I wish to kick myself

Dear Solaris forummmers,
After having gone through some of the discussions here, I understand that Solaris 8 (for Intel x86) was available for free download and Sun decided to make it paid.
Can anyone tell me how many months before was Solaris 8 available for a free download, so that I can kick myself in the butt that many times?
It was almost an year ago that I decided to doanload and learn Solaris. But for some strange reason I took a u-turn towards Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I deeply regret it now- the "advanced server" crashes very often.
So who wants to kick me and how many times?
SNODX

I'd be more than happy to slap you 'upside the head.

  • No longer kicking myself :)

    Yesterday I was able to successfully get a CLI on my Amazon store card using Synchrony's chat. I requested $3,000, which came back as approved with no counter offer.  We all know that when Sync doesn't counter offer, you left money on the table. The burning question is, "How much?" Boredom set in at work, and I decided to see just how much I shorted myself. I got on the chat and requested $7,000. Got a counter offer for $3,500. So it doesn't look like I left too much on the table, and now I got as much as they're willing to give me at this time   My history with this card has gone from bad to good. It started at $700 and wouldn't budge, even with heavy use. I spend quite a bit on Amazon every month, and throw it all on this card, hoping to get a little appreciation. After 8 statements, I finally got a LUV button CLI to $1200. I immedately charged $900 on the card to take advantage of a 0% for 12 months offer, which I've paid down several hundred dollars. Two  statements later, I'm finally at $3,500   Synchrony hasn't shown me much LUV on their other card I have (American Eagle), but they're being a lot nicer to me with my Amazon card. 

    Congrats on your CLI!

  • D'Oh! I kicked myself out of the APEX Administration. Help!

    Hi,
    i did a terrible mistake.
    While i was clicking around in the APEX Internal Workspace i changed the Value of "Disable Administrator Login" (I don't know if this is the correct description in english) from NO to YES.
    Now i can't change that value back because i can't login into the admin page and the workspace login doesn't work either. I get a white screen when i try to login to server/pls/htmldb or server/pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin.
    The applications are still working.
    How can i reverse that stupid action?
    Please help!

    I found the solution:

  • Grr I could kick myself... crushed smd near cpu socket

    Damn I'm having a bad day.
    Just got a k8n diamond plus and a fx-57 from eBay and after testing it with a normal sink/fan I wanted to put my watercooling on it.
    Had a hard time removing the backplate from the board. For some reason it had doublesided tape on and hadn't been removed for some time and I almost gave up. So I fetched a spoon from the kitchen and it worked surprisingly good.
    Until I heard that awful crunching sound. I crushed one of those damn small smds, it is right under the c51d chip.
    The "legs" of the smd are still attached to the board but the center it gone.
    Is there any way I can get a new component? I have a k8n sli platinum that I could use for spares. But I don't know witch of the smds to use

    Great.
    I've been busy the school lately so I haven't had the time to contact [email protected] So I decided to take some better pictures and mail them. I just needed the mail address and checked back on he forum and saw your post.
    If it matters you can see a better image here:
    Thanks for getting the component number. But where would I get it? I tried a quick google search and it didn't return much of value.

    One song at a time.  Open the Wish List, and click on the price for the song.
    (Older versions of iTunes had a Buy All button to allow purchasing the whole list at once, but that feature is no longer there.)

  • How can I invite myself

    Hi everybody,
    I was wondering, if it is possible to invite myself in iCal? By this I mean, if I set up an appointment in my iCal at home, I'd like to add myself with my work e-mail address as an participant. However, this does not work. I guess iCal is too intelligent here. I have all of my details (private and work) in one address card in AddressBook. So when I type in my work e-mail in the participants field in iCal, it recognises that it is me, and just does not overtake this e-mail address for that event. Rellay, too intelligent...
    ...of course I could set up a seperate address card for me with my work details, but I think this is stupid, and not at all Apple-like.

    I recently realized, that Apple have changed something concerning this issue:
    Since I installed Snow Leopard, I even do not show up anymore in the participants list. E.g. when I type in my family name, only my relatives from my address book are shown as proposals, but not me anymore.
    I do not understand, for what reason it is regarded as an odd wish to invite myself. That would just be so useful...

