F14, F15, F16 -- why are these keys on my Mac Keyboard ?

*** !!
Why are these keys added to my Macintosh Keyboard [circa September 2006] if the **** operating system won't allow us to use them ?
What the **** Apple ??

My 5+ year old keyboard has the F13 F14 F15 keys sitting all by their lonesome above the help, home, page up block of keys, and I set them to do the three Expose functions, so the system will use them (at least if you have the right hack). All the F keys used to be handier though, back in the OS 9 days, when I assigned them to do all sort of things.

Why are these Webservices not supported in VC ?

Hi all,
I am using NW04s SP9, and I plan to make MDM-Application with VC.
Therefore I introduced MDM-WebService into NW and defined it on VC.
but "searchRecords" of "MDMSearchRecords" was displayed with "Not supported"
in the right frame .
Mmm...
So I decided to think from a beginning.
[http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl|http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl]
I defined above it on VC and I used "Getholidaydate" .
Good! .
However,,, "Getholidaysforyear" was also "Not supported".
Why are these methods "Not supported" ? .
and how will come to be usable these methods in VC? .
Thanx in advance.

What are these Key Figures / Attributes

What are these Key Figures / Attribute? Could some one explain it?
$$PERIODIDCU$$
$$PERIODIDFR$$
$$PERIODIDTO$$
For example, one of it is used in SAP2 model, for Key Figure DEMANDPLANNINGQTY.
It has a calculation of IF("PERIODID" >= "$$PERIODIDCU$$", IF(ISNULL("DEMANDPLANNINGQTY@PERPRODCUST"),"MKTGPROMOTIONFCSTQTY@PERPRODCUST","DEMANDPLANNINGQTY@PERPRODCUST"),"ACTUALSQTY@PERPRODCUST")
Thank you.

$$PERIODIDCU$$ is a call to look up what the current period is based on the system date plus your current period offset configuration.
So the above formula says if the period ID that you are reporting on is greater than equal to the current period in the system (taking into consideration any offsets you may have configured), then do the subsequent logic.
I haven't seen the "FR" and "TO" syntax for period id, but I can only assume they are related to some sort of "from" and "to" range for period id.

Why are Symmetric keys shorter than ASyemmetric keys and provide the same level of security.

Hello
Can someone please help me with the following question.
Can someone please give me a brief (if possible) why Symmetric Keys which are much shorter than Asymmetric keys provide a similar level of security (e.g. take as long to crack).
I understand RSA and can to the math with a piece of paper and the Windows advanced calculator (e.g. encrypt and decrypt a sort message using a couple of small prims likes 53 and 59).
I also understand ( to a very basic level) AES e.g. 128bit block cypher (I believe a CBC cypher using an unpredictable IV)
Is there a simple answer if someone says why are Symmetric keys shorted and just as secure or it is just how it is? due to the different math?
Thank you

Symmetric Key is used for same key for encrypsion & decryption but ASyemmetric key is used two keys (Public & private key) for
encrysion & decryption.
ASyemmetric
1. If Public key is used for encrypsion then private key is used for decryption
2. If private key is is used for encrypsion then public key is used for decryption.
3. It is more secure than Syemmetric

Why are these words not acceptable?

Following up from another question regarding the frustrating password validation, you answered back that these following words were not acceptable in one's password:
1234
4321
qwert
test
skype
myspace
password
abc123
123abc
abcdef
iloveyou
letmein
ebay
paypal
I understand that it'd be a problem if someone used one of those alone without any prefix or suffix with it, but WHY are you blocking it altogether? Why not allow it at least in middle of a cryptic word, like !@#$skype**&& , or ()()skype<><> ?
It seems your password validation rules just check for an occurance of those words (some of which are questionable as to why it's blocked in the first place) anywhere in the string.
Why are you making it hard for your users to come up with a password they can remember?Pretty much every other services (gmail, facebook, twitter, etc.) are equally as important and used (if not more important/used than Skype, on a daily basis) and don't enforce as much password rules and blocked words.
It would be nice to see Skype go in the direction of 2-step verification like Gmail has.
Use a simple password, bind a Cell-Phone number to it, get your temporary code via txt-message (if it's your first time on that computer / non-cached in browser), Simple!

SnippetPreview$.htm - Why are these not being deleted?

I have the following files in my project folder:
SnippetPreview$.htm
SnippetPreview1$.htm
SnippetPreview2$.htm
SnippetPreview3$.htm
SnippetPreview4$.htm
I noticed them because they are not in Visual SourceSafe so they appear when I go to add files to VSS when I create new snippets. They contain the text of snippets I've created.
I know they are harmless, but why are they not being automatically deleted from RH when no longer needed?
Is this a setting or preference I can set?

Sometimes temporary files are left behind. These are just files created on previewing a snippet and like any other temporary files are not deleted. Just delete them.

Why are modifier key symbol descriptions not in the built-in OS X help file?

