10.5 - 300 Good or BAD new Features????

Been two weeks since installing Leopard and have had nothing but problems.
iCal is useless, cannot publish and cannot properly sync with my iPhone
iPhoto no longer works properly as the camera card no longer automatically opens iPhoto.
Podcast Maker crashes
and many, many more issues.
All these features were fine with 10.4.10.

Yes, Fireworks is part of Adobe CS3 (at least the web suites), since Adobe bought Macromedia.
For what it's worth, it's a good idea to check compatibility with your versions of software you need to use before upgrading to a new Mac OS version. Most upgrades (as opposed to updates) break at least some functionality in some software, especially older software.

Good and bad news but a little confused (draytek 2...

Just returned from holiday a few days ago, on return we found that our phone line was done, no voice or data. Doh
Today a nice BT engineer came, he found a problem with the external wiring of the line, a fe hours later a nice new connection and line up and running...that's good news number 1
As and engineer had been and I'd noticd that Mike_tuner had posted that a firmware update had become avaialble for the Draytek 2750, I like Mike had no luck in getting this router to work when BT infinity was first intalled at my house in January.
So armed with a new solid connection and the firmware I flashed the router connected her up and hay presto a connection, so 2 boxes become 1 the desk looks a lot neater and I can actually have a wireless conection that doesn't keep dropping out...Good news part 2
Now for the bad news..
before the problems with the telphone line, although our connection had quire a few drop outs, i managed a download speed of around 32 mbps, being in the sticks I was more than happy, even though the BT website quoted my 40mbps at the time of ordering. Now however since the the engineer has been I can only get around 13 mbps???
The bt line test (cant post as it only allows 1 test per hour) says that the maximum poss is 14 mbps?? confused.. i have had 30 so how is this possible??
so guys whats your thoughts, can I get it quicker, should it be quicker, has the work on the line reduced my speed..
cheers

Some good and bad news...

The bad news... My 15'' MBP (week 22) has a few issues, some more serious than others (kernal issues).
The good news... Apple Australia are replacing it for me.
With all the negative posts on this forum regarding Apple I must say I am very pleased with the level of customer service I recieved from Apple. They were very polite and did not question my request once, actually they suggested a replacement over it being fixed!
One question I do have though is what is happening to all these MBPs that are being returned? I hope they are just not being reimaged and sent out again? I woudl be a little disapointed if I received a refurbished MBP if I payed top dollar for it.
Anyway, congrats to Apple Australia for their excellent customer service.

it will have whatever is wrong with it fixed and be sold as a refurb.

After a month some good some bad. BB really messed up on some basic features we used to have

I've been a BB user since they were Blueberry's. I have to say the Q10 after a month of using it is seriously deficient in features compared to my Tour. I thought I was getting the best of the Tour but now with a decent sized screen. Boy was I wrong. So here's my assessment from a road warrior that uses his machine to take care of emails, contacts and access to hotel and airline websites. I don't play games, watch movies or use it as a pacifier like so many do.
1.) Link - Doesn't work on my system. BB support tried and tried but couldn't get it to work on my Lenovo/Windows 7. So I have no easy way to synch Outlook contacts, calendar etc... I think BB Desktop was a far superior interface as was BIS for setting email. I don't know why they had to go backwards on this and not transport the key parts into the new OS interface. It's only programmer/developer time to make it happen.
2.) Not ringing when holstered? C'mon that's a HUGE oversight. I'm a business man in constant travel meetings around the world. I always had the Tour set to vibrate in holster and ring out of it. Now I have to shut the Q10 off or fiddle through a bunch of screen taps. The not ring in holster setting is key for me. Having someone's phone go off (especially mine) in a meeting with me is a big no no. I hope that they can add this feature back in.
3.) Battery Life - Great as expected with a BB
4.) MP3 Player - Looks like I'll have to keep keeping track of another device to listen to my MP3's. Really, what's it take to have high quality MP3 audio?
5.) Screen and ergonomics - Awesome human interface engineering. Too bad the features and supporting expectations are still weak sauce.
6.) Websites Access - Fast 4G, nice screen=Happy with improvement over 3G small screen Tour
7.) Call quality - Great
8.) Basic Operating descriptions - Maybe it's me but I couldn't locate how to make the center button between the volume rockers into a programmable hot key. I'd like that to be the Voice control so I can use it to initiate voice commands. There was no manual in the box and no instructions on where to go to get the user guide. I found the guide via a link on this site.
Bottom line is that I'm going to keep it and hope that Blackberry actually reads some of these as they have no way to get feedback from their users. This is a basic flaw as well. I make my business better by listening to my customers and making my best effort to meet their expectations. It seems BB has gone the "Good enough" route. Maybe it's still early and there's hope.... That's my story and I'm sticking to it (for at least another 2 years).

