For the good people of this forum

A great thanks to the good people of this forum. I got landed my dream job as a Java Developer today and wish to thank all the people in here which helped me out lots of times.
Thanks again

Man you are pessimistic, you are so going to die
young.Yeah, I am pessimistic you got that right. Butwhen
one has been in the software industry as long as I
have (a loooooong time), Oh, so it's already too late for the "die young" part?Depends on what "young" is defined as (it's subjective).
Without disclosing my actual age (prefer to remain as anonymous as I can), I should still have many years still ahead of me.

  • For the IT people reading this...lack of simplicity?

    I've been involved in IT consulting for the last several years spending a lot of time switching many users over from Windows. I just spent the last week getting my family on iChat AV with iSights on PBG4's and built-in iSights on the new MB/MBPros. Some of us are at locations with regular cable modems and an AX - what I would consider an average, simple setup.
    Even as a tech-oriented person, I found it incredibly annoying to deal with all the issues with getting video chat to work. Port forwarding or DMZ hosting? The average user should NOT have to do that to get iChat to work. I can understand having to deal with technical issues involving a corporate firewall - but this should all work out of the box on your typical AX or linksys router. Why not send all the information over port 80? Also - if port forwarding is necessary, that allows ONLY ONE computer behind each router to use iChat AV. The avg. home is going to have more than one mac - but if you activate port forwarding or DMZ hosting, then you limit iChat Video to one computer.
    Someone please explain the insane logic behind all this...

    After further reading, the simple question becomes:
    Why doesn't Apple support UPnP on their Airport family of devices? It seems the UPnP technology would solve most issues on this forum - why not offer it?

  • Reporting annoying issues for the entire Microsoft website (MSDN, forums, all)

    Is there any place where I can report bugs with how the Microsoft web sites behave? I can only find forums and "Microsoft Answers" categories about single products that Microsoft makes, but nothing about the infrastructure itself.
    For about two weeks now, I am required to log into my account every few hours whenever I access any Microsoft website. This includes MSDN help content, forums, or other resources. I need to login after opening the website through F1 help in Visual Studio
    as well as accessing a microsoft.com link from anywhere else like a web search or a direct link from web or an application.
    Auto-complete does not work either. My browser (Firefox) does save the password, but it never fills it into the form. Other people have already noticed that
    Microsoft applies some dirty tricks here. And even if the login is remembers for a moment, it's slow as hell. It takes a second or two to load the login.live.com page (which is not what I wanted to see), then it sits there for some more seconds before going
    anywhere. Other login services like Google or StackOverflow manage to log me in all within one second and most of the time I don't even see it.
    And then there's still that insecure SSL-to-non-SSL-submit warning that only occurs in other browsers then IE. Has anybody cared about that in the last couple years?! I'm not getting it now, probably because I'm not logged in anymore. It all slowly falls
    apart, piece by piece. Next step is probably losing my data or not loading it at all.
    THIS – IS – ANNOYING! And it really makes me feel like I don't want to use Microsoft products anymore (because even good desktop applications are connected to that silly website). I have opened a
    Microsoft Connect ticket for a part of this issue (it's grown bigger since then), but this ticket is totally ignored. If microsoft.com went down, they'd certainly care within minutes or hours. This bug is not even regarded in
    weeks!
    So do I have to write a postal letter to the president of the whole company or do they have support staff for that?! Do they have anybody who is capable of maintaining their website? It's really frustrating how Microsoft has a web presence that is worse
    than what our first-year trainees come up with. It's full of bugs and this is currently only the most relevant one. Do they even care about how the world sees them? Or is Microsoft currently preparing (and even failing) to move out of business?

    The brandings are fun. Here's this same thread in a bunch of flavors:

  • Unable to open PDF portfolio (Error Msg: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in...)

    I am having a problem opening an important PDF portfolio document using Adobe Reader (version 11.0.02) for Mac (Mountain Lion version 10.8.3).
    When I attempt to open the file, I come up with the error message: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later", and I am unable to view the document. This is becoming very frustrating, as I am attempting to open the document with the new version of Adobe Reader (which I have downloaded multiple times).
    If anyone has a solution for this problem that would be very helpful!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. No I'm not using iPad, I have a MacBookPro. I just wasn't sure which forum was best to post this question in.
    I have flash but Adobe still won't open my documents.
    Anyway, thanks for your help.

