Does Genius actually do anything?

I have over 3500 songs in my iTunes Library and all are available to Genius, but I have yet been able to use Genius to create a playlist. It's not like I am using some unheard of band or musician. I have Led Zeppelin, the Stones, the Beatles, Regina Specktor, Ani DiFranco, Metallica, The Who, Evanescence and hundreds of others.
All of these are pretty well know, yet every time I click on the Genius button, I get the same message
...Genius is unavailable for the song "....". Choosing Update Genius from the Store menu will update your Genius results. If, after updating, iTunes is still unable to identify this track, please choose another song or artist.....
I've followed the directions many times and still to no avail. What gives?

Have you checked and double-checked whether the tags for your songs (track title, artist, album title) are 100% correct? If not, Genius won't be able to recognize which song is which.
Edit: I have often noticed in other people's libraries that they have many unobtrusive spelling errors in artists' names etcetera; in such cases, Genius will not work.

I created a script to add logos to photos at a club and now when I run the script, the script runs but does not actually place anything on the photo itself. What's going on?

K330 "Performance Switch" -- Does it actually do anything?

I bought a new K330 (7727-3FU) that has the 3 mode performance switch on the front. What is the deal with this thing, is it just for looks? I've monitored CPU-Z/GPU-Z and run a myriad of benchmarks (Sandra, x264 HD encoding, PCMark) and the performance is always identical.
What exactly is that switch supposed to do other than change the color?

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

EBuyNow - has anyone actually received anything fr...

Hi everyone,
In early October I purchased the Freetalk camera for a Sharp Aquos TV from ebuynow. At this point they were showing out of stock with an expected delivery date of October 13th. October 13th my EBuynow account said "At warehouse - Will ship shortly".
On October 17th asking what was happening - at which point I was told the cameras will only be in stock on November 5th (so why did it say at warehouse?) and received $2 skype credit as a gift. I was a bit annoyed, but could cope with another 2 weeks wait.
November 1st, I receive an email saying these devices will only be in stock on November 20th. On the 20th, I tried to logging into my account to see what was happening, only for their system to say it didn't recognise my account. Even trying to reset my password returned an "account not found" message.
As a result, I emailed them asking what xxx xxxx was going on (I've been waiting a month for this camera and keep getting dicked around) only for them to reply stock is now arriving on December 5th. Went on their website to confirm and their website says stock arriving on December 6th - so I have a feeling I'm going to get screwed over on this again.
Has anyone actually received anything from ebuynow? Or should I just ring my credit card company and get them to reverse the charges? For me it seems the only thing this "global logistics company" does well is take your money.

Hello,
We have asked eBuyNow to investigate your order status.
Normally this supplier performs well and resolves customer queries promptly.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

How does genius identify songs?

I'm just starting to use the genius feature now to make quick playlists. I have a question, though.. What does genius use to identify songs? I've got some non iTunes songs in my library, stuff I've ripped from CDs, etc. I want to make sure genius is drawing from my entire library. Thanks.

I can make a Genius playlist using a song ripped from a CD or an MP3 from Amazon. Seems to work with anything in my library. Of course, Genius will ignore unchecked songs.

Thought I read this here, but found this on another forum. Is this for the S10 or is there a specific download?
Does this actually increase battery performance for the S10? Advice/Info appreciated, thanks.

Does hplip actually require foomatic-db?

Hi, I struggled for an hour to set up an HP Deskjet 3050 J610a connected via WiFi. I had hplip installed, but http://localhost:631/admin gave the cryptic message "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success". Finally I ran `sudo pacman -Rdd foomatic-db` and was able to install the printer without any more trouble.
So my question is: Does hplip actually require foomatic-db? If foomatic-db-engine is sufficient, foomatic-db should be removed from hplip's dependency list. In fact, it should probably be marked as a conflicting package.

Enterprise manager still requires a static service definition in listener.ora and does not rely on dynamic registration.

The SID_LIST is required for backward compatibility with Oracle8 or Oracle7 databases, as well as external procedures and heterogeneous services, and some management tools, including Oracle Enterprise Manager.

How does SUM actually works

Hi,
I'm puzzled by how SUM actually works.
I've got a table with the following fields:
SET_OF_BOOKS_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
SUMMARY_CODE_COMBINATION_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
DETAIL_CODE_COMBINATION_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
TEMPLATE_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
LAST_UPDATED_BY NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
LAST_UPDATE_DATE NOT NULL DATE
ORDERING_VALUE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25)
Using the below, I was able to get the total value of all the ordering value.
select sum(ordering_value) from gl_account_hierarchies where set_of_books_id = 1 and summary_code_combination_id = 1147;
I was happy that I could get the total value but am puzzled as ordering value is of data type VARCHAR2.
Is sum(ordering_value) a VARCHAR2 or a NUMBER then?
I did a simple test, inserting the following record:
insert into gl_account_hierarchies values(1,1024,1,2,3,'11-APR-2002','xyz');
After committing, I double check by using the following statement:
select * from gl_account_hierarchies where last_update_date = '11-APR-2002';
and was able to retrieve the newly inserted record.
But when I did another check with the following statement:
select * from gl_account_hierarchies where set_of_books_id = 1 and summary_code_combination_id = 1147;
I wasn't able to retrieve the newly inserted record.
Why is that so? How does SUM actually works? Is the output of SUM a VARCHAR2 or NUMBERIC value?
thanks in advance!!
Yu S.S

SUM() gives a number.
What you have come across is an implicit data conversion. Basically the SQL parser doesn't reject your query as being syntactically invalid just because you're attempting a mathematical function on a non-numeric column. Instead when you execute your query SQL substitutes this
select sum(to_number(ordering_value)) from gl_account_hierarchies where set_of_books_id = 1 and summary_code_combination_id = 1147;
If you want to check this create a view
create order_value as select sum(ordering_value) sum_val from gl_account_hierarchies ;
and then desc it.

Does any actually use Pert view?

The Pert view seems to very hard to organize activities especially when you're working with a couple hundred of them. Does anyone actually use the Pert view, and why do you use it instead of the bar chart? Is Pert better for small projects that don't have many activities?

Mike M ,
Under most circumstances we do not use a "pert" formatted chart. They are cumbersome with larger projects but every once in a while a stakeholder has a preference for that particular "look". It all depends on the way the project manager or lead is used to working with his or her schedules.
I find them useful in the planning stages of putting a schedule together.
hope this helps,

Does anyone actually answer the support Chat?

I'm unable to run Photoshop CC. I've been holding for chat support for almost 30 minutes. It keeps saying, "We are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience. You can also try ourcommunity forums, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
Does anyone actually answer it? How long is the wait? It's pretty frustrating.

I was on hold for over 3 hours before I finally got a hold of someone.
Then it took an hour to figure out my issue. I had to log completely out and then log into the Creative Cloud app in my system try before logging into the application. Apparently if you do them in the reserve order, it tell you your internet connection is bad.
So, 4 hours to resolve my issue.

So I just dowloaded Photoshop and I never got it. I dont know if im doing something wrong or anything. It say that i purchased it so if anyone can help me that would be great :D
