Ideas for a new kernel patchset

Hi,
I'm not much satisfied with the kernel patchsets currently available for Arch, so I'm planning a new patchset (well... it was ready when it was 2.6.20.7 based, but now I'm making a new 2.6.21 based one).
These would be the planned patches:
genpatches ( http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/ ) [not all when they were for 2.6.20... we'll see for 2.6.21]
AppArmor ( www.novell.com/linux/security/apparmor/ )
PaX ( http://grsecurity.net/ ) [not the whole grsecurity patchset]
cfs-scheduler ( http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/ ) [a new scheduler from Ingo Molnar... better than the -ck one? Probably yes.]
Suspend 2 ( http://www.suspend2.net/ )
SKAS ( http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/ )
Squashfs ( http://squashfs.sourceforge.net/ )
Unionfs ( http://www.am-utils.org/project-unionfs.html )
Reiser4 ( http://www.namesys.com/ )
ACPI DSDT ( http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml )
There are some small fixes (genpatches), some "hardening" patches (AppArmor, PaX, SKAS), a new scheduler (cfs-scheduler), improved filesystems support (Squashfs, Unionsfs, Reiser4) and the usual useful things (Suspend 2, ACPI DSDT).
Do you have any other idea? Let me know.

Suspend2 seems like a kernel-space only approach. Splashy is an user-space only approach. So no controversial userspace<->kernelspace interfaces using Suspend2 and Splashy (I think... tell me if I'm wrong).
splashy is totally userspace.
suspend2 has an option to support userspace progress interfaces, such as userui, fbsplash and others. but the logic and function of suspend2 does not depend on this, it's entirely in the kernel.
fbsplash is userspace* and can give progress and everything from userspace, however it cannot set the terminal backgrounds unless it is patched -- none of the userspace splash tools set the background.
regardless, before you get carried away, you might want to work out why you're making this patchset. and for each patch, why are you including it, do people really need these, or are you just beefing it up to try and make one size fit all? This doesn't always work as well as you'd think, and makes testing damn near impossible.
Work these things out, or you'll probably end up like the other long gone patchsets, nitro, dark, emission, love, ragnarok, klight, light, kamikaze, no, kot, morph, rad, skunk, cko or hammer. And there's more...

Where can I send an idea for a new feature.

I have an idea for a new feature in Illustrator. I'd like to share it to the developers.
Is there a channel to send your idea?
Thank you!

Thanks for the replies.
I know that this feature does not serve everybody, but I could use it on a weekly basis.
I don't know if there is a script for this, and if there is, plese let me know it.
Transparent working window.
So I could set my whole artboard window transparent and still work on it.
I could easily and fast trace some shapes from locked PDF's and also directly from the browser without copying the image to my computer.
The problem is, of course, that Zoom would only work in the graphics in the Illustrator (needless to say) and would not affect to the graphics behind the Illustrator window.
But still I think I could use it very much.
For examble I could manually draw simple shapes and logos straight from the customers website, without downloading the poor JPG image.
Please let me know what you think about it.
Sorry if there is some mistakes, English is not my native.
I hope you got the point.

I have an idea for a new feature of the calendar app on a new software version. Does anyone know how to contact Apple to let them know the idea?

So whichever applicable suggest us or give some ideas for the project to improve our skills.
Note: we are one year experienced in java Programming.

Hi Lrj1985,
According to your description, in order to allow users to know the probability of collecting from a debtor dependent on different dimension, you nedd to produce an OLAP cube to perform this. Since you haven't done this for a few years, now what you
are looking for is that the ideas, starting points or direction to build the OLAP cube, right?
In this case, here are some links which describe how to build a cube step by step, please see:

Got an idea for a new feature or feature improvement?

Our FAQ contains a list of in progress and unfinished features, so please check that out.
We're interested in hearing from you on how we can improve Parfait by improving or adding a new feature. Please provide as much detail as possible, and make sure to tell us why it is important to you. If your idea is for a new feature, it would be helpful to understand how you get it done now, and how the new feature would make your life better.
Thanks!

Helo Kieran,
• Integration with Creative Cloud or LayerVault (LV would be nice for versioning etc.)
BB> We're working on integrating with Creative Cloud. You'll get versioning, commenting, sharing (file or folder level), and sync. We expect to be able to roll this out later this year.
• Importing guides from the .PSD as well as having the rulers on the sides
BB> Good idea, and we're considering this. For now, some people are creating guides on a layer in Ps, then toggling that layer's visibility in Parfait.
• When doing a Shift + Click on two elements, depending on the circumstance, spit out the margin or padding values into the CSS panel
BB> This is also something we've considered. We think this should be done in combination with adding support for guides or another temporary measurement aid, so you can position the container around an item to make sure you get the info you want. Still working out design and details on this one, and no ETA.
• Having something like a marquee tool to measure between two points (I know this can be done using the Shift+Click but some elements aren't accurate eg. images inside clipping masks)
BB> Yes, we're considering this, as I mentioned in the point above.
• The tags that are created when you select a font in the right-hand-side panel are black with a white "T", it's quite hard to see (not really a feature but I thought it was worth mentioning )
BB> Thanks for the feedback, and we'll take another look at them to see if we can improve.
And thanks for offering to help with testing - we are improving Parfait and pushing out new builds frequently, so please check back often and let us know what you think.

Hello, I have a new idea for apple... an idea for a new software !!! I need to know how to contact an official way to apple. Please help me

I need to know how to contact an official way to apple !!! an E-mail official a site official... anything... Please help me, is a project for a new software.

