CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME THE DISPLAY QUALITY

I have just purchased a new macbook pro 15" 2.4ghz. Im a designer, i havent even created my appleid, im on my sisters... i made a sacrifice to buy this $2700 laptop.
and Im so dissapointed...
I CANT SEE SMOOTH GRADIENTS.. all i see are ugly lines... i dont get it, for such a high class LAPTOP.
Apple support please help me solve this. ive been reading forums about 6bit screens for this laptop.. i dont want to believe that. can someone explain? im returning this...

I can verify that all of Apple's laptops use 18 bit (6 bits per Red, Green Blue) color, which is about 260,000 colors. The OS then using dithering to fake the missing colors. Despite what you have read, they are incapable of 24 bit 'millions of colors'.
The problem with this argument is that, when it comes down to it, the color displays are made up of dithered red, green, and blue elements anyway. We accept that this form of display gives us "full color", so it's difficult to argue that millions of colors can't be represented using the same mechanism. It's not quite 16.7 million (more like 16.3 or something) but Apple's text has always taken care to read "millions of colors" rather than 16.7 million (which you'll still see on the specifications for the Cinema displays).
Just for informational sakes though, these kinds of 6-bit displays don't rely on OS spatial dithering; they actually make use of their very fast switching to perform temporal dithering, switching a pixel between two shades very quickly to generate an in-between shade. That's why for most people the result is usually visually indistinguishable from true 8-bit color, and doesn't look like what you'd see with traditional dithering.
If the OP is noticing severe banding on gradients, it's more likely to be an issue with color profiles than with the display being 6-bit.

Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a...

Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a WRT54G would change from a steady green to steady orange after firmware upgrade? Everything is connecting properly, and I see no change in performance of network other than light change described. Thanks.

The way I understand the Secure Easy Setup button is this.
It will be orange when the router is in normal operation mode. The light turns green when you press the Cisco Systems button (that is orange normally) so that the router will search for the web device you are trying to connect to the router. If you want to disable this feature all together go into your router settings page at 192.168.1.1
Go to the Wireless tab, and then the Advanced Wireless Settings sub-heading, once in there look for the option SecureEasysetup and simply set it to disable (enabled is default) then click the save now and apply the settings. The light should be out now meaning you don't have the Secure Setup feature enabled.
It is just a personal choice to have it on or off, it should not affect router or internet performance unless you hit the button trying to connect a device to the network.

I imagine you are running a Java Program using PAPI that tries to connect to an ALBPM Engine deployed in WLS, right ? If this is the case, you will need to define these extra System Properties in the Java Program running PAPI:
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
-Djava.naming.provider.url=t3://[hostname]:7001
Hope it helps !

Can someone explain how the visit count works? Why would it say I visited a site over 600 times? Anyone know how this counts these visits?

I'm trying to do a detailed log of my computer history. Most of the sites I visited have a visit count of 1, but then I will come across a page that will list 77 or 683 as the visit count. Just wondering if someone can explain how this tracker counts the visits and over what duration of time. Is there a way I can look this up myself?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Can someone explain what the new feature "Webform Security" is for?

I notice there is a new field called "Webform Security" which inserts { module_ccsecurity ] into the form code but I have no idea what this is for and there is no reference to this module in the knowledgebase.
Can anyone offer some details?

Log into your bank, stay logged in and open a new tab. Then visit another site on the internet.
Now lets pretend that on this other site, someone (like the site administrator or a commentor) included a link that pointed to a url such as http://www.YourBank.com/TransferMoney?FromAccount=12345&ToAccount=54321&Amount=1000 and then you clicked the link, the bank would think you were making a legitimate transfer request becuase you were still logged in.
Fair enough, but you probably wouldn't click that link because you're smarter than that. Unfortunately your browser isn't so smart, and it doesn't have to be a link. They could have included an image tag, or css style sheet or javascript file that pointed to that url and your browser would have automatically "clicked" the link on your behalf when it tried to download the resource.
Thats CSRF in a nutshell.
There are ways to mitigate this danger, but its up to site owner (the bank in this example) to make sure this can't happen. As an end user it's mostly out of your hands. This tag appears to be BC's way to mitigate this, and it appears to be similar to other soultions to this problem.
I don't know if it works though, it's not docummented, so your guess is as good as mine. Either way its probably a good idea to include it on your forms.

Can someone explain why the 6270 has no software/f...

Maybe someone can answer, why we don't have any firmware for this phone. Is there a update.

If you mean that it's not supported by Nokia Software Updater, I think that more models are being added to the NSU all the time.
That isn't to say that there are no newer versions of the the other phone models.
Have you checked that you have the latest version?

