Advice needed :please help

Hi,
We have an application that has 2 database tables that hold presentation information as:
Table :- screens_info
Contents of a record :- what is the background color , title , link colors etc. for a screen in the application
Table :- tables_info
Contents of a record :- what is the format of a column of a table that needs to be displayed such as heading , data-type , textbox/listbox etc. , needs to be presented in presentable version , width
I was thinking for a java solution and use XML instead of database presentation tables. There will be multiple XSL and XML for this presentation info.
I need to justify this approach to my colleagues.
Here are some points:
FOR -->
1. Database is not a good way for storing presentation info. whereas XML is
2. Later on we can change it easily if required as well as talk more effectively with other applications ( which is our need in near future )
3. For each screen load and reload , we need not access database presentation tables. Improves performance
Against -->
1. It's fine for saying not to store the data in database , but ultimately we have to access the XML and the files etc.
2. I am planning to use XSQL servlet from Oracle that basically will handle the query execution part and return a proper output as I am going to specify with a stylesheet
This poses a danger in case tomorrow we plan to deal with some other database than Oracle. So instead of that I can go for java beans and XMl parsers.
I am not able to exactly specify the advantages of storing presentation info. in XML.
Please guide me and correct if I am wrong. I badly need help on this decision.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
That's a good point.
Related question is as I am going to use XSQL servlet, if we shift tomorrow some other database than oracle , XSQL servlet is of no use I guess and I should go for parsing and all by myself. Isn't it?
But can you tell me the major advantages of using XML in my case?
Thanks-
Kirti

Urgent advice needed please help!

I need a new laptop asap that is the urgency part over with!
The question is: How well would prem pro cs6 operate on a laptop system with:
Intel i5 4200M dual core 3mb cache 2:6/3.2Ghz processor
8gb ram
nvidia gt740 2gb
Keeping in mind I will mostly be just editing canon dale 1080p footage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
budget for laptop is 800 euro. So far the best all rounder for vid editing is: Toshiba s70-a-11h
cheers

That unfortunately is a common misconception with GPU acceleration. GPU acceleration handles certain frame features such as scaling interpolation, and some effects. It current does not handle decoding/encoding with Adobe. That is handled by the CPU. Because the Decoding has to start the process the CPU determines the overall performance/load on the GPU at any point in time. This also means that at any point in time the CPU is not necessarily handling less load. The CPU is just more focused on what it has to do such as decoding/encoding and many effects. All of this means no I dont think the 740M will change the user experience enough to stop the requirement for rending the timeline to playback. It will help but that is all. The CPU is really low for this type of compression. Pro Res or DNxHD would probably work ok on that CPU simply because the compression level is much lower and they are very efficient codecs with regards to performance. I would suggest looking at Cineform if you need to get this laptop and the realtime playback is not good enough for your workflow. Cineform allows you far better performance with more limited specs.
BTW 8GB of ram is really low for GPU acceleration and HD. The biggest current mistake people are making is configuring systems without nearly enough ram to optimally handle the GPU acceleration. GPU acceleration requires a significant amount of ram because of how it works and transits through your system ram. Even if a system has the fastest CPU and best GPU, the performance is going to be poor if the system ram is to low. Most of the power available in that config would not even be utilized.

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

DropBox v TimeCapsule (advice needed, pls help)

Hi everyone,
I need advice on how to set up my home system in terms of using Dropbox, Hard drive usage and home networking.
Please bear with me while i explain my situation. I run my own Graphic Design business from a home office, I have an 27" iMac and i have a 13" Alu Late 2008 Macbook which i use for my work. I mainly work on my iMac most of the time and then use my macbook in evenings (in front of TV) and when out of the house/office. My iMac has a 1TB hard drive and my Macbook has a 160GB hard drive. I also have a 3TB Lacie external hard drive storing all of my files.
I have a Pro Dropbox account so i have just over a 1TB of storage there too. My plan was to use the Dropbox as my main file storage so it syncs all the files on bot macs and i don't have to waste time dragging files to different backups (i can also use files remotely when i am on my Macbook out of the office or downstairs etc), get a program like Crash Plan to make a backup of everything and then have a physical copy on my Lacie drive just to ensure i am safe every which way.
The problem i have is that my macbook's hard drive is only 160gb and as i use a lot of large files my dropbox just eats up my hard drive and i can't use all the files i have on my dropbox. I have tried to think of lots of ways around syncing but the way Dropbox works is exactly what i want to do. I have considered changing my plan and buying a TimeCapsule and use that as a home network then use Dropbox if i need anything out of the house. So i suppose my questions are:
Do i buy a TC and use that for my home network to save on hard drive space and mean i can work in any room but still sync?
Or, do i buy a new 1TB hard drive for my 2008 macbook so Dropbox can save on there and sync files?
Or, buy a new macbook pro (only problem is the new ones use a flash drive which won't hold the dropbox), i can really afford this option either at the moment?
Please help me out guys as i need things to just work as i am pretty busy and can't decide which to do to help me out...any suggestions welcome.