S, Interesting analysis!
I am a user very similar to you. Fortunately for me, I have hit none of the snags you describe and don't care too much about the drawbacks you cite. Whew!...guess I was lucky!
I am enamored with the Q10 because of the positives that you mention as well as numerous others that exist with the Q10.

IPod 160GB - the good and the bad new

I received my iPod 160GB this morning. Here are some of my first impressions.
The good news:
I was a bit worried about speed issues and/or crashing as posted on this forum, but my iPod seems to work without any major speed issues, and I haven't encountered any crash so-far. The content is about 60GB of music, lots of covers, 2 movies, agenda and contacts. Even cover flow has a very acceptable speed (faster than on my dual G5 PowerMac), though I wonder its suitability with an amount of covers associated with 160GB of music. The only performance issue I encounter when I go back to the main menu, where arbitrary cover art is shown using Ken Burn effects. I guess a bit of caching can solve this issue.
The bad news:
Sound quality. The good thing is that it's more crisp than the iPod Video 5G 60GB (more loudness > 8kHz) adding to a pronunced sort of accuracy with cymbals and percussion beats, but a bit too crisp from a timbre standpoint of view (reminds me a bit of my iPod 3G). It also has less energy in the lower mid-range (200-800Hz), so it misses some push and harmonics. Overall this results in a less harmonic sound, less spatial (the scene is inside your head instead of around your head), a bit too much emphasis on high treble, and "less silence between the notes". It sounds more technical, and less acoustical/realistic. The output of my PowerMac G5 resembles the iPod Video much more than the iPod Classic. I suspect there is a mismatch in the group delay of the treble, where the treble arrives "faster" than the lower frequencies. That's a typical error in DA-conversion and filtering, that can be fixed by FIR filtering, or masked by a slight attenuation (0.1-0.3dB of treble starting from 8kHz).
Some say it is a small issue, but I think it is a huge issue.
Annoyances/strange things:
- Sound quality. A bit more natural and acoustical instead of technical.
- When the screen blanks during playing, it shows a clock, and a battery indicator. When music plays I'd like to see where in the track I am, what number is playing etc., without having to touch the iPod to wake its screen up.
- EU sound limit. With my Sennheiser HD650 and some soft recordings, it is too soft. I hope for a fast update of GoPod, to be able to accomplish normal sound levels.
- Clicker hardly audible through the headphones.
- Everywhere album art in the main menu, except for the "Now Playing" menu, which only shows a title.
Some bugs:
- The time shown when the screen blanks is always in US (no AM/PM!) format instead of the selected 24h format in the preferences.
- The date is always shown in US format (m/d/y instead of d/m/y).
- Home addresses and office addresses in the address book are all mentioned as home address on the iPod.
- The camera connector doesn't work.
- Equalizer heavily distorting. It is amazing that this is the case since the 1G iPod, and nothing has ever been done to fix this.
I hope a firmware update will solve things quickly. Especially the sound quality issue should be solved; this is the primary reason to buy an iPod.
Marc

As an audio engineer I must disagree with your conclusions regarding severity of the issue. The variations found (0.1dB) are simply too small to amount to anything significant. 1dB is DEFINED as the smallest volume change that a human can perceive, and 0.1dB is a variation far smaller than batch discrepancies in any group of identical speakers or headphones you care to name.
Furthermore, the so-called “incorrect timing response” is EXACTLY what one SHOULD see given a small change in treble response - this is systems engineering 101, folks. The time and frequency domains are different reflections of the same behavior.
I will add that this “timing response” is far more linear and of a smaller magnitude than any mechanical device (speaker, headphone) you will find on the planet. These mechanical necessities will simply swamp any small variation in the electronics.
As to spatial effects - I will step into deeper waters here and state that any that exist in 2 channel recordings are subject to an awful lot of much larger forces, such as room acoustics, headphone behaviors, and a lot of psychology. Spatial data simply is so poorly represented in 2 channel audio that when it seems to work it is often as not a fluke - the data just isn’t there in a reliable form. When we have recordings that actually represent multi-channel, multi-direction room reflections and multi-channel, multi-direction playback systems we might have something, but not today.
So, is the iPod perfect? No. But I sincerely doubt that these changes are in fact audible, even given good quality headphones. I have listened to far too many pieces of gear to believe that.

