Ideas for a Bad Display

I don't have a PBG4 15" but I'd like to get one. I'm just going by what I've heard and want to ask someone if they'll try this and see if it helps the lines.
First this is the first PB to have on board AirPort, so try disabling AirPort and BlueTooth as well and see if that helps.
I wonder if the lines have anything to do with being on battery/AC. I have heard stories of wavy PB screens on AC.
Do those with the issue ever notice the lines move? that would be a dead on interference problem IMO.
And if someone is willing to open up their PB, does moving the video cable and/or toying with shielding on the display/display cable/GPU help any? I wonder if maybe interference is generated within the LCD panal. Will someone look at theirs with the backlight completely off and report their findings?
Finally, it seems like this may be an issue with the brightness of the LCD (which is why i'm curious of how it would look with no backlight)
Will someone put an all black image on the monitor and see if it's noticable then? maybe even post a picture so others can see?
Does anyone notice some difference in the lines if they flex the LCD panel slightly (pull the left side in and push the right out) or if they tap or push on the LCD from either the back or the front?
Thanks to anyone who replies with some answers.
Hopefully I can get a 15" soon. I really want to get a PowerBook. This knowledge of the screen issue has set me back some on it. I'd love to get a 17" if it didn't have this issue which it seems like it doesn't but that's really too big for what I want (I have a desktop here with a 24" widescreen CRT that gets 2304x1440 so I will use the desktop when I wanna push pixels) and it's way too expensive.
Thanks for anyone and everyone's time.

I suggest you go to an Apple store and try those things out on your own, or just go buy one.
I'm not about to take mine apart, but I'll say that it has nothing to do with AirPort or Bluetooth,
being plugged in to the AC adapter or battery,
the faint white horizontal lines do not move (but there are diagonal moving lines in certain colors, especially on the top left part of the screen),
I'm about 99.9% sure it has nothing to do with the brightness,
the lines are not noticeable on white, black, or pure red, green or blue with full RGB values,
and flexing the screen doesn't do anything at all (except put unnecessary strain on the display)
This is either a problem with the LCD, or the graphic card, and right now, I'm banking on LCD (since the lines don't show up on an external monitor.)

Ideas for algorithm to display how many words in a sentence differ?

For example......
sentenceA: I went to the store today.
sentenceB: I want to the store tdoay.
...easy case...compare word by word, we see one difference. BUT, this fails in a case such as the one below:
sentenceA: I went to the store today.
sentenceB: I went went to the store today.
....if we just compare word by word, it will fail on the 3rd word, and all the subsequent words will not match as well. We want this case to be returned as 1 error.
Any ideas? I've tried some algoriths that read both sentences both forward and backwards and compares, and this helps with the extra inserted words, but it is not foolproof/ideal for all cases.
Maybe I am missing some obvious way to accomplish this?
Thanks alot for any ideas/inspiration guys!

turbo, I thought about this again. I'd still recommend you look at some texts on compiler construction. The scanner (in your case) would return one word at a time. If punctuation is not significant in your case, then the scanner should ignore things like periods, commas, etc.
In a compiler situation, the parser compares the token against a grammar to determine if the token fits any of the rules. In your case, the "rule" could simply be the contents of one of the documents in a "tokenized" format (meaning, if the punctuation is not significant, the tokenized list omits those). The "tokenized" contents of the second document could be compared against that of the first one.
I have not dealt with compiler writing for quite a few years and so some of the concepts are quite rusty. One of those is the error handling and restarting the parsing process. If I may, that's the area you may want to check. Methinks you ought to be able to adapt that approach to fit your requirements. Just a parser can count the number of errors, yours should be able to keep track of the number of mismatches.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Ideas for locating a Apple cinema display next to an iMac

I have recently purchased 20-inch Cinema display to the left of my 20-inch iMac. Since there is about a 3-inch difference in display height, the Cinema display is currently sitting atop enough paper so that they are parallel to each other. My question is: Does anyone know of hardware available or a better idea so that the displays are equal in height.
Thanks,

Any idea for high display resolution in application sharing server ?

