$50K, How would you setup 4man Edit Suite?

We just got a nice cash infusion and I'm looking to finally setup our office. Could those of you with suites or the know let me know what I should generally have for a networked 4 man bay. Gonna hit the Apple store on 5th and Tek Serve but wanna have a clue if they're going overboard in their sales pitch. $50K is the goal with wiggle room either way. I'm assuming sata raids, some hd comp & ntsc broadcast mons, backup sys, FCS licenses, etc. We're gonna be working with mostly Canon hdv cams & the Panny HVX for special occasions. Also, there'll probably only be 2 editors working most of the time (we have interns but never know how many) so maybe it should only be a 3 or even 2 seat (more equipment, plugs) setup? Thx.

Good feedback from you all, exactly what I was looking for. We actually have @$120K but who wants to spend it all in one place? I see I need to get better clarification from my partner since he's the one who deals with the interns, usually editing with them at their school. Tho' it looks like we're gonna want shared storage for two and maybe just a third offline setup. Shane & Zebulun good call on the HD mons, definitely only need one station for all CC & BS. And we can definitely wait for NAB. Andy C, sorry I didn't mention before, but we're not doing films. We're one of the original pioneers in the NYC Street Dvd Magazine scene plus we do about one small label music video per month. Andy M and RedTruck thanks for the links, I used to be up on all the HD setups by following Mike Curtis' HD For Indies blog, but it's been a year since I've read it faithfully. Wes, Mark & Patrick thx. I'm definitely a shop around guy and could probably piece that $100K setup for $15K less if I was willing to build some racks like in my audio days and buy some non Apple parts. Again, thx for your time.

How would you setup users to have different versions of Flash Player?

I am looking to test some setups with different versions of Flash, but wanted to know how to setup one user to have Flash Player Version 6, one with version 7, 8, etc.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Russ

Create a new folder named Internet Plug-Ins inside the Library folder of the home folder of some of your user accounts, and move the different versions of the plugin into this folder, one per user account. The copy of the Flash plugin in the main Library folder is accessed when an account doesn't have a copy in its home folder.

Disable the pop-up message box "How would you like to open this file" to open pdf file??

Hi,
is there any way i can stop the pop-up box displaying to open pdf file in sharepoint document library? Right now whenever i am trying to open pdf file, asking "how would you like to open" Read only or edit mode. currently MIME Type is setup
but still pop-up message box.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi ,
As far as I know, This is a default feature. and is not recommended to delete or deactivate this pop up.
This is a feature of office and there is a dll called owssupp.dll which is responsible for getting the popup to open.
You can go to IE tools> addon settings and deactivate the above dll (sharepoint open document class). But if you do so, then the other office office files which are word/excel/pptx etc.. would aslo gets affected and they also wont get the popup.
Hope this helps.

How do you setup LibreOffice?

I downloaded LibreOffice from the net. The script that came with it copied it to Applications. How do you setup LibreOffice so it is invoked when you open a document, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing or database?

For the documents (.e.g, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, AppleWorks, others) that you want to be opened by LibreOffice when you double-click them, select each icon type, and either press cmd+I (eye) for Get Info, or control+click on the icon to show the contextual menu, and then select Get Info.
In the Get Info panel (that may popup underneath Safari), there is an Open with section, and a default application is shown. Change this to LibreOffice, and then click the Change All… button. You will get a Are you Sure dialog, and then press Continue. If you did this for a .docx icon, then a future Word .docx files will be opened by LibreOffice. You would have to repeat this process for any .doc icon as well.
You can also drag and drop files on the LibreOffice icon in your Dock, if you dragged and dropped it from its /Applications location onto the Dock. When you first launch LibreOffice, you will get a dialog that has an open on it. Just press open, and you will not be challenged with this dialog again. If you were to click the Open Files part of the LibreOffice opening panel, then click again on the File types in the document chooser, you would see the extensive list of documents it can open.
If you have a single Page PDF, you can drop it on the LibreOffice icon, and you now have an editable PDF document. Don't overlook the PDF manuals located on the LibreOffice site They were written in LibreOffice Writer.

This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

How would you split a 10 GB root partition? Would you?

The system seems to be booting a little slow lately (been using Arch for more than a year now) and I was thinking of splitting the root partition to improve performance.
Right now the entire OS is on a single partition. I don't have a /home partition but I can see it's usefulness:
- files on /home are, in general, more frequently written (browser cache especially), which means less fragmentation for the root partition
- having a noexec flag for /home so no potentially dangerous software will run from there (and why would you need to run software from /home?)
- my /var folder takes up 102 MB, 9.706 files in 4.846 folders. Is there a filesystem that will deal well with many small files ? ReiserFS maybe ?
So how would you split (gigabyte-wise) a 10 GB partition into /, /home and /var ? And would you ? I've been told from the IRC channel that it makes zero sense. At least not for desktop use.
PS: I'm also switching from i686 to x86_64, so please take that into account as well. For instance I noticed that 64 bit software usually takes up more space than 32 bit.

How would you configure your database?

