Alternative Operations

Dear All,
I have a routing with 2 operations, and an alternative sequence branching in/out for operation 0020.
Now I have created a Production order, finished operation number 0010, finished half of operation 0020 and confirmed half the quantity, now the machine stops and I want to use the alternative machine.
How can I do that?
It wouldn't allow me to use the alternative in confirmation, only allows me to choose it while creating the production order. How can I fix this issue?

Rafik,
There are three types of sequences you can maintain in the routing, i.e. standard, alternative & parallel.
As soon as the order is created in which this routing is the master data, any one sequence either standard or alternative sequence gets copied to the order.
That means the sequences which are alternative to each other never be a part of the order i.e. you can maintain those in the routing but while order creation only one out of them gets part of the order. Also you can not maintain alternative sequence in the order.
Only parallel sequence can be maintained in the order.
That's the reason I suggested you to maintain the same.
If the main work center is under maintenance then you can replace the work center with the desired work center. Why secific need to maintain the another sequence?
Hope this helps you.

Installing Multiple Operating Systems with grub and Arch Linux

NOTE: Please keep in mind that there are many different ways to achieve this same result using various loop and ramdisk methods, read this with a separate window to jot down your comments and suggestions... this is ongoing for me so any help would be appreciated!
Read the full article at Install Multiple Os without cds
This is my first post and I plan on making this topic an official HOWTO with www.tldp.org.
I have been into the computer security scene since 1990, but I realized that I had very little experience with the various LInux, Unix, and alternative Operating systems out there.
I have a CD-RW drive but being a struggling computer security researcher I had no money for blank cd-recordables. What follows is how I managed to install various operating systems on my computer (1 hard drive) without having to burn to a CD the ISO and then boot from that.
I first partitioned my 120GB harddrive into 10 partitions, the 2nd partition is a small swap and the last partition is extra large because it holds all the ISO images..
I then wrote a small shell script to automatically download (I love wget!) the following.
OpenBSD
IpCOP
Libranet
Arch-Linux
Fire
Local Area Security
Packet Master
Devil-Linux
FreeBSD
Knoppix
Helix
Gentoo
Yoper-Linux
NetBSD
RedHat
Slackware
The script also downloaded Installation manuals and md5 checksums.. (let me know if I should post... its pretty unsophisticated
I installed Slackware (personal favorite) on hda1 using my last blank CD-R, note that I do not have a separate boot partitino. (Should I?). I also installed grub on the MBR. I love grub, if you read through the man pages and all info you can find about grub, you can learn a whole lot. Grub has much more features and capability than lilo, even though lilo comes installed by default with slack.
I organize my kernel situation as follows... In my /boot directory, I mkdir KERNEL, CONFIG, MAP, INITRD and that is a good way for me to keep my kernels and everything organized.. Another good way is a separate dir for each new kernel.
Since Arch-Linux is a solid distro, I'll use that as a first example.
Here is the Arch-Linux section of my shell script
goge Arch-Linux
$w http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/archlinux/arch-0.6.iso
$w http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/archlinux/arch-0.6.md5sum
$w http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/install/arch-install-guide.html
md55
cat arch-0.6.md5sum
md5sum arch-0.6.iso
md55
The first thing to do is to mount the downloaded ISO image so we can use it as if it were an actual CD.
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cdimage /mnt/cdrom
Where cdimage= the ISO image. EX. /usr/local/src/ISO/Linux/Arch-Linux/arch-0.6.iso
This mounts the iso as /mnt/cdrom.
Next you need to copy /mnt/cdrom to a separate partition for the booting process. So mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda9. ( I prefer reiserfs or even XFS to ext but if you use something other than ext2 you could run into some problems because some of the installation kernels and initrds don't include support for reiserfs and so can't recognize the files. Although you could use mkinitrd to create a new initrd with reiserfs support, that might be pushin it IMO... I use the 9th partition consistently for this. I know there is a "right" way to copy the /mnt/cdrom files so everything stays the way it is supposed too, using tar or cpio, but I'm lazy so I just do cp -rp.
