What is the "Search Domains" setting?

In WiFi settings, what is the purpose of the "Search Domains" setting?
This doesn't seem to be covered in the user guide and I couldn't turn up anything when searching several forums.

The search domains you enter in your Network preferences are automatically appended to names you type in Internet applications. For example, if you specify the search domain apple.com, typing “store” in your web browser takes you to store.apple.com.
There's no real need to change that setting, though.

  • What are the correct domain settings @ Go Daddy?

    I will set up a Mac Mini Lion Server using server assistant.  I bought a domain name from Go Daddy. What are the correct domain (DNS, host) settings @ Go Daddy - need step by step guide; thanks in advance.

    I do not fully understand how the PTR pointer works
    PTRs map IP addresses back to hostnames - also known as 'reverse DNS'.
    The way it works is that when you (or any client) looks up an IP address they first query the root servers that maintain a map of the main IP address allocations. You then query the server that's authoritative for the IP address in question. That server may respond, or may further delegate responsibility to another server.
    As an illustration, imagine a company - MegaISP - who's been allocated a large block of IP addresses - say 1.0.0.0 through 1.255.255.255. As an ISP they provide access service in all 50 states so they may further subdivide their network into chunks and delegate control of each chunk to a different server, e.g. 1.1.0.0 - 1.1.255.255 -> CA, 1.2.0.0 - 1.2.255.255 -> NY, etc.
    Now you, as a customer of MegaISP, connect to their server and are allocated a dynamic address from the 1.2.0.0 - 1.2.255.255 subnet - let's say 1.2.3.4
    When you perform a reverse lookup on 1.2.3.4 your query first goes to the root servers which say something like 'hey, those IPs are owned by MegaISP's DNS servers, so go ask them'. You then query MegaISP's main servers which then say 'hey, that IP is somewhere in the New York subnet, so go query the New York DNS server. Your query then goes to MegaISP's New York server that replies something like 'host-1-2-3-4.ny.megaisp.net' and that' your reverse lookup.
    (of course, this is greatly simplified, and the whole process takes a fraction of a second, but hopefully you get the idea).
    The problem you now have is that MegaISP have no idea what services you're running on your connection, so they just return a generic response (e.g. host-1-2-3-4.ny.megaisp.net) and not something that relates to your domain (e.g. www.yourdomain.net). Nobody knows to ask your DNS server what hostname your IP address should map to.
    In order for that last step, MegaISP either have to change their DNS servers to map your IP address to your domain name rather than the generic hostname, or they have to further delegate your IP address's lookup to your own server (i.e. add another link in the chain - like 'hey, that IP address is delegated to yourdomain.net, so go ask their server').
    Most ISPs are happy to either delegate or have a custom entry for your domain, but not on dynamic or residential-grade connections - it's not worth the time and effort to keep it up to date as your IP address changes, which is why it's typically only something that comes with business-grade services.
    and what limitations this will lead to
    Any service that relies on valid reverse DNS is doomed to fail. For the most part, http doesn't matter/care, but don't expect to run a mail server or certain other services.

  • What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

    I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
    I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
    The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
    This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • What is the best export setting from QuickTime Pro 7 for standard DVD

    I have several AVI movies I took and want to import them into iMovie, so I can create a DVD that will play in any DVD player or computer. (Along with a bunch of pictures.)
    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    I have export them using *_QuickTime 10_* and QTP7 to *MOV, MP4, & M4V* and the output is *+bad bad bad+*.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    I have used several settings with not much luck including:
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, MPEG-4 (Perian), 640 x 480, Millions
    MPEG-4 Video, H.264
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    These are wedding movies and pictures that people are waiting for.