  • Is there a way to sync photos alphabetically with iTunes 10.7.0

    After upgrading to iOS 6 and iTunes 10.7.0 (from 10.6.1.7), my photos are extremely out of order and too jumbled up to even bother looking through. Before iTunes 10.6.3 and 10.7.0, photos were arranged by alphabetical order, not date taken or whatever it is sorted by now.
    I adapted to the alphabetical ordering and named all of my pictures so that they would appear in alphabetical order like I wanted them to on my iPod touch 4th generation, and now Apple changes the ordering method so my photos are not in order. Why on earth did Apple suddenly change the method in which photos were sorted after being synced? And furthermore, why is there no option to revert back to alphabetical sorting? They took something that was perfect and made it complete garbage. I have ~10 folders each with upwards of 500 pictures in them, and while the folders are in order, the pictures in them are not and it's frustrating beyond belief.
    I can't downgrade my iTunes alone because it won't be compatible with iOS 6, and I can't downgrade both my iOS and iTunes together because then my iTunes Library.itl will not be recognized (does not recognize an iTunes Library.itl made by a newer ver of iTunes), and then my play counts, synced iPod data, and other iTunes info will all be wiped.
    This is stupid.. I want to know if there's a way to sort photos alphabetically like they did in the past few versions of iTunes (10.6.1.7 and a bit earlier), because now the 4 gb of photos stored on my iPod is just dead weight.

    I just noticed this tonight! I'm kicking myself for updating iTunes! I have well over 30.000 photos and now they are all out of order.
    I upgraded to 10.6.3.25 and all the photos are sorted by date now and none of the sub-folders are recognized.
    This has happened before and it took them over a year to fix it. I wish they would give us a preference as to how we want our images displayed. The whole photo cache thing is so ridiculous! Mine is up to 11GB right now.

  • I lost my iphone and would like a new one without paying $600

    I lost my iphone 1 month into my 2 year contract. I have my old phone that I've had for the past 3 years while I was waiting for the iphone to come to Verizon, but I'd really like to replace my iphone. I am kicking myself for not getting the insurance on it, but I can't do anything about that now. I'm the 2nd line and the primary line is eligible for an upgrade, but if I use that my husband is stuck with his 2 year old phone for the another 2 years.
    Is there anyway around all this or do I need to get a 2nd job to be able to afford to replace my iphone?

    Because Verizon requires a monthly data package on smart phones, your old number will be charged until you replace it while under contract.
    When  adding the new number to get another iphone, transferring old number to your new iphone, you may be able to then transfer the "new"  number to a basic device, minimizing costs. Ask if there is a penalty for dropping the monthly data package. Verizon has a $29.99/Unlim MB data package or the limited time promotional $15/150 MB. But it is manditory on all smart phones, even lost ones, unless replaced.
    WARNING: Ask the rep to confirm if you have the "Smartphone Talk Free promotion". (Very Likely)
    This is Verizon's warning verbatum, taking note of the last clause:
    If your plan includes the Smartphone Talk Free Promotion, the following conditions apply:
        * You must keep the $29.99 Data Package associated with your eligible Smartphone device
        * You must keep your current plan. If you change your plan, the promotion and the $9.99/line/mo.
          Credit will be removed.
        * An eligible Smartphone must be associated with your plan. If you upgrade or change to a
          non-Smartphone device, the promotion and the $9.99/line/mo. credit will be removed.
    BTW: People stuck with no good solution and wishing to avoid the contract cancellation penalty, have another option usually not mentioned. All carriers have a basic 1Yr service plan. Verizon's calls theirs Nationwide Loyalty 100, priced at $25 monthly, for 100m general and 500m N/W (all [email protected]),
    And it proves ideal for my 8th grader, a phone for texting and emergency calls.

  • Does creative plan to release a new mp3 play

    5 minutes ago a bought a Zen touch but noticed it was kinda outdated and i would really kick myself in the nads if creative releases a new mp3 player in about a month so are there any plans for a new one (one that just plays music and doesn't have all the extra features like video and pictures).
    The only thing that i don't like is the size it is kinda big.
    Hope creative has some plans on the near future

    Well the thing i didn't like about the sleek it was the battery and the thing it killed it for me is that i have to go to a menu to turn on the volume (i have a lot of songs that ha ve very differnt bitrate), so the only thing i found better was the desing, I kinda hope creative doesn't releases a new player and i kinda wish they would.
    I don't want to kick myself in the nads it really hurts!!!

  • How to tell if call/complaint has actually been re...

