Future of GNOME ... what's the big picture?

to all GNOME users:
this document you should know ... maybe you already do, but for the not-knowers:
Conclusion from the Gnome Users and Developers European Conference about some addons for gnome for future
http://www.gnome.org/~fherrera/bof-conclusions.pdf

Yeah, I do agree that KDE is getting a bit bloated, I really don't like integrated web browser and file manager(reminds me too much of winblows).  The problem generally is that not many people know a lot of the things that Gnome can do, like someone was completely amazed that I have a transparent bar running along the bottom of my screen with icons to launch apps.  I really hope 2.4 continues to provide a great desktop environment.

  • KCLP - can someone give me the big picture?

    In a project I have to review I stumbled into some log files displayed with Tx KCLP. It's some "external data transfer" logs.
    Unfortunately I miss the big picture and I did not find much on KCLP. Can someone give me a hint what's the big picture, e.g. what kind of applications use the KCLP logs.
    Thanks Frank

    I know KCLP is used by CO-PA to import external data via KEFC.
    THe bigger picture is
    - provide an import structure
    - define some transfer rules
    - post the data

  • Small picture inset in the big picture

    Why would the printer print a picture that has part of the picture set in the big picture?  On the page preview it doesn't show up but.  It has happened when printing a PDF and also when printing a bmp. file.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Bert

    What printer model?  What program are you printing from?

    To add to what others have said, the three prong plug allows the charger to be grounded, the two prong plug that can plug into the three prong cord assembly does not. There are situations (such as this) in which Apple advises grounding the power adapter to solve problems.

    A table used for layout also "validates" to HTML5 A widget such as
    Nivo Slider is comprised of markup, CSS, and JavaScript. Some more
    advanced sliders use HTML5 tags, such as canvas, built in the DOM, to
    provide functionality and refinement not possible with traditional
    DHTML, such as Nivo.
    None of this, however, has anything to do with HTML5 in the way it was
    presented.
    The original poster wanted to know if there was anything that integrates
    into Dreamweaver. I am totally bewildered that Adobe can clearly deduce
    that its market for Dreamweaver is designer-biased, yet the folks on
    this particular forum continuously recommend copy and paste free scripts.
    Dreamweaver would not be here, and you would not be here, if not for the
    core group of extension developers that worked to make it a popular
    program and a (formerly) thriving and resourceful community. If Nivo is
    a solution then it makes sense to recommend DMX Zone's Dreamweaver
    extension that integrates that functionality into Dreamweaver - as the
    original poster recommended.
    The answers typically given on this forum are, essentially,
    anti-Dreamweaver. It's really a shame that the Dreamweaver community has
    come to this. So, go ahead, folks, copy and paste that code into your
    $500 copy of Dreamweaver. I'll just keep scratching my head.

  • What about the big price-difference

    I want to upgrade/update My Photoshop & Premiere Elements.
    When I go to the Adobe-site and select the US-region, it costs 119,99 € (94,72 €), when I select the European (Belgian) region, it costs 126,99 €.
    Can someone explain the big difference.  I would understand if it was a boxed version (shipping cost) but it is the download-version.

    Adobe always maintains that the cost of doing business in Europe is higher than in the United States. For example promotion and marketing costs, local partners and offices, accounting and language differences. These do not permit the same economies of scale as in the US. Also, Adobe delivers products across Europe out of its EU headquarters in the Republic of Ireland which has a sales tax of 23%. Adobe also maintains that re-sellers are free to set their own prices.
    What is disappointing is that re-sellers appear to be no longer offering updates. For example Amazon is only offering the full version of PSE13/PRE13 whereas in the past it was offering the equivalent version 12 updates for 119.90 euros.

    If you can wait, prices often drop around the holiday period at Christmas and the black Friday sales around New Year.

  • Trying to understand the big picture

    Let me first say that I am not only new to Java but also to OOP.
    So, having said that, does anyone have any serious problem with the following two statements:
    1. Importing a class allows the use of certain behaviors which are not necessarily associated with any specific object.
    2. Extending a class allows the ability to manipulate the state or behavior of a specific object.
    If I have this right, what is the difference between inheriting a class and importing a class if there is no need of an "is a" relationship.

