Has anyone here ever used their Mac to run Holiday lights?

I'm somewhat interested in running a holiday light show on my mac.
I just started research last night but the majority of component and software manufacturers say Windows and the rest say nothing.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Well, you didn't say you wanted to control an outdoor Xmas light show from your computer! I took it literally that you wanted to run it on your Mac, which is what the suggested program does!

ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

Has anyone tried DTW using Superuser (not manager)?

Hi,
Has anyone here ever been able to log-in to DTW using Superuser, not Manager? I have tried in 2 servers and I cannot log-in using Superuser. It seems I can use DTW only if I log-in using manager account. But I wonder why they have Change User button in DTW log-in screen.
My client is having trouble with this. Sales is telling me it is possible. Maybe there is another requirement aside from being superuser??
Thank you in advance.

HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you.

JSR 94 Compliant Search Engines: Has anyone here used any?

Folks,
We're currently migrating a 3270 application to a servlet/jsp application. As part of this migration we're
getting rid of our mainframe rules engine (largely because of horrendous licensing I understand).
I've done some research and found out about JSR 94 (the proposed standard API for Rules Engines).
Is anyone here currently using or in the process of implementing a JSR 94 compliant rules engine?
Did you decide against JSR 94?
Any input is appreciated.
BTW - Here's the link for those who haven't seen JSR 94.
http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=094

There are a number of complient rules engines. however it would seem that the APi development has
not quite finished yet (although I doubt there will be any further changes).
Part of the Reference Implementation is a wrapper that uses the Jess rules engine
http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/
Another free engine that claims support for JSR94 is drules
http://drools.org/
Please note that I have not used either of these implementations.

Has anyone been able to open Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 file?

Has anyone been able to open Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 file?

peterfromfareham,
No, I have not been able to open it either when downloading right off of Apple's Downloads website. I keep getting the error
"The following disk images couldn't be opened" Image: MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.dmg ; Reason: not recognized.
Apparently people downloading it through Software update are not having a problem, but I need to keep the file so I can run it on multiple computers without having to re-download it.
Also, the file is only 1.07 GB, not 1.09 GB as advertised.
I'm experiencing the same situation here. Same error and file size.
To be accurate, the file is 1.071.015.728 byte and its MD5 hash is c1b40fabb9a8d2b21484546dbe86d446.
When I download the update at work (Modena, Italy) I keep getting this file, no matter how many times I try to download it, but if I download the update at home (Cento, Italy) the file is bigger and I can mount it without problems.
I asked two friends to try to get it and one of them from Reggio Emilia (Italy) got the right DMG, the other from Padova (Italy) got the corrupted DMG and the "not recognized" error. We have all different ISP so I can not tell if it's ISP related.
I may be wrong but couldn't it be that some server in the Apple's CDN has got the corrupted copy of the update and serves it to users requesting the file from some specific locations?
Anyway, I opened an incident with Apple through Express Lane that has now been escalated.
I'll report back their findings as soon as they reply to me.

Has anyone here tried BSD?

Hi there,
We all know that Archlinux is BSD-like.However,has anyone here really experienced BSD,like FreeBSD,OpenBSD,NetBSD......What about that?:D

I'm using FreeBSD on my desktop that I'm typing from right now, Arch is on the laptop.
About a year ago, I started to get really frustrated with Linux distros -- thanks to Linux itself. You upgrade the kernel and stuff breaks. Kernel devs implement shiny new stuff instead of making sure that it at least works. I thought that using some less bleeding-edge distro than Arch would make things better, but I can't stand Debian, Gentoo is broken, Ubuntu and Fedora are too overcomplicated for me. So I switched to Windows. I was happy for some time, but my fingers are too used to the shell, and stuff like Cygwin just doesn't cut it. Then I found FreeBSD and been using it ever since.
The system itself is very simple and clean. Documentation is excellent so there's no smashing your head against the keyboard involved. All you really get is a basic Unix system: you have a shell, an editor (vi, ed), a compiler and the base necessary tools. You then build the rest yourself.
Third-party software management is a bit different from Linux distros. Linux distros are almost all about package management. Some distros also provide shiny stuff and patches everywhere, but we're on Arch forums and we know well Arch doesn't do that: Arch merely packages stuff and makes sure the packages work well together. Arch devs don't develop the kernel, they just package it. They don't develop base system utilities, they just package them. FreeBSD, on the other hand, is the kernel and the base tools. It does provide rather simple tools for package management (pkg_add, pkg_delete), and you can optionally install the Ports Tree, which is just a system of makefiles that take care of fetching, configuring and building software for you. Or you can install stuff yourself, though that's not recommended. FreeBSD isn't about the software that you install or how you install it, it's about providing you with the base platform on which the software can run.
That said, I find the Ports Tree very mature and easy to use. You can install third party scripts that will help you with software management, like portupgrade or portmaster (the latter being my favourite). But the system itself is very simple and thus easy to understand -- there's no magic involved.
(Some posters before me have mentioned packages being outdated. You probably were running a -RELEASE version, which is all fine and great, but it also means that the packages that are fetched by default are the packages that were available and built when -RELEASE was released. You can define the environment variable PACKAGESITE to point pkg_add to newer packages. It's all explained in the handbook -- especially the grey note may be of interest to you.)
During my day-to-day desktop usage, I don't see any difference from my previous Arch desktop. I have Xfce running, with Opera, Pidgin, Transmission, ePDFReader, and a bunch of terminals. I don't like shiny stuff, I didn't have it on Arch, I don't have it here. If you want, though, you can have it, there's no difference -- GUI software doesn't usually suffer any portability problems between Linux and FreeBSD. If I sat you at my desktop, I think you wouldn't even tell this is not a Linux distro, until you typed "uname -a" into the terminal.
HAL may be even more pain on FreeBSD than it is on Linux, but I hate HAL, I hated it when I was using Arch, I had it disabled back then, I have it disabled now. I have seen people reporting they got it to work successfully on FreeBSD, though. So if you like things like automounting, I believe you can have them. But I'm not of the sort of people who like auto- stuff, myself.
All in all, if you like barebones simplicity and like learning new things (it's different from Linux!), I don't see why you couldn't just give it a try. You can install it into VirtualBox, if you don't feel like messing up your primary PC and get some feel for what the system is and is not about.

