IMessage does bad things to your copied SQL

I work in a Mac shop (since the start of the year) and we chatter via iMessage. A co-worker recently pasted me some SQL and asked about it. Naturally I wanted to run it. Every line of the SQL had an error associated with it. Here is an example from part of the WHERE clause.
Error starting at line : 22 in command -
ATTRIBUTE_TYPE = 'ENTITY_LEGAL_NAME'
Error report -
Unknown Command
We tracked it down to the leading spaces that iMessage had replaced with some non-printing character. An interim paste and re-copy from TextWrangler and TextEdit preserved the strange characters - they had to be manually removed. Internal spaces like those around the = were not affected. An additional OSX platofrm issue is using the iMail app. It replaces the straight quotes with pretty printing quotes which also do not work in sqldeveloper.
Pasting the SQL into a vi session and then using od -x on the file revealed that a normal space is represented with a hex "20" (so two spaces are "2020") and the iMessages adjacent spaces are replaced with "a0c2".
This is not a bug in sqldeveloper for Oracle to fix, but as a developer on a Mac platform (OSX Yosemite) it is a situation of which to be aware. It is a reminder that sqldeveloper does not live in isolation and is part of the programmers ecosystem. Having just switched from a Microsoft world to the Apple world I am much more aware of the subtle differences and thought other programmers might find this information to be useful and it may save them a few minutes here and there.

This is not a sqldeveloper issue, but as a developer on a Mac platform (OSX Yosemite) it is a situation of which to be aware.
Correct - so you should NOT have posted it in this, or any other, forum.
There is NO VALUE at all to any of what you posted. It doesn't explain any sql developer (or other) issue or contain any content useful in preventing any sql developer (or other) issue.
I know it is April 1st but surely you can find SOMETHING better to do with your time.

When using imessage, does it count against your minutes in your plan for texting or is it totally free?

when using imessage, dos it count against your minutes in your plan or is it totally free?

iMessage does not use call minutes or SMS message quota in your plan. It does use data when when the phone is connected to cellular data. When you use WiFi, it's completely free.

IMessage doing odd things now that I am using MacBookPro too.

I just purchased a new MacBookPro (Feb 2015) and I use an iPhone 5S. I use iMessage 100%. When my MacBook was finished with the updates I saw that I can now iMessage without looking at my phone when I am working.. Great thing in my world...so I started using it immediately. Now I am getting some odd behaviors that I need to correct.
Within my close circle of friends/family that I message with constantly (all iPhones) I see the messages on the MacBook correctly, but any group message shows as a new "unknown" group message on my phone. If I try to reply within that "unknown" group I cannot. the button is grayed out. I must go down to the original group and reply there. The original group does not show the rest of the conversation.... only this new "unknown" group.
iMessage has always worked without issue for me. This started the moment that I started using iMessage on my MacBook.
I know I could just disable it on my MacBook...but I love the idea of the feature and would rather make it work correctly.
iPhone is updated as of 2/11/15
MacBookPro updated at same time.
Contacts are synced

Hi Gr8Flood,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're using iMessages on your iPhone and MacBook Pro, but group messages on your iPhone are not working as expected.
Since the unexpected behavior happens on your iPhone, I recommend starting with these steps from the troubleshooting article below:
Restart your device and check for updates
Restart your device.
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Turn iMessage off and back on
Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off, then back on.
Sign out and back in to iMessage and FaceTime
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
On your iPhone first, sign back in to iMessage and Facetime.
Sign back in to iMessage and Facetime on your other devices.
Reset your network settings
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
From:
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

Restrict user account, prevent intruder from doing bad things

Hello,
I am currently planning and setting up a backup-server with ZFS. There will be daily snapshots of the filesystem (cron job).
Different machines connect automatically without a password via ssh (public/private key) and rsync their stuff to the backup server.
Each machine will connect to it's specific user (and therefore to it's own home directory) on the backup server. I thought that if one of the machines gets compromised (e.g. someone gets access to the private key) he only could access one home folder, nothing more. As there are daily snapshots, even it he deletes all files, they will still be there.
Is just adding a normal user per machine enough or should / can be done more to enhance security? As I said the user account is only for logging in and rsyncing stuff to the home directory.
E.g. disabling executing of applications except of rsync? Preventing fork bombs? Making it harder to run exploits? Other stuff I didn't think about?
Thanks

You might also want to limit those user accounts themselves. If you only use them vor rsyncing, remove them from all unnecessary user groups (the "users" group in particular) and take away their shells.
On top of that, you may want to give each user a chroot jail, so they can't even write to /tmp for example.
I'm not too familliar with rsync yet. If you really need to make your other machines log in and execute rsync themselves over SSH, you might want to take a look at limited shells like lshell to only allow execution of that program.
Great, thank you! This was something I was looking for!
But if I take away the shell completely (e.g. chsh -s /sbin/nologin username), I think I won't be able to rsync via ssh right?
lshell sounds very promissing for my case, I will have a look at it!
edit: I found out that there is also a "--restricted" option for "bash", where one can disable PATH variables, changing directories. I will have a look.

