Csup is not a substitute for cvsup

Hi.
I had set up a abs mirror server for my home lan. My setup uses cvsup in cvs mode to mirror the abs repositories under /usr/local/etc/cvsup and I can then configure my other archlinux boxes to abs from the abs mirror server. However, I recently pacman -Syu on my abs mirror server and saw that cvsup has been depreciated for csup. I refused to switch out cvsup for csup and will continue to use cvsup. My question is though csup is easier will cvsup packages still be available in the future? And if not how will cvs.archlinux.org be able to allow csup connections since csup does not provide for cvs mode. csup as of now is only capable of checkout mode and therefore to continue abs (an integral part of archlinux) a cvsup server has to be running, so if cvs.archlinux.org has to continue supporting cvsup would they not be able to create cvsup packages and add them to the extra repository.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Elvis has left the building.

I understand what you are saying concerning non-developers. Developers have cvs write access to the archlinux repositories. My point is I like being able to mirror the abs setup on one of my servers thus I can abs from one server on the local lan. It also benefits cvs.archlinux.org by distributing the load from their cvsup server. Or maybe just having the freedom or option to mirror the cvs repos on your lan similar to those who want to mirror the package repositories for pacman.

The App Store needs subcategories, searching is not a substitute for subcategories

I'm browsing the App Store, looking to see what kind of higher education apps there are. Nearly 1,200 education apps! I'm not going to browse through all of that, so there are a lot of education apps I'll never see, and never buy.
So I come here and type in my question, other people have already pointed out the need for subcategories. One answer is that you can create your own subcategories, just by searching. Wee! What a great solution, Apple!
Didn't work for me, no results for "higher education". Maybe I can try to come up with all the search terms for all the subjects I might be interested in and see if those will only give me a higher level subset.
See the problem? Searching is not a substitute for organization. If this were not true, you wouldn't have categories at all.

What is a good free substitute for Adobe Flash Player? Apple will not download this but I need it for several things I want to do?

What is a good "free" substitute for Adobe Flash Player? I need this for photos to be developed.

You cannot substitute another app for Flash because it is proprietary technology. Apple is adamant about keeping Flash out of their phones and tablets, hence why you will not find it in the App Store. If you want to be able to use Flash on-the-go, consider purchasing an Android device.
Doesn't matter at this point. Android 4.0.3 is the last OS he'll have if he wants flash. Adobe has already stopped development for their mobile flash player.

Substitute for filters in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards

Dear all,
I am working on a dashboard application built on SAP Business Objects Dashboards 4.1.
When I deployed the application to an iPad, I realized that the filters present in the application are not supported by iPad.
Thus, is there any mobile-compatible component in SAP BO Dashboards which I can use in place of filrters for filtering the result during runtime?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks And Regards,
Nalin Dwivedi

In combo box, all I can do is select some values from one or more rows or cells in the excel and paste it to some other destination within excel. But my whole dashboard is query-based i.e. I have created query and my charts are getting the data directly from database during runtime. Thus, the query prompt selectors I have used are directly manipulating the data coming from the database.
Since query prompt selector are not supported in mobile mode, I need a substitute for it.
Combo box is not able to help till now because the values of combo box can not manipulate the data coming from database. Moreover, I am not sure if I have used the combo box properly.
If there is any way by which it can be done with using mobile-compatible components, then please suggest me about it.
Thanks in advance.

Nalin

Can I use a substitute for the Sample Clock?

I have three different analog inputs coming from one device (PCI-6221). Two inputs are running at the same sample rate while the third needs a faster sample rate and a trigger. I have these seperated as two seperate tasks but my problem is they both use the sample clock. Can I use a substitute for the sample clock on the third channel?
I am running LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ron Deavers, CLD

Hi programmindragon,
I understand you are trying to
configure your PCI-6221 to sample on multiple channels, while having
different rates and triggers for the channels. Unfortunately, you can
only configure one analog input task to run at once and all the channels in
the task must share the same configurations, including the sample clock
and trigger. This is due to the fact that all the channels are
multiplexed to a single amplifier and ADC on the device. Thus, you will
not be able to configure the two inputs at one rate and use a different
clock rate and trigger for the third input. Is it possible to sample at the
maximum rate on all channels and decimate the data that you don't need on the certain
channels, as well as share the same type of triggering? Hopefully you will be able to run your application with the same configuration across multiple channels, otherwise you may need multiple DAQ devices. Please let me know if you have any further questions related to this issue.