Today is the fist time that I have ever used a mac and I am not very well versed on computers to begin with. From what I gather I need to purchase the mac os 10.5 but there are a lot of different options and I dont know what I need to do. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I dont want to spend too much money because i just want my ipod touch to be compatible with my ibook. thank you

Hi
Your question is more suitable for the 10.4's General Forum rather than 10.4 OSX Server. Post here instead:

Has anyone tried to use an external gpu in a thunderbolt case?

Hi everybody.
I have a macbook pro 2.2 GHz i7, 16gb of RAM
Has anyone tried to use an external gpu in a thunderbolt case to speed up editing or rendering in Premiere Pro?
I would like to try the Vidock cases with a compatible GPU. Anyone tried it out?
thanks

Hi Eric
thanks for your answer.
As far as I know, the INTERNAL CPU to GPU data transfer speed is way faster than the speed you can obtain via thunderbolt, so it doesn't matter what GPU you put in an external thunderbolt case, you won't benefit on any speed increase.
But still when I goggle this subject I find people saying that they edit and render much faster with an external thunderbolt case and GPU.
So I thought about trying to find the "truth" here on this forum.
Anyone else wants to share his/her experience?
Thanks

Has anyone else ever had a problem where you had to perform 2 datasocket writes before the datasocket read would pick up the change?

I have a local VI that is simply a control that writes to the datasocket server whenever the control value changes.(the dataitem on the server is permanent - its initialized and never released by the server)
In the same local VI I have a datasocket read polling a different dataitem on the server.
The remote machine has a VI that reads the permanent dataitem on the server once per second.
For some reason, after adding the local VI mentioned above, the remote VI stopped picking up the first change in the permanent variable.
I'd start both the local and remote VIs...
Then change the local control and the remote V
I would not update - as if the datasocket write(upon adjusting the control) did not take place. So I'd change the control value again - this time the remote VI would update to this new value. And from here on out - the remote VI would update correctly. This problem only occurs when the local VI is first started up.
What in the heck is going on?

Gorka is right, this came up on Info-LV a few days ago. Someone
described a similar problem. I replied that I had seen similar
behaviour, reported it to NI, and they verified a bug. There is no fix
yet, but they are aware of it and will fix it. No anticipated release
date for the fix.

Has anyone had to abandon their current voice plan when activating iphone?

Has anyone had to change their current voice plan when activating the iphone? I want to get the iphone, but the restrictions are killing me. I can't apply my 24% business discount, no MMS capabilities, no video and the ATT rep told me that I would have to change my current voice plan. The voice plan is the biggest issue. I can live with the others.
I current have a family share plan with 850 anytime minutes (unlimited nights and weekends and M2M) for $59.99/month. This plan is way better than anything ATT is currently offering. Has anyone had to deal with this?

I was told when I bought the phone from the Rep at the AT&T store that I would get a 15% discount off my bill for work.. knowing she sold me an iPhone. Emails have went back and forth since October where she said I had to wait a couple of montsh for it process. After calling AT&T customer service and asking them why that my discount column on the bill shows 0.00 and going to the store I bought it and talking to another rep, they both said it doesn't apply to iPhone accounts. After sending another email to the original rep, she goes back on her word and confirms it's not happening. Thank God its a cool phone, otherwise I'd hang up AT&T over that $15/mo I've been missing out on.

Has anyone tried to connect their xbox?

Has anyone tired to connect their xbox using the wireless Networking Adapter? Every time I try, it tells me that it is not connected. Anyone have any suggestions?

I believe there is no issue connecting the Xbox 360 via Wired Ethernet (either an ethernet cable directly from Xbox 360 to TC, or via a wired Ethernet bridge). The problem is, as you said, when trying to connect wirelessly via the Xbox 360 Wireless USB adaptor.
Did Apple say anything more about the fix? Timescales? I'm itching to get a Time Capsule, but not until this issue is fixed.
Also, if I set the TC to 802.11n with backwards compatibilty (forget the exact option), will this slow the entire network down if I have a mixture of 802.11n and 802.11g devices connecting to it? I read somewhere that it will only slow the network down whilst the actual devices in question are transmitting. Is this correct?

Has anyone had trouble using Adobe Support on line?

Has anyone had trouble using the Adobe support on line? For two days, I have tried to use the support system which requires a phone call and being put on hold or a call back of up to one hour wait long. Four or five times my call was dropped shortly after the agent began to work with me.. One female agent was unable to find my adobe Lightroom serial # registered, so threatened to drop the call. My # was used a couple of days to download Lt. Rm 3.6. I asked to speak with her manager, she put me on hold, and hung up the phone after 20 mintues. I did get her name in case anyone from Adobe is interested. I tried again and again to get help, but each time it ended in a hang up. Does any one know how to get to an agent who can really help? I am beyond frustration.

Try asking your question here, instead. There are lots of people here with great expertise, even though we don't work for Adobe.
