How do the Anti-Phishing and Malware prtection features in Firefox manifest themselves?

You have a MOST interesting and informative e-mail and links to web pages concerning the protective features of Firefox, particularly the pages on Anti-Phishing and Malware.
You direct the user (me) to go to your test web pages and see the process in action.
I went to both pages, the page on Anti-Phishing and on Malware.
'''Firstly''' I did not notice any notice on my Firefox browser (8.0.0). What should or can I do about this?
'''Secondly''': (a) What should I have seen or be looking for to be warned? (b) How does Firefox warn me? (c) Is there anything I should or can do?
My settings under "Options" are set as you advise.
Sincerely

Hi Tylerdowner,
About malware - software that sends personal data about the user to unauthorized parties over the Internet.
1. There is transfer of personal data to third parties.
2. I'm not agree to use this feature and therefore these third parties are unauthorized.
3. This feature is not completely removable and it remains passively like a backdoor.
Finally from 1,2,3 it's enough to claim that it is malware
Bellow is the full and exact citation from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/malware
Malicious computer software that interferes with normal computer functions or sends personal data about the user to unauthorized parties over the Internet.

Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti viru and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

As KP has pointed out, there actually aren't any anti-virus programs in the App Store. There are a few that allow you to scan e-mail or stuff like that, and a few that provide you with information about malware and new threats for other systems. But none are available that can scan your iOS device for malware, because the security restrictions in iOS do not permit any apps to have that kind of access to anything. Which means that you also cannot be infected with a virus (unless you have jailbroken your device).
If your account got compromised, that had nothing whatsoever to do with your iPad. Someone simply hacked it remotely. Happens all the time. It's really amazing that, in this day and age, e-mail providers are so ignorant of technology and how their own systems get compromised that they would try to require you to run software that does not exist!

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

I started downloading an update without knowing how big the file was and when I found out how big it was decided I didn't want it because I probably won't use it. how do I stop, not pause, the download and remove the file?

I started downloading an update for iphoto and imovie without realizing how big the file was and I really don't want these updates because I probably won't use them. I've paused the updates but don't know how to cancel them. Please let me know how to do so.

Forex Qs: ob08 How do the Indir Quot and Dir Quot work?

I have 3 currencies, said IDR (Local currency), HKD (Doc currency), and CHF (Group currency)
How to read these currencies in the ob08?
I key in HKD100, and I get 114,460 IDR and 15.03 CHF, and I check document, and found that the exrate for HKD/IDR is /0.87365.
Could anyone guide me how to read the ob08, and How do the Indir Quot and Dir Quot work? How can system generate HKD/IDR: -> /0.87365.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
First let us understand what the direct quote and Indirect quote is.
Direct quote means when one unit of Foreing currency if translated result into how many units of local currency.
Local currency is the company code currency what u would have defined for your company.
In your case it looks like IDR is the local currency. So all other currency u enter in the system is treated as Foreign currency. So HKD is foreign currency.
Direct Quote: One unit oh HKD is equal to 0.87365
When you are posting a document either u can give your exchange rate if it is available or else system will apply the average rate(Rate typeM) stored in the table(OB08)
In your example it appears system wold habe taken the rate from the exchange rate table.
Then the indirect quotation is how many unit of local currency u will get for each unit of foreign currency.I IDR=how much HDK it is the reverse of Direct quote.
The concept of Group currency is used if a client is having different company code having different co code currency. Then to consolidate the accounts group currency comes in to picture.

I need know how operate the tables RSBKDTP and RSBKDTPH

hi, i need know how operate the tables RSBKDTP and RSBKDTPH. i need kwon things like:
- the diference between this tables
- How operate the table RSBKDTPH and RSBKDTP ? What type the DTP's are inserted in this tables? How often are inserted DTP's in this tables?.
Thanks in advanced

The basic difference is
RSBKDTP - retrieves based on Object version (DTP and OBJVERS are keyfields)
RSBKDTPH - retrieves based on Time stamp (DTP and timestamp are keyfields)
according to your requirement you can consider the tables for statical reports on DTPs

Is the default "Subscribe to This Page" feature within Firefox a RSS Reader?

