How are you liking your iBrick? Ive had mine for 79 hours now!

Listen everyone this is important.
DONT WAIT FOR AN E-MAIL!!!
Call them as many times as you can because there is most likely something wrong with your account!
If you continue waiting for that e-mail you have a better change of getting hit by lightning 40 times in a row on a blue sky day. Because it WONT COME since there may be something wrong with your account.
Here is what happened to me- it wasn't pretty. A loyal customer of AT&T for 7 years... the first to ask them about the iPhone in January, the first in line, and the LAST to get activated.
After calling them, I found out these problems- each from a different call, each from a different person.
1- My business account froze the system and prevented me from receiving an activation
2- I was on the old "blue" network instead of the "orange" network. I've been a loyal AT&T customer for 7 years and didnt find this out until now, this also prevented me from getting an e-mail (and they are now charging me $40 more a month to have the exact same plan... then add $30 more per month for the data plan!!)
3-After all the rigmarole over there, the AT&T reps forgot to activate my data plan... whups!
4-There was a random system error associated with my account which also prevented the e-mail
5-They had the wrong sim card going in for activation somehow.
and the granddaddy...
6-The idiots at the cingular store accidentally deactivated my sim card in my iPhone.
Wow- I'm glad AT&T doesn't perform open heart surgery, because I would be dead as soon as I set foot in the waiting room.
My advice if your phone still isnt working... Go to your AT&T store and ask them for a clean blank sim card and start over. I did it and my phone popped on within 5 minutes!!! Waiting around for 79 hours for something that I resolved MYSELF in 5 minutes!!
I hope this helps someone if anyone.
I hope this disproves that the switch theory applies to EVERYONE ON THE PLANET
the iPhone is beautiful

I finally got my number ported over from Sprint this morning, but it took a phone call to AT&T to make it happen. I received my email two days ago stating that my Sprint number was transferring to my iPhone and that I'd receive an email when the transfer was complete. In the mean time, I could use my iPhone for outgoing calls but I would be unable to receive them. So, I kept my Sprint phone on so I could receive phone calls.
Turned out that the hangup was me keeping my old Sprint phone on so I could receive phone calls. Within a minute of turning it off, I received an SMS message stating that my number transfer was complete and I could make calls as well as receive them on the iphone. The AT&T support tech called my iPhone to confirm that it would in fact receive calls.
Had I known this two days ago... (sigh).

    It seems the same as my 4s just thinner. My camera sucks too.

  • If you've upgraded to the Rev. 1 router how are you liking it?

    If you've upgraded to the Rev. 1 router how are you liking it over the old one that you had? Wired speeds aside are you getting more or less wireless speeds or not much difference? This of course applies if your wireless cards can handle the higher speeds.
    Range any better?
    Looking for feedback as I'm still deciding if I want to upgrade my Westell 7100 to the Rev. 1 because I'd have to upgrade my pc's network card as well.

    I assume you mean REV I (letter i) .  Speed is better range is about the same.
    I that case then cheaper and more likely better to just purchase your own router/wap and and it to the internal network.
    I you don't have tv as part of your package then could request to change to ethernet connection from ont and just replace the westell with your own router.

  • How are you keeping your Apple keyboards clean in student labs?

    I might be able to manage the software with ARD - but how do you clean out the keyboards? It's like they were built as dirt collectors.
    And - Can ARD be used to admin. Macs on different vlans within a Win 2000 & 2003 server env.? Any tips, tricks re: this?
    Thanks!

    I might be able to manage the software with ARD - but how do you clean out the keyboards? It's like they were built as dirt collectors.
    It's pretty much impossible to keep computer lab keyboards clean unless you use a keyboard skin. Otherwise, you just have to wipe them down and blow them out every now and then and hope for the best.
    Can ARD be used to admin. Macs on different vlans within a Win 2000 & 2003 server env.?
    Yes. No special "tricks" are necessary; just set the ARD scanner to scan the appropriate range in the VLAN so you can see and add the computers and it should work without problems (we have multiple VLANs here and ARD works just fine).

  • How are you outputting your 24fps projects to tape?

