Discussion about the ThunderBolt or Charge

I have had the phone for over a year now. I absolutely love it. It has lived up to my expectations so far. The only thing that I hate about it is when you have an incoming call. To hang up, you have to end the call on all callers but your phone will ring a few seconds later for you to answer the phone. Its reminder that the other person is still on the line. Great phone to have.

yes...it's a glitch with conference calls. i haven't tried in ages, but i recall it being an issue, where you couldn't just end one line. all you could do was "end" and it would hang up on both lines on your end, but keep on on the line on the other end (but i don't remember if it kept the first call or the second person on the line?)

About the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter

I have a question about the Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 adapter. I want to use this adapter so I can attach two FireWire devices, because I don't want to daisy chain (I need as much speed as possible, so not two devices on one port).
But suddenly I wondered: will I get full FireWire speed on both ports? Or is there some kind of controller on the mainboard that will bottleneck because the MacBook Pro only ships with one port or something like that? So basically my question is, will the two ports share bandwidth (just like when you daisy chain on one port) or will you really get two FireWire ports which you can use both at their "full" bandwidth?

I have pretty much the same need as you and purchased a HP laptop with Thunderbolt port and Windows 8. I also picked up the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. I have been unable to get Windows to detect the Firewire side of the adapter. Windows 8 seems to pick up the Thunderbolt controller correctly and shows it as an extension of the PCI express bus.
I have found no set of drivers that I can add that will get the Firewire side to be recognized by Win8. Win 8 should have 1394b drivers native, so I don't know what the problem is. I wish I could get this to work, because I just don't have the option of getting a MacBook for the things I need to do.
Right now the only other Thunderbolt to Firewire option on the horizon seems to be the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock, but that has 2 problems.... 1, it is still in pre-order and 2, it is ~$300.

Discussion about the 'changelog' option from PKGBUILD

Hi people,
I am curious about the changelog option of PKGBUILD[1]. I don't remember seeing many packages (if any!) using that option.
I stumbled upon this when I viewed the feh[2] PKGBUILD[3], which has just been updated. This PKGBUILD doesn't use such option, but feh ships with a changelog file:
thiago@arch ~ $ head /usr/share/doc/feh/ChangeLog
Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:28:02 +0200 Daniel Friesel <[email protected]>
* Release v2.11
* Patch by Michael Vorburger: Fix erroneous free() in case of failed
scandir (closes #140, #147)
* Patch by rangerer: --randomize: re-randomize after list is through
(closes #154)
* When setting a wallpaper from a URL, do not try to store it as
absolute path in .fehbg (closes #153)
* Add --scroll-step <px> option to change scroll_{up,left,down,right}
Well, the specific question about feh is: should I file a bug report about this?
Now, about changelogs in general: should we care about this feature?
From the packages I currently have installed, I found that only 7 of them use the changelog option. You can quickly count yours with:
thiago@arch ~ $ pacman -Qc > output; grep -v 'no changelog' output | grep 'Changelog for'
Changelog for gdal:
Changelog for geos:
Changelog for kchmviewer:
Changelog for libgeotiff:
Changelog for powertop:
Changelog for proj:
Changelog for spotify:
(a couple of error messages also appears, from packages without changelogs in their PKGBUILDs).
[1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#changelog
[2]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/feh/
[3]: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ckages/feh
There is also an old discussion here[4].
[4]: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70557
From Allan's response on #13, I had an idea: what if pacman -Qc (or similar), instead of showing the changelog pointed out in the PKGBUILD, showed us the last commit(s) from our official SVN repo? Would be relevant to open a new feature request on the bugtracker with this idea?

There are many causes for each of the errors mention. It would be best to put one issue to the forum at a time. For example, some of these issues occur then tasks are deleted from projects but a timesheet has been submitted. Depending
on the scenario, some of these issues have been fixed with the latest service pack.
Other issues are due to bad scheduling habits with the project managers and so first determining what they have done can help resolve some the issues.
_error Loading, is because something is NULL in the data and the jave is choking when it build the form. Again, these may be because of delete tasks, resources, projects or someone doing copying and pasting of rows.
cheers!
PS. Train your PM to not COPY and PASTE rows in project schedules. It can be done, but it can create problems. There are over 500 fields and some have unique data and the copy paste creates havic.