Forgive me if I missed it but I tried searching:
Shortcut keys
modifiers
modifier keys
keyboard shortcuts
shortcut symbols
modifier symbols
etc...
And could not see the following information in the built-in OS X help file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343
"Here are the modifier key symbols you can see in Mac OS X menus:
(Command key) - On some Apple keyboards, this key also has an Apple logo ()
(Control key)
(Option key) - "Alt" may also appear on this key
(Shift key)
(Caps Lock) - Toggles Caps Lock on or off
fn (Function key)"
I googled this and got the information straight away, but Im baffled as to why I dont see this in the help file. I would have thought this a very simple thing to include.

Because OS X is the same and the hardware is different, so one set of rules doens't apply to all hardware or to future changes Apple would like to make.
There would be tons of complains most likely.

Why are these protected- finalize() & clone()

Why are the methods finalize() and clone() declared as protected in Object class when any class that we write extends java.lang.Object? I mean what design considerations made them being declared as protected?

Object.clone() is protected so that it cannot be called unless the person writing the code intends it to be cloned.
In other words to make a class cloneable one must over-ride Object.clone() with a public method that does the cloning. In this way the method can only be called if an implementation of the mehtod has been coded.
Convinced this is poorly explained so reply if you don't get it!
Cheers,

Why are names in iMessages on mac highlighted in red

Why are the contact names highlighted in RED on my mac iMessage

The names on iMessage are highlighted in red because that phone number is not registered with iMessage. Either they don't have an iPhone, or they haven't set up iMessage.

Why are these files showing? and how do i get rid/hide them?

can anyone tell me a fix to hide these greyed/faded out files and folders? they are littered around EVERYWHERE on my mac, even in my external hard drive. Also, why is there a file called .DS_Store on my desktop? i've tried putting it in the trash and emptying it but it just appears again! thanks in advance.

1. Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.
2. To store the metadata associated with items on the desktop.

Why are these problems starting to appear on OS 10.6.8?

Downloads and app updates hang for several seconds a couple of kb's short before finally completing.
Occasionally clicking on a bookmark, even repeatedly, fails to open the page.
When clicking back to a previous page I often get a message stating that the browser can't find the server. Clicking the "Try Again" button or clicking the page's bookmark fails to resolve the problem.
These problems occur no matter which of my five browsers i use so the problem must be in the system. Disk Utility, Disk Warrior and all my monitoring devices say everything "seems" to be ok.
What could the problem be?

It's rather difficult to diagnosis the issue, could be your machine, the router, the network or the ISP.
We can take some harmless procedures on your machine.
First backup your files off the machine to a regular storage drive (not TimeMachine or TimeCapsule) and disconnect this drive.
Next stick in the 10.6 disk that came with your computer (or upgrade) and reboot the machine holding the c key down, now simply install 10.6, will just overwrite OS X and bundled programs.
Reboot, log in and immediatly update to 10.6.8 under the Appel Menu>Software update, that will bring OS X and bundled programs current with your files and security updates.
What that did was basically kick any crap out of OS X itself (not users or applications) and make sure OS X itself is fine.
Next you may have to reinstall certain programs that place "hooks" into OS X, make sure they are updated to work with 10.6.8.
If your still having problems, it could be confined to your User, create another one in System Preferences, log into it and try things out again. If things are running normal there, you might decide to just use the "Users"/Shared folder to transfer your personal data to the new user, eventually deleting the old user. You need to have enough space on the drive to do this, preferable a external drive for transfer would be a better choice.
Lastly, if your problems return, it could be a program your running or installed. Or it could be a issue with your network.
Some ISP's are testing out IPv6, or are having DNS issues. Only time and using other networks can tell if this is the issue.
Another possibility is your WiFI has been compromised, it's either got a open, weak standard or weak password and someone is hogging your bandwidth where your not getting any.
Only WPA2 (AES) with a 20+ random character, letter, number, symbol, case password for both the Admin (kept off all machines) and a Guest Internet access password is strong enough to defeat these new "bot net based" and "GPU based" router cracking malware.
Another possibility is your router needs a firmware update. If it's older G, it's likely not going to get one as they all want you to buy N routers now.
The only thing I can suggest is try to develop a plan to narrow down the culprit, sometimes it's a loose cable that a tree branch fell and hit, slightly pulling the coax out of the connector someplace, analog TV connects fine, but then the Internet keeps dropping out.
You might have to install 10.6 on a external GUID OS X Extended (J) drive, hold option boot from it and see if the problems continue or not, if it's a hard drive issue.
Really hard to narrow something like this down, you just have to play detective and narrow down the possibilities.

Why are these fonts auto activating?

