Ios issues and other questions

Hello!
First of all i would like to thank resdesign, zaxist and all of the dev team for helping here.
Second, i'm not good at coding and most likely i have used all of the bad practices possible here so continue at your own risk
Anyway, here is the page i've made in edge:
http://www.nocomprendo.ru
this will change soon, so if you want to see the version at the time of this post - please go here:
original (unstable on ios6/ios7): http://nocomprendo.ru/test1/america_test.html
no maps (unstable on ios6): http://nocomprendo.ru/test2/america_test.html
no maps and svg-s (stable): http://nocomprendo.ru/test3/america_test.html
you can download source file here: http://nocomprendo.ru/test1.zip
Most of the code is in stage's "composition ready".
It uses a instafeedjs to embed instagram (which is working stable and is easy to implement) http://instafeedjs.com/
It uses fbwall to embed facebook (which is laggy, outdated and i would not recommend it) http://www.neosmart.de/social-media/facebook-wall/
It uses external fonts which can be generated here http://www.font2web.com/
and the loaded to adobe edge. tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76Exc8NcqM \
(be sure to remove an .svg file!!!)
Not always legal, though if you need cyrillics (which is a pain as adobe webfonts have only three or four cyrillic fonts) it is a solution.
I would most likely embed wordpress to load some more external content anytime soon as i did it on another project, though i dont know how to do it from inside of edge and i would have to edit the files manually. (i would appreciate any links to tutorials)
Concerning the stability of the edge websites:
embedding of google maps (both old and new API) causes ios iphone/ipad safari and chrome to crash (ios6, ios7).
perhaps the nature of it is in huge iframes i am using. any ideas?
use of any svg files also causes ios iphone/ipad safari and chrome to crash (more likely in ios6 less likely in ios7).
this was mentioned several times on the board and seems like it is not solved yet.
I have questions on making advanced preloaders with percentage bar. (i have seen zaxist's thread) but is there any walkthrough on embedding any javascript preloader like these:
http://codecanyon.net/item/percentage-preloader/5523389?WT.ac=solid_search_item&WT.seg_1=s olid_search_item&WT.z_author=CodingJack
Also, current preloader option available in edge replaces the white screen before loading composition, but everything that happens in composition ready is seen by website visitor and looks odd. Shall i use creationcomplete or anything else instead?
p.s. yeah, its me going down the south america on a motorcycle, so if youre interested you may follow me in facebook or instagram

still relevant..

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
     where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.

Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

Crossover Settings Confusion and Other Questions

Equipment is as follows:
- LG 55-inch 55LH90 LED TV
- Denon AVR-590 A/V Receiver
- Klipsch HD 500 5.1 Speakers
- DirecTV High Def Satellite Receiver/DVR
Long story very short is that I hit a button on the receiver remote about two weeks ago, unknowingly changing the existing audio settings to something along the lines of Matrix or Direct or Stereo. I'm not one to fool with trying to customize settings on equip. like this... I usually just use the very basic functionality in controlling the equipment, as that's why I paid money 1.5 years ago to have everything professionally installed and calibrated.
Upon accidentally hitting that remote control button, my audio went to pot, was very muffled, volume was minimal, sound was hissy, etc. Sounded like I was listening to $15 speakers.
Had no idea what had happened, didn't want to fool with trying to figure it out myself, contacted the receiver manufacturer to explain what had happened, they recommended immediately that I reset the receiver and thought the processor had locked up. Did the reset and that of course unfortunately scrapped all of my custom calibration settings that the installers had configured a year and a half ago. Sound still not improved. Recommended that I send the receiver in for repair. I held off for a few days on doing that and finally found the likely cause / solution on a message board, clicked the same button on the remote that I'd likely clicked by accident a few weeks earlier, and the sound was back to a more normal level.
However, now I'm left without all of those custom calibrations via the Audyssey stuff that was erased, and I'm lost as can be as to how to get our system sounding like it did prior to all of this happening approx. 2 weeks ago.
I'm lost on the crossover frequency settings and what they should be, what the dials on the rear of the subwoofer should be set at, what the crossover settings for the front / center / rear surround speakers should be, etc.
I ran the Audyssey configuration using the supplied microphone that came with the receiver, but the resulting sound just still doesn't sound at all like it did originally after the installers did all of the setup / configuration back in Aug. 2009.
Audyssey sets the crossover levels of my front L/R speakers to 120 HZ. Audyssey sets the crossover level of my center channel to 110 Hz. Audyssey sets the crossover levels of my rear L/R surround speakers to 120 Hz. In what I seem to remember is the "bass management" area of the receiver settings, the crossover for the subwoofer is set at 80 Hz. I believe another setting for the subwoofer is LFE+Main, too.
With the above in mind, I have no idea at all (1) if the crossover values are appropriate for the various speakers and the subwoofer in the mix to distribute high/mid/low sounds appropriately between the speakers and the sub, (2) I have no idea what the "Level" knob on the rear of the subwoofer should be set to (values range from Min to Max), (3) I have no idea what the LowPass (Hz) knob on the rear of the subwoofer (ranges from 80 to 100) should be set to, and am just very confused / frustrated that with the accidental click of a button on the receiver remote 2 wks. ago and then Denon's tech support recommending the most drastic solution to this issue in resetting the receiver's processor and erasing all of the custom Audyssey settings. I'm left with very sub-par sound as a result of all of this and can't seem to get the re-run Audyssey calibration routine to get my system back to sounding as phenomenal / balanced as it did for nearly 1.5 years straight after the initial setup / calibration of everything back in Aug. 2009 by the Best Buy professional installers.
Any explanations of what the crossover settings for all of my speakers and subwoofer, knob settings on the rear of the subwoofer should be (in general, mind you, as I know all situations / environments / listening preferences are different), or any other helpful recommendations are GREATLY appreciated. I'm very frustrated that Denon's tech support didn't first have me see if I had accidentally adjusted the sound properties via the remote via an accidental button click as opposed to taking my receiver back to square one. I'm not a technical master of this stuff and have no idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to get everything back to sounding like the great system it used to sound like.
Thanks in advance for any clearly-explained suggestions / recommendations on all of this. My last resort is to contact Best Buy and pay them to come back out to re-calibrate everything themselves if I can't figure out where my calibration settings / adjustments are wrong.

As I said in my first post in your other thread "you changed a setting the receiver and speakers are fine" <- not word for word but close to what I said LOL. I knew from what you described thats what it had to be. I do have a concern about the phase issues and the distance readings but that could be placement of mic or if your speakers are facing straight out instead of being slightly faced inward. May I ask where did you place the mic and was it on a tripod? I suggest either borrowing or buying a camcorder tripod for this. I answered your questions below in blue.
Also before ever doing a reset on any piece of equipment check the internet for some ideas as it could save you a lot of headaches.