Points and discussion about the concepts behind making a 2D game

Hi all. I'm currently trying my hand at a 2D RPG style game. I have a few questions open for discussion, however, regarding the general points of implementation behind it.
1. Tiles vs static background argument aside, am I right in the thinking the best way of implementing movement across a big background map is actually to move the background and other sprites in relation to the player, giving the illusion of player movement although he in fact never moves from the center of the screen? Is there a way of actually creating a large map, populating it with sprites, and then moving the player across it and panning the screen after him?
2. Collision detection. If we go with the idea of moving everything in relation to the player rather than the player himself, woudln't this mean a large amount of calculations when collision detection occurs. Example, u want the player to stop moving when he hits a brick wall so you have to tell every entity sprite to stop moving in response to key presses (because remember, pressing up moves everything else up, not the player character).
3. Isometric. Is the easiest way of implementing an isometric style game just to develop isometric graphics and sprites?
4. Tiles. I've been doing a lot of reading into tiles but I'm not sure what's a better implementation: a tile system which consists of the entire background and things like houses split into tiles or a simple big background which can be scrolled around and is populated by house sprites which are all moved in relation to the player and their collision detections done individually. Tiles certainly seem like a nice innovation but I feel like the graphics suffer as a consequence and u end up with a 8bit NES looking game!
I'm just getting to grips with the concepts behind a lot of game design and all of this are some interesting points which I thought would be insightful to discuss. Opinions please!
Cheers.

Everything I'm about to say is based off of a tile-based Maze game I made.
1. Using a big background map is a bit lazy if you ask me, but graphically it would be easier to create a nice-looking game. You also have to think about memory. Let's say you manage to get an 800x600 background image at the size of 200kb with JPEG compression. That 200kb jpg image you use as a background is not 200kb when loaded into memory. I dont remember exactly how much bigger it gets in memory, so this next statement is probably wrong. But I heard that: 4bytes per pixel for the ARGB data, and there are 800x600 (480,000) pixels. That's 480000*4 (1920000) bytes if that statement is right. But it's probably wrong, so hopefully Abuse or someone will correct it :)
2. Move EVERYTHING up? I think you're a little mixed up. When the background (and all objects with it) is scrolled, their actual X,Y data is not changed. It is simply drawn according to the scroll offset. The only thing that is being calclulated for movement is the character/scroll offset. Think of it as a camera. The entire world is not moving, just the location of where you're viewing it. Quick example:
You have a Tree who's location is (10,10). If the scroll offset is (0,0), then that Tree will be drawn at (10,10). But let's say your character moves up 5 pixels. You say you want him centered, so the scroll offset also moves up 5 pixels, making the offset (0,-5). When it's time to draw again, that Tree can't be at the same place it was, because the character moved. If the character moved up, the Tree would appear as if it moved DOWN. So you'd draw it like:
g.drawImage(tree.getImage(),tree.x-scrollOffsetX,tree.y-scrollOffsetY,null);With that math, the Tree is actually drawn at (10,15), which is lower than before the character moved. You don't actually loop through all of your objects and change each and every X and Y value, you just change the global scroll offset
Speaking of collision detection, this is where TileMaps have a large advantage. In a TileMap, you don't have to check through each and every object in the world for collision. You can just grab the 4 surrounding tiles (north,west,east,south) from the Tile array. This means there are only 4 collision detections no matter where the character is in any situation on the map.
If you used an image for background instead of tiles, you'd have to check each object in the world for collision because it's harder to tell how close it is to the character. One thing you could do is just grab all of the object currently visible on screen and check their collision, but, depending on where you are on the map, this could easily cause an inconsistent frame rate (you could be in a field of grass that has no collision or a forest of 50 trees each screen- LOTS of collision!).
3. I dont got much to say about isometric :P
4. an 8bit NES game, eh? That is the common misconception that you have to use images that are the same size of the tiles. Have you seen the game "The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords"? That's a tile-based game, but on several occasions you see trees that are 10 times bigger than the 20x20 tiles. They mixed it up, they used a TileMap for the basic ground, and put good looking large images on top. The large images (such as a large tree) uses 4 or 5 "base" tiles that are used for collision. That way the character will only collide with the bottom-half of the tree, giving the appearance of going "behind" the tree when the Y value is above the middle line of the tree. This is far away from looking like an 8bit NES game :)
I hope that was more helpful than it was confusing, but I tend to babble, so.. anyway. Hope it helps :o

