Ideas for lastest chipsets and computing hardware

i have many ideas for silicone based builds and i would like input from everyone if you wish.
discrete graphics are great and i believe that both Intel and AMD have made great recent leaps in this architecture and i give them both respect.
i believe low cas is the way to go for memory to assist in optimal multi-core usage and rendering capability.
3-d technology looks amazing to me although i have yet to try it out myself as well as a lot of the newest touch screens.
i would like to see 4-8 system threads with high physics per thread and as low of frequency as possible for less power draw after all if we are going to be innovative we should be energy efficient at the same time.
my point of view is from a gamers and over clocking perspective with little understanding of the hard work that goes into the programming and server end of the computing industry.

  • Best Practices for Using Photoshop (and Computing in General)

    I've been seeing some threads that lead me to realize that not everyone knows the best practices for doing Photoshop on a computer, and in doing conscientious computing in general.  I thought it might be a good idea for those of us with some exprience to contribute and discuss best practices for making the Photoshop and computing experience more reliable and enjoyable.
    It'd be great if everyone would contribute their ideas, and especially their personal experience.
    Here are some of my thoughts on data integrity (this shouldn't be the only subject of this thread):
    Consider paying more for good hardware. Computers have almost become commodities, and price shopping abounds, but there are some areas where spending a few dollars more can be beneficial.  For example, the difference in price between a top-of-the-line high performance enterprise class hard drive and the cheapest model around with, say, a 1 TB capacity is less than a hundred bucks!  Disk drives do fail!  They're not all created equal.  What would it cost you in aggravation and time to lose your data?  Imagine it happening at the worst possible time, because that's exactly when failures occur.
    Use an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).  Unexpected power outages are TERRIBLE for both computer software and hardware.  Lost files and burned out hardware are a possibility.  A UPS that will power the computer and monitor can be found at the local high tech store and doesn't cost much.  The modern ones will even communicate with the computer via USB to perform an orderly shutdown if the power failure goes on too long for the batteries to keep going.  Again, how much is it worth to you to have a computer outage and loss of data?
    Work locally, copy files elsewhere.  Photoshop likes to be run on files on the local hard drive(s).  If you are working in an environment where you have networking, rather than opening a file right off the network, then saving it back there, consider copying the file to your local hard drive then working on it there.  This way an unexpected network outage or error won't cause you to lose work.
    Never save over your original files.  You may have a library of original images you have captured with your camera or created.  Sometimes these are in formats that can be re-saved.  If you're going to work on one of those files (e.g., to prepare it for some use, such as printing), and it's a file type that can be overwritten (e.g., JPEG), as soon as you open the file save the document in another location, e.g., in Photoshop .psd format.
    Save your master files in several places.  While you are working in Photoshop, especially if you've done a lot of work on one document, remember to save your work regularly, and you may want to save it in several different places (or copy the file after you have saved it to a backup folder, or save it in a version management system).  Things can go wrong and it's nice to be able to go back to a prior saved version without losing too much work.
    Make Backups.  Back up your computer files, including your Photoshop work, ideally to external media.  Windows now ships with a quite good backup system, and external USB drives with surprisingly high capacity (e.g., Western Digital MyBook) are very inexpensive.  The external drives aren't that fast, but a backup you've set up to run late at night can finish by morning, and if/when you have a failure or loss of data.  And if you're really concerned with backup integrity, you can unplug an external drive and take it to another location.
    This stuff is kind of "motherhood and apple pie" but it's worth getting the word out I think.
    Your ideas?

    Our power outages here are usually only a few seconds; this should give my server about 20 or 25 minutes run-time.
    I'm setting up the PowerChute software now to shut down the computer when 5 minutes of power is left.  The load with the monitor sleeping is 171 watts.

  • 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.

  • IDES for Aerospace & Defense and/or IMC

    I am brand new to SAP and am looking to understand whether or not the industry solutions for A&D and/or IMC exist in an IDES system that we could load to our training landscape.   A google search turned up some help.sap.com page that was created for 4.6 which listed documentation for ordering an engine located at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/fr/d3/6813361f5af635e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm  .  Does this mean that the A&D solution is included as part of the IDES installation?  Apologies in advance for any incorrect verbiage/terminology... I was raised on JD Edwards and am just learning Saponese..
    Thanks,

    KC,
    You did answer your own question here. Yes, you probably have to build out your health and safety solution. You would have to look at the individual technical requirements for each IDES instance to understand what might be possible.

