General comment about using forums for troubleshooting

If most people came to these forums before doing things to their computer, and looked around and even asked a few questions, they probably would not be back here afterwards.
I learned this when I first got Leopard, when the first of the recent Airport updates came out, and with the recent Safari update.
I also learned a huge amount about installing Winders by visiting the bootcamp forum before installing Windows.
Forewarned is forearmed.
The amount of information in these forums is huge and most if it is easily searched for and can often solve a problem before it actually arises.

I don't know. To what logic do you refer? I suppose we all have problems now and then and need ot vent.
And what does that have to do with Froebenius?

What do you think about using exceptions for something more than errors

if you look the java.lang.Exception description at the JDK javadoc, you can see the following text:
"The class Exception and its subclasses are a form of Throwable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch."
... we can�t see "error" word anywhere!!
What do you think about using exceptions for something more than errors? Can be possible use them as a way for send information to upper layers?
Thankx in regards...

it seems that what you say is a functional way of achiveing that, yes
but Exceptions are generally reserverd for "Exceptional" situations ie program messing up or invalid data
it does require a fair bit of processor time to actually generate and throw an Exception.
so, all in all its "better" to use "normal" condition flow control to achive what you want.. you can always return early, break loops, call methods to pass information

Comments about using non-websafe fonts

Why not post your suggestions/comments/examples here....

Hi
Whilst we have now gone way off topic here there are some valid points being made in other areas such as -
One end of the spectrum does include the geeky nerdies that just want to
push their technology, and too bad if you're not with the latest
software or hardware. This camp also includes the business and financial
people who have their own agendas for moving technology along,
sometimes a little too fast. On the other end of the spectrum are those
who will strive to ensure the less than 5% running legacy browsers and
equipment are supported, at the expense of not providing the other 95%
of users with a better experience with newer technology.
Without the 'Geeky nerd' we would not have the web, and even 10 years ago anyone who worked in any way that was connected with the web was considered a 'Geeky nerd', so lets not knock the 'Geeky nerd' he provided us with work.
As for moving technology along, if this did not happen we would all still be working with IE6 or even NN4 as the main browsers, and the mobile web would not exist if it was not for the iPhone.
Many people do not like the idea of progressive enhancements, or the graceful degrading of code, but this is often because the client does not ask for the newer features, (do you explain the difference or offer the newer features to your clients?). If the client did and the designer could not provide/fulfil the clients wishes, (loss of contract and money) I could guarantee that it the designer would very quickly learn/adopt html5/css3.
HTML 5 should be a standard by now but thanks to MS and IE it's been
slowed down, and even Adobe for not providing updates to at least CS4 to
allow more developers to get in the game.
MS stopped any work on IE after the .com crash as they thought the web was dead, and in many ways it is, look at the designs and UI from 2001 and you will see almost no change to that being offered by most designers now, (I blame it on them not understanding the media). But with IE9/10 they are catching up and have overtaken browsers such as FF/Safari and Chrome in some very important features. The other thing to remember is that IE must also be customizable by IT administrators, something that the other browsers do not have to worry about.
As for Adobe and CS4, they do provide the html5/css3 extension, (without multi-screen) but lets be honest not many people wanted html5/css3 in CS5, (don't know if you remember that discussion) and Adobe only released the extension for that after much discussion and criticism on this and other forums/blogs. So if you want better support for anything, file those feature requests because if you do not how are the DW dev team supposed to know what you want, (don't file them and that will think you are happy) or will adopt features that others want, which are probably not the same as your wishes.

