Everything you need to know about Foxtel Go

Foxtel on T-Box customers can self register Foxtel Go on 2 devices per Foxtel on T-Box subscription. You are able to view content on 1 of the 2 registered devices. The T-Box device will automatically be registered on your behalf and cannot be deregistered. You can change the device they have registered once per calendar month.
To change a registered device you must log into the Foxtel Go app. As a Foxtel from Telstra customer please use your Foxtel My account details. As a Foxtel on T-Box customer please log in with your primary (i.e. the first username created and linked to your account) BigPond username and password.
Once in the app go to the settings icon and choose 'manage my devices'. Within this section of the app you will be able to select de-register for the device you wish to change. To register, download the Foxtel Go app and log in. You will be prompted to register the device.
Remember you can only change one device once per calendar month. If you are still able to make a change, you will be advised of the number of device registrations left this month.
If you recently registered your T-Box, you should have access to Foxtel Go within 1 hour. If you are experiencing errors please try closing the Foxtel Go App and logging in again. If you are still unable to access any content please contact us via Telstra 24x7 or Telstra Technical Support on 13 22 00
If you swap your Foxtel on T-Box service to a new device, your Foxtel Go service is not affected as it is associated to your BigPond username and password, and not the T-Box device.
When trying to make a second device change within a month the de-register' button will be greyed out, preventing the change.
Current channel rights only allow Foxtel Go to be registered on 3 devices per Foxtel Account. For Foxtel on T-Box customers, the T-Box counts as your 3rd device.
The parental control function is specific to Foxtel Go and managed in the app via the settings icon. To access parental control:
Go to the settings' icon in the app (top right)
Access parental controls'
Choose which classifications you'd like to restrict
All R-rated content is automatically blocked, but you can personalise your restrictions for other ratings. To do this go to Settings in the Foxtel Go app, turn on Parental Controls and restrict the classifications you would like to block. If this is the first time you do this you'll be prompted to set a 4 digit PIN specifically for Foxtel Go. You can use this PIN to change your parental controls in the future. This PIN is only applicable to the Foxtel Go app. For Foxtel from Telstra customers, the PIN is not the same as you use on your IQ or Set Top Box, and you will be required to setup a new PIN to restrict content on Foxtel Go. For Foxtel on T-Box customers, the PIN is not the same as you use on your T-Box, and you will be required to setup a new PIN to restrict content on Foxtel Go.
Foxtel Go content is unmetered with Telstra BigPond Home Broadband services. With other internet service providers this will be offset against your data plan.
If you use Foxtel Go on your device with any 3G/4G telecommunications service provider, including Telstra, usage isn't unmetered and you will incur data charges when using Foxtel Go. The below list provides an indicationof the data you will use per device on the various app settings, based on watching an hour of TV. To view your settings go to the 'settings' icon in the Foxtel Go App, turn on 'video settings' and choose your preferred quality:
3G Phone/Tablet Best: 320 MB per hour / Low: 170 MB per hour
Wi-Fi Phone Best: 420 MB per hour / Low: 320 MB per hour
Wi-Fi Tablet Best: 720 MB per hour / Low: 320 MB per hour
Wi-Fi PC/Mac Best: 1310 MB per hour / Low: 470 MB per hour
The size of each episode or Movie on Catch up TV can be found on the Synopsis tab.
You can use Foxtel Go at a Wi-Fi location or a personal hotspot when you are in Australia provided you have an internet connection. Some locations offer Wi-Fi hotspots where you can log onto the internet for free. e.g. McDonalds, Starbucks, etc. Any data charges incurred are charged to the business and not to you. When connected to Wi-Fi, you'll see a Wi-Fi symbol on your device.
Foxtel from Telstra customers with a Foxtel iQ or iQHD set top box can Remote Record and send a channel change to their set top box. Unfortunately this functionality is not available to Foxtel on T-Box customers.
You can pause and rewind the last 30 minutes of Live TV, even if you've just changed to that channel. Due to device restrictions users of Samsung Android devices are unable to use this feature.
Foxtel Go is a streaming video service. Streaming means that images and sound are delivered live to your device to view when you press Play, rather than being downloaded to your device to view at a later time.
Games you'd normally see on Foxtel from Telstra or Foxtel on T-Box on FOX SPORTS 3 are broadcast on Foxtel Go on the Footy Play Plus channel
There are no Catch Up of AFL games or magazine shows on Foxtel Go due to content restrictions.
The key symbol indicates that a channel isn't part of your package. You need to upgrade your Foxtel from Telstra or Foxtel on T-Box package to watch it. Your package can not be updated through the Foxtel Go app. For Foxtel on T-Box customers you can update your packages in the T-Box App, at www.telstra.com/tboxsetup, via 13 2200 or in store. For Foxtel from Telstra customers you can update your packages through the store or via 13 1999. The lock symbol indicates that, as part of your parental control setting, you've locked this classification of content, and can't watch it. If you want to change the settings then the primary (i.e. the first username created and linked to your account) account holder can change these by:
Go to the settings' icon in the app (top right)
Access parental controls'
Choose which classifications you'd like to restrict
No other username or password can change the parental control settings.
We may be required to block out specific programming from time to time, e.g. if a channel doesn't have the legal right to broadcast the programme over the internet. However, all live channels are the same as channels you watch through Foxtel from Telstra or Foxtel on T-Box.
The vast majority of the Foxtel on T-Box content is available via Foxtel Go. There are some minor exceptions. MTV Music and MTV Dance channels are not available. FOOTY PLAY and FOOTY PLAY+ (overflow) channels are not available on PC and Mac only.
Access to Foxtel Go is included in your Foxtel on T-Box and Foxtel from Telstra subscription. However, you will incur data charges when accessing the service on a 3G/4G network.

