I need degrees as the norm!!

Is it possible to set Numbers so that when you input a value into a cell it will treat that value as a number of degrees and not radians. I have a list of angles (in degrees) that are used in further calculations but Numbers I understand assumes that they are in radians and not degrees.
If this isn't possible do I have to first convert the raw data (that's in degrees) into radians then input the radian values into the spreadsheet then get Numbers to convert the radian values into degrees!!
Thanks

Shrodinger,
I think Bad unit suggested a way to change your existing formulas to use the degrees as input by performing the degrees-to-radian conversion in the arguement.
Instead of =SIN(A2)
It should be =SIN(A2*PI()/180)
in other words....
you current degree argument is A2 (which contains a value in degrees)
so BadUnit suggested peforming the conversion as:
A2 * PI() / 180 (this is now in radians)
then providing that as the argument to the sin function
or... as Jeff points out
radians(A2) can be passed to the sin function.
The following are equivalent:
=sin(A2 * PI() / 180)
=sin(radians(A2))

Regarding Need to measure the rotation count of the Compass either by clockwise and anti clock wise from 0 to 360 degree

Dear All,
Since I am new bee for labview, I want to count the no. of rotations that the compass will be rotating. I just did for one count, but I need to measure the count continuosly. Please some one to help me as soon as possible. Attached is me code. Please do the needful.
Thanks and Regards,

The event structure reads the value and, depending on its last state and current state, makes a decision. You should try to look at the logic in the different states and follow what it happening.
Example -
1> Start at low state and 10 degrees
2> Control moves to 30 degrees. Old state = low. New state = low (no change in count)
3> Control moves to 15 degrees. Old state = low. New state = low (no change in count)
4> Control moves to 100 degrees. Old state = low. New state = medium (no change in count)
4> Control moves to 330 degrees. Old state = medium. New state = high (no change in count)
5> Control moves to 20 degrees. Old state = high. New state = low (going straight from high to low means we made a positive rotation. Increase count by 1)
The limits determine the zones of the low, medium, and high states. While the values I choose to use were arbitrary, you would not want to set them too low (or high) to minimize errors. Try it yourself. Set the low limit to 2 and high limit to 358 (this would make the medium zone from 3 -> 357). If you were quick (or the mouse jumped) it might be possible to move from 356 degrees (medium zone) to 4 degrees (also medium zone). So if set improperly you could complete a rotation but not know you changed zones.
On retrospect though the best values would likely be in thirds (I.E., 120 and 240) to make the zones even? I did not do too much testing.

Is there an Add On that automatically stores history to a file? Even if the history has been manually "cleared" via the pull down and dialog box? I need to monitor the history on my teenager, who knows how to clear history.

I know this might be considered "stalking" to a certain degree, but I am interested in my teenagers internet safety and an Add-On that can help parents would be great...

This is probably a loosing battle. Next you will need to ensure the teenager can not make a new profile, install another browser, or use a totaly different OS from other media. Once you have done all that you are unlikely to prevent internet access from mobiles internet cafes and friends devices.
I am sure others may make suggestions, but simply installing spyware is not likely to be the best philosphy.

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for ios4.3.3 but now the apps don't work at all after updating. They just flash on the screen but don't stay displayed. What is going on?

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for IOS4.3.3 but when the update was complete the apps would no longer work. They would just flash when I tapped the screen to bring them up but will stay displayed. What is the problem?

I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

I need to replace the hd on a macbook early 2008 what is the best hard drive to use would like sad if compatible

what size do i need

An SSD will work - just as long as the drive has a form factor of 2.5" x 7, 9.5 or 12 mm, it should work in your MacBook Pro (the 'norm' used to be 9.5mm but there are a lot of 7mm drives being introduced).
If you're considering SSDs I can recommend either the Samsung EVO series or the Crucial M500 or M550.
See -> Upgrading your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive.
If you decide that you don't need a SSD, you can always go with a Seagate SSHD (a portion of the drive is solid state) or just a regular HD (and my recommendations there would be HGST or Toshiba).
Good luck,
Clinton

My macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again

my macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again. i don't have an external monitor, so i just deal with it. i'm about done dealing with it and am wondering if anyone else had/has this problem, and how did you solve it?

You have a hardware problem. It needs to be fixed.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

How do I restore footage recorded at sea to the horizontal? It is 30 degrees from the horizontal.

How do I restore footage to the horizontal? It was recorded at sea and is 30 degrees from the horizontal.

Edit your clip to the timeline. Once it is on the timeline, double-click on the clip in the timeline so that it opens in the Viewer.
In Viewer, click on the Motion Tab.
In the Basic Motion pane, adjust the rotation of your image until the horizon line become usable. If you know it was 30 degrees off, you can enter 30 (to rotate clockwise) or -30 (to rotate counterclockwise) to the rotation setting and see your result in the canvas.
You will probably see areas of the screen that now have no picture because of the rotation. You can use the Scale control to enlarge the picture so that the rotated picture now fills frame. Keep in mind that scaling the image larger will result in image quality dropping, so scale carefully.
Depending on the horsepower of your computer, you may need to render to see the rotated image playback properly.

Need inputs regarding the dvd drive on primary ide channel.