(What is the tar or cpio commands to copy with correct permissions etc??)
So you mount the 9th partition as whatever, say /mnt/hd and then copy the files. Now what?
Now edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the specific options to boot arch-linux installation.
A good idea is to find the isolinux.cfg file somewhere on the distro cd, this will tell you what to include in the menu.lst.
Here is the section in my menu.lst
title Arch Install
root (hd0,8)
kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 root=/dev/rd/0
initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img
This should be self-explanatory. The root (hd0,8) is pointing to partition 9. So the rest of the commands start from partition 9.
When you experience problems, remember you can always edit the grub boot options by typing 'e' and then edit the section. Also, a good idea is to include several variations in your menu.lst so you can easily try other ways to boot efficiently. And, remember to read up on all the installation guides that come with your distro, specifically, hard-disk installs.
There are special cases, Gentoo, has a semi-new compressed filesystem called squashfs. BTW, this is AWESOME, so check it out. It has to be compiled into the kernel, so some work is in order, but use this recompile to optimize your kernel. You can get the squashfs patch for almost any kernel. I use the latest stable 2.6 kernel. Squashfs is incredible and although I don't think you need it to install from ISO, you do need it to expand the livecd.squashfs filesystem that comes with the cd.
Heres a sample Gentoo section from my menu.lst
title Gentoo Install
root (hd0,8)
kernel /isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0
initrd=/isolinux/gentoo.igz init=/linuxrc acpi=off looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs cdroot vga=791 splash=silent
A nother' tip is the shell that is provided if you experience problems, typically busybox or ash. The key tools to get you going from here is mount and chroot. Sometimes you will need to manually create a simulated file system and then chroot into it. For instance, you might have to create boot, etc, bin, directories on the target partition.
I generally install each OS onto the next partition (careful of the logical partition) and add it to my menu.lst after install. A good idea is after installation, copy the kernel and initrd(if there is one) to the slackware(or whatever) boot partition on hda1. I copy kernels to /boot/KERNEL/ and initrd's to /boot/INITRD, then menu.lst is more organized...
You then need to add an updated section to your menu.lst (just comment out the install section for later)
Here is the finished arch-linux section from menu.lst
title Arch Linux 6
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 ro root=/dev/hdc3
This doesn't use my convenient boot/KERNEL/vmlinuz26 as you can tell by setting the root to partition 3.
***NOTE: Make a backup of MBR using dd and save to floppy, also backup the partition table to floppy, using cfdisk or parted. And boot disks (I use 1 with grub, and 1 with slack, and tomsbootdisk) will invariably come in handy. Tomsbootdisk is recommended, and make the grub boot disk when you install grub. install to floppy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The final result after some fun experimenting, is when I boot, I have a cool grub boot screen come up with the option to boot into whatever OS I want, this is handy for multiple reasons. One good thing to do after this is to port scan and vuln scan each OS, after you update of course. Write this stuff down and you will know the weaknesses/strengths of the various OS's.
I can boot a custom Firewall, snort, or multiple honeypots using this procedure, as well as a graphical kde environment with a kernel optimized for graphics and my processor/architecture, or an environment devoted to forensics or even an environment suitable for programming.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
P.S. Some of the cooler alternative operating systems are BeOS 5, EOS, ER_OS, V2_OS, and my personal favorite Menuet. Menuet is 100% assembly graphical operating system that fits on a floppy. Its f'in money!
This should be a good enough example to get you started, this kind of thing should be learned and not just copied... Knowing how to do this stuff could prove to be exceptionally useful...