(solved) T61 swap cpu? (everything you need to know about swapping a T61 or T61p CPU)

Edit: I've summerized everything I've learned in a week long search and added it to this topic, so scroll down and read. You'll save yourself many hours of reading and research.
I asked this as part of a prior topic but never got a definite answer, so I'll ask this specific question.
Can I swap a cpu from one t61 to another?
Donor system: T61 15.4widescreen with T9300 cpu (2.5ghz, 6mb cache)
New System: T61 15.4 widescreen with T8100 cpu (2.1ghz, 3mb cache)
I'd like to know for sure before I begin. Best answer I got so far is "I think so".
ps. I also have a 14" (non-widescreen) t61 with a T7300 cpu (2.0ghz 4mb cache). I'm thinking the larger cache makes this superior to the T8100 even though it's slightly slower, do you agree? and if not, should I put the leftover T8100 in it? will it fit? more trouble then it's worth? (secondary question, but non-urgent)
ThinkPad W-510 i7-820QM(1.73-3.06GHz) Quad Core... ThinkPad T500, T9900, 8gb SSD...FrankNpad T-60p/61p (X9000 2.8ghz) 8gb SSD ips FlexView...ThinkPad T-61p (T9300 2.5ghz) 8gb ram...Thinkpad X-61 Tablet 4gb ram...ThinkPad A-31 (1.9ghz P4 1.5gb ram)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm going to add some additional info to this post to help anyone who reads it.
The T61 / T61p was manufactured with one of two different types of CPUs
Merom (older)
Penryn (newer)
If your system board came with a Merom and you install a Penryn, you'll get a false "thermal error" on boot. There is a 3rd party bios to block that error from posting, but it's unauthorized by Lenovo and should be considered experimental.
If your system board came with a Penryn, you can install either of the two CPUs.
If your not sure of which CPU you have, load your bios and it will show you it's intel number. Mine is T9300 (which is a 2.5GB Penryn CPU with 6MB of cache). Go to Intel's website and search that number and towards the top of the page it will say something like "formerly Penryn" (I believe "formerly" is used because they are out of production).
Example: http://ark.intel.com/products/33917/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9300-(6M-Cache-2_50-GHz-800-MHz-FSB)
Since Penryn is newer, your Merom boards won't be able to run the faster CPUs, so you can either try to find the fastest Merom CPU, or if you want to be daring you can reflash your bios with an unoffical firmware and run the Penryn. Although this has been done successfully with thinkpad enthousiats world-wide, it still won't give you full Penryn support.
The fastest Merom processor I know of is that a T61 will run is the T7800 It runs at 2.6ghz and has 4MB cache (note that this is slightly faster ten my 2.5gz Penryn, but my 6MB of cache more then makes up for the slight difference in speed.
The fastest Penryn processor I know of is that the T61 will run is the T9500 It runs at 2.6ghz and has 6MB cache (some day I'll get one of these when the price in the used parts market drops low enough.
There are faster processors, but I believe the T61 will not support one with a front size buss rate above 800mhz. *note, if anyone knows if this is possible please contact me and I'll edit this information.
This should fully explain all the technical details I've discovered during my investigation, but to make this topic more complete, I'll hare a photographic guide showing how to remove and replace your CPU and cooling fan, and also addresses replacing your thermal paste (proper use of thermal paste is a MUST, to much and you could end up with a T61 paperweight, to little and you got the same problem. Basically when the heatsink is tightened down onto your CPU and GPU, it should spread to cover all the chip, with as little as possible overspread. I recommend Artic Silver #5, which is made of 99.9% silver filings. They also make a less expensive version that uses alumimum instead of silver, but given that T61 is known for thermal problems, you don't want to get cheap paste to save yourself all of $5.