Apple does not accept unsolicited ideas. If you insist on sending them your idea according to Apples policies the idea becomes the property of Apple and you loose all rights to it.
It would be better for you to develop the idea, then if it amounts to anything and Apple is interested they will contact you. (As with Apples current move to acquire Beats Electronics).
regards

How do you contact Apple if you have an idea for a new product for Apple to use with their phone I want to send a photo

idea for Apple product how do you send your idea

See Apple - Legal - Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy
Basically they do not accept unsolicited ideas but if you insist on sending the idea to them they own it outright. If the idea is that good you should look into developing it yourself. Then once it's a hit Apple may buy to from you.
good luck

Ideas for a new SSAS Project

Hi,
I have jus started a new job in a debt collection company and one of the things they said they where looking for was for me to create something that would allow them to know the probability of collecting from a debtor dependent on different dimensions i.e.
area of the UK they live in, age, gender, maital status etc. and also future projections etc.
I would like to produce an OLAP Cube to perform this because I havnt done one for a few years now and forgetting my skills.
Can anybody help me with any ideas and starting points, any direction at all would be welcomed greatly.
Thank You

Great idea for a new feature in genius

Hi All,
Personally the main type of music I like is all/any music in the iTunes store top 100.
A really cool feature would be if genius makes a playlist for you, and keeps it updated with a certain playlist in the iTunes store. (For example the iTunes top 100)
It would be updated to keep your playlist in the same order as the iTunes store playlist. Also, when a new song is on the store playlist, it will prompt you to purchase to keep your playlist updated.
This would be a really cool and convenient feature if you just wanted to listen to the top songs on your iPod/iPhone without the commercials of commercial radio!
And if this was a success, it could look at a 3rd party's playlist (such as America's top 40) and keep the playlist updated with songs from the iTunes store, but in the playlist order of the 3rd party. And again, it would prompt you to buy new songs if you don't own the ones on the auto playlist from the iTunes store!
I would love to see what the apple fans think of this idea!
Sam.

Best IDE for a new team (Help)

We are embarking on a brand new project with new team (startup). This application is JSP/Servlet and most probably J2EE (dont know yet)
Others (CSS, AJAX, JScript, JDBC etc usual)
Can you please suggest me what is the best IDE if we have to
start fresh.
I have the following in mind: NetBeans 5.0, Sun Studio Enterprise 8 (or wait for 8.1) and Eclipse. (or) please suggest another which you find excellent.
Thanks
- Ravi

Netbeans is probably the best for JavaEE development.

Ideas for a new product: Combining RMI, JMS, ...

Hello!
I am an experienced Java programmer trying to think of a mid-sized
(i.e., less than 10,000 lines of code) project that uses remote computing
(RMI and the like) and JMS to create a product that would be of frequent
utility. I have some ideas but not sure which direction is most effective.
This should be a web based application (inclueding webservice) . If some one
can share his/her thoughts/experiences on this I would be thankful.

Here is Apple's official statement on the subject:
http://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/policies/ideas.html
They'll take suggestions via their feedback pages, but by submitting that way you give up any and all rights to the idea as well as any possibiliity of credit or compensation for said ideas.

Ideas for a new program

Ive recently finished making a chat program using (predominantly) nio. I learnt a lot about sockets, network programming etc which was really interesting since ive never made anything along those lines before.
Im now wanting to learn more about network programming and programs that are not just stand alone. I cant however think of any ideas on what to make. I made the chat server/client program just out of interest and to see if I could do it, but know that im interested in that type of programming im out of ideas.
If anyone has any ideas that will include nio, sockets, networks etc that will not be too complicated but at the same time will be more involved than a chat application, so I can learn more about all of this I would appreciate it.
Thanks for the ideas
R

make client run in java enabled browser's
could be jnlp/webstart or applet.
make clients able to talk to server able to talk to client and then make client talk to client.
Try it, it is fun ;)
The most interesting thing you'll find is how to break through NAT, try it , it is fun ;)

Ideas for a new update....

I was thinking that apple should make a update for the ipod touch so we can send and share songs wirelessly,like the zune can..and also since they already added notes in events,in the calander ..they should just make a note icon in the main menu like the iphone has so you dont have to make useless events also i have the latest update and when i use coverflow for a lil bit itll crash and then it will keep on crashing...what new features would you like for the ipod touch???
Message was edited by: LukeRocksALot101

these forums are meant for technical questions regarding apple hardware and software not for general discussion. You mention many things you wish the ipod touch could do. there is no apple employees here so your comments fall on deaf ears. For all comments regarding future firmware updates adn what you wish to see in them and what you wisht he ipod touch could do please direct all comments to the link below for that is where feedback should be directed to be directly read by apple.

Ideas for a new Infraestructure Based on Oracle VM

Hello,
I need some help or information about Oracle VM.
I want to install an Active /Active system with:
1x Server of Oracle e-Business Suite
1x Server of Oracle PeopleSoft
1x Server of OBIEE
1x Server of Oracle DataBase
How is the best way to mount this? Anyone could recommend me any post off "The best way" or something like this in order to start to defining that system.
The Idea is 2 physical server, balancing charge, and if one server go down the other one attend the demand of the other. People connect in our lan and outside of our lan.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure if I catch your question correctly...
You want to have 2 physical servers where you run 4 virtual machines per physical server and you want to have the same setup on your other VM server. The virtual machines on physical machine (A) should be a “HA cluster” with the virtual machines on physical machine (B)
Something like that… I guess you can break this down to the basics. Just create virtual machines and build a HA setup like you would do without virtualization… you can have a peak at what Steven Chan wrote about this at http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2008/11/disaster_recovery_oracle_ebusiness_release_12.html