Alternative sequence

hello,
any body please give me idea. how to create alternative sequence of operation in recipe. i 10 - 50 sequential operation. if necessary as per customer i want to run 60th operation other wise i want to stop at 50th operation. so that i want to use alternative operation sequence. how to do this.
thanks advance
bhakta

hI bhakta vatsalam
you can do this by creating an alternate routing in CA01 for the 2nd sequence for 10 to 60 steps and another one for 10- 50 operations
next after this you need make sure you create 2 different production versions 1 and 2 and assign alternate 1 and alternate routing =2 so this is the different for each customer
and in the config for order type dependant parameters, you need to maintain the setting for selection by production version and similarly in MRP-4 also for BOM Explosion by production versions
so when you create a production order, then the system will prompt you to select which production version you want to use and for that customer, you can select the productiion version which contain the alternate routing with operations 10- 60 in it
if helpful pls reward points
thanks

Never owned a Mac, thinking of buying a Mac Pro, could use some advice...

Hey guys,
I know this was a lot to read, but I sincerely hope someone will take the time to answer my questions:
As the title of my post implies I've never owned a Mac in my life. I've always built my own desktops and usually gone to HP or Dell for my laptops. I'm approaching that time again where my custom-built desktop is looking outdated and I'm getting the upgrade itch. I'm looking at all the parts I need to order to build a computer and I can't help but think I'm older now with a full-time job and a one year old daughter in the house. Do I really want to go through the hassle of building a desktop from scratch again? Not really. So I started evaluating things a bit. As I get older I’m really just getting sick and tired of Microsoft’s antics (Vista was a huge disappointment for me) so I decided this could be the year for me to take the Mac plunge.
Now I’m an IT guy, so I have a pretty atypical setup at home. I’m currently running both Windows and Linux on all my computers. Rather than dual boot or use virtualization software I have a pretty intricate system in which I use a product called Acronis Trueimage to experiment with operating systems. What I do is perform a a clean install on an operating system, tweak it as needed for security and to use resources on my LAN than back up the customized OS install to a server a an image file. I have pre-built images for XP, Vista, Ubuntu and OpenSuSE that I can roll out to one of my machines in an average of 15 minutes whenever I get the urge to switch operating systems. I also serve all my data off a NAS box, so since data and OS are kept separate on the network I don’t have to worry about erasing something when I swap between Linux and Windows (as loading an image literally destroys the previous OS install).
So you can see I’m pretty highly specialized. I even have things down to the point to where I have custom images for specific purposes. For instance I have one XP image customized for development, one XP image customized for gaming, etc. Naturally if I got the Mac Pro I’d like to have the freedom to create a similar set of custom OS deployment images (Windows, Linux and OSX) for it as well. In researching the Mac Pro I have some concerns my current system might not work if I go that route. Am I correct in assuming that in order to run an alternative operating system on a Mac I’ll have to run boot camp or something like it? Or upon unboxing my Mac and tweaking Leopard will I be able to use disk imaging software to make a backup image of my preinstalled Leopard hard drive and then do a clean install of Windows XP or Ubuntu and set it up to function like a PC? I guess I’m asking if it’s possible (now that Macs are Intel-based) to run Windows or Linux exclusively on the Mac hardware?
Also I have some concerns about the proprietary nature of the Mac platform. From what I can gather in my research it seems the hardware is pretty locked in. One area that has me really concerned is gaming. I pretty much use Ubuntu exclusively at home for productivity and web surfing. However I still like to load that XP image every now and then to play some games on the LAN with my buddies. I’m not a fan of virtualizing for gaming because of the obvious performance hit you take, so I’d have to be able to run Windows XP free and clear. Also I checked Nvidia’s site and I see no OSX drivers listed there for their cards. Under the Windows platform they are always releasing driver updates to squeeze more game performance out of your card. What if I want to upgrade my video card? How do drivers work on OSX? Does Apple just integrate drivers for just a few specific video cards into the OS? Will I be stuck only able to pick from a handful of video cards approved by Apple?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer advice!