  • Not able to get RZ points for the Good Maintenance Reward.....

    Tried geek squad support they are telling me the promotion no longer exists. They also said the only eligible amount is the phone purchase with the first payment of the plan. I would say the eligible amount is the entire cost of the plan. 14.99 x 24 months. Any thoughts?

    Good morning Slownas1, and welcome to the Best Buy forum!
    The Good Maintenance Reward is no longer offered with the purchase of a Geek Squad Protection plan; however, it is a benefit we should still be able to honor as long as the protection plan in-question was eligible and qualifies.  A standard protection plan would need to have been purchased between 9/14/2008 - 7/14/2012 to be eligible and the plan could not have been utilized for any services to be eligible.  If both of those terms are met, then a request for the benefit would need to be made within 90 days of the plan officially expiring.
    Based on the information you provided in your post, it appears the protection plan in-question may have been a monthly plan, possibly for a mobile phone.  Is that correct?  If so, then it would not be eligible for the Good Maintenance Reward because mobile plans were not included.  The protection plan would need to have been paid in full at the time of purchase.
    If you have any additional questions about the Good Maintenance Reward, please feel free to send me a private message and I will see what I can do to help.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button located within my signature.

  • The more i read this forum the less i want an Iphone!

    From reading this forum it is clear that the Iphone is absolutely riddled with problems. I would really love one but they seem to be so dodgy. Every 5 minutes there is a new page of people having problems with their Iphone!
    Should i stick with my Nokia?

    The iPhone is not riddled with problem.
    What you have to keep in mind is that of the people who come here 95% of them are having an issue.
    The best analogy I ever heard was that this is an iPhone hospital. 90% of the people/phones are sick 5% are here to help/doctors and 5% are visitors. You wouldn't walk into a hospital and think that 90% of the population was sick, would you? Of course not, because it wouldn't be a representative sample.
    The vast majority of iPhone users are having a pleasant, problem free experience and thus never set foot in this forum. My iPhone works great with no issues, making me one of the "doctors."
    Take this forum seriously but with a grain of salt

  • I recently moved my Aperture Library file to an external hard drive.  Can I now create a vault to be saved on my Time Capsule for the Aperture library on this external hard drive?

    I recently moved my Aperture Library file to an external hard drive.  Can I now create a vault to be saved on my Time Capsule for the Aperture library on this external hard drive?

    One thing to bear in mind, if you are using Time Machine on your Time Capsule and have it set so the TM backup includes your external drive, you will effectively be backing up your Aperture library twice on the same drive, once with Time Machine and once with the vault. This isn't a problem unless you start to run out of space.
    Another thing to note, vaults on network drives used to be flaky (i.e. not really supported) and required workarounds to be able to use them. I'm not sure if this has changed, but I just managed to create a vault on my TC ok.

  • For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Read

    Hi,
    For the first time I am aware of a user has received a PDF that cannot be opened in Preview.
    The pdf opens to a splash screen showing, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." There is a large button showing " Get Adobe Reader 9"
    It is a 15Mb document but we cannot get beyond the splash screen in Preview so I have had to install Reader 9 for the user.
    Turns out the document is a very basic slideshow. It seems this is a new (to me) format of PDF which forces users to install Reader.
    Is there any way these image portfolios can be opened within Preview so I don't have to install Adobe Reader bloatware again?
    Thanks,
    b .

    Is there any way these image portfolios can be opened within Preview so I don't have to install Adobe Reader bloatware again?
    I doubt it, but perhaps others have better info...
    You can ask Apple to expand Preview's capabilities here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Personally I have never found Preview to be a complete substitute for Adobe Reader and always have both on my machine to deal with pdfs, which have a large number of possible variations in terms of version, features, and encodings.

  • Some elements of downloaded PDF not showing (Error: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio...")

    I'm on a PC attempting to view a downloaded PDF. It's an application so the document is generated by our online system and aggregates info from the applicant as well as documents they uploaded. I can see most of the final product but the document uploaded by the applicant gives the error "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I downloaded the latest Reader (DC) and when I searched to download the latest Flash Player I got a message that it should be up-to-date since I use Chrome. I've seen other folks having this problem; any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your response! The document appears the same either way. I downloaded the file and have opened it with both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

    You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.
