Fastest Way to Get to Internet
Okay, dumb question, but is there any faster way to get reasonable quality video to the Internet than MiniDV tape/capture?
I've got Trade Show **** coming up and I need to figure out the most efficient system from floor to publish. I've been using MiniDV off a Panasonic GS500 and assorted Sonys, captured to and edited on a MacBook Pro. I keep wondering if I go to a tapeless system does that really buy me anything?
Sadly, the little Flash cameras just don't cut it.
Be happy to buy new stuff if it works!
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

Welcome to the forum!
Take a look at the TriCaster (Pro, Studio or Broadcast models). You can use up to 6 cameras, 4 audio inputs, a quasi-VGA input, 2 channels of 'virtual VTR' and will record to it's own hard drive in full resolution as well as wmv format ... all while live streaming to the internet (push or pull). Also has graphics creation capabilities, live chroma keying (with several built-in live set templates) and outputs for additional recording devices, projectors ... and a host of other features.

Right now there is pretty much nothing on it, and I cant download basic things.Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later

What is the fastest way of getting data?
With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.

Fastest way to get a macbook pro retina
Okay, so I finally got my graduation money to buy the macbook pro I want. It's the low end pro, 2.3ghz with retina display. ($2200) I checked online and they say there is a 3-4 week before the item even gets shipped. I also tried calling me local apple store twice and got 2 different responses, the first one said they got a shipment earlier today but they quickly sold out nearly an hour later, and the second specialist told me I should just order it online.
So my question is, what would be the fastest way to get the macbook pro? I start summer classes in early July and wish to have my macbook pro before then. As a matter of fact, I'm so excited about it that I want it now.Hey Shadow...I know how you feel. Mine will be here first week of July. My local Apple store had some today. They also had some last Friday. You have to call everyday....once in the morning and then in the afternoon. If you do this, you will likely catch them with a few from day to day.
I would have canceled my shipment (Apple makes this easy on their site) and picked up one in the store today. However, the one in the store was the $2700. I ordered the $2200 with the 16gb ram b/c I do music and video editing....so I stuck with my online order.
Is this your first Mac? Depending on what you need it for, you may get more "bang" for the buck with a non-retina version.
Oh well...either way...hold that Grad money tight until you get what you want. My Pro Retina will be a 50th Birthday present......so I know how you feel !
Good luck.
Edit: Don't forget the education purchase....you get some off and a $100 apple card. -
Nokia 1020 - any way to get an internet connection...
There doesn't seem to be any way to get networking via BT.
As a possibly separate issue, I can connect to my Nokia 808 over BT and they pair up OK, but the 1020 doesn't see any network, dial-up or any other service like that in the 808.
Every windows laptop and even a win8.0 Lenovo tablet can connect to the 808 over BT, and all but win8.x devices can also do it over wifi (Joikuspot). Why can't the win8.1 Nokia phone do this?In that case, what methods *are* available on the 1020 for getting an internet connection, other than using
- built-in GSM/3G/4G, or
- built-in WIFI (infrastructure mode only)
Can one do it via USB?
Why is adhoc WIFI or bluetooth insecure, for a personal temporary internet connection, from another device, used typically while travelling and used to make sure that roaming costs are contained within the one device on which there is a decent roaming data package?
Currently the only way I see is a 3G-WIFI modem (e.g. the E585) with a locally puchased data SIM inside it, but such deals are available only in some countries in Europe. They also tend to be really difficult to purchase e.g. in Greece you spend an hour or two in a phone shop, proving your identity with a passport and other documents.
Was this done because the networks (who own the phone shops) insisted on it, as a condition of carrying the phone in their shops? -
Fastest way to get libreoffice betas on archlinux?
hi,
I noticed that the libreoffice 3.6 series will have a feature that would enormously simplify some work i have to do. So my question is, assuming that i don't want to compile the whole libreoffice, what's the fastest way to instal libreoffice 3.6 betas on archlinux?
Is there some unstable repository that i'm not aware of? Or a way to install deb or rpm packages? Or anything I completely ignore?
thanksI may be missing something, but aren't a lot of these suggestions ignoring the OP's main question: is there somewhere to get it WITHOUT compiling from source. All these options would require compiling. That said, the OP probably should do his own search. Here are a couple of freebies:
You could check through the unofficial repos to see if any of them have it.
Otherwise it is possible to convert a deb and/or rpm. See here for an example. -

Fastest way to get data from Multiple lists across multiple site collections
HI
I need to get data from multiple lists which spread across 20 site collections and need to show it as list view.
I have searched on internet about this and got some info like options would be to use search core APIs or BCS . I can't use search because I want real time data. Not sure of any other ways.
if anybody can provide ideas it would be help.Might LINQ be an option for you? Using
LINQPad and the
SharePoint Connector, you should be able to write a query that'll retrieve this data, from which you can tabulate it. I'm not sure how you'd be able to automate this any further so that it's then imported in as list.
For something more specific, I used a third party tool called the
Lightning Tools Lightning Conductor, which is essence a powerful content roll-up tool. In one of my solutions, I created a calculated column that gave an order / ranking on each item, so that when lists were combined, they'd still have some form of
order. The web part is also fairly customisable and has always proven a useful tool.
Hope that helps.

