BT Infinity - Have i made the right choice?

Hi,
I currently have BT Total Broadband but have today upgraded to BT Infinity which will be installed within two weeks. I have been told that i should recieve a 40mb download and 10mb upload.
The reason for me moving to Infinity was due to the overall speed of the broadband especially with torrents (legal) before anyone asks they downloaded at 2.7kbps on a 2mb line.
Has anyone else made the same move and was it worth it?
Thanks

Ok, BT have never published and will unlikely too on what port clamping is in place at particular parts of the day. However, my friend was upgraded to Infinity (lucky cow) last week and suffored slow speeds. When i went over today (and got a free chinese meal) I change the BT Home Hub 3 wireless settings to transmit a Wireless N signal only, now we are getting about 21mb download speeds and 8Mb upload speeds whereas before we where getting about 10/4 ish
But again, it depends on where you are downloading your 'friends' legal file from and what their upload speeds are and what clamping measures they have on their line!

Need help with PC build for use with Photoshop CS4 Extended - Have I made the right choices?

Hello,
I'm very new to the inner workings of a PC...this will be first time building one from scratch. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be confident. I will use the PC primarily for editing, secondarily for iTunes management. I've heard that I should have, at the very least, an SSD for PS, other apps and the O/S. I'll also have a hard drive for data storage. Do I need yet another SSD for scratch? If so, any recs for one? Also, my current build (which does not include any SSDs) is about $800. What can I skinny down, without sacrificing a huge amount of speed/performance? I am looking for major guidance here...I'm ready to order, but I keep second-guessing my choices. I want to make sure I get this right the first time around. I want this machine to last me a good long while. Any help at all will be HUGELY appreciated!
Here are my current picks:

Make sure the motherboard is the third revision as the earlier two had problems with the i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge)
I prefer Asus motherboards but doesn't mean the Gigabyte is a problem. (I note that it scored 4 eggs...)
May not make a difference in Photoshop but for Premiere the Geforce video cards with GDDR5 are preferred.
The LiteOn iHas 224 does lightscribe which is a nice touch for clients/gifts.
There is no room to save as I would consider your build minimum specs for a nice photoshop experience.
As for SSD drives...my research of reviews and articles makes me feel the technology is not ready for mission critical work. So if you are running a business then I recommend not using SSD drives. Rather look at Raptor 10,000 rpm drive for Windows and Photoshop and use the Spinpoint for storage. If not business then I've read the intel x25 SSD drives are solid but I have no personal experience with them.
Cheers,
Steve

MacBook Air: the right choice for a College student?

Hello there!
I'm buying my first Apple laptop in the near future (probably tomorrow as I like to buy things in store and not online and I live roughly 75 miles from the nearest Apple store and am heading to the mall it's located in on a shopping trip tomorrow, anyway). I currently have a 3 year old Dell that has no battery life at all (it has to be connected 24/7 to an outlet, the mouse clicky button doesn't work, it overheats, and the hardrive has already been replaced not once but twice) and I don't use it for anything other than school, facebook, watching movies via netflix, skype, and listening to music. I've been doing months of research and all has lead me to Apple.
I want this laptop to last me until I am done with my masters and into the first couple years of my teaching career, so roughly 6 years. Is that too much to ask from this machiene?
I'm inlove with the thiness, lightness and portability of the Macbook Air. I use my laptop a lot, this semester I'm finishing out my core requirements and a lot of them are "bullsh*t" classes where I can do nothing and get an A. I would therefore have my laptop with me, I also bring it to friends rooms to study and relax. My goal is to have a laptop that I can write papers, continue to watch movies and use it as a basic machiene. I barely use a cd drive (my aunt is willing to by the drive that goes with the Air) but when I do it's just for burning music to my itunes. I want a machiene that will have a long lasting battery life - that's my biggest concern.
My roomate has a Macbook Pro and keeps telling me that I'd hate the Air.
I've read that people do not like it as it does not have a backlit keyboard. That doesn't bother me as my keyboard currently isn't backlit.
I've also read that people continue to prefer the pro over the air but I am not a fan of the pro just as it is so much bigger.
I barely ever use my USB drive, when I do its to transfer over files that need to be printed. So having only two of them means nothing to me really.
I'm just looking for assistance to help me make my decision. I feel like I already made it but I just want to be sure that I'm making the right choice.
My personal pros/cons:
Pros: lightweight, small, highly portable, amazing webcam, excellent battery life
Cons: it's so thin I feel like I would snap it in two pieces
Thank you so much!

