Best way to avoid an interface?

so far i have been able to record my keyboard via midi, my synth through a guitar cable with an attachment at the end that plugs it into the line in (not sure what its called) and same goes for guitar
so what i am wondering if there is a simple cheap way to get a mic plugged in without buying an interface
and if so is there any big quality differences without an interface
i have noticed that some of the garage band effects on my guitar produce some static and i am not sure if its the settings or what
thanks : )
also if i would be able to plug in a mixer without an interface
so basically what i am asking is
a. how to plug a mic and mixer into my mac and into garage band without an interface and
b. is there a quality difference (especially with guitar)

ok sweet so the mixer will fix clipping
my band is investing in some drum mics and a new vocal mic too so the mixer will be really helpful
as for the guitar effects in garage band do they sounds pretty professional when they arent clipping?
i would really like to use them but i wanna mek sure they sounds quality when recorded
As long as you are contemplating a mixer, you might as well contemplate an interface. So the best answer to your question: The best way to avoid an interface? Is: Don't! You are using your computer to record audio from a variety of sources - guitar, mic, whatever... why get a second rate solution when a first rate solution exists? If budget is an issue, there are cheap interfaces just like there are cheap mixers. They're cheap enough so you could probably afford both if you needed a mixer and an interface, or some interfaces include the functions of both an interface and a mixer so you'd only need one.
I have a feeling that some of your "clipping" issues would go away with a proper interface that is designed to shuttle sound from the outside world into your computer just the way you want.
You might want to check out a major music retailer like www.sweetwater.com which has a very thorough selection of gear on their website. They are also very helpful if you call them, although don't let them sell you anything you don't want!
Oh, and the guitar effects in GB sound surprisingly good!
Interface!!!

Best way of avoiding SQL injection?

Hey,
I was wondering what you guys would recommend to prevent SQL injections. Now, I know that you can use the PreparedStatement and setString for cases like this:
String userName = request.getParameter("username");
String sqlString = "SELECT * FROM UserTable WHERE USERNAME='" + userName ;but what can you do when you have cases like these:
String userdef_table = request.getParameter("userdef_table");
String userName = request.getParameter("username");
String sqlString = "SELECT * FROM "+ userdef_table +" WHERE USERNAME='" + userName ;Note: userdef_table can be created by the admin so I wont know what tables are around.
thanks,
domet

For Your First Question
1) using PreparedStatement is the best way, but yes you will have to catch the Table Not Found Exception very well in case the passed table deso not exist... Thats The Only Logical Answer For your Query
For Your Second Query
1) Create a String variable which will have the required reflex string ie the text you would liketo have after LIKE keyword and then pass the variable to the prepare statement
this
?% will not work for its wrong SQL query
String likeThis = "%Bill%"; <or what ever>
the Query part will be like this ".......like ?"
setString(....,likeThis);
Hope This Works

Best way to create user interfaces

Hello Everyone,
So far my work with sap NetWeaver development was on the background processes but now i need to create some user interfaces, i read there are more than one way to do this like jsp, HTMLB , WebDynpro , and some others i think.
Can you give me some advises (and guides if it's possible) about what can i use?
The user interfaces must have the same look and feel as the SAP modules. I need to include some uploadcontrols, table views with sorting and paging features, buttons, list box, options buttons, check buttons, etc.
Also i need to send emails on demand and a task scheduler to send remaining by email.
Is there a user interface designer like dreamweaver or something like that to create user interfaces?
Hope you have some time to help me.
Regards.

Importing my iPhoto library into Aperture. Best way to avoid duplicates?

