This timeless discussion is warranted a new look with the announcement of the new names coming out. According to History of Mac OS on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historyof_MacOS) the Mac OSX Cat Names are as follows:
Mac OS 10 (Cheetah)
Mac OS 10.1 (Puma)
Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar)
Mac OS 10.3 (Panther)
Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)
Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)
Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Mac OS 10.7 (Lion)
Mac OS 10.8 (Liger)
First of all, Liger? Are they being serious? In my opinion Liger's do not count, as they're a manmade genetic construction like hybrid fruit and don't exist in nature. I even thought Snow Leopard was weak coming out right after Leopard. What happened to the Bobcat, Ocelot, Caracal Cat, Jaguarundi, Marbled Cat, and most importantly (my favorite) the Lynx. I vote Lynx for 10.9.There is no such thing as a "Bandersnatch" in reality, and I don't even know what a catamount is. Indeed I don't think Tiglon should count either. I guess it makes sense that Lynx sounds similar to Linux, but they could still use things like Bobcat and Ocelot. Yeah I wonder what their new theme will be for OS 11, or will they just keep going? 10.10, 10.11, 10.12? I hope not, after 10.9 I hope they move on to 11. To the guy who questioned the validity of 10.8 being Liger, you might be right but there were sources listed on the page, I didn't check them out myself though. If you find further information on that let us know. There also wasn't any article for 10.8 to support it, like there was for 10.7.
Etresoft, I don't think it will take only 28 years to reach Mac OS 30. There's no way to tell the amount of years for sure, but if they keep the pattern of getting to .9 then going up 1 that's 193 to go. (including 10.7 Lion)
I'd like to remind the last few posters that the pattern here is types of cats, not specific cats or obscene references to cats.

Hi everyone,
Just a general question about Apple's cool feline names.
Jaguar, Panther, Tiger. Was there one before Jaguar? There must only be a few left. Any suggestions/guesses as to what they may call the next version?Check this link out:

HT201304 What's my cats name?

That's amazing, the forum parser thinks you have a problem with "iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)" and refers to this KB article:

I want to write a method that find screen by name: however it
seems that screen doesn't have a property or method that returns
its instance name...
in the following code:
for(var i=0;i<root.numChildScreens;i++){
var cat=root.getChildScreen(i);
trace(cat.instanceName); //undefined
trace(cat.label); //undefined
trace(cat.name);//undefined
trace(cat); //valid
I know how to reference a screen by just doing
parentScreen.childInstanceName, by I want to do it dynamically,
hence the reason for the code above.
please help!
thanks!Hello Abhijeet,
Here's what I think you're looking for -
tables spfli.
parameters : p_test like spfli-carrid.
select-options : s_carrid for spfli-connid.
DATA:
descr_ref TYPE ref to cl_abap_elemdescr.
START-OF-SELECTION.
descr_ref ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( p_test ).
WRITE: / 'Typename :', descr_ref->absolute_name.
WRITE: / 'Kind :', descr_ref->type_kind.
WRITE: / 'Length :', descr_ref->length.
WRITE: / 'Decimals :', descr_ref->decimals.
WRITE: / 'Output Length:', descr_ref->output_length.
WRITE: / 'Help ID :', descr_ref->help_id.
Kind------> data type (C , I , etc.,)
Help ID---> data element (usually).
There are other classes in ABAP of the form CLABAPDESCR which can provide you with other information. These classes all belong to what is called RTTI (Run Time Type Identification). However, these are available only from 46c. You can explore the other classes, as I think they would be very interesting and useful in the future.

Open minimised window in the same desktop.
Do anyone know a preference, so when I open a minimised window, it doesn't open in the desktop from where it was minimised but in which I'm currently working...?
Dear you have to create relation between the blocks then you can achieve this like:
1) Create two canvases in your form (canvas1 and canvas2).
2) Create a window in your form with name Window2 now you have two windows (Window1 and Window2).
3) now set the property 'Primary Canvas' of each window (Window1 = Canvas1, window2 = Canvas2)
4) Now create database block of you main table with (CAT, NAME, DEPT) fields and select the Canvas1 in the layout wizard.
5) Create another database block with same table but this time select only 3 fields (CAT,SAL, DATE) and at the time of creation mention relation between blocks in the Data block wizard (block1.cat = block2.cat) and select the Canvas2 in the layout wizard.
6) Now create check box field name MASTER_CHBOX in first block and set Database Item property no of this check box item and set the Value When Checked property to Y and N for Value When unChecked.
7) Create a trigger on CheckBox Item and paste below code in it.
if :MASTER_CHBOX = 'Y' then
show_window('WINDOW2');
go_item('SAL');
end if;

