Cheapest way to get patches

I am about to leave my employment, but I want to still be able to get patches for Oracle 11g on Linux at home.
I don't want to pay too much for it, though!
Am I correct to think that a single-year, 1 Named User Plus purchase of Oracle Personal Edition is the cheapest way to continue to get patches for Oracle-on-Linux, pretty much as I would in a commercial environment?
Secondary question: the Oracle Store lists that personal edition at (for example) $100 per Named User Plus but then adds on another $120 for "Cost of first year support". Am I right to think that next year I would only be charged $120 (or whatever it may have increased to by then)? In other words, if I pay $220 today, next year, I'll only have to pay the support component?

Easiest way to get patches

A couple of years ago we started using Solaris 11/06. We were able to fairly easily setup smpatch and perform the patches. For a while it worked beautifully.
Now, everytime we setup a new server, the patching seems to be harder to implement. Right now I am again unable to get patches via smpatch, and I quite honestly frustrated beyond belief. I can't even register the system at this point, and I'm using credentials that are being used by our other systems that do manage to work correctly.
I've spent hours manually adding patches and packages, restarting different services, trying to register with sconadm again and again, logging in to sunsolve.sun.com to approve a new agreement with oracle, checking java versions, checking to make sure different packages are installed, only to have it fail again, this time with a more obscure message. I tried pca. It won't download anything. Everything comes back 403. I again checked the credentials. They still match other servers currently able to receive patches.
What is the easiest way to get patches to a Solaris 10 11/06 server without having to spend hours manually resolving dependencies (which I thought smpatch was supposed to solve but doesn't appear to work reliably).
I just need something I can run that will figure out what is on the server, what it needs, and then download and install them.

It has happened in the past that SunSolve "forgets" about connected contracts, but I've never received a report that pca works on one system and returns 403's on another when the same SOA is used.
Anyway - this isn't the forum for PCA, I recommend subscribing to its mailing list if you want follow this route further.

Cheapest way to get VLK for Windows 8.1 Pro

Usually the cheapest way is 1 8.1 upgrade and 4 server 2012 Cals.
The server cals run about $30ish if I remember correctly.jackwithers wrote:

What is the cheapest way to get wifi in a home for Ipad mini - if we already have internet (but no wifi setup)

Trying to get my sister set up with wifi. She is getting an ipad mini for Christmas and has internet, but no wifi. Is there any restriction on the Airport version that this ipad mini will/won't work with?
I have found many 'used' Airport Express units on Amazon, but just need to make sure that these older models will work with this new ipad mini for her.

I don't use Facetime, but if it is available on the Internet, she will be able to access it by entering the Web address for the site in the browser of the iPad.
I just need something inexpensive since we are having to 'add that' for her.
Since you are familiar with Apple products, the Express would make sense.
The setup of the Express will very easy from the iPad. Look for the info in this link about Easy Setup:

You can download a manual for the Express Model A1264 by using the link below:

How can I get extra [SATA] storage space, the cheapest way?

Hello everybody,
I've an Asus M2N68-AM Plus Motherboard in a HTPC with all SATA connectors occupied. What can you guys come up with as the cheapest way to add more extra storage space [via SATA]?
1. Change Mobo?
2. Switch HD's?
3. Any controller board?
4. Other?
Note: The main idea is to maintain the existing HD's, cause I don't want to keep them unused or to loose money by selling.
Regards.

Does that mobo have an eSata connector on the back panel?
If yes, buy a regular Sata drive and an enclosure (with a fan!) that has eSata as well as, or instead of USB... and just connect it that way
Or buy a ready made eSata drive/enclosure

If music etc was purchased from itunes store then go to the itunes app on ipad and check purchased to see what you can redownload for free.
Assume you can't sync the iPad as you are on Tiger with old iTunes version.

The best way to get 5.1 sound out of Mac Pro

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but could someone recommend me the best way to get 5.1 sound of a Mac Pro. Since I don't require hi-fi -level sound, just simple directional audio for gaming and such, I wouldn't like to pour a lot of money to this. As I see it, I'd need an external sound card, internal PCI-E soundcard or speakers that have an optical input. I would like for the cost to be in two digits, euro or dollar.
Any suggestions about hardware?

