Informal Poll - What is your fav distro and why.

I am curious as to what version of Linux is prefered and why. I have been using OpenSUSE for my desktops and Ubuntu for servers for the last few years and would be interested to see what others favor and why...
I have six computers all running Linux:
Workshop Bench (forensic tools, disk drive tools and software recovery tools) - OpenSUSE (KDE) 13.2 tumbleweed. Intel Core2Quad 8800
Home Server (Cloud service, Print Server, Backup Server, Media Server) - OpenSUSE (KDE) 13.2 tumbleweed. Intel i3 2350
Web Server (Public Webserver, Cloud and Scheduling) - Ubnutu (hardened) 14.01 LTS AMD A6
Three loaner computers, all AMD A6 based machines - Linux Mint 17.1
So far the least troublesome have been Ubuntu / Mint computers. OpenSUSE seems to be the best KDE platform but I may need to switch to the stable release tree when the next iteration is released. Linux Mint is the most user freindly of the Debian crowd, with good feedback on all counts. The Ubuntu desktop was not well recieved, most thought it was just too "ugly" to be useable.
I am dual booting my G580 between Windows 8.1 (factory OS) and Mint at the moment. As a point of interest - my gaming computer and my better half's computer both run Windows 7 at the moment. Will not be moving to Windows 10, mostlikely to Mint.

I've been using Manjaro XFCE on my X61t for a while (and briefly on the W520). A bit heavier, but seems to get the job done.
That has an interesting look / feel to it. I am just looking into running Mint on an older notebook to see if it would be a good alternative OS for my clients that do not want to migrate to Windows 8/8.1/10 and the metro desktop.

What is your favorite transaction and why?

Just wondering what your secret tools are... Willing to share? Transactions you use all the time, and without them you would be, uh, toast...
My favorite one is SE84 Repository Information System. I use it regularly to find objects in repository, like database tables, views, table fields, function groups, function modules, programs, logical databases, message classes, message number, SET/GET parameters, transactions, variants, screens, business add-ins, customer exits, change requests and authorizations.
A useful hint: You can also search by application hierarcy. For example, in 4.6c to find customer exits within MM, do as follows:
1. Start SE81
2. Select subtree MM with F9
3. Click Information system. SE84 is displayed.
4. Click Envir. and then Exit techniques and then Customer exits. Click enhancements. A search screen is displayed and development class field is pre-filled.
5. Press F8

clearly SE80.
Starting 4.7 you have a button on top of the tree navigation where you can click the information system.
So you have (at least) three transactions in one: SE80, se84(85 and SE38.
I wonder why still some people prefer SE38. It's just SE80 minus functionality and overview plus wasted screen space.
Is there any existing function you can execute from SE38 that is not available in SE38? A lot the other way round.

HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

The last Apple I used was a IIe. Where can I find basic information about what an Ipad will do and how it differs from an Android tablet?

What is better to use and why?

Hi,
What is better to use and why?
We have written follwing statements to check the existence of interested record in table.
1).
select count(*) from emp where deptno = 20;
2).
select 'X'
from dual
where exists (
select 'X' from emp
where deptno = 20);
Thanks and Regards,
Rushang Kansara

Assuming a large table, number two would be the fastest. If empno in unique, you can leave out the where exists part and just select x from emp where empno = 20. If empno is not unique, then using where exists can be faster. Assuming that empno is not unique, query 1 may elect to scan the whole table looking for that empno. Number 2 can use the index and return your result in, typically, three LIOs.
Again, it all depends on your indexing, size of tables, and uniqueness of key upon which you are searching.

Your Favorite UI and Why

Title pretty mcuh says it all. What's your favorite UI on your Android device and why?
Personally I like stock Andtroid. Can't stand any other UI other than Sense.

ADW Launcher.
Speed. Stability. Options.
- 5 rows and/or columns on the home screen instead of 4
- up to 7 screens**
- resizable widgets (make a 2x2 fit into a 1x1 - way cool)
- customizable 6-icon Dockbar
- customizable up & down swipe gestures
- Sense previews, or not (also cool)
- scrollable widget support
- theme support
- custom desktop indicators
- live wallpaper support
- these are just a few of my favorites since they are just too many options to list them all...
But mainly... Speed. Stability. Options.
I haven't seen an ADW induced FC in weeks.
ADW dev got it right... and he isn't trying to impress with excess, just reliable functionality, yet his creation just blows me away.
I used to use LauncherPro till the updates (and ensuing problems) got out of hand, like the recent barrage of Beautiful Widgets updates. Too much too fast. BW went from awesome to garbage in about the last three weeks (IMO).
I might go back to LP & BW at some point but I'm waiting till some recent issues are sorted out...
** I read a thread earlier on the Market where some guy was screaming for a NINE screen option.
Man... if you can't make do with 5 you're doing it wrong... I'm still on 3, using Smart Shortcuts or Apps Organizer...