Open new window in the same form
Hi
I created a form with 6 records displayed. I have a check box for each record. I would like to select a record and make the check box checked. Once I check a checkbox I would like to automatically open a new window in the same form with further details of the checked record.

how many times can you install the academic version of fcp 3 with the same serial numbers. its not working now and i think it may be because its been installed to the max. anyone know?
I would suggest you call the Applestore and order FCP 5.1. When three was written, os10 didn't even have a big cat name yet. I've been told that there are problems with it and 10.4.8
You should be aware that multiple installs on different machines is very illegal and apple can fall all over you if it wants to. Posting such info on Apple's website is just plain stupid. But hey, whatever. -
iCal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?
We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS. -
How can i run Adobe After Effects CS5 on my 32-bit computer?

You can't. It's impossible. End of story.
You need to have a computer capable of running a 64-bit operating system like the latest Apple OS 10 -- which cat name are they up to now, Ocelot or something? --- or Windows 7.
Now, when you you get the Creative Suite CS5 installation disks, Adobe thoughtfully includes the previous 32-bit versions of Premiere and AE. But since you're paying for all those new 64-bit bells & whistles, it does seem a little silly, n'est-ce pas? It's intended as an intermediate measure.
Go get yourself a new computer and operating system. And if you can't, put up with what you have.
I personally had to wait 9 months before I could afford a new 64-bit machine. -

I am replacing my 3 year-old MBP which never made it to the Leopard stage, because I was chicken. This one is going to be cleaned up and given to a family next door from a real poor area of Mexico and until they saw this had never seen a notebook. So I am excited about this.
anyway, I am configuring a new MBP together and I have a few questions that are probably pretty basic, but still questions. I should have thought of this before, but is getting a new MBP with Snow Leopard installed on the machine (and I was old by the support guy who helped me with the configuration since it will be used for a graduate school of architecture, planing, and preservation program too.
any feeling on jumping from 10.4.11 (which I guess is Tiger OS X) to Snow Leopard and totally bypassing Leopard? It sounds like Snow Leopard is pretty much a major "update" to Leopard, but that is probably wrong. (Just a side questions, what does the Operating System OS X mean and do all of the operating system have OS X or did it start at OS 1 and will keep going up?)
Is there a time when a person who wants to try and focus on school or other important things can pretty much be sure that a new OS has had sufficient time for the major bugs to be worked out and most likely can feel safer about making the purchase than if they had not waited and did not really care-thinking that Apple would get them fixed and the updates would fix the problems? I do not tend to think this way, but in this situation I am going out a bit from my usual "way" and living or should I saying hoping that this has happened and is true? Does that make sense? So, any feeling if SL has been out long enough now that Apple has had a chance to make sure it is doing well and has pretty much been integrated into the hardware and properly functioning of the notebook as a "single unit?"
thanks in advance for any feedback and I apologize if the wording was incorrect or I did not explain myself clear enough.You should not find it hard to jump from using Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) directly to using Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6). Some things are a little different, including a few changes to system preferences & how the Finder handles changing views from one folder to the next, but it is fundamentally the same from a user interface standpoint. In fact, there are very few interface differences you would notice between using Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) & Snow Leopard.
What you will most likely notice the most when going from a 3 year old MBP to a new one is that its response is substantially quicker: startup is quicker, apps open faster, Finder tasks complete in less time, etc. This is due both to the more powerful CPU & other components in the new machine & to the new OS, which is more efficient than previous ones.
"Mac OS" is the generic name for Apple's proprietary operating system that runs Macintosh computers. There were versions 1 through 9 of this operating system, starting with the one developed by Apple for the first Mac that appeared in 1984, but the first version to get the "Mac OS" designator was Mac OS 8, released in 1997. It was followed by Mac OS 9, released in 1999. All of these versions can be considered decedents of the first one, with strong family resemblances both in their internal structures & graphic user interfaces. Mac OS X is much different internally, incorporating many components of the venerable UNIX operating system first developed in 1969 at AT&T's Bell lab, plus a graphic user interface update (named "Aqua") more suited to its greatly improved capabilities. It is not a "pure" UNIX variant but instead a synthesis of UNIX & Apple's old & current technologies.
Each major revision of Mac OS X has had a cat name & a "point number" like Cheetah for 10.0 or Tiger for 10.4. Each revision has brought new features to the OS as well as under-the-hood improvements. Unfortunately, these improvements come at a cost in terms of legacy support. Some applications require revisions to work with each new major version, as do some of the drivers for external hardware. Generally speaking, fairly current apps & hardware drivers have gotten or will get revised for Snow Leopard if needed, but there are no guarantees that all ever will.
There are also bugs in every major OS release from every OS maker. Generally, these are obscure, affect few users significantly, & are eliminated in updates released after the first major version, but even the updates can introduce new bugs. Snow Leopard appears to be more bug free than any prior Mac OS major release, but the possibility exists that some bug will affect you in some critical way.
That said, the chances of this are low, & you should not read too much into reports here of problems unless they are widespread & describe very closely the same problem. Keep in mind that there are already several million copies of Snow Leopard in use; any really widespread problems would result in tens of thousands of complaints & probably make the evening news as well. -
Hi All,
I am using ago function in Answers it works fine
But
when observing the data, data is mismatched at particular Product category, why because two category s (A,B) has same subcategory name (Basic)
CAT Sub Cat
A ------ Basic
A ------ Value Add
A ------ High
B ------- Basic
B ------ low
B ------ medium
My report has five columns like CM -1 , CM-2,CM-3,CM-4,CM-5 ,
when i was selecting cat A and subcat is Basic, Data as below ....
CM-1 CM-2 CM-3 CM -4 CM -5
A basic A basic B basic B basic A basic
if sub cat name is different no issue
Please help me.
Regards
RmYou can create a compound key of Cat + SubCat (concatenation in a logical column is a quick win) which will render the SubCats unique and assign that as the logical level key:
SubCat:
A-Basic
A-Value Add
A-High
B-Basic -