    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    That depends on your specific work flow and the codec(s) involved. Generally speaking, if the file plays in the QT Player and is "conversion" compatible, then the file can be added directly to iDVD (i.e., unlike iMovie '08/'09/'11 which requires the file to be "edit" compatible with QT).
    I have export them using QuickTime 10 and QTP7 to MOV, MP4, & M4V and the output is bad bad bad.
    The quality of your output file will depend on a number of things: primarily the quality of your source file, the efficiency of the target codec, and the specific settings used. (About which you did not elaborate.) The rule of thumb here is that your output will never be better than your input and each re-comprssion of the data has the potential to degrade the quality to some degree.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The "Export" option re-compresses the data while the "Save As..." option only places the original data in an MOV file container. So if this output is "bad, bad, bad," then I suspect your source file(s) are not of high quality to begin with. (This seems to be confirmed by the very low audio sampling rate which implies the video data rate was probably also low to conserve file storage space.)
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)... Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    The basic codecs here appear to be both playback and conversion compatitible with QT (other than the very low sampling rate which some QT apps may not like). Thus, if your work flow is to simply burn DVDs that can be played on commercial players, the AVI could most likely be dropped to iDVD for authoring. On the other hand, if you are editing in a recent version of iMovie, then that app may not like the AVI file container. In this case, the best quality you can likely expect would be to use the "Save As..." option to place the data in an MOV file container and import to iMovie.
    Unfortunately, editing in iMovie '08/'09/'11 is done "by reference" which means your output file will be created by exporting the impoted source data to another compression format. The default would be H.264/AAC which is a highly compressed format which in turn would be re-compressed again by iDVD to multiplexed MPEG2/PCM content further reducing quality by using a less efficient video codec. My recommendation for export from iMovie in this case would be AIC/Linear PCM. (I.e., to export your edits to the Apple intermediat video codec using the original file size and frame rate with just a bit of "sharpening" and using 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM audio (which is what will be used to create the DVD).
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    How much are you willing to spend?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    Yes. Simply create a new SD project, select your theme, drop the compatible AVI content to the appropriate "drop" area(s), add photos as desired, preview the results, and author the DVD if/when satisfied.

    what is the procedure to set the NLS_DATE_FORMAt in the database?

    Although why rely on the NLS_DATE_FORMAT anyway? Any date formats for display purposes should be tailored into the code of the application wherever you use TO_CHAR or the application has a "date" field that allows formats to be specified (depends on the GUI).

  • What is the BAPI for setting "deletion flag" in IW32?

    What is the BAPI for setting "deletion flag" in IW32? Thanks!

    Hello
    There seems to be no BAPI to set deletion flag for MO.
    Quick Approach:
    You can copy an existing BAPI module BAPI_ISUSMORDER_SETSTATUSTECHN, for example, to Y_BAPI_MORDER_SETSTATUSDEL, and then edit this copy
    change the code in the existing lines for screen 3000
    PERFORM BDC_DYNPRO USING 'SAPLCOIH'      '3000'.
    PERFORM BDC_FIELD  USING 'BDC_OKCODE'    'LVMS'. (Instead of current 'ARCH')
    It should hopefully work.
    fyi: The orders can be set with Del flag only when they are in CLSD status

    What is the use of setting null values to Objects?
    regards,
    namanc

    It's more of a safety trap within java to handle the "programmers are still humans" exception.
    String myname;
    // print what???? Forgot to initialize the name!
    System.out.println(myname);Java will complain about myname not being initialized. It won't when you do this:
    String myname = null;
    // allright, your name is null
    System.out.println(myname);In the second case you are showing to java that you know what you are doing.

  • Re: (forte-users) Ok, what's the "secret" for setting serverside envi

    Dear Robinson,
    It seems to be that you have 2 ways of solving the problem:
    1) restart forte after setting the environment variables
    2) write a little application which sets the required variables, using
    the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv(name,value) method.
    If you have to chage the variables rarely, then it`s easier to restart forte,
    otherwise I would suggest to use the SetEnv function...

    Richard,
    There is no way of changing the environment variable once the Node
    Manager is up. You will have to shutdown the node manager and then restart
    it to have the new environment variables take effect. Sorry, there is no
    secret way of doing this that I know of.
    But you can set the variables on you development machine and run you
    application without distributing. This way the partition will be running in
    your client machine and not the server.
    Another way we have also got around this is by having a special
    environment variable on the client side that opens a admin screen when you
    run you application. This admin screen will allow you to change the
    environment variables and then set them on the server partition. You will
    have to do come coding on the server to make this happen but if you are
    using a framework then it should be easy. We call this developer reconnect
    facility. It only can be activated by the special client side environment
    variable. I comes in very handy when we are development and want to change
    the database on the server partition.
    Hope this help.

    Great question, Aerogoob.
    The XY graph can be bound to a 1d array of "points", where each point is a cluster of two numerics (X and Y). To create a shared variable of this type, you can set the data type to "From Custom Control..." in the shared variable properties dialog. Of course, first you'll have to build the custom control of the correct type: array of cluster of two numerics.
    If any of that doesn't make sense, please post back and we can walk you through it in more detail.
    Also, just for completeness, the chart indicator can be bound to a scalar numeric or to an array of numerics. The graph indicator can only be bound to an array of numerics.
