How about two SDN "blogspaces" : one FOR points  and 1 NOT FOR points ?

I suggest that the current SDN logspace be divided into two subspaces:
one for points: this is where technical and/or non-controversial messages would be posted and be rewarded according to the current rules
one not for points: this is where folks would post "controversial" messages (technical or non-technical) that would not get any point reward.
I would personally prefer to post in the "not for points" subspace, for several reasons.
But I'd prefer to see what others have to say before saying what they are.
By the way, there's a US expression "preaching to the choir".  The new blog (for no points) would be for those who are not necessarily "preaching to the choir".

david,
i think i do understand your intention and therefore agree with you.
IMHO, the blogsphere here on SDN, as execellent as it is, is kind of a 'posing platform' rather than a discussion space. People do post their contributions, receive their points reward and expect some congratulations and cheering if anything at all. I happened to me that people got upset when I questioned the use or correctness or usefulness of some of the content of their blogs. When it did this with the intention to discuss matters, I recognized that people actually didn't want to discuss their contributions.
Of course the things said above do not hold true for for a big number of contributors.
The same thing thing in the forums. A lot of people do provide very valuable answers but often not discuss matters when points are already given.
So having a discussion area, free of the rewards system's pressures might be a helpful addition. Something like a discussions corner. In Vienna we call this 'Kaffeehaus'
A place where you post some free thought where you don't have to justify the minimum blog reward points, where you don't have to apply the care expected in drafting a blog, etc..
Just freestyle discussion on useful or not so useful topics.
regards,
anton

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.

  • WHY FREE ITUNES PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY FOR USA AND NOT FOR OTHER USERS OUTSIDE USA

    I am so impressed wit the welcome page saying "Join the conversation. Share tips and solutions with fellow Apple product users from all around the world."
    Apple mentioned for their products users around the world but many of their free itunes products are available only for USA and not for the users from the other side of the globe?
    Is this Apple a fair and customer oriented company or full of bias and Only money oriented company.
    If apple could not make thier other FREE stuffs available outside US territory then better for thsi company to just sell their products in USA. its just so disgusting...  If we need a certain apps (FREE APPS) available only for US based users.
    If you think US users and other country users are paying the same prices for their iPad 3G/4G WIFI 64GB and iPhone 3G/4G 64 GB like hat I did having the 2 gadgets altogether but my investment ends to disgusting as the apple company cound not treat people equal then.....  I want to return all this **** stuffs

  • TS1702 how can I get anyone to give us answer on the iphone apps casino game we purchased few days ago which once the token was finished we were not able to reset and play just for fun and not for gambling. we need help and not to be charged additional

    few days ago I have purchased Iphone casino games from itunes apps store. One of the game was made by the company called "ARISTOCRAT" dragan game. Usually we will get basic tokens to play the game, and if we ran out of the tokens all we need to do is going into "manu" and "setting" selete "dream" and reset that we should be able to continue play the game with same amount of the basic tokens. The one game would not let us to go back to the game. There were msg came out said" game center requires an active connection to the internet"? I didn't feel comfortable because we purchased the game for $1.99 to play for fun and not to gamble. We do have credit card on your file. We don't want to be charged alot of money for something not in our well. I need help to answer the question on the following:
    1.  Are we able to ever play this game again without going to internet? We don't even know which site to go to, because when we press the ok button nothing else came out to direct us to any area.
    2. We only purchased the few days ago order ID: MGT74GN6V7 on 10/03/12. all the other games we purchased we were able to continue to play by doing the same setting.
    Thank you for your help and looking forward to hear from you!

  • Why an insert journal concurrent works for one app user and not for other?

    We have two app users. User A and User B. They have same responsibilities and grants over same functions and menus. When they run  a custom insert journal concurrent, only user A can execute it successfully.
    User B uses same parameters and data  as User A, but when User B  runs concurrent, it  always  fails
    What is the difference between this users?
    How we can check this difference?

    Hi,
    did you check user specific profile option settings as well?
    In addition, it would be helpful to have some more input
    regarding the error which is raised when user B runs the
    concurrent (concurrent log file output).