New Features and Improvements for CS6

IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
Ø³

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

NEW Kin TwoM Pricing / New Feature Phones

So, I've been checking the site compulsively for about the last two months...let me know if you think my logic on this is sound:
This week I noticed that the Kin OneM pricing went from 19.99 to FREE- it doesn't seem to be a promotional price either because it's listed as an "Online Discount" the exact same way the Crux and Cosmos are.
This leads me to believe two things:
1) Possibly the best news- with so many of the feature phones moving to FREE pricing, it's not a huge assumption that new feature phone devices may soon be on the way. (Please, please, please offer some compelling phones Verizon...)
2) The Kin TwoM will soon see a price decrease as well- probably to the 19.99 range making it almost impossible to pass up.
If number 1 turns out to be true, I'll be waiting a bit to see what comes out before I pull the trigger on the Kin TwoM.
There's been recent news that Verizon will be releasing devices "later this year" (whatever that means) with the Brew OS and Opera Mini preloaded- this probably means they've got some decent feature phones coming. I'm making that assumption based on the fact that the HTC Freestyle on AT&T has been pretty much regarded as the first device to be released like this...I'm thinking Verizon will want to compete with them at least at the beginning of a new standard of feature phones.
But, if it turns out that they again bring a line-up that only gets the teens excited, count me in for the Kin TwoM.
I'd prefer not to have to walk around the office with the same phone my boss's 15 year old daughter has...now there's an interesting water cooler chat:
"Bergman, nice phone...my tween daughter loves that thing..."

Somehow i feel the Kin phones won't be for sale for much longer. For those that need a basic phone with touch interface, there's other options which have a clearer interface. Including the Costco special Samsung SCH-u370. It's a Samsung u820/Reality that doesn't require data. No free wi-fi, but overall it's a much better phone. More ... finished, than the Kin phones. The Kins to me feels like a Windows Phone beta in comparison.
I do love how the tiles are laid out on the home screen better on the Kins than WP7 phones, there's no empty space above or to the right. And i love the favorites contacts screen of the Kins. WP7 phones though feels much sleeker and better zune like controls. And since you can load apps on WP7 your browser won't be outdated.
For current feature phones, i think the u370 is a top choice on Verizon. Good build quality, clear user interface, nice fonts and sizes, a useful sketch app, and the ability to doodle/notate on your pictures. Excellent value. Kin Onem, i can't reccomend. The phone dial numbers are too small on screen to be usable. Thicker than other feature phones, but because of the form factor, the side buttons are almost useless in one handed use. Kin Twom is much better in these aspects than the Onem. But certain interface font sizes are still too small.
The web browser (IE 6 Mobile) is not bad. Mobile and minimal pages loads quick on wifi. Although the back button is not easy to get to, and i haven't figured out if you can go forward in history. The url/title bar seems unfinished, i wish it would have swapped to the title after entering the url, thus saving space. The tiled bookmarks is a good idea, but page titles doesn't fit on the tiles. Even though the hardware is Tegra1, the Kin doesn't come with Flash lite. So alot of flash interactive buttons and streaming doesn't work. Infact simple mp3 playback and playlists doesn't stream in the browser. Which is sad.
One saving grace for the browser that i have found is Bing. Yep. http://m.bing.com/ Of course on first load it will be in landscape mode. And it only list the top 3 items of the menu, without being able to expand it. But go into portrait mode, and you should see the complete menu. Almost every web app on this menu worked well. My favorite is the directions. It almost makes up for not having google maps. Almost.
The strong points of the Twom is of course the browser + wifi, and zune. Which is like a zune hd lite. The FM radio made up for the lack of web streaming. I'm rediscovering FM thanks to it. And the zune desktop software is very modern and sleek. It made itunes look like it's made for accountants. Personally i love the Twom even though it has its quirks. The ui is unique, not quite WP7, and not like anything else. No branding as well. With FM radio i have wireless music anywhere, for free.
Here are some mobile sites that i found to work on Kin's IE6 Mobile:
http://m.bing.com/ --- search, local, traffic, directions (fantastic), movies, weather, favs.
http://mobile.local.com/ --- more direct/faster way to search for anything local
http://wapedia.mobi/en/ --- easier to load than mobile wikipedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
http://m.whitepages.com/ http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/
http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/ http://translate.google.com/m/
http://translate.google.com/m/
There's plenty of news & social websites that have mobile modes. I've tried cnn, twitter, and youtube. And they all worked well. Youtube mobile seems to be the only way you can stream anything with the browser. I've tried other mobile video/music sites, and no go.
The phone have frozen 4 times within the last day. This happens with heavy web browsing and music playback. Overall i can't recommend the Kin phones, although go ahead and buy one while you can if you know what you're getting into. I feel that future feature phones will be more polished like the Samsung u370/u820 rather than these Kins. I just wish MS, Verizon, Danger and PCD realize that they were on to something great with these Kins despite the marketing flop. I like the TwoM despite the beta feel of the software and hardware (WP7 still looks like it's a beta product).

