Where can I get some feet for my 15" Macbook Pro (mid 2009) without the cost of A$200

I am loosing my mind. Can anuone please help?
I have a 15" mid 2009 Macbook Pro, that I love. It is my 6th Apple computer so it's not like I haven't contributed to the Apple estate.
I use it for work and study so it pretty much runns continuously and has since its purchase in 2009. So, as you can imagine wear and tear are starting to show.
3 of the 4 feet have come off and this is making me crazy. It does not ventilate properly and doesn't sit well on the desk. I have attempted to buy all manner of feet to fit it, but nothing works.
So, I took it to my local Apple store a while ago in search of some replacement feet for it. Because, Apple have to inspect all repair jobs.
I cannot buy, the feet alone, I must buy the complete bottom housing for it at the cost of A$199.00 (WHAT!!!, I HEAR YOU SAY!!!, and that is pretty much exactly what I said when I was told this by my apple genius (and yes, I did say Genius with a sarcastic tone), but certainly the thoughts that ran through my mind were far stronger).
So, in my eternal search to make my perfectly working but incredibly annoying, beloved macbook pro be as good as ever, I have been to 2 "apple" dealers in the hope to buy this product at a cheaper price. Because, 1. I don't want the base, only the feet and 2. I don't want to pay 200 bucks for it.
Anyway. the first purchase I made was through some dodgy chinese website. Apparently, there is no one at the other end, because all corespondense was ignored. But I did get my money back.
But the second has really done my head in. www.applecomponents.com had advertised the part at $US69. So, I purchased and paid with paypal and all was well with the world. But, This morning I recieved the following email. And this is the entirity of the message from a business with obviously no customer service skill, not address, no phone number. Just a rude individual at the end of the email.
Remember, this was the whole email...
"so it's looking like this part was in the wrong bin. we don't actually have one. we can get new, but it would cost around $150.
please advise?"
***? (and I am really holding back bolding that text and setting the font size to 68).
In Australia, if a product is advertised at a price, that is what we pay for it.
So, I re-check the website and the price has increase $100 but, it still says "in stock".
Right about now, I am starting to get quite frustrated, with this faceless nameless person/company/shonk.
I get in touch with some consumer experts and reply and I recieve the following reponse...
"it was an honest mistake. we have a lot parts. we haven't sold one of these bottom cases for over 6 months. whoever labeled em' did it wrong. I don't have the part, but I have access to ordering it new with my vendor - hence the price change.
feel free to call me anytime and we can talk it out.
thanks
phillip
503-806-6423"
(not really sure where this phone number resides so the 10 digits are useless)
Now, Phillip is not the person I made the payment to. The payment was made to Alex Kraft.
Who, After I demanded the product. Has just refunded my money and dissapeard off the planet.
I am sick and tired of these shonks and it is now my mission to stop these people from trading.
Sorry for my digression but, I feel, all should be aware of these people. Scammers.
But, if anyone knows where I can get some feet from someone who will bloddy supply them at a price that is reasonable.
Please let me know.
Thanks

your situation is not new. Others have been told by Apple that they have to purchase the entire bottom panel in order to replace the feet. There are engineering solutions that can solve this problem, but to pay nearly $200 to replace a part that costs less than $1 (I am being very, very conservative) to manufacture is too excessive.
I have had the feet come off as well. Fortunately for me, I have not lost them and have been able to replace them. Why they cannot sell them individually is a puzzle to me. Perhaps some bean counter at Apple feels its too much effort to have these items individually in their inventory. I have had nothing but good comments to say about Apple, but sadly this is an exception.
To address your problem, I have seen second hand ones advertised on Ebay. The price was a bit steep, $10 as I remember. Other wise, wjosten's suggestion is the only alternative.

Why did i move! anyone give me some advice for get...