Okay... stayed up late last night running through the Audyssey calibration routine. Took several tries at the calibration routine, as it kept on coming back saying I had phase issues with various speakers (it bounced around between telling me the phase issues were with the Front Left, the Front Right, and the Center Channel). I just kept on re-running Audyssey until it finally ceased telling me some of the speakers had phasing issues.
Before I continue, I can't thank you enough again for reading through my posts and offering your suggestions... really do appreciate the assistance!
While I'm thinking about it, I determined why the sound qualities / volume / etc. got so poor all of a sudden about 2-3 weeks ago. I apparently accidentally hit one of the buttons on the receiver remote that changed the sound setup from whatever it had been set on forever to something like "Virtual" or "Direct" or "Stereo" or something like that, as opposed to Dolby Digital or whatever it had been set on forever. I unfortunately went through the recommended Microprocessor Reset procedure on the receiver per their tech support's recommendation & that's why I lost all of the original Audyssey calibrated settings from August 2009, when all along, I could've just resolved the audio issues if I'd known that I'd accidentally clicked a button on the receiver remote, and had known I just needed to re-click another button to get the audio back to what it was normally set on. Here are the results that were set by the Denon AVR-590 via the Audyssey calibration. Note: Before beginning the Audyssey calibration process, I had the volume level knob on the rear of the sub itself turned halfway to the 12 o'clock position, and the LowPass knob on the rear of the sub turned all the way to the right (I believe 160 was the value). I ultimately turned the volume knob on the rear of the sub to about the 10 o'clock position as I re-ran the Audyysey calibration multiple times, as the dB values being shown for the sub were coming back at - 12.0 db or close to that with the sub volume set at the 12 o'clock position. The sub dB value got closer to the desired 0 dB value (as shown below) with the sub volume knob set to the 10 o'clock position.
* Speaker Configuration Check    *
- Front Speaker                 Small
- Center Speaker              Small
- Subwoofer                       Yes
- Surround Speaker         Small
- S. Back (Preout)             None
* Distance Check                 *
- Front Left                         0.1 ft                     (this should seemingly be more like 15.0 ft) is the speaker facing slightly in
- Front Right                       1.3 ft                     (this should seemingly be more like 15.0 ft) "  it should be                             "
- Center                               14.7 ft                   (this seems accurate)
- Subwoofer                       16.3 ft                   (this seems accurate)
- Surround Left                 8.0 ft                     (this seems accurate)
- Surround Right               8.7 ft                     (this seems accurate)
* Channel Level Check            *
- Front Left                         + 12.0 dB Lower this to about 2 or 3 db below the center channel
- Center                               + 2.5 dB
- Front Right                       + 12.0 dB Lower this to about 2 or 3 db below the center channel
- Surround Right               + 2.0 dB
- Surround Left                 + 2.5 dB
- Subwoofer                       - 2.0 dB
* Crossover Frequency Check      *
- Front                                  60 Hz                    (seems low... not sure...) Set to 80 hz
- Center                               120 Hz                   (seems reasonable... not sure...)you can leave it or set it to 80 hz
- Surround                          150 Hz                   (seems high... not sure...) again leave it or set it to 120 or 80 hz
- S. Back                               None
Okay, I've made the following minor adjustments thus far post-Audyssey calibration, as noted below:
- SW Mode:                        LFE+Main set to LFE only
- LPF for LFE:                      120 Hz
- Sub Volume Knob         Left sitting around the 10-11 o'clock position on rear of sub
- LowPass Knob                                Left sitting at max setting to the right on rear of sub (I believe value is 160)
- Front Left                         15.1 ft. is now what I've set the distance chk. at manually, as opposed to 0.1 ft
- Front Right                       15.3 ft. is now what I've set the distance chk. at manually, as opposed to 1.3 ft.
So there we are... ANY additional insight you may have on any of the values I've reported to you and whether or not they seem reasonable or completely out of whack is greatly appreciated. My main concerns/questions are the various Crossover Freqency values set by Audyssey and whether or not they should likely be manually adjusted by me to better utilize/distribute the sound between the various speakers / sub, and secondly, why/how did Audyssey so incorrectly set the distance of my Front Left & Front Right speakers and was it likely wise of me to have set them to what they should be w/a new distance setting now of around 15 ft. for each of the Front Left and Front Right speakers?
Here are my questions in a nutshell now. I'm probably overanalyzing things now since having experienced this audio issue a few weeks ago and now I'm prob. hyper-sensitive to all aspects of the home theater sound I have at present.
(1) Why do commercials seem to have expanded sound using all speakers whereas just you plain ol' TV programs seem to use fewer speakers and just mainly the center channel aside from some occasional applause and such coming out of the Front Left and Front Right speakers?
The commercials are most likely broadcast in stereo instead of surround sound. The receiver will switch from dolby digital to stereo and you won't even notice it except for the sound.
(2) Why would I hit the "STD" button on the receiver remote to choose Dolby Digital vs. when
to hit the "SIMU" button on the receiver remote to select "5 Channel Stereo" or other options via that "SIMU" button?5 Channel stereo is just that, Its 2 channel stereo being output through all 5 channels. It is not 5 channel surround. Standard give you Dolby digital, Prologic II etc. Simulation gives you 5 channel stereo, Matrix, Hall and the other simulated surrounds. You want to hit the standard button.
(3) On rear of subwoofer, I've set the LowPass knob all the way to the right, assuming that the "LFE +Main" and "LPF for LFE = 120Hz" settings override the LowPass knob on the rear of the sub, therefore having that knob turned all the way to the right to allow the settings for the sub in the receiver itself to control the LowPass / Crossover stuff. Correct. As long as the sub accepts LFE signals the receiver will send anything lower than 120hz directly to the sub. If not that is why you are setting it to the highest setting.
(4) With Audyssey Crossover Frequencies set as shown above, are these reasonable/appropriate values to where all speakers are utilized properly for the equipment I have in distributing all low/mid/high frequencies appropriate between the various speakers / sub without audio drops and so forth? The Crossover Frequency stuff is probably the most confusing part of all of this to me.
Again, I can't thank you enough for your help and any additional recommendations you can make regarding my situation.