How to erase and reset your Galaxy S6 (and why you'd want to)

Samsung has included some additional features to this function just in case you're doing something other than handing your Galaxy S6 off to another user.
How to erase and reset your Galaxy S6 (and why you'd want to) | Android Central

Hi,
I'm in the same boat. I have an older 13" black MacBook and bought a new 13" MacBook Pro. Your outline isnt' what I experience, yet it's similar to the Apple Article at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1820
They have the following steps:
These steps assume you have a Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later CD:
1. Insert the Mac OS X CD.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the "C" key to start up from CD.
4. When the Installer screen appears, do not click Continue. Instead, choose Installer > Open Disk Utilities.
5. Select the hard drive to erase.
6. Click the Erase tab.
7. Select the volume format from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
8. Click Options.
9. Select the checkbox for "Zero all data".
10. Click OK.
11. Click Erase
I'm not sure if I'm obtaining what I want; Zero erase then reinstall. I'm using my OS X Leopard Install Disk. I did steps 1 - 3. As I held the "C" key, I got a gray screen with the Apple logo and a spinning icon below. It did this for about 3 minutes (my "c" holding finger was getting sore )
I never got a step 4. It went straight to "Choose a Language" I did: English
I never got choices 5 to 11.
I got the screen showing the drive and asking if I want to install. I continued.
I then opened the "Options" tab. There I could erase existing OS install and then reinstall. There was never a choice for "Zero All Data."
I'm currently letting it do it's thing and it's in stalling, about 26 mins to go, already been about 20 mins.
Did I miss something, or is the "zero" option not the same for Leopard?
Much thanks,

Whats the maximum length array and why?

Whats the maximum length array and why?
I tryed to search the forum but most people was wondering about the maximun length of a String..

for(int i =20;i<=32;i++) {
     try {
          int[] p = new int[(int)Math.pow(2,i)];
          pause(2000); // So that gc doesn't clean away the array before
                          // The OS memory manager gets to update.
          System.out.println("Paused! i: " + i);
     } catch(OutOfMemoryError e) {
          System.out.println("Ex!!");
          pause(10000); // Same sa before.
void pause(int p) {
     try {
          Thread.sleep(p);
     } catch (Exception e) {}

WHAT is "Hibernate this Group" and why can't I find ANY information on this and HOW to get accidentally hibernated groups BACK???

This is REALLY getting me frustrated! What is "Hibernate this Group"? Why can't I find any information on it? Why can't I get groups back that have been accidentally "hibernated"? There is a "moon" symbol on my upper right screen that says "Hibernate this Group" and I don't know what it does or how it works! AND I accidentally "hibernated" a group when I clicked on it too long and a bunch of "zzz's" showed up and then it was GONE! How do I get it all back? And why isn't there a tech center I can contact to help with this???

This sounds like some third-party app or extension, because this functionality is not in Firefox by default. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] should remove it

Black or White? What was/is your choice? and why?

I had my heart set on the black 16gb model this morning when I arrived at my AT&T store around 6:00am. I was lucky number 13 in line and waited patiently as the employees arrived. Then around 7:15 am the manager came out and said tell me which model you want, and i will tell you if we have it or if you will have to order it. He came through the line and got to the man in front of me and asked the question.
The man said 16gb black. The manager says, sorry we will have to order that for you. You could see the disappointment in this older man's eyes, but he accepted that as a real sport and said, Okay...
Then it was my turn, and I knew the info I dreaded and said, give me a 8gb black... not thinking of the storage i really needed. He gave me my packet, and continued through the line and got three people away from me and it hit me what I just got myself into. I politely asked him, can I please change my order to the 16 gb white? and He allowed this, and that is what I purchased!
I have been told all week dont get that white version that looks like a girl phone, but as I left the store, I realized that I wanted the white all along....it is beautiful! I love my new White 16 GB iPhone 3G!!!!! and by the way, fingerprints barely show on the white!
LOL, but anyways,
what is your story?

I was #23 in line at my closest Apple Store. I too, had my sights set on the Black 16GB. When I was led into the store, I asked to see a white demo unit (just to make sure). I looked at both colors for about a minute or so. One of the employees nearby was biased towards the White one. I finally said, "I'll take the Black." The one helping me said, "Very cool," and went in back to get one. When he came out he stopped in his tracks with a white box and said, "Oh right. Black." and spun around. I stopped him and said, "Wait. Let's go for the White."
I'm really happy with my last second choice. The fingerprint thing is indeed, "Very cool."
Oh, and they had all sizes and colors when I was there.

How to find out who your administrator is and why I can't view certain things even on this web sight business account is what I have

How do I find out who my administrator is and why I can't view certain things and get error 401 says i am an unauthorized user
It is a small business which doesn't make sense why I shouldn't be able to access certain pages on the Internet
I believe my husband is the administrator actually
Plus 404 and 403

If you are referencing a specific web site, there is no way to determine who is set up as administrator. Contact the web site directly.
