Facebook notification - what does it do exactly?

Hi gang,
Amongst my Facebook "friends", I have many friends who I would like to direct to my iWeb blog when I update it, and others who I don't want to share the address.
How does iWeb's "Update my Facebook profile" function work? Does it publish the link to the iWeb site? Tough to test this function without living with the results, so I thought I would ask instead.
Cheers!

Seems to me also reading these forums that Apple users are quite happy to use Word and Excel rather than revolt. Fair or not?
Office for Mac has been highly praised and is the app that most others try to measure up to.
For my purposes the Appleworks Suite is still the best. It has a decent Word Processor, fantastic database app, very good spreadsheet app and drawing app, as well as a rudimentary presentation app... all for $79.00. Appleworks, despite getting old still works on all macs, including the Intel models. It is also one of the few Suite of apps that translate perfectly from OS X to OS 9. I have no problems trading files back and forth with my old machine.
For cheapskates like myself there is also OpenOffice, an open source office suite. It is quite decent and I am able to open Word, PowerPoint presentations and Excel files with ease. I keep this app on my hardrive just to open my colleagues files. If you prefer Office this is a free alternative. This suite requires the X11 environment to run.
IMO, the real champ in the iWork package is Keynote. Pages is a nice added benefit.

What does the Zoom exactly do?

Hallo,
I am just trying to find out the possibilities I have with Encore DVD 2.0. I am working with the german version, so please excuse me if I do not translate every label and every command correctly.
First goal is to produce a DVD showing some old paintings. The slideshow seems to be a good solution for that.
To bring in a little extra, the images should move at least a little bit. Therefore I'd like to use the panning and zooming capabilities of Encore DVD 2.0.
As far as I can see, the effects "pan" and "zoom" are done for the whole duration of a slide. If a slide is shown for 30 secs and has a zoom, the zoom will take 30 secs.
So if I want the image to not move for a while at the before or after the zoom, I have to insert extra slides without the zoom before and after the zoomed slide.
Lets say I insert a first slide, set its scaling to "scale and mask". Then I insert the same image as a second slide, same scaling, but with "zoom in". If I render this, the result is the image first stalling for the duration of the first slide, then getting zoomed. But it doesn't seem to be zoomed to 100% of the image (as if I would choose no scaling at all), its just zoomed to some amount.
Now if I want to add a third slide that is shows the image at the end of the zoom, I have to know how big it will be. Otherwise there will be a visible jump in size from the end of the second slide (the end of the zoom) to the third slide (still image of zoomed picture).
Does anybody know what the zoom exactly does? Is there a formula?
Best regards,
Christian Kirchhoff

What does it mean exactly when the file quarantine feature warns you about unsafe file types?

It says here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662 that "when you open a potentially unsafe file in Finder, Spotlight, or from the Dock, the file quarantine feature will warn you about unsafe file types. If you open a quarantined file, you will receive an alert asking, "Are you sure you want to open it?" You should click Cancel if you have any doubts about its safety."
Am I correct in thinking that when this ^ appears on the screen, it means the file you're trying to open is unsafe but not totally harmful to the Mac? Which means you can still open it and it won't be much of a problem?

If you know that you went to web site shown and downloaded the file shown at the date & time shown, then it's most probably exactly what you think it is. If a panel pops up for some software that should NOT have been downloaded -- as in a file that's part of the operating system -- then all sorts of alarms should go off. This is a classic technique for password grabbers -- you open something like Software Update and are completely expecting to have to type in the username and password of an account with Administrator priviledges, but if it is some nefarious program that you somehow downloaded and has substituted itself in the place of Software Update, then who knows where your password and username are going to get sent off to! If you got a panel like that and it said "Software Update" is an application downloaded from the internet. Or "Mail" is an application downloaded from the internet. Or "TextEdit". Big alarms!!!
This is why when you are downloading software you should type in urls directly, or click on them from a search page rather than some random link in an email/ad/etc. If I type get.adobe.com/flashplayer into the url bar on the browser then I know that I really went to adobe's web site and got the real flashplayer (unless something is REALLY wrong!). When you click on some link it might be going to anyplace at all -- including places that you don't want to go! This panel gives you one last chance to double-check that the file you are opening is what you think it is and it came from where you think it came from.