  • Best Export Settings for DVD burning and Computer viewing

    Hello,
    I am trying to export a 1 hour video that I need to be compatible with standard DVD players as well as viewable on any computer.
    Original footage was shot with a Canon 5d Mark ii in 24fps.
    I have done all of my editing in Premiere Pro CS6. From there, I exported a high quality file to bring into Media Encoder (for trials of best output). My master file from Premiere was exported with the Preset MPEG2. The only thing I changed in the preset was VBR from 1 pass to 2 pass.. This gave me a 6.2 GB file.
    I then brought that file into Media Encoder where I have tried the following presets:
    MPEG2-DVD - Match Source Attributes
    MPEG2-DVD - NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
    MPEG2 - HDTV 720p 23.976 High Quality
    MPEG2 - NTSC DV High Quality
    These settings have encountered various issues.. some have significant banding, but most importantly, none of them will play on my DVD player when I burn them to a disc.
    The discs I am using are Sony DVD-RW with a 4.7GB capacity.
    Where am I going wrong here? From what I've read, the format needs to be MPEG2 to be viewed on DVD... Sorry if I sound ignorant! This stuff is tricky..

    First off, don't export your timeline and then take the result to AME to re-encode, this is compressing your video twice and degrading quality (not to mention takes extra time and hard drive space). Always export direct from Premiere to Media Encoder. If you must use an "intermediate" file as part of your workflow, perhaps to archive a completed video that might later be exported to other formats, then use a lossless codec such as UT or Lagarith (free downloads).
    For DVDs, you MUST use "MPEG-2 DVD". Other forms of MPEG-2 are not appropriate, as the official DVD specification requires that the MPEG-2 file has certain attributes. Not recommended to use "Match Source" for ANY export, just choose an appropriate setting as needed.
    This should be correct for your application - MPEG-2 DVD > NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
    If you want to encode a DVD file over 1 hour in length, then you will need to adjust the encoding bitrate so the resulting file will fit the disc. Rule of thumb is 560/minutes = bitrate, but you might round down the result a bit to allow for menu overhead and such, depending.
    Once you export the "MPEG-2 DVD" file, you can NOT simply burn that file to DVD media. That is only creating a DATA disc and it will not be playable in a DVD player (though a computer or PS3/PS4 may work since they can play most media files). To make a DVD that works in all DVD players (and meets the spec), it MUST be "authored" in a program like Adobe Encore. This compiles your content and menus and all that and then writes the result to the disc in certain way so that DVD players can read the disc. If you open any DVD on your computer, you will see a folder called "VIDEO_TS" and inside that there are .vob files and others. That is a proper DVD. And once you have a proper DVD, you can't simply copy the VIDEO_TS to another disc (as DATA), you must tell the burning software to create as a "VIDEO DVD" and not DATA, or it again won't be readable in a DVD player. Very picky spec, sorry.
    When using AME to export MPEG-2 DVD, it will create two files, audio and video (.m2v and .wav), you will then Import both of those into Encore together. Note that you CAN import other formats into Encore, such as .avi but Encore will then transcode that to the correct MPEG-2 format anyway, so best that you take charge and create the right media in the first place in AME before you get to Encore.
    EDIT: In AME, any time that your source is higher resolution than the destination, such as HD to DVD, you can check the "Max Render Quality" button in AME to provide the best downscale quality.
    EDIT 2: I see you're using DVD-RW media. That is fine for experimenting, but for delivery to clients always use good quality DVD-R or DVD+R media. DVD-RW may not have the best compatibility with players and costs more anyways. DVDs are so cheap now that I just proof to DVD-R and toss the bad ones, up to you.
    Thanks

  • Need Ideas for Minimalist Website and Image Gallery

    I am looking for ideas for creating a minimalist online image gallery/portfolio? I want to either use html for the site and then flash for the portfolio images or some other method. I want to click on the thumbnails and then a large image will open.
    Should I use Flash, Dreamweaver, Would it be easier to load the images dynamically to a folder. Does anyone have an example they could show me. Thanks.

