Back in the post world

I've been out of the digital post world for a few years now, so I'm wondering exactly where the G5's are at now.
I shoot on film, and am looking for a system (I'm assuming a G5) that can play real time HD uncompressed video. A few years ago it took a G4 with multiple linked hard drives to play back a high quality picture, and it was considered a high risk. Can the G5's handle it now? Any recommended specs?
Thanks in advance.

You should be looking at a Mac Pro unless you are considering buying used equipment.

Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion? I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe. And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed. IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

No one here works for Apple.
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?

There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally. It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix. Do search on something like "Home button won't work". It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key. Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s. You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.

How to get the button name which triggred the post back

i have multiple buttons on the apex page most of those have the event type as "post back". is there any way to get the button name through pl/sql which raised the post back event ?

Tried v('REQUEST') or :REQUEST?

I cannot click on 'reply' on a website where you can post comments. I try to reply to someone elses post, it jumps back to the top of the site!

I have 'Yahoo' as my home page, and from there I see articles which I usually like to respond to and make comments. That I can do quite easily, but if I try to post a reply to someone else's comment, the page jumps back to the top and the 'reply' option does not open for me to post my comment. This does not happen all the time, but it is happening quite often now. I have RESET my Firefox browser thinking that was the problem, but it still persists.
Thank you for your help.

The first thing you can try is to clear the cache and cookies.
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

My MacBook Pro is now asking for a login. When I enter my passcode, it goes to a blue screen and back to the login screen. I saw several older posts, but nothing recently. I am running Snow Leopard.

My MacBook is now asking for a password. When I login, it loops to a blue screen, and back to the login. Incorrect logins create a shaking of the login screen. I tried restarting with the shift key depressed, with no luck.

I performed a hard shutdown, and upon start I could access my system without logging on. I'm not sure what caused the issue, but I have not booted up in almost a week.

Since an automatic update the "Post to Vodpod" button (supposedly developed in concert with Firefox) no longer works, how do I get it back?

The "Post to Wordpress widget from http://vodpod.com/wordpress no longer works after Firefox did an automatic, unrequested update.

The button sounds like it sends a video to vodpod.com but that doesn't match what I see for the extension. The other two extensions came up with a search for vodpod but don't specifically mention vodpod.

Need the old announcement back not to post technical questions here

Not that it was ever very effective. But, better than nothing.
I'm beginning to see a number of posts with questions and responses that don't belong here, but in the appropriate forum (to which they haven't yet been moved.) I would like to see this forum still reserved for discussions or doesn't-fit-elsewhere feedback only.
I'm seeing one post with replies, which is almost a day old; it hasn't been moved.
I can understand wanting to help someone and not let their question langish, but I wouldn't want to see this become too common.

If they don't agree, they (you) can choose to do what they want. I'm not suggesting any limits on what people can say here; that's their right completely. But, some may, perhaps, see the correctness -- or not -- in the suggestion (not demand) I made, which, if it wasn't made, they might not even begin to consider.
My remarks were not intended to inhibit people from making any response to someone who mistakenly posts here. I believe I suggested they could refer the poster to the appropriate forum. Again, how or in what fashion, someone chooses to respond is entirely up to them.
It would have been over the top if I had been in any way scolding, but my remarks and tone were far from that.
If this forum bears any semblance to the euphemistically named "community," these kinds of disagreements are inherent in the very nature of any community and I'm ready to live with that.
If someone mistakenly posts a technical question in the wrong technical forum, I usually answer their question, anyway, if possible -- I'm not a sticker, or hardass, as some may be, when that occurs. But, I think the nature of this particular forum suggests a different approach.
Of course, the ultimate decision rests with the hosts.

How to pass the caught exception in Thread.run back to the main program?

I have following three Java files (simplified from a real world application I am developing, see files at the end of this posting):
1. ThreadTest.java: The main program that invokes the Manager.run()
2. Manager.java: The manager that creates a thread to execute the Agent.run() for each agent
3. Agnet.java: The run() method can throw Exception
My goal is twofold:
1. To execute the run() method of an Agent in a thread (the reason for this is there are many Agents all managed by a Manager)
2. To catch the exception thrown by Agent.run() in the main program, ThreadTest.main() -- so the main program can alert the exceptions
My problem:
Bottomline: I cannot pass the exception thrown by Agent.run() in the Thread.run() back to the main program.
Explanation:
The signature of Thread.run() (or Runnable.run()) is
public void run();
Since it does not have a throws clause, so I have to try/catch the Agent.run(), and rethrow a RuntimeException or Error. However, this RuntimeException or Error will not be caught by the main program.
One work-around:
Subclass the ThreadGroup, override the ThreaGroup.uncaughtException() methods, and spawn the threads of this group. However, I have to duplicate the logging and exception alerts in the uncaughtException() in addition to those already in the main program. This makes the design a bit ugly.
Any suggestions? Am I doing this right?
Thanks,
Xiao-Li "Lee" Yang
Three Java Files:
// Agent.java
public class Agent {
public void run() throws Exception {
throw new Exception("Test Exception"); // Agent can throw execptions
// Manager.java
public class Manager {
public void run() throws Exception {
try { // <=== This try/catch is virtually useless: it does not catch the RuntimeException
int numberOfAgents = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfAgents; i++) {
Thread t = new
Thread("" + i) {
public void run() {
try {
new Agent().run();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e); // <=== has to be RuntimeException or Error
t.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception(e); // <== never got here
// ThreadTest.java
public class ThreadTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Manager manager = new Manager();
manager.run();
} catch (Throwable t) {
System.out.println("Caught!"); // <== never got here
t.printStackTrace();

The problem is, where could you catch it anyway?
try {
thread.start();
catch(SomeException e) {
A thread runs in a separate, er, thread, that the catch(SomeException) isn't running within. Get it?
Actually the Thread class (or maybe ThreadGroup or whatever) is the one responsible for invoking the thread's run() method, within a new thread. It is the one that would have to catch and deal with the exception - but how would it? You can't tell it what to do with it, it (Thread/ThreadGroup) is not your code.

These timezone definition changes are fairly common, when viewed world-wide.
For notifying Apple, contact the folks at the Apple Support Center or (if you have access) log a bug report. (The folks at Apple might or might not notice any postings made here.)
For the immediate case, updating the timezones yourself is straightforward; the sequence is basically the same on Linux, OS X, Unix and even OpenVMS. Ugly, but it works. (The US folks got to see this mess first-hand a few years ago, but there are other locations that see these sorts of timezone definition changes far more often.)
For those following along that aren't familiar with this sequence, this old posting should get you close when rebuilding your definitions, though the timezone database has moved to IANA.
