An improvement that would make my life easier

It would be great if the report-this-post form had a collection of check boxes for terms of use violations. Then as I am reading through the forums and come across a post that fits one or all of these criteria:
1. Impolite
2. Off Topic
3. Not Constructive
4. Poll or petition
5. Untested
6. Advertising
I could check off the applicable items and more easily report it.
Cheers,
Chris

I think several of the suggested categories are so subjective or vague that the end result would be to stimulate a flood of reports about posts that only marginally could be considered violations of the ToU.
The suggested categories are lifted directly from the TOU. If they are vague then that is a problem with the TOU.
For example, judging the level of politeness or constructiveness is often more a matter of personal opinion than of applying any well-defined standards.
Personal opinion doesn't apply. Politeness is in this context is a legal term and well-defined in the TOU (Section 2 para. 2). Constructive is covered in Sec. 2 para. 3.
Blatant violations should be self-evident, so there is no real need for further categorization.
The TOU already provides for further categorization. So apparently its authors see this matter differently. Having a list to choose from with descriptions for each would make application of the TOU more uniform and therefore less subject to abuse. It would also make the expectations of posting more clear.
If it is more in a grey area, further explanation would be needed anyway, so the benefits of too many categories seem small.
Further explanation is already in the TOU. I'm just saying it would be nice if the user interface made reporting posts more in line with what is actually mentioned in the TOU, instead of providing a freeform text field where you can write or not write anything you want.

  • I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
    How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
    I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
    I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
    How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
    Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
    I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
    Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
    To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

  • Help me make my life easier!

    If I have, say, 35 emails that I have sent out to different addresses, instead of copying and pasting each address, is there a way for me to import all of those email addresses into a particular group name in the address book?
    This would make life so much easier!

    Open the Previous Recipients from the Window menu. You can't pick a group, but you can add them to the address book from there. You'd then have to go through the address book and group them.
    Another option might be [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html]. It has some scripts to add emails from messages and pick the group you want to put them in. You'd just have to open all the Sent emails and get the addresses from there.

  • A Suggestion for Garageband that would make it unique

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this or what, but I just wanted to put this out there to the GarageBand community and creators if they are listening.
    I started recording actually in a garage at my buddies house in the early 90's back then the cheapest thing to record on and do overdubs was a cassette 4-track recorders, they were very limiting, but there were a few cool things that I miss from that old tech that I haven't seen any one really address in the digital domain.
    Reversing (flipping the tape over) essentially recording from the endpoint of the song to the beginning, the backing tracks play in reverse but your overdub is in normal, when you flip in back to normal the backing tracks play forward but your overdub is in reverse. This was my favorite thing to do with a tape machine and its a classic retro effect Hendrix and others used it, why not bring it to GarageBand as a option directly on the transporter buttons?
    Master speed adjustment, for all the backing tracks where it pitches up or down on the transporter as well, but you can overdub at normal speed when adjust the pitch. You can easily get that Parliament Funkadelic sound, or Screwwed what ever you want to call it, its another fun trick. I know you can currently pitch every instrument individually, but that's not what I'm talking about.
    Basically these were some of the only tricks we had up our sleeves back in the tape days and I wish they were still available to us making creative music. I understand GarageBand is Apples entry level audio recording software and I respect that, But I think that these options align with that position, as they are simple basic and intuitive. Being integrated directly into how GarageBand works would bring back some basic nostalgia from the home recording days that lots of people enjoyed, and have since lost. I think it would make the music making process seem a lot more of a creative organic experience and may even attract a lot of older users to venture into the digital computer realm, I can already see it as the iPad replaces all multi track recorders. I love your software please consider these options in your next version of GarageBand.
    Thanks

    MMM, Thanks for your interest, but I'm not sure if you read my post completely. I am not interested in the tonal character of the medium of analog tape, and like you I overwhelmingly prefer the advantages of a DAW.
    I am suggesting that designers of DAW's integrate the reverse and pitch technique in a way that emulates how tape transporters functioned. This would continue to exploit the possibility's offered by digital.  In fact a good bit of the possibility's we have been given by digital are recreating the tools we use to have before the DAW,  Acoustic space emulators, Plate & Spring reverb simulators,compressor simulators, pre-amp simulators, EQ simulators, the list goes on. These options just seemed to be left out.
    Listen to the guitar solo on Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away, they didn't use a computer to do that sound, what they did was play the tape till they got to the end of the solo, flip the tape over and record in the opposite direction, from the end of the solo section to the beginning. So when you are recording backwards the first stuff you put down ends up last. Options today are to record forward then reverse your recording after the fact, or use some sorta backwards simulator, neither of these give you the experience of recording how they did it in the old days, and then adding effects to the backwards track, it gets really cool.

  • How to make the life easier when sound file may be changed in future?

    Hello, friends,
    I have about 600 sound files (total about 10MB), which will
    be used by thousands of .swf files. Each .swf file may use only a
    few of those 600 sound files.
    I know I can load those sound files into each .swf as needed.
    However, since those sound files may be changed or modified in
    future, I may have to modified each .swf file to reload the
    new/modified sound file then. This would be VERY painful.
    Any better methods? Any sample source code or reference
    papers?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    The obviuos solution would be that you just replace the old
    (say) "crash.mp3" with the new "crash.mp3" and that's it.
    The more sophisticated way would be to store someting in xml

  • My firefox won't create a new tab when I click on the tab. It will create a new window. It worked fine till this morning. I've rebooted several time to see if that would make a difference. It doesn't.

    I can only create tabs by clicking on a link in an email or a program or a link in the window I am viewing. It will NOT create a new tab when I click on the tab to create a new tab, nor will it create a new tab when I right click on the tab & click on create a new tab. I'm used to using tabbed browsing all the time & it's driving me nuts. HELP!
    I have not downloaded any new updates on any software or downloaded any new software in the hours before this started happening.
    Just to clarify about my original question. I meant to say that firefox will create a new window when I right click & click on create a new window but will not create a new tab when I click on create a new tab. I think what I wrote may have been somewhat confusing.

    The banking sites usually prevent log-info from being saved, but there was a way around it..

  • Here is a simple idea... that would help the Windo...

    Why not make simply APPs, that works on any Lumia 800/900 that lets any owner of a Phone that is not locked, adjust all the network settings? Like an APP for ATT, T-Mobile... In Europe for Orange, Sunrise... whoever.
    This way any owner can download the APP, run it and it configures his phones APNs in detail... also the stuff that is missing in the current Network APP.
    Reboot phone... and voila...
    All those APS could be found in the APP store.
    That would make our life a lot easier!

    In all honesty I do not see what in your description is not currently possible in the  Network Setup app? It will find and present the user with the most likely network settings when run and allow for manual setting if no suitable preset is found. And also no reboot required.
    Press the 'Accept As Solution' icon if I have solved your problem, click on the Star Icon below if my advice has helped you!

  • Making life easier with a broken hand

    I have broken my right hand. I am very right handed. I use a computer a lot of the time as it is part of my job.
    I have switched my mouse to be left handed. I am unsure whether it is worthwhile to learn left handed DVORAK.
    Is there anything else that would make life easier for me?

    If it were more severe I would recommend a one-handed keyboard. But this is obviously not worth the effort. Left handed Dvorak is a good idea in any case.