I am using numbers for a mailing address spread sheet. When I try to type in a Massachusetts zip code, once I hit "enter" the cell deletes the zero, which is the first number in the zip code. How can I change this? Thank you

to open the cell inspector use the menu item "View > Show Inspector" then select the "cells":

General Questions About Use of Hyperion for Reporting

Hi,I'm investigating whether we can use Hyperion reporting tools for my company. Can anyone help with the ff:What is the difference between Hyperion Reports and SQR? From the docs I've seen, SQR seems more flexible than Reports? Or are they used for different purposes? Can I use Hyperion Reports with DB2 or Oracle databases? Or do I need to use SQR?Finally, is there some sort of demo download that I can try out before recommending these tools?Thanks,roy

Thanks so much for the reply.
Before I posted my code, I double-checked my syntax and think I found the problem. I using Fragments at the beginning of my page, and at the end, to construct a wrapper table where I can put some fancier graphics, etc. I'm using the fragments and plain old HTML because using another gridpanel on each page is a bit cumbersome, and also I need the flexibility of possibly doing some dynamic things to this table... Because each fragment doesn't have matching tags to complete the page, I think that's screwing up the designer, as you suggested. For instance, here is my fragment at the top of each page :
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="1">
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">
<TABLE WIDTH="595" BORDER="2" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" BORDERCOLOR="#184266">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#184266"> </TD>
<TD WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="RIGHT" BGCOLOR="#184266"> </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">

Any suggestions on a better way to use includes to break out some necessary HTML??
THANKS very much!

Thanks for correcting my "spelling". And no I don't use that product so I have no clue on the correct term for it.
And for the record the correct way to phrase that is:
And BTW: it's either Dreamweaver or DreamWeaver, not dream weaver.
I don't see any spelling errors. However, the first sentence is fragmented.
It's because he has edited the post. Probably did it so he wouldn't look so stupid when he corrected my grammar.

About using Skype for Business

We are planning for IM & Video Conference solution for our company.
The number of users will be about 40, among three sites (One in HK and two in China).
The main function to us is Instant Message, Audio chat or conference, Video chat or conference.
If we use Skype as our solution, how should be plan to purchase?
Is that we only need pay for Skype Manager and then we can enjoy Group Video Chat for everyone?
Best Regards,
Ivan

Skype manager itself is free. The Group Video chat is not free.
Skype is really quite good, but do not depend on it as your primary method of business communication. I suggest you look at google business apps it may meet your requirement for a low cost. Look at their "hangouts" product - it allows up to 8 or so people to group conference. It is a lot lot better with collaborative document sharing.

Question about using plans for more than one device

I have a Verizon wireless broad band modem I currently use in conjunction for my lap top. I am looking at getting a cell phone soon and I am curious if I can use that plan, that is currently attached to the modem, with this hypothetical cellphone as well, or if I would need get separate plans for both devices.

If you want to keep your data from being merged, you will need to have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs. You can still track your devices using Find My iPhone, you will just need to be signed into the iCloud account for the device you are trying to track. You can also continue to share the same ID for iTunes purchasing; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
In order to migrate your daughter to her own account, on her phone go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from her phone, not from iCloud. Your devices will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload her data to the new account.
You can then go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account (such as deleting your daughter's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

General questions about using webservices and xml as opposed to an oracle driver

Dear Experts; I have a general question which I have yet to test. Is it faster to use an ODBC driver to connect and retrieve data from an Oracle database than creating a .net webservices and using an XML to get the data for your web application. THank you

At some point in the architecture stack some component will need to access the database in order to get the information from the database. That component will need to use an Oracle client driver.

Some General Questions about using SSL sockets

1 Since both SSL and TLS rely on public-key cryptography, can I use it efficiently for encrypting large amount of data transfer within a network? Or I�ll be better off using secret key.
2 If I understand correctly, I can install client/server certificate (public key) along with the software installation. Is that right? In other words, I don�t have to create them programmatically.
3 To convert our unsecured client/server application, is it enough to replace plain sockets with SSL sockets and use a self signed certificate for the server? (Ours is a closed network and we don�t require any client authentication).
4 How does SSL handles server to server communications?
5 How do you encrypt data ( some of the fields) in a text file?
Thank you all.

hey there.
1.yes you can use it to encrypt large amounts of data, and heres why:
when you use SSL, it uses public key encryption to first tranfser across a private key. then from then on the data is simply private key encrypted, which is relatively fast and easy.
2. Yes, you may chose to make them programatically or not
4. the question doesn't really make sense. In the end, what is a Server and what is a Client is up to your application. From SSL's point of view, you just have two machines with Sockets on either side that are connected. You can use SSLSocket.setClientMode(boolean) to choose which of those socket will act as the "server" for the purpose of the authentication handsake.