  • Force client cert only for anyconnect and not for ssl-clientless?

    I need to configure different authentication for anyconnect clients and clients logging in using the ssl portal in the browser.
    I want both AAA and certificate for anyconnect but i want ONLY aaa for the ssl portal (clientless)
    I tried using two tunnel groups with different authentication settings but i need the same alias available for both clientless and anyconnect and when i tried that it said i cant have two with the same alias.

    Did you ever get an answer to this question?
    It seems you should be able to set up a two different client profiles.  Under Authentication, ssl-client would would specify "Both" and the sslclientless would specify AAA.  You would likely have to duplicate much of the other work but the requirement would be satisfied.

  • ICC Profiles for papers and not for HP printers.

    Hello, I apologize if this has been asked a billion times before, but I have been trying to find the ICC profiles to install for a different printer. 
    I am not using a HP printer, but a Canon iP6000D.  Let me explain, I'm a student and my class required me to buy different papers that were not for my original printer and I have to install ICC profiles for the papers I chose. My problem is I cannot find the ICC profiles for the paper I bought on the HP site, it's very unweildy and hard to find here. I had no problem finding my moab printer paper ICC profiles...  HP seems to enjoy hiding their profiles.
    So where would I find the iCC profiles for the Hp premium plus Photo paper that is Soft gloss 8.5x11" 200gm 80lb? I've looked all over and it seems to be impossible to find.

  • Cash Discount Calculated for One Line Item and not for Other

    Hi All,
    We have devloped a Z program which is used to Write of InterCompany AR and AP recon Account to another GL Account. In this program to clear line item we have created a BDC which calls t-code FB05. Thsi program is running perfectly fine for all company codes.
    There is new company code SG20 for which it is not clearing the line items. It has created a Session in SM35, when we analysed the seesin we found that for some line items system is calculating Cash Discount and for some other line items it is not but the payment Term is same for all the douments with 3% 14days.
    I need your help in understanding that why for some line items system calculates the Cash Discout where as for others it is not calculation..also the Posting Date is same for all the documents.
    Please advise what could be the reson for this.
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    VIvek Srivastava

    Hi
    Cash discount is calculated based on the combination of baseline date and payment term conditions.
    Hence please check the baseline date for all the documents, in which the cash discount is not appearing.
    In your case, the possible reasons could be that 1) baseline date is different between these documents or 2) payment terms cash % is manually modified in the line item of the documents.

  • Drill up only works for children and not for descendants

    Hi,
    I have made AW available from bibeans - it means I am using CWM2. But,
    when I created a crosstab, I can only drill up the children but none of
    the descendants. For example,
    i) I have geography dimension in the row edge.
    ii) I can drill down 'World' and see 'USA' and 'CANADA'.
    iii) I can drill down 'USA' and see 'New York' and 'San Francisco'.
    iv) When I drill up 'World', all the descendants of the 'World' should
    be drilled up. But indeed, only 'USA' and 'CANADA' has been drilled
    up and 'New York' and 'San Francisco' are still there in the row edge.
    Does anyone have any idea about this problem? Thank you.
    Best Regards,
    Seiji

  • Use volume button on ZTE Open only for music and not for ringtone/sms/alarm

    I wounder if its possible to override the volume button on the device so it dosent change the ringtone and sms volume? I had this feature on iOS where I can set the ringtone and notification volume then a switch that sad "Change with buttons" = true || false.
    My Android device (Padfone2) did not have this feature and I end up missing calls and sms because you turn the volume up and down when you browse the web, listening to music ect.
    Does someone know if this is possible on my ZTE Open with FFOS 1.1?