    I second Mahendra's suggestion for JAlbum Excellent product!  Just so you know, you don't need to use their image hosting.  Simply download the software and install it on your PC.   The beauty of JAlbum is that it generates thumbnails and HTML pages for you from your folder of images.  Lots of different Skins available. CSS can be customized.  And you can't beat the price. 
    Minimalism is nice but on the web, if you don't have some real text in the HTML markup you're essentially invisible to search engines, language translators and web assisting technologies like screen readers.  I realize this is a portfolio, but you want to maintain some degree of visibility so people can find you.  For this reason, Flash sites don't do well.  HTML is preferred.
    Good luck with your project,

  • Where do I store and download for IPhone Apps and Computer Apps?

    I'm feeling like a dinosaur in not understanding how to download and store apps for my iphone and those that I may DEMO or buy for my computer.
    For instance I have started syncing the iPhone to the MacBookPro so that this is easy when I am traveling. Now the MacBookPro is in the shop and I'd like to d/l an app for the iPhone. Can I do this on the MacPro which I am using now? If so, do I go directly to the Mac App Store do I open some App program on my MacPro? Do I have to d/l this app from my phone or MacBookPro only? I don't get this.
    Also, I called in for Aperture support the other day and didn't have any info on this software that I bought. I guess I downloaded a demo from some Mac Computer App store and then paid for the App after running the Demo? Then this information is stored somewhere different from having downloaded the Software directly without a demo or from another site or from some app on my MacPro?
    Something of a newbie here so any straightening out on how this works now and (perhaps) how it may work differently in IOS 5 or Lion would be really wonderful.
    Thanks.

    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, then the current contetn will be erased and reaplaqced with content from the new computer.
    "If so, do I go directly to the Mac App Store do I open some App program on my MacPro? "
    The Mac app  store has NOTHING at all to do with iphone.  it is for buyong apps for your computer ONLY, NOT iphone.
    You can download apps from the itunes app store on your iphone or on your computer.  Your choice.

  • Ideas for initial recon and provisioning

    Hi,
    We have an existing AD environment that we are going to integrate with OIM. Here is our plan:
    1) Full target recon to create resource for all existing users and bring in current AD attributes.
    2) Add AD to Access Policies for new users and use prepops to fill in many of the data elements.
    We are trying to figure out the easiest ways to:
    1) Update existing AD users with new attributes (our new mapping rules for AD include several new attributes that do not exist today)? Would you use OIM somehow or would you create ldif files to update the existing users?
    2) Update existing AD users with modified attributes (in somecases we are improving the data that exists for each user in AD)? Would you use OIM or would you create ldif files to update existing users?
    We can not wait for all users to get their main OIM form updated to update these values.
    Thanks.

  • Looking for some ideas for setting up and xServe RAID

    Everyone,
    Here is what I would to do. I have a new xServe and 7TB RAID. I would like to set all of my end users up with Portable Home Directories. They all have laptops and I would like to use their PHD as my backup source. I would set them to sync in the background a couple of times per day and then write to tape at night.I have about 60 end users. I would also like to use the same xServe and RAID as my Kerio mail server and mail store. What I am looking for is some ideas of how to go about setting up the RAID. I was orginially thinking of setting up as one big RAID 5 using all 14 drives. What I would like to know is what is the number of drives that would need to fail that would render the RAID unrebuildable? I am now thinking about splitting the RAID into two 7 drives in RAID set up as RAID 1+0.
    I am not sure if I phrased a lot of this currently, but here is quick recap of what I would like to know. What would be the best way to set up a 7TB RAID to store PHD and my Kerio mail store that provides me the most redudant and fastest acccess.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Daniel Krajc

    Daniel,
    I'd suggest a 6 disk RAID 5 plus a hot spare for each side. It will give you about 2.4 TB capacity per side (4.8 total), and it can tolerate 2 drive failures per side without losing data, provided there is sufficient time between failures for the RAID set to automatically rebuild on the hot spare. This window is 8-12 hours.
    Note with Xserve RAID the two sides are totally independent in the data path -- it will look like 2 separate LUNs. If you want to combine these at the host level, as RAID 0 or RAID 1 to look like a single volume, you can. But the Xserve RAID will not combine them itself... the RAID controllers are independent... it might as well be two separate RAID volumes in the same chassis.
    I assume you'll plug this into an Xserve that is serving as an Open Directory server and a file server?