Hi Zeus
I may be able to answer some of your questions. And sorry in advance if this sounds like yet another of those "religious conversion" stories
I'm a software developer/architect, mostly doing Microsoft .NET/C#/Web Services coding. I'd been a loyal Microsoft guy since I started on the original IBM PC back in the 80's. Like a lot of people (or so it seems) I just got fed up with Microsoft's high-handed and self-important ways. More importantly, the company always seemed to be lagging behind technically. Looking at beta versions of Vista did not bode well for the future - it just seemed awful. When Vista came out it it was the last straw - I just could not get enthusiastic about this bloated, slow, mess of an operating system. I really hated it. Still do. Even with a top-spec machine, Vista didn't run in the snappy, responsive way it I thought it should. Nothing seemed well thought out.. yuck!
Then, by chance, I was staying for a few days with somebody who had a Mac. Now, for years and years I not even considered Macs as remotely serious machines. My only experience of them was in the late 80's when somebody at work had one. He took delight in pushing a floppy disc into the machine so that it would respond "Ah, it's so big!". Great, just a toy. Not for serious programming work. So, encountering Mac OS X Tiger on my friend's iMac was something of a shock. It was so responsive, clean and elegant. When you turned it on it only took about 30 seconds or so for the thing to be ready for use, etc, etc.
Long story short, I bought an iMac, then a newer, bigger, faster iMac, then a MacBook Pro and now I have a Mac Pro. I still have to work with Windows to do my .NET-related day job. But 95% of the time I work on the Mac using various VMWare virtual machines. I can switch between Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP in a few seconds and still be working in a Mac environment. And the performance of running Windows inside VMWare is even better than on my dedicated top-spec Windows laptop! I have a selection of virtual machines to choose from and, because these virtual machines are just files, I can back them up, revert to saved copies, etc. I've tried Bootcamp but it's much less convenient and performance inside the virtual machines is never an issue (although I don't do any gaming). So, you could keep virtual machines on your NAS box or local Mac hard drive.
With regard to graphics drives, etc. I've never had any problems whatever in this respect. For example, when I installed Windows XP on VMWare it automatically recognised all my hardware (including some obscure audio interfaces, USB-based MIDI interfaces, etc.) and made it available. I must admit that when I was new to the Mac I expected to have driver issues, but never have had... So, my guess is that you'll be able to run all your Windows and Linux distros on the Mac without too many problems.
You mention Apple's hardware as being "locked-in". I don't think that's the case. Certainly the consumer Mac models like the iMac can't be upgraded (by you or me) internally, expect for memory. The Mac Pro though is very easy to upgrade - though there may be some limitations with regard graphics cards.
Re your questions about graphics card drivers. Yes, these come with OS X in just the same as as with Windows. Because I've also used the card that comes "with the box" this has not been an issue for me. However, unless you get a Mac Pro you can't swap-in your existing graphics card. And even then I think you may find restrictions. However, other, more knowledgeable Mac users on this forum may have other thoughts.
Overall though, the experience of using the Mac in terms of software is very much the reverse of Windows - the OS is very open and well documented. It really is an IT person's dream machine - so much to fiddle around with (particularly if you know anything about Unix!). Unlike Microsoft who charge a FORTUNE for their development tools, Apple give them to you for free. And very good they are too!
Finally, one bit of advice. If you are considering buying a new Mac, join the Apple Developer Connection scheme as a Select member. It'll cost you around $400 to join but they give you a hardware discount for Apple-store purchased items that will save you a ton of $$$'s - absolutely definitely worth doing.
Hope this helps (and good luck)!

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
Graziee

Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

Installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 on a partition MacBook Pro?

Hi,
I am attempting to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 on my internal hard-drive on a brand new MacBook Pro. I have managed to partition the hard drive ok. But when it cam to attempting to install the alternative operating software on it. I arrived at a purple screen of death.
I am using an installation disk that I burnt myself from my previous Mac. After I partitioned the Hard Drive using the disk utility I input the disk into the computer and then restarted the computer holding down the alt button to boot into the other partition. I reached the slection stage and there were four options. The Macintosh HD, the new partition on the hard drive, and two disk icons, one labelled Windows and the other labelled something else (I can't quite remember). I clicked on the fourth option and was guided to a purple screen that said.
Try ubuntu without installing
Install Ubuntu
and one other option which again I cant remember.
I clicked on install Ubuntu and my computer screen went blank and everything has now stopped reponding to anything I try and do. I have tried the normal escape routines but nothing happens. What is happeneing and how can I get control of the computer back, and finally what is the correct way of installing Ubuntu on the section of the hard drive. HELP!
Thank You.

Sorry for your troubles but what is wrong with OS X? The only other OS that Apple supports being installed on a Mac computer is Windows and for the newest versions of OS X only Windows 7.
You could install all different types of OSs into a virtual machine program like VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtualbox.
Or maybe you should of bought a Windows PC Notebook as with them you aren't restricted in what OS can be installed natively.

Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

Help! I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance. Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get).
I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD. Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives. I the system came with windows 7 home edition. I need windows xp. So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive. I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D:
I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website). Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver. Then rebooted. No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware. All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load. I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo.
Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers? This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer. I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:. I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software.
I sure would appreciate any assistance :-) Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition. they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

Firefox 7, on Windows 7. It's suddenly stopped all downloads, picture saves etc. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, but it's still the same. Any ideas as to what to do, please?