Buying a new fan should be considered too. You can buy the fan alone for $12 includinng shipping from many ebay sellers. The heatsink and fan can also be purchased as a unit, but your heat sink should last the life of the Laptop. There is also a conductive "pad" that transfers heat from your systemboard chipset. This can be reused, just make sure it is intact and don't allow it to get any dust or finger prints on it. I'd also recommend a can of compressed air to blow out the inside of the laptop. Do this before you remove your cpu, you don't want to be blowing crap into the socket.
Also be very careful not to bend any pins on the CPU, and inspect the new CPU carefully, a slightly bent pin could miss being detected and if you insert the cpu carelessly, you'll crush it.
Online guide to replace CPU
PDF guide (better guide in my opinion)
If anyone has a suggestion for improving this guide, send me a P.M.
If you found this information useful, click me some "kudos" so I'll know the time spent in sharing the info I learned is appriciated.

Things You Need To Know about old= New iMac

1) Your HP All-In-One printer/scanner/copier - will it work with this new Leopard iMac? Maybe. I struggled with the all-in-one Printer Scanner Copier PSC 2355 for hours, and that includes reading the discussion forums on Apple's website. Apple support will tell you to call HP. HP will tell you to call Apple, or to check back for updated drivers. This was unacceptable. I finally crossed my fingers and loaded HP drivers for "Tiger", the previous OS version. Hey, the PSC 2355 works perfectly. Hope you have success also.
(2) PPT and PPS files in email. If you do not have Microsoft Office and PowerPoint, you need to know this: iMac comes with a trial version of Keynote and a trial version of PowerPoint software. If you receive a PowerPoint slide show from a friend, and you click on it to view it in Mail, Keynote may open up, for the first month or so. But if you don't buy keynote, this will eventually stop working. If MS PowerPoint opens up, same trouble - it may work a month or so. On my machine, the trial version actually locked up the iMac at the "Splash Screen". And if you don't buy Keynote, MS PowerPoint or MS Office for Mac, then your last hope for seeing PPT and PPS files is "Quicklook" which doesn't step through slides one at a time, but presents them as a long document. Not so great. Our solution was (A) delete the trail versions, and (B) buy a family pack of iWork and then everyone gets Keynote. Too bad the PPT and PPS music doesn't work.
(3) Moving old iMac (circa 2001) files to new iMac. This worked very nicely and seamlessly - all the music, photos, passwords, bookmarks, email moved smoothly from old iMac to new iMac. Only thing is... I think some old crap also moved. Old stuff that will never work in Leopard such as OS 9 apps and games. Even found some old fonts moved. THUS, we received an error "Helvetica narrow substituted for Helvetica which is corrput". Apple support was useless, telling me to reinstall the entire system, which did not solve the problem. After reading Apple discussions, someone suggested copying the fonts from the system folder to the user's library folder. Problem goes away, all is well.
(4) Thus, once you get these kinks worked out, you will LOVE this new iMac. built in camera, mic, fantastic screen and color rendition, fast processor, wonderful iLife apps, and the whole experience. Hope my comments help you transition into your new Mac Life.
John C