    I had a number of problems in setting up my BT phone line. To cut a long story short, I ordered a phoneline online last July 09. It turned out BT had decided I needed a new line put in, however I was not informed of this as BT decided to change my 12 month contract to an 18 month contract, without informing me until it was too late to cancel. I was only living in the flat for 12 months anyway, so this was no use to me.
    (a week or two after I recieved a letter to the previous occupant from BT, they had infact had a phone line with BT so I don't believe a new phoneline ever had to be put in)
    I spent a lot of time on the phone to BT in the next few weeks. The people answering my calls could be separated into roughly two categories: the openly useless (I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do) and those who sounded helpful but did not actually do anything ("someone will call you back tomorrow" - no call! or "I'll refer you to the investigations team" - nothing), when I called back to follow up the empty promises there generally wasn't any record of my making the previous call at all!.
    When I recieved my first bill, for the month BEFORE my contract even started (including charges for not having made a certain number of calls!) I once again picked up the phone and called BT, this time threatening to contact an ombusman. The man on the phone refunded me this in the next bill and also said that I would be able to cancel my contact without extra change in August 2010. He said he would put a note on my account, not ideal but I was satisfied.
    I have now reached the end of my tenancy and wish to cancel my account with BT. 9 days ago I sent an email using the service on this website outling my wish to end the contract. While I recieved a conformation of the email being sent, I did not recieve a reply and today phoned up the call centre. I spoke to a nice person on the phone who was unable to find a record of either my email or the note on my account allowing me to avoid some of the "early" cancellation fees. She says she had reffered me onto the complaints department and they will contact me in 5-7 working days.
    I want to believe her. But in my experiance, the staff who have actually said they would do something never have and these calls don't get recorded and notes aren't put onto my account. I think there must be some sort of glitch in my account meaning a lot of my calls just aren't registered as having happened. Its upsetting as sometimes I don't feel as though I'm being believed and I have to explain the whole thing everytime I phone. Today I forgot to ask for her name or a referance number, not that I've ever managed to get some sort of referance number before (surely that sort of system wouldnt be hard to impliment!) and I'm kicking myself.
    I'm going on holiday in a week, and will be away for just over 2 weeks so I'm worried about the next tenants in the house. Their tenancy starts tomorrow and I'm not sure what they'll want to do about the phone.
    I just want some assurance that my complaint is actually being dealt with and hasn't been lost in the system once again.

    Hi Kai,
    Thanks for posting. I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time in getting your line cancelled. I can certainly look into this for you. Drop me an email to [email protected] with the account details and a link to this post for reference and we'll take it from there.

  • Is there a way to have photos apper with most recent first on the camera ios 8' iphone 6

    IS there a way to set my photos in ascending order rather than decending in my camera? I want the most recent first. Ios 8 iphone 6

  • Which is better MBPr for music production? 8gb or 16gb

    Hi everyone:
    I am seeking suggestions here from fellow music artists/ DJs and tech wizards to help me make the "right" decision in where to invest my money.
    I don't know wether to buy the base model MBPr 15inch with 2.0Ghz Quad Core i7, 8gb ram and 256 flash drive. I am a musician and this laptop will solve two purposes
    1) Usual everyday Microsoft Office kinda stuff and web surfing and
    2) More importantly for Music production using Logic Pro X, Ableton 9 using KONTAKT and Omnisphere along with Reason Rewire for loops.
    THEREFORE, now I am second guessing my purchase on two aspects -->
    1) Is the 8GB enough to run, say a typical setup of Ableton along with 2-3 vsts softwares, would these specs on the MBPr last about 3-5 years?
    2) Is the 256 GB SSD going to be an issue with file sizes? I mean like I can always transfer stuff to an external drive and keep creating space but then its almost like having a McLaren SLR and running it constantly on EMPTY and getting gas filled in it every 2 miles. Idk....
    Any advise, nudge in the right direction, suggestions, recommendations would be much appreciated. . Is 8gb of ram enough? I am more on the 8gb ram side because of money issue also the place I am buying is offering 10% discount (cannot configure with the specs) I want to be happy with my purchase, but I don't want to be 2 years down the road kicking myself for not having gone with the 16GB and bigger SSD.
    Which is a notable problem with the rMBPs and their lack of upgradability.

    Hi whopkins85
    Well I ended up going with the 16GB Retina MBP. For the simple reason that the 8GB would've seen me constantly second guess my decision. Plus I wanted to "future proof" myself as best as I could knowing that these babies cannot be 'upgraded' with additional ram at a later date due the whole soldered RAM issue. So yeah I shelled out some extra money, bought my rMBP from B&H in NYC through their webstore and saved a ton on not having to pay sales tax since I am not a resident of NY state.
    Another thing I'd like to recommend to you is that if you plan on running a number of VSTs or AUs with your DAW especially of the nature of heavy sound libraries such as Spectrasonics Omnisphere or KOMPLETE then I would highly highly recommend purchasing a Lacie 2 or 3TB 7200 RPM external drive. I wish I had known this earlier but an incredibly efficient (and correct) way to run DAW with sound libraries to load your VSTs on an external drive which is either a fast SSD or at least a 7200 RPM. This way your system drive doesn't get overloaded reading and writing at the same time between multiple programs running in parallel. Once your system drive runs the DAW and the system accesses the sound libraries through and external drive, it makes for a much more efficiently managed read/write process.
    I hope this helps. My mantra for technology is, when in doubt go with max specs on a machine.
    Thanks for your post

