Am I missing out with 98SE?

So am I missing out on XP, or does 98SE still squeeze all of the speed and functionality that XP gets? I just dont like XP much - its too non-involved for the user. I'm someone who likes the backup of the command prompt, and who has some old games and programs that he'd like to use still, but I've heard of so many problems with old software I thought I wouldnt bother. Now I am having so many problems with this new delta lsr I'm wondering if it was never designed to work with 98. That said, surely it should work with both? Didnt think mobos were 'platform aimed'

I have both Win98SE (on IDE1) and WinXP Professional SP1 (on RAID-0 array) on my dual-boot machine at home, and Win2000 Professional at work. I can't say anything at all about WinXP Home Edition, other than it's a stripped-down version of the Professional version. Maybe XP Home is not as good as the Pro version as a result...?
I can't say I've encountered any major operational differences between Win2000 Pro and WinXP Pro, other than the fancy default interface on WinXP Pro (I've since changed it to the older Win2000 style interface, which I like better). Both have been more than stable for over a year. No real big differences here, other than increased PnP ability of WinXP Pro. Both have been extremely stable.
My work PC and notebook both have Win2000 Professional, and have been absolutely stable 8 hours a day. However, since they're not my PC's, no hardware tweaking has been done.
At home, I have been running WinXP Pro SP1 for 13 months now with absolutely no hint of an OS-related problem. In fact, when I installed WinXP Pro SP1, my MB was a K7T266Pro2-RU with a Palomino 1800+. I did the C37 mod to allow running a 2400+ Tbred on this MB, and that didn't faze WinXP Pro one bit.
After a while, the X7T266Pro2-RU wouldn't run my 2400+ at 133fsb anymore, no matter what I tried. I looked for a MB replacement, and settled on the K3T-Ultra2-R, because it was the last MSI board I could find that featured a Promise RAID controller that still had TWO additional IDE ports. I swapped in the new MB, hooked up my existing RAID-0 array, inserted the WinXP Pro CD, and "repaired" the existing WinXP installation on the array to account for the changed MB. WinXP Pro handled it like a champ! After it was done, all my old settings and applications were still intact. However, all Windows Updates/Patches had to be reapplied, since the OS repair wipes those out. Regardless, it went quite smooth, and it's still operating stable as ever.
IMHO, you can't go bad with either Win2000 Pro or WinXP Pro.

What are the benefits of buying an iPad 2 with wi-fi, or with 3G when I already have an iPhone 4 with 3G? My plan with was to go for wi-fi and connect to the internet through my iPhone 4. Am I missing out on anything by not getting 3G?

Not shooting anamorphic with my Panasonic DVX 100B. Am I missing out?

Hello All,
I have a Panasonic DVX 100B that I shoot 4:3 ratio with letterbox. I use a .7 wide angle lens adaptor. Am I missing out by not shooting anamorphic?
DG

studio X has the answer. The ONLY difference between 4:3 and 16:9 is the frame. What are you framing and how do you want your frame to look? If you shoot 4:3 and you are trying to get a full mountain scape for instance, you'll need to zoom out further and contain more sky and foreground in order to get the full mountain range. If you shoot 16:9, you'll have a wider range, with less above and below the subject. (Of course this is just one example...) You are only missing what you want to show your audience.
Sitcoms, for instance, would not benefit as much from 16:9 because in humor you want to keep the audience attention on the main action of the screen. Too much around that lessens the blow of the punchline. But in a drama or action, the area surrounding your main action is just as important when creating mood or tension.

The latest versions of Reader have many improvements, including advanced security features. And, why can't you change that old version? Have you tried this?
Use this tool to remove all traces of all versions of Reader:

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Macbook X 10.6.8. Epson SX218 failed to print every fifth line, but only in MS Office documents. I updated Office. Now that line is slightly blurred as though the printer had missed out a pass.

I am helping a disabled person with a printing problem involving a Macbook, an Epson SX218, and MS Office for Macs. The Macbook had been recently updated to OS X 10.6.8, and the printer driver reinstalled, by an Apple store. She complained the printer failed to print about every fifth line. It turned out there was no problem at all with printing web pages and emails, but only with Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I updated
Office. Later all lines were printed, but imperfectly with a bit missing from bottom of every fifth line, as though the printer had missed out a pass, so I am not sure the Office update is what made the difference. I am not at all sure whether this problem arises from the Mac or the printer or Office.

It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.

Some DB objects like User-defined datatypes being missed out?