Is there any substitute for book publication?

We are currently running BPC Microsoft version and considering migrating to the Netweaver platform. I understand the Book Publication Wizard is not available in Netweaver. We use this feature to generate lengthy reports and losing it would make reporting a very difficult process. Does anyone know of a workaround or substitute for Book Publication?

Hi Barb,
You are correct it won't generate PDF's.
Are you considering going to BPC 7.5 NW? If so there are some workarounds that could be leveraged but they are not ideal.
For example if you have Crystal Reports as well, you can use the integration to pull your BPC data into a formatted Crystal Report and use the PDF scheduling to generate your "books" in that way.
Otherwise as Jeff mentioned you would have to leverage the Distributor and Collector and print to pdf via some type of task scheduler job but this would require you have either Adobe Professional or some PDF generator like PDF XChange.
Cheers, Scott

Is Airport a substitute for software firewall?

I have a Windows PC behind my Airport network. Is my Airport's NAT (or the NAT of any router for that matter) a substitute for software firewall?
As I understand it, the only thing software firewalls do is block un-used ports, which Airport's NAT already does (since by default it doesn't forward any port except 80 and few other necessary ports to the IPs behind its NAT), and therefore there's no way for hackers to get to them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It'd also be nice to know what ports Airport permit traffics... and how it knows which IP to forward the traffic too (does it act kind of like a proxy?).
Thanks

Firewall Debate: Hardware vs. Software
By Ronald Pacchiano
November 4, 2003
I'm about to get my first broadband connection, and I know I need to get a firewall. However, I've been getting some conflicting advice as to what type of firewall I need. Some people tell me I should get a hardware firewall, while others tell me a software firewall is preferred. What's the difference, and more importantly, which is better?
Good question. The truth is that in a typical home office environment, one type of firewall isn't necessarily better than the other. They are some differences, though, and they can be used together to give you an even greater degree of protection.
Hardware firewalls are important because they provide a strong degree of protection from most forms of attack coming from the outside world. Additionally, in most cases, they can be effective with little or no configuration, and they can protect every machine on a local network.
A hardware firewall in a typical broadband router employs a technique called packet filtering, which examines the header of a packet to determine its source and destination addresses. This information is compared to a set of predefined and/or user-created rules that determine whether the packet is to be forwarded or dropped. A more advanced technique called Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), looks at additional characteristics such as a packet's actual origin (i.e. did it come from the Internet or from the local network) and whether incoming traffic is a response to existing outgoing connections, like a request for a Web page.
But most hardware residential firewalls have an Achilles' heel in that they typically treat any kind of traffic traveling from the local network out to the Internet as safe, which can sometimes be a problem.
Consider this scenario: What would happen if you received an e-mail message or visited a website that contained a concealed program? Let's say this program was designed to install itself on your machine and then surreptitiously communicate with someone via the Internet — a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack zombie or a keystroke logger, for example? And trust me, this is by no means an unlikely scenario.
To most broadband hardware firewalls, the traffic generated by such programs would appear legitimate since it originated inside your network and would most likely be let through. This malevolent traffic might be blocked if the hardware firewall was configured to block outgoing traffic on the specific Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) port(s) the program was using, but given that there are over 65,000 possible ports and there's no way to know which ports a program of this nature might use, the odds of the right ones being blocked are slim.
Moreover, blocking too many ports would almost certainly adversely affect your ability to use some programs (many games, for instance). Also, some broadband router firewalls don't even provide the ability to restrict outgoing traffic, only incoming traffic.
Advantages of Software Firewalls
Now consider what a software firewall might do in the aforementioned scenario. When you first set up a software firewall, you can specify which applications are allowed to communicate over the Internet from that PC. Programs that aren't explicitly allowed to do so are either blocked or else the user is prompted for confirmation before the traffic is allowed to pass. Therefore, it would likely intercept this kind of traffic before it left your computer.
Another potential scenario where a software firewall would be useful is in the case of an e-mail worm with its own e-mail sever, like the recent "SoBig" worm. Its built-in mail server could attempt to send mail on the valid Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port (25), which would probably pass through the router because of its trusted origin.
On the other hand, a software firewall could be configured to only allow Microsoft Outlook to use port 25 (assuming Outlook is your e-mail client). Any attempt by another application to use the port would be dropped, or blocked pending user confirmation. For that matter, the application's attempt to use any port would be blocked if the firewall was configured that way.
By comparison, a hardware firewall that had the ability to filter outgoing traffic might allow you to block most kinds of traffic from a particular PC, but it wouldn't be able to flag you and alert you to repeated attempts to infiltrate your computer.
One obvious downside to software firewalls is that they can only protect the machine they're installed on, so if you have multiple computers (which many small offices do), you need to buy, install, and configure a software firewall separately on each machine. This can get expensive and can be difficult to manage if you have a lot of computers.
But the fact of the matter is that software firewalls generally offer the best measure of protection against certain types of situations like Trojan programs or e-mail worms. Speaking of which, a firewall isn't the only protection method available to you. Whether you end up using a software firewall or a hardware firewall, you should always supplement it with anti-virus software.
A good anti-virus package is just as important as a firewall, and I would seriously suggest that you invest in a good one (I'm partial to both Norton and McAfee myself). However, keeping your virus definitions updated is far more important than which program you use. I cannot stress the importance of this enough. Making sure your definitions are current is absolutely critical to maintaining your protection. Many Anti-virus programs today can be configured to automatically update themselves, so you have no excuse for not maintaining them.
The bottom line is that with any home-office broadband connection, a hardware firewall should be considered a bare minimum, and supplementing it with a software firewall on one or more computers (and don't forget anti-virus software) is almost always a good idea.