Help. about the ipod nano charged with usb 1.1

i just got the ipod nano. now i am charging it. according to the mannul, it will take 3hr to charge it by usb 2.0.
considering i only have usb 1.1, so my question is how long it wil take to charge the nano. until i wait for 6hr and the screen still shows do not disconnect. i can transfer the music and image to the nano. thanks.

Sorry, I'm not really sure how long the charge will take with USB 1.1, but I'd guess it would be way longer that "twice as long".
The "do not disconnect" will show as the display until you eject the iPod thru iTunes.
Now here the tricky part since I don't have a 1.1 USB. If you eject it thru iTunes, I believe the screen will show if it is still charging or "charged". So when you know you need to charge it, plug in to the `puter, then eject and leave it connected, to see what happens.
I do recommend getting the USB power adapter. For USD30.00, it is really worth it. Well, for me at least. I charge regularly (4 times a week) and only plug into my computer to add more music (maybe once a month). Your usage may be different, but it is so easy to come home and just plug it into the dock (plugged into the wall).

Discussion - About the Nokia firmware changlogs.

Hi everyone.
Recently i posted a "forbidden" changlog that i found on the web of a certain Nokia smarthphone.
That changelog was removed and i was notified by one of the
moderators here that it was forbidden to post changelogs
and that they are for internal use only.
OK. i respect that.
But here is what i don't understand..
To Nokia:
Why can't your loyal customers know what's changed in the new fimrwares being released?
Nokia is not the only company who issues bug fixes and release changelogs to their products (see SE, Plextor, Asus..)
It's not such a big industrial secret.
So you have flaws, everybody has flaws, so what?
Why is it such a secret?
Why can't a customer know the benefits/downfalls of updating a firmware?
(See case of Nokia N80 V.4.0707.07 with so many complaints
from this smartphone's users all over the web)
Please comment on that.
Thanks.Message Edited by semuelt on 03-Oct-200712:16 AM
Nokia N95
RM-159
v.31.0.017

Maybe they dont bother about change logs because:
a) Change logs don't add value to shareholders' wealth.
b) Change logs won't improve profits.
c) Change logs won't improve market share.
d) Probably more than 90% of Nokia users don't know what firmware is and therefore don't care about it.
Excuse the cynisism.
I do want change logs and to me they are a natural part of the software lifecycle and something most users of software have come to expect as the norm.

Anyone else furious about the $30 upgrade charge?

So...I now have to pay for the privilege of buying a new phone? This just burns me. What's next...a charge to pay my bill? I have been a Verizon customer for 20 years and I am mad enough to buy out of my 4-line contract on principle alone.

It is common knowledge, though, that T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint all have upgrade fees. In the industry, I imagine those are the only carriers that really matter. The interesting part is that VZW is NOT the highest in the industry (interesting only because they are usually the most expensive on every front).

Discussion About The Use Of Project Server 2013 Timesheet Custom Billing Categories (Post SP1 and April 2014 CU Install)