Dear all.
I create an Oracle model for a captured SQL Server model and then right click -> click on 'Generate' to create the DB creation script.
(1) But few objects like user-defined datatypes are missed out in the script.
(2) Also, a simple stored proc as defined below missed out:
CREATE PROCEDURE [SalesLT].[SayHi]
AS
SELECT 'Hi I am a job scheduler'
GO
Rgds, Abhi

Hello,
An OracleDI Dataserver connection to an RDBMS is, most of the time, defined with a single set of parameters: a user account name, a password and a URL.
OracleDI may need to access numerous tables on the RDBMS which may not all be stored in the same database schema, catalog, library, ...and for which access privileges may not be identical.
For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that the RDBMS user account has sufficient access privileges for these schema, catalog, librairies ...
The user account should have at least read/right access permission for any OracleDI Physical Schema referenced for the concerned Dataserver (depending on the project within which it is used, a Physical Schema may store both source and/or target tables).
Moreover, for project requirements, it may be necessary to use/create/drop certain RDBMS
components such as stored procedures, views, temporary tables, system tables ...
For this reason, make sure the user account referenced in the dataserver connection parameters is attributed sufficient privileges to any object it may manipulate with OracleDI.
2nd point: you can use any logical name for the data server Name.

Using the paste options randomly misses out text, don't use it and use the 'Paste Special...' option instead (MS Outlook)

Also there seems to be no obvious way to report Office bugs. This is leaving little room for improvement. Not sure if there has been any planning on this front???
For example, [MS Outlook] using the paste options randomly misses out text, (don't use it and use the 'Paste Special...' option instead). But how do I communicate this to the Office team without knowing at least one of the team personally (which I
don't)???

Hi,
Do you have this issue when pasting in other programs?
If you are pasting something into Outlook, some formats and images may get lost, especially when you choose the Paste Options as Keep Text Only.
Once you have this issue again, please try with "Keep Source Formatting". This may keep the Sour Formatting and you may not get the text lost.

Can I find out, with user has deleted all cost estimates with CKR1?

Hi Community,
ich have a major problem: all our standard material don't have a cost estimate any more, because a unknown user has deleted all current cost estimates. Can I find out, with user has used the CKR1 transaction? And much more importend: how can I solve the problem? Do I need to re-calculate all the material?
Thanks for any idea and help
PoD

Hi,
you have to make the costing run, marking, releasing again but thats not the whole work.
If there are PP-orders that have been created based on the old/deleted plan cost estimates, the variance calculation will not work as the plan cost estimate is missing (even if the new one is released in the same period).
Thus variance calculation is not possible for those orders... You have to settle the whole balance to receiver object by removing the variance key in PP-order. Try first for one particualr order to see if there are some other problems that need to be solved during month-end-closing.
How to find out who has executed CKR1 (SAPCKR1): Check authorizations for (hopefully) a small number of user who are allowed to use CKR1.
Use T-Code ST03N, in the left upper window double-click "total" (maybe click a day if you can imagine which (possible) date it was). In lower left section open "user and settlement statistics" and then click "user profile". Now go to each possible user and look for T-Code CKR1.
This can be time-consuming but its worth a try...
For the future: restrict CKR1 to a very small number of user (and they should be well trained...). I once had a company (with poor authorization concept) but CKR1 was blocked in SM01 and a ZCKR1 was created and in this Z-transaction USER-name was checked (if SY-USNAM...) so only the use names named in this Z-program were allowed to use ZCKR1. Not the best way but sufficient for them...
Good luck, Christian

What will i be missing out on really?

once i update the current "iPhone" with the 2.0 software...what will i really be missing out on if i decided not to get the "iPhone 3G"? just the GPS & 3G capabilities or is there a whole lot more?

well, then im not sure i will be one of the many rushing out to get the 3G version...
i mean, the GPS, although nice to have, i dont need...the current Google Maps with directions is sufficient...
and as for the 3G, is the speed really that much noticeable compared to what it is now?...i mean it would be nice if im talking on the phone and need to jump on the web, for whatever reason, at the same time...or get a call in while actively surfing the web...but not sure if it is worth getting a new phone and changing my service plan...maybe im wrong in my thinking, maybe i need a little more convincing

Missing something with concat

Am I missing something with the concat method under the String class?
I have something like this..
String testStr = "I am here";
testStr.concat(" but not here");
System.out.println(testStr);It compiles fine but all I get is "I am here"
Any ideas?

