DISA to replace DCO...Not so fast

A colleague & friend sent me an article headlined DISA to replace DCO with new collaborative service tool and asked for my feedback. The headline was very curious to me as the terminology used might lead a reader to an incorrect conclusion. My intent is not to discredit the author of the article or the DISA program management quoted, but to provide clarity to the current 1 million+ users and mission owners who consume 800 million DCO minutes annually to get their job done.
"DISA to replace DCO”
DISA is in fact ending Defense Connect Online (DCO) service on May 30th, 2015. They are not replacing it. A replacement would (at even a depreciated level) support current priority workloads and corresponding mission support requirements (as identified by DCO users in 2014 survey, and summarized in side graph). Defense Collaborative Service (DCS), based on open source BigBlueButton project, is a no-cost capability for ad hoc collaboration and was never designed or intended to support DCO workloads.
“new collaborative service”
DCS webconferencing aka. 'BigBlueButton' is in fact a very new collaborative service. So new that the open source project has not reached a full version release (in the software world we call this beta or prerelease software). It is somewhat curious why DISA would go Full Operational Capability (FOC), with software that, by definition is not production quality. It is also curious why DISA would make this decision knowing that the customization required for FOC would render the software non-upgradeable to future project release versions. Congratulations DISA, you just got in the software development business.
"DCS tool”
So having clarified what DCS is NOT (DCO replacement & Production Enterprise Software), let’s summarize what DCS aka. BigBlueButton is by attribute:
Peer to peer & small team collaboration
Non-persistent meetings, rooms, files etc. (one time use )
Low scale capability
Maybe a more accurate headline would be DISA to end DCO to save DISA money and leave it at that....What do you think?

Waa Waa. I get that you are upset that the government will no longer waste 40 million per year for your product but bashing their choose to go open source reflects even more poorly on your organization.

Question
HP 8500 printer will not print fast on firefox, but does on Safari. HP support says it is a problem with firefox. Can you help me out? edit

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

What are the symptons of macbook pro hard drive not running fast enough

what are the symptons of the hard drive not running fast enough

Physically the drive will be as fast as any other of its class, and if not then it's experiencing a mechanical issue that should prompt a warning or two in the system, especially if you use a drive management tool like Disk Utility that checks the drive's built-in "S.M.A.R.T." diagnostics.
As for "logical speed," if there are bad blocks on the drive where sectors cannot be read or written to because of a breakdown of the storage medium, then this can result in a program or the entire system crashing or hanging (generally the latter is the case), where it usually pauses for a number of seconds at a time. This is usually accompanied by messages that state "I/O Error" or other similar warning in the OS X Console (in the Applications > Utilities folder).
Beyond this, drive formatting errors such as might happen after a crash or power outage can result in similar hang-like behavior, though this is usually not as distinct of a hanging behavior as is seen with bad blocks.
Finally, if the drive is simply full of files or highly fragmented (not as much of a problem in OS X, but it can happen), then this can reduce access time for reading and writing files, and prevent the system from optimizing the use of RAM, which can result in overall slowdowns. Heavy drive use can also cause similar bottlenecks, but this is ususally only an intermittent issue during a time when you are performing a heavy file transfer or copying process, or other task that occupies access to the drive's index and formatting (e.g., if you check it for errors with Disk Utility, then you may see the system pause or slow down during the check).

Acrobat Pro 10 Actions Not Applying Fast Web View

Acrobat Pro 10 actions are pretty useful overall, however they are not applying Fast Web View all the time. In my opinion, all PDFs generated today should be Fast Web View by default, but among the many applications which allow for PDF creation, not all apply Fast Web View for some reason.
I did see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3335827for a potential band-aid fix. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.
Here is the text from my Action sequence file:
<</Commands [/c << /0 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]
>>]
/HandlerName [/a /FlattenOCGs]
/Params [/c <<>>]