ORACLE8 SERVER RELEASE 8.0.4 ENTERPRISE EDITION NEW FEATURES

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-08-16
Oracle8 Server Release 8.0.4 Enterprise Edition New Features
============================================================
97.12월 Solaris용 Oracle8.0.4가 출시된 것을 필두로 Q3 중에 Major Platform용
Oracle8.0.4가 나올 것으로 예상됩니다.
8.0.4는 Oracle8 최초의 Maintenance Release이고, 각종 Bug Fix를 비롯하여
다음과 같은 영역에서 기능을 보강하였습니다:
Oracle8 and Oracle8 Enterprise Edition product factoring
Time Series Data Cartridge
Visual Image Retrieval Data Cartridge
Legato Storage Manager integration
JDBC drivers
Advanced queuing enhancements
Easing of restrictions on parallel DML operations
Improvements to national character support
Improved automation of tablespace point in time recovery (PITR)
Improved Oracle Parallel Server diagnostics
Oracle Enterprise Manager enhancements
Net8 restrictions lifted
Oracle8 및 Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Product Factoring
Oracle은 두가지의 Oracle8 server로 구분되는데 이는, Oracle8 and Oracle8
Enterprise Edition입니다. 두 제품간의 기능이나 타겟 시장의 차이는 설명않습
니다. 8.0.3과 8.0.4의 가장 중요한 차이는 소위 "Factored"개념이 적용되어
8.0.3을 구매하면 licensing하지 않은 기능과 옵션도 install/use할 수 있던
것이 이제는 licesing한 기능과 옵션만을 사용할 수 있도록 제한된다는 것입니다.
- Error Message가 뜬다고 함. (제품기술실에서는 이 사항에 대해 확인 부탁드
립니다.)
Time Series Data Cartridge
8.0.4에는 새로이 Time Series Data Cartridge가 추가되는데, 이는 Temporal
Data를 데이타베이스에서 관리할 수 있는 것으로, 즉 시계열 데이타 타입을 정의
해서 사용할 수 있다는 것입니다. (예, 캘린더를 사용자 마음대로 정의할 수
있음) 타임 시리즈 카트리지는 관계형과 객체형 인터페이스를 모두 지원하며,
서드 파티는 카트리지에서 제공하는 인터페이스를 통해 솔루션을 개발할 수 있습
니다. (SHYANG BJN, This needs to have some good examples for better
understanding, also)
Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) Cartridge
타임 시리즈 카트리지 이외에 추가되는 또 하나의 카트리지는 VIR(이미지 정보
검색용) 카트리지로서, 이미지의 속성(색깔, 구조, 질감 등)을 이용하여 검색할
수 있도록 해 줍니다.
이는 Virage라는 회사의 이미지 검색 기술-소위 "패턴 매칭 알고리즘"-을 이용한
것으로 "find me objects that look like this one." 과 같은 질의가 가능합
니다.
Legato Storage Manager 통합
8.0.4는 Legato의 Storage Manager가 통합 컴포넌트로 제공됩니다. Legato
Storage Manager는 테이프 저장 매체 관리용 유틸리티로서 이제 Oracle8에서
이를 활용할 수 있습니다. 8.0.3에서는 미디어 관리 레이어(MML:Multimedia
Management Layer)를 제공하지 않았으며, 데이타를 테이프에 백업받기 위해서는
써드파티의 MML을 구매해야 합니다.
8.0.4에서 제공되는 Legato MML은 최대 4개의 테이프 드라이버에 동시 백업이
가능한 Limited Version입니다.
JDBC Drivers
8.0.4에는 두개의 JDBC 드라이버가 포함되는데, 이를 통해 자바 프로그래머들은
Oracle7과 Oracle8에 액세스할 수 있습니다. 이중 하나는 JDBC/OCI 드라이버라고
불리우며 클라이언트/서버 자바 애플리케이션이나 자바 기반 미들티어를 개발하는
개발자들을 타겟으로 합니다. 이 드라이버는 JDBC invocations 을 Oracle Call
Interface [OCI]용 call로 바꿔주어 SQL*Net이나 Net8으로 보내 오라클 데이타
베이스를 액세스하게 합니다.
또 하나는 Thin JDBC driver라고 하는 것으로 자바 애플릿과 자바 애플리케이션
개발자들을 위한 것입니다. 이 드라이버는 자바로 코딩되어 있어 완벽하게 JDBC
표준을 따르고 있습니다. Thin JDBC driver는 대략 150K 의 크기에 (압축되지