SPEEDING UP YOUR PL/SQL DEVELOPMENT

제품 : SQL*PLUS
작성날짜 : 1997-01-09
=================================
Speeding up your PL/SQL development
=================================
By Jeff Warner
If you're doing Oracle database or application development, then you're probably using PL/SQL. Every PL/SQL programmer is familiar with
using SQL*Plus to develop PL/SQL programs. Developer/2000 offers a better way: Procedure Builder. In this article we'll explore how
Procedure Builder can improve your PL/SQL development.
It has a GUI
==========
The first feature you'll notice in Procedure Builder is the graphical user interface (GUI). Procedure Builder provides separate windows for the
Object Navigator, the PL/SQL interpreter, and the program unit editor. By the way, if you think the program unit editor looks familiar, you're
probably right. Oracle uses it inside the other tools in Developer/2000 (Forms, Reports, and Graphics). Using the Object Navigator, you can
view the relationship between your code and the library and packages. Object Navigator also provides the references and referenced-by
information, as well as giving you the ability to examine the procedures and functions that make up packages and libraries. This makes it very
easy to take advantage of existing code.
The PL/SQL interpreter is just what you'd expect. You can use normal SQL and PL/SQL commands and see the results in the output
window. You create your PL/SQL in the program unit editor window. As with any text editor, you can cut, copy, and paste as well as search
and replace text. You can also use the editor to import and export source files. However, the editor's best feature is the Compile button. Click
the Compile button, and Procedure Builder will compile your code and display any errors in the bottom of the window. Click on the error,
and your cursor will move to the offending line. This will radically improve the compile-debug-run sequence. Speaking of debugging,
Procedure Builder has something that will really make life easier for you.
A PL/SQL debugger
================
Yes, Procedure Builder includes a real debugger for PL/SQL. Its features include breakpoints, triggers, variable inspection, variable
modification, step into, step over, and step out.
Having a graphical and easy-to-use debugger can dramatically improve code development. For example, to set a breakpoint in your code,
simply bring the PL/SQL interpreter window to the front and double-click on the line where a breakpoint is needed.
Once you've set a breakpoint and executed the code, the debugger will stop the program at the breakpoint. From here, you can use Object
Navigator to view and change the variables in the program. To resume execution, you can use Procedure Builder to step into, step over, or
step out of a routine. Procedure Builder also provides an option to simply continue execution.
A powerful feature of Procedure Builder's breakpoints is the capability of adding trigger code. Trigger code is a piece of PL/SQL that
executes when the breakpoint is hit. You can use this feature to log the value of a variable to the screen or a file.
If you need a conditional breakpoint, you can use a trigger. For example, let's say you want to stop execution only if the local variable i is
greater than zero. First, select the line where you want the check to occur and create a trigger by clicking the right mouse button on the line
and selecting Trigger. This will open the PL/SQL Trigger window. In the Trigger Body area, enter the following command to halt execution:
if debug.geti('i') > 0 then
raise debug.break;
end if;
Now the program will stop execution only when this condition is valid. You can also use the Trigger Body of a trigger to log information to a
file or a screen.
Debugging server-side programs
===========================
The version of Procedure Builder shipped with version 1.2 of Developer/2000 is V1.5.5.7.0. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to directly
debug programs on the server (this is planned for a future version). However, with the click-and-drag partition feature of Developer/2000,
you can use Object Navigator to drag the program unit from the server to the local program unit and debug it there.
Lots of help
=========
Procedure Builder includes extensive help under Windows. In addition to the normal help available on program features, Procedure Builder
provides help on the built-in packages as well as the PL/SQL commands to maintain libraries, program units, and packages. Also, version 1.2
or later of Developer/2000 provides the Cue Cards and Quick Tour.
Conclusion
=========
As you can see, Procedure Builder is a very powerful tool for development. The debugger is first-rate and the extensive help is a great
addition. One other nice feature of Procedure Builder is that Oracle will license it separately from Developer/2000 if you have users who don't indeed the other parts of Developer/2000. If you're doing PL/SQL programming, you should take advantage of what Procedure Builder has to
offer.

micwic --
I logged bug6508875 for this.
One suggestion in the meantime until we can get compile errors directed to the log window for offline objects...
You can open the Database Navigator to point to the same db connection. After generating the offline PL/SQL to the db, refresh the connection in the DB navigator. You will see any invalid objects flagged with an error icon. Then you can right-click on the PL/SQL with the error, and "Make" it. This will display the errors in the log window, similar to SQL Developer.