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know whether the default "Subscribe to This Page" feature within Firefox is a RSS Reader?
For example, I want to subscribe to certain blogs etc., and my research suggested I install Feedly ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/feedly/]), which I now have. However, I noticed whilst playing around that within Firefox, the feature to subscribe to a page offers this too - but is the Firefox feature the same as a RSS Reader?
Thanks in advance
Y2J

Really, most RSS readers are the same.
In the past I have used the Firefox RSS reader to setup live bookmarks. 
Currently I use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rss-icon-in-awesombar/?src=userprofile RSS Icon In Awesombar] add-on. It functions the same as the default Firefox feature, but to save space I want the button in the location bar.
You can use whatever one you want. As said above, it really doesn't matter.

How do I troubleshoot the Phishing and Malware filters?

I checked my options, and all the blocks are in place in the security options, and there are no exceptions in the add-on exception list. I only have a small number of add-ons, like flash, quicktime, and adblock plus.
The problem? When I go to the test sites for a phishing site and malware site, I am brought to the pages without the expected warning.
Is there something I'm missing? Some other way to test the filter?

Use the old test links instead
*http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-a-trap.html <-- try clicking this ---
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-an-attack.html
It should work when you upgrade to Firefox 10.0.1 which will be released probably on Friday.
What is failing is the test site rather than the process due to Firefox changing the locations of the test pages and the database they are using. ( [/forums/contributors/708095 a related discussion])

How do I properly emulate the old statusbar and some other features?

I can see the "statusbar issue" have been discussed a lot, but couldn't find a satisfying answer.
I haven't used Internet Explorer for several years in benefit to Firefox. I hope I can keep it that way while I am also able to stay up to date at the same time.
After recently updated my FF 3.6(I think) to 4.0.1, and plenty of time trying to customize the new looks and location of bars and buttons etc to my likings, I need help with a few things:
1. How do I disable the "link hover preview bar" and make it appear on the Add-on Bar(the old statusbar replacement)?
2. How do I remove the X(close button) on the Add-on bar? I don't know if its only me, but something at the back of my head mistakes it for a pop-up or something else that needs to be closed. Very annoying to have to re-enable it every time.
3. How do I put a "border" around the new Add-on bar so it doesn't look like an extension of the webpage im currently at? The lack of a border might be the reason why I subconsciously think it's a popup. But even so, I still see no reason for the X.
4. The new colorless buttons/icons makes it easy to miss click (they all look too similar now), can I get them old ones back?
5. How do I make the Reload button and Stop button stay separate buttons instead of one combined button?
6. Lastly, I am used to have a button at the right side of the last tab to open a new tab. Now I need to add another button at the top instead. Or can I get the old "open new tab" feature back somehow?
Thank you for your time.

'''Question 1''' 
Install the '''''Status-4-Evar''''' extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ 
After install,
#Be sure the Add-on Bar is displayed;
#*click Firefox button, click Add-on Bar to place a check mark
#*if using the Menu Bar, click View > Toolbars, click to check "Add-on Bar"
#In the Customize Toolbar window
#*Open Customize Toolbar window
#**Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
#**if using the Menu Bar, View > Toolbars > Customize
#*drag any or all of the 3 items to the position you want them on the Add-on Bar:
#**'''Status text''' (this will display the website address while loading and "Done" when the page has completed loading in the Add-on Bar instead of as a "tooltip" type display in the lower left corner)
#**'''Download status''' (will display No Downloads or number of downloads in progress)
#**'''Progress meter''' (progress of page loading)
'''Questions 2 & 3'''
#Set the options for Status-4-Evar
#*click Firefox button, click Add-ons, click Extensions, scroll down and click Options next to Status-4-Evar
#*if using the Menu bar, click Tools, click Add-ons, click Extensions, scroll down and click Options next to Status-4-Evar
#*In the Options window for Status-4-Evar, click on "Add-on Bar" on the top
#**un-check "Show the close button" to remove the Add-on Bar close (X) button
#**check "Use alternate toolbar borders" to place a 1 pixel border across the top of the Add-on Bar
#***You can also do this with a userChrome.css addition and you can color the Add-on Bar, but it is a bit involved. If you want some basic instructions, post back and I will try to provide the information.
'''Question 4'''
You can add this Extension to get some color toolbar buttons similar to Firefox 3.6:
*'''''Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
'''Question 5'''
#Firefox 4.0 has a '''''combined''''' Go/Reload/Stop button that is positioned at the far right of the location bar.
#*During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
#*You can middle-click that button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
#*In Firefox 4.0 you can move the Stop/Reload button out of the location bar and put them wherever you want on the toolbar. You can also make them appear as separate buttons on the toolbar.
#**click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
#**if using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
#** Swap the two buttons by dragging them or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
#** If the order is "Reload - Stop" you will get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
#** Swap the order (by dragging) to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (like inserting another button or a "Space" or "Separator" between them) to get two distinct buttons.
'''Question 6'''
There should be a "+" to the right of the last tab by default. If it is not there, open the "Customize Toolbar" window:
*click Firefox button, click Options, click Toolbar Layout
*if using the Menu Bar, click View, click Toolbars, click Cutomize
look for a "New Tab" icon and drag it to the end of the Tab Bar while the Customize Toolbar window is open. You may need to "Restore the default toolbar set". See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back%20and%20forward%20or%20other%20toolbar%20items%20are%20missing 
What Add-on did you install for the Open New Tab button on the toolbar? Did it disable the "+" on the Tab bar?

