How do you measure size?

I just purchased a MacBook Pro. We ordered a 15" 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, and just received it in the mail.
It looked small to me so I measured the comp. witdth wise and it was only 13". I was telling someone about it tonight and they said to measure a computer you measure diagonally. Is that the correct way to measure a computer?
Also how do you check to make sure it is the 2.4 GHz?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple boards:
Size is always measured diagonally. If there were a way to get a larger number, they would use that
Regarding your speed and other important things, hold down the Option key and click on the little black apple on the top left of your screen. Select System Profiler and, Voila! there you go.

How do you measure a Cycle's lenght in time, not bars and beats?

How to you measure the time length on a selected cycle ? I understand that when any cycle is selected, you can see the length of that specific range on Bars and beats, but not in Real time. How do I get to see ( Calculate ) the real time length of a cycle range? When working with video this feature is absolutely necessary. ProTools shows you the length in time when a cycle range is selected. I also know that you can calculate the distance of any given point in the song, relative to the start time, you can see it in the Time Position display, but what If I need a more exact time calculation ( min:sec:frames, etc. ) between two specific cue points that are only relevant to video sync, not relative to the start time and not relative to musical values. Like if I need the exact time length for a video cue, etc.

Thank you, very Much, That's it !!!
I've looked for that for years...LOL, It never occurred to me to look for a "negative",

How do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe cc for mac?

how do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe ID cc for mac? I have looked everywhere. It's possible in Windows and Word but not in Mac. Please help. I spend half my time trying to find that blinking upright bar.

Thanks for your note but it’s still a skinny rod that seems to disappear. Why can’t it become a little thicker so it doesn’t disappear no matter what size I have set the screen? My poor old eyes aren’t what they used to be. I do appreciate your answering and I’ll enlarge the screen so the blankety-blankety blinking rod is at least visible. Nancy

How do you measure your productivity?

Hi everybody,
I have troubles estimating my productivity as a Java programmer. As far as I know "a normal programmer" produces from 80 to 400 lines of code (LOC) per month (comments are not counted).
I now it is very unclear how to define and estimate programmer's productivity a and I know it depends on a lot of factors. But still, I would be extremely greateful if someone would share with me how many lines of Java/JSP code s/he produces per hour (or per month).
A lot of thanks in advance.

How about trying to measure the financial return on the code you produce.
If, for example, you are a reuse asset producer, perhaps you could measure costs on the basis of SLOCRBO (Source LOC Reused By Others)?
So if you write a 1KLOC module that is reused in 10 projects, that's
SLOCRBO = 10 * 1000 = 10,000
You could try to take this forward by gathering stats for the relative cost of reuse for modules produced in your company. Let's say it costs 20% of the cost of writing a module from scratch to use a 'reusuable' module instead. So you can try to work out the amount of money you are saving the company:
CPLOC = (Cost per line of code) = $100 (say)
RCR = (Relative cost of reuse) = 20%
DCA = (Developer cost avoidance) = 10,000 * 0.8 * $100 = $800,000
But you'd need to measure code quality, so you need stats on error rates, and how much it costs to fix errors. This might depend on when errors tend to caught, and how critical the apps the company develops are. So:
ER = (Error Rate) = 0.001 (errors/LOC)
EC = (Error cost) = $10,000 (say)
MCA = (Maintenance cost avoidance) = 10,000 * 0.001 * $10,000 = $100,000
So your Reuse Cost Avoidance would be DCA + MCA = $900,000
Then you'd have to take into account your labour costs, costs of maintaining the reuse program, asset administration and so on. You are also going to need to take into account the impact that your bugs, and any future incompatable changes, are going to have on systems that reuse your code. You could (I think) get a fair idea of what you might be worth to the company, and how much money you could save by increasing Reuse a bit. Obviously, this kind of calculation is going to need statistics from the company to make the calculation meaningful.
You could also look at your maintenance patterns: Do you have to keep making lots of small changes to your code? If so, maybe you could improve your productivity by performing some preventative maintenance - improving the maintainability of your modules by re-engineering them.
I do think it's important that you do try to measure productivity - producing metrics is the hard part - but without taking measurements, how can you improve a software process (either from the pov of a manager, or as a matter of personal improvement)?

How do you measure if a battery is failing faster than normal?

