A thank you to all Archlinux maintainers and contributors

Hi people,
I received a newer model laptop at work and decided to install Linux on it, since it came preinstalled with some newb OS (win something or other). I'm already a bit of a veteran with linux, and my favorite distribution has always been slackware. I have been following other distros though (like Ubuntu) but found them relatively untweakable. A while back (while still in release 0.5 or so) I read about Archlinux, and since it was a relatively slow day at work, I decided to try something completely new and decided upon Archlinux.
So far, I'm extremely happy with this choice. Some unexpected things happened (which is to be expected of course), like having to manually install openssh which was a bit of a surprise, but so far I've been able to get almost everything working with the help of the Wiki: X, KDE, touchpad, wifi with several network profiles (+ killswitch), vmware player, firefox + all the usual plugins, PPtP connection to work etc etc. and now everything 'just works'.
So here's a thank you to all the people involved in creating and contributing to the distro and it's knowledge base!
Kind regards,
Arnoud.

I'm not smart enough to program, or to be a developer, but I have contributed monetarily to Arch, and have put a lot of work into the Beginner's Guide and wiki.
I too am very thankful to the devs and community, and to be part of this excellent distro, by participating as much as I can.

A thank-you to the Arch developers and contributors

I have been using some form of Linux for the past 13 years, starting with Slackware on floppies, and ending with Arch. Before Arch, I used Gentoo for almost two years.
Now that I have been using Arch for around six months, all I can say is thank you. Packages are kept up to date, configuration files are well documented and simple to edit, and pacman has not once hosed anything on my system ('emerge --update world' on Gentoo was occasionally a painful experience).
Arch is fast, lightweight, and always up to date. I love it!
Thank you again to everyone contributing to the project. You're doing a wonderful job.
Oh, and I would also like to thank everyone here in the Arch community. These forums are friendly and helpful, which really does draw people to the distribution!

lmbo. You think that's painful? Surely someone around here in Arch remembers listening to the old screeching noises coming from the analog modem "handset", running at 300 baud. I remember jingling the modem handset on the 2 styrofoam receivers to get a "good" connection. What the hell were those old protocols called? I remember "Kermit", but not the others...
Oh yeah, and magnetic tape drives. I accidentally threw in an unmarked computer tape into my car stereo system deck once, thinking it was from "Judas Priest". For a second there, I thought JP came out with a new song...

As I can download programs to my iPad, such s games, etc.thank you.is my first iPad and I want to lose all the things that can make my Ipad 4 16gb.

hy how can i download programs to my ipad? how can i download games to my ipad? is my firts time with a ipad. please send to reply to my mail.thank you.

Tap on the App Store icon and browse for something. Follow the prompts to download it (Authorizing payment if necessary) and you'l have a new app.

THANK YOU for all the warnings!

Thank you all you poor people having problems with 2.0 for warning the rest of us against even trying. I'm waiting for probably a week at least before even attempting it. NOT worth messing up my phone and spending hours trying to fix it.

How do you manage all your vector and image resources?

I plan to reuse many images and vector arts I've created. As of now, if I want to reuse an image or vector, i have to oepn the file and copy/paste image vector. Is there a faster way than this? Is there a manager I do not know of?
Thanks!

You nissed an important part of the video if you hold the shift key when you drag and drop then the artt or image is embedded. If you do not hold any keys while drag and drop then it will be linked you have a choice.
The bridge offers you much more flexibility and information about the file as well include=ing the metadata, also you missed the point about the fact that as part of ID and Photoshop then have a panel, like any other panel, that accesses the Bridge, it is called the mini bridge. So you only would launch Illustrator and access the mini brif=dgte if it had the feature.
But since it does not have the feature like ID or PS then you need them both visible. I happen to always keep the bridge active in the background and bring it to the front when I need it with a keyboard short cut.
But as you are suggesting because you are not use to this work flow you have a hard time relating, but it is a powerful tool thaat allows you to work with many auto feaatures of PS, FW, AI etc.
All you have to do is read about the Bridge in the help files or check out the Bridge Forum and ask about the fetures and you will find it an incredibly powerful tool that will saave you time and many headaches.