  • 6.1.2 update and "no service"

    I've always struggled with "no service" on iPhones but since I got my iPhone 5 it's been near perfect, always had signal even in places I couldn't normally get a signal - that is, until I updated to 6.1.2. I'm kicking myself and am so frustrated. Since the update I get "no service" about 30% of the time, and I either have to switch it on to airplane mode and back or turn the whole thing on and off. Even then it doesn't always work.
    Is there a way of going back to previous software? Or do I just have to put up with this now?
    At the point of wishing I'd never got an iPhone. Should have learned my lesson after iPhone3, iPhone3GS and iPhone4!

    By any chance is Airplane mode on?  If not go turn Airplane Mode on and then back off again and see if that helps.

  • How to Send Output to Headphones

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get my sound to output to headphones I have plugged into the headphone jack on the front of my Mac. When going to the Sound panel the choices shown are Internal Speakers, Line Out, and Digital Out. When I choose Internal Speakers, it plays from the speakers but not the headphones. I looked under Help and it says to select "Headphones" - but I do not see a Headphones option to pick. What am I missing?!

    Update...
    After spending 30 minutes on the phone with Apple (who was about to charge me $50) - they told me it was a hardware issue and to take it in for repair...
    After that, I'd been searching on these discussion forums for days - and finally found someone post something SO simple that I could've kicked myself! But evidently I'm not the ONLY one who did this same thing - it should almost be a FAQ or something! Someone mentioned that you had to plug the headphone in all the way till you heard a CLICK. That was the problem the whole time! I was plugging it in, but just till it "stopped" and didn't realize you had to really SHOVE it in there to make it connect...! So anyway - all is well. I wish I could get back to that same Apple rep to tell them what the problem was, but then I do feel kinda stupid about it all now...!

  • This Pic cannot be imported correctly

    Someone is gonna kick me for this, and I will eventually kick myself I know.
    But for the life of me, I cannot import the following photo into iMovie from iPhoto and make it look great.
    http://www.tbrstudio.com/newpics/D2X_1395w.jpg
    It is jagged, jagged, jagged. It seems like I have tried everything from using higher rez, to adjusting the aspect ratio in Photoshop to meet the information I have read in this discussion group. It appears that most folks are exporting their iMovies to iDVD. I am not. I am going to offer this streamed through my website, or as part of a purchase folks make from me. Almost all of my other photos look fine, but this will not do what I wish it would do.
    Any advice I receive would be fantastic and much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Joel

    Some more questions: (Sorry)
    • Are your iMovie Playback preferences set to Highest? If not, change to that setting. Anything lower will look pretty bad.
    • Do you recall if you granted iMovie permission to render images when exporting? If you granted permission, that may have caused the jaggies on still images.
    If you don't know, import the problem photo with the Ken Burns checkbox both on and off, then export again. When it asks, tell iMovie NOT to render. After the export, check the quality of those two clips in iMovie. If the clips look better than the clips imported earlier, that suggests the jaggies were added because of that bug.
    • Other movies imported to iMovie may "turn into a jaggy mess" if they were smaller than iMovie's movie format. If they had to be scaled up in size, that will always affect image quality negatively. They can look pretty terrible, depending on the quality of the imported movie and its size.
    • What type of project is it? DV? (The type is shown at the end of the window title at the top of the window. It will say something like "DV-NTSC".)
    BTW, QuickTime, the system software iMovie uses, is a very complicated, multi-faceted environment, more complicated than anything else we do on our computers. Although iMovie does a great job protecting us from that complexity, there are tons of ways we can mess up a project.
    So when describing a problem, please include whatever details you can. Otherwise the problem has so many possible answers, we're left guessing, with nothing useful to say.
    I know it's hard to know what information to include, for you're new to the Mac and probably to QuickTime. But tell us what you can, for even the vaguest information helps. If you need help finding out answers to questions, just ask.
    I would be remiss if I didn't suggest a couple ways to learn more than can ever be covered here.
    • Apple's iMovie tutorial is very useful, although I suspect you're past much of what it offers:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/
    • David Pogue's book "iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual" will help you quickly get your head around these two programs. It's great for both getting a quick start and considerable depth of knowledge. And it's a fun read.
    http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/imovie06tmm/
    Pogue's book about Mac OS X is an excellent introduction to the Mac.