How can you tell if your battery is failing faster than normal or acceptable?
I bought 2 batteries with my G4 Powerbook 2 years ago. One now gives me an hour of battery life, and one 1.5 hours. This seems very low considering it's only 1 year of use per battery. Apple Care only asks about how long the battery has been owned... never how much it has been used, number of cycles, amps, etc.
Battery Information:
BATTERY #1
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 2703
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 2170
Amperage (mA): 637
Voltage (mV): 12522
Cycle Count: 190
BATTERY #2:
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 3032
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3027
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12417
Cycle Count: 105
Compare these numbers with my brother's PowerBook G4, bought just a few months after mine:
My main battery has 209 cycles and a capacity of 3686 mAh. My secondary has only 29 cycles and a capacity of 4400 mAh.
why does he have 3686 mAh after 209 cycles, and my bettery has 2703 after 190 cycles? Is there some way to tell if this is "inappropriate" loss of power?
Thanks

I did do several things wrong (that I only found out about now):
1. I left the computer plugged into AC
2. I stored whichever battery was not in use full, rather than half full
But I did callibrate regularly (if only by necessity).
I still think 1.5 hours at 2 years is not very good if you are using two batteries (that's really only one year each).
However, I called AppleCare, and I was told they will only consider a battery if it has been owned for under a year, and has less than one hour of life at best. That still seems extremely low to me (I'd be upset if I had 1 hour at 1 year on my only battery), but such is life. I think the moral of the story is that it would help to give instructions about battery care with the computer, and don't buy an extra battery unless you really need it.

How do you measure performance of an item renderer?

I'm creating an ItemRenderer in Flex 4.6 and I want to know how to measure total time to create, view and render an item renderer and how long it takes to view and render that item renderer when it's being reused.
I just watched the video, Performance Tips and Tricks for Flex and Flash Development and it describes the creation time, validation time and render time and also the reset time. This is described at 36:43 and 40:25.
I'm looking for a way to get numbers in milliseconds for total item renderer render time and reset time (what is being done in the video).

To answer your first question, in this video Ryan Frishberg recommends measuring and tuning your code. I'm trying to follow his example for my own item renderers.
I've taken some key slides out to show you.

How do you share size properies from one object to another?

Hi guys,
I've currently coding my own shoot 'em up game where if enemy is killed, enemy turns to a block. I want to set it up so the size properies will pass over to the block (same object size - height and scale) but also changing the collision properies so the player will be enable push the block around the screen but I'm not sure how to implement such functionality/feature. I've experimented with two ways so far;
1.) The enemy changes to a frame of a block when he dies (illusion of a different object but the same object with a different frame on the timeline) using the same size properies but I can't seem to the change the collision properies from it's prior setting of causing damage and re-bound/bounce to the player.
2.) The enemy is removed completely from the game and a new block object is added in the same position where enemy died but I can't share/code the same size properies to this new block object making obvious that is a different object.
Here is a code I've what I've done so far (which is attempting to do first approach);
Code:
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
Collision.block(player, enemy);
function checkCollisionWithEnemies(bullet:MovieClip)
if (enemy.hitTestPoint(bullet.x, bullet.y,true))
     if (player.char_type == 1)
       enemy.meter.width -= 10;/// Damaging enemy
       enemy.gotoAndStop(2);
       removeChild(bullet);
       bullet = null;
        if (enemy.meter.width < 1) //// Dead enemy
     enemy.stop();
     enemy.gotoAndStop(3); /// enemy goes to block frame
     enemy.enemy_char_type = 3; /// enemy becomes block
         if (enemy.enemy_char_type == 3)
         trace ("Hello");
         Collision.block(enemy, player); /// Trying to change collision settings
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kglad again,
thanks for all your input and support so far, you're been very helpful. Using your code as reference, I either occur a 1046 error - "Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DisplayObject" or the new code added doesn't seem to function at all. I've been puzzling over this all day, seeking for a solution, I was wondering if you point me in the right direction but anyhow here below are my two attempts -
This 1st code attempt below leads to: a 1046 error - "Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DisplayObject"
<code>
function checkCollisionWithEnemies(bullet:MovieClip)
             var block:Block = new Block();
             block.x = enemy.x;
               block.y = enemy.y;
         if (enemy.meter.width < 1)
                        enemy.stop();
                        swapProperies(enemy,block);
                        removeChild(enemy);
                        enemy = null;
                        addChild(block);
                       _tweenX.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onMotionFinishX);
                       _tweenY.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onMotionFinishY);
function swapProperies(dobj1:DisplayObject, dobj2:DisplayObject):void
           var propertyA:Array=["x","y","width","height","rotation"]
            for(var i:int = 0; 1>propertyA.length;i++)
            dobj2[propertyA[i]] = obj1[propertyA[i]];
</code>
I imported a new class "import flash.display.Object;" to the package to confirm/declare the DisplayObject, but remains to display the same error message.
2nd attempt - This is where I thought I would directly apply the code to the enemy and block: MovieClips like other objects in the rest of the code, but this attempt leads this new code not to function at all but able to compile/play the game without any errors, I only changed the function swapProperies (the rest of the code is the same) -
<code>
function swapProperies(enemy:MovieClip, block:MovieClip):void
           var propertyA:Array=["x","y","width","height","rotation"]
            for(var i:int = 0; 1>propertyA.length;i++)
            enemy[propertyA[i]] = block[propertyA[i]];
</code>
Any suggestions?