    1. Importing a class allows the use of certain
    behaviors which are not necessarily associated
    with any specific object.If by "import" you mean "using an import statement", then no. An import statement is just shorthand for typing out class names longhand - you never ned use one.
    "Behavious not associated with a specific object" is supplied by static members and methods in a class. For example, java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() allows you to get a toolkit without first having one.
    2. Extending a class allows the ability to manipulate
    the state or behavior of a specific object.No. If a method returns an object of type Foo and I create a new class Foo2 extends Foo, this has nothing to do with the specific object I got back. Extending classes allows you to create new object instances with different state or behaviour, with the bonus that any Foo2 object is allowed to be used anywhere a Foo object may be used.
    If I have this right, what is the difference between
    inheriting a class and importing a class if there is
    no need of an "is a" relationship.Apples and Oranges. I get the feeling that you are readibng about OOP without actually doing any programming. That's kind of like trying to learn to drive by readiong about it. Once you write code, it becomes obvious what the bits are for.

  • CRIO-9068 time synchronization and data timestamping - the Big Picture

    I'm working with a number of cRIO-9068 chassis that are distributed over a large physical area. I wish to timestamp data acquired be these chassis with microsecond resolution and relative accuracy. The various documents that I've run across hint at how this might be accomplished but none of them really describe the overall architecture for synchronization of chassis clocks over a network and acquisition of the local clocks for the purpose of data timestamping. Is there a document that addresses this topic?

    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/376007a.pdf:
    Using the Internal Real-Time Clock
    The system clock of the cRIO-9068 is synchronized with the internal high-precision real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides timestamp data to the controller. You can also use the internal real-time clock to correct drift of the system clock. Refer to the Internal Real-Time Clock specification in the Specifications section for the accuracy specifications of the real-time clock.
    What are the "system clock" and "real-time clock"? How are they related? How does the synchronization provide timestamp data to the cRIO-9068 controller? How does the internal real-time clock correct drift of the system clock?
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373185a.pdf:
    No theory of operation whatsoever.
    Note: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/cRIO-9068-amp-NI-TimeSync/td-p/2838178 suggests that NI-TimeSync may not be available for the cRIO-9068:
    Currently NI-TimeSync 1.3 is not supported on Linux RT. This is something that's in the works but there is no ETA.

  • Packages and the big picture

    Hitting the chapter on subprograms and packages in the 2-day developer guide brought up material that is completely new to me, so I'm trying to think my way through it and hoped you guys might help me put some of the pieces together into at least a rough overall picture of how this works.
    Here's one statement that particularly caught my eye: "Many Oracle customers allow client programs to access the databases only by calling subprograms."
    To help explicate this, I'll take as an example a company with a sizeable plant near where I live: Baldor, which makes electric motors. That seems at least roughly like the kind of company that would fit the model of the hr database that Oracle provides as example--big enough to have multiple office locations, decent sized IT department but also lots of users who have no clue with regard to the inner workings of the database but who all still need to acces data of various kinds.
    Now suppose I (picturing myself with a good deal more knowledge than I currently have) am supposed to be developer for an Oracle database that is going to handle Baldor's data of various kinds. Aside from the obvious intricacies of setting up all the tables and their interrelationships, what I'm wondering (particularly since I'm coming from Access, where issues of this kind are outside the scope of the program) is how to picture the various interfaces for various user-types.
    They're going to have their administrators, who will know how the program works and how to tweak it to improve performance and all that. And they are skilled enough to use several possible interfaces, maybe develop their own, maybe just use one of the various access options that Oracle has in the drawer.
    But now, back to the packages and subprograms issue, which is the point of departure for my question: Am I supposed to set the database up so that everything that the non-IT guys in accounting, HR, sales, etc. need is set up in subprograms (that need to be designed accordingly) and will then be presented in various kinds of front ends (generated in whatever programming languages) that non-IT people can comfortably use and which provides additional protection for keeping consistent and accurate data in a context where lots of people are dealing with (and editing) it--i.e, the subprograms provide additional control over how the data is manipulated by the various non-IT people who need it and work with it.
    Is that the basic idea of how the subprograms and procedures fit into the overall scheme of things in Oracle?

    SQL and PL/SQL (or SQL Server, or MySQL, or ?? implementations of procedural SQL, for that matter) is a specialized skill set. My experience is that Java, .NET, VB, Python, Ruby on Rails, (or whatever comes next) programmers tend to not be very strong in SLQ or PL/SQL. Packages or procedures and functions provide a way to protect the database from these programmers. It also serves to allow more freedom in the front end development because the business rules and logic reside with the data and does not have to be recreated and tested whenever the front end language or platform changes. Used to be Mainframe with CICS, IDMS, IMS. Then client server. Now browser based applications. Next Smart phone applications. After that, who knows. But the data and business logic remains, the only thing that changes is how you get to it.