/HandleOutput [/b true]
/NumbericNaming [/b false]
/OptimizePDF [/b true]
/PresetName [/t (test2)]
/RunPDFOptimizer [/b true]
>>]
>>
As you can see, the "/OptimizePDF [/b true]" is set per the instructions in the aforementioned link. It still does not set Fast Web View all the time. I ran a test of the action on a batch of 10 PDFs, some were set to Fast Web View and some were not. While one of the PDFs that was not set to Fast Web View was open in Acrobat, I ran the same Action again and it did apply Fast Web View! I even installed the latest patch hoping that would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. Distiller does in fact set Fast Web View, but it won't work on PDFs. The only way I can find to guarantee the establishment of Fast Web View is to manually do a Save As on every file which I think is asking a bit much when you deal with hundreds of PDFs on any given day. Also that would effectively defeat the purpose of running an Action on hundreds of PDFs in the first place.
Any ideas?

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
                /OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
                /OptimizePDF [/b true]

How to replace # or Not assigned with blank in BEx Query Output.

Hi,
While running the query through BEx Query desginer or Anlayser, I am getting # or Not assigned where there are no values.
The requirement is to "Replace # or Not assigned with a blank" in the output.
I want to know, is there any setting in BEx query desginer where we can do this. How to do this.
Please share your inputs on this. Any inputs on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Naveen

Check out SDN-thread: "Re: Remove 'Not assigned'" for more details
Ideas from SDN research:
"a solution i have used is to put each RKF column in a CKF colum then in each CKF use RKF + 0, the outcome is that your # should now be 0s, in the query properties you can set the option to display 0s as blank."
"try to enter a text for the blank entry in the master data maintenance of the relevant objects and set the display option for the objects to 'text'."

CS 5 OnLocation not any faster with HDV than CS3?

I've been using CS3's OnLocation for dozens on on-site shoots for several years now and regularly sings it praises wherever I travel. I've used an older 2.1 Ghz single processor Dell laptop, and more recently been using a Quad-core I-5 Toshiba. My primary camera is a Canon XHA1s; among others, I also use a Sony FX7 and Z5U.
Recently I've been increasingly shooting HDV to tape with a desire to capture same to my laptop using OnLocation with its field monitor. After initial testing showed ongoing artifacts in my video stream (both recorded and on-screen), I changed to an external SIIG Firewire card which completely resolved those problems for artifact-free footage.
One problem which remained, however, is unacceptable field monitor performance using OnLocation with HDV. With full frame-rate features enabled, I was getting as much as a 10-second lag time! (yes.. 10 SECONDS). When I cut back which frames are being displayed (OnLocation settings), the lag goes down somewhere between .5 and 1 second (still pretty bad IMO), and is pretty stuttery.
I was hoping that CS5's OnLocation would be more optimized for HDV and perform better, and installed a friend's version of CS5 OnLocation to test this out. Sadly, not only did it perform *NO BETTER*, but after some period of capturing (10 minutes one time, an hour another time.. did not seem consistent) the laptop's screen would go blank (not off) and the computer remained unresponsive (required a hard boot). After this repeated several times, I tried using CS3's OnLocation again, but it too was experiencing the "blank screen then lock the laptop" problem -- although I haven't tested it, I do hope that uninstalling CS5's OnLocation and re-installing CS3's will remove the offending DLL or Codec and avoid future "lock-up" problems.
My question here is -- is the lag and stuttery (like a low frame rate or shutter speed) field monitor the expected behaviors with OnLocation and HDV? Yeah yeah.. I've read excuses that "HDV requires more processing" but I've captured and previewed full framerate HDV using Sony Vegas's capture while simultaneously capturing a DV stream using the same software, and had no issues at all while experiencing fluid previews.
Any thoughts on what's going on? If I knew CS5 would fix the problem and/or was more optimized, I'd happily pay for the upgraded Master Collection, but my experience has not proven so well
Help?!

2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== approx. 2 days ago

I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

1:1 previews not noticeably faster than standard?