you need to make it as below for multi parameter to work correctly

R.I.P. FreeHand
The depth of my hatred for Adobe tonight is nearly boundless.
Like most longtime FreeHand users, I greeted Adobe's purchase of
FreeHand with a sense of foreboding and dismay. I hoped that Adobe
would continue to support and develop this extraordinary drawing
tool. Stupid me. FreeHand ran circles around that lumpy piece of
junk called Illustrator. Always did, always will. Macromedia knew
this when they bought FreeHand from Aldus (Remember them? Aldus
pretty much invented desktop publishing), eons ago, way back in the
1990s. And then Adobe got so big and powerful that the FTC allowed
Adobe to buy FreeHand and gut Macromedia's dead carcass. Corporate
feeding frenzies rule our nasty, modern world.
FreeHand MX 11.0.x was working well up to or around Mac OSX
10.2.x. I recently bit the bullet and "upgraded" to OSX 10.4.x (aka
"Tiger" -- argh, Apple, ditch the cat names, OK? Since most of
those big cats are on the brink of extinction, naming your flagship
OS after an endangered species is a weird, ironic marketing
choice).
All hell has broken loose since I "upgraded." Simply turning
on FreeHand's "snap to grid" and turning it off again is now
impossible. Adobe offers a lame "TechNotes" workaround that doesn't
truly work.
Adobe doesn't care. And why should it? Adobe only wants us
all to buy their version of some fabulous next new thing -- like
"CS" (aka "Creative Suite" -- an Orwellian doublethink marketing
campaign if ever there was one). Adobe is nothing more than another
money-grubbing corporate nightmare. Customer loyalty and
trustworthy products don't figure in Adobe's bottom line... let
alone respect or commitment to the venerable art of graphic design.
I used to love getting up in the morning. I used to love
turning on my Mac and making art. I thought I was the luckiest man
in the world! I could make art and design and pay my bills! Stupid
naive me.
Hours of my life melted away forever this afternoon. I'll
never get them back. I was just trying to make some graphic design
for a paying client. For every five minutes I spend on an idea
these days, I spend an hour or so trying to make software express
it. The ratio of art to product is crazy... especially considering
the stupid amount of money Adobe charges for products that never do
what Adobe says they'll do. It's all snake oil and trickery.
I wish I could go back to FreeHand 3.1. It was a brilliant
piece of software. R.I.P. FreeHand. Rest in peace. Shame on Adobe.
Shame. I'm tired and sad tonight, and my deadline is shot to hell.
I used to make digital art, but now I'm just another digital ditch
digger. Just another consumer, hooked on this never-ending heroin
spiral of "upgrade" after never-ending "upgrade."
I looked at the very first serious drawing I ever made with a
vector drawing program (FreeHand 2.0) tonight. You can see it
here. From a
purely technical point of view, it's not a bad drawing... and the
technology that made it possible is gone forever. Bought and sold
by the jerks who own the code.
OK. I'm done with this rant. Thanks for reading it. I guess
I'll go check my email now... an inbox full of more image-based
spam peddling pump 'n dump stock market scams. I used to love the
'net, almost as much as I used to love drawing with FreeHand.Greetings and thanks to everyone who's posted to this thread.
Interesting insights and opinions here. Special thanks to those of
you who sent private messages of condolence and support via my
site. I took a few days off and I'm feeling a little better.
I stopped in here off and on and decided to wade in again
with what will probably be another longwinded epic-style post. I
tend toward verbosity, especially with a subject like this. In
addition to raising my blood pressure a notch or two, the subject
of FreeHand's demise sparks some passion in me. This will be a long
post because I want to attempt clarity. Clarity sometimes takes
time.
Navale's post regarding the fact that Adobe charges full
price for a broken FreeHand is spot on, as is darrel's car
metaphor. If GM sold a car, and the engine exploded when a buyer
first turned the key, well, that would be the lead story on the
evening news. Congress would launch an investigation. I think
there's a federal law somewhere that requires carmakers to make
parts available for 10 years after a car is released to the public.