  • The big picture for UCM and WebCenter

    Can someone explain how our UCM product fits with Oracle's WebCenter? Can it replace Site Studio? Is anyone experimenting with this or can point me in the direction of connecting the Web Center product to the UCM product (10g or 11g)?
    In the Oracle WebCenter - Statement of Direction
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_sod.pdf
    I read the following that implies WebCenter can connect to UCM.
    Embed Web 2.0 into applications – WebCenter Services
    WebCenter Services include a complete set of Web 2.0 content, search, collaboration, and communication services that can be embedded directly into applications built with the WebCenter Framework. The level of integration is unique and compelling and allows the services to be accessible in the context of the task or business flow. These services include:
    A content management solution for storing and managing files and documents (Oracle Content Database or, as an additional license option, Oracle Universal Content Management – that is, Stellent)
    But I don't really know what that means to me or how to get started.
    Thanks.

    Wll, it's quiet easy. Webcenter is designed to handle services. UCM is also complettly service oriented so you could create a webapplication with webcenter where you define services from UCM and create your own user interface.
    It's nothing more than the fact that webcenter can handle services (WSDL, SOAP).
    You could create a site without siteStudio, using webcenter. Nothing wrong with that but don't forget that siteStudio has lots of tools that are great for UCM like the contributor mode. Also, the fragments that are allready build in in siteStudio give a big advantage. If you want to create these things in zebcenter, you'll have to start from scratch.
    I do believe Oracle is working on an portal like interface to create portlets and stuff, perhaps they will create some tools special for the use of UCM and webcenter. This offcourse would be very nice

  • Appleworks the big picture?

    As a classroom Geography teacher, I very often make big charts in Appleworks(eg 4 pages across and 5 down etc). I can pull a piece of clipart or photo over the total number of pages, When I print out I can trim the pages and make one big chart. I know Appleworks is being replaced by pages but cannot see how something like this can be done in Pages.
    Any ideas
    Thanks
    Dave

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Dave
    iWork, not just Pages, was announced a "building the successor to AppleWorks" but it's not there yet. Until iWork contains spreadsheet, database, draw & paint modules/applications, most of us won't consider iWork a replacement for AppleWorks. In the meantime, I use AppleWorks for what it does & iWork for what it does.

  • Gingerbread update -- What's the big deal?

    Having found Froyo to be a very useful update, I was curious what to expect for Gingerbread, so I looked up the Top 10 (according to one ZDNET blogger) Features of Gingerbread:  http://www.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/top-10-features-in-android-23-gingerbread/2143
     They're broken down between top 5 user features and top 5 developer features.  Below are the top 5 user feature [with my comments].  I'm just curious why folks are in such a lather over Gingerbread -- what am I missing out on? 
     New on-screen keyboard. The standard keyboard has been greatly improved in Android 2.3, with faster input and more intuitive typing. Even cut-and-paste got a makeover. [IMHO the HTC Sense KB on TB is very good -- perhaps this feature is needed on other Android phones]
    Streamlined user interface. New color schemes and various UI changes and polish make Android more consistent and simpler to use. [Yawn].
    Application and power management. Android 2.3 provides better insight into what is running in the background, how much memory and CPU time it is using, and even lets you kill misbehaving apps. Yes, after months of telling us we don’t need a task killer, they give us a task killer. Enjoy your chuckle, iPhone fans. [I'm pretty happy with the Apps manager in 2.2, but I don't run tons of Apps].
    SIP Internet calling. Voice over IP is integrated directly into Android 2.3. Unfortunately you’ll have to get a SIP account from a third party, and the ability might be curtailed on some carriers. [I can see this as very useful for some TB owners -- but really, how many of you use VOIP?]
    Download management. All your downloads from your browser, email, and other apps, can now be viewed and controlled from one place. [Thus far, I haven't had any issues with download mgmt.  I use the "OI File Manager" app, but perhaps the few apps I use which download stuff happen to be in the "well behaved" category -- e.g. let me know where they're downloading?"]

    it's not that big of a deal to me (or i would've got it by now). it's not nearly as critcal as froyo was (flash, etc). what bothers me though, is that it can and has been done. and now verizon is capable of pushing it to other devices.....older ones and newer ones....so why not us? i'm not going to throw fits or gripe about it, but since you brought it up, my opinion is that they plastered ads all over the place when they launched this device....and then just sort of gave up on it (took forever for anyone to offer cases for extended batteries, a BAD update, i'm still not sure if they ever got the dock that they had advertised and then pulled from their site??? etc, etc). i'm happy with my tbolt and have been fine with froyo, but GB is being pushed to other devices so there's really no reason we shouldn't have it soon.
