How reliable is the "Can I get Infinity" checker?

So here's a dilemma
We're looking to buy a house and think we've found the "one".
BT infinity tells us.. yes we can get infinity, 160mb! Or ADSL for 1mb.
I mean really that does sound too good to be true.. and I can just see it now, we move in all excited, have bought the house.. and it turns out we can only get 1mb broadband because the checker was wrong.
Is there any way you can know with 100% certainty that a house can get fiber, before moving in and getting a line installed? I need absolute certainty before putting an offer in, because 1mb adsl would be un-usable as I work from home.

Doesn't look like it..
It's at the top of willen lake, and uses the bradwell exchange.

save password? how the **** can I get rod of this function!!! every time I sign to a place if I wanted to safe a bloody password I would do that!!!

It is the same in the latest version 7.0.2. You can shut off the saving and auto filling of passwords by clicking in the menu bar at the top Safari > Preferences and then select Autofill and uncheck the passwords box. Also check the next pane as well.

How reliable is the Apple "check availability" web page?

I have a couple friends that checked the web site for availability of a 16gb black 3g. The web site stated " not available". They even called the store to confirm. However, when they stopped by the apple store at lunch they had plenty of 16gb black 3g. So how reliable is the web site? Has anyone else experienced this? I live over an hour away and I want to know for sure they have 3gs available before I drive that far.

The availability page reports shipments in transit to the selected Apple Store. Sometimes shipments do not match what's expected (they may get more of one type, less of another), sometimes weather delays prevent shipments from arriving as scheduled. It's an estimate, nothing more.
Unfortunately, the bottom line is that you can't +"know for sure"+. The only sure bet is to order one at an AT&T Store via Direct Fulfillment - then, when you are informed your phone has arrived, it will be there. But if you're in a hurry, a trip to the Apple Store would be quicker, if they do, in fact, have them when you arrive.
As of late last week in my area, there were still long lines prior to store opening (>30 people) - more people in line than phones in the shipment. So even though they are listed as available, they may not be by the time you get there.
Hope this helps...

Can I buy an unlock iphone 5 in US now? If I can, how many business days can I get it?

Can I buy an unlock iphone 5 in US now? If I can, how many business days can I get it? Thank you!

Yep, officially for sale now. Apple's online store shows it ships immediately, so should be in stock at just about every Apple store.

I'd say pretty good if you get the same results shown in the picture below, when entering your Telephone Number into the BT Infinity site. Note the BT site is down for maintenance at the moment.
Or try this checker https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html. And you get a similar result as below.-
"Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 26.6Mbps and upstream line speed of 11.1Mbps."

I unchecked all the songs in my library, how can I get them checked back?

I was trying to uncheck some songs in my library so that they would not transfer to my ipod. I guess i held down shift or control to uncheck the group when I had a few songs selected. Now all my songs in my library are unchecked. I want to update my ipod but I am afraid that when I plug it back up that it will erase all the songs off my ipod since they all are unchecked in my library. I have quite a bit of music in my library and do not want to recheck the songs that I want to transfer again. Is there any way to rebuild the original checked songs?
thanks

hey thanks, I really wanted to check only the
original songs i had checked, some 15 gigs worth
instead of the 30+ gigs i have. I wanted to know if
there was a way recheck only the original songs
instead of clicking every single song
No, there is not.
You might find it advisable to make a smart playlist of "Checked Songs" and to occassionally back this playlist up into a normal playlist. This way, if you accidently check or uncheck everything, all you have to do is to pick your checked backup playlist and check all the songs in it.
You can make a Smart Playlist for checked songs by using a rule of 'Comment is not dkjbdsk' (or some other nonsense) and turning on the "Match Checked Songs Only" flag. Then you can back that up into a non-smart playlist by selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and using the File->New Playlist from Selection menu option.

How reliable is the HH3?

Will soon be on my 3rd HH2 as the replacement one now decides to restart itself when ever I look at the adsl stats so wanted to see here if it's worth while me buying or trying to get BT India to send out a HH3 instead.
So how reliable are you guys finding them?

