Do YOU call it "FCP X" or "FCP 10"?

During the past six weeks furious arguments have raged on the merits or otherwise of the forthcoming FCP X, but let's get down to the really important question which I don't think has been mentioned.
What do we call it?
Do we say "FCP X" (sounding the Roman letter/numeral "X") or "FCP 10"?
There may also be some fundamentalists who will insist on the full "Final Cut Pro" nomenclature with or without the "X" or "10".
I find myself naturally drawn to the former group, probably because for the last decade I have been brainwashed with "Mac OS X".
How on earth can you say, "OS Ten 10.6.6"? It sounds as though you are suffering from a digital stutter.
So forget magnetic timelines, clip collisions and the absence of a Viewer, let's concentrate on the really fundamental points.
Not what we do with it but how we pronounce it.
It's time to make a decision that will direct the course of history . . . . .

What it is is a debacle.
FCP has been used by tens of thousands of professional film makers, many, if not nearly all, have had experience with other kinds of editing systems, from film benches with upright Moviolas, Kem and Steenbeck flatbeds, linear editors made by CMX and Grass Valley, etc, to the ubiquitous crop of NLEs such as Adobe Premier, Avid, even Sony Vegas. The one link, bridging all of the above is sameness. Editors see the same tools, virtually the same or very familiar interfaces in all of them. So who but an an arrogant snob could possibly think that none of that matters? Apparently, Apple. By reinventing the wheel, by designing a completely new brand of NLE that requires complete schooling, and by breaking all ties and compatibility with all prior versions of FCP, Apple has erected a middle finger and pointed it at the thousands of loyal film professionals who've treated FCP as a family member, investing in her year after year, such as myself. I own a small studio, currently have 3 Apple workstations, and have been purchasing new Apple hardware religiously for 12 years. I have been using FCP since 2001, and have been upgrading hardware and software every 2 to 3 years. I'll admit, over the years, some of Apple's development preferences or lack of development decisions has disappointed me, such as their refusal to properly support Blu-ray technology. But this slap in the face is the last straw for me. Apple. I'm done with you. The next 3 computers, the next software purchases, will not be Apple products.

How do you revert to FCP 10.0.5 after unintentionally importing FCP 10.1.1?

How do you revert to FCP 10.0.5 after unintentionally importing FCP 10.1.1?

Yup.
I have two separate backups of my important stuff. After two I figure someone is out to get me with intent.
Just a switch on power, connect and a few clicks and I'm back up and running if that "OH NO" thing happens.
I talk to people who do not use their computer for what they call "serious work", thinking their stuff is not worth backing up.
Then after a short discussion they realize that the 2,000 or more photos/memories or whatever, could be all lost in a few seconds they pretty much race down, buy a drive and get their stuff backed up.
Moral of the story: BACK UP

Can you open an FCP 6.0 file in 5.0?

Well, that's my question: Can you open an FCP 6.0 file in 5.0? The machine with 5.0 is NOT a Duo Core system.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My 4S has stopped ringing. Voicemail's disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ring your end but it does nothing at mine and freezes if I make a call. Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!

My iPhone 4S has stopped ringing altogether. Voicemail is disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ringing at your end but it does nothing my end and freezes in the phone app if I make a call (doesn't ring or connect and doesn't freeze the phone, just the calling part). Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!
I've disabled roaming so it only runs on wifi (this after getting a £4k phone bill...) and I can use Skype, Viber and WhatsApp with no problem at all.
Would really appreciate any help at all!
Many thanks.

Hi there - am with Orange and they said nothing wrong with account and service running normally. They said if they had cut me off I would've received a text (debatable with current message receiving situation!) and when I called out it would say 'calls from this number are barred'. Also if you called me it would say something similar. But it doesn't, it will ring and ring until it rings off but nothing happens at all on my handset. Not even a missed call notification. If I call out, it will display that it is calling the number but that's it. If I cancel the call it will constantly display 'ending call'. If I come out of the phone and go to another app then revist phone it will start calling that last dialled number - without ever getting as far as ringing or connecting.

I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.

If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

What do you call this basic technique?