I normally import using standard size previews. I generated 1:1 previews of an entire folder after import, thinking it would speed up since I was checking each image at 1:1. But after they were generated and I started browsing through the images, the time taken from clicking 1:1 from fit was not noticeably faster. I've never used 1:1 previews before - is there no real advantage to using them over standard? (I'm using LR3, Core i7, 18GB RAM).

My problem seemed to be solved when I started importing at 1:1 instead of importing at standard and then Library - Previews - Render 1:1 previews when I needed them. I had LR3 set to discard 1:1 previews after a week.
Today I needed 1:1 previews of a folder that had been imported more than 1 week ago. The 1:1 previews had apparently been discarded since when I tried to view the images at 1:1 instead of Fit, there was a delay while LR said "loading." I then went to Library - Previews - Render 1:1. A message at the top left said scanning existing previews but when that process was finished, there was no message that said rendering previews. When I view those images at 1:1, I still have to wait for the preview to load rather than it being instantaneous the way it was on the day that I imported those photos into LR3 at 1:1.
I have tried closing my catalog, restarting my computer, deleting 1:1 previews and trying again. I've also searched this forum for "previews" and didn't come across any solution.

Airport does not connect fast enough after sleep on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Ever since installing Snow Leopard, I have noticed that my Airport will not connect fast enough when I am waking from sleep. I sometimes have to wait upwards of 30 seconds after waking from sleep so Airport can connect and I can begin using the Internet. I notice that Airport says it is connected, but when I launch Safari, I get the "Not Connected to Internet" error message. I have tried removing the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file to no avail. I have also tried Archiving and Installing and the issue is still there. Any ideas or fixes? Thanks.

Those seem to happen a lot when you have stealth mode enabled (Security System Prefs, Firewall, Advanced). For me, they all seemed to be innocuous so I turned it off. I don't think this would affect your connectivity, though.
You should also see it negotiate the connection. Is there anything that looks like it is repeating or retrying or other disconcerting messages? Here's an example of mine waking:1/5/10 8:27:36 PM kernel Wake reason = USB1

An enemy to follow me around the screen but not too fast

Hi I'm building English teaching apps but through games.
I'd like a BUG enemy to follow me around but NOT TOO fast as I have little kids of 5 years old using this,
Would it be something like get the coordinates of my HERO character and send the BUG there.
I use POINT at the moment to send my HERO to where the mouse clicks.
Could I send the BUG there as well but using less x and y increments.
Would this be too much for the processor - too much going on with music playing as well?

again, don't remove it:
var speed:Number=.99;
public function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
var xDistance:Number=clickPoint.x-this.hero.x;
var yDistance:Number=clickPoint.y-this.hero.y;
if (Math.abs(xDistance)>10) {
var angle:Number=Math.atan2(yDistance,xDistance);
this.hero.x+=v*Math.cos(angle);
this.hero.y+=v*Math.sin(angle);
} else {
this.hero.gotoAndPlay("static");
enemy1.x = speed*enemy1.x+(1-speed)*hero.x;
enemy1.y = speed*enemy1.y+(1-speed)*hero.y;
if (clickPoint.x>=hero.x) {
this.hero.gotoAndPlay("right");
//trace(Math.abs(xDistance));
if (this.hero.x>=clickPoint.x) {
this.hero.gotoAndPlay("left");
//trace(Math.abs(xDistance));

Encore cs6 not any faster than 5.1

Encore cs6 not any faster than 5.1
I opened up a cs5.1 project in cs6 and did a "Preview from here" of a motion background with 8 motion thumbnails...running 40 secounds. Each version of Encore took 2 minutes to render the motion menu so i could preview it.
A little dissappointing. 32 bit vs 64. Same speed:-(
I have 32 gigs of ram. i7-980

heres a test. try importing a single 42gb timeline of 1080p into encore cs5, and now do the same thing for cs6. rendering may or may not be faster for menus, but you can get right to work on your project in cs6, while it processes in the background, vs cs5 having to stare at the yellow status bar for 90 minutes (it seemed, lol)
