Brainstorming ideas for new infrastructure

Good afternoon,Wasn't quite sure where to put this so I put it under Best Practices. Feel free to move it if there's a better spot. It sort of covers all topics and is more of a high level conversation.I'm toying with a few different options so I want to lay it out on "paper" and see what others might think. A few weeks ago I started as the IT Manager for a manufacturing company with 2 companies under it's umbrella located at 2 sites. We've been experiencing 20-40% year-over-year growth for the last 6 years. An MSP has been taking care of things up until this point.Our current infrastructure looks like this:Microwave P2P between the 2 buildings. Building 1 houses all networking/WAN equipment, Building 2, on the other side of the P2P, is basically an island and gets all of it's connectivity from Building 1. Only equipment on side at...

  • Need ideas for new PJC/Java Beans

    Hello everybody,
    I am always looking for new ideas about the Java Bean and PJC stuff. Sometimes I have good ideas about this, but sometimes it is quite a pain to find something new and innovative.
    If you have ideas or needs about this, let me know in this thread.
    (Sorry Oracle staff if I am going beyond my rights by using the Forum for that purpose)

    Francois ,
    I think that we all need to thank you for all your hard work promoting Oracle Forms.
    Your input and constant support on this forum is greatly appreciated.
    But I personally think that all this needs to be addressed by Oracle.

    And I agree with you.
    You can go as far as the Forms let you go...

  • Who do I contact with an idea for new Apple product?

    I have an idea for a new Apple product which I believe could allow them to venture into a new tech maket. However I am unable to find an e-mail address for anyone even moderately related to the Apple design team. Any help with contact details would be much appreciated.

  • Idea for new iphone accessory

    I think I have a very nice idea for a new iphone accessory, one that would probably require the upcoming 3.0 software, since it would require a external piece of hardware.
    I myself have no technical skills. So development would have to be done by a third party.
    Actually the same is true for the financial side. Really all I have is an idea, and I am sure that my idea is new. There isn't anything like it on the market yet.
    What to do??

    Get a patent for it. Once you have the patent, shop it to other iPhone accessory manufacturers.

  • I have ideas for new iphone who do i contact

    i have many ideas for the new apple iphone but i do not know who to contact

    Like any company, Apple will not accept unsolicited ideas.
    Tell your mother.  I find that Mothers are generally very supportive.

  • Idea for new film camera

    https://www.flickr.com/groups/67377471@N00/discuss/72157655550680262/72157653262873213 I posted in the "I Shoot Film" group on Flickr in response to "Fantasy Film Wish" where I describe what I believe to be the next evolution of film photography.  I'm a big Minolta and Sony fan.  I wanted to write you and ask if Sony would consider making a new generation of film camera based on a film that could be shot at different ISO's via in-camera pre-flashing of the film as the next big evolution of film photography?  Ideally this new film camera would use the MC/MD mount lenses where aperture rings are still used, and also manual focus.  We film shooters need a new camera with next generation abilities that affords the use of older lenses.  The idea to use pre-flashing of film on a frame by frame basis means a new method of exposure of film, and also a new way to process it, as all frames would be exposed to the same negative contrast density regardless of ISO applied.  These new generation of film cameras would be variable ISO film cameras just like their digital counterparts.  I hope you will truly consider my idea and think what it would mean to film and film photography for coming generations of photographers. Thank you. Sincerely, Craig Janeway

  • Idea for new (stationary) notebook

    This is just feedback summary on the HP Pavilion dv7-3135eo, I got. So if you got a forum for "How would you layout your own notebook" this topic belongs...
    If I could upgrade this notebook, I would turn it into a stationary notebook. Partly because I only want to work with it under appropriate circumstances (fx. a livingroom) and not somewhere random. And partly because I dislike the size and weight of normal stationary scums.
    1. So first I would get rid of the battery, that I never use: for lesser weight and lesser configuration options.
    2. I would also get rid of the touchpad, that I never use and just keep locked.
    3. And my pc would also have to be right-handed, so that the mouse would have to be plugged in next to the keyboard with an USB lead in the right side. (No wireless mouse, cause they got a nasty habit of going into sleep for power savings).
    - And following the mouse pad could maybe be pulled out from underneat and tighten somehow. (No advertisement on it cause it tend to confuse the laser.)
    4. All other data + power leads + the wire lock against theft would have to be on other side or behind, so that you could move mouse freely on right side.
    5. Also get rid of DVD drive, since this media is far more likely to fail than USB, plus it makes far more noise. In short I don't need DVD and never use it.
    6. When the machine gets very hot probably near the processor, you can feel it up through the keyboard. But since I don't need the touchpad, I would move the keyboard forward - closer to the user - and somehow raise the keys. In the notepad they are all flat on the internal keyboard and that increases the possibility of striking two keys simultanously when playing realtime games by mistake. So I would raise the keys somehow like on a normal external board.
    7. The materials should also be more unliniar on the surface, cause you have to wipe them clean all the time for all the dirt that easily hangs to them.
    8. The webcam should have a switch off permanently switch.
    9. The wire that locks the notebook is good, cause there lots of addicted rats out there who get another shot just by stealing a notebook. Maybe that could be improved?
    10. Maybe HP could build in some stuff, so that you could lock the PC from using internet just like you can block a creditcard?
    11. I would also like a pen to mark the casing with ID with the sale.
    12. If it is considered nessecary to make an image backup after completing configuration for use, HP might as well sell an usb external harddisk with the notebook.
    13. I personally use the pc for gaming, online medias and internet communication. So for software I would like a sandbox to install new games into, before they ruin anything. And also complete CPU + internet bandwidth overview, because when playing online I don't want automatic update programs running in the background. And when the game is slow I need to check it.

