How does firefox know it should use specific client certificate with a URL?

I am trying to determine how Firefox, or any browser for that matter knows which client SSL certificates it should prompt the user for when an authentication attempt occurs.

Maybe check the Firefox source code.

HT5243 How does one know if they use "java applets"? What do they do? How will I know if I need to 'disable the java web plug-in browser' if I do not use them? ( I'm not very literate in computer-speak.

Well, when you go to a web page a section of the web page will have a coffee cup picture where the java applet will run. The applet loads then runs. If you are not seeing this behavior then you are not using java. If it make you feel more comfortable then disable the browser java plugin. On my machine I have not disable java- but you
may what to.

How to register iOS device when using self signed certificate with apple Server?

Hi,
I have installed the server.app by Apple and used a slef signed certificate for my server. Now I want to register my different devices (iMac, iPhone etc.). I could register the iMac without problesm (I just had to add my self signed certificate to the trusted certificates)
Sadly, with the iPhone it is not that easy. I can install the "trust profile", but still after that I can not register my device. It seems like it does not accept my self signed certificate for device registration. When adding a registration profile, I get the error "www._mydomain_.tld/devicemanagement/api/device/auto_join_ota_service" is not valid.
Nethertheless, I can install a profile with setting, e.g. my imap settings, via the profile management without problems.
Does anyone have an idea how to get around the problem with the self signed certificate?
Best regards

Try deleting the Server.app and download it again from the App Store, restart.
My Server is also using self signed certificates and is working with iOS device (Trust Profile needed first).

How does firefox position itself (on Linux specifically) when I initially launch it?

I am using Firefox on Linux. I am interested in what is happening when I launch it. Specifically, how is it placing it's window. Is it using window manager hints? something else?

It doesn't seem to affect performance. It's just annoying to have the two icons load.
Hope it's fixed by Beta 2.

Does anyone know about iPad use for Patients diagnosed with ALS ?

My Mom was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and has lost her voice. She has been using my sisters iPad to communicate. And I want to thank Apple for creating such a great device, but I want to know if anyone out there has had any experience or knows of any ALS patients who have used an iPad for primary communication. Thank you.

You might start with contacing any local or national ALS support organizations. I would think they would be a better source of specific use information that this forum. A response here is likely to be more hit and miss than anything else.

How does one know whether or not they use "Java applets"?

The support doc for the recent Java update (Update 8, for Snow Leopard), entitled "About Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8," advises the following:
If you do not use Java applets, it is recommended that you disable the Java web plug-in in your web browser.

Sometimes you have to dig to find out: http://earthnow.usgs.gov/earthnow_app.html
doesn't tell you directly, but it is mentioned in the FAQ that Java is required. If the content is appropriate, you can always ask here.
Thanks. According to that webpage, my "Java is out of date." When an error message like that is returned, I guess it's clear that "it's a Java problem." Presumably, one would then just go to java.com and download the applet if he/she wanted to view the webpage.
I was wondering more about situation when unexplained problems that involved missing Java applets weren't noted in error messages.
But maybe I'm worrying about something that doesn't really need to be worried about.

How does pacman know how to remove packages?

I've been looking at the 'Creating Packages' page, and it says to create a pkgbuild I only need to specify the build function. My question is... how does pacman know which files to remove when you do pacman -R? Does it keep track of all the files that were installed via build()?
Second question: How do you guys keep track of packages that weren't installed via the AUR? For example, if you want to hack on a project and use that hacked copy instead of the one available in the repos, what do you usually do? I'm guessing that I should let pacman keep track of those by creating pkgbuilds for them, naming them something like [packagename]-[version]-myown, and noting that it conflicts with the package in the Arch repos... is this correct?

When you build a package with makepkg, the build function is responsible for installing the files that will be contained in the package under ${BUILD_DIR}/pkg. That directory will be tar'ed and compacted to make your final package. When you install it with pacman, will be created the file /var/lib/pacman/local/<name of your package>/files which will list all the files owned by your package. So pacman can know how to remove them when you ask it to be deleted.
About your 2nd. question, you are quite right. The only correction is that the name of your new package should be something like "package-myown-version". You should put the old name in the conflicts and provides directive of the PKGBUILD. You should read the wiki about ABS. With it, you can get a copy of all PKGBUILDS for your current repositories, so you can change what pleases you more.