Once you boot a computer from SSD you will never go back to mechanical disks ... at least for boot.
Buy the biggest you can afford.. 500GB SSD are now around $270 here.. you don't need the best.. buy the samsung 840 evo. It might not last as long as the more expensive pro series but that does mean much for a 2008 laptop. You are stretching it already.
I have a 256GB SSD in a 2011 MBP 15" with a high res screen I got on ebay cheap. It is a great machine.. or was until i put Mavericks on it.. I will take it back to Mountain Lion when I get a chance. I run an i7 mini also 2011 with the small video card they had..
I got it cheap from ebay.. of course.. It has a 256GB sandisk drive.
Media Name: SanDisk SDSSDH2256G Media
I just got another one of these with the original 750GB hard disk and it feels so so slow.. you end up totally spoiled.. everything opens and closes instantly in the mini with SSD and the other one is so so slow. It is getting the new 500GB SSD.
I have done a few of these now for friends.. it does end up costing more than a current model mini.. but other than missing USB3 which is a pity.. they are a great little computer. And with SSD only near totally silent.. it occasionally spins the fan up if it has been running hard for a while. I am getting old and grumpy and noisy rattling computer fans are more than I can stand.
I have done some research into the Seagate SSHD and it seems that it isn't ideal for people looking to crunch larger files which would probably be me
Yes, I warned you the SSHD is not much good for very large files.. Even so a modern 7200rpm drive should work a lot better.
Note the DVD drive will be sata 1 so yes the SSD should replace the current hdd.

Yes. Since you're restoring as a new device, it doesn't really matter what computer you use. Just make sure you sign into iTunes using YOUR Apple ID first.
You should be aware, by design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Every time you switch computers, ALL iTunes content will first be erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the new computer.

Hi all, had a moving home 12 days ago, my ip profile is 56.56 but I only get a average of 25mb throughput on Ethernet. I also wanted a data extension but the subby made a right mess of my wall and the data ext kills my bb when connected, so I have had to completely remove it and buy a long white Ethernet lead. Any advice please guys? Ps my bras is 58mbps
Thanks

The subcontractor left the bt socket off the wall, holes in my fresh painted skirting board as he didn't want to get his drill so tried to mount on the skirting, also tried to mount the modem on skirting! . He said do I want to mount it all!? I said yes due to the mess he was making of my new house. I'm field staff for a rival company so the mounting was no problem. But what he did do was use telco wire from x2 terminals from the I plate I think it's called to data socket. When ethernet plugged into socket my bb drops? Hence I had to take it away. When he left I was getting approx 40 meg throughput, this has dropped to 25 ish since. My brass rate is still 56.56 dropped from 58mbps. I have made good his damage so won't raise a claim. But if anyone could offer advice, that would be great. I would also like to communicate with a moderator if poss? Thanks

Virus on mac pro...help/advice needed please.

Hi all,
I've just run Clamxav scan on my mac pro & it's showing an infected file in my USER directory, named    .rserv    & the infection name is   OSX.Flashback-8
Tried to delete this file in Clamxav & it says its moved it to trash, but when i look in trash its empty! Then, when I rerun the scan it again says the file is still there in my users directory. However I can't find this file using Finder. Clamxav says it's located at: users/my name/.serv
Can someone please tell me 1 - what is this file?   & 2 - How the **** do i get rid of it?
btw, the 1st time i ran the scan it showed 2 other suspicious files that I sent to trash & then emptied the trash... one was a file called download.dmg (with the infection name Adware.OSX   which was in my downloads folder) & the 2nd file name was called Tube2FileSetup.exe (infection name Trojan.Agent-290842   again this was in my download folder). These no longer appear to be on my system.
Thanks in advance.

your mac isn't running 10.6.8 and therefore wasn't updated with Apple's latest security patches. And I guess you missed the "memo" and alerts months ago.