Damaged file notification - what does it mean and can it be fixed?

If InDesign CS3 crashes, and when re-opening the file, says it may be damaged, what might that mean? I can still open the file, work with it, save it, as if everything is OK. Might this be something I can find and fix?
Thanks,
Marcy

I didn't think the link was version-specific other than noting the arrival of .idml as the new format going forward. Indeed, it does work in CS3, and probably better, in my experiince, than .idml seems to work in CS5.
You must open the file to do the export, but that's all I would do with any file that offers you a warning -- immediately export, and don't overwrite the old file, just in case you find you need it again as a backup (if nothing else, you might be able to copy the text and paste into a new file, or export to RTF or something else somewhat useful instead of having to start from scratch). There is no way I know to predict when a file is going to crash and burn, but continuing to work with a file that tells you it might be damaged is kind of like driving your car and ignoring the smoke coming from under the hood.

GP: Display Collable Object, what does it do exactly?

Hi all,
does anyone remember what a Display Collable Object is good for? You can add it to an action (in addition to the Execution Callable Object).
So what is the purpose of the Display Collable Object?
Could it be, and that's my own guess, just any kind of CO you define, which will be performed when you return to the respective action, once you have finished it earlier?
And then, does it have access to any parameters in GP context?
I mean, if I use the same CO as Display CO and Execution CO and having them acccessing the same data, the display CO could serve as a history record of processed steps, right?
Thx
Xiaoi

Hi Xiaoi,
your suggestions are absolutely correct.
You should just take in mind, if you put the same CO, which you have attached in execute mode into the display mode and lets say it is a WebDynpro Comp. with process controls buttons (GP Interface), you will also see the buttons in the display mode (when returning to the executed step) and by pressing them, GP will through an error, because the object is already executed (=locked).

Salvatore

IPayment - What does it do, exactly?

If there's anyone out there using iPayment, please help. We're trying to get it set up, but are unsure if iPayment talks to the banks to process credit cards or if it goes through some sort of intermediary. It's very unclear to us when we read through the documentation.
We've been using POS Partner with our legacy system for credit card processing. We're not sure if we still need to use POS Partner or if iPayment will do everything POS Partner is already doing. If you have any links for more information I would appreciate it
Thank you
Heidi

iPayment requires another 3rd party piece of software to talk to the bank. We use verisign payflow pro. Payflowpro has recently been acquired by paypal.

What does this do exactly?

Hi,
I have this piece of code:
      // create a buffered text file stream
      BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
      // data and maintenance variables
      AirlineTicket[] data = new AirlineTicket[10];
      String dataString;
      String inSeat, inName;
      double inPrice;
      // cycle through each element of the array
      for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
         // read a line from the file
         dataString = inFile.readLine();
         // read and tokenise string
         StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(dataString, ":");
         // create instance from data tokens
         inSeat = tokens.nextToken();
         inName = tokens.nextToken();
         inPrice = Double.valueOf(tokens.nextToken()).doubleValue();
         String inOrigin = "";
         if (tokens.hasMoreTokens())inOrigin = tokens.nextToken();
         // put the data into data[i]
         data[i] = new AirlineTicket(inSeat, inName, inPrice);
      }and I'm wondering how this works. Does it put inSeat, inName, and inPrice in data? How on earth does it do that? How would you access the individual seat numbers, prices, and names through that?
Regards,
Platinum

Hi,
All it does is go through data at j, using this method to print out the seat, name, and price:
   // displayTicket(): display an airline ticket
   private static void displayTicket(AirlineTicket in)
      // create a currency formatter for Australian English
      NumberFormat cash = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en", "AU"));
      // display seat and name
      System.out.print(in.getSeat() + "\t" + in.getName() + "\t");
      // display costs
      System.out.println(cash.format(in.getExTaxCost()) + "\t" + cash.format(in.getIncTaxCost()));
   }It uses this code to go through each iteration of j:
               // run through array and print all data
               for (int i = 0; i < counter; i++)
                  AirlineTicket aTicket = data;
displayTicket(aTicket);
System.out.println();
I'm sorry I messed the code tag in that last post,
Platinum

When Metric's attribute CONFIG="TRUE", what does it mean exactly?