Can someone explain why the airdisk

I've worked on my computer all day today. Accessing video on a 500GB HD connected to the Airport N via USB in Airdisk mode.
All Day. 7 hours.
Then I get you have been disconnected from the disk message. And for two hours no I can't get my disk back. Now I get unknown user, incorrect password or login is disabled message.
Getting disconnected messages have come more frequently now. I use this disk everyday. If I restart computer the disk just mounts.
Now nothing. Two hours of restarting computers. Airport. Everything.
I've been using this airdisk since Airport N came out. I've dealt with the disconnects because it usually comes right back.
But not now. This is amazingly a pain in the butt. Apple what is wrong with this implementation? Because it surely is not reliable.

Please can someone explain what the firmware numbers me

Hi,
I would like to check whether I have the most up to date firmware for my Zen Micro but the number codes seem to be unfathomable. I have .02.05 and I don't need plays for sure because I don't use a subscription service. Is this the best one to have, because I am not sure if I still have the 24 hours standby mode before going into deep sleep, or whether I have the 4 hour.
Thanks
Isobel

Ditto on ..0.
On most Creative players with a choice of MTP (PlaysForSure) vs. non-MTP firmware--Micro, Sleek (the non-MTP version was in the initial European models; only MTP firmware is in US models or available for download anywhere), now Touch, and presumably Xtra when its MTP firmware releases--the .x.x line means non-MTP firmware; the 2.x.x line means MTP firmware. (The MicroPhoto is different, but from what I gather the non-MTP firmware on the first Singaporean models was a fluke.)
Within each line (as you can see from fred_be9300's changelog), the higher the middle numbers, the more recent the release. Thus ..0 is more recent than .0.02, which is in turn more recent than your current .02.05.

Can someone explain what the application "iDvd" does or work?

I want to learn to use the application called iDvd but not exactly sure what exactly is it used for? Can it be used to decorate dvds with special design stickers like the covers on dvd movies?

Hi.
iDVD allows you to create a Hollywood-style DVD that can contain personal and home videos and slideshows. The DVD can be played in any DVD player and can include motion menus and music, just as the DVDs released by the major labels.
Take a look at this... Apple Support - iDVD
Helpful?

Can someone explain how the background of this site was done?

For learning purposes I'm trying to figure out how they did the background on this site. Some of it I understand but I'm not clear on how the div / class of .mainbackground was done. It's almost like it's partially behind the Content div yet it looks to be in front also, I see there might be some transparency involved but I can't figure it out...here is the site:
http://www.lourdes.edu/donate.aspx

Well, Ok, I kinda got that but I examined it with Firebug and the body has a background repeating image across which I totally understand, it's the div called .mainbackground that I'm not understanding. Here is the CSS for the div I'm confused about:
.mainBackground { background: url("img/mainBackground.jpg") no-repeat scroll center top transparent;
There is a Content div OVER that; how is the .mainBackground div 'under or behind' the Content div?
I don't understand the transparent part either in the above CSS......

Can someone explain how the -C value drops to the -CL value?

Hi all,
sorry if this question is rather silly but Im trying to understand how the system knows when to change the cache from the -C value to the -CL value in Sybase 12.
The official documentation explains this as
-C = "Sets the initial memory reserved for caching database pages and other database server information".
-CL = "Sets a minimum cache size as a lower limit to dynamic cache resizing".
It also states "This option sets a lower limit to the cache. If -c is specified, and -cl is not specified, then the minimum cache size is set to the initial cache size (the -c setting)".
My question is WHEN and HOW does the system know to drop the amount of Cache from the -C to the -CL values?
Example:
-C 6G -CL 2G
Thanks
David

Hi David,
Two common scenarios where this could happen:
If there is a lack of physical memory available on the host machine, SQL Anywhere will lower it's cache size in response. The processes private working set is checked periodically to make sure the cache is backed by physical memory.
If the sum of all images (dbspaces + temp files + internal overhead) is less the the initial cache size, the database server will run with a cache size sufficient to store this information. In your example of -c 6G -cl 2G, this means that if the sum of all possible data that could be in cache was 1GB, the current cache size would be 2GB (even at startup).
Setting an initial cache size close to the value you expect the cache to be is a good idea, internal structures are initialized at startup based on this value.

The latest Safari 5.1.7 update seven times and counting? Is this required or is there something else a foot?

Doublechecking before proceeding. Do you mean that your Apple Software Update keeps offering you the Safari update? Or is something different going on?
Which version of Safari are you currently running? For example, when I go "Help > About Safari", I see:
