Hi:
I appreciate the advice that I got regarding drive size to purchase and use with Time machine.
The next question relates to a Lacie 500 GB external drive that has eSATA 1.5Gbits as well as Firewire 800, 400 and USB 2.0. This drive is currently available.
LAcie plans to release a drive in early February that has eSATA 3.0Gbits along with other connection types.
Its a little more expensive.
Now, the only way to use an eSATA connection with a MBP is to buy an express card adapter at....I'm guessing here....around $50-$60).
The question is whether the extra expense is justified. I plan to dedicate this drive to Time Machine Backups for the foreseeable future.
Thanks,
Michael Stryker

Adding an adapter adds one more thing to the mix that can break. After the initial back up Time Machine backups go quite quickly and I'm using firewire 400. If I were in your shoes I would opt for the proven, reliable solution.

Follow up to recent post re. no Linux WiFi driver in Mepis 8. Get Mandriva One 2009!

Attention:
More follow up on Mandriva 2009.0 & 2009.1 & Mepis 8 re. Wlan0 working or not.
Yes, the mandriva Flash does connect via Wlan0; Mepis LiveCD does not, even with continued editing/tweeking.
I installed Mandriva 2009.1 "Spring" after partitioning my SL500 (dual boot to Viata).
All hardware works with no editing.
I do not recommend buying the Flash drive: too expensive, dinky 8GB, so mostly a "fun toy" to imnpress the
curious.
I highly recommend installing Mandriva as it is allot faster, etc. that LiveCD or Flash.
================================================================================
I've not liked Ubuntu as it is too different from Windows for destop KDE.
Mandriva One 2009 is terrific! Easy with no learning curve from Vista or Xp.
The download is free or u can buy it on CD for $7.00 from Mandriva or less elsewhere. Live CD to try it out,
which I did after giving up on Mepis 8 (which I thought was better than Mandriva).
I bought the new Mandriva 8MB USB drive with this OS installed.
Now I can boot & run Linux without partitioning the HD, which can be difficult.
I've done that on a desktop, but when u want to move onto another Linux OS,
then u may have to perform a simple "repair" to the Registry for no further
notice of the absent Linux OS.,
but what if...?
Linux transforms so fast that I prefer not to partition & install; as I may want to try another.
The Mandriva Flash 2009 costs $55.00 plus the hefty $29. shipping from Paris, Fr.
All the Vista laptop whinners will be impressed with this Linux OS, no nag updates & faster without the Lenovo huge
toolbox/ Thinkvantage suite.(more like a pickup truck loaded).
If u ask questions later, I'll try to answer, when I run the USB OS.
Best computing to you,
Jim

Just to say there ARE lots of Apps on BlackBerry World, so potential BB purchasers should not let that stop them, and some very good free ones, excellent -- BlackBerry Travel is really good, and OsmAnd maps are fabulous, big to download, but when you get it you'll be amazed. Just download a provincial or smaller map to start, because they are huge files and very detailed, but lots of trails and paths are on them... good for park trails and such.

Follow up to recent posts regarding rendering problems

I've read all posts to Berrett below but can't seem to get my "Flip Video" camcorder (uses MPEG-4AVI) video into FCE without the rendering problem. I've tried to convert in two ways. Using MPEG Streamclip I transferred my video to my desktop using the "export to DV" command. It appears on desktop with a .DV suffix I then imported into browser. After editing in the viewer and trying to insert edit in canvas I get the message " "..clip does not match sequence settings..." I then click yes to change sequence settings and the clip moves to timeline. The video plays but the audio has to be rendered.
Next, I tried converting using the export to quicktime command in Streamclip with sound uncompressed and setting to DV-NTSC. When I insert into FCE and insert edit I get the sound but the picture has to be rendered. What am I doing wrong?
I've been working on this all day and am getting very depressed. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks but I think I tried that without success. I must have a setting somewhere wrong. My audio is fine but I still have to render my video. Using Streamclip to convert to quicktime here are the setting I used in the Movie Exporter dialog box.
Compression: Apple Motion JPEG A
Sound: uncompressed
frame size 720x480 (DV-NTSC)
In FCE my easy setup is
Format: NTSC
Use: DV-NTSC
Help.

The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST

Hi,
When trying with Postman sending a REST call to Azure Storage Queues I get:
The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST.
The code I have for creating the Authorization Header:
var accountName = "my_account";
string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["my_access_key"];
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string formattedDate = String.Format("{0:r}", dt);
var canonicalizedHeaders = "x-ms-date:" + formattedDate + "\n" + "x-ms-version:2009-09-19" + "\n" ;
var canonicalizedResource = "/my_account/myqueue/messages";
var stringToSign = String.Format("POST,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n{0}{1}", canonicalizedHeaders, canonicalizedResource);
stringToSign = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(stringToSign);
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
var signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToSign)));
var authorizationHeader = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "SharedKey {0}:{1}", accountName, signature);
return authorizationHeader;
Anyone any idea what I'm missing/doing wrong?
Additional question: do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?
Thanks.