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user. I have been in the very slow and tedious process of transferring my photos from my HP hard drive to my Mac. I used iPhoto for a very brief time before purchasing Aperture 3. (I've used photoshop for years.) I haven't yet Imported or consolidated or whatever the correct term would be the iPhoto library into the Aperture library. I've been avoiding it because I know there are some duplicates. Mainly just a few "Events" from the last few weeks before starting using Aperture. Now with the new update, it seems like it's a great time to get it all consolidated into an Aperture library that I can use in both iPhoto and Aperture. What's the easiest way for me to proceed? I'm sorry for my lack of proper Mac terms....I'm learning!
Thanks so much for your help!
Christy

Clear as mud??
If you want to see all your images - those now in your Aperture Library and those in your iPhoto Library- then you need to merge both Libraries into one Library - I'd import your iPhoto Library into the Aperture Library.
This combined Library will be compatible with both Applications.
To merge your iPhoto Library into the Aperture Library do the following:
Make a backup of your current iPhoto library (libraries)
Upgrade to iPhoto 9.3, if you have not already done so.
Open your iPhoto Library at least once in Photo 9.3 to upgrade the Library.
Unhide all hidden images. You cannot unhide them when viewing the Library in Aperture.
Quit iPhoto.
If you have not already upgraded to Aperture 3.3, do it like this:
Backup your current Aperture library.
Rebuild the Aperture Database using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools: Launch Aperture with the cmd-options-key combination (⌘⌥) firmly held down, then select "Rebuild Database".
After rebuilding upgrade to Aperture 3.3 and launch Aperture to upgrade the Aperture Library.
With Aperture still open, double click your iPhoto Library. Aperture will prompt you, if you want to add or merge your iPhoto Library - choose "Merge". This will avoid importing duplicate images, as far as Aperture can tell that those are the same images - same filename.
You will have to weed out some duplicates yourself - this is best be done by sorting the images by capture date, then duplicate shots will appear side by side.
Post back, if you have more questions.

What's the best way to avoid seams in patterns?

I read an article that suggested avoiding tiles with fractions of pixels, but that does not solve it for me. Here's an enlarged section of a pattern.
I've found ways around it by turning it into a tile, pasting into Photoshop, trimming by a pixel and then filling with the pattern in Photoshop. But, that's a lot of time spent trying to get around a program glitch. Any suggestions?

It helps sometimes. For this pattern I'd rethink the art.
With the new Pattern Builder there's rarely a need to duplicate items. Simply configure the tile with only the art needed:
Note there are no duplicate elements. All you need are primaries.
Setting up art this way eleiminates seams in the middle of objects entirely.

Best way to avoid requirement for network ACL after upgrade to 11g

Hi All,
After upgrade from 10g to 11g, I found Network ACLs required to make code using SYS.UTL_SMTP to work. Otherwise there is an error: ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL).
Do you know an elegant way to get rid of ACLs? I mean to open the network for all user's code, like it was on 10g, instead of checking what is actually needing it and doing specific ACLs for users. Database parameter disabling ACL restrictions seems natural option here, but it looks like Oracle not introduced such.
Kind Regards,
Artzaw

I don't know of a way to disable ACLs, no. I'd imagine that there probably is a hidden parameter that Oracle Support could direct you to. I'm hard-pressed to imagine why you'd really want to disable that functionality, though.
You can create an ACL that allows access to an arbitrary host on an arbitrary port (host => '*.*.*.*' and with NULL lower_port and upper_port values).

Best way to avoid having duplicate copies of songs on multi-account mac?

In our household, we have several ipods, and 4 user accounts on our main household workhorse mac. As our music tastes are different but with some overlap, I wondered if there was alternative to wasting a bunch of harddrive space storing some identical albums in each user's own account? Can I just just set up each users ITunes configuration to use a common / shared folder for the music somewhere outside our own user account zone? Ideally I can see us then just setting up our personal playlists out of that common pool of music? Sounds too simple.
I don't want to sacrifice the separate user accounts, as I have work data in my area which needs to be secured from kids etc..
If so, are there any drawbacks? will it kick up a fuss if several users logon at once? will the ipods cooperate or will mass confusion ensue?
Any ideas or guidance from the i-intellegentsia appreciated...

Strong passwords (everywhere) and don't use the same password in multiple locations.
If you really want to secure your home wireless use Mac address connection authentication, do not allow unknown Mac addresses to connect. It's much stronger than a WPA password alone.