Once again, the issue of 5.1 w/Apple comes up.
Here is the bottom line.
You will only get 5.1 audio if the following conditions are true:
- You are using the OPTICAL output on your Mac
- You are playing a DVD with a 5.1 soundtrack
That's it. The simple truth is, that even if you have a Z-5500 setup (like I do), you still will not get 5.1 surround in ///any/// applications other then while playing a DVD.
There is no way to get 5.1 out of a game on a Mac Pro. No matter how much money you throw at it. The support simply is not there. It is not a software issue, it is not a driver issue. It is the game developer's issue (sort of), and it is a //lack of hardware// issue.
The complex truth, and I will attempt to explain, isn't that simple.
Your Mac Pro or Macbook only has a single line-out, that supports 2 channels at the maximum. Optical audio will only handle 2 channels as well- it's the same signal (in two channels) on a different medium, basically.
All PC soundcards that support proper 5.1 (save for a select few) have //multiple// line-out jacks for Front Left/Right, Center/Sub, and Rear Left/Right (3 plugs total for 5.1). Since your Mac/Mac Pro doesn't have this, you can't hook up a 5.1 speaker set and expect true 5.1.
You do have optical audio, however, this only works in 5.1 when a Dolby Digital signal is piped through the optical cable.
Dolby Digital works by encoding a 5.1 signal as a data stream, sending it to a receiver, where it is decoded and played back as 5.1 stereo. DVD's have this audio pre-encoded on the disk.
If you wanted 5.1 output from your games, they'd need to ether have the sound/audio data encoded as Dolby 5.1, or support encoding on the fly to take a 5.1 signal, encode it, and pipe it out the optical audio plug. Xbox360 does this, because they've licensed the technology from Dolby- as have the game developers.
Unfortunately, none of the developers for Macintosh gaming have yet to include live Dolby 5.1 encoding (I think Doom 3 had a beta patch that did- I could be wrong).
If the game doesn't support the above feature, then you only get basic 2 channel audio.
*Do not buy a Fireface 800.*
This is a professional audio interface (like an external soundcard). While it supports 5.1 output via 6 individual outputs, you need SPEAKERS that have +built in amplifiers+ (called a Studio Monitor). Not just one amplifier- all the speakers have it built in and take a balanced stereo input.
You're looking at $1300 for the Fireface 800, and another $200 per speaker. This is not cheap, is not meant for gaming, and is not consumer grade equipment. It's pro audio, designed for Logic 8 and similar.
Even if you did spend the money, trust me, I'd know... I have a 5.1 setup running through an Apogee Ensemble (a $2000 "soundcard"), and I do not get 5.1 support from Quake 4, C&C 3, or any other game. I only get 5.1 surround from my audio production in Logic 8.
To recap, since this has been asked many times- and I don't want you wasting your money here (just trying to be helpful!)...
*There is no simple or cost-efficient way to get 5.1 from your Mac, other then while playing a DVD movie.*
I would highly recommend that you buy a very good pair of 2.1 speakers with a Sub woofer. Maybe even a pair that takes an optical input for audio. If you really want to spend the money to *watch a DVD in surround sound,* then you can... And it'll work wonderfully, but gaming will not give you surround sound at all.
*Again- There are no games out that support 5.1. Just because you technically support Dolby 5.1, doesn't mean the applications are aware of it and can utilize the 5.1 surround.*
Edit: I may have neglected to also mention that the Firewave unit will support 5.1 properly through 3 separate plugs (much like a PC soundcard does), however the only game I am aware of that supports this is Unreal Tournament 2003 for Mac (or was it 04?), with an experimental patch for 5.1 via OpenAL. Last I heard, it worked okay, but crashed occasionally.
Most of the other games out there just don't support 5.1, period (probably due to the lack of hardware on the Mac computers from the factory).

Best way to get bytes from a ByteBuffer

Hi,
I see three possible ways to get the bytes from a ByteBuffer in a new byte array. (if I get the backed array, a change in that array will change the ByteBuffer, that's why I insist on new array).
1. System.arraycopy on the backed array
2. clone() on the backed array
3. use ByteBuffer's get() method
Which one is the best in terms of performance ?
Thank you for any tips.

This Java tip demonstrates a method of getting bytes from a ByteBuffer. A ByteBuffer has a capacity that determines how many bytes it contains. This capacity can never change. The bytes in a ByteBuffer can also be retrieved using the relative version of get [cheapest wow gold|http://www.wowgoldstudio.com/] (), which uses the position and limit properties of the buffer. In particular, this version of get() retrieves the byte at the position and advances the position by one. get() cannot retrieve bytes past the limit (even though the limit might be less than the capacity). The position is always <= limit and limit is always <= capacity.
[cheap wow gold|http://www.wow-goldstore.com/]
// Create an empty ByteBuffer with a 10 byte capacity
ByteBuffer bbuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(10);
// Retrieve the capacity of the ByteBuffer
int capacity = bbuf.capacity(); // 10
// The position is not affected by the absolute get() method.
byte b = bbuf.get(5); // position=0
// Set the position
bbuf.position(5);
// Use the relative get()
b = bbuf.get();
// Get the new position
int pos = bbuf.position(); // 6
// Get remaining byte count
int rem = bbuf.remaining(); // 4
// Set the limit
bbuf.limit(7); // remaining=1
// This convenience method sets the position to 0
bbuf.rewind(); // remaining=7