Pixel Bender custom multiply blend and other questions

I am creating photo editing application on iPad and i am using Pixel Bender to calculate effects. But ive got a problem with multiply blend mode.When i run it in CPU/GPU mode, it runs fine(result looks absolutly 1:1 as from photoshop). But when i switch to Flash Player mode, it dont want to render properly. I dont get any compilation errors. Ive got also some other questions:
1.How does PB performs on iOS ?
2.If my problem is becouse of incapability of FP, is there any other solution to this ? I cant afford AS3.0 computing, becouse it is really slow even on PC.
3. Can be Pixel Bender 3D sollution to this ? If yes, when will it come out to iOS ?
4. How are filters computed in FP ? CPU or GPU ?
here, you can see the difference : http://ponozka.php5.cz/gpuMode.jpg http://ponozka.php5.cz/flashMode.jpg
Thanks
source code :
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel MultiplyLayer
<   namespace : "Your Namespace";
    vendor : "Richard Molnar";
    version : 1;

    input image4 src;
    input image4 layer;

        maxValue:float4(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0);
        defaultValue:float4(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0);
    >;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        pixel4 pix;
        pixel4 pix2;
        pix = sampleNearest(src,outCoord());
        pix2 = sampleNearest(layer,outCoord());
        dst.r = pix.r - pix.r * (1.0-(pix2.r))*param.r*pix2.a*param.a;
        dst.g = pix.g- pix.g * (1.0-(pix2.g))*param.g*pix2.a*param.a;
        dst.b = pix.b -pix.b * (1.0-(pix2.b))*param.b*pix2.a*param.a;
        dst.a = 1.0;

Ok, so i already know, that CPU/GPU and flash are giving different results. So lets have a situation, where you need to display transparent image without transparency. On GPU/CPU, you will need only this :
dst.r = src.r;
dst.g = src.g;
dst.b = src.b;
dst.a = 1.0;
but for flash, you will need this :
dst.r = (1.0/src.a)*src.r;
dst.g = (1.0/src.a)*src.g;
dst.b = (1.0/src.a)*src.b;
dst.a = 1.0;
First kernel on GPU will show the exact same result as second kernel on flash. But the question remains : is it bug ?

New firmware m1217nfw release date and other questions ...

Hi everybody!
Does anybody knows when a new firmware update will be released? It seems that the latest release (2013-09-30, version 20130912) has a serious known issue and HP recommends : "Please do not update with this version" on the web site ...
The problem is that the version installed on my printer (version 20130211) seems to have a potential security vulnerability. The vulnerability could be exploited remotely to gain unauthorized access to
data! An intermediate firmware version (2013-07-26, version 20130703) was previously released to correct this issue but I can't find it on hp web site. Does anybody knows where I can find it???
My last question is about firmware update : HP recommends to update firmware by using an USB 2.0 cable connected to the printer. I successfully updated the firmware (twice) with the network interface of the printer. Should I avoid this method and use an USB 2.0 cable?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

You can't.
They did this for a reason, as part of FairPlay.
There's no way to get around this.....
If the information on the purchase content is wrong (like wrong release date), contact Apple, and they might be able to correct it.

Downloaded Trial - An issues and some questions

I just downloaded the trial and have some issues and questions I hope someone here can help with.
My problem:
I am unable to use the Media encoder to create any output files. I get the error, "The source and output color space are not compatible or a conversion does not exist". This happens when I attempt compositing video clips. If I use a single video clip I don't have this issue.
Using the Export - Movie menu option works (for the same composite), but the amount of time it takes (a hour and 20 minutes for a 4 minute movie) too much and I can't see myselfe going too far or dooing too much work in this fashion. I believe my hardware specs are well above the required specs. If this normal?
Questions:
1. I can't import mpeg video. Is this by design? If so why?
3. I can't export to wmv? Is this by design, if so why?
What is the true minimum hardware spec. for someone intending to edit/create HDV? In other words, what is someone out there using that works. I'm really not looking to have to spend a ton of money on a new machine :).