I've only had the HH3 for 4 days (new to the HH and to BT). The HH3 doesn't have a modem built-in, so in that sense it is not a direct replacement for the HH2 which does I believe?
The wireless is pretty good - a wireless-N device - except that it's not simultaneous dual band (ok, I was hoping) - either 40Hz or 20Hz, not both it seems. I also had problems getting two smart(ish) phones to connect reliably (Nokia E65 and Nokia C3 - which just wouldn't connect). This may be partly the phones fault, but anyway, I actually got around this by connecting my old (US Robotics) router and enabling a 2nd wireless network!?
You can connect a USB mass storage device. Does the HH2 have USB?
There are no flashing lights indicating activity, just 3 steady blue ones - although that's not got much to do with reliability!

How reliable is the Mac Mini or iMac (2009) models?

Greetings to you all. I have a question directed at anyone who owns the 2009 Mac Mini or has recently bought a Mac Mini either last year 2009 or this year, 2010. My Acer Aspire L-100 finally died on 29th Dec 2009 as a result of USB failure caused by a windows auto update. Fed up with Microsoft, I am thinking about switching over to Mac and thought the Mac Mini or iMac would be a good start. I am however troubled by the numerous complaints I am reading on the Apple website posts regarding the 2009 model Mac Mini loosing sound after a month or two of use and some posts claim that the sound on their Mac Mini is distorted, crackling and some had broken systems out of the box. How many of you have had similar sound issues with the Mac Mini? Also, is it better to get the iMac 21.5 inch instead? Has anyone had hardware issues with the Mac Mini and or the 21.5 inch iMac in less than 2-6 months of use? If so please let me know so that I can make up my mind, whether to purchase Mac computer platform or just build my own customized machine. What I need to know is, how reliable or durable is the mac mini computer, especially the 2009 model and how does the mac mini, especially with its small size, handle temperatures? Does the mac mini overheat? Please help. All information will be highly appreciated.

Remember, Apple offers a 1 year hardware warranty and 90 days free software support, both of which can be extended to three years from date of computer's purchase. This means if you appear to have what is a technical issue with your machine off the bat, Apple will cover the lemon issue, if it is obvious it is not an issue you the user could have caused. Mind you, if issues appear much later during the ownership, it gets harder to justify that it is a manufacturer issue. As long as you don't upgrade the internal hardware, the hardware test CD that comes with the machine will be able to tell if there is a manufacturer issue with the machine. All bets are off, if you change the RAM, or hard drive beyond the specs of the machine. Apple publishes the specs of the machine on http://support.apple.com/
Your machine shouldn't overheat unless you excede the published specs.
The advantage of the Mac is that malware and viruses are practically a nonissue, and everything you usually could desire is already built-in to the machine. So while you could build your own machine, you can't really get the integrated hardware and software as you do with the Mac.
Yes, the 27" iMac has been hit hard with issues, more around the display than anything else. I for one, if were forced to get an iMac, would get the 21.5".
I've not seen any specific Mac Mini issues really come to the fore.
If sound is lost on a Mac Mini, it usually is due to the fact that minijack connectors themselves are fragile to begin with, and endusers tend to jiggle them a lot in the connector, causing the connectivity to get lost. If you are careful to follow these directions about cables*:
http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
You should avoid most of those issues. Thankfully there are 5 USB ports on Mac Minis, and USB audio is frequently better than the built-in audio, except when adding your own 5.1 speaker system with mini-Toslink connector speakers.
Don't forget the number of posters to this board, don't even amount to 1 tenth of a percent of all purchasers of iMacs, Mac Minis, or MacBooks any one quarter. Thus the remark you said was "rude" is not. It is factual. You are basing your information on what amounts to less odds of happening than a space program disaster with NASA. Mostly people who have problems are posting, and those who don't rarely do post.
I recently had a hard drive die after the three year warranty was spent, but hard drives I've seen die on Acers and Dells on the first day of ownership too, so that's nothing new. Backing up your data is the best way to deal with data loss*:

How reliable is the time capsule ? I have read that it dies after 2yrs.

How many years do most people get out of the time capsule?