I could be wrong, but I think that's true. Anyway, there's no
parallel in the software world... no protection for consumers. It's
buyer beware and blame the consumer if things don't work as
advertised. While the speed of software development makes a ten
year 'parts' guarantee impractical, I don't think some sort of
mandated guarantee of maybe 3 years is unreasonable.
I appreciate Judy Arndt's post. "Keep in mind that if Adobe
is going to put it's logo on a FreeHand box, the product is going
to have to live up to Adobe standards." Well said, Judy. As for the
EPS, PDF, OpenType, and "old code" issues, well, I could discuss
that at greater length later. The short version is that there are
workarounds which worked prior to Mac OSX 10.4. Adobe's FreeHand
product page states that FreeHand is compatible with Mac OSX 10.4.
I took that statement to be true, without following the "emerging
issues" link. Stupid me. I took Adobe at it's word without reading
the fine money grubbing print.
Adobe has a major PR problem with FreeHand and chooses to
blow it off. Frankly, this astonishes me. Maybe Adobe thinks we'll
just fade away. Maybe Adobe is correct in that assumption. For
better or worse, Adobe now owns FreeHand. FreeHand is a spectacular
vector drawing tool (and I still contend that it runs circles
around Illustrator -- old code and all -- don't even get me started
about Illustrator's lumpy old legacy code). There's a market for
FreeHand and no more competition (thank you FTC; nice to know
you're watching out for consumers -- not).
I know no figures on the number of people who use (and maybe
even love) FreeHand, but I suspect it's easily in the hundreds of
thousands... maybe even millions. Why would Adobe abandon a product
it now owns and shun a substantial market? Maybe it's just
corporate spite? The trouble is, we just don't know. Adobe is
silent. There's a major communication break between Adobe and
FreeHand users. I want somebody at Adobe to tell us the truth...
either Adobe will support and develop FreeHand or ignore and
therefore kill it. I want to read a letter on Adobe's FreeHand web
page from somebody in a position to tell me what the hell is going
on with a product in which I've invested thousands of dollars and
thousands of files... a product I still want to buy.
Quick note to doentz here: Yeah, I loved Fontographer too.
Call me paranoid if you like, but I sometimes think Fontographer
was way too brilliant to be allowed to exist in a market-driven
world where Adobe owns just about every font and there's no room
for people to freely make and distribute their own creations. From
Adobe's point of view, such freedom is way too dangerous.
Capitalism run amok.
Curtcarto's post was interesting. Yes, software development
always takes time. I know this; I've seen it first hand... and
maybe that's what's going on with Adobe FreeHand. The point is, we
don't know! All indications from Adobe don't look good. Adobe is
silent. Adobe still charges full price for a broken FreeHand, but
doesn't list it in its main Products page (you have to dig to the
"view all products" link). If an updated version of FreeHand will
indeed join Adobe's product line - with full support and commitment
- you'd never know it by cruising through Adobe's corporate site.
R.I.P. FreeHand.
Argh. I'm gonna stop typing pretty soon. I'm tired and sad.
Before I go, I want to post a little more background about my life
with FreeHand. Maybe this will help readers understand why I'm so
passionate about FreeHand.
I became aware of FreeHand way back around 1986 - shortly
after Aldus PageMaker launched a revolutionary concept called
"desktop publishing." Prior to that, I made art the old fashioned
way... you know, I threw paint at a canvas or scribbled stuff on
real live paper with pen and ink and oil pastels. I beta-tested
FHv.7 for some of the guys who wrote the original FreeHand code. I
bought FreeHand v1.0 and later used v2.0 at a design firm that
employed me to make illustrations for their clients.
With FreeHand v3.1, Aldus nailed the interface and features.
It was a stunning and elegant piece of work. It made Illustrator
look like the junky copycat it is to this very day. If Adobe
offered a Mac OSX compatible version of FreeHand 3.1, I'd buy it in
two seconds flat. Adobe could market it as "FreeHand Lite" - heh.
And then things started getting ugly and convoluted.
Illustrator was emerging as a serious competitor in the vector art
