARTUP then you can also configure a
retry interval and max-retries. We will attempt to connect to ON_STARTUP
remote domains every retry interval for a maximum number of retries before
giving up. If a domain is configured as ON_STARTUP or INCOMING_ONLY and the
connection is not currently established then no services will be routed to
that remote domain.
Q5: What support features are available in WTC?
A5: WTC has a tracing feature which can be enabled dynamically. If a
customer reports a problem, support will likely ask the customer to turn
tracing on and send a log file. This tracing facility has several levels of
severity and can also help debug WTC applications. It is turned on by
setting TraceLevel in the WTC startup class. The following are the defined
levels:
10000 - TBRIDGE Input/Output
15000 - TBRIDGE extra information
20000 - Gateway Input/Output (this will trace the ATMI verbs)
25000 - Gateway extra information
50000 - JATMI Input/Output (this will trace the low-level jatmi calls)
55000 - JATMI extra information
60000 - CORBA Input/Output (this will trace CORBA calls)
65000 - CORBA extra information
Q6: Will Jolt be deprecated?
A6: No. There are some features of Jolt that are not covered by WTC. For
example, the Jolt registry API are not supported by WTC. Furthermore WTC
must run in conjunction with WLS, while Jolt can be run from Applets or from
free-standing Java applications.
Q7: What about JCA? Is WTC a JCA adapter?
A7: WTC is not a JCA adapter. JCA does not define semantics for inbound
invokations into the JCA container, but WTC allows for Tuxedo clients to
invoke WLS EJBs. However, the jATMI object interactions are based on the
JCA client model. BEA is currently evaluating several JCA strategies for
connections into Tuxedo.

[email protected]
[email protected]Q8. What versions of Tuxedo are supported?
A8. WTC 1.0 will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. WTC 1.1 (which adds
CORBA support) will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. Soon after the
release of both of these products we will certify WTC with Tuxedo 7.1.
However, the version of Tuxedo 7.1 you will need to have will be Tuxedo 7.1
after a certain patch level, which I don't know the number of yet. I will
attempt to keep the public informed about which patch level will be required
in Tuxedo 7.1
Q9. What WLS Releases will be supported?
A9. WTC 1.0 will be certified on WLS 6.0 SP2, WTC 1.1 will be bundled with
WLS SilverSword release (6.1?)
Q10. How will WTC be packaged?
A10. WTC 1.0 will be a separately downloaded binary (one for unix, one for
NT) that the user will have to install and configure in his/her WLS
environment. (Configuration will consist of putting the jatmi.jar file into
the classpath (as well as the normal BDMCONFIG configuration, of course)).
WTC 1.1 will be bundled right in there with the WLS SilverSword release.
Q11. When will WTC go live (no more beta)?
A11. This is a question for Jeff Cutler, but my impression is that WTC 1.0
will be shipped in the same time-frame as the Tuxedo 8.0 release and
obviously (see A10) WTC 1.1 will be shipped with WLS SilverSword.

what a waste of money sending an engineer to "fix a fault" which does not exist. Precisely.
In my original BE post to which Tom so helpfully responded, I began: It seems to me that DLM is an excellent concept with a highly flawed implementation, both technically and administratively. I think that sending out an engineer to fix an obviously flawed profile is the main example of an adminastrative flaw. I understand (I can't remember source, maybe Tom again) that they are sometimes relaxing the requirement for a visit before reset.
Maybe the DLM system is too keen on stability vs speed. This will keep complaints down from many people: most users won't notice speed too much as long as it is reasonable, but will be upset if their Skype calls and browsing are being interrupted too often.
However, it does lead to complaints from people who notice the drops after an incidence (as in your thread that has drawn lots of interest), or who only get 50 instead of 60. The main technical flaw is that DLM can so easily be confused by drops from loss of power, too much modem recycling, etc, and then takes so long to recover. -
Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance -
HT1420 i forgot my answers to my security questions, how do i setup new questions and answers?
I have forgotten my answers to my security questions, how do i setup new security questions and answers?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support. -
Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. It has been doing this for weeks, and I can't purchase anything! HELP!
Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

<Email Edited by Host>It is a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID and Password.
You should forward it to Apple : [email protected] -
I was on the phone for almost 2 hrs. yesterday because I had so many passwords I couldn't remember the one I used for itunes. The fellow helped me get it all straightened out but it still wouldn't let me get in because I couldn't remember the questions and answers. He was going to take care of it at that end and told me to wait 24 hours. So I'm at it again. I got into itunes but when I try to retrieve my previous apps,it wants me to put my password for that as well and then I'm in the situation with it not accepting my password so when I try to change my password it then wants me to answer the question and answer so now I'm thinking I have more than a seizure disorder and it's driving me to the point of no patience. Can you help?

Regardless of apple updating something or another. I have no need for the additional questions and really don't want to allow them to bully me into compliance.
You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

So how can I continue in the good old fashioned way?
Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do. -
I like to find out my security question and answer
If you can't remember the answers to the security questions, then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
