Arch programs from repos and multithread support

Support of how many CPU cores/threads maintainers compile programs with? Programs which are available from Arch repositories.

The MAKEFLAGS option can be used to specify additional options for make. Users with multi-core/multi-processor systems can specify the number of jobs to run simultaneously. Generally -j2, plus 1 for each additional core/processor is an adequate choice. Optimizing for multiple cores can sometimes increase compiling performance, shortening compile times. However, be warned that occasionally using anything but the default can cause compilation problems, though many have agreed that -j3 is fairly safe to use for the majority of packages.
This only affects how many threads that make will spawn. It's compile time only and won't change the behaviour of the resulting binary one bit.
A single threaded app will always be single threaded, even if your compile forked off 30 threads when it compiled it.

Is the program from FiuneDeaalSuoft, and its associated links, causing problems?

A program from FiuneDeaalSuoft somehow appeared in my Firefox Add-0ns as of 2 days ago (08212014) according to Control Panel-Programs. I don't recognize it, but possibly I mistakenly clicked on an acceptance interface without realizing it. The ad re-directs which it caused were onerous and invasive. The re-directs first started appearing when I received a message advising me to update some other programs. I have a list of most of them. It seemed to start I went onto a Windows web page, for Windows Live Movie Maker,
< http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker-file-types-faq?wlexpid=FC1B09C67C184525852C59C15A0F465E >
which had 3 block ads at the top from FiuneDeaalSuoft. The links for those three ads were:
< Microsoft.iYogi.com > phone 855-558-2498,
< Microsoft-Windows.iYogi.com > phone 855-558-2498, and
< Microsoft-Support.pchelpdesk.co > with no phone showing in my screenshot of the ad but it is probably the same as given later herein, 855-677-5531.
I removed the FiuneDeaalSuoft program from Add-ons, but I still seem to be getting some pop-ups and re-directs. Looking in Control Panel, I see that the program name is slightly different: FuineDealSOfti from FineDealSofT. This program was extremely aggressive and persistent. In Control Panel, I see other programs which I am also concerned about. IDT Audio from IDT has been on my computer a while, but I can't remember much about it. Pinger from Pinger, Inc. shows that it was installed in Dec. 2013 before I bought the computer. WidgetServ 1.0 from Softomate, LLC. is through Firefox. WinSpeed from 24soft installed in April 2014 is another program which I don't know much about. Can anyone offer further analysis and review or comment of any of these programs, please, with advice as to whether you have found them useful or problematic?
The software from FiuneDeaalSuoft will be uninstalled from Control Panel since I am convinced that it is very invasive and a lot of trouble. An Install Manager from dwnllistsoft.com was part of the pathway. It wanted to re-direct to < http://uhi.inureknittingrectrix.com >, which had code sections referring to < plh.tractionize.com >; < WhiteLabelBidRequestHandlerServlet >; < www.srv2trking.com >; < LTSanitizer.aspx >; and < www.ascentive.com >.
The original message seemed to be one which advised that "Video Update Recommended".
Another had the Firefox logo and advised that "You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and your Video Player might be outdated". The webpage address was:
< http://www.lpmxp2129.com /7655407A3F26415F243E342D4D472B54AE35515F1068A175E1CFD6181CD0B859E09383E5EAA7EDFE90932B3B86A7E9D8?tgu_src_lp_domain=
www.dnwyoursoft.com&ClickID=426139843&PubID=1258 > (which could have a small editing error).
A smaller front screen appeared as an overlay which said "Recommended" and then " You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and it is recommended that you update your video player to the fastest version available. Please update to continue."
Some other urls which appeared were:

Please install the latest update to enhance your computer's security and performance." (part of the window screen capture was missing the full text, so I had to guess part of the message);
(NOTE that the previous entry may have a disconnect between the url and actual screen, since i could not reproduce the result);

was very realistic (and for all I know is legitimate), showing a logo for PCKeeper, a front screen block titled "Important Message" with "Your PC Performance is Poor." and a "Fix Now" selector button;
the main screen of the previous url had the overhead title of "How to Fix The Windows 8.1 error" which is somewhat peculiar since "The" is capitalized while "error" is not;
also the previous screen had 1. a picture of an attractive smiling young man with a reference book titled "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist", 2. several links for various PCKeeper options, and 3. at the bottom, block ads for AAA and alleged referrals from "The Wall Street Journal", "MAXIMUMPC", and "Business Wire" and 4. a warning that "You may be presented with an optional offer(s) during INSTALLATION" which was the link followed another link for "learn more";