    Hi There,
    I am just looking for any input on how everyone is laying down there 24fps projects to tape? We have found a method that seems to be working - but is very tedious and not perfect...
    Here is the lowdown:
    1080p23.98 ProRes HQ sequence -----> outputting to Kona LHe Card -----> To Sony DVW-A500 D-Beta Deck.
    At this point, we are getting the Kona card to add the pulldown because of the dramatic increase in quality over FCP - BUT because we are going from a NDF timecode to a DF format there are the obvious sync and drift issues.
    So here is what we did:
    - created a sequence with the exact same settings as our normal FCP output sequence (1080p23.98) and dropped in an hour of bars with TC reader.
    - Output this sequence to tape.
    - The use the deck to go to the all the in and out point timecodes we will need - ON THE DECK ITSELF. Then check the broadcast monitor, to see what the timecode on the bars reads and insert a marker in the timeline for our inpoint and outpoint.
    This way, although our output sequence looks a little funny in FCP (say for example, one minute or bars will actually look 2 frames short) by the time it goes to tape with the pull down inserted, it ends up the right length.
    Now, the problem we are having is we can only seem to get as close as being a half frame from perfect. Our 1 frame two beep will either enter a half frame early or a half frame late, depending on where it is located in FCP - up until now we have always just accepted this, but it can be frustrating because it makes inserting any changes in an episode not possible. This is the same regardless of whether the tape was pre-striped and episodes inserted OR Assembled to tape.
    If anyone has any alternates that are working better for them, it would be greatly appreciated!
    NOTE: Outputting a 29.97 NDF tape is NOT a valid option - because aside from commercials, this would never be accepted by a broadcaster.
    Thanks again.

    No such thing as a "half frame" in video. Audio, yes, video...no. Full frames only.
    This is what I used to do:
    http://lfhd.blogspot.com/2006/09/online-workflow-overview.html
    This is what I do now:
    http://lfhd.net/2008/10/22/timecode-calculator/
    Figure out what my NDF timing has to be to hit the proper DF timing when outputting. But if I had to meet Discovery/NatGeo specs of needing commercials to hit on 00 frames...then I wouldn't work in 23.98 NDF timelines...nor shooting formats.

  • How are you immersing your kids in technology?

    My kids are kind of techine nerds like me.
    My son (12) wants to start up a Kickstarter or similar page to fund a new  super computer and software needed to start his own Twitch channel.

    Spicy moms and dads, this thread is for you! (Okay, I guess it can be for spicy aunts and uncles too...)Children nowadays have no shortage of high tech toys to play with... I've seen three year olds with iPads and seven year olds that teach their parents how to use a laptop. And don't even get me started on the ages of some of these kids that have smartphones. All of this is a true sign of the times. But in addition to the basic technology, there are so many different tools to teach kids about the technology they're using and how to code. One fun tool I came across this week is something calledLocoRobo. LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!What child wouldn't want to learn with this thing?! Even I want to play around with it. So what does this thing do? It's goal is to teach kids how to become programmers. LocoRobo is just a start up but they're...

  • How are you liking the new calendar with the new os?

    I am trying to work with the new calendar on my ipad. this new system has added steps that I think are not necessary. for example when I want to see my day I now have to go to the magnifying glass to see it, rather than just touching the day itself. more confuising. any one else?

    Hi Scott
    I tend to use the control center as little as I need to, generally do as much as I can from designer. Ideally the panels and options in control center would have just been available from the designer, but it is still needed for certain deployment options and so forth. Haven't seen the component pallette
    I do like the new interface, have now been using it longer than most. Interested to hear what operations you find different/unusual.
    There are some changes with the menu system such as the gallery that made changes in some of the behavior like when a time dimension is created, you have to use new via the gallery to see the option to create the time dimension (as opposed to just being on the menu..new time dimension). Another example is creating a Gateway location type, you now have to use new (via gallery) to create a DB2 Gateway Location, since the new location via the DB2 node will create a location for use with the code template maps - if you create a module and use the location created via the wizard it will be of the correct type.
    Cheers

  • How do you get your experts with negative stance for new things / innovations to HANA