What's the fastest way to get a broken phone replaced?
Summary:
What a joke. Clearly broken iPhone, but when I get to the store, no one will help me. I have to make an appointment with a "Genius" and come back later. In the meantime, no phone for me.
Anyone know the secret code to get timely help with a broken iPhone?
Details:
iPhone crashed yesterday around 5:00. Wouldn't go past Apple logo. Using the recovery mode, I have:
- Restored using my backup.
- Deleted my backup and restored to a "new phone".
- Re-downloaded and re-installed iTunes, deleted my backup, and restored to a new phone.
- Uninstalled iTunes, deleted all ipsw files, redownloaded and reinstalled iTunes and restored to a "new phone"
After each of these, the situation is the same. The phone works (albeit very slowly and unevenly) until I turn it off (off off, not standby). When I turn it back on, stuck at the apple logo again.
So now I sit at the apple store, hoping someone will miss their appointment and I can sneak in off the standby list. What a joke. I'm definitely going to have to swing by the at&t store and see about switching to a phone that has adequate support when it breaks. I love the iPhone interface, but with a complete meltdown in the first 6 weeks of ownership and the long wait to see someone to get it replaced, it's just not reliable enough as a phone (not to mention the fact that the 3G really isn't ready for primetime). Sigh.Tamara wrote:
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ . You can also do it in store on any of the Macs there. It beats sitting around hopping a slot will open up.
I did both - I scheduled the earliest available appointment, but it was hours away and I needed my phone, so I tried waiting for a hour or so as well.

See my answer to your last post.
Are you some sort of VIP that I don't know about? Why should you get to just walk in and have your problem solved when others made a Genius Bar appointment and showed up for it.
I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I think anyone with a broken phone should be able to get immediate assistance. I wasn't looking for training in how to use my phone, or assistance with some obscure functionality - the freaking thing wouldn't turn all the way on and couldn't be used for it's primary purpose, that of a mobile phone.
Tenacious MC wrote:
I suppose you do the same thing when walking into a doctor's office without making an appointment and expect him to see you about your cholesterol being high? You'd go into an ER for an emergency like a broken arm but you're gonna have to wait in line just like everyone else unless it's a life-threatening condition.
See my response above. If my phone wasn't "feeling well", I could live with waiting to talk to someone. But my phone was in a persistent vegitative state and deserving of urgent care.
The one time I had a problem with my Motorola RAZR, I walked into an at&t store and the next available person helped me out (by replacing the nonfunctional phone). I didn't have to make an appointment with a special subset of the staff. I would expect Apple, the actual manufacturer (and, in my case, vendor) of the phone to at least meet the standard that at&t sets for phones they don't even manufacture.
And I hope for the sake for Apple's enterprise penetration plans that they don't share your misconception that this is just a matter of "hampering my lifestyle". It's a matter of interrupting mission critical infrastructure functionality. -
The best way to get wireless internet?
I have a new g5 but didnt know it doesnt come with aiport card. What adapter would work best to get signal from our linksys router in the house? thanks
Hello Michael,
I'm not sure what you mean by "a new G5". However, from all the information I have seen (and I've just done some online checking), all 17" PowerBooks came with an Airport Card.
Go to Applications/Utilities/System Profiler. Open that application and look under Network. It should tell you what type of card is there. However, it's always possible that the card is not working properly. That happened to me with this 15" PowerBook, and the card merely needed reseating.
If the card is broken, you may replace it. Make sure it is the right type of card. Read this Apple article on Airport cards in PowerBooks; also this one.
If you're not sure, Google with these terms: Replace "airport card" powerbook
That will bring up loads of relevant articles.
Good luck,
Martin

Hi
I am having big table "BT" around 5,00,000 records in a table. this table is having various columns
a, b,c,d,e,f,g .....etc
I am having following indexes on a table
1/ unique index a, b, c, d, e, f, g
2/ index a, b, c, d
3/ index a, b
4/ index a, o,p,q
5/ index r, s, t, u, v
I am doing count(*) on a table where e = < some condition > and g = dt
It is doing fast index full table scan. But it is taking more than 30 mins.
I can not activate parallel query option. Can it be done faster way ?
thanks & regards
PJPThe only index that contains both e and g is the first one and it's pretty wide. I agree with cd, you should try an index on g,e or e,g. remember, the order of columns in an index is a strategic decision so you need to consider things like the uniqueness of e and g. In general put the more unique one first. You also need to consider how often e and g are used in other queries. In general, the column referenced in the where cluse of the most queries should be placed first. The 2 general recommendations I mention sometimes contradict each other and that is where you need to make a judgement call

Fastest way to get iPod videos from EyeTV?
I've got an EyeTV 200 hooked up to my MacBook Pro to record TV shows for playback in iTunes and on a video iPod. Right now, I must record the show with the EyeTV, then convert the recording for the iPod. That extra step doubles the time needed to get an iPod-friendly show.
Can EyeTV record the content directly to an iPod-friendly format? I tried recording in mp4 format and then pulling from the EyeTV recording package just the mpg movie file. But neither QuickTime nor iTunes recognizes the file. VLC does, but that isn't the goal.
If EyeTV can't do this in one step, is there some other hardware/software combination that will? Elgato's Turbo.264 device seems to simply speed up conversion of already existing video files -- again a two-step process, albeit faster. It would be ideal if it could record and encode for the iPod at the same time.
Thanks!

How can I get Windows Internet explorer on my MacBook air?

Or install Parallels 7 and then you can run IE just like any other app from within OS X itself. That costs around $50 plus the Windows license though.
Personally I have created an IE9 RDP (remote) App on my terminal server at work and just run that. Looks like it is running on my Mac natively.
