How many characters are recognized in the Boot-up Password field?

How many characters are actually recognized when I create my Boot Password in Mac OS X 10.4.10?
At one time OS X only recognized the first 8 characters. Any more than 8 where ignored.
Is this the same today?

Actually, Panther does not limit the password length to 8 characters. They can be much longer. The issue is that if you have upgraded from a previous version of Mac OS X to Panther using 'Upgrade' or 'Archive and Install' (keeping your existing user accounts), your existing user accounts will still use the legacy "crypt" passwords, which are limited/truncated to 8 characters.
Any new users will be created with the new password style, which does several things:
* does not restrict password length to 8 characters, and does not truncate at 8 characters
* does not display the crypt password in NetInfo Manager
* uses the functional equivalent of the /etc/shadow framework on other systems, concealing the encrypted password from other users
* changes the password type from ;Basic; to ;ShadowHash; in NetInfo manager, and uses the new authentication scheme
To enable this behavior for existing users, simply reset the password using the Accounts pane in System Preferences, or the 'passwd' command.

Hi there.
If You run

and yes , you could do backup while users are connect to db you are backing up.

How many calls are held in the call log for the iPhone 3g?

How many calls are held in the call log for the iPhone 3g?

Creating a separate CSQ is the way to do it. Keep in mind that depending on your error handling, a single request could still generate more than one call into the CSQ. You would want to look at the CCDR table for the call ID or write the ImplementationID into one of the Enterprise Data variables that gets stored to the DBA to act as a UID.

How many gb are actually on the 16 gb model

How many gb are actually on the 16 gb model new iPad is it the same as the iPad 2

On your iPod menu, Settings>About. Click the centre button to move through the screens until you get to the one that tells you how many songs, videos etc. you have. You can also see the information by connecting your iPod to iTunes. Connect your iPod and when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the usual song list, on the grey bar at the bottom you'll see how many songs are there.

I cannot see how many messages are in or the size of the trash or sent folders after upgrading to 3.1.10

I recently upgraded my Thunderbird client to 3.1.10 from 2.2xx and I no longer can see the size of folders or how many messages are in certain folders. The folders do show how many are unread, but not the total messages or size of data in folder as I could with the previous version. If these options have been removed for some reason is there a problem with reverting to the previous version? Thanks, Dave English

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Is there a way to know how many tabs are open in the current window?

I have a habit of keeping lots and lots of tabs open in my Firefox window. Sometimes, I'd like to know how many are open so that I can go through and close some of them if the number is excessive...(or at least excessive by my standards).
How do I get a quick count of the number of open tabs? Surely I don't have to count them myself, do I?

Hmm I have an solution for this..
You can use Tab Counter add-on for this. This add-on shows the number of tab in presently opened window on upper right corner beside minimize.
you get this from following link:

How many classes are there in the java kit?

i figured this was the most "general" forum to post this question in. and im curious to know, how many packages/classes/functions are there in the java sdk? like, all the prebuilt ones. ive looked but cant seem to find any info on it. anybody happen to know?
Thanks!

there are at least 4142 classes in the 1.4.2.x distribution ...Is that the number of files which end in .java? There's bound to be a lot more
classes, when you u consider inner classes and especially anonymous
inner classes.It was just a rough estimation ... and I wrote 'at least' 4142 classes ...
and I was wrong: there are alse 4 .h files in the src.zip file, so that makes 4138
classes at least :-)
kind regards,
Jos

HOW MANY ROLES ARE ELGIBLE FOR THE USER

hello gurus,
how many roles can we assign to the user... what is the maximum limit of the roles and profiles for the user.
thanks in advance!
sri

Dear Srinivas,
About roles it's indeed not to easy to tell..just imagine the scenario:
1. Maximum number of profile is 312 ... (however due to some known bug system reads about 300). So, let's say 300 profile maximum can be assigned to an user
2. Now you can have single ABAP role which generally one-to-one to profile. So, this theory says if you are only assigning single ABAP roles, you can assign maximum 312 (or 300) roles.
3. But, you might also have Composite ABAP role. A composite ABAP role can have one or more Single/Composite ABAP role. So, one Composite ABAP role can correspond to any number of Profile which is determined by number of individual Single roles under than composite role. So, when you are assiging Composite ABAP role, you have to take care underlying number of profiles and make sure total does not exceed 312 (or 300 without note correction)
4. Now, last part of complication (and my favourite one). Sometimes, there is an empty Role which does not have any ABAP authorization assigned to it. But, this type of roles are used to map a authorization role in JAVA system. These roles does not have any Profile (as it does not have any ABAP authorization). Now, that brings my confusion ..What happens you assign 300 ABAP profiles via ABAP Roles and another 20 empty role for JAVA system without profile. You see my point
Hope this clarifies a bit
Cheers !!

How many apps are there in the MAS?

The headlines scream, "Apple opens Mac App Store with 1,000 apps".
If you click "show all" for paid apps there are 180, free has 106.
That totals 286.
Can anyone help me figure out where to find the other 700 apps?

I just flipped through the first half dozen categories, and stopped counting at around 500. There are 200 just in the Entertainment category, and another 200 in Utilities.
There's no single category that lists every app in the store. You have to pick a category to see all of the apps in it.

IPod Nano (3rd Gen): Exactly How many Characters are allowed in a note

And is this with or without spaces?

A note can actually be just about as large as you want.
The iPod will only display the first 4095 characters (including spaces). That's 4kB - 1 byte.

How many DVDs are thiere in the box of Adobe CS 6 Master Collection?

When the package was delivered to our school, it only has three (3) DVDs on it, two labaled as Application 1 & 2 and the other one is the Installation Help. This may help me file a complaint on our local store where our school awarded the bid for the said Adobe set.

Thank you for your replies. Sorry for the inconvenience. XD
Our school bought Adobe CS3 Production Premium a long time ago (which reminded me to reactivate it) and it came in a very large box with thick books/manuals about the software in the collection. It also came with 8 DVDs, thats why I kinda freaked out when I just recieved the CS 6 Master Collection package in an envelope and a small box that fit the 3 DVDs in it. I was expecting a classier packaging and thicker box maybe.
Thank you again for the replies.