JFlashPlayer and multithread support

I'm currently working on a image generation task which will be handled by a SWF file. Since the end result should be highly multithreaded in nature ,I cannot invoke a browser, So I'm using JFlashPlayer.All I need is to create a JFrame with an SWF embedded.The embedded SWF will do my job and once its done , It will notify the container(JFrame) to dispose itself.
This will work perfectly fine in a single threaded environment,But if I create more than 5 threads ,the application will crash throwing system out of memory errors from the Flash player.
I can allocate more memory to JVM but I didn't find any useful method which can set more virtual memory to the embedded flash object.Also if my understanding is correct, even if i create 5 different instances of of JFrame in 5 different threads,only one SWF object will be created in the memory, and all the JFrames shares the common SWF object.
Any suggestions guys ?
Thanks

Do you want to play multi flash files from the JFrame i.e each flash files has its own JFlashPlayer
If you have bought this package then the best think is to get support from the vendor [email protected]

Calling one program from another and gettting values back

Hello All,
I am calling subroutine program X from a payroll function. I am not able to get internal table back in my payroll program.
This subroutine in program X is being used by some other reports in folLowing way and successfully returns values.Following sysntx is being used in suucessful implemetaiton of this piece of code.
perform fill_rt2 (RPXXXX) USING BEGDA ENDDA PERNR.
If i try doing that from payroll function, rt2 gets refreshed once control comes back to payroll.
Please help.
Thanks
Samir

try this ...
Do not declare RT2 in both programs, only declare it in Calling progrm HNZLCALC0.
Then use perform like this:
perform GET_RESULTS (hnzuclro) using begda endda pernr CHANGING RT2.
and ...
Caller prpgram HNZUCLR0 : rt2 declared here in main program <- remove RT2 from here
FORM GET_RESULTS using begda endda pernr CHANGING RT2
FILL RT2.
ENDFORM.
let me know if it works, I do not have SAP right now, I can check syntax in the morning.

Launching programs from python and ncurses

I've made a little menu launcher with python and ncurses. It works most of the time, but occationally it does nothing when I select a program to launch.
This is how it works:
1. A keyboard shortcut launches an xterm window that runs the program.
2. I select some program, which is launched via this command:
os.system("nohup " + "program_name" + "> /dev/null &")
3. ncurses cleans up and python calls "sys.exit()"
The whole idea with nohup is that the xterm window will close after I select an application, but the application will still start normally (this was a bit of a problem). This works most of the time, but sometimes nothing happens (it never works the first time I try launching a program after starting the computer, the other times are more random).
So, has anyone got an idea of what's going on or a better solution than the nohup hack?
The whole code for the menu launcher is below. It's quite hackish, but then again it was just meant for me. The file's called "curmenu.py", and I launch it with an xbindkeys shortcut that runs "xterm -e curmenu.py".

Quite suddenly, after a year or so, I cannot access the iTunes store. I have uninstalled iTunes and downloaded itunes 10.4. Windows is up to date. I've requested help from Apple and iTunes support to no avail. They replied but nothing worked.

Just before the problem occurred, a message appeared, "Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store." Has anone had this problem, and if so, how did you solve it?

I have the same problem. Everything else in iTunes works fine, but when I go to the iTunes store, I just get the blank page labeled "iTunes Store." I don't get an error or anything, it just stops there. Or, like today, I tried to download a digital copy of a movie, and I got as far as having iTunes try to connect to the store again, and the little box came up with "Connecting to the iTunes Store" title, and the little green dots running across to tell me that it is still trying to connect. That box just sat there and ran for 4-5 minutes, to no avail. Also, and I don't know if it is connected to this issue or not, but AppleMobileDevice.exe kicks in everytime iTunes starts and ***** up 99% of my CPU. And if I end that program, then iTunes starts using the 99%, even though it isn't doing anything. I've had this problem for at least 3 or 4 months. I hope someone comes up with an answer; iTunes is losing my business, as I cannot shop or browse or anything.

Activating only one program from Design and web?

So, I downloaded the trial of design and web and decided I only wanted to buy Photoshop because $1800 is a bit too much for me, but I need the program.
I don't want to have to re-download it because it already took 3 hours for design and web to download.
so is there a way to individually activate the programs, or is it a packaged deal?

No, it's not possible. You need to download the separate program and install it.

MacKeeper for new imac is a program from Apple and ok?

Ich habe neu einen IMAC, da kommt ein Reinigungsprogramm MacKeeper, ist das amtlich und in Ordnung und bringt es was?