Ok, ill start at the begining, i have had broadband for years, and having been with freeserve, Zen, and most recently sky i decided to move over to BT.
This was purely because im cancelling sky TV so it didnt make sense to keep broadband with them.
I have enjoyed speeds the last couple of years of just over 5mbs thanks to all the work zen put in getting my line working wonderfully. When i moved to sky, they changed nothing and this continued.
I moved to BT on the 24th, and the speed was around 700k, i called and complained and they said my line was in a recovery state and this was standard procedure. In 2 to 3 days time my line would be wonderful.
I have called a couple of times since then as my line keeps dropping to be told this is normal and the same "recovery state" blurb given to me.
I understand the line dropping when you move ISP, but i have never had a connection so slow.. its got slower every day since being activated. when its actually up (which is less than its down) i now get speeds <100k at very best.
I want out, i have agreed a contract, but there not providing a service, i cant even find a number to complain on!!!
Day 5 of my new internet connection and i get told this recovery state will last 10 days. we use the internet a lot in my house, there are 4 of us who i would say are dependant on it, and what BT are providing is unuseable!
anyone point me in the right direction for complaints or just getting out now?

that's the nature of forums - people who come to forums like yourself (and me) came because they were having a problem and were hoping someone on the forum could help. You don't get people coming to a forum and posting how great there connection is and that applies to all ISPs
If you want some help/assistance from the forum can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results.
are you connected to the NTE5 master or test socket or somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Could anyone give me some pointers for my macbook hardware upgrade path?

I have a few questions concerning my Macbook Pro 5,1. Firstly, I'd like to purchase a solid state drive to replace my existing 7200 rpm disk, and I'm not sure what interface I should purchase. System profiler lists my SATA controller as a MCP79 AHCI, with a 3 Gigabit link speed. What SATA standard does this correspond to?
Secondly, what is the maximum amount of RAM that my motherboard can work with? I've seen reports of 8gb and of 6gb, so I'm not sure what to think.
Finally, I would like to purchase an Optibay cradle for my existing hard drive, so I could have two disks in my computer at once. Would Apple provide me with service if I request them to install it for me?

MacBook Pros have a SATA interface and use 2.5" notebook drives. Your model can support up to 8 GBs of RAM: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
Apple will not install third-party hardware. You can purchase a DIY kit complete with tools from OWC that allows you to install an SSD in place of the optical drive. They are also an excellent source for RAM and hard drives.

Give me some advice

hi,all
I began to learn BW a little more than three months ago. During this time,
I found myself becoming interested in it. I, therefore, am determined to
learn it well.
But our project is just at the start, and the external consultants seem unwilling
to teach me .
what should i do.
Please give me some advice on how to do a good job in it and how to get along well with the consultants.

Hi Lawrence,
Try to use SDN as much as you can... Search in forums what ever doubts you have and post your doubts... Try to do some test developments if you have a Development system... It will take time for you to work like the other consultants... but Only way to learn BW is to acquire the Practical Knowledge....search all How to do stuff in forum...
All the Best
Cheers,
Sudhakar.

Are you choosing a different plan before tapping Done?
To downgrade, you should be doing the following:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Change Storage Plan.
Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Tap Done.

Give me some ideas for the project.

Hi,folks
I am not familiar with programming in web services. Now i have a project related to web services need to finish. I want to someone give me some ideas for the project. how can i implement the access control services. is there anyone can give me some related links for me to learn.
Project Title: Implementing an access control service
Project Description:
Web services are emerging as a new approach to system construction and will make a major impact on the engineering of future business systems. They will allow a move from enterprise to inter-enterprise computing. However, with inter-enterprise computing, there are major problems with providing access to shared data, given that enterprises will not wish to share all data with partners.
This project aims to investigate this problem by developing a prototype of an access control service that will help decide whether or not data access should be permitted. In essence, companies will outsource their access control to this service and so will not need to maintain their own access control lists for a potentially rapidly changing set of users.
Suggested Platform: Windows or Linux
Suggested Languages & Tools: Java

Well, the approach I've come accross is a central server which is typically accessed indirectly from the web servers (e.g. through SOAP protocol or RMI).
The remote server sends a user id and a password (or more likely a digest of the password), and receives a session token, basically just a random string of characters which is checked with the central server each time a secure transaction is attempted. The token will be stored in a session object, or perhaps directly in a cookie or in the URLs.
Active session tokens are stored on the central server for comparison. This means the password doesn't have to be retained in the server.
It's possible for the session token to be transfered if the user switches from one site to another on the same authentication server.
Sun distributes one of these beasties, by the way, so you could take a look at their product specs.