I have my Mini Mac with Leopard 10.5.1 for about 3 weeks. My learning curve looks like a dead man's EKG, thus my simplistic question: OpenOffice or NeoOffice? I basically write and have old files rescued from my Windows 98 written in Word 2000. For my purposes, is one office program preferable to the other?
Thanks.

All you need to know about Operator-Variant softwa...

There are lots of myths and misunderstandings about phone software, and you don't need to search far on this forum to see the issues that can be caused, so this post will try to answer the common questions.
What is Operator Variant / Branded phone software?
In many markets, mobile network operators dominate the sale of mobile phones, and their power in the market gives them the leverage to demand changes to the phones that they sell. Branding may include unique colour schemes for outer casings, logos on cases, default themes showing the network logo and using network colours, changes to the phone software to remove features, change features or add extra features, and in some cases different pre-installed applications.
What features might be missing?
Common ommissions in branded phones are features for which the network makes no money. For example, some networks including Vodafone removed VOIP capabilities from their versions of the N95 in many markets because they preferred their customers to make chargeable GSM calls instead. Another good example is the American network AT&T, which removes the voice-dialling feature of phones in favour of its own network-based service which requires a monthly subscription.
You will often also find that the section of the S60 Settings Wizard that deals with settings for MMS and internet access points is also missing, making it difficult for people who switch to other networks to reconfigure their phones for the new provider.
Who changes the software?
You often see people saying that "(operator name) changes the software...", but this isn't strictly true - your operator doesn't open every box and change the software before selling you the phone, they provide a list of their required modifications to the phone manufacturer before they accept to place any orders, and the modified (or branded) software is then presented back to the network for approval, after which orders are placed - the phone leaves the factory in its branded state, and in many cases in a SIM-locked state.
Why can't I update?
The network holds intellectual rights to the branded software, and just as they approve the changes in the initial version before they begin to sell any particular model, they also exercise the right to approve software updates before the manufacturer can release them. This often causes delays to software releases, and can even prevent software releases. For example, our old friends the Orange and T-mobile groups hit N95 owners by refusing to approve v20 for their branded versions at a time when N-Gage gaming was being relaunched, meaning that N95 users couldn't meet the minimum software requirements to run N-Gage software.
It is common for networks to stop approving updates after they stop selling a particular model, as they no longer see any profit in supporting the handset any more. Some networks, and any customers of the Hutchinson 3G group around the world will testify to this, seldom approve any updates at all. If you have a problem related to software and call your network for support, expect to be told that the problem is a delay on the part of the manufacturer, but this common excuse is simply untrue - the manufacturer can only release updates for branded phones when it receives network approval.
Why does branded software cause so many problems?
This one you'll never get an official answer to, because the phone manufacturers and mobile networks walk a fine line in their professional relationships, but my educated guess is that the manufacturer doesn't extensively test modified operator-variant software because since the network needs to give approval, it is assumed they will test that the changes meet their requirements and work correctly. The network likewise doesn't fully test the software because it assumes that the manufacturer has done it - classic lack of communication.
Can I remove branding and install the standard Nokia software?
Strictly speaking, No. There are plenty of people on the internet ready to tell you how to do it and provide software to help, but anything you do yourself is an unauthorised change that will invalidate the warranty. You risk causing additional damage to an expensive phone and losing support to repair it.
It is known that you can have this officially changed by a Nokia service point or Flagship store, provided that any SIM-lock has already been officially removed by the network, and in some cases that the network provides written consent for this change; the phone would be changed to a generic product code, the software reflashed, and if completed properly, a new product information label will be put in the battery compartment reflecting the change. However, we also know from this forum that not all service points offer this service, and in some countries the local Nokia head office does not permit it.
It's my phone, I bought it, I own it, I can do as I please!
Yes, and no. Network operators and retailers are guilty of not warning customers that their product is a modified version rather than an original version, but at the end of the day you have paid for and accepted a branded phone. In order to benefit from the support of the device warranty, any work has to be carried out by an authorised person, just like any other product from calculators to cars.
Edit: one of my trademark typos corrected.

