How do you handle mixes of widescreen(16:9) and fullscreen(4:3)?

Okay I have a native Fullscreen(4:3) (FS from now on) that has a widescreen (16:9) (WS from now on) mode. I am primarily using the widescreen mode for shooting but on my Panasonic using the WS mode disables the image stabilization. You have to flip back to FS to turn on stabilization. The result is I have tapes that are mainly WS but have scenes, or clips, that are FS.
When I create a new iMovieHD (ver 5) project I choose DV Widescreen as the video format. Most of the video is fine but the FS parts are stretched. If I just choose DV all the WS footage is crammed into FS and only the FS shots look right. What I would like is to use WS format and have any FS content pillarboxed.
2 part question:
1> Is there a way to do this in iMovieHD ver 5?
2>If no on 1 is this something that is better handled in ver 6? Might be a good excuse to buy iLife 06.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
The following works for me in iMovie HD 6 ..try it and see if it works in iMovie HD 5, but I'm not sure (..I've forgotten..) if drag'n'drop between projects works in HD5; I don't think HD5 allows two projects to be open simultaneously. If not, you may need to Ctrl-click (..using the Finder..) on your 4:3 project to 'Show Package Contents', and then Copy the footage that's in the 'Media' folder onto your Desktop, so that you can then drag it into your 16:9 project..
(1) Create a new project in 16:9 and import your 16:9 footage into that.
(2) Create a new project in 4:3 and import your 4:3 footage into that.
(3) Open the two projects side-by-side.
(4) Drag clips from the 4:3 project into the 16:9 project ..they'll look wrong at first, but wait till they've been automatically 'pillarboxed'.
The result looks like this:

How do you handle long strings between JSP forms and Oracle?

I am using Apache 1.3.12 with JServ 1.1 and Oracle 8.0.4 on NT4 development Server.
I am developing an application where one component allows authors to contribute articles or comments via a JSP page. I am noticing a problem when the info in the form gets too long (> 2000 characters). 99% of the inserts fall well within this limitation. The remaining 1% is sufficiently significant that I can't use a VARCHAR. It seems that SQL*NET chokes on large strings.
My immediate workaround for these messages is to break them up into segments. Instead of storing the text or a message directly in a message table, I've added another table, msg_text, with columns msg_id, seg_num, and seg_text. On insert the message is split into segments limited to the smaller of the query limit and database varchar limit, minus the overhead of the sql query. This makes for an ugly insert operation, though and I would very interested to see if anyone out there has a better way to accomplish this task directly with CLOBs.

The apparent problem with LONGs is that, of course, you can only have one per table.
I had exactly this problem and ended up with several tables for one Business Entity, which is not really satisfactory.
For the next phase of the Project, I will investigate:
Putting these tables into a View.
Putting Instead Of triggers on the View to "synchronise" changes to all underlying tables.
Basing my BC4J Entity Object on the View...
... and I hope that Bob will be my uncle.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has already tried this, or you if you give it a go.

How do you handle multiple at the same address?

My wife just got an iMac. She is using the Birthday feature in Address Book and iCal to track our friends and family birthdays and anniversaries.
Question:
How do you track it when multiple people are at the same address? For instance, our friends are a family of four, but they all live at the same address. Do you need to make a separate Address Book card for each of them, even the 1 year old baby? Or can you track multiple people in a single card with custom fields?
If you do need to make multiple cards, then how do you handle mailing lists? For instance, if I make separate cards for all four of them, how do I make sure I only send on Christmas card when I use my Mac to print labels?
Thanks for any advice.

This is really an issue that you're going to have to resolve yourself since Apple's address book isn't really built with this in mind - darn it. For me there are three scenarios. First, a singleton. No problem. Second a family for which all members share the same information - acquantences to whom I don't send birthday greetings. These get one card and I'll put in both (or all) their names in the first name field (as in Bob and Jean). If there are children, in the last name field I'll add 'and Ken' or 'and the kids'. Third, a family for which some fields are different - perhaps cell phone number, birthday, etc.
For mailing purposes, I create a holiday group and put the people I'll be sending cards to into the group.