Danger of Bad Things

I wonder if Edge Animate or Possibly Flash could help me to accomplish the following task which was put to me by a colleague at the University I work at. The following text is taken from his email to me...
I’m trying to create a little web based gizmo to illustrate epidemiology and public health concepts for undergrads and wondering if you can help.
The idea is to compare the effects of two different approaches to health risk. One approach is to try to reduce exposure to Bad Thing #1 which is known to kill 50% of all people who continue to be exposed to it over their lifetime. The other is to try to get those exposed to Bad Thing #1 to switch to Bad Thing #2 (mortality known to be lower, but not clear how much lower). The twist is that the health community is worried that people not already exposed to Bad Thing #1, will expose themselves to Bad Thing #2 if it becomes available (thus raising overall health risk).
So here’s what I want to do…
Step one: illustrate the danger of Bad Thing #1 based on the proportion of the population exposed and the mortality risk. This part should be easy.
I want students to input two numbers:
What is the size of the adult population of your country/region (age 12 and over)? ___ [user input here]
What is the proportion of that population currently exposed to Bad Thing #1? ___ [user input here]
The result of the calculation would produce a circle that represents the expected mortality from exposure to Bad Thing #1. The size of the circle could be fixed (that is, it doesn't need to be based on the user input – it just needs to be a circle that can be changed in size based on subsequent user input).
OK, so now the student is staring at a circle. It would be nice if the circle contained the number of expected deaths, but that’s not essential, it just represents the number of expected deaths (population * exposure * .5).
Now, I want the students to answer three questions.
First, I want them to estimate how much less risky/safer Bad Thing #2 is than Bad Thing #1. If we assume #2 can’t be any more harmful than #1, this scale should range from 0% safer to 100% safer (perhaps in 5% increments if it can’t be more exact).
Second, I want them to estimate what percentage of people currently exposed to Bad Thing #1 could be convinced to switch to exposing themselves to Bad Thing #2 instead (i.e., stop exposure to #1 entirely, but fully expose themselves to #2). Based on this estimate, I want to show how much smaller the circle would be (number of expected deaths) if said percentage of #1 people switched to #2. When they enter this number (or push a slider), I want them to see the circle shrink (or a comparison circle shrink – I dunno).
Finally, I want them to estimate what percentage of the population who are not currently exposed to Bad Thing #1, might somehow find themselves exposed to Bad Thing #2. But this needs to be based on the proportion of the remaining adult population from the initial calculation at step 2 above (i.e., those not exposed to Bad Thing #1).
Now I want the circle to grow as they increase their estimate, but of course it has to be constrained by the size of the previously unexposed population and the risk of Bad Thing #2.
At the moment, I’m flummoxed about how to pull this off visually for the students.
For example, let’s imagine we have Drug A and 20% of the adult population is using it with a 50% mortality rate. If the student inputs “30,000,000” for the population and 20% for Drug A use, we get a circle representing 6,000,000 users of Drug A. If we know that Drug A has a 50% mortality rate, we get a circle representing 3,000,000 dead people.
If students then says that Drug B is 50% safer than Drug A, then we know that we can expect 30,000,000 * .2 * .5 *.5 = 1,500,000 deaths.
Showing a circle that shrinks from 3,000,000 to 1,500,000 is nice. Having a slider that illustrates how death rates change as risk increases/decreases is nice. Maybe I could figure out how to do that, but I’m old and the dementia is creeping…
But the hard part is figuring out how to include death rates if Drug B starts being used by people who don’t already take Drug A.
If 80% of non-Drug A using people start taking Drug B which we think is 50% safer (.25 mortality rate), then how many additional deaths should we expect?
At some combination of Drug A users switching to Drug B, and Drug B being __% safer to use and non-Drug A users taking up Drug B, we might end up with the same number of deaths. That’s the point I’m trying to illustrate.
Does that make sense? Is it possible to implement using a web interface – especially one that includes sliding scales and growing / shrinking circles?