  • What is standard for CD Players AND Computer Play -- AIFF or MP3?

    I have a voiceover demo. I would like to burn CD copies that will play on BOTH a CD player and Mac computer. Or even on a Windows computer if possible. In other words I want to create a STANDARD CD that I can send out to agents so they can play it on whatever equipment they have handy. Like any standard CD with songs on it like you buy in a store.
    My demo is a professionally produced CD with an AIFF file on it. Is AIFF standard? I have tried duplicating this file and it will play on my Mac but not on a CD player.
    I notice that files online are MP3s. Boy am I confused. Help, please, someone who knows how to unconfuse me.

    AIFF files will not play on normal CD players. The AIFF format is unique to computers, and is not the format used on audio CDs (which is a type of PCM). When you import a CD with a Mac, the system imports as AIFF. But that's not what's on the CD.
    What you need to do for greatest compatibility is burn your demo as an audio CD, which will then play in just about any player, standalone or computer (a few older standalone CD players may have problems with any burned CD). Or, if you're doing a bunch of duplicates, get a third-party application such as Toast that can make direct copies of a CD.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a great idea for Mini's and or other Notebook's / Laptops.

    I just bought an Hp Mini 210 and i love it but there are a few things that bother me. 
    When i am using my mini at night or in a car i cannot for the life of me see the letters i am pushing. tho i have the keyboard memorized in my head so i don't need to look at the keys to know that i am entering the right one at night the problems is i cannot see the out line of the keys and  i can never see any of my key's letters numbers or function. 
    My solution is simple and would not draw anymore power from the battery. 
    what i am suggesting is that the keyboard keys on all MINI"S are Glow in the Dark. Like the stars that you buy for your rooms that you put on your ceiling. This would be simple to do. and also improve the night time use of your mini's or other 's. As i look at my keyboard now i see the white letters and numbers on the black buttons. if the white used to make the letters and or numbers and  etc... were mixed with glow in the dark property's then you would have made the use of the  Mini's ten times better. you could even add more. put borders around the keys just a small strip of white glow in the dark to define the keyboard.
    If you implement this please offer me a free keyboard install of the glow. thanks

  • Ideas for improvements in and additional flexibility for the menu widget

    Recently in the Muse help forum, I discussed in great detail some current limitations in the menu widget, along with some detailed suggestions for future features that would both solve these limitations and increase its flexibility. I hope the Muse team will take a moment to read through this discussion and consider these ideas: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073318#6073318

    Hi Chuck,
    I just wanted to assure you that we on the development team have followed your thread. We have a long list of improvements we'd like to make to the menu widget. Most of the items you raised were already on our "to do" list. The one item I specifically added from your thread was the observation that it would be helpful to be able to set the alignment for the entire menu bar in order to control the direction the menubar grows/shrinks as top level pages are added/removed in Plan view. (The need for additional alignment/positioning controls for individual menu items and submenus was on the list.)

  • Burning DVD for DVD Player and Computer

    Hi everybody.
    I thought that I saw this somewhere here, but after looking for it for the past 1 1/2 hours (Unsuccessfully I might add , I thought that I would just ask.
    When I burn a project to a DVD using Quicktime and iDVD, I can view it on a DVD player and on my Apple computers, but not on a windows based machine. Can I burn a DVD that will play on any computer? How?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Brian

    Could well be a +R issue. The player must be able to read +R.
    -R is the most universal and should play on just about any DVD machine.
    I noticed that the older the machine the more things things can go wrong for no apparent reason. Later model stuff play just about anything even +R, dual layer, RAM etc. Always check the player specs if you have them.
