How do you guys handle the warmth?

I'm just wondering, how do people use the keyboard over long periods of time when running processor intensive tasks. For example most games seem to increase the temp of my Macbook to over 70C and having my hand over the keyboard/palmrest starts to feel uncomfortable very quicly. Never gets hot, but just warm enough for it to feel clammy. After 15mins I find it's too uncomforatble.
I keep persisting hoping I get used to the heat, but still feels as bad as ever. Any tips. Am I being too sensitive and is it something you just have to get used to?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I use a Roadtools Pivot 360 to keep my laptop elevated just a bit so it gets pleanty of airflow under and all over. There are a lot of similar products as well, so be sure to shop around for one you like.
As for the palm rest. I work all day on my laptop and after work I play games like World of Warcraft. Plenty of time for my laptop to get heated up. But really I don't even notice. I think each person just must have a differant tolerance to heat. You can consider a product like the Marware palmrest sticker that is thin foam that it a little soft too. But then I wonder if it is acting as a slight insalation keeping you slightly cooler at the expense of the laptop.
Lastly there is the complaint a lot of peopl have about the edges being "sharp". Well, they are a bit. But that is nothing better typing posture won't cure. After all, when typing, you should not have a palm rest. Palms up.

How do you guys upgrade the DDL of your apps?

This is to start a brainstorming discussion, just like the one you would have between DBAs and developers around the watercooler...
I am considering revamping the way DDL upgrades are done in-house. I was wondering how you guys go about doing that, whether you are an Independent Software Vendor or the developer for an in-house application.
if you're an ISV, how do you supply and implement new versions of your DDL to your customers?
if you are responsible for the development/maintenance of an in-house application, how do you carry out your DDL upgrades?
I would like your responses to be around the methods and the tools you use to upgrade the SQL code (mainly the DDL) of your applications.
Looking forward to everyone's input.

In a modern application, a developer should seriously consider Edition Based Redefinition (EBR) - a feature (comes with the database) every customer has since 11g R2. With EBR, have the ability to install new versions of your code (plsql, triggers, views, synonyms -etc) in the database without impacting (blocking, locking, overwriting) the existing version. So you can install version 2 of your application while version 1 is still running.
Additionally - taking it a step further - if you put editioning views in place (a special kind of view that allows you to only select from a single table, no where clause, just a select list - sort of like a synonym with a select list), you can achieve many online DDL upgrades as well.
for example, let's say you wanted to add a new index to a table, change the format of an existing column from number to varchar2 (to allow for alpha-numeric values in the future) and drop an existing column that is no longer needed - you could (assuming the editioning views are in place):
a) create a new edition as a child of an existing edition. It'll be as if you copied all of your code/synonyms/etc - you haven't, but it will feel like it
b) add a new column of type varchar2. (this column will NOT be visible to version 1 at all in any way)
c) put in place a forward edition trigger that will take any modification of the existing number column and reflect it in the new varchar2 column
d) use dbms_parallel_execute to update the existing number column to itself ,this update can commit every 100 rows or so (no locking issues really) and will cause the new varchar2 column to be populated for all existing rows. any new rows added by version 1 of the application will automagically be reflected
e) in version 2, create a new editioning view that selects out the right columns from the table (don't select the number, select the varchar2 and alias it as the old column name if you want)
f) put your new plsql/synonyms/grants whatever in place in version2
g) create an invisible index on the table you wanted to index - you can do this online. the index will be invisible so it won't affect ANY existing query plans (you haven't tested the old sql with it - you just know that version 2 likes having it)
Now version 1 is running and version 2 is ready to go. Easiest way to roll out would be to schedule a tiny maintenance window - alter the databases default edition to version 2, make the index visible and restart your app servers. the are now running version 2
a) drop/set unused the old number column
b) get rid of the forward edition trigger

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
There were 2000 songs to go through
So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
Can we do it with iTunes?
I know we can do it with Nero.

1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
2) Download your music into iTunes.
NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
yet.
3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
box.
4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
up blue.
5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
playlist.

How do you guys reduce noise in Canon 5d mark II video?

I am really interested to know if anybody could give me leads on how to reduce noise in 5d mark II videos. First off - Canon 5d mark II stock HD bitrate is not really nice. Even shooting in day time I have color noise and a lot of noise in shadow areas. Its only after I played with ML 2.3 and tried to shoot 1080p vid on CBR 1.4x mode (thats the maximum bitrate supported by my present CF card but planning to buy a new one).
How do you guys deal with it?