In support of a consulting company using timesheet custom billing categories to designate project time as billable onsite, billable offsite, and non-billable, I've encountered a series of issues which appear to be associated with the custom billing category
timesheet lines. These issues cause timesheet users to get frustrated, and contribute to misalignment between project actuals and timesheet actuals. We're in Single Entry Mode, no pre-population, SP1 and April 2014 CU Installed.
I'll enumerate the issues here and pose the question to the community as to whether others are experiencing any/all of these things, and if so, ask if any workarounds have been discovered. We're working with Microsoft to validate these independently,
but I am posing the questions to the community to gather additional information, and hopefully save some folks time in troubleshooting similar issues.
1.When time is entered on an assignment into timesheet lines of multiple billing categories, only time entered since the last save is getting saved and ultimately sent, on timesheet submit, to the approval center. Although the previously entered and
saved time appears in the application interface when the timesheet is re-opened, only data since last save is actually saving to the server or processing through the approval center. We believe this is the primary cause for timesheet and project actuals
being out of alignment.
2."_ Error Loading". When assignments are added, deleted, or changed after a timesheet has been created, standard timesheet lines are added, deleted or changed (i.e. synchronize) with the assignments. However, for custom billing category
timesheet lines, they do not change when the assignments change, and they aren’t removed if the assignment is removed. We believe this causes secondary errors, like the "_Error Loading" (and others as will be described below).
3.When a timesheet with time in a non-standard billing category is deleted and recreated, time is arbitrarily moved to standard timesheet lines for the same assignment. If the task assignment is subsequently removed, the timesheet line causes the timesheet
to break.
4."Error Communicating with Server". When trying to submit a timesheet, a pop-up box appears indicating that there is an error communicating with the server. This error appears because a timesheet line is no longer associated with a project.
In order to submit the timesheet the orphaned timesheet line must be identified and manually removed. One technique we found which helps to identify an orphaned timesheet line is to select a task and submit task progress. Repeat for all timesheet lines until
you get an error. The timesheet line(s) with the error can be manually removed from the timesheet, fixing the error.
5. Unable to Open Specific Timesheets without Error. There are certain scenarios when the "Remove Task" feature is used or an assignment is otherwise removed after creation of a timesheet with custom billing category lines, which causes orphaned
timesheet lines. These orphaned lines can cause issues when trying to open a timesheet. The issue can appear when timesheets are in progress in multiple periods. In the problematic scenario, time is entered and submitted in one period and subsequently
the task is 'removed' from another period before the PM processes the first approval request. Process governance can certainly help here, but improvement in the way synchronization occurs between project assignments and custom billing category timesheet lines
would be great. The error can often be resolved by re-adding the assignment for the problematic timesheet user to the project (which creates a new assignment), and then allows you to open the timesheet. Then time can be moved from the old timesheet
line to the new timesheet line, and the old one can be removed.
In 4 and 5, sometimes we can't open a timesheet without error, and other times we can open it but not submit it. We are not 100% clear on all the different causes for each. Each of these issues are suspected to be contributing the the misalignment of
data between project actuals and timesheets, which can be a real problem for external projects for which time collected through timesheets are being used to generate invoices.
Although these may seem like separate issues, warranting separate questions, I decided to post them together because they all seem to be related to synchronization of project assignments and timesheet lines for custom billing categories.
Any thoughts or suggestions from the community would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Justin

[Battery]-About Meaning of Cycle and the Way of Charging

Dear Apple support team/Experienced users,
I have a macbook pro 13" version Middle 2012 a question about the meaning of cycle term of battery in macbook pro.
After reading manual and refer to information on the internet, here is my understanding about cycle term.
* After using all the power of battery, then charging fully, it is a cycle.
* Cycle also means:
     1/ Firstly, battery level is 100%. (On Monday)
     2/ Secondly, use battery to the level 50%. (On Monday)
     3/ Thirdly, recharge macbook pro to the level 100%. (On Monday)
     4/ Do from step 1 to step 3 for the next day. (On Tuesday)
     After receving level 100% on this day(On Tuesday) , we made one cycle.
The more cycle we can do, the worse battery life we can get.
So i have a question related to the way of charging and creating cycle.
Example:
     1/ On Monday, i have battery level at 100% (From the first day of current month)
     2/ Then i use to battery level 50%
     3/ After that i charge the battery to level 98% (not up to 100%)
     4/ Do from step 2 to step 3 until the end of current month.
     5/ On the first day of next month, i use all power of battery. Then i let my macbook pro sleep up to 5 hours.
     After that i do fully charge for macbook pro.
     At this time, i made a cycle for my battery.
Would you please give me your idea about the way of understanding about the cycle i had up to now?
I am looking forward to seeing your replies as soon as possible.
Once again, thanks for your reviewing my question, dear sirs/madams.
Best regards,
Newbietomac84