Best way to do batch update of an online database

We have a periodic process which will do batch update of the online database. I would like to have some advice on what is the best way to avoid this operation affecting cache.
We have multiple environments using shared cache, so the total cache size is pretty big. Each environment on average refresh once a day. Some are pretty big in the DB size but not necessary have high traffic, and thus doesn't have high count in the cache. I am wondering if I do a refresh (basically lots of puts) to the db, will the affect the cache? if so, is there a way to not affect the cache?
If there is a way to disable caching of the LN at environment level, that should also work for us as we a 1st tier object cache.
Also, I would like to cleanup the log at the end of the batch update. Will the cleanup process block the reader threads which are set at read_uncommitted?
Thanks!

Josh,
It is possible to use a base API Cursor (with the CacheMode configured) to write entities in a destination EntityStore after reading them from a source EntityStore. The idea is to read the entities using a DPL cursor from the source store, and then use the binding of the destination store to convert the entities to DatabaseEntry objects, and finally store the DatabaseEntry objects using a base API cursor from the destination store.
import com.sleepycat.je.CacheMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
import com.sleepycat.persist.PrimaryIndex;
import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityCursor;
    PrimaryIndex srcIndex = ... // index of source store
    PrimaryIndex destIndex = ... // index of destination store
    EntityCursor<MyEntity> srcCursor = srcIndex.entities();
    Cursor destCursor = destIndex.getDatabase().openCursor(null, null);
    destCursor.setCacheMode(CacheMode.UNCHANGED);
    EntityBinding<MyEntity> destBinding = destIndex.getEntityBinding();
    DatabaseEntry key = new DatabaseEntry();
    DatabaseEntry data = new DatabaseEntry();
    for (MyEntity e : srcCursor) {
        destBinding.objectToKey(e, key);
        destBinding.objectToData(e, data);
        OperationStatus status = destCursor.put(key, data);
        assert status == OperationStatus.SUCCESS;
    destCursor.close();
    srcCursor.close();Please let me know if you have questions.
Obviously, this would be a lot easier if there were an EntityCursor.put method, so that the CacheMode could be set on the EntityCursor. I'll file an enhancement request to add such a method.

What is the best way to get data to a user interface?

Hi,
I'm using labview 6i. I have an application with a handful of "core" vi's that actually run my application, doing the data acquisition, analysis, and control. I am currently using these same vi's for my user interface. I also have a number of vi's that contain menu's for configuring the "core" vi's. My questions is, what is the best way to seperate the "core" vi's from the user interface vi's. Global's, data socket, control references, others?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Sal,
I have been a strong advocate of control refnums ever since LV 6i hit the streets. I recomend you look into using them to provide this conectivity.
You could accomplish this by using a variation on the following.
In your UI, create refnums for each of the controls or indicators that must be monitored or updated. Pass the appropriate refnums to each of the "core.i's" at program init time. Inside each of the core.vi's, use property nodes to read the control's values when appropriate and similarly for display purposes. (Note: Not all boolean mechanical actions are compatible with this technique. In those case you will have to explicitly write false values after find the control to be true or vise versa).
By using this technique, you can keep the UI diagrams clea
n. Depending on your app. the UI diagram could consist of the init's I mentioned above, and a while loop that watches if it's time to exit.

Best way to call methods on similar objects without an interface

Hi,
I have two objects that i need to iterate, they both have the same method i need to call during iteration, but those two objects are from different libraries and i cannot change them to add them as implement interface...
   for (Iterator it = documents.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
           Document1 document = (Document1) it.next();
           document.getName();
But I can also get a documents's collection where the object is Document2 and not Document1 that also has getName(), what's the best way to implement this? I mean i know i can just add if conditions to say if (instanceof) do this or that.. but I don't think this is good as everytime there's a new type of doc i'd have to add one more...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You already know what you need to do. You just don't want to do it.
You can't treat two (or more) instances the same if they aren't the same. Here are three methods:
1. Add code (like you propose) to determine which type you have
2. Create your own classes that extend those classes and have your own class implement your own interface that has the 'getName' method. When you create instances of your own class the constructor can have code that determines which type you have and then use the appropriate 'getName' method. Your app code would use your own classes instead of the ones from the libraries
3. Use reflection to call the 'getName' method.