Hi.
I installed EP6 SP 13 with KMC and configure collaboration feature.
I tested application sharing and It works.
Then, I found problem.
Problem is that application sharing server doesn't support 1400x1050 display resolution. (only works till 1280x1024)
Is there any idea for solving this issue ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold,
I'm afraid this screen resolution is not yet supported. The official supported screen resolution is 1024x768 ! but as you stated it can work wit 1280x1024. You could open an OSS ticket and ask the KM Development for plans on supporting higher resolutions in application sharing and let us also know.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Help! Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects. I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow. Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time. I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

Best current ideas for wireless AIO printer for MBP? Prefer not HP or Canon(my MX 850's bad match)*

Would appreciate best current ideas for wireless AIO printer to pair with MBP (bought late 2011). Prefer not HP or Canon. Got my MX 850 to print -- with lots of work -- but would not scan. Tried to fix that, now won't print or scan. Time to move forward, leaving Canon along with Dell notebook in recycle bin. Thanks for any suggestions.

Eclipse 1.3.2 window freezes issue, wrong IDE for win 7 or bad config?

Hi everyone, this is my first thread on this forum...well this is my first thread ever.
I wasn't sure where to post my question, but since it is veeeery noobish, I'm posting it here instead of the obscure 'other' development section.
I installed the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers the other day version 1.3.2 for my OS which is Windows 7 x86.
I installed the Java SE development kit 6 and had already the Java 6 runtime thingy installed way before I even considered studying computer science.
The problem is that when I run the code below the Java popup window appears.....but it won't close if I click on the 'x' to close it :/
Anyone knows the cause to this problem? It would save me a lot of time and mental sanity, I've been fighting with it for some time now.
Thanks in advance.

      Label label;
      label = new Label("Fuck you!");
      add(label);
      pack();
      setVisible(true);

Nevermind gimbal2, the issue has been solved and I've had some time on my hands to figure out that the IDE wasn't giving me those problems in other istances other than the one I presented in this thread, it was the code itself :/
Now I'm more aware and have started ignoring the feeling of helplessness of trying to learn a OOP language with such huuuuuge resources and APIs..The trick is to learn how to find answers. A forum shouldn't be your first visit, your brain is. Try to reason why you are getting certain errors or why something isn't working. If you get an error, copy/paste the part that is not specific to you into Google and see what you get. Mostly the error you get is the result of something else blowing up, look further and see if maybe something else was not working either.
Sometimes you have to deeper. I have had occasions where I needed to download the source code of an API so that I could step through it in debugging mode. That in itself is for me a very good reason to stick with open source stuff only; debugging capabilities.

Ideas for Symbian Platform

If you have some ideas how make symbian better and you want to share with it please join to the symbian community
http://ideas.symbian.org/homepagelight
http://www.symbian.org/

Symbian is simply ****UGLY**** Take a look at the s^3 interface in N8 reviews, its just as ugly as the N97 interface. and it still looks as if it's just S60v3 ported to a touch device, the "options" and the "back" button on the bottom of the display are still there like in S60v3. Duhhhh, I mean seriously, there are better ways of controlling a touch interface than putting a touch sensitive version of the S60 "soft key" concept. Instead of copying the "non user-replaceable battery" idea from apple, they could have attempted copying the UI. But there's a problem, apple won't sue nokia if they copy a drawback of the iphone, but would definitely take steps if they copy an USP of the apple product I won't post an idea in that link you provided, instead I'd post an idea for nokia here, Dear nokia decision makers, Symbian is nonsense. Please drop symbian rubbish. You made a bad investment in symbian and you are punishing your loyal customers for a mistake that you made. There's still time, you are still number one. Please drop symbian while there's time. Best of luck.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

Ideas for a beginner to program

I've started mentoring a young student - teaching him LabVIEW. He
is enjoying it and we have covered the basics. Now I need to come up
with a project for him to start writing a program(s) on his own. For
the time being, I would like to keep it to calculations/analysis/display
kinds of things (no Daq hardware). I was wondering if anyone had ideas
(or previous experience) of such kinds of programs - something
relatively easy at this point, but useful/fun enough to keep him interested.
Thanks,
Dave