Dear sir,
Thanks for your reply.
Your saying make me set my mind at rest on battery issue. But i also wait for the reply from Mr.Csound1 or other people who has the same thought.
Because if his saying is correct, maybe i should not need to care about the way of charging, but keep its level not to reach 0% (maybe 10% for more safely than 1%).
Because at that time, according to his information, i understand that battery chip is counting the percentage of charging, and at the time the total number of charge is come to 100%, it will increase count number by 1 and take care of counting charge level by its self again.
Example:
(First time of charge is 50%(from level 50% to 100%); second time of charge is 30%(from level 50% to 80%); third time of charge is 20%(from level 50% to 70%))
=> Total number reached to 100% and battery chip will increase count number by 1
=> Battery chip will start to check percentage of charging for next time as it made before. (start checking charge number from level 0%)
In case of his saying is not correct (confirmed by other people here), i will keep continue charging battery as written before in my first post (also same as your encouragement).
Once again, thank you for your reply dear Mr.Network 23.

(Looking for) Old discussion about »best« justification settings

Hi there!
I seem to remember there once was a vivid discussion about the best working justification settings in the old days of this forum – about 2 or 3 years ago, I would guess. Quoting »justification settings« I mean this tricky palette with minimum, desired and maximum values for word spacing, letter spacing, glyph scaling etc. I believe it was Dave Saunders among others taking part in that discussion ...
Well, the forum search didn’t help me a lot. Is there a chance to find any old discussion here at all?
Cheers,
Klaus

I have archives which are not on the forums any longer. I didn't find a post from Dave, but here's some posts from others...
Ole Kvern:
Fellow InDesigners,
For whatever it's worth, I start with:
Word Spacing: 95 / 100/ 140
I never use any letter spacing or glyph scaling (so those settings are at 0/0/0 and 100/100/100, respectively). I turn on optical kerning and use the paragraph composer. I put fairly tight limits on hyphenation.
This approach will sometimes result in overly-wide word spacing, but I've found that a.) wide word spacing is easy to find and fix, and b.) the reader's eye is less sensitive to variation in word spacing than it is to variation in letter spacing.
I look at every line in the book. No matter what your spacing settings are, nothing absolves you from this responsibility.
I think it works pretty well. Your mileage may vary.:-)
Kenneth Benson:
The "right" values for these settings depends on typeface, size, column
width, hyphenation settings, and the phase of the moon, but most books
use something close to 100% for Desired, something less than but close
to Desired for Minimum, and something greater than Desired for Maximum.
I'm looking at a book now that uses a 27p wide column, 10/12 Sabon, with
Justification settings at 80/100/133, but in this same spec I've seen
90/115/200 and 75/95/150. You need to give the program a range in which
to work; if you tell it to use 100/100/100, all the spaces will be
exactly the same size. The narrower the column, the bigger the type, the
more restrictive the hyphenation settings, the more generous you should
be with min/max settings. The wider the column, the smaller the type,
the less restrictive the hyphenation settings, the more restrictive you
can be with min/max settings. In the end, it comes down to what looks
best. Try a variety of settings on one page of justified type, and then
pick the one that looks the most readable.
Dominic Hurley:
Depends on the font (which is another point to consider - not all digital fonts with the same name have the same metrics, and if you are trying to match a book set with metal type you're in for a lot of manual work). Desired is usually set at 100 per cent (which means ID will strive to use the word spacing set in the font). I usually don't like seeing word spacing set below 90 per cent. Maximum is what you can live with. I always leave letterspacing set at 0 (I don't believe in it), but those who do use it will normally use a very tight range.
Mike Witherell:
No matter what Justification settings you setup in InDesign paragraph styles, InDesign will vary from it. My belief is to give it more parameters to work with, in order to get closer to what I want to see more often. I setup at least 2 if not all 3 settings to have a bit of leeway. For example:
Word Spacing: 80 / 100/ 120
Letter Spacing: -5 / 0 / 5
Glyph Scaling: 97% / 100% / 103%
If the OP wants looser spacing most of the time, he might try increasing the numbers, especially the desired, like this:
Word Spacing: 100 / 120 / 140
Letter Spacing: 5 / 10 / 15
I usually don't give an tracking values to the styles at all.
My apologies in advance to those who are horrified at the idea of glyph scaling.
There was another lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of glyph scaling...