You should get 3years out of any Gen4 TC.
I think the weak point has changed. It was overheating and power supply. That used to kill them fast.
Apple did fix that.. mostly.. running too hot, still can raise its ugly head.. but that indicates a fault more than normal operation.
But instead of best quality 7200rpm drives, to save power and therefore heat they used cheapest WD green drives money can buy. I am now seeing more drive failures in the later ones than power supply issues.
I would suggest..
1. TC is suitable for TM backup.. if you store files on it.. make sure you take steps to back it up yourself.. TC cannot auto backup. It is not a reliable place for file store.
2. Consider 3years an economic life point.. sell and buy a new one, even if it is running perfectly. Hard disks die quick. The fact is hard disk quality has gone down as the prices declined. It can give no warning.. one day.. no hard disk.
3. Pricing is still very keen.. you will find it difficult to find anything as cheap as the TC for TM backups on a network. For desktop computers, always use external drives.. these are faster.. less issues.. cheaper.. no network traffic.
4. Gen 4 TC is well overdue for replacement. How do you factor that in??

How reliable is the iPad?

Just wondering how reliable the iPad is

How reliable is it in terms of the system and the software? Does it crash easily? Does software always work?
It's difficult because I don't know what to compare it to, but in general:
very
no
yes
The last depends on the software, but everything available for iOS has to be approved by Apple, who subject it to many stringent quality control tests before it is released for sale. Poorly written software or apps that are not a good value get poor reviews, so look for yourself before purchasing.
My iPads have exceeded my expectations. I have never experienced a crash or anything resembling instability. For such a versatile product, I can't believe they price them so inexpensively.
Don't drop them. If you must drop one don't let it fall onto anything harder than a carpet.

How and when the realDelete method gets called for a custom adapter?

Hi,
I am a newbie in sun identity manager and is in the process of writing a custom adapter for documentum resource.
While I am successful in creating the resource,then provisioning the resource to an user(i.e creating an account of the user on documentum ) updating the user through idm I am not being able to deprovision the resource.
Actually in the trace I am not seeing the realDelete method getting called anywhere,but I am sure if it gets called it would do its designated job bcos as a standalone code it's working.
Does this mean I am not properly doing deprovisioning in sun-idm?
What method I am employing is in the assignment list of the user,i am putting the resource from assigned to unassigned side(i.e right to left side) just as in case of provisioning I have put it from left to right.
Is it the standard way of deprovisioning or am I missing something here?
Any sort of help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
anjan

You need to read that manual with more caution. It has all info you need.
1. Table modification info stays in shared pool and flushed into dictionary by Oracle automatically. You can explicity do it by calling dbms_stats.flush_database_monitoring_info.
2. dba_tab_modifications view = How many DML are applied to target table?
dba_tab_statistics.stale_stats = Is statistics stale?
3. When you call dbms_stats.gather... familiy, Oracle flushed the stale info to disk. You gnerally don't need to care about that.
4. Statistics is considered to be stale, when the change is over 10% of current rows.
(As of 11g, this value can be customized per objects. Cool feature)
create table t_stat(id int);
insert into t_stat select rownum from all_objects where rownum <= 100;
commit;
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'T_STAT');
select * from sys.dba_tab_modifications where table_name = 'T_STAT';
No row selected
select stale_stats from sys.dba_tab_statistics where table_name = 'T_STAT';
NO
insert into t_stat select rownum from all_objects where rownum <= 20;
select * from sys.dba_tab_modifications where table_name = 'T_STAT';
No rows selected <-- Oops
select stale_stats from sys.dba_tab_statistics where table_name = 'T_STAT';
NO <-- Oops
exec dbms_stats.flush_database_monitoring_info;
select * from sys.dba_tab_modifications where table_name = 'T_STAT';

Too close to the exchange to get Infinity???

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can verfiy te following please?.
I live on the outskirts of Reading and have been told by a neighbour, who managed to speak to someone at BT, that in our road we are never likley to be able to get BT Infinity the reason being as follows:
We are close to the Spencers Wood exchange and the lines to our road come directly from the exchange and not from a road side cabinet. In order to get Infinity the line must come from the cabinet and not the exchange. Therefore although the exchange has been upgraded to be able to provide Infinity it is only possible to get this if you are supplied from a cabinet. So, a number of houses round about us can get it, but we are unlikley to ever get it.
Is anyone able to verify the accuracy of this please, and are there any other options available?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BT Infinity runs off two kinds of VDSL types;
FTTC - Fibre to the Cabinet. This is where there is a fibre line from the Exchange to the street cabinet then normal copper from there to the house/business.
FTTP - Fibre to the Premises. This is where you have a fibre line all the way from the Exchange to the house/premises and doesn't route through a FTTC, aka RDSLAM.
If your line is an EOL (Exchange Only Line) then you will have to wait for a FTTP Service to become available in your area.