How will the ipad batery and screen like this ???

hi!
i plan on using my ipad in the dental surgery i am working in to stand most of the time on a dock.
while standing on a dock i want it to run movies or slideshows with special offers, before after pictures etc and then i want to take it off the dock several times a day to show the patient his or her pictures i took before to explain findings.
how would the screen like to run 8 hours a day? would it be bad?
how would the batteries react to the ipad running 8 hours a day, most of the time on a dock with power supply but several times a day 5-10 min battery powered. would the battery have a new loading cyce every time i put the ipad back on the dock? would this use reduce the battery life of it?

Most battery suppliers of Nickle-Metal Hydride batteries say leaving them on a charger all the time shortens battery life...but you really have to ask what does that mean with respect to the planned life of the display you are planning. Your own plans for changing to another display approach may make that concern moot.
Apple provides this information on the iPad batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
An important part of that is the recommendation of monthly complete charge cycles: drain the battery all the way, the unit shutsdown automatically at a charge level of 1%, or so. Then recharges on wall power to full charge. You could probably do that with a single days' usage as you have described.
Since the unit would be constantly changing images, you would not have to worry about anything like display damage from burning pixels like you do with computer monitors.
Why not get one and try it out and see what the patient reaction is? Sounds like a clever use to me.

How toStore the Date Variable and pass it when the program runs next time??

HI All,
My JDBC program basically needs two command line args. Rabge_Start_Dt and Range_End_Dt. for ex:
2001-05-31 and 2001-06-01 . And my porgram should run every day. Next day the date range will be 2001-06-01 to some date. It means I have to store some how the range_end_dt and pass it as range_start_dt when my program runs the next day.
Problem:
How can I store the Data variable and pass it as an argument to my porgram when It runs next time. Every time my pogram runs It should pick the range start_dt (==range_end_dt of the previuos run) and end_dt I have to go and query some other data base and pass that value to it.
Thanks in advance!!!!

save the value in a file, then read it back in each day. Similar to when a process needs a PID.

How does the crop-lock and "Effect" settings logic work?

The crop lock and Effect setting have in common the fact that they are unpredictable with a strange logic I have yet to figure out. Questions:
What decision process causes the crop lock to remain locked, and then suddenly decide to stay open from one use to the next (Or the reverse).?
What makes the "Effects" decide to retain its last used settings, and sometimes not? (Usually the last customized setting is NOT what I want for the next photo in line to be edited).
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply!
richardplondon wrote:
There is no distinction betwen edited and un-edited. And the tools and controls do not have any defaults of their own aside from what the images possess. You can't put the crop tool on 3:2 and then move from image to image clicking "apply"; this is simply not how the LR interface works.
Understood, except that these settings are an exception. The effects settings will be stuck in the last positions they where on before you created the edit button. See attached photo for what I mean by edit buttons and associated settings. This also applies to graduated filters.
This is difficult to describe. I think I've figured out the logic but cant understand why anyone would want it to work this way: If I choose a setting *before* making the first mark (i.e. new button) with the tool, those settings will persist forever until I change them (even if I change catalogs). If I change the settings AFTER applying the tool, they are forgotten even if I want to keep them. I never want a custom setting to persist into the next photo because the last tool/setting I used will not likely be the first tool used in the next photo.
And just to be clear, the effects I'm referring to are on the right. The timing of WHEN you adjust those settings determines whether or not they persist in what I consider an undesirable way. In other words, in order to avoid messing up the presets, I must always start the tool before adjusting the effects. That is the only way to keep them from persisting into the next tool/button operation.