Request: Is there a name for the technique I'm using below, because I
know I've seen it and done it before.
Context: I'd like to allow the user to resize images, while preserving
their width:height aspect ratio. My GUI has a pair of JSpinners, for width
and height, and when one is adjusted, the other should change.
Example: if the aspect ratio is 2:1, setting the width spinner to 201
should cause the height spinner to change to 100 (I truncate), whilst setting
the height spinner to 100 should cause the width spinner to change to 200.
But: I don't want those reactions to cascade: from the example, if the
user sets the width spinner to 201, the height spinner should change to 100,
but that is where it should stop -- the width spinner shouldn't itself react
and change to 200.
My solution: I'm a fan of fixing it in the model, and here is my tweak for
SpinnerNumberModel: public class SafeSpinnerNumberModel extends SpinnerNumberModel {
     public SafeSpinnerNumberModel(int value, int minimum, int maximum, int stepSize) {
         super(value, minimum, maximum, stepSize);
     public void setValue(Object value) {
         if (!inSetValue) {
             inSetValue = true;
             super.setValue(value);
             inSetValue = false;
     private boolean inSetValue;
In my code, there are two JSpinners (with SafeSpinnerNumberModels),
and each model has a ChangeListener that reacts by adjusting the other model.
The flag stops the potential feedback loop.
So, again, what would you call this technique?
Thanks,
BDLH

Me too. And they love all those visual little
thingies so much: ooh, when
the number is positive it's displayed in black,
otherwise it's red. I'm a
genius! No lemme put 90 percent profit in here, just
for the "what-if"
question part. Yay! It's black!You should see some of the spreadhseets we have here. Risk management, process compliance, earned value management... I have no idea what any of this is, but its all thousands of rows of red-green-yellow, telling who's not doing any work. And if you change one value all the colors change all over the place. I bet they have Tetris encoded in there.

Can you Call qdbus?

Hi
After allot of upgrades, lot of .pacnew files resolving, a boot partition resize and grub reinstallation, I had allot of problems which is hardly surprising but I solved them all except one: when I login to KDE through KDM or GDM I get the good old error message
Could not start D-Bus. Can you Call qdbus?
And yes, I can call qdbus. I was seeing this error before I switched to systemd, but this was long time ago and then it was working until yesterday.
I can start kde by starting X from the console and then typing
DISPLAY=0 startkde &
but not from a display manager. Gnome starts fine.
I'm running out of ideas. Where should I look?

After
ln -s /usr/bin/qdbus /qdbus
I can login into kde and I do not get the above message. But kde get unresponsive from time to time when I switch between windows. I had this problem more than a year ago and was using xfce in the meantime. Does anyone have any ide this time what causes this error?

Can you call a plsql application process from a validation?

Can you call an on-demand plsql application process from a page validation?
Thank you,

Gayle:
I don't think you can do that. You could consider moving the ODP into the database as a stored procedure . The stored procedure can then be referenced in the ODP and in your validation code as well.

How do you call a field?

Good morning everyone,
I'm trying to work with the BufferedInputStream (work from friday) and i went to the website:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/BufferedInputStream.html#BufferedInputStream(java.io.InputStream)
at that website they have a "field summary" and i want to use the buf array (cause it says thats where the data is stored) but i cant figure out the coding to put it in my project. how do you call a field?

Fr. Murderess,
a) The short answer is "no". Only public methods and fields can be accessed that way.
b) If getting the "buf" field is of paramount importance to you, declare a class like this:
public class MyBufferedInputStream extends BufferedInputStream {
    public MyBufferedInputStream(InputStream in) { super(in); }
    public MyBufferedInputStream(InputStream in, int size) { super(in, size); }
    public byte[] getBuf() { return buf; }
    public void setBuf(byte[] newBuf) { buf = newBuf; }
}to get and set the "buf" field. As you can see by reading the source code of BufferedInputStream, the other fields (count, pos and markpos) are needed too, and you will need to provide the getters and setters for the other fields.
It's better not to "fiddle" with the protected fields of BufferedInputStream. Simply use BufferedInputStream "as is", and don't bother about the "buf" field.
I think that you will need to tinker only with the size of the buffer (maybe to cache more data inside), but it is available in the second constructor of BufferedInputStream (InputStream in, int size).

What name do you call the Flash Professional CS IDE program application thing?

Everybody continues to use different names to refer to the application from Adobe that Wikipedia calls
"The Adobe Flash Professional multimedia authoring program". I find myself using different names every time in discussions with my colleagues, though, since the term "authoring tool" doesn't really resonate with anyone. And it's rarely used as an "IDE", amongst any of my programmer colleagues.
What do you call it?

"unfortunately, "flash" is used to describe many different thing even by those who well versed on all things adobe. "
I wasn't answering for them.

How do you call a method from another class without extending as a parent?

How do you call a method from another class without extending it as a parent? Is this possible?

Why don't you just create an instance of the class?
Car c = new Car();
c.drive("fast");The drive method is in the car class, but as long as the method is public, you can use it anywhere.
Is that what you were asking or am I totally misunderstanding your question?