Specs:
Motherboard: MSI P35 Neo3 (MS-7935 1.0)
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E6550
Memory: Team Elite DDR2800 (2x1GB Dual Channel)
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache (SATA)
Optical drive: LG GSA-H55L (IDE only) Firmware version 1.02
Graphics card: Gecube HD3870
Chipset: Intel P35/G33/G31 (Rev. A2)
Southbridge: Intel 82801IB (ICH9)
LPCIO: Fintek F71882F
BIOS: AMI V1.1 (11/07/2007)
Hello,
Almost all new motherboards today only have a primary ide channel and the rest are SATA.
I need inputs regarding the dvd drive which is shown in device manager as located on the primary ide channel while the hard drive is located on the secondary channel. Because I would like to update the dvd drive to the latest firmware (version 1.06; to be able to recognize more blank media) but the LG site recommends that the drive (dvd) be located on the secondary ide channel.
I already tried to uninstall every channel from the device manager but all would still be the same after reboot, dvd drive on primary, hard drive on secondary.
Current ide mode in BIOS is set to AHCI+IDE mode, DMA modes are fine (UDMA4 for dvd, UDMA5 for hard drive), boot sequence (1st=HD, 2nd=DVD, 3rd=Floppy drive)
Tried switching to IDE mode only in BIOS but would not detect the optical drive. Never tried RAID+IDE mode since I only have a single hard drive.
I'm not sure but if I try to update the firmware, it might instead try to update the hard drive's firmware instead of the optical drive and make the hard drive unusable.
I would like to know if anybody with this same situation was able to successfully update the optical drive's firmware or is there some way to place the optical drive on the secondary ide channel and the hard drive on primary for me to follow and replicate the process.
Thank you for any replies.

Thanks sir NovJoe for the reply.
Just received the solution from another forum where I posted the same problem.
They said that the flash program for the firmware will detect the drive on its own and would not flash other devices except the optical drive itself. So its pretty safe, and I can confirm this since I just flashed my ODD a little over a while ago and everything went fine. No errors.
Though I'm speaking for the brand of ODD I own and may be different for other brands so take precautions as well. It may be different for the others.

Help needed to optimize the query

Help needed to optimize the query:
The requirement is to select the record with max eff_date from HIST_TBL and that max eff_date should be > = '01-Jan-2007'.
This is having high cost and taking around 15mins to execute.
Can anyone help to fine-tune this??
   SELECT c.H_SEC,
                c.S_PAID,
                c.H_PAID,
                table_c.EFF_DATE
   FROM    MTCH_TBL c
                LEFT OUTER JOIN
                   (SELECT b.SEC_ALIAS,
                           b.EFF_DATE,
                           b.INSTANCE
                      FROM HIST_TBL b
                     WHERE b.EFF_DATE =
                              (SELECT MAX (b2.EFF_DATE)
                                 FROM HIST_TBL b2
                                WHERE b.SEC_ALIAS = b2.SEC_ALIAS
                                      AND b.INSTANCE =

                   AND table_c.INSTANCE = 100;

To start with, I would avoid scanning HIST_TBL twice.
Try this
select c.h_sec
     , c.s_paid
     , c.h_paid
     , table_c.eff_date
from mtch_tbl c
left
join (
          select sec_alias
               , eff_date
               , instance
            from (
                    select sec_alias
                         , eff_date
                         , instance
                         , max(eff_date) over(partition by sec_alias, instance) max_eff_date
                      from hist_tbl b
                     where eff_date >= to_date('01-jan-2007', 'dd-mon-yyyy')
                        or eff_date is null
           where eff_date = max_eff_date
              or eff_date is null
       ) table_c
    on table_c.sec_alias = c.h_sec
   and table_c.instance = 100;

Hi,
We need to convert the Binary data in the BLOB field to readable format and need to display it in Oracle Apps Environment,does anybody come across the similar requirement.
please advise, thanks in advance.

You could use standard Attachments functionality here ... if the blob is not in FND_LOBS, insert into FND_LOBS, fnd_attached_documents etc to enable viewing via "Attachments" to the entity the blob is related to.

I need to upgrade the silverlight version that is deployed with the SCCM 2012 client installation

We have SCCM 2012 SP1 installed and I need to upgrade the version of silverlight that get installed on the client deployement.
The version that is automaticly deployed is 5.1.10411.0 and this one is not compatible with Firefox. When you click on Application Catalog it start the browser but it fails to load because of the silverlight plug-in that is not up to date. The
version that is working fine is the 5.1.20913.0 and it's already installed on my SCCM site server.
So that is why I'm looking to upgrade the silverlight that is installed with the SCCM client.
I know that a simple workarround would be to create a package that would be deployed after the client gets installed, but why not changing the original package at the source instead of installing twice the same software the get the right version!
Is there someone that could point me where I could upgrade this Silverlight prerequirement software version ?

Note that I have not tested either of these and they will not be supported by Microsoft.
1. Copy your new version of Silverlight.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\i386
(you'll have to re-distribute the client package after this).
OR
2. You could edit the ccmsetup.xml file with an alternative location for silverlight.exe

I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id?

I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Is it just the app store unlink? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id? Will they get removed when I unlink my apple id?
Are there any other procedures I need to take into account?
Thanks

You need to remove all software that you acquired from the Mac App Store, including newer versions of OS X. These are all registered to you and encoded with your Apple ID in the licensed copy. You cannot legally pass any of the software to the new owner, which is why Apple states to erase the Mac and return it to the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac. You must also remove any older Apple software that you installed by DVD or pass the DVD to the new owner with the Mac.