Flash - how is the HD support - and HUGE image resolution question

Hello Flash Forums,
It's been a while since I posted, but I would love to get some information from some of the old pros on here as to best practices using flash for large scale environmental displays:
1. Flash supports High Definition correct? I did a google search, and see that it does - but unsure whether I need a plug-in or it's just a setting? My question is more along the lines of - can the flash animation be highDef, or only the videos it displays?
2. I am working on a very large (like 40ft tall) environmental graphic, and curious if anyone can tell me how you deal with images at that size? I remember vaugely, that they don't need to be 300dpi, but do i still need to maintain a certain resolution?
Thanks for any help you can provide~!
B

Any limiting factors you'll be dealing with are likely more to do with what will actually be running/playing your Flash content and feeding that to this display. Whoever is responsible for setting up the computer system that displays this could answer that. Find out the resolution of their display set up. It will probably be a projection setup, that shows whatever media at a blown-up size. Ask them if 1080 HD video will work, and if they have used that before, and how did it look, etc.
If the display ends up having a resolution of something significantly higher than what a graphic designer's "high" resolution monitor is, you don't necessarily have to have your Flash showing at 100% and fill all those pixels. You can have good results creating your Flash at a reasonale width & height, and then scaling that to 150%, 200%, etc.
Flash has no problems dispalying 1080 HD video, and nothing is needed other than the Flash plugin. There continue to be Flash Player updates for improved video support, so be sure you get the latest version installed on whatever computer is playing this. YouTube started showing full HD size (1080) a while ago, and so you can always refer to that site to see how smooth the videos are.

How do the AbstractTableModel, ColumnModel and TableCellRenderer interact?

could someone please explain to me how the AbstractTableModel, TableColumnModel and the TableCellRenderer interact?
That is, if I have a table which used a custom AbstractTableModel, and a custom TableCellRenderer, then how do I cause the renderer to render the correct data?
Do I have to manually invoke it from my table model? does it get called automatically for every column/row combination?
also if I want to add a column to the table and I use:
TableColumnModel's addColumn(TableColumn colum), do I have to invoke AbstractTableModel's fireTableStructureChanged() as well?
Also, I implemented AbstractTableModel's
Object valueAt(int row, int column)
but that method is never invoked in my code. Is that ok?
int getRowCount(), and int getColumnCount() are invoked on the other hand.
nir

I misspelled the name of the method.
I was using Object getValueAt(int row, int column)...
still this method is never invoked (I have debug messages there and they are never shown).
And I am setting the default renderer...
Here is my ccode:
   // this is how I define my table and table model.
   // PlayerTableDataModel is class implementing AbstractTableModel
   // dataSource is the object that will supply the data that will be presented in the table.
   PlayerTableDataModel tableModel = new PlayerTableDataModel(dataSource);
   table = new JTable(tableModel);
   table.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false);
   tableModel.setTable(table);
   table.setDefaultRenderer(RoundResult.class, new RoundResultRenderer(dataSource));
   table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);Here is my PlayerTableDataModel class:
public class PlayerTableDataModel extends AbstractTableModel
    private DataSource dataSource;
    private JTable table;
    public PlayerTableDataModel(DataSource dataSource) {
     super();
     this.dataSource; = dataSource;;
    // This is the method I invoke when I want to dynamically add a new column to the table.
    public void addNewColumn(GameTableHeaderRenderer headerRenderer) {
     TableColumn newColumn = new TableColumn(getColumnCount());
     newColumn.setHeaderRenderer(headerRenderer);
     newColumn.setResizable(true);
     TableColumnModel cm = table.getColumnModel();
     cm.addColumn(newColumn);
     fireTableStructureChanged();
    public void setTable(JTable table) {
     this.table = table;
    public int getRowCount() {
     return dataSource.getNumRoundsPlayed();
    public int getColumnCount() {
     if (table == null) {
         return 0;
     return dataSource.numberOfPlayers();
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
     System.out.println("this is never shown");
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return false;
    // I want each cell in the table to hold an object of class RoundResult
    public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
     return RoundResult.class;
}why do I have to implement getValueAt(), if it is never invoked?