않으면300 K) 자바 애플릿과 함께 다운로드 될 수 있습니다. 이는 Oracle8만을
지원하며, Oracle7은 지원않습니다.
두 드라이버 모두 Javasoft의 JDBC 스펙을 따르며 JDK 1.0.2와 JDK 1.1을 지원
합니다. 이들은 현재 상용화 되어있는 대부분의 browsers, tools, 그리고 Java
VMs과 사용될 수 있고, 2 티어 이상의 멀티티어 컨피규레이션을 지원합니다.
Advanced Queuing 개선
8.0.4의 Enterprise Edition은 AQ기능이 보강되었습니다. 즉, remote queuing과
de-queuing, 그리고 OCI interface 등이 추가되었고, 큐의 통계를 제공하며
Oracle Enterprise Manager와 통합되었습니다.
이제 메시지가 로컬 큐로 부터 리모트 큐로 자동 전달되고, 따라서 분산
애플리케이션의 개발과 운영이 한층 용이해졌습니다.
API는 8.0.3에서 PL/SQL API만 제공되던 것이 이제 OCI 인터페이스까지 제공됨에
따라 AQ call 실행이 개선되고, AQ 기능을 활용하는 Pro*C애플리케이션 개발이
한층 용이해졌습니다.
8.0.4에서 제공되는 큐의 통계값은 평균 큐의 길이, 대기중인 메시지의 수, 시간
초과된 메시지의 수 등을 포함하며 테이블로 유지되어 SQL문으로 조회가 가능
합니다.
큐와 관련한 관리작업을 단순화할 수 있도록 OEM이 큐를 사용하는 사용자와
오퍼레이션을 관리합니다. 큐를 생성하고, 큐를 시작하거나 정지시키는 작업, 또는
큐의 사용자를 늘리는 등의 태스크를 이제 OEM을 통해 가능합니다.
Parallel DML Operations 관련 제한 완화
Oracle8 Release 8.0.4 Enterprise Edition은 parallel DML
(Insert/Update/Delete) operations에서 비롯되는 제한 사항을 더욱 완화시켜
줍니다. 8.0.3에서는 하나의 트랜잭션에서 하나의 병렬 DML 오퍼레이션만이 가능
하였으나 8.0.4에서는 복수 개가 허용됩니다.
단 한가지 제약은, 만일 어떤 트랜잭션내에서 테이블을 병렬로 수정하는 DML
오퍼레이션이 실행되면 그 트랜잭션내에서는 더 이상 그 테이블에 대해 조회
하거나 DML을 하지 못한다는 것입니다. (다른 트랜잭션으로 처리해야 함)
National Character Support 개선
Release 8.0.4는 Korean NCHAR character set과 European sort for the
UTF8 character data를 지원합니다.
또한 Tablespace Point in Time Recovery (PITR) 자동화가 개선되었다고
합니다. 본사는 비록 이 기능이 개선되었다고 해도 수행시키는데 필요한 단계
(step) 중 몇 가지는 아주 "critical"하다고 하여 필히 Oracle Worldwide
Support를 contact 하라고 조언합니다.
Oracle Parallel Server Diagnostics 개선
8.0.4는 Oracle Parallel Server diagnostics도 개선하였습니다. Fixed global
views (GV$views) 상에서의 성능이 개선되었으며, 새로 추가된V$ view 를 통해
DLM (distributed lock manager) lock을 볼 수 있습니다.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 개선
Oracle Enterprise Manager는 Release 1.5가 Release 8.0.4와 함께 사용됩니다.
릴리즈1.5에서는 Backup Manager component 가 개선되어stored Recovery
Manager scripts를 지원합니다. 즉, 이들 스크립트를 OEM에서 편집, 관리 가능
합니다. 또한 "report wizard"가 추가되어 Recovery Manager report commands
를 위저드의 순서대로 생성가능합니다.
OEM 1.5의 schema manager 역시 오브젝트를 지원하도록 개선되었습니다. DBA는
스키마 매니저를 이용하여 객체 타입과 객체 테이블을 생성, 드롭, 관리할 수
있습니다. 스키마 매니저는 이외에도 AQ기능도 관리할 수 있게 되었습니다.
사용자들은 스키마 매니저 인터페이스를 통해 큐에 주어지는 오퍼레이션을 관리
가능합니다.
Net8 제한 완화
Net8 Release 8.0.4 역시 제한이 완화되었고, 보다 손쉬운 관리를 위해 기능이
추가되었습니다. 일례로Net8이 이제는 DCE를 지원합니다. (8.0.3에서는 지원 안함)
Net Assistant는 리스너의 컨피규레이션을 할 수 있도록 개선되었고, 마침내
커넥션 풀링과 멀티플렉싱을 동시에 "enable"할 수 있게 되었습니다.
Migration 과 Interoperability
Oracle8 Release 8.0.4 는 마이그레이션 유틸리티를 이용 기존의 Oracle7
(Release 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3) 데이타베이스를 쉽게 마이그레이션 할 수 있습니다.
마이그레이션 유틸리티는 데이타 딕셔너리를 재구축해주고, 콘트롤 화일, 로그
화일 및 데이타 블록을 바꿔줍니다.
Oracle8 Release 8.0.3 데이타베이스는 8.0.4를 인스톨하는 것으로 업그레이드가
끝납니다.