Thank You to fox_m, Tom Wolsky, and Luis Sequeira1

I would like to publicly thank a few members here (fox_m, Tom Wolsky, Luis Sequeira1) who were very helpful with my questions regarding a video file I worked on for 8 months. The project involved numerous Motion 5 and Final Cut Pro X effects and was my first time ever using the applications. Thank you very much for all the help and if you're sort've interested in seeing how it all turned out then let me know how I can point you to the uploaded YouTube video without violating any forum rules and such.

Do you mean installing an earlier version on the firewire drive (in the external hard drive?)? As 10.4 came in the mac out of the box I'd need to get the cd then do something along the line of what you advised this guy https://discussions.apple.com/message/9429239#9429239 ? I guess the alternative is to do what he did and stitch the 5 min chunks together... would there be problems later on with exporting and quicktime do you know? A lot of time to waste if it wouldn't be possible..... thanks for the help

Couldn't agree more!!!

Q: How do you sync all open windows and tabs?

How do you sync all windows and tabs? And if this is not possible, how do you nominate which Windows' tabs are sync'd?
Sincerely,
Adam

You don't have a hot-corner for that anymore.
You use a gesture for that now. You can either 4-finger swipe down, or place the tips of your fingers in the center of your track pad. Your fingers should be bunched up and touching each other. To show all windows, expand your fingers, as if you were showing someone "5" on your fingers.

Thank you for scamming my Grandma and lying to me Verizon.

I recived the cool little upgrade your phone and recive a $100 GIFT CARD!!! It was sent to my number and mine alone, despite I had upgraded to a BB 8 months before. So my grandma decided to get into the world of smartphones. From my expirence BestBuy gives you anywhere from $25-100 off from Verizon stores SAME PHONE. We picked ours out and inquireid to the MANAGER of the local Clackamas BestBuy and she assures us they'll send us the code after we activate the phone and it would be sent to the device. Blindly we trust me assuming the manager must be one of the few people that work there who knows something. We wait 6 days and I see we have to buy the phone before the 30th so I figured turning it in ended by then. I called Verizon and the man on the phone assured me we had plenty more time to get it and do it and that the code would be sent to the device (Didn't bother to tell me when it ended even though I called concerned about it ending and not reciving the gift card). So time goes by and between that time I recive 3 new Droid X smart phones because THEY KEEP HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. The time exchanged decreased by 4 weeks between phones because the problems became more and more evident earlier on in the phones use (They also assured me each time I called their "Like New Phone" replacements we're just as good as the new ones.) Each time I took my time sending the package back and EVERYTIME they not only texted me that "I needed to return the device or recive a $500 payment on my bill" to mine AND both my grandmas phones BOTH. So time rolls around and I forget about the trade in deal due to my schedule and hers. I call them for the code (can't remeber the exact date) and ask for my code she gives me a FAKE CODE and sends me on my way. Again more time passes and I forget to do it. I tryed 2 weeks ago to put the code in and I find out its a fake code. I call them again and this time she gives me the REAL CODE but she knows the deal is over and lets me go as if nothing is wrong. Tells "Me oh thats showing up as expired let me do a report for you. I'll call you in two days." Now its today and no call from the lady and I had to call AGAIN she tells me the deal expired and it's IMMPOSSIBLE to get my gift card. They sent the code on the 31st OVER A MONTH after we purchased the phone. They sent it to only ONE of her phones and they sent it to the previous line that she hardly uses WHICH IS WHY SHE UPGRADED THE SMARTPHONE ON HER OTHER LINE NOT THE ONE THEY SENT IT TO. So we missed it due to lying tactics of BestBuy, Verizon by their "trained professionals", and them waitting so long for us to reddem it. THANK YOU VERIZON FOR ONCE AGAIN STEALING MONEY FROM MY GRANDMA. You know how to send a text when YOU need something but when a customer does YOU DON'T GIVE A FUDGE!!!!
P.S. WHENEVER you talk to a Verizon "trained" rep over the phone RECORD EVERYTHING THEY LIE TO YOU ABOUT!!!!!! They got me for the last time.