I am confused with the explanation in document <Oracle Enterprise Manager Extensibility 10g Release 4 (10.2.0.4) B40007-01> , it said 'CONFIG: This is a special designation for CONFIG metrics that are uploaded
differently by the EM framework.'. I mean what is the purpose when set CONFIG="TRUE"? For example, how could I understand the code below.
<Metric NAME="MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR" TYPE="RAW" CONFIG="TRUE">
<Display>
<Label NLSID="mmd_MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR">MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR</Label>
</Display>
<TableDescriptor TABLE_NAME="MGMT_EMX_MYSQL_DBVAR">

</ExecutionDescriptor>
</Metric>
Thanks,

Caroy,
Thank you for your reply!
I am a little confused right now. With your first reply, you said, CONFIG=TRUE used for configuration metrics in conjunction with the ECM framework and ECM is not supported with Management Plug-ins. I mean since EMC is not supported, then why there is an option to set CONFIG=TRUE? And besiede the way to collect data, what are the differences between configuration metrics and instance properties(both dynamic and state)?
The reason why I was wondering the metric with CONFIG=TRUE will not be displayed in EM console is becase I have a developed plug-in and metric "MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR" is not appeared in EM console. The file is as below. Would you please tell me why the metric doesn't appear in EM?
target metdata file:
<Metric NAME="MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR" TYPE="RAW" CONFIG="TRUE">
<Display>
<Label NLSID="mmd_MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR">MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR</Label>
</Display>
<TableDescriptor TABLE_NAME="MGMT_EMX_MYSQL_DBVAR">
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="Variable_name" COLUMN_NAME="VARIABLE_NAME" TYPE="STRING" IS_KEY="TRUE" />

What does INSERT do exactly ?

Hello DBAs experts,
Insert into toto values ( 1,2,3);
To simplify :
        1) LGWR write in current redolog
        2) DBWR write on datafile
        3) Oracle ( which process?) write on UNDO
That's right ?
and when the user execute "commit" what happen in addition to these steps ? update SCN in the header block containing this inserted row ? free undo ? how tell the redolog that this insert is committed ? ....
Many thanks in advance.

This is how I would explain when you do an insert. Any coments from expert/guru welcome to correct this.
1. When you insert LGWR writes into redo log buffer
2. DBWR update the block in datafile for this new record.
3. Undo record created to reverse this insert incase if need to rollback. Undo is a datafile therefore DBWR writes the undo datafile.
When you commit.
1. LGWR flush redo log buffer into current online redo log, to make the change permenant, otherwise if the instance crash the commited record not recoverable.
SCN for the block get updated. Undo will get freed base on the undo retention. When a transaction active there is transction table in the block have the information transaction ID (xid) and undo block address (UBA) for that transaction. so in the event of instance crash, oracle will replay the insert based on the information on redo. And if the transaction still active based on the transaction table in the block it will get rollbacked based on undo segment. in away redo it will simply replay all the statement and if the transaction was still active at the point of failure undo segment takes care the rollback.

Rama.

Mafia Wars BETA What does BETA mean exactly?

found in mentioned w /regards to an add-on for firefox easy you tube video downloader.pls update to latest version 3.6 in sandbox if using Firefox 4 beta build Just wondering if the beta part whatever thet is was causing all the adobe flash crashes i'm having?