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Here is an idea for a nice little project would be:
(assuming no Daq or GPIB hardware).
Open a binary file. Parse the file to identify the OP codes and operands. Translate it to "english". Display the translation and write it to another file.
You can expand to opening a serial port, communicating to a serial device. Interpret the data (especially if there is some sort of waveform to analyze). Plot the data "real-time". Display warnings or conditions if low or high limits are reached, or if a number of samples has been achieved.
Prompt for user intervention (what to do with the data, ie: save it to file, display it, print it, etc). Allow for user control of the vi (Run / Pause / Stop / Abort).
The above should provide basic functionality where ther
e is no instrument to control or a data-acquisition system to monitor.
Are you looking for real projects? Maybe a bit more challenging?

Creative ideas for Remote Backups and Working from Home??

Here's my problem in a nutshell:
My primary workstation is at my office where all my important files are stored. I backup once a month onto an external firewire drive which I (usually) keep off location in case of fire/theft etc.
In the future I'm going to need to conduct about 75% of my work from my office and the remainder from home. I'd like to be able to work on a file at my office. Go home. Sleep. And be able to work on the same file from home the next morning.
Any ideas for how I should do this? One solution I had was to run a nightly backup of my office computer (a tower) to a remote firewire drive at home (basically a clone). I could then plugin into the firewire drive with my laptop. This would also serve as a remote backup of my client's files.
Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions or pointers in terms of easy-to-use backup software. And how complicated would it be to set this up to a remote drive? And will there be problems with remotely backing us, say, a 500 MB file?
Cheers!

What O/Ss are involved; are they both OS X? Home OS X, work Windows?
Many people telecommute by running the applications remotely, with a display server connecting their application to the system they're using. For instance, my work system is Linux; all applications use X windows as their display interface. My home system is OS X, which includes an optional X windows display server. Most of the time, when I need to work from home, I run a VPN client and use 'ssh -X' from an xterm under X on OS X to log in to my office system; and then I can run any application on my office system and have it display on my OS X system.
Similar solutions exist for most common OSs. Windows systems can run VNC or Citrix to export their display to clients that can run on OS X, Linux, or Windows; OS X can run Remote Desktop to export their display to clients that can run on Linux or OS X; etc.

Any ideas for a (fairly) simple program?

Does anybody have any ideas for a fairly simple program that I could try to write (I am a fair programmer, but I'm not to creative)?

You know, Java Game Programming for Dummies is actually a pretty good book (despite the "Dummies" part!) It is written in 1.0, but it has a "ponglet", card games, and several maze games. All the applets I've tried from them actually work (some typos in the book itself, but the CD is ok). Any of these could be "starter" code.
Yahoo has a whole bunch of Java applet games. You could try to reproduce pieces of the games you see. (These are also interesting in the sense that you can immediately see what works in a game and what doesn't.)
It is always fun to write little components. Cool buttons (write a nice little non-rectangular button that lights up or something), text boxes that look like digital displays, funny text labels (maybe with a weird font or with letters that jump all over the place when you mouse over them).. These don't take a whole lot of time to write, but write them well and they are very useful for your future games.
Enjoy!

How to search for a BADI in a transaction

Hi All,
Please let me know the steps to find a BADI for a transaction.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.S

check this.
u can find BADI's in different ways...
1>First go to any transaction->iN THE menu bar SYSTEM->STATUS->Get the program name ->double click->u will go to the program attached to the tcode.Now search term will be CALL CL_EXITHANDLER.Now u will get list of BADI'S available..
2>Goto SE24->Give class name as CL_EXITHANDLER->Display->double click on get_instance mathod->Now u will go inside the method->Now put break point on the cl_exithandler.Now go to any transaction code and pass dat..U will see that it will be stopped on the break point which u set on the cl_exithandler...In the exit name u can find list of badi's attached to the tcode..
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
/people/alwin.vandeput2/blog/2006/04/13/how-to-search-for-badis-trace-it
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.
The simplese way for finding BADI is
1. chooes Tcode Program & package for that Tcode.
2. Go to Tcode se18
3. Press F4
4. search by package or by program.