How would you configure your disks with those specifications?
General Database Characteristics:
os is Oracle Enterprise Linux 64 bit
Enterprise Edition
180GIG size database.
High "oltp" environment.
Estimated growth of 40 to 60GIG/year
20GIG of archivelogs/Day
Flashback time is 24 hours:120GIG of flashback space in avg
Local backup. Full database copy, then incremental is the preferred method.
That way, if a datafile goes bezerk, replace with backup datafile then recover.
Or if only a few corrupt block, block recover with rman.
BTW: Backup is done locally first, then send to another server, than on tape.
Archivelogs is duplexed on another server.
General Hardware Info:
Server Platform: Dell PowerEdge 1950
16 GIG RAM
2 * 64 bit CPU's
2 * local 300G/15rpm disks
Storage: Dell PowerVault MD3000
15 * 300G/15rpm Disks
Possibility for 17 disks here.
Here is my configuration so far:
OS+ oracle binary + Online Redo Logs Copy 1 + Control File Copy 1: 2 disks raid 1
flashback + backup + Online Redo Logs Copy 2 + Control File Copy 2: 4 disks raid 1 or 10
archivelogs: 2 disks raid 1
Temporary Datafiles: 1 disk no raid
UNDO Datafiles: 2 disks raid 1
Datafiles 6 disk raid10
total 17 disks: + spare disks on the side of one ever fails
1) How would you configure it with those specs?
2) Is there missing info to make a particular decision?

Here is my reply concerning data separate from index files:
See http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/751 for the complete article.
"Why wouldn't you keep indexes separate from their tables?! Because doing so makes no difference to performance... and I patiently explained that a table and its index are never accessed simultaneously by a single user so that contention between them cannot arise. And yes, in a multi-user system, of course the two could be accessed simultaneously -but so could two tables, or two indexes. "

How would you justify extra cost of Windows Pro Version

Well remote desktop access is only possible in the Pro version. You are also future proofing your organisation when it gets big enough to warrant AD control. The cost of Pro when bought with a PC is only very little compared to the £100+ you seem to get charged when you upgrade at a later date.
With shopping around I see no price difference between Home and Pro PC's (in fact with the host of special offers at the moment they seem to be cheaper...

So recently my friend had been asking me why would we need to purchase a pro edition if we are not running an AD. How would you guys justify the extra cost of purchasing Pro version of windows compared to home editions in a small business environment to your management?

How would you flip an ImageView along its vertical axis?

Hello,
How would you flip an ImageView along its vertical axis? This would help me reduce the number of image files I would require in my project.
thanks
jose

Rotation about x_axis should works (javafx 2.2):
Translate flipTranslation = new Translate(0,imageView.getImage().getHeight());
Rotate flipRotation = new Rotate(180,Rotate.X_AXIS);
imageView.getTransforms().addAll(flipTranslation,flipRotation);Regards.

How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac G4 with Panther OS X 10.3.9 ?...

How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac apple computer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G4
with Panther OS X 10.3.9
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSX10.3 ?...

There is a Ubuntu 10.4 version for Mac with PPC architecture; not sure
how that would work in the computer you may consider running it in.
Some leads on that kind of discussion can be found by using a Google
search, and the words: *ubuntu for PPC G4 Mac* + read through results.
Or choose to search using these terms: *Open Source Linux PPC G4 Mac*
A few results point back to Apple Discussions, where there were inquiries.
Note the version of a Linux-type of OS, compatible with Mac PPC hardware,
on the following page-link: *• Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)*
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
{You would have to put the image, as downloaded from such a site, on a CD
for use as an Installer; then follow any instructions as available to install it.}
An old page (from 2007?) with some details, some not up-to-date,
may be of help to a limited degree, from here: Ubuntu PPC wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Is%20Ubuntu%20supported%20on%20PowerPC?
Or: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
See their home page to look for other information on the site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
These wiki groups are like communities, with rules & other such considerations; you
may be able to also find +Open Source+ sites with information and builds of suitable
Linux versions capable of running well in an older PPC Mac. There are newer ones
that would have no problem on a newer Intel-based Mac, of course.
• Mac Linux Links: (perhaps too dated)
http://lowendmac.com/linux/index.shtml
• Comparison of Linux distributions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_Linuxdistributions
Hardware support in the older PPC G4 Mac computer should be considered, in order
to have the better experience possible with the Linux-based OS; and some specs in
an old Mac may not be ideal. The graphics processor unit and amount of dedicated
RAM for the graphics alone, could make a difference; depending on what you had in
mind when running a Linux-based OS in a PPC Mac. So consider hardware specs.
Some hardware in the computer may or may not be supported by the Software; and
then, there may be some problems implementing a Linux OS version in your Mac.
If you had an old Mac Mini (PPC or early Intel) & considered running Linux, there's
a page of general ideas worth a peek: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
You may not have enough room on the existing internal hard disk drive inside the
iMac G4, for a complete OS X 10.3.9 or Later OS X, and a partition for Linux in it.
And, you may find through reading further, if you need to (or don't) start fresh and
have a partition for each different OS, or not. For organizational purposes and ease
of removing one system or the other, a partitioned hard disk drive may be best.
There probably is a way to have Linux on an external bootable hard disk drive; &
that would have to be compatible with the Mac hardware requirements to be seen
and used by the computer, and also the ability to restart from Linux into Mac OS X
would have to exist in the system software. Hopefully without incident.
You will have some degree of a learning curve in this matter, from reading up on
the details of any viable Linux versions, through the ones likely to work in your
old PPC G4 Mac, and then if there are more than two or three good ones, of those
what one would be most likely to be worth the additional effort to attempt to use in it.
Depending on the version and specifications of your iMac G4 computer, there could
be different versions of linux systems capable of running it. However, some items
may not be supported which you would need to have working, such as wi-fi internet
and sleep mode, etc; among others. Searching the net does bring up more info.
{You may find, that going to OS X 10.4.11 would be more worth the effort, in that
most everything would 'just work' and you can still find many good software bits
and some fine freeware or low cost shareware to run on it. Linux versions vary
so much on what they can and cannot do, I would not recommend running it.}
Since I am not an expert in the matter, hopefully someone with a experimental time
and results in a similar vintage Mac as yours will reply and give you insightful info.
Good luck & happy computing!