Some additional info about the LR 4 Basic controls

Folks, there's been a lot of discussion about the new image adaptive controls in the PV 2012 Basic panel. A post on the Lightroom Journal provides some background. There's also a link to the research paper titled, Local Laplacian Filters: Edge-aware Image Processing with a Laplacian Pyramid. The paper was presented at SIGGRAPH 2011. Note, the paper is pretty high level.
So, rather than thinking the new controls somehow dumb down the image adjustments, I think it would be more accurate to conclude they are now very, very smart. Pretty deep stuff. I've met Sylvain Paris when I did an MIT visit arranged with Eric Chan (also from MIT). Pretty bright boys...I don't know the other authors of the paper.
So, PV 2012 in LR4 (and the next version of ACR) is pretty high tech...

Lee Jay...I gave you a helpful answer cause, well, it will be a good warning for people who want to download the SIGGRAPH paper and make some sort of sence of it.
I read it, more or less...the main takeaway is that LR4 is doing some pretty exotic calculations on the image to perform really optimized image adaptive adjustments...and it really boils down to being able to find and deal with edges and adjust zones of tone (as well as other potential filtering such as Clarity). At this point, this hasn't trickled down to image sharpening and noise reduction–yet. But the Basic panel adjustments in PV 2012 are really pretty darn cool.
P.S. I looked up Laplacian Operator and my eyes glazed over...

Macbook air charges fine with the Thunderbolt screen connection but only sometimes with the 45 W chargers.

My Macbook air charges fine with the Thunderbolt screen connection but only sometimes with the 45 W chargers. It seems to be the combination of the chargers and the computer. I was thinking whether the Thunderbolt screen has a larger power supply which easier activates the computer to actually receive the charge. It reminds me a bit of the Nokia Lumia 800 telephone, which when totally exhausted needs a strong charger to be activated again. I am as frustrated as most others. I have got two chargers, and both of them sometimes work, other times not. Sometimes, they start working after a while. Is Apple meanwhile coming up with a solution or advice how to handle such situation?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,
Clinton

Where's the HTC ThunderBolt Desktop Charger?????

How many owners are waiting on this accessory? The HTC ThunderBolt Desktop Charger has battery charging capabilities.
(Part#: HTC6400DTC)
It's been "Out of stock" since day 1, Verizon knows there are issues with the battery life, how about providing us a way to charge the device with the extended battery installed and a spare at the same time....Swapping batteries in and out is a pain and potentially damaging to the back covers.

Who are these "most people" ? And how are they using their device? ( "Awake" time and "actual usage" could vary greatly among those "most people" ). I see a lot of people jumping thru a lot of hoops to tweek away the core features touted on this phone to gain somewhat acceptable battery life. As far as I know Juice Defender is still beta (thanks but I'll wait on a finished, stable, relatively bugless release) I get different battery discharge rate on different days with absolutely nothing to point my finger at as a definitive cause. I've had the extended battery since day 1 (I don't mind the extra size and it actually fits my hands better) Most of the time I can make it thru my day with battery to spare but there have been days where my phone has warned me to charge immediately <15%)/ I have no social networks syncing, weather on 1 hour update( Too much fast changing this time of year ), email on 2 hour and I'm smack dab in the middle of solid red 4G coverage. My take on 4G is if it requires turning on/off to accommodate undersizing of the battery I've mitigated that by using the extended version.
The only charger capable of charging a Thunderbolt with the extended battery installed while also charging another battery (standard or extended) is HTC's. I don't want to add another charging device when 1 device will do. (I do also have a car charger)