world, while Aldus was loosing track of everything that made it
great. Too many cooks in the kitchen... it happens all the time.
The dot com bubble started to pop and nobody gave a flying fart
about art and vision or related nonsense. It was all about money.
I beta-tested FreeHand 4.0 (which was code named "Roadrunner"
at the time). It was a wreck... a screaming, flaming car crash. It
pulled the rug out from under every user who had invested time and
money and trust in FreeHand. I told the development team that if it
was released as written, loyal customers would scream bloody
murder, jump ship and buy Illustrator. I said, "If your intention
is to kill FreeHand, release this version immediately."
By this time, Aldus was dead. Macromedia owned Freehand and
released it as FreeHand 5.0. Loyal FreeHand customers screamed
bloody murder, jumped ship and bought Illustrator. FreeHand's
market share (not to mention its art and vision) was a sad memory.
Macromedia dorked around with FreeHand for a decade or so.
Version 5 was pretty dismal, but almost useable. By version 7, it
was almost OK. By versions 9 and 10, it was almost interesting.
Through all these versions, Macromedia didn't fix the stuff that
didn't work in previous versions... they just tacked on new
"features" nobody wanted and nobody used. Illustrator followed the
same development path, but by this time it was too late for
FreeHand. Illustrator ruled.
A buddy of mine just sent me an email. His message punched
through... one of two legitimate emails and 56 spams. He said:
"Maybe its time to start associating Adobe with Microsoft in
software's "Evil Overlord" category."
Argh. Welcome to the future. Adobe launches a new marketing
tool called "Adobe Youth Voices" on its home page. Socially
conscious work that can only be expressed by kids who buy Adobe
products. It's all so sick. -
I add some node to a tree but it is not shown in web page.
Hi
thank you for reading my post.
I read some tutorial in the web and i add some tree node to a tree dynamically.
but none of them is shown :(.
I should say that i write the code that create a tree in session scope bean because my tree is placed in a fragment and fragment has no preRender method.
here is code that initiate a tree, and i think it is correct.
public void initiateTree() {
getTree1().setClientSide(true);
System.out.println("Setter called");
Context ctx=null;
DataSource ds=null ;
Connection con=null ;
Statement st = null ;
List rootMenuItems = new ArrayList();
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
ctx = new InitialContext();
ds= (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/dataSource");
con= ds.getConnection();
st= con.createStatement();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
try {
java.sql.PreparedStatement childsPSt = con.prepareStatement("select * from categories where parentcategory = ?");
rs= st.executeQuery("select * from categories where parentcategory= 0 and language = " +"'"+getLang()+"'");
//roots
while(rs.next()){
int parentID = rs.getInt("categoryID");
System.out.println("A root has been added "+parentID );
TreeNode aRootNode = new TreeNode();
aRootNode.setText(rs.getString("categoryname"));
//childs
childsPSt.setInt(1,parentID);
ResultSet cRs = childsPSt.executeQuery();
while(cRs.next()){
System.out.println("Achild has been added "+ cRs.getString("categoryname")+ " " + parentID);
TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode();
childNode.setText(cRs.getString("categoryname"));
aRootNode.getChildren().add(childNode);
getTree1().getChildren().add(aRootNode);
} catch (SQLException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
I call this method in session bean constructor.
here is code that bind the tree in page fragment to session bean tree1
<ui:tree binding="#{SessionBean1.tree1}" id="tree1" style="height: 167px"/>here is console output that prove the initiate method do some works.
Setter called
A root has been added 1
Achild has been added cat name 2 1
Achild has been added cat name 3 1
A root has been added 5i think u need to add hyperlink component to the node thus cause node must carry hyperlink or anything u like to add like staticText or checkBox ....
add this code after creation the aRootNode and childNode
it may works :)
Hyperlink h = new Hyperlink();
h.setText(cRs.getString("categoryname"));
childNode .getFacets().put( childNode .CONTENT_FACET_KEY, h );