How to stop the counter after getting maximum amplitude from a waveform graph?

I am using accelerometer, optical encoder and daq card (PCI MIO 16XE10) for my tyre balancing project. Basically i am trying to stop my edges count from the optical encoder to get the position for putting the mass for correcting the balancing. Could anyone please help me by telling me how i can achieve it or is there any other ways to get the position using the daq card? One more thing, could anyone tell me how to change the waveform graph to frequency domain instead of time domain?

Time to Freq is easy. 1/time = freq. example. 1 msec period = 1000 hertz (1kHz).
I guessing you are attempting to design a new spin balancer for tires. I would record the entire "spin cycle with index count" then search the resulting waveform for the max amplitutes. Correlate the indexes and that should give you the high point and location. You might want to count the number of revolutions, then grab that 60% of that number of peaks.

How Reliable Is The Macbook?

Ok, I'm just about to pull the trigger on purchasing my first mac product. However, I am still a bit hesitant due to my past experiences with Apple. I've had 4 ipods (different models) replaced by Apple over the last 3 years due to hardware failures that were in no way a fault of my own. I took excellent care of them and time and time again the wheels would lock up, the batteries would fail, the player would lock, etc. In short, every Apple product I've ever owned has been defective. However, since having the opportunity to play around with a Macbook over the holidays I have really fallen in love with them. I've read that they have better than average reliability, but I still have this small voice inside my head telling me that I'm making a mistake. Please be honest and tell me if the Macbook is a reliable machine. I can't afford to throw money away on something that is constantly going to give me grief. I understand that there are always going to be lemons but overall, what is your opinion on the reliability of the Macbook? Thanks!

Well Tex it's kind of hard to say. No one can really predict what's going to happen. I've been on these boards longer than most. I've seen people complain about a myriad of problems relating to various Apple products. Of course I guess I can expect that since this is where people with problems with said Apple products come when the have trouble.
I have an iMac G5 which when it was released had all sorts of trouble (if you looked on the discussion board) yet I haven't had any trouble what so ever even though I've had it almost 2 years. I bought my MacBook 4 days after they were released and have yet to have trouble. I bought a Shuffle and used it for over a year and it freaked out one day. That was taken care of with an update. I have a Nano now and use it everyday. It sometimes locks up and I have to reset it. Not that happy about it but it's not really a big deal.
I've owned about 15 Apple computers/products over the years and with the exception of a modem that went out I really haven't had a true problem. Maybe I've been lucky or maybe the few (yeah it looks like a lot) people that post here have be unlucky. I've seen people here that have not only had a problem but have had multiple problems repaired, replaced, etc.
I guess what I'm getting at is there's really no guarantee to say you're going to be happy but there's obviously something that's drawing you to the MacBook. Feel the Force Luke.

How reliable is the 2014 MacBook Air and its PCle Flash storage?

I'm planning on buying one from my local Best Buy, but I don't know how reliable it really is. I love the idea of having all day battery life, which is a huge plus for me, and the thinnest of it is simply amazing. I did heard that it has some sort of SSD, which I'm assuming it's PCle flash storage, that makes things so much faster. I don't know anything about them, so correct me if I'm wrong. But is the SSDs reliable? just don't want to get something that's going to be a paperweight in a year. I was expecting to keep mine for, let's say, 3 or more years, which is what I usually do with my notebooks.
Anyway, long story short, is the MacBook Air durable, and worth the investment?

That's good. So, in other words, the early-2014 MacBook Air model - with PCle flash storage and a Haswell processor - is a good notebook that should last me a very long time (with proper care)? I'm going to college soon, and I was planning on sticking with this notebook for 4-8 year - for college work, and every day (casual) use. I heard MacBook Airs, or any MacBook with a SSD, are extremely reliable, but I don't know if that's true.
I never bought a MacBook so please forgive me if my questions are annoying.