Tests have been done that show ISO settings in multiples of 160 produce the least amount of noise on video. Starting at 160 the 5Dmkii produces less noise than even at lower ISO settings of even 100 ISO. 160, 320, 480(500), 640 and so on. If you need ISO settings of a lot higher and the noise becomes obvious there is video noise reduction software that could help.

How do you guys work around this trivial situation?

Hi,
I'm using GlassFish v2 and JSF 1.2.
Since JSP can be run using the direct url of the JSP page and the JSF pages require some prefix like "/faces/" how do you guys deal with situations
when somebody accesses the direct link of the JSF (that means without typing "faces/") ? - I noticed that GlassFish throws an error in this case which must be addressed I think.
Any hint or constructive comment would be highly appreciated. Or is this an open problem when using JSF?

Well thank you a lot, I did more googling before finding your second reply and found some info about filters, I will check your links as well and
see if I can polish my solution based on your links.
For those who might look for solving the same issue:
I added to web.xml this (my faces are prefixed with "/fx" rather than "/faces", a matter of taste):
<filter>
          <filter-name>JsfFilter</filter-name>
          <filter-class>xlinuks.JsfFilter</filter-class>
          <init-param>
               <param-name>search_token</param-name>
               <param-value>.jsp</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <init-param>
               <param-name>add_token</param-name>
               <param-value>/fx</param-value>
          </init-param>
     </filter>
     <filter-mapping>
          <filter-name>JsfFilter</filter-name>
          <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>And the filter itself is this:
package xlinuks;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class JsfFilter implements Filter {
     private FilterConfig filterConfig;
     private String sSearchToken, sAddToken;
     public void doFilter( ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain ) throws ServletException, IOException {
          HttpServletRequest httpReq = (HttpServletRequest) request;
          String sUri = httpReq.getRequestURI();
          if( (sAddToken == null) || (sSearchToken == null) ) {
               chain.doFilter( request, response );
               return;
          int iIndex = sUri.indexOf( sSearchToken );
          if( (iIndex > -1) && (sUri.indexOf( sAddToken ) < 0) ) {
               sUri = sAddToken + sUri.substring( sUri.lastIndexOf( "/" ) );
               filterConfig.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(sUri).forward(request, response);
               return;
          } else {
               chain.doFilter(request, response);
     public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
          this.filterConfig = filterConfig;
          sSearchToken = filterConfig.getInitParameter( "search_token" );
          sAddToken = filterConfig.getInitParameter( "add_token" );
     public void destroy() {
          filterConfig = null;
}

How are you guys powering your laptops in your cars ???

Hi guys,
Although I have been using computers since the first pc appeared, I only recently decided to get a laptop. I got a Lenovo B560 and have been absolutely delighted with it.
However, I am perplexed at the fact that there does not seem to be any easy options for using the laptop in the car on long trips etc ? I do not see any type of 12 volt adapter listed in the accessories ?? A google search shows a few "generic" brand power converters but I have always been leary of using anything but oem type equipment.
Anyway, how are you guys powering your machines while mobile ??
Thanks,
Bill

Your tip size is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, 19volts, and your current adapter is 90watts, right?
Your tip size is the same as what is in the y450, y460, y550p, y550, y560, and the y730.
The y730 is listed under the adapter listed above as taking the 4R 4319 tip, which is the same size as yours.
The tip, Pt. # 46 4319 is listed as an optional tip for the ultraslim adapter, Pt. #4IN8460, that tip has to be ordered separately from the adapter, it doesn't come with it.
Scroll to the bottom of the link for the adapter and you'll see the listing for the 19 volt tip, pt. #4R 4319.
All this is assuming that you have integrated graphics.

How do you guys do remote access?

Hi All,
I have a customer with a MAC at both office and home. When she is a home she would like to remote into her work computer (okay'ed by her boss) to work on various things (she is a graphics artist).
How do you guys do remote access? Do you have anything like Linux's XRDP?
What ports and what protocol (TCP, UDP) do you use?
Many thanks,

So something like Goodreader or Dropbox would work...if the files are *.doc's you could use Quick Office Pro HD to edit them. An iPad probably isn't the place to do complicated edits, however...either of these apps will allow a file local to the iOS device to be stored, then sent to another app such as Quick Office Pro HD...or you could also have the files stored in an email folder in say, Outlook, and then have that folder sync to the iOS device OTA with the iOS Exchange client...

If you don't see the radio icon on the home screen, it is likely just turned off in the settings. Go to

There you will see radio listed. Make sure that the slider is set to ON.

Hi Roger:
Thanks for the reply. I think I figured out the problem. Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have. In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID. I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID. There are Apple IDs with various attributes. This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account. That makes no sense to me.
Thanks for your help!

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.