Listen to us, Lovekate!
We know you're eager, but hold out just a little longer--maybe a week or two--for the update! Please! It's the smart thing to do because it may give you options you can use. Kate! Look away from the machines. This way! This way! You can do this. If you don't, you'll feel buyers remorse and that's not good. Hold off. You'll be happy you did...also, don't forget, when you do buy, you get a student discount.
From what you say, you've found the computer you love and don't need any encouragement from us. But here's advise for what you can say to your friends:
(1) To those telling you to get the Pro--you are not going to buy more than you need. With Clouds, and online mail and external hard drives, there is no need for you to haul around anything made heavy with a huge hard drive you'll never fill up. And the Air can do anything a Pro can do excepting update to a bigger hard drive (which you've just explained you don't need--like you don't need the CD drive). And the 13" actually has a longer lasting battery than the 13" Pro.
(2) Why should you get a computer you don't love, and therefore is no fun or joy for you to work on, rather than a computer you love, which you will love working on? Apple rule, "Always get what you love."
(3) To your Dad, you are buying something very like a car. And like a car, if you buy one cheap, it will cost you if it breaks down, needs repairs, or needs replacing. Needing to buy a new cheap car every other year can add up to the same cost as buying a new car that will last you ten years. You are buying a computer that will last you, be reliable, and not need repairs thus interfering with your productivity (by the way, get Apple Care--adds two more years warranty for a total of 3 years--trust us on this. If you can't afford it now, you can hold off buying it till the end of the first year, but do get it!). Apple computers also have good resale value.
In short, as much as it costs, it will be worth it.
Hope that helps, and remember...hold out! or if you've already bought it--you have 14 days to return it.

Worried about whether I made the right decision

I had signed up for BT Infinity on 14-06-2011 and I was moving over from VM so I made a request to move my number over to BT. I had made a upfront payment of £120 to cover the yearly telphone rental charges.
VM came back with "matching" offer but I had attached some conditions to the new offer and said I will only accept the offer if my conditions were met. A few days later unknown to me my BT order got cancelled, which I only came to know when a BT CS called me up to inform me about the cancellation. She assured me that the payment £120 will be refunded to me within 5-7 working days.
I had contacted the online billing chat service twice and each time they told me that the refund has been authorised and I should receive my refund in the next 5-7 working days. I also posted on the billing forum and contacted the mods as suggested. I am yet waiting for somebody get back to me.
I have been waiting for this refund for over 2 weeks now and still no sign of it.
In the meantime VM couldn't "agree" to my conditions so I placed a order once again with BT, which is going to be installed next week.
I never had any billing related problems with VM and they always resolved it without any issues.
BUT now I am worried whether I made the right decision.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hope the installation goes smoothly (it should), then you can go down the pub Saturday and celebrate with the £120

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

The right choice

hey, i have been reading around this site a. Is there no live chat at all for support or sales to discuss the best solution?? anyway.. i need some help making the right choice and setup with skype for my small business.
There is two employees currently, we would like to have our own company number so we dont have to use our personal mobile numbers. if i am out of the office or just in general i can forward the calls to my mobile, or turn on the answering machine.I understand skype can do this.
is my undertsanding correct for the following-->
1--Me and my business partner both download skype for business.
2--One of us downloads skype manager ( or is it a cloud thing?)
3--Skype manager then adds both of our "skype for business" accounts to the skype manager
4--Manager can then allocate funds
5-- we both use skype for business as normal
Q--how do i use skype business or skype manager, and have the premium membership etc., and what would this cost me per month ( australian)
Q--how does a skype phone number work when you have two employees?
Q--Are the skype numbers associated to the business account or the skype manager account
Q--do i even need skype manager for just two employees when really only one person will
make most of the calls.
I may have this understanding wrong, and maybe someone can tell me a more effecient way for my small business to set up skype etc?
thanks for the help

Hi Martin
With all you've said, the only advice I can give you is "go ahead"!
You already know what to expect. Max out the RAM, and you should be set.

Is it the right choice to make ODI as ETL on OBIEE?

Hi ,
I have multiple source (file,xml,progress,express)
And target is oracle (warehouse)
Can ODI make the dimensional table from the multiple source?
Can ODI do support the OLAP ? which way?
Is it the right choice for DW with OBIEE?
Sorry if this question will shown my foolish about BI.
because I once use ODI on Data Integration part not BI part.
Thank you

Cristiano,
My first suggestion is to rename your file. The "%20" in "cSegno%20flash%20page.html" indicates you actually saved it as "cSegno flash page.html." Spaces are not a good thing in file names. Better to use hypens or underscores when yon want to delineate word separation, like this (mixing the two conventions in one example): "cSegno-flash_page.html."
I believe your site can be recreated using Dreamweaver to write the HTML and CSS, and can probably be affected using hot spots or jquery. Check out jquery solutions here. Whether you yourself can do the conversion will depend upon your coding skills. And people here will be happy to help.