One issue is with this line of code:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
Please use the following:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Convert.FromBase64String(key));
and that should take care of the problem.
Regarding your question, "do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?"
With your current approach, the answer is yes. What you can do is create a Shared Access Signature on the queue which will be valid for certain duration and then use that for posting messages to a queue using simple HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse.
Hope this helps.

Discussions most recently posted in dont move to the top?

Hi,
Again here to ask if anyone else is seeing this or is it just me?
The issue basicly seems to be that someone has answered to a thread they started -> I answered -> they answered. Yet the discussion doesnt come to top the first page. This thread in questions is still located at the third page.
See anything with the following picture?
The post I am referring to is the third from the bottom. All the previous discussions havent had any posts in 6 days. Yet this one has one reply from 16min ago and still lurks at the 3rd page of the Firewall Discussion section.
Also, I cant see any automatic notification email from the CSC in my work mail at the moment regarding this post.

Report on most recent posting date

Hi experts,
My report needs to show the fields profit center and its posting date.posting date should have a selection variable for the user to enter a key date.The report should show only the last posting date for every profit center before the key date.
my doubt is that the data in the infoprovider should be compared to get the last posting date. is it possible to read the data and get the recent posting date in the customer exit for the variable on posting date.
Please suggest the possible ways of doing this.

Hi Krishna,
The recent posting date for the profit centre can not be stored as a transaction data in the cube and it can not be derived in the customer exit.
You have to add a date field as the master data attribute of profit centre and populate that from the transaction cube data to get last posting date for each profit centre.
You can then show is as the nav attaribute of profit centre in the report.
Thanks,
Krishnan

I recently posted a question via the apple support medium. I was unable to respond to the utterly pointless and unhelpful response that I received. Anyone else having the same problem

I recently posted a question in the apple forums and received a response that was less than helpful. Unfortunately, due to the options available to me. I was not able to respond to my respondent adequately enough to hope to receive a meaningful answer to my question. is this the norm with apple problems????

If you don't have the reply buttons in the screenshot you might have been timed out. If you started a reply copy it, refresh the page log back in. You get timed out every 30 minutes.

Help! my podcast will only show most 25 recent posts

I'm posting video podcasts (created with animoto) of seniors shot at our studio. The blogging program we are using to upload is set to keep all posts up with no limit or date expired. This same program shows that all posts are up. But when I get on iTunes, it only shows the most 25 recent posts. If we add more, the older ones go down. I contacted apple and they suggested this forum. Please help!!

How to see most recent posts per forum

Hi, all;
It seems to me that I'm not "getting" something about the organization of the forums. What I want to do is see the posts in each forum that I am interested in, most recent first. What I actually see when I go to each forum is "trending" discussions. When I go to Browse>Discussions, I can see that some of the most recent discussions aren't getting into the "Trending" category, but Browse>Discussions shows a jumbled mess of all forums.
I'd like to help these people, but I fear their questions are falling through the cracks, since they're not "trendy" enough for me to be able to see them. How can I see "recent" discussions instead of "trending" ones.
Regards;
Amy

How do I get these threads to open at the most recent post?

This is most annoying: every time I get an email notifying me that there's a new post in a thread I'm following, when I click on the link to go to that thread it sends me to the TOP of the thread and not to the post I was clicking about.
What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

Well, I tried it with your post, Klaus, and it seemed to work correctly. Maybe it's just me. When I see an invitation in the email to click on a link to REPLY to a message, I don't click on it, because I don't want to reply to that message. I just want to read it. I might THEN want to reply to it but I also might not. Maybe I'm just stupid that way.
In future, I'll pretend to myself that I actually want to REPLY to every post for which I receive a notification.
But each time I do that, I'll think about the cutlery drawer in the kitchen at Cupertino, and I'll wonder if all the knives in there are perfectly sharp.
Thanks, folks.

Xchange Rate type changed in the follow on document getting posted from MM

Hi,
There is an issue while the follow on document posts from MM module to FI module.
The rate of exchange captured is M-CL while creation of the Purchase order. On posting the MIGO/ MIRO, the exchange rate type is correct viz M_CL .
But when the follow on document in the FI module is generated, the Exchange rate type is changed to M.
Can any one please tell me as to what can be the possible issue and wht are the configuration details be checked in the system or whether there is any special configuration of the Exchange rate type maintenence at country level and at transaction code level.
Thanks in Advance.

I can't find a recent post on transferring mp3 to podcast.

I have searched but haven't found anything recent on how to move a mp3 (which is really a podcast) to podcast? Is it still possible? Thanks

It used to be really complicated, but possible as outlined in this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9086453#9086453
I remember, though, reading about this recently and there was mention newer iTunes (which I cannot run) have simplified this, probably through changing "kind" in the get info window for a track.