    Yes! and when you are in a hostel or a hotel there should be table and so on like in a livingroom. What I mean is: that it should be low weight (transportable) but not more than when you want to use it that you have to sit correctly with enough space to pull out mouse (try playing world of warcraft with touchpad...) and so on. Just pull out the battery and you will naturally get it, because then you'll need a place to plug it.
    When I bought mine I immediately also bought the wire cable to lock it with. Some other guy just told me that he got his stolen by closing his eyes tired for just 5 minutes at an eating place where also lots of drugaddicted come. All cables were still there infront of him except the machine.
    I also noticed that dirt can find its way through the keyboard even when you clean the surface. So if it is impossible to make a laptop with high keys all in normal size (and no [fn] functions because of lack of keyboardspace), then I would prefer the (stationary) notebook without both touchpad and keyboard and have them external instead. And even if they both were external I would still prefer the laptop way of opening the screen (secured for transport when closed ) instead of a screen with a big heavy foot and no shielding the screen when transporting it. The new computers with machine hiding behind the screen still need a heavy foot to hold up the screen, and so I think the notebooks are still better. Even besides the weight the notebooks are 500% better than ordinary stationary pc's, because you do not have to concern about inside the computer. Just buy a new laptop instead of updating single components ...

  • Idea for new release of firmware RM-217

    Fix should turn the light of the keys off when you play videos,because it stays always on consuming battery.
    Another fix would be a way to choose how many colors for the screen like 64k,262k,or 16M just to safe battery.
    I dont know if the can do that or put some contrast menu or something, because the battery life is always very poor??¿
    Dont you think so?
    Please NOKIA hear me!
    Thanks!

    As you might know this is a user-user board and it is mainly run by costumers and a few moderators of course. But that doesn´t mean that the one or other from Nokia staff my have a look here.
    If you want to make sure that your suggestions reaches the right persons, contact Nokia via:
    www.europe.nokia.com/contactus
    There you´ll find a detailed selection of your country and eventually your idea is realized within the next update or model.
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.
    The day we stop improving is the day we stop being good.

  • Idea for new freeze track feature...

    Dear all,
    I just wanted to run this by you all before submitting it to the suggestions box to see if you reckon it would be a good idea, and even if it would be feasable to make...
    What I was thinking is this:
    Would it be possible to render just an instument, or just some of the effects that it uses, to freeze while still retaining the ability to change other plugins?
    I got this idea from a track I am making at the moment at home which uses several instances of sculpture. My poor little PB isn't up to having all of them running at the same time without freezing them, preticularly with all the other tracks. Now sometimes I have a track done, but then realise when adding others that I would quite like to EQ it a little to help it sit better. In order to do this, I have to unfreeze the track, but then it is often impossible to hear it relative to the other tracks. Do you see what I mean?
    What would be really cool would be a function to just freeze sculpture, but to allow the possibility of ading EQ etc on top of the frozen file. I know I could bounce it, but then you lose all the possibilities of being able to change/add notes etc after, or indeed to just tweak other settings within in.
    This wouldn't only need to apply to EQ either - you could ad verb, delays, compresors, anything.
    I guess, for it work, you would need to have a 'freeze' tool that would let you select which elements of the channel strip you want to freeze, and then complete the task by hitting play.
    What do you think? Is it a good enough idea to submit, and also something that others would like to see, or is it just something that really isn't worth bothering with?
    Best, Fred

    Yes, I see what you mean about the plugins... It could still work with just freezing the instrument... The aux/bus trick is the way to do it, and I have been using it, but I was just thinking of something that could, potentially, be quite a neat work-around, and depending on your work-flow, it could speed things up as everything would be on one channel-strip. Because I work predominantly in the arrange and at home only have a small screen, it would be quite useful for me, but to be honest, I could just get the auxes up in the arrange. I have my busses showing anyway. Just an idea! Best, Fred

  • Idea for new ipod accessory

    hi!
    on an adventure trip in my last holidays i had an idea.
    I thought about combining a gps device with my ipod and it would be really easy to do that (if i were apple and had the sources of the ipod os :))
    you connect a serial gps mouse, start an application on the ipod and when you press a button, a *.kml file with the coordinates is stored in an extra folder.
    when you doubleclick the file, google earth is loaded and you can exactly see the waypoints of your trip
    and in some years you have a nice overview of all holidays, journeys and special places you have been.
    i'd buy one
    what do you think about it?
    greets,
    joe_

    Nice idea Joe.
    But Apple Discussions is for technical support, but feel free to tell apple about it.

  • Idea for new area of ITunes Library

    I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I wanted to submit a suggestion for the future.
    I have all kinds of audio files on my ipod including music and audiobooks and it's not too difficult to understand the difference, but aside from audiobooks, I have quite alot of recordings from live talks, seminars, conventions and public meetings which I listen to for traning and also work related, and I would like an another area to store these.
    I saw recently "Ringtones" was added to ITunes, I'd like to propose the idea to have a section for "Live Recordings" or "Training Media"
    Are there others like me who would like to see this?

    If you go to Edit - Preferences - General, you can add Audiobooks to your choice on the main scren; however, I agree that these ought to be editable so you can use what you want

    There are several options for doing just that. Try "L5 Remote", for instance. Note that they all need the purchase of an IR transmitter accessory.