Connection Advice Needed Please

Hi All
I moved house over a week ago and asked to transfer my BT Services over (but thats a whole other shambolic issue). At my previous house, my HH5 was connected to the Master Phone Socket and I had Infinity 2 Unlimited. However, the new house already has FTTP installed - with an ONT box and back up battery box on the wall.
I've not been able to get any advice from BT, but can someone tell me if I just plug my devices straight into the wall mounted box or do I plug my old HH5 into the ONT box and use my old wireless SSID as usual? Or do I still just plug my HH5 into the main phone socket?
I did not ask for the FTTP super fast service, so they should be activating my old 76MBps Infinity 2 service.
Many thanks
Liz

Hi EWINMK17
If you have FTTP and already have the ONT (Openreach optical network box) and backup battery installed, then all you need to do is connect your Home Hub 5 via the WAN port (may be coloured red) on the back of the Home Hub 5 to the LAN1/Port1 port on the ONT with an ethernet cable.
Are there any lights light up on the ONT?
Here's some information about the lights on the ONT box: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36945/~/fibre-home-phone-service%3A-lights-on-the-ope...
Have a look at page 11 on the user manual on how to connect your HH5 to the ONT here http://btsupport.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/3309418/1381227399/redirect/1

1. It's as good, if not better.
2. According to Apple, the same material was used on the 5th Gen iPods as the Nano. You can draw your own conclusions on scratching issues.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. No, you need to upgrade to iTunes 6 in order to get video functionality. You won't need to reinstall playlists (as you put it). Playlists will remain intact after the upgrade from iTunes 4 to iTunes 6.

Cross-Browser (BASIC Functionality) Issue - Need to boot to Windows in parallels to use the websites I need - PLEASE HELP!

Hey Everyone,
Let me lead with my system specs. If you need more info, please let me know and I'll be happy to supply them. I'll be sitting by my computer all night, glaring at my Snow Leopard Install Discs and hoping that you guys don't say that the only thing left to do is a clean install of SL, then re-upgrade to lion.
So, a few months ago, I noticed that certain components on websites wouldn't work. They would be pretty basic - simple buttons at first. Then certain submission forms wouldn't process. Then, recently, there has been a complete loss of video playback on certain websites. And the final straw, the Vuze software update button will not click through.
In order to work around these browser break downs, I've had to launch Linux/Windows 7 or 8 (depending on wether or not I wanted to make myself even MORE frustrated by using metro) to do my web browsing.
Here are a few examples. Again - ALL these websites work in other operating systems.
Groupon - via http://www.groupon.com/subscriptions/new?division_p=philadelphia
The "Continue" button does not function. It will depress on click, and highlights on mouseover, but it will not lead to the next page.

Math Warehouse - via http://www.mathwarehouse.com/quadratic/quadratic-formula-calculator.php
This site houses a calculator for the quadratic formula and other nerd tools - but essentially, just a standard forms with fields. Clicking the "Solve the Quadratic Equation" button does not work. In fact, in this case, mousing over causes the pointer to turn into a text curser.
Picture below.
Vuze - Internal App
Clicking this button does nothing. Nothing at all.
I've posted a similar thread when this first happened, where I included activity monitor and consol logs, but no one could make heads or tales of them. one guy even said there was nothing wrong.
i know steve jobs said that macs were the best hardware around for running windows. I don't think that this is what he meant.
Any and all help, is really, really appreciated.

Russian and Chinese Flash movies - general advice needed please

Hi all -
This is a plea for some general 'jumping off' advice. I am an experienced Flash developer but now have a request to convert an existing xml-fed movie into both Russian and Chinese. I speak neither of these languages so we have had the content of the movie translated by a professional translation service.
The movie contains both png/jpgs with embedded text - created in Fireworks and also (for the bulk of the content) external xml files. I still need to be able to develop in an English environment - so purchasing a full version of Flash/Fireworks in Russian/Chinese would be folly. How should I go about this? If it is a matter of fonts - where should I get them from? And are there any considerations to be met with regards the xml files? Basically, I would really appreciate some general advice on this subject as it is completely new ground for me.
Much obliged,
Hugh

Thank you. Having the airports all in proximity was the key and, of course, I eventually found the same advice in an apple help file. I set the new AExtreme up as WDS main with an ethernet disk for backups and music. An old AExtreme as WDS remote serves the Cube by ethernet and a usb printer. An AExpress as WDS remote serves one stereo. The other AExpress is WDS relay serving another stereo and helping the network reach the office where the last old AExtreme is WDS remote with another USB printer. The 3 mac laptops are happy. I have yet to try any PCs.