Make sure you have entered your Voyager licence code in CMC.
I'm using BOXI R3. but is same for BOXIR2 Make sure you have defined a voyager connection in the CMC.
in here you need to specify
Server type: Server
Server: your SSAS 2005 server name
then click the Connect and type a user ID with appropriate authority to the cubes.
then select the cube you want.
then specify:

You then should be able to create a new Vouager workspace from the infoview.
Hope this Helps (ive got about 20 cubes accessed by Vouager... not such a flash viewer but its the only thing BO offer. OLAP intelligence (a good product) is no longer available!

Things you need to know about 6280

Hi everybody, I used to have a 6680 and I say this with regret. Why? I gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. Now that was a good sturdy functional phone. Now I bought a 6280 from Vodafone. I wanted a N70 but the Vodafone representative recommended this one. I chose to go with the 6280 because the N70 looked a little bit too fragile. She also said there are no significant differences. Well, she couldn’t be more wrong. Let me tell you why. The first thing I should mention is that 6280 is not a symbian phone! This, for who knows what it means, it is a lot. I wasn’t aware. You cannot switch between applications for one. So now since I bought it, I gave it a go, see what it is all about. Nice graphics, big screen, no problems (I read here somebody had some). The first annoying thing that hit me is the back light. Goes out in an instant. Or 10 seconds they say. Depends on how you measure time. The problem is you cannot adjust that. Neither the contrast. Nor the luminosity. Some people find these features useful. Nokia seems doesn’t. Some people said on this forum that the sliding front does not have a good grip. Mine seem to do. Navigating through folders is somewhat frustrating but this is subjective. Another thing you should know is that you cannot set the memory card as the default storage space and the phone memory is small. Just about 5MB free with … nothing on it. But I guess you can get around that and be happy with what you have. Now for the real problems. One big issue for me was synchronizing with Outlook. I got it working in the first try. No problems there. But when checking the contact list on the phone … well, disappointment. The 6280 does not record company name, job title and birthday. This is a huge problem for somebody well organized like me. Birthdates are saved in calendar but they do not show up in the contact details. Try finding a birthday through the entire calendar! Second thing that got me down is that the contact phones have no area codes. This you might say “well, it’s ok”. Not if you modify something and then you get your contact updated in Outlook with no area codes. Again BIG problem. My second frustration was with the email accounts. It was hell to figure out how to configure and then I realized. If you have multiple email accounts … you should get another phone. 6680 is good. I assume any symbian enabled phone will do. Not this one. You cannot have all the emails grouped or in separate folders at least as it is on s60 phones. No. here you have to go to “Menu – Settings – Configuration – Personal Config Settings – select other email account and activate it”. Then you go back and go into the email folder. Good job Nokia! I think they could have found a worst sequence to do it. Also, get this, I assume (99% I know) that the emails get stored in the phone memory. You have no way of moving to memory card and no way of reading office or pdf files. Note that on symbian there are applications to do it. As for the battery, I don’t know yet. It did not last one day anyway but I gave it a good run and I know it will improve after several recharges. The good things I know about this phone is that the video has a good quality. I cannot say for pictures because I do have a professional digital SLR camera and I cannot compare without being mean. It is still a phone. The radio is average. Good enough I say. Small note to end this. The phone should have predictive text input. Should, because it is not in the menu. A problem that a firmware update should resolve. I don’t know to what version since I might have the last one. It is: v 03.60 10-02-06. I would buy another model. If you are like me, pay attention to all I had to say. Cheers!