How do you handle an incoming call while playing a game?

If you're playing a game on your iPhone, how do you handle an incoming call? A call will stop my app from running, but how do I save the state and restore it when the user starts the app again?
I have a bunch of objects on-screen and I need to record where they are so that the user doesn't lose the progress of their game.
I've looked through the SDK, but I can't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

I don't have a device to test with, but I suspect you'd want to save state in one of the UIApplicationDelegate callbacks:
applicationWillResignActive:
applicationWillTerminate:

SMTP traffic blocked by ISP how do you handle it ?

I have recently installed the OCFO 10.1.3.07. We were using POP account previously and i had 2 account created in outlook (one using my SMTP server as outgoing mail server and the 2nd using the user ISP SMTP server) to let users send emails from home by letting them select the account in outlook before sending their mail without having them to configure anything.
I am now stuck here. I tried replicating the same kind of setup using OCFO and a secondary IMAP4 account but it doesnt work. The mail stays in the outbox. The only way to send from their homes is to run the configuration wizard and change the SMTP server adress.
How do you handle this? am i taking the wrong approach here?
Thanks for any inputs.

For anyone who might be interested,
I have submited a SR to oracle support and the workaround to this issue is to Create a 2nd mail profile and configure the OCFO with a different SMTP server within that profile.

Interview Q: 'how did you handle delta'

Hi BW experts,
I've been asked this question in the interviews, 'how did you handle delta?' I know how to create delta. What is the right answer for this type of question? should I start explaining what/how we did in my previous company?
I'd appreciate and assign points, if someone can provide the answer for this.
Thanks,
Sam

The answer depends on what you have been talking about, I mean the previous discussion you had with the the interviewer. There are different way of handling delta... example:
1. The extractor itself handles delta and it send you the before and after image of the changes.
2. sometimes you load the data direclty to ODS and depending on the key you have in ods, the delta is being handled.
3. In somecases, you may not need to worry about handling delta at all (full load)... going back to the quesion you asked, that depends on the discussion you had with him/her.
thanks.

How do you handle change in user names if folks get married or divorced

If an application is using the apex authentication scheme, how do you handle change in user names if folks get married or divorced. The reason I ask the question is that all of apex uses v('app_user'), which is the user_name. If I have transactions done by this user and then their name changes, which means so does their id, how do I get all of their transactions, before and after the name change. Traditionally I would expect to use user_id, not sure if this feature is still available. I can always create a custom auth scheme, but that is a lot of additional work. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Appreciate your help and time Jari, below is my game plan, unless someone has a better idea,
I plan on doing the following to use user_id for auditing of transaction records:
1. Get the user_id to use in the tables audit trail fields
user_id := apex_util.get_user_id(v('app_user'));
OR
user_id := apex_util.get_current_user_id;
2. If a user changes their name then use
apex_util.set_last_name(p_user_id, p_new_lastname);
apex_util.set_username(p_userid, p_new_username);
Thanks,

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?

How do you change the color of the sign and fill text to the color blue in a pdf document

Is this using the "Fill & Sign" tab of https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign (for now text input is only black) or maybe using the Fill & Sign tool in Adobe Reader XI, or another application?
Thanks,

OK, but still, they built the poorly made HP drivers in their OS.
Ah, no. They published the only drivers HP gave them. If they didn't publish them, then Mac users would be unable to use HP devices at all, except for those devices supported by 3rd parties such as Gutenprint and the HPIJS Project. HP is solely responsible for the state of their drivers. And it's not just Mac drivers which are bad; a lot of Windows drivers stink, too. HP simply has a problem writing drivers. For the most part they have excellent hardware, but truly terrible software.

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

You'll need to get onto Support and explain, and if you have not made a habbit of asking, they'll reset your activations limit back to zero. Or if you have only ever installed it once, you'll still have an activation to use.