Is Netweaver the right choice?

We have recently upgrading our portal/webdynpro server to NW 7.0 Support Stack 14 (J2EE only). While this stack level fixed some issues that we were having (in particular cleanup of JCO pools to prevent expired SSO ticket errors) it also introduced some other problems with Oracle. This has led us to the discussion of whether Netweaver is the right choice for our custom application development environment. I'm posting this to get some feedback on what other companies are doing with their Netweaver enviroments. I'm particularly interested in custom application development using webdynpro and the Netweaver Portal.
We've been running various permutations of the Netweaver platform since 2005 (BI, Portals, and now ERP). We are using a single J2EE instance to host the SAP EP, a custom jsp "intranet", and our webdynpro apps (we have 6 custom webdynpro apps). Our user base is somewhere between 150-250 users. We use the portal to access these custom apps, our BW web templates, and some SAP transactions. With the rolllout of some of these custom apps, our portals environment is now becoming mission critical and we seem to continue to have problems with the stability of the J2EE engine on the portal machine.
Are other customers having stability problems with NW04s? Are other customers using web dynpro and SAP's enterprise portal for Mission Critical applications? If so, what do your environments look like? If not, what are you using for custom applications that communicate with SAP and other systems?
Thanks for any and all input

Assuming your legacy apps don't need to update the new OM system an MDB sounds reasonable. You may want to consider passing the messages as XML and using a library (JAXB/P, castor etc) for parsing / inserting into a database.
You should also work out how to handle technical failures updating the legacy database and poison messages (i.e. when an invalid message is received). You may decided to automatically retry technical failures a set number of times before moving them to a backout queue. There's no point retrying poison messages as they'll repeatedly fail, but you may need to fix / manually insert them.

Is MDB the right choice?

We currently have a legacy order management application which is going to be replaced by a popular off-the-shelf OM product. The data modeling and concepts of the new OM application are different from the legacy application. Currently there are quite a few applications which directly connect to the legacy DB by JDBC etc for their data needs. In order to avoid impact on those applications it has been decided to keep the legacy DB as it is and feed the data from new Order Mangement application to the legacy application. We cannot use DB level replication due to some constraints. I am planning to create the new application, using MDB. It will subscribe to the messages generated by the business events happening in the new Order Management application, translate the data to legacy format and insert the data into legacy DB.
Is MDB the right choice for this or do we have a more appropriate way of doing this?
Also please let me know if there are any desing patterns which address this kind of a problem.

Icons in the addon bar have moved from the right hand corner to the left

Hi everybody,
I've recently updated to the most current Firefox 4b10. I'm currently using the addon bar on the bottom that holds several addon-related icons (like firebug etc.). Those do still work, but for some reason they have moved from the right-hand corner of the addon-bar (where they have always been) to the left side for no apparent reason.
I know it's kind of a little issue, but it is really disturbing since I keep looking in the wrong corner after having the icons there for so many years. Is there any way I can revert that?
Thanks!

Hello Everyone, I want to purchase an ipad ,please suggest whether ipad mini is the right choice to go for or not?

I am planning to buy an ipad mini, please suggest me whether its the right choice to go for or not ?
Hows the display?

The Ipad 4 has a stronger processor, and better graphics and display than the Mini. but they can basically do the same things.
Obviously one is smaller than the other, but at the end, the games will still play on both, and you may not even notice a difference.

HT2729 I have been trying to move a 1 hour movie from my Mac to my iPad without success. I know I have clicked all the right boxes but iTunes is not cooperating.??

Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

I have done al the right things to set up home sharing for mine and my sons itunes lib but i still not getting the icon showing in the menu for us to select can anyne help?

Hi I have done all the right things to set up the home sharing, turned it on, aurthorised it with the same details, but we still have not got the home icon in the menu to select. can anyone help?

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

RMI: Is it the right choice?

I want to make an application that connects to 1 other peer. So I'd run the application and if I type in the IP of someone else running the same application, we can connect to each other and do stuff like chatting. Is RMI the right choice to make this happen?

I would use Apache MINA library. Its easy to use, fast, more firewall friendly than RMI, more language-independent transmission format. http://mina.apache.org/
Really. Where does it say that MINA knows a firewall from third base?
Mina is a Java NIO library that just does TCP and UDP communications and intra-process pipes.
It's not a competitor for RMI in any sense that I'm aware of.