Unable to create the implementation for BBP_PD_DOWNLOAD badi

Hi ,
Iam trying to create a new implementation for this BADI BBP_PD_DOWNLOAD as zbbp_pd_download but when iam trying to activate it .iam getting a message that already active implementation is there and i cannot create a new implementation unless i deactivate the other one.since it is a standard one i cannot deactivate it .
Has any one used this earlier . any inputs on this wil be of great help .
Thanks in advance

Hi
You can create any number of Customer Implementations, provided only one is active at a time.
Here are the steps ->
Either Using SE18 / SE19 Transaction, or
After you call the IMG activity, the system displays a dialog box where you enter a name for the implementation.
If implementations of this Business Add-In have already been created, the system displays them in a dialog box. You then choose one of them by choosing Create, and continue as follows:
1. In the dialog box, enter a name for the implementation of the Add-In and choose Create. (Say ZBADI)
The system displays the initial screen for creating Business Add-In implementations.
2. On this screen, enter a short description for you implementation in the Implementation Short Text field.
3. If you choose the Interface tab, you will notice that the system has filled in the Name of the Implementing Class field automatically, by assigning a class name based on the name of your implementation.
4. Save your entries and assign the Add-In to a package.
5. To edit a method, double-click its name.
6. Enter your implementation code between the method <Interface Name>~<Name of Method>. and endmethod. statements.
7. Save and activate your code. Navigate back to the Change Implementation screen.
Note: You can also create an implementation for an Add-In and not activate it until later. If you want to do this, do not carry out the following step:
8. Choose Activate.
When the application program is executed, the system carries out the code in the method you wrote.

Ideas for Providing User Level Data Backup and Restore

I'm looking for ideas for implementing a user level application data backup and restore in an Apex app.
What would be great is to have a user be provided an export file and a way to import this file. A bit overkill but hopefully never needed.
Another option that is perfectly doable is a report that simply provides a means to create an export of the data. Since I already have an interface I can use an export to interface an export.
Any thoughts?
Hopefully I'm missing something already there for an end user to use.

jlincoln wrote:
"Do you mean "export" and "import" colloquially, or in the specific sense of the exp/imp/datapump utilities?"': I mean as in imp/exp Oracle utilities. Generally speaking, it would be neat to be able to export and import via an Apex an application. In this hosted environment I don't have that access but would this be a bad idea if you don't care about the existing data in the schema in which the data resides?I can envisage a mechanism using <tt>exp/imp</tt>, but since it requires <tt>dbms_scheduler</tt> external jobs and access to the file system it's highly unlikely to be possible in a hosted environment. (Unless you're doing the hosting?)
Backup: Necessary for piece of mind and flexibility. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group.
Restore: Like I said. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group. This is a very small data set. A restore would simply remove existing data and replace it with the new data.My opinion is that time would be better spent working on the user rather than a redundant backup and restore feature. Involve them in a disaster recovery exercise with whoever is hosting the environment to prove that their data is safe. Normally the inclusion of data in regular, effective database backups is sold as a major feature of APEX solutions.
"What about security/privacy when this data ends up in uncontrolled environments?": I don't understand the point of this question. The data should not end up in uncontrolled environments. Just like the data in the database or its backups.Again, having data in a central, shared location protected by multiple levels of application, database, and OS security is usually seen as a plus for APEX over VB/Access. Exporting the data in toto to a PC/laptop that can be stolen or lost, and where it can be copied to USB drives/phones/email loses this protection.
User Level: Because the end user must have access to the backup and restore mechanisms of the application.
Application Data: The application data. Less than 10MB. Very small. It can be exported in a flat file downloaded by the end user. This file can then be used to upload and import via an existing application interface. For example.
"I'm struggling to parse this for meaning.": When I say I have an existing interface I am referring to a program residing in the Apex application that will take data from a flat table structure (i.e. interface table), validate the data, derive data, and load into the target table structure.Other than the report export capability linked to above, there's nothing built-in to APEX that comes close to your requirement. If the data is simple enough that it can be handled in such a report, and you have a process that can read and recreate this export, then you have your backup/restore capability. If the data can't be handled in a simple report, then you'll need a more complex PL/SQL process to generate the file.