I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

Can anyone give me some documents for data cluster

Hi,
can anyone give me some documents for data cluster?
ths!
regards!

Hi ,
The following is a documentation on the Data Cluster:
Data clusters are specific to ABAP. Although it is possible to read a cluster database using SQL statements, only ABAP can interpret the structure of the data cluster.
You can store data clusters in special databases in the ABAP Dictionary. These are called ABAP cluster databases, and have a prescribed structure:
Cluster Databases ( I have explained the cluster databse below )
This method allows you to store complex data objects with deep structures in a single step, without having to adjust them to conform to the flat structure of a relational database. Your data objects are then available systemwide to every user. To read these objects from the database successfully, you must know their data types.
You can use cluster databases to store the results of analyses of data from the relational database. For example, if you want to create a list of your customers with the highest revenue, or an address list from the personnel data of all of your branches, you can write ABAP programs to generate the list and store it as a data cluster. To update the data cluster, you can schedule the program to run periodically as a background job. You can then write other programs that read from the data cluster and work with the results. This method can considerable reduce the response time of your system, since it means that you do not have to access the distributed data in the relational database tables each time you want to look at your list.
Cluster Database :
 Cluster databases are special relational databases in the ABAP Dictionary that you can use to store data clusters. Their line structure is divided into a standard section, containing several fields, and one large field for the data cluster.
Creating a Directory of a Data Cluster
To create a directory of a data cluster from an ABAP cluster database, use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO <dirtab>
 FROM DATABASE <dbtab>(<ar>)
 [CLIENT <cli>] ID <key>.
This creates a directory of the data objects belonging to a data cluster in the database <dbtab> in the internal table <dirtab>. You must declare <dbtab> using a TABLES statement.
To save a data cluster in a database, use the EXPORT TO DATABASE statement .
For <ar>, enter the two-character area ID for the cluster in the database. The name <key> identifies the data in the database. Its maximum length depends on the length of the name field in <dbtab>. The CLIENT <cli> option allows you to disable the automatic client handling of a client-specific cluster database, and specify the client yourself. The addition must always come directly after the name of the database.
The IMPORT statement also reads the contents of the user fields from the database table.
If the system is able to create a directory, SY-SUBRC is set to 0, otherwise to 4.
The internal table <dirtab> must have the ABAP Dictionary structure CDIR.
******** Sample Program illustrating the data cluster .
PROGRAM Zdata_cluster.
TABLES INDX.
******to save data objects in cluster databases
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 100,
 COL1 TYPE I,
 COL2 TYPE I,
 END OF ITAB.
DO 3000 TIMES.
ITAB-COL1 = SY-INDEX.
ITAB-COL2 = SY-INDEX ** 2.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
INDX-AEDAT = SY-DATUM.
INDX-USERA = SY-UNAME.
INDX-PGMID = SY-REPID.
EXPORT ITAB TO DATABASE INDX(HK) ID 'Table'.
WRITE: ' SRTF2',
 AT 20 'AEDAT',
 AT 35 'USERA',
 AT 50 'PGMID'.
ULINE.
SELECT * FROM INDX WHERE RELID = 'HK'
 AND SRTFD = 'Table'.
WRITE: / INDX-SRTF2 UNDER 'SRTF2',
 INDX-AEDAT UNDER 'AEDAT',
 INDX-USERA UNDER 'USERA',
 INDX-PGMID UNDER 'PGMID'.
ENDSELECT.
****To create a directory of a data cluster from an ABAP ****cluster database
DATA DIRTAB LIKE CDIR OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO DIRTAB FROM DATABASE

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE: / 'AEDAT:', INDX-AEDAT,
 / 'USERA:', INDX-USERA,
 / 'PGMID:', INDX-PGMID.
WRITE / 'Directory:'.
LOOP AT DIRTAB.
 WRITE: / DIRTAB-NAME, DIRTAB-OTYPE, DIRTAB-FTYPE,
 DIRTAB-TFILL, DIRTAB-FLENG.
ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
WRITE 'Not found'.
ENDIF.
*******run this program and see the result.
Hope this documentation will give you an idea of data cluster.
if useful, do reward with the points.

Kunal.