Thank you for pointing that out. I did read the
javadoc, unfortunately I didn't understand exactly
what I was reading. That was in no way obvious from your first post though.
That's why I asked the question.
Have any of you ever had to ask a question. If so was
it over experimental material that you couldn't read
or research about on your own? There is a difference between the act of asking a question and the actual nature of the question itself.
Some people ask
questions, thus the forum. Furthermore, to all of you
who do spend time on here answering questions I offer
sincere gratitude. You help development to be less
aggravating. It's unfortunate that you have to deal
with anyone that doesn't try to come up with the
answer themselves and thus assume they don't try to
figure it out on their own. I would ask for some
slack, and maybe occasionally give the benefit of the
doubt that someone was just not getting something.
But many people don't try to figure it out themselves.
And those people will ask the question in exactly the same way as one who did try alternatives but didn't bother to indicate that the alternatives were tried.
So how are we supposed to figure out what the poster has done?
And without my post how would anyone here even known that you knew what the javadocs were?

I don't know cause Apple decided for me.
As does Microsoft anytime that they release a new update that is no longer compatible with the old PC hardware.
I would hope that Microsoft and Apple would both know what operating systems will run on the hardware that is produced for them.
I would also hope that Microsoft and Apple know better than you do as to what would work on their devices, tablets, computers, phones .... How much time and money have you put into research and development on the iPad?

How to pay new joinees who were missed out in the last pay period run

Hi,
There are cases where a new joinee is missed out in a payroll run and needs to be paid the prorated salary for the joined month along with the net pay in the next month.
Please advise how such cases can be handled.
We can check for employees who have not been processed in payroll run and pay them starting the join date. There was a case where an employee was moved to the payroll from another payroll, he was paid starting the date of join, and hence got paid more.
If we restrict the period for checking the new hires to the date after the last pay periods run date till the end of the month, we still miss out on other employees who were not added in time for the payroll run because of late notification.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and guidance.
Thanks & Regards,
Supriya

Hi Guys
I noticed none have you have mentioned aything in relation to the use of quickpays,Payroll runs and extended start dates with Prepayments? This is a common issue, especially within large companies where the turnover of staff is quite high. I have seen this happen a lot on many govenrment projects I have worked with and the solution I reccomend, which is not customised and supported by Oracle is quite straight forward and simple.
First off when you hire the employee you have obvioulsy missed the boat so to speak in relation to that Payroll Period that they joined, No worries there. Just run a quickpay if you use them as legitamate Payroll runs (Some Organisations do not) or either create an assignment set and run the payroll for that employee only for the period they missed out.
Next up will be your second pay period payroll run or shall we say the current pay period. As the New Hire employee is now setup on your required Payroll they will obviously be picked up in that run.
Next all you do is run Pre-payments with an effective Start date of the first day of the previous pay period they missed. Check the SOE attached to the Employee's Pre-payment run for period 2 and hey presto......Your arrears have been calculated.
Retro will not pick up an late starters thus this solution is the next best thing. Prepayments will pick up any payroll runs which have not already been picked up by a previous Pre-payment run within the date range you specify.
No More Customisations needed!!

Have i miss out on loads in order to get back at LP9?

Since i last left doing music like Three and a half years ago moving back to Jamaica in getting my career off the ground, so far it has been mayhem however i am still hanging in there, bless all you L.P. genius.
Bee Jay, Jim, steve, john, Noepqlease and of course Ischartz Jord and to all whom help over the years of Blay-Zay development with L.P.
I miss not being here in the forum like for real though.
On the real, have i miss out on loads in L.P. or updates as i just started to update my system today, so are there any updates that has been at fault in looking for?
And any major changes to look for?

welcome back mon!
Logic 9 has not evolved beyond all recognition, but there have been some important 'under the hood' improvements. I too have had to cater to different needs for the past few years, so my logic knowhow is maybe not as cutting edge (if it ever was :p).
As far as I am concerned, one of the major improvements is the FLEX audio feature.
I suggest viewing the short videos featured on the following page.

Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

Going to miss out on a sale for the t450s because of a website bug? Seriously?

Currently I'm outside of the US on vacation and when I attempted to order the t450s on sale (the standard + the student sale), I got the following message: "Unable to authorize your transaction. Please select another payment method to complete your order." I don't mind ordering the laptop as soon as I get back to the US in a couple of days, but the problem is the sale might end pretty soon. Is it possible that I email a Lenovo employee and have them resolve the issue? I really don't want to miss out on this deal.

Nature,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can't promise that I can get you the T450s, but I will try to help. Please send me a PM with your name, email and phone number asap.

Am I missing out with 98SE?