I have use raphael.js to show graphs.
I have also used simple math to calculate the growth of a bar too.
I suppose if you can figure out the math, then you can create symbol that will show this math.

Is it bad to charge your iPad when there is like 30% left ?

Is it bad to charge your iPad when there is like 30% left ?

Question: What is a "charge cycle"?
Answer: Lithium-ion batteries can be charged a finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle. A charge cycle means using all of the battery's power, but that doesn't necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could use to your iPad for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put your iPad's battery through many charge cycles before it will only hold 80 percent of its original battery capacity.
Don't worry about it, since the battery will take 1000s of charge cycles.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Why does formatting get lost when copy and pasting slides between projects?

I'm beginning to copy and paste several slides from a project that was created in Captivate 6. I've opened the project in 7.0.1 and saved it. Next, I've copy and pasted about 20-30 slides from the old project into my new template. In the process, many slides have lost "bold" and "bullets". It's worth noting that many slides have remained correct. I also find myself having to reset slide templates and toggle off quiz buttons that I've already toggled off in old project.
This isn't part of the same problem, but related. When I copy slides from the new template I mentioned into the old one (in hopes that Advanced Actions would transfer correctly), I've noticed that none of the item names have transferred over with the copy and paste. Instead of seeing the button name I've created, it changes to "shape, text_caption, etc", the default.
I'm hoping the copy pasting between projects becomes more efficient, I'm finding myself burning unneccessary time doing more QA and microscopic investigation, although I suppose more QA isn't always a bad thing.
System is the following:
OSX 10.8.5
Captivate 7.0.1
Safari 6.0.5
Blood Type: oops, wrong forum.

When copy/pasting between different versions that has always been a problem, especially with question slides. There seem always to be changes that make such a transfer difficult. Did you try to open the CP6 project first in CP7 and see what worked? And do you use exactly the same theme (object styles, master slides, skin editor)?
Copy/paste slides, objects with advanced actions: bit same problem, works best if done between CP7 projects. The problem that each object needs to have a unique ID (name) is what causes the renaming to generic names.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.
I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error:
4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233
Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

SocialListNotFound : The Social list does not exist in your personal site.

In SharePoint 2013; when a person try to follow a document which is located the SkyDrive Pro of another person it pop up erros message shows as below.
Something went wrong
Sorry, we couldn't follow the document.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
SocialListNotFound : The Social list does not exist in your personal site.
Can anyone help on this...

Hello all,
I have the exact same issue.
When a user tries to follow some document or site, the same error occurs. When I look at the personal site of the user, the "Social" list is missing.
When I have another user do the same thing, it works! The Social list for that user is there.
The difference between the 2 users:
The user where the issue occurs => mysite has been upgraded from SharePoint 2010
The user where the issue doesn't occur => mysite has been created after the upgrade to SharePoint 2013.
So, I tried to delete the mysite of the user who had the issue and let him recreate it by visiting the MySite host and now it works!
The thing is... I have 100 users having the same issue and a lot of them are actually using their mysite, so deleting those mysites is not really an option.
I have 2 questions:
1. why is that "Social" list not created when mysites are upgraded from SharePoint 2010?
2. Can I trigger some process which fixes this for existing sites?
Thanks,
Bart

Does anyone know how to copy my files from my ipod to a different computer? I tried to do it, but all that it did was erase my files. What i want to to is use my ipod to transfer my files to another computer (which has itunes as well) PLEASE help!

You will need to enable your iPod for disk use. Then, you should see your iPod in "My Computer" and you can open up your iPod's folder there and drag the files into it. You can store the files on the iPod, then connect it to the other computer and drag-and-drop them from the iPod into the designated directory in that computer. Make sure individual files are not larger than 4 GB.

Copying SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel with formatting

I need to copy a SQL Script into Excel in order to develop some VBA code. Is there any nice way that I can copy SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel and retain its formatting? I am a stickler for having legible, readable SQL and like to have all my columns lined up and aliases lined up. When we used to use SQL Navigator, the tab formatting seemed to copy and paste just fine. Now that we have migrated to Oracle SQL Developer, the formatting seems to get all messed up.
And suggestions are greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for an answer.
Thanks.
PSULionRP

I suppose you want a real tabulator instead of spaces. You can configure this in the preferences (SQL Formatter - Oracle). You have to apply it then to your existing code (e.g. CTRL-F7), but new code should get it right from the start.
Hope that helps,
K.