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

How does oracle know which AO Framework page or process to execute.

Hi,
How does oracle know which AO Framework page or process to execute. I use to think this was defined in the Function definition. But looking through some Function definition in HRMS setup I noticed some of them simply calling the same first page, such as the one below used in many managers menus. This initial page is the page that allows managers to choose the employee they want to work on.
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=HR_PERSON_TREE_TOP_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800.
My question is, after executing this initial page, how does Oracle then varies the OA page by the diffferent functions?

Hi;
Thanks for sharing
Please dont forget to change thread status to answered if it possible when u belive your thread has been answered, it pretend to lose time of other forums user while they are searching open question which is not answered,thanks for understanding*

How does Siri know where my office is

Ok I just got my iPhone 4s and I can't work out how to get Siri to remind me to do something when I get to the office.
How does Siri know when I'm at the office
How does Siri know I'm at home
How does Siri know I am at a particular place.
I know how to get Siri to do a reminder by using time, but the adverts say "office" so how does it know
Any help appreciated for a new 4s user :-)

Put your office location in your contacts by itself with a label of office or work. Or associate it as office or work like you do with wife and kids and such.

HT4759 How can I know the Devices using my i Cloud or Apple ID?

How can I know the Devices using my i Cloud or Apple ID?

This information is not available. If you have any misgivings, change your password at http://appleid.apple.com - it should be at least 8 characters - 12 would be better - of which one must be a capital letter and one a numeral. No punctuations signs, and no real words.

How does WebLogic know it needs XA transaction?

I've been informed that Weblogic 8.1 "knows" whether it needs to start a global XA transaction or not when it starts a transaction...sparing the overhead of an XA transaction if it is not needed.
          Is this a true statement?...and if so...how does it know that distributed resources will be used in the transaction when it is starting the transaction?
          The main reason I ask is that we are wondering if there is any way to avoid using the XA driver for "every" transaction, when we only need it less than 1% of the time. We would like to avoid the overhead that is introduced with XA.

WebLogic always performs XA operations, it looks at the resource and checks if it implements the XAResource interface, if it does it uses the XA operations with that resource otherwise the operations will just be a null op.
          So it depends on what resources you use in the tx. If you mix, XA and Non-XA resources in the tx, you may hit heuristic exceptions and inconsistentcies in your data which you will have to manually correct. Also you loose the ability to recover any transactions.

How does oracle know the databse is inconsistent and needs recovery?

Hello,
How does Oracle know that the datafiles are inconsistent and db needs recovery when rebuilding the db off of the online/hot backups? Whereas, it doesn’t ask for recovery when rebuilding the database from cold backup (I understand that, for cold backup, database is shutdown immediate and hence the db is consistent). In both scenarios, a new control file is created (that means it won’t have SCN) and only datafile header will have the SCN. What’s that piece of info that oracle check to know if the database is consistent or inconsistent during the backup restore and recovery and where that info resides?
Thank you for any hints and answers.
Jay

Oracle uses the datafiles to identify if they are consistent. If the datafiles backup was taken when the database was OPEN, they are marked as "fuzzy" in the header. Also, likely, the Checkpoint SCNs may be different if tablespace checkpoints (e.g. by ALTER TABLESPACE BEGIN BACKUP) are at different points in time.
If the backup was a cold backup with the database shutdown normal/immediate, the headers are marked appropriately.
When you run CREATE CONTROLFILE, it has to read the datafiles because the controlfile, itself, has no SCN and LogSequenceNumbers information.

How does Siri know what I get "home"?

So, lets say I want to create a reminder to pick up milk when I get home. How does Siri know where "home" is, or anything else for that matter. Like, say I want to be reminded to bring my laptop in from my car when I get to work. Where do I set "work" or "home" so Siri knows?

I believe it uses your address book? I just told siri to go home and my address came up from the contact info.