I've now got Firefox 8 - so could, I guess, try installing that, instead. This problem happened quite suddenly, in the middle of a browsing session. I'm not so happy with the alternatives (Opera,IE and Chrome), and love Firefox, so would like to put this problem right! I'm using an Acer notebook One 722, by the way. Grateful for any help! Thanks! John (a Brit in Poland)

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I remove these files? - Nokia 5310

So, I bought a Nokia 5310, configured it, yada yada, everything's working fine.
My memory card, oddly enough, came with an extra folder ironically titled "Extra"
This folder has 5 songs in it, all of which I am not interested in and want OFF my phone.
Anyways, long story short, it won't let me. Not on the phone, not through the PC software, not through explorer, these files are "write-protected", and I can't even move them around! Frustratingly enough, they take up space, and end up in my players library.
ALSO, I want to get rid of,the default tones and whatnot the phone came with. There's like, 40 of them! And it makes for unnecessary menu drilling.
Thanks!!

There are alternative operating systems that run on a PC and that are far more stable, flexible and powerful than Windows. Of the dozens of such operating systems, I mostly use FreeBSD, Solaris and various variants of Linux on my machines, thus I am not "stuck" with that bloatware called Windows.
I'll say no more on that matter though - I don't want this topic to turn into an OS war

Clearing configuration FIFO on PCI-6013

I am writing a driver for a PCI-6013 for a legacy DOS based system. Everything I need is working except that I cannot clear the configuration FIFO so I can change the channel setup during use. According to the E-Series RLPM writing a 1 to the Write_Strobe_0 register (windowed write) will do this. As far as I can tell this has no effect at all. Is it possible that there is something in the STC setup that is preventing clearing the config FIFO or might this be something unique to the 6013?

John,
You may want to consider posting this question to the Driver Development Kit (DDK) discussion forum (link available below). This forum deals with questions concerning register-level programming (RLP), alternative operating systems, etc.

Hi all.(sorry for my bad inglish)

and try install Sol8 to this free disk.(i have IBM Deskstar
30Gb hard drive = 57000 cylinders) Instalation start ok and wright detect my hard drive, but when installation
want make swap filesystem at the begin of hard disk,
i'm answer "no" and Inst programme sugest me choise,
from what cylinder i want start swap file system and
sugest me choise ONLY from 3 to 10000 cylinders!!!
but Solaris partition start from 40000!!! What dose this mean? How i can make swap at the start of Slaris partititon?
Please, help.
Best regards, Yaroslav.

Solaris is most restrictive as regarded to the size of its primary partition. Since it is not possible to have Solaris UFS file system on a logical volume, all Solaris stuff must go into primary fdisk partitions. There is no use in having more than one Solaris primary partitions, if we want to install alternative operating systems. The conclusion is as follows:
if you need large Solaris partition and want to install additional operating systems on the same hard disk, partition the hard disk so that Solaris partition is a last primary partition that begins, but not necessarily ends, within the first 1024 cylinders.
The workaround for swap space, Though I have not tested it myself.
Solaris 7 and earlier do not support IDE hard disk drives larger than 8 GB, that is, they may access only the first 1024 cylinders of such a disk. Since the problem is on Solaris fdisk side, the workaround is quite straightforward:
1. Using Linux fdisk program on Linux installation floppy, or Ranish PM create a Linux swap primary partition. It is also possible to create e.g. DOS partition and change its ID to 0x82 (Solaris ID) with a favorite hex-editor and BOOT program, or a disk editor.
2. Boot Solaris from e.g. its installation CD.
3. Run format utility and create slices on Solaris partition.
4. Run newfs to construct file systems on all created slices.
Note: Pls. make sure you have a backup of all of the windows data before doing this exercise.

Mohsin.

Nokia worried networks will reject selling n900 be...

I know this is a user forum, but I'd like to make this thread a bit of a stand with Nokia..
You (Nokia) may be worried that networks won't like the fact they can't mess with the N900 operating system, but this is in my opinion, the best news I've heard in ages! I am a huge fan of Maemo (having owned 3 different Nokia tablets) and I would be mortified if a network or anyone fiddled with the OS.
Think of this as your iphone opportunity.. No network customises the iphone and I think that is a strong plus for apple and helps them provide a consistent feel for their product.. I'd love to see this approach applied to the N900 and infact many more Nokia products.
I've only bought Nokia handsets unbranded since the 7650 was released, I don't believe in network fiddling and it is fairly clear it causes serious problems for the educated user (see why people are moaning about the limited release of v12 firmware for the N97). I will be pre-ordering my N900 the day the London Flagship store opens its pre-order list because I know it will not be tampered with and will give a decent "as nokia intended" user experience!
Don't buckle to network pressure! The N900 has already generated "ooooooohhhmg I want one" noise in my circle of friends to the likes I've not seen in ages.. This forum is buzzing with "want it" posts. Don't let the networks screw it up!!
I'd just like to say, I'm behind you on this one and I hope many others are too!
networks may reject n900