John,
Thank you for the info. So I take it I can use mpeg as my source in the purchased product?
Do you know why I am not able to use the media encoder options to generate any output? What does the error message mean?
Jeron,
I'm not sure what your reply is in response to. (since I didn't ask about HDV) :)
I would like to hear from anyone about the hardware they're using for HDV work.
Are the minimum specs for HDV cited on the documentation really a viable editing experience?

New Droid Turbo takes forever to load pictures on social media? ...and other questions!

Hey all, I just got my new Droid Turbo a week ago and I've noticed some shortcomings that I'm not sure how to handle. They're not major, but they irritate me. I'll just list them...
-On social media (Instagram and Facebook specifically), the pages load fine but most/all of the pictures take nearly a minute or more to load, if they load at all. Never had an issue with Samsung or previous Motorola phones doing this.
-I occasionally get a popup error that "Contacts has stopped" even when I'm not accessing it or the program is closed (it usually happens when I'm making a call).
-I have a setting to make my Gmail mail sync automatically, but it doesn't always do it, and the phone is supposed to notify me but only does it sometimes.
-How to make "folders" in photo Gallery?
-Google Play music is synced, but doesn't play AT ALL...just "thinks."
I think that's all I have for now. Sorry it's so much, but I appreciate any help you all have! Thanks!!
*Lauren*

Congratulations on your new Droid Turbo. We'd love to help make sure your new phone is working properly. For the photos in Instagram and Facebook, Is it that some photos appear and others do not? How are photos in other applications or different websites? As for the Gmail sync, have you checked the settings under Gmail to ensure the sync options are set to your preference. In regards to the folders for the gallery, folders are usually created on their own and based on where pictures are created. For the Play Music, what happens when you try to play songs?

Minor ThinkPad issues and some questions

What I'm using
IBM ThinkPad R40
Pentium-M 1.4Ghz (Banias)
Mobility Radeon 7500 with 32MB RAM
512MB RAM
Hitachi DVD-ROM/CD-burner combo
PCMICA Gigabit Ethernet card using Realtek r8139 chip (as the onboard one is broke)
Hitachi 40GB 4200rpm HDD
I don't use wireless.
How's Arch installed? (details)
I've used the "base" install CD of the recently released 2007.05 "Duke". I basically took all the default suggestions in regards to partitions (as I'm testing an install process that works best on this ThinkPad).
For the power saving bits:
I installed acpid, powernowd, and powersave.
As well, from the "unsupported" AUR: kpowersave (0.7.x one) and kima.
For the kernel, its the default one but recompiled with resume as one of the HOOKS. Other than that, no other changes were made.
In /etc/rc.conf,
for the MODULES section, I've added: speedstep_centrino and ibm_acpi
for the DAEMONS section, I've added: acpid, powernowd, and powersaved
In /etc/rc.local,
I added: echo enable,0xffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
In /etc/modprobe.conf,
I added: options ibm_acpi experimental=1
For some reason the swap partition was never activated, so this is necessary: mkswap /dev/sda2
(Is that a bug in the 2007.05 release?)
For Suspend-to-Disk to work, I had to add the following in /boot/grub/menu.lst
On the line that starts with kernel, I added: resume=/dev/sda2
I got everything I needed to work.
(Everything that mattered to me)
This includes the ThinkPad Fn+keys (F3, F4, and F12), and the two grey keys for Forward and Back in KDE and Firefox. (ThinkPad owners will know these F19 and F20 key through xmodmap). Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk works. Dynamic CPU throttling works. Manually setting the CPU speed works as well (via kpowersave). Through kima KDE applet, I can view CPU speed, uptime and temp on the taskbar.
What's the problem? (and questions)
But not everything is perfect...
(1) When I do Suspend-to-Disk OR when I shutdown the system, the hard disk does NOT shutdown properly (like it was in Windows or my old install of Arch Linux). Instead of a normal cricket sound of the HDD head parking, I get the same sound as if I pushed the power button (no battery installed) while its on. A high-pitched shutdown.
This results in Arch booting up occasionally with a message about HDD not properly shutting down and needing to force a check. This is obviously bad from a data integrity and HDD perspective.
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you resolve this issue?
(2) Once I finished testing Suspend-to-RAM, I check dmesg. I get some lines referring to a problem with the USB ports:
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on Port 3
(happens on Port 1 and 4 as well).
Anybody have an idea what its complaining about? Should I ignore it?
(I don't have any USB devices plugged in)
Other questions?
(3) I previous installed Arch Linux 0.72 with hibernate-script and the kernel26beyond kernel without the two issues as noted previously. Since the "Beyond" kernel is no longer being maintained, Is it OK to use the recently released default kernel with hibernate-script? Will it work?
(4) If I use the hibernate-script approach to Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk, what applet or app does on use in KDE to allow you to set the desired speed or power scheme? (I like how kpowersave does things, but that reads off powersave)
As you can see, I almost have my Thinkpad working the way I want it with Arch Linux. There's just a few niggles that need to be resolved. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