Jeff,
Haven't heard this one for some time. The beta version you have was a test version that Apple used in the past. Yours has expired, but you can download the Facetime for Mac Application at the APP store. It'll cost you 99cents plus any applicable sales tax.

What does Resource proxying exactly mean?

Hi,
When a resource is eg behind a firewall you'll need to do resource proxying so all resources go through the ppe/portal instead of direct client - resource communication. So the client browser only communicates with the portal server and not with the server where the resources reside. Is this correct?
So if I would use
<IMG SRC="<%= UrlUtils.constructResourceURL(portletRequest, HttpPortletRendererUtil.absoluteLink(request, "images/winningnumbers.gif"))>
the image location for the client browser will be pointing to the portal server and not the actual server location where the images reside, because it is being proxied?
Is my thought about it correct? And it wouldn't matter if the resource is an image or a servlet?

I agree with Soul, when I worked in Apple Sales Support the "Prepared for Shipment" indicates that the order has been fulfilled. The box (with your computer) has moved from the warehouse into the shipping phase. Specifically where in the shipping phase is unknown. The "processing" indicates that the order has not yet been fulfilled but that the order has been received and queued for fulfillment.
Historically, the "processing" indicates that the order can still be cancelled or modified. The "prepared for shipment" is past the point of no return.
This was circa '09 when I was there, I suspect not THAT much has changed in 3 years for reporting purposes.

What does Inline object "Y offset" mean exactly?

Hi everyone,
I am confused about inline object y offset. What does it mean exactly? I looked it up on adobe help, here is what it says there.
Inline
Aligns the anchored object with the baseline of the insertion point. You can adjust the Y Offset to position the object above or below the baseline. This is the default type of anchored object. In earlier versions of InDesign, these objects were called inline graphics.
So.. is the baseline at the insertion point? If the y offset is a negative number, does that mean the baseline move up? How come the object doesn't move ? like the adobe help say, "adjust the y offset to position the object above or below the baseline", doesn't it mean the baseline should stay and object moves accordingly?
Thanks a lot!

The behavior of inlines is also tied to the leadingof the line in which they are located. When the line has autoleading specified, the inline starts withthe bottom edge on the baseline, and the leading for the entire line is adjusted to the height of the inline object. Changing the y offset in such cases would appear to make the inline object appear stationary while shifting the baseline up or down.Waht is happening is the "auto" amount of leading is being adjusted to compensate for the shift.
If the line in which the object is inserted uses a fixed leading, that leading is honored, and the inline object may cover part of the text above. Changing the offset will make the boject appear to move up or down realtive to the baseline, which will remain fixed by the assigned leading.

What does it mean that our files must be downloaded by January 2015? Will our files still be accessible after this date or will they be deleted?

Hi Everyone!
I'm a bit new to the whole PDF thing and am thrilled to share that I finally figured out how to use this cool feature! Well sort of! I noticed that there is a large red button that says all files will be deleted on January 6th. What does that mean exactly? Will any files that we have stored here simply vanish? I have a PDF file that I published in my 'workspace' that's linked to my business website. Will the link to my PDF file just disappear on January 6th? Thanks for any insights that you can share!
Blessings,
Lori

Adobe Workspaces is being retired at the beginning of 2005. For more information, see FAQ: Adobe Workspaces retired.
Yes, links to any files your have stored on Workspaces will not work after January 6, 2015.

Rookie question: what does "delegate" mean?

in api explanation, it is sometimes mentioned that, 'A currently delegates to B",
like "DefaultListModel" delegates to "Vector", what does it mean exactly? Forgive me, my English is really bad.
is it saying that wherever A was previously used, use B instead now?
thanks

Basically when a request is made to Object A (for example a method is called), Object A forwards the request to Object B (the delegate). Object B then does some work to handle the request.
public class A {
private B delegate = new B();
public int getSize() {
return B.size();
}This is actually not "true" delegation, rather "forwarding" since true delegation would require A to be forwarded to B as well as the request.