Good posts a lot of information I needed or to know, or more so wish I'd known prior to purchasing the 6280. Came across this post while trying to find resolutions to a number of the 'problems' with this model that you've listed, or for accuracy's sake functional and features missing from this phone or poorly develop, in comparison to other models.
Fact: One 'bug' that hasn't been raised in these posts is the management of a contact thumbnail's through PC Suite does work. Adding a thumbanil on the PC doesn't appear on the phone, and adding a thumbnail on the phone doesn't appear on the PC.
Oppinion: The lack of management/handling of Company name & Birthday were the killer for me!
Fact: Also I've only had the phone about 2 days now and I've had it just stop and mysteriously restart on me about 4 times. Admittly I've been using it a lot but not doing anything out of the ordinary to expect that.
Oppinion: On the plus side the screens resolution great, and the photos very good for a phone. Neat little cropping tool, but nothing to rotate. Although the camera doesn't have a protector the case can be replace fixing and scratches! The phone is generally pretty responsive, boots and shuts down very quickly too.
Oppinion: I'm probably being over critical here but the video call's camera at half arms length barely shows your whole face, at full arms length it's 'closer' to what you'd see on a passport. Although at this distance viewing the person your calling is more difficult. The phone has a good digital zoom in-out feature during a video call. But given the small portion of you shown under normal circumstances I don't imagine this would get used often. Admittly it was entertaining to keep the phone where it was and zoom in on my eye, but it's entertainment value will wear off (or maybe i could call me iridologist).

All You Need to Know About MSAS and Voyager (Hopefully)

Post Author: chemstoc
CA Forum: Olap
There seems to be several problems with trying to connect Voyager to Microsoft Analysis Server Cubes.
We have struggled with this for several weeks and I hope to both get answers and document the steps that are required to make this connection work.
We run MSSQL Server 2005 on an XP machine in the development environment (Cheap!) and have had no issues connecting to the cubes with other software (Notably Targit and Excel, etc.) When we try to attach BOXI Voyager in the Productivity Pack, we cannot get the OLE connection to log in to the server.
We are not sure if it is because it is connecting to an XP machine? Or there isn't sufficient "rights" on the XP machine? Or BOXI requires the "ANONYMOUS" user to be setup in the security tab on the MSSQL Management console?
Any help from any of you that have ACTUALLY gotten this Voyager connection working would be tremendously appreciated.

What you need to know about British Telecom Total ...