    To further explain where the volume controls are going,
    'There's multiple different settings for audio volume:
    * audio.volume.content: Affects the "content" and "normal" audio channels. It's an integer between 0 and 15 where 0 means muted (but not paused).
    * audio.volume.notification: Affects the "notification" and "ringer" channels. It's an integer between 0 and 15.
    * audio.volume.alarm: Affects the "alarm" channel. It's an integer between 0 and 15.
    * audio.volume.telephony: Affects the "telephony" channel. It's an integer between 0 and 5.
    * audio.volume.bt_sco: Volume when bluetooth headset is plugged in. It's an integer between 0 and 15.'
    Take from https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/AudioChannels
    So as per stated before, the Ringer & Notification has a different setting than the Alarm, as well as the Telephony voice and the content as well as blue tooth volume.
    I agree that it can get rather confusing with which volume is getting affected when. In general if the sound is currently going off, then most likely that is what the volume is controlling. We should probably file a bug on somehow getting the volume controlling less confusing.

  • Why labView for LEGO and not for VEX?

    I am a math professor and we are trying to teach math trough robots. The hardware platform we have is VEX and I think that the programming part, at least for us in our dept., will be the most difficult. I did not see any thinng like labView in the VEX platform. Why? Any sugestions?
    Thank you .
    manuel 

    Hello Manuel,
    Unfortunately there are currently no plans to add VEX support for LabVIEW, here's a similar post. Besides support for LEGO, another simple LabVIEW interface we offer is Arduino. If you want to use our extensive robotics options you may have to switch to the LEGO platform. Let me know any questions you have, have a nice weekend!

  • Disable Control Panel for users but NOT for administrators

    I'm unsure why Microsoft has not yet published this information.  I'm sure that sysadmins everywhere want more granular control of the control panel besides disabling for everyone or enabling for everyone, which is what it seems Microsoft wants me and
    you to do, disable CP for everyone, enable it every time I log on as admin and need to use it, then disable again.  Ridiculous.
    I am a consultant for a large company and our partners like to take as much control as possible.  I do too, for that matter.  Last week I began researching how to disable the control panel for everyone except admins.  I am operating under
    the assumption that non-admin accounts do not need access to control panel and it's better if they don't, especially in a production environment where the terminals the users are operating are mission critical.
    Finally, I found the answer.  I hope this helps you because it took me 3 days to finally find it.  It works.  I've tested it with admin and non-admin.  The great thing is, you can control any GP setting for non-admin users in this manner,
    not just the Control Panel.  You could disable any and all functionality not necessary for day to day operations for all your users but still maintain access to everything by logging on as an administrator.
    The question is answered here
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101869-local-group-policies-apply-all-users-except-administrators.html

    Don:
    Sorry for the confusion.  Not sure why my link is bad and yours is good.  They both appear to be identical.
    The issue with executing gpedit.msc is that when you apply a setting, the setting is for all users, even administrators.  If I want to disable access to the control panel, I do so for admins as well when simply executing gpedit.msc, which means if I
    log in and need access to control panel, I have to enable it in GP, do the work necessary and then disable it again (if I remember) when work is complete.  A bit of a drag, especially for busy admins and support techs.  On the other hand, following
    the instructions in the link disables control panel for all users except administrators.  So if I need to work with Control Panel as an admin, I've saved the enable, disable steps and don't have to worry about remembering as well.
    I hope that clarifies.  Thanks for your feedback.
    ok, thanks. I re-read the guide one more time and now I understand the logic - it creates a LocalGPO object, when gpedit.msc is launched in this very special way. It's kind of cool, even if rather niche. (I'm assuming that it only works for LocalGP and not
    for Domain GP).
    I think your original link had a trailing dot, but it's fine now.
    Thanks for clarifying - even after all these years, I am still learning new things :)

  • Is it possible that theseproperties are only available for files and not f

    Hello All,
    I have created few properties like ReqNo (takes Integer) and ReqDate (accepts Date). 
    I have set the above 2 properties as manadatory. Created a Group and added his goug in 'allgroups' such that I see a tab wherein I can fill in these properties.
    My questions is:
    <b>Is it possible that these properties are only available for files and not for folders</b>. The reason being that even if I create a new folder, I need to fill some values in the above two mentioned properties.
    These properties need to be mandatory and cannot make them optional.
    Please help me solve this mystery.
    Awaiting Reply.
    Thanks and Warm Regards,
    Ritu

    Hi Ritu,
    If you only want the property to be available for files and not folders you only enter data into the "Document Validity Patterns" field in the Property config.