MacKeeper ist nicht von Apple, es gemacht wird und von Menschen, die Geld ohne Angabe nützliches Produkt machen wollen gefördert.
Niemand mit Mac Erfahrung empfehlen die Nutzung dieser Anwendung. Diese usless Software verlangsamt den Mac herunter und tut nichts, dass das Mac-Betriebssystem wird kostenlos tun. Installieren Sie es nicht.

HT5278 my iphone is not working because i removed a program from cydia it is starting ang stopping

i removed an important program from cydia and my iphone is not working now it is starting and stopping all by it self

That's one of the drawback to jailbreaking. Things don't work properly.

Another drawback is that you can't get support here.

I use my Apple TV mostly to stream from Netflix, and up until recently it worked perfectly. Now the film freezes ever minute or so and it takes another minute to start up again. This doesn't happen when I stream directly onto my laptop.

I have had an Apple TV for over a year. I use it mainly to stream programs from Netflix, and up until a few months ago, I had no poroblems. Now it has become impossbile to watch a Netflix program on my TV because the film freezes every couple of minutes, or less, and seems to be downloading. It starts again, but the same thing happens in a couple of mnutes more. I have tried pausing the film for a few minutes to let it download, and I have even started a film, and then paused it, half an hour before starting to watch it, hoping that this would allow the entire film, or most of it, to download, but it hasn't helped. I don't have this problem when I download directly from Netflix onto my laptop, but then I don't need Apple TV. Of course, I'd rather watch films on my TV than on my laptop. Any suggestions other than buying a new Apple TV after just over a year?

I also found the following post about a TV interfering with wireless networking:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17354146#17354146
When I was searching I also found similar problems with screen brightness affecting wireless networking in iPads and MacBooks. So it seems like screen backlighting can generate wireless interference. The joy of technology.

How to call a program from FM which acts as popup?

Hi,
I need to call a program from FM and once the program is called it needs to be opened as a popup. Maybe we need to assign size when we call from FM or do we need to give size in the program it self?
I know i can either use the Submit command or Call Transaction command. But that it self will open a full screen which i dont want. It needs to be of a smaller size.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I bought TV program from iTunes last night but I can't view it on iPad. anybody knows how to solve this problem?

I bought TV program from iTunes and I can play it on MBP. But when I tried it on iPad, it returned viewing error. I searched for the solution but all I got was to convert the file to iPad version. Unfortunately, when I selected the file, Advance Menu was greyed out. I appreciate it if anyone can tell me what to do.

Transferring Reunion 9 (Family Tree) Program/ from MacBook to MacBook Pro.

Hi all! I upgraded my 2 year old MacBook in November for a MacBook Pro. Before I updated I had purchased Reunion 9.
Now I need Reunion 9 on my new MacBook Pro, but I have no idea how to transfer it! I was able to transfer the actual program to the new computer, but not the account.
Any idea???

Well apparently, on top of the $100 I paid for the program to begin with I have to shell out another $10 for a replacement CD. Awesome.
Because I purchased the program from Apple and NOT directly from them as a download they can't do anything to help me other than take my money some more.
I guess I'll have to do some digging!
Thanks for trying to help!

Hi,
Create a Z trnsaction Code for the Transaction you want to call.
Go to SE93. Give Transaction name and click on create.
Select start object as 'Transaction with Variant' or 'Transaction with Parameter'.
On second screen give transaction name and check the <b>check box for 'Skip initial screen'</b>.
Find out the initial screen for the transaction and mention it.
Now, you can call this Z transaction in your program.

How can I open a program using Java and then perform certain tasks with it?

For example, and this is just an example, I want to write a Java program that opens MS Paint and then manipulates that program. This can be useful to automate certain tasks.
My question is whether this can be done writing Java code and if so how? If not possible, would I need to use a scripting language instead?

write a Java program that opens MS Paint and then
manipulates that program. This can be useful to
automate certain tasks."manipulates" is a too wide term. Let me narrow down:
1. If you want to open (run) the program and then shut (kill) it down it is possible and fairly trivial to do in java. Look up Runtime and Process classes in java.lang package
2. If you want to open the program and edit some image/document in the opened program. It is very difficult in java. May be possible... using some Java/COM bridge, assuming your native program is COM/Active-x compliant. Note: these things go beyond the boundary of JVM and needs to interact with host OS and involves shared memory, ipc and all "low level" stuffs.
If you want to be able to play around with these COM/Activex apps- choose .NET instead :-)
3) You can open the program from java and pass it some command line arg as in (1) above and then the program will load that document/image at startup automatically. You may then edit the doc/image thru that program itself. However, Java is not doing anything for you here, other than just starting off your native mspaint.exe ot notepad.exe.