It means its not going to be what Nokia are ultimately aiming for.. but put it this way, when they DO get the platform they were aiming for, would they stop?
The 770's life was cut short due to its very limited flash and to a certain extent other hardware.. The N800 and N810 have both been cut short because Maemo 5 won't run on them.. These things happen..
Unlike and end of life Symbian phone, there is an alternative operating system called Mer that is in development by the open source community that will run on older handsets.. So, even if Nokia give up on the N900 two years from now, you still have choices..
I recon, the N900 will be supported from some time, though.. and from the sounds of things they may even bring new features to the table.. Plus point would be, if the don't let networks interfere, you won't have to wait for networks to "approve" firmware before it is released That is just fantastic!

International App Store Control

I am currently in one of the countries with out App store access and can not access the App store to buy items. I have read post about this where excuses are given saying that it is due to goverment relations, trading laws and service..... I agree this can be the case but not for an unlimmited amount of time. (5-10 years)??? Why not invest a bit of capital and make things happen. I am sure the returns will be worth the investment. The community that are developing app's will also be happy to have a larger market. The Alternative operating system looks more-and-more attractive every day.
If you sell a product that indicate (suggest) that the online store is part of your product and service, is it then not wrong to deny that service?
Even the free programs are blocked/denied/control.
Sounds more to me like stagnation than problems. Problems can be solved....

This is a Mac user to user technical forum. No one here can tell you why there is no Mac App Store where you live. Apple is not here and does not respond to complaints like this one that you have posted. You are free to believe or not believe any ideas folks offer as to why there is no MAS in your country, but threats to become a Windows box user carries no weight here. Folks will just laugh at you.

Can macs use pc monitors?

I don't know where to ask this newbie question but I couldn't find the answer in the site. I am considering switching to mac but I recently got a nice flatscreen monitor for my PC and mac monitors are seemingly really expensive..
I imagine you can't use a pc monitor with one, but... can you?
I guess it's a deal breaker for me, costs too much if I have to buy a monitor too...

An interesting point of view.
When spinning this further, buying a Mac means buying two computers... a "Mac OS-based PC" and a "Windows-based PC" (e.g. BootCamp for installing Windows).
But it comes even better when considering that the Mac can also run old Commodore Amiga software (using "MagiCMac X") and DOS derivates (using VirtualPC or other virtualization software); confessed both are software emulations and not really hardware-based. But possible. I get a headache when thinking of giving such computers a name
And it is much more complex finally, when thinking of the other alternative operating systems like Unix... sure, also OS X is based on Unix, but I guess that you can't simply put systems like Solaris and SuSe into the same category as OS X, since they serve quite different markets.
So maybe the classifcation "IBM-compatible PC" and "Mac" are really no longer matching to today's computers. Anyway, I refuse to state my Mac being nothing else than an "expensive PC", but perhaps this would be the right naming convention

Round and square brackets in regexp

Hello,
Can someone please explain to me what is the difference between:
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('aoeeeeo','(i|e)o') position FROM dual;
and
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('aoeeeeo','[ie]o') position FROM dual;
I mean, what is the main difference between round brackets with the alternation operator and square brackets in regular expressions?
Thank you very much,

It will perhaps be clearer if you look at it with more than just single characters...
SQL> select regexp_replace('this is fred and his test string', '(is|and)','XXX') from dual;
REGEXP_REPLACE('THISISFREDANDHISTES
thXXX XXX fred XXX hXXX test string
SQL> select regexp_replace('this is fred and his test string', '[isand]','XXX') from dual;
REGEXP_REPLACE('THISISFREDANDHISTESTSTRING','[ISAND]','XXX')
thXXXXXX XXXXXX freXXX XXXXXXXXX hXXXXXX teXXXt XXXtrXXXXXXg
SQL>The round brackets allow you to specify whole strings whereas the square brackets allow you to specify sets of individual characters.
Therefore in my first example it looks for IS or AND and replaces those.
In the second example it looks for any occurence of the characters I,S,A,N,D and replaces those.