I don't want to waste time on this forum. I've changed to Virgin - and thank God !
Here's the text of the last letter I wrote to Customer Service Director, BT plc, Correspondence Centre, Durham, DH98 1BT. I got the briefest of replies, which dealt with none of the points I raised.
During April I was engaged in searching for a new flat. There were a number of possible candidates. I phoned British Telecom to ask about the service to the flat I favoured
Your representative told me that I could expect up to 4 Mbs in this are. That was a lie
The maximum possible speed is 2 Mbs. My IP Profile has typically been 1,2Mbs and currently you have restricted me to .9 Mbs and then to .78 Mbs
Given that I was at the start of an 18 month contract with you, I would not have moved to this address had I been told – truthfully – by BT that this area is the worst in Cardiff for Internet access.
In the same call your representative told me that there would be no problem providing a telephone service to 93 B because the line had very recently been in use and just needed to be switched on at the exchange That was a lie.
Before moving in, I plugged a handset into the BT socket. There was no 'soft dial tone' which confirms that an inactive line is still connected to the exchange. I notified BT three times, but was assured – in a patronising manner – that then line had been tested and would be connected Friday 30th May. It wasn't of course.
I notified BT by email. No reply on Saturday, nor the following days. On Tuesday an engineer called me. He told me my phone was working. I said it wasn't. He said he would check and ring me back within a half hour. He did not do so.
It was not until the following Friday, that an engineer called and the problem was resolved. By that time I had spoken to the landlord and discovered that the BT line had not been in use for some time. Previous tenants had taken the Virgin Media telephone service. The flat had been decorated and the condition of the BT cabling inside the house could not be guaranteed.
You have therefore deprived me of my telephone/internet service during the first week of May. You have not offered any compensation.
I now raise a matter which may seem marginal, but which speaks volumes for the way British Telecom manage their business. The BT website offers a 'BT Community Forum'. I registered to use it because I wanted to document my experience for the benefit of other customers. The procedure ends with a message saying that an email with a clickable link will be sent, serving to verify the identity of the person registering. No such email was received. I tried again. No result. I notified BT. No reply.
After perhaps six emails, a young woman phoned me. She wasted half an hour of my time establishing what I had already said in my emails. She said she would pass the matter on to technicians. No response – of course.
It is evident that BT does not allow customers to register to use the BT community Forum, for fear that you will receive bad publicity. Given the shoddy manner in which you treat your customers, I imagine that bad publicity is inevitable. The Forum is a sham.
I now come to the main issue – the provision of an Internet service. I wish once more to make it clear that it is not the slowness of this service that is the principal issue – it is the dishonesty of British Telecom personnel.
I add that I am being advised by an independent expert who is an ex-BT manager with knowledge of the provision of digital services in Cardiff. You will understand that the press are always interested in 'whistle-blowers'
If I had been honestly advised by BT that the area I was proposing to move to was poorly served by BT for digital services – and if I was experiencing the best speed that the line could offer me – about 1.5 Mbs real download speed – then I would consider myself bound by my contract with you. I would have moved to this area, knowing what performance I could expect.
However, as I have outlined above, my decision to move here was largely based on a lie told to me by your representative on the phone – that I could expect up to 4Mbs
In addition, the line speed has now been restricted to .78 Mbs. In my last letter I said that on the first occasion this 24 hour restriction was imposed I had complained and the peak time restriction was lifted. I had 1.2 Mbs off-peak, and .9 Mbs peak speeds.
This continued to the end of May. On the 2nd June ther 24 hour restriction was reimposed.
I have received an email from your customer service manager stating that this is simply because of 'long line length'. Very little technical knowledge is required to know that that statement is nonsense.
My independent advisor tells me that in fact technicians constantly 'tune' speeds in bad areas. Obviously you try to get as many customers under contract as possible by lying to them about the speeds they will receive, then progressively reduce their line performance in order to accommodate other customers
It is quite simply an outrage that BT should behave in this fashion, and nothing will please me more than having an opportunity to describe all of this in court.
I estimate that the damages in time and stress you have caused me amount to one thousand pounds. I look forward to receiving your cheque for that amount.

Hi sonsenfrancais,
Welcome to the forum.
I am sorry to hear you've now moved to another provider following some problems with the installation of your line and broadband speeds, if there's anything you'd like us to look into feel free to drop me an email at [email protected] with your BT account details.
All the best,
Stephanie

Everything you wanted to know about books... and then some.

Hi, all:
With all the questions and speculation about how books are printed, what color profile to use, etc. I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:

For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:

Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum. If you have any other questions, please reply to this email and we will help you further.
Hope this will answer some of your questions more clearly.