New Feature Phones in the Future?

I have been looking at the feature phones that verizon has currently on their website and they haven't changed for some time. As of Feb 1 the data packages have changed and was wondering which of the feature phones currently on the list would require a $10 data charge? My son's line is up for an upgrade, but there are not any phones on the current list that are as good as the EnV Touch. What is bad is I am probably going to have to play the $10 to get him a phone that is like the EnV Touch and before Feb 1, I could have gotten him a Vortex for free and pay $15. I know we are all in the same boat and really don't have a clue what plan is next and when it will be, I am just a little frustrated.
Are there any new feature phones on the horizon that are not a flip, Ozone or Cosmo like phone? Are there any phones that might come out that are like the LG Dare or the LG Versa? Any phones like the HTC Smart for AT&T?
All the news on any of the blogs or boards are about smartphones, where is the love for us who have family plans already and can't afford a $29.99 data fee on our phones?
Thanks
P.S. - Someone might say, "Hey how about the Kin Two m?". Well, the there are problems with that phone and it seems the Verizon Wireless salesmen/women try to steer you away from it. Is there a $10 data package on that phone? It does not say on the website when you view that phone.

Thank you everyone for your responses. All of our Feature phones listed, can select the pay-as-you go $1.99/MB plan or a MB package. If you are looking for a non-slider all touch screen phone, the Pantech Crux is an option. Even though we do have any new information about new phones being released, I would like to invite you to sign up for email updates to be among the first to be notified of new phones and services. You can click this direct link: www.verizonwireless.com/emailupdates
I hope this is helpful.

Thank you everyone for your responses. All of our current Feature phones listed on vzw.com, can select the pay-per-use $1.99/MB plan or a MB package. If you are looking for a non-slider all touch screen phone, the Pantech Crux is an option. The Comos Touch offers a touch screen and slide out keyboard.
Once you select the phone and add to your cart, you will then be presented with data plan options to select.
Although we don't have any new information about new phones being released, I would like to invite you to sign up for email updates to be among the first to be notified of new phones and services. You can click this direct link: Email Updates
I'm sure we will be releasing new phones very soon. Thank you for your patience.

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide

Under section 1.5.9.8 Storage Snapshot Optimization:
The first bullet point is: "Database crash is consistent at the point of the snapshot."
I think that is supposed to be: "Database is crash-consistent at the point of the snapshot."
At the very least, that seems to make more sense to me. Googling around, there was a document on these features by EMC with that wording.

Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

Current debate in the graphics department is
Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
Are there other issues and if so what are they.
Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
too many vendors and not enough time.
Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
Any other responses are also welcomed.

10.5 - 300 Good or BAD new Features????