Being misinformed is not equal to being lied to. Asserting that you were lied to indicates that the company is being deceitful for some particular gain. Just as much as when people with say, when downtrodden, that they are just one small customer in the whole company as if to show that they feel insignificant, you are just one customer. Verizon does not gain much by deceiving you; instead, they lose a lot by doing so. More than this, the companies in the wireless industry undergo great scrutiny to ensure that their practices are honest. Saying that VZW is a company of thieves is silly and irrational.
Heh... I wouldn't say that. Then i guess you've never been scammed by a "reputable" company before? Sounds to me like it's a delay tactic indeed, companies do this a lot with time sensitive promotions. A company like verizon could get away with such a thing because they are as big as they are, so your assumption that they would lose a lot is "silly and irrational" because their loss would be negligible and would easilly be written off on their taxes... lol
So, where's the risk or loss? But, they did save $ on the rebate card though...

To all of you I want to Thank-you for all your help your great

THANK-YOU I just want to say it's nice to have the help with a great bunch of great people I like it when you get honest opinion and you get help that works also you have used the stuff and you know what works and what does not

It is always encouraging to read that someone is pleased with the Forum. Thank you, too.

No question, but thank you, your input to vmware and lion

Thank you so much. I`m living in germany and try to find now vmware 3. first in the Apple store.
Your help was very helpful.
Thank you

An interim thank you note to SAP, SDN, and Anton W ...

At the bottom of this page here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/Bio-InformaticBasicsInRelationtoScriptingLanguagesu2009
I've finally posed a scripting language problem (Coding Problem 5) that even Anton may not be able to solve in a day or less. (Up till now, Anton has been able to solve all presented problems in PHP very quickly.)
I don't know if Coding Problem 5 has a solution or not - I'm really curious to find out, assuming Anton is willing to continue to donate his time to this effort.
But in any event, I'd like to thank SAP and SDN for providing an environment where Anton and I can at least get this far working together.'
The WIKI has progressed to the point where I can start saying something specific about how Supply Chain Management is related to bioinformatics, and how SAP should start to try to establish a presence in this new vertical sector.
And also, of course, thanks to Anton ....with I could pay him full-time. I'd make us both rich within two years.
BTW - if any of you have ideas about Coding Problem 5, please post them in the thread I've starrted in the Scripting Lanuahes Forum here:
OK - finally a bioinformatic coding problem that may not be so easy ...
This is the Forum where Anton has been posting his answers to Coding Problems 1-4 - there's a thread for each of them.

How do you put all your photos and videos and apps back on your iphone, once it has been restored and updated

Dear Apple,
I just updated my iphone from my laptop using itunes and all my apps, music, photos etc.. were on my mobile. But when the update was finished, my phone did not have all the apps it had on before it had completely restarted and I tried to restore my iphone using my laptop but nothing had changed and all my things that were on my iphone were gone and I have tried to look on websites to get back my photos and everything but there was no answer to my question.
Please help..thankyou
Hannah

First, you don't have to use such a large font setting, most of us can read just fine. Did you backup your phone before doing the update? Did you reload that update after you restored your phone? All apps can be reloaded from the App Store if needed. Have you always used this computer for all of your updates and backups? Your music can be synced from your iTunes library again also. If you did not backup your pictures or videos to your computer, you may have lost them.

How do you 'mark all' mail messages and then delete in Iphone 5?

I cannot do a mass delete of my emails any more in iphone 5 - how do you get the edit functions back onto the screen once you have 'marked all' the messages?

As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like.

Can you remove all flags, colors, and star ratings at once from a group of selected photos?

Please advise...thank you

Yes, there is more than one way, but I recommend being in grid mode in library, with target photos selected, then what you do to one is done to all, for the most part... (another way is to "context-click" selected photos in the filmstrip...).

A thank you to all Archlinux maintainers and contributors