    We have over 50 ABAP developer (senior experts). Primarily we develop in the old core module (SD, MM, FI, CO, HR, PP, CS, IH, PS) on ERP systems / business suite.
    We have three groups of developer:
    Group 1: They can’t await to work on new architectures – they’re open for all and have fun to work as a pioneer and dig in the deep of the system
    Group 2: For this developer it’s all the same – for this people it’s not a problem to go to a other architectures
    Group 3: They have no interest
    to work in new architectures
    to spend time to learn new things
    they are very closed for new things
    they have for all topics bad statements
    I am part of the group 1. In my opinion in the IT it’s normal to spend much time at new topics in free time to keep up to date. New topics / innovative things make the developer job very exciting. For me it’s regular process – and that’s my own passion .
    Since two month we have our own HANA system in our data centre as play field :-) (business suite on SAP HANA). I’ve some colleagues who made the HANA certification – and we made the first steps in our system. For group 1 and group 2 everything is okay and they’ve fun .
    We have problems with the group 3. They find every hair in the soup – they spend very much time to search arguments against HANA. That’s our “negative group” . We copied our SAP System to a new system and made a technical migration. Now they compare the SAP System, which is based on an oracle datebase, with the new SAP System which is based on a HANA System. They go through the standard ERP process (offer / order / purchase order / goods movements / delivery / MM invoice / SD invoice / material master data / customer master data / vendor master data / conditions / financial bookings / etc.). They main argument is, that they can’t see a grow up of the performance / the added value of the invest / etc. Our other problem is that the group of this people have experience over 20 years in ABAP developing – and their opinion have a high weight. The other arguments: IBM and oracle are working on similar architectures – and we can hold on on the open sqlsyntax / on the present coding.
    Have you similar problems to get the acceptance of group 3?
    Have you tips / tricks for us?
    Have you ideas for catching the group 3?
    What standard components are really optimized for HANA?
    In which standard components can we see a really performance grow up?
    There are standard use cases to see the differences?
    Which data volume do we need in the data model to see the differences?
    What can we do to take the group 3 with us?
    How can we open the group 3 for innovations?

    Hi,
    Please find my reply below.
    1. Have you similar problems to get the acceptance of group 3?
    In IT world we have similar groups. Only results help this group3. I would suggest showcasing on results.
    2. Have you tips / tricks for us?
    As you mentioned in your email, you already have HANA System to play with. So I would suggest looking at high performance transactions like MRP run and FICO Month-end Close.
    3. Have you ideas for catching the group 3?
    SAP has few use cases. Take-up these use cases build data models and use in ERP.
    4. What standard components are really optimized for HANA?
    Recently in our organization we replaced database from DB2 with HANA. Now our SAP ECC is running on HANA. Straight away we have seen 30% of performance improvement in all the transactions. SAP is providing optimized SAP Transactions and there is significant performance improvement and SAP Road Map clearly talks about providing more optimized SAP Transactions on top of HANA to its customers.
    We tried to push some of our high performance code to DB layer by creating the Data Models and using those views in SAP ABAP Programs or Transactions. This gave us significant performance improvement.
    Please refer to below document. This has list of standard optimized transactions.
    Link
    5. In which standard components can we see a really performance grow up?
    This blog throws light on following high performance transactions.
    Link
    6. There are standard use cases to see the differences?
    Use Case
    7. Which data volume do we need in the data model to see the differences?
    MRP run transaction has huge performance issue you can work on MRP Run data model.
    8. What can we do to take the group 3 with us?
    Only Proof of Concepts (POC) results will help to take this group.
    9. How can we open the group 3 for innovations?
    As per your email, I feel group 3 is most demotivated group. I would suggest to talk to each individual and understand there areas of interest and try to put them in their areas of interest. As per my experience this will give good results.

    My X server just shut down leaving me with a black screen full of messages, mostly relating to vlc.

    Hm, maybe someone decided to get all funny with their error messages like the OB devs did... or maybe it was the other way around.
    The most likely cause is that this message is a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) trap - a message that is printed to std{out|err} when the app crashes, since OB prints the AYB when it's crashed too.
    You can actually segfault apps manually with `kill -SIGSEGV <PID>' or killall -SIGSEGV <processname>'