btw, for anybody reading who might not be familiar with the way TimeSavers works, the biggest, most important advantage -- aside from the cool, incredibly useful PDF effects and added functionality that TimeSavers accomplishes -- is that the setup for everything is handled entirely through FM markers and .ini files. So, the settings can be retained, re-used, customized, and modded up the ying-yang, and applied across books / users / companies in a manageable and controlled way.

With CSS, what font does Ubuntu Firefox substitute for Palatino?

Hello,
I am using the following declaration in my CSS:
.serif {
font-family : Palatino;
I do not have Palatino installed on Ubuntu. I like the font that Ubuntu Firefox is substiuting for Palatino. How do I find out the name of the font that is being substituted for Palatino?
Regards,
PhaseMaster

You can right-click text with that font and use "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and check the font on the Fonts tab.

HT4890 Is there a substitute for MobileMe Photo & video galleries...online?

Does anyone know if there is a substitute for MobileMe Photo & Video Galleries, that have been available online for me for the last 5 years to store and send via email at anytime to anyone?

Apple evidently took a deliberate decision not to provide general file storage in the manner of iDisk and there is no suggestion that they intend ever to restore it. There are plenty of other solutions - this page examines some options:
http://rfwilmut.net/missing3
As to PhotoStream, you can share selected pictures in it using iOS6, and iPhoto for iOS5 includes the facility to publish a 'Photo Journal' picture gallery to web pages hosted on iCloud. This facility is not available on Macs. Apple have provided a sample album here.

Is there a substitute for windows flash software?

Is there an Apple Substitute for flash software?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Any substitute for End User License?

I have the trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. On my bank website (as one example) I can't download a PDF file without entering the End User License Agreement, which I understand from a previous question is not available unless I purchase the app. Is there no way, then, to test the app on such situations? Can anything substitute for the agreement license?

I have little familiarity with the workings of Acrobat, at least little enough to have no confidence in offering more than an idea ... it sounds like you have Acrobat designated as the default program for opening PDF files. I don't know how to get around that, but one thing you should be able to do is to right click the link for the pdf file and choose Save Target As. That should allow you to get the file downloaded without Acrobat getting in the way.
If you continue to have issues with testing out Acrobat you should try posting in the Acrobat forum. Folks there are definitely more focused on matters of how it works and to make it work for you. Here's a link if you wanna try there...