I've just updated to Tiger 10.4.8. One day later I install CS2 (previously had CS).
I use FontAgent Pro. Now, whenever I open Safari or any CS2 app. (just the app, not an actual document) a bunch of fonts are auto activated which I don't want to be activated, and as far as I know don't need to be activated. They are Devangari MT, Geeza Pro, Gujarati MT, Gurmukhi MT, Hirangino Kaku Gothic Pro, LiHei Pro, STHeiti, Times, and Photoshop also auto activates Osaka.
Can anyone throw any light on this? I've posted in the Adobe forum (as not really sure if it's a mac thing or an adobe thing) but had no answers. Thanks

Hi Kathydate,
It doesn't matter what manager a person may be using. If any of the Fonts folders have something in them, they will be active. Check these folders for the fonts.
/System/Library/Fonts/
/Library/Fonts/
~/Library/Fonts/ (the tilde means your home account)
The Adobe apps have their own folder at:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/
If there are any fonts in that folder you want to remove, do not remove the folder "Reqrd" or any of the items in it. The Adobe apps need those fonts to operate.
For more details on font locations and which you can remove, see my article, Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther.

Why are these placed images blurry??

I created an image in Photoshop that has: resolution 72 pix/in, 600 px by 800 px (about the average screen size of ereaders)
This is what the image looks like on Photoshop at 100% zoom: http://i.imgur.com/0dNU2lU.png
When I Place the jpg image in Indesign, it looks blurry and pixelated: like this
I looked on other similar threads from google, but it seems those people hadn't been using the correct resolution of 72 dpi. But my images in Photoshop ARE at 72 dpi. Is there anything else you would recommend to do? I would really appreciate any help!
Also, if it helps:
I'm working on an epub document with these settings: screenshot
This is what the frame fitting options window looks like when I select the image on Indesign: http://i.imgur.com/WqRxAaS.png

First off, for text like that youreally should just build the page in ID.
But to get the best preview, and that's what it it is, a preview, not the acutal pixels as you see in an editor like photoshop, use View > Display Performance > High Quality Display.

Why are certain keys disabled when I run Flash Player?

I am building a resource for my students which allows text entry into a text input text field. When I try to type the answer a number of keys are disabled. I have tried disabling keyboard shortcuts in the Flash editor. I have then tried closing the program and just running it in the stand alone Flash Player. The list of keys that do not work are given below.
The keys that do not work are 5,6,8,9,0,P,J,K,B, and X. I have not tested other alphanumeric characters.
the Flash Player version is version 9.
I am using Adobe Flash 5 at home but save as version 4 for use in school. I am running ActionScript 2.

I am not detecting any keys. My Flash file is the start of a simple quiz. ans1 (in the code below) is a text box instance. The actionscript compares what is typed in with a number of given answers. The trouble is if I make questions that need any of the keyboard keys that do not work then the anser cannot be inputted. Thsiis my problem.
Code given below:
Q1.onRelease = function() {//Q1 carries out this function when
                            //the mouse is released Q1 is hte button named and is assigned this script
    trace(ans1.text); //ans1 is the variable name for the data entry box. The trace
                        //method traces ans1 text entered in the output window
    if(ans1.text == "-1" || ans1.text == "minus 1" ||
       ans1.text == "Minus 1" || ans1.text == "Minus one" ||
       ans1.text == "minus one") //checks the data entered into the box where ==
                                 //is equal to and || means OR
         _root.gotoAndStop(3) // if ans1 is equal to any ofthe above the playhead jumps to frame 3
                               // for the welcome message then closes correct condition
      } else {                  // else allows the playhead to jump to frame 4 with the
                                // incorrect answer
         _root.gotoAndStop(4)
      }                        // closes the incorrect condition
}                            // closes the script

Why are these classes equal? Loaded from different classloaders.

I thought that classes loaded from different classloaders were seen as different in the JVM? But this code prints true to every check:
try
     Class c = new URLClassLoader( new URL[] { new URL( "jar:file://home/tests/test.jar!/" ) } ).loadClass( "Test" );
     Class c2 = new URLClassLoader( new URL[] { new URL( "jar:file://home/tests/test.jar!/" ) } ).loadClass( "Test" );
     System.out.println( ( c == c2 ) );
     System.out.println( ( c.equals( c2 ) ) );
     System.out.println( ( c.getName().equals( c2.getName() ) ) );
catch (Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
}

The more unbelievable thing is that this:
System.out.println( ( c == c2 ) );prints "true". That shouldn't happen, and it's nothing to do with facts about classloaders. It shouldn't happen because "new" called twice should produce two different objects, no matter what kind of objects they are.
I didn't try your code because I would have had to spend a couple of minutes creating suitable jar files. But did you actually run that code? Or is it a reduction of some larger piece of code and you just assumed it would do what you said it does? Because I don't believe that.I actually ran the code and every line DID print out true. This is in Java 1.5.
I figured out why they're all true though - it's because the jar file was in the classpath, so the classes were loaded by a different classloader (the same one). When I put the jar out of the classpath, the statments printed out like this:
//false
System.out.println( ( c == c2 ) );
//false
System.out.println( ( c.equals( c2 ) ) );
//true
System.out.println( ( c.getName().equals( c2.getName() ) ) );I agree on the first one printing true but I seem to remember something about how they changed that rule in Java 1.5. I could be wrong but in c++, that would be a completely valid true statement (assuming your class implemented the "==" operator), so maybe they changed it to be in line with that?