Thanks, Toad. That was very informative. I don't really know anything about McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock, but I seem to have a small problem with it (or maybe the gloss/varnish on top, if there is any). I imagine I'm not the only one. My hardcover photo books have always come out beautiful. At home in Southern California, I can leave them on the coffee table without a problem usually. However, if I travel to humid areas of the East Coast with a book, or if it rains for several days here, the book paper will start to develop a wavy, wide corrugation around the edges that is very obvious when the book is viewed in profile. This does not seem to completely go away when the humidity goes back down. Other, "store bought" books around the house don't seem to do this. Have you seem or heard of this before? Thanks.

Got my new iPhone 4.0.......everything you need to know

New iPhone is awesome......to say the least. Activation and restore went without a hitch and took less than 15 minutes to perform. The first sync took approximately 40 minutes to get my music (25gb) and photos (2gb) back on the iPhone. Only issue to so far has been my "folders" on the 3GS weren't created during the restore process. It did have to synce all of the apps again so I'm going to try another restore once all of the music and photos are on the phone.
Process is straight forward:
1. Backup your old iPhone - mine was a 32gb 3GS running iOS4.0
2. Plug in the new iPhone 4.0 - it will ask to port the number to the new phone and activate
3. Unplug the iPhone and sync again only this time use the restore feature to get all of your settings
4. Perform another sync to get your apps, music, and photos
Your done!!!

My only issue so far has been with my initial sync with iTunes this morning. The sync started normally and proceeded to perform a backup.....halfway through the backup, the iPhone reset itself and cycled through to the home screen. No data/information was lost - the iPhone is fine. But, it never performed the complete sync with iTunes.
I haven't tried a 2nd sync yet and will look to see if others have experienced this.

What does a BI Developer need to know about SAP tables and why?

Hi,
i.
As a BI Developer, to what extent do you need to know about SAP tables?
e.g. if you work mainly in the functional areas LO and FI
ii.
For example, I know that in Finance, GL relates to the tables BSEG and BKPF.
And if it is important to know about them, then which other tables need to be known and for what reasons?
e.g. do I need to know all these tables: http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/abap/tables_fi.htm
iii.
I thought as a BI Developer, knowing that a particular datasource, e.g. 0FI_GL_4 contains line items is enough and you replicate it to BW and work with it. Why is there the need to know the tables from which this datasource gets is data?
iv. What is the main difference between the FI datasources and the LO datasource?
Thanks.

If you want to know the data flow and reconsilization then you need to know it else not required
iv. What is the main difference between the FI datasources and the LO datasource?
Yes, one main difference is There is no setup table concept for FI DataSource*
Note: If you want to become a good BW consulatnt you must know about Tables for normal BW consultant it is not required.

When I went and connected phone to my laptop and hit restore and it got rid of everything my photos my contacts everything and I don't know how to get the stuff back and if you need to know I have an IPhone4S

When I went and connected my phone to my laptop and hit restore and it got rid of everything my photos my contacts everything and I don't know how to get the stuff back and if you need to know I have an IPhone4S

I take it you were replacing an older iPhone and this was the first time you plugged it in? If so, that's what happens. It restored the backup of your old phone. A backup of the current phone is not made in those circumstances.
If that's not what happened, you need to clarify.

FAQ: I already have a Revel account. What do I need to do? What do I need to know about this?

Q: I already have a Revel account. What do I need to do? What do I need to know about this?
A: If your Revel account uses the same Adobe ID as your Photoshop.com account, your JPEGs will be moved there. Otherwise, a new Revel account will be set up for you using the same Adobe ID you use with your Photoshop.com account.
Revel accounts can be merged manually. Use the Adobe Media Downloader to download all of the JPEG photos from your Photoshop.com library and then upload those photos to your existing Revel account.
Click here to archive your Photoshop.com library so you do not lose any files.
You will be asked to download an Adobe Air application called Media Downloader