A question about Using RSL for our Intranet Application

Hi ,
I am doing an Intranet Application (Which will be used only with in the Employees of the Organization)
We want to RSL as read that it will improve the performance of the swf files .
Please let us know what type of RSL (like Standard RSLs , Cross-domain RSLs or Framework RSL)
Suppourt us ??
Can anybody let me know how can i provide RSL facility for my Application .
Thanks in advnace .

Thanks for the information .
As you mentioned:
RSLs are only useful if more than one SWF is going to share it.
Our Intranet Application is divided into several Modules , but under only one APPlication MMXL file . So will this be useful for us in any way ??

Proplem about use IDsync for windows 1.0 to sync users accounts

Hello.
I set the DS5.2 and IDsync 1.0 on the sunfire 240 and os is Solaris 9 .
I set all about the configuration of DS5.2 and Idsync include CA certifications on both software.
I can sucess sync useraccounts from Windows2003 to Sun.but I can't sync Useraccounts from Sun to Windows2k3.
and this my input command:
this is sync from windows to sun
bash-2.05# pwd
/var/opt/mps/serverroot/isw-LDAP-Server1/etc/CNN100
bash-2.05# idsync resync -h ldap-server1.sinomos.com -p 636 -D "cn=directory manager" -w passwdadmin -s dc=sinomos,dc=com -Z -P cert7.db -q passwdadmin -c -i NEW_USERS
Operation is started. Enter 'c' to cancel.
User progress: Dumped: 1
User progress: Dumped: 1 In sync: 1
this is sync Sun to Win2k3 happen a error
bash-2.05# idsync resync -h ldap-server1.sinomos.com -p 636 -D "cn=directory manager" -w passwdadmin -s dc=sinomos,dc=com -Z -P cert7.db -q passwdadmin -o Sun -c -i NEW_USERS
Cannot reset DS passwords when resyncing from DS to Windows.
Can anyone help me ! thanks!!

David,
The SSL related parameters in the IdSync CLI only apply to the communication between the command line and the configuration directory server.
The communication type to be used during the resync operation is the same as during normal synchronization. This is what you configured with the management console, when you setup your Active Directory and Sun Directory sources.
The -i NEW_USERS option can only be used when resync-ing from Active Directory to Sun Directory server.
This is why you get the error message "Cannot resete DS Passwords when resyncing from DS to Windows".

Question about using onyx for maintenance.....

after using this app to maintain, clean up, and clear cahes, log files etc, the applications used to open certain files as default was changed and as a result so were their icons...
when i restarted my mac i noticed that some of my files (mainly .doc) where given the default icon picture instead of the microsoft word icon and i had to re set them all to open as default with microsoft word
i know this is a result of something ive done in onyx but am unsure which
any help apprecited, thanks

Onyx is third-party software. If you need support or questions answered regarding its use you should contact the developer via his/her web site. These Discussions only provide support for Apple products.

My general comments about the beta

I am using version 1.8.0 Mac OS 10.6.8. Default settings.
Here are my comments:
1) In the library mode we can no longer view by Icon, only list. I like using both. Any chance the Icon list could be restored? If yes it would be great to crontrol the icon size too!
2) With an epub document I made the font size bigger than minimum, the fonts get bigger, but the leading (space between lines) is screwed up, it does not increase as font size size went up.
3) When viewing pdf files I set viewing with screen width, when in this mode it would be nice if cursor key scrolled down the page before changing page, currently cursor key changes page.
Please note: I have been a Digital Editions user since version 1.0; happy to see some effort being put into this!

Really appreciate your feedbacks.
1) You are using the Mac version of Digital Editions, right? We are considering when to add the view by icon feature (i.e. thumbnail view).
2) We do not see this on our side. Can you please share with us such an epub document?
3) When you click the scroll bar slot, Digital Editions moves half of the screen content up/down. You may use up/down arrow keys or mouse scroll wheel to move content continuously.