How do you measure frequency using the onboard counter on PCMCIA 6024-E

I am using LABView 6.1 and NI-DAQ 7.2 with a SCXI-1000 chassis and a PCMCIA 6024-E on a laptop. I need to measure a frequency of about 3KHz and would like to do that using an 1180 direct through connector.
Firstly, should I see this 1180 in MAX like any other module?
And secondly, how do I use this 6024-E card to measure frequency? Which pins are supposed to be used on it to measure, and will I see the counter run in the test window in MAX according to the frequency measured?
I know NI also have a frequency module for the SCXI chassis. So lastly, will it be better to use that, rather than measure directly off the 6024-E?
Any help, advise or comments will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello,
I think I can help out with some of your questions. First, the 1180 module won�t show up in MAX since it is really just a feedthrough cable which allows you access to your unused signals from the DAQ card.
You definitely can measure frequency using your 6024E. An example installs with NI-DAQ 7.2 which shows how to accomplish this. To access this example go to the LabVIEW start up screen and hit the Find Example button. When the Example Finder opens up browse to the following location: Hardware Input and Output -> DAQ -> Counters -> DAQ-STC -> Measure Frequency (DAQ-STC).vi
This example measures frequency and has a connection diagram on the front panel. The documentation for the example can be accessed by going to File -> VI properties -> Document
ation, after you have opened the VI.
You are correct that we offer a frequency input module for SCXI (SCXI-1126). This module would be useful if your input voltages are non-TTL, or if you need to measure more than one channel of frequency signals. This module has an input range of +/- 250Vrms and 8 input channels.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything I can help with or clarify.

How can you increase size of iweb photo album?

In iWeb albums there seems to be a maximum of 500 photos or 5 pages. Can you add more than 500 photos to the same album? How?

are you using an application server or the local OC4J container?
In both cases the height and width of your applet can be set in the formsweb.cfg file.
you can find this file under <oracle_home>/forms/server directory
search in the file for with and height
you can put a fixed size in pixels or in percentage of your screen resolution
hope it helps

How do you measure the change in area of an irregular shape?

Hello everyone,
This irregular shape is previously unspecified (other than the fact that it is white on a black background). Changes in the area would cause a motor to either speed up (increase) or slow down (decrease).
I'm completely new to Labview and I'm still trying to figure out the jists of it. I have been playing around with the vision assistant. Any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks.

Just create a binary image using automatic thresholding (or fixed threshold if it is a constant), then use particle measurement to measure the area of the particle. If it returns multiple particles, you probably want the largest one. You might have to clean up the binary image by removing edge particles, etc. before using particle measurement.
You should be able to measure the area several times a second easily, possibly at the frame rate of the camera.

How do you re-size downloaded photos?

I have a project a client had produced elsewhere.
He needs me to add make some minor changes and add some photos.
The current project contains photos downloaded from google search.
(It's not for broadcast and is a spec show in house reel only)
The downloaded photos look excellent.
He has other photos from google that he wants to use.
whenever I download and save to my desktop the image is so small- they are unusable in FCP.
He said the original editor was able to use any photo he wanted regardless of image size.
I'm looking like a dummy here.
Please help.
What do I need to do to get these small images to look good?
(I tried re-sizing in photoshop and they just look over pixelated.)

Hi -
You may have already done this, but -
When you use Google Images to search for images, if you download the image from the search results page, +you will only download the thumbnail of the image.+ You need to double click on the image you want, and on the page that opens at the top click on "see full size image". Then, if that full size image is a reasonable size, download that.
Hope this helps.

How Do you Make (Size) a Mini Photo?

I am in the WHCC Roes software program, creating a postcard. On the reverse side, I want to insert a small 2" x 1" photo. I therefore exported this size from LR3 (Image Sizing, Resize to Fit, Dimensions: 2.0 x 1.0, inches, and I clicked "Don't Enlarge". It didn't work. Any suggestions?

I have never done something like that before, so I just tried it. Here is what I did:
1. Create a custom crop ratio of 2: 1.
2. Use that ratio to crop the image (I used a virtual copy).
3. When setting up the export options, specify the long edge to be 2 inches. Don't try to specify both dimensions.
4. Export the image.
I just went through that routine and checked the image size in Photoshop, and it was exactly 2 inches by 1 inch.