Well, I tried both approaches: Kernel with Suspend2 and the regular Kernel (2.6.21.3-1)
Both suffer the same HDD issue, but under slightly different scenarios.
They both will get the problem when you suspend to disk (call it STD from now on). But if you enable "RediSafe-like" function on the Suspend2 side, the HDD problem doesn't occur. It shuts down perfectly. However, when I resume back from STD, I lose all IBM button functionality. When I go to shutdown, the HDD problem appears.
With the regular Kernel, the HDD shutdown issue happens regardless if I STD or shutdown the system.
Either way, I'll disable STD use for now. At least until Arch's regular kernel and Suspend2 one moves to 2.6.22 Kernel. So it IS a Kernel related issue.
Here's how I did the Fn keys for my ThinkPad R40 (Pentium-M 1.4Ghz with Mobility Radeon 7500)
In /etc/acpi/events, I created the following files with their respective contents using Suspend2 for STD.
Please note: I don't have wireless on this notebook, that's why you won't see a Fn-F5 one.
Fn-F3 (Turn off and on display backlight. or Blank screen)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001003
action=/etc/acpi/events/backlight.sh
backlight.sh (You will need radeontool from the AUR. Be sure to make this executable. ie: chmod +x backlight.sh)
#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /tmp/backlightoff ]
then
radeontool light on
rm /tmp/backlightoff
else
radeontool light off
touch /tmp/backlightoff
fi
Press Fn-F3 to blank screen. Press Fn-F3 again to get out of it.
Fn-F4 (Suspend to RAM)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
action=echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
Fn-F7 (Switches between VGA and your notebook's display. I haven't tested this, but its what I got form the ibm_acpi README!)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007
action=echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
Fn-F12 (Need sudo and add your user into the wheel as well as an entry into /etc/sudoers.)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000100c
action=sudo hibernate
lid (Causes same function as Fn-F4. That is, Suspend to RAM)
event=button/lid
action=echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
As mention the problem with the above, is once I resume from STD with Suspend2 Kernel, I lose their functionality.
Maybe I should be changing handler.sh in /etc/acpi instead of adding stuff to events?

MacBook Pro 13" Hard Drive and other questions

Hi there,
I've just purchased a 13" MBP which I absolutely love but have a few questions about upgrading it. I want to swap out the hard drive for a larger capacity but just want to make sure I purchase one that will fit.
I'll number the questions for ease of answering.
1. Will this hard drive be correct? I know it's a 2.5" SATA but I didn't know if the dimensions are ok for the 13" MBP.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Scorpio-Black-WD3200BJKT-internal/dp/B001FBJJQ4
2. Will the difference between a 7200rpm 16MB cache drive and a 5400rpm 8mb cache drive be noticeable? I can get a 500gb slower speed drive for the same price and while the capacity increase would be useful, I would prefer a faster drive if it's noticeable.
Many thanks

That article I believe to be incorrect! The author never mentions which Scorpio drive....Blue or Black. The Blue does not contain a free fall sensor option as the Black is available with our without free fall sensor. The free fall sensor will interfere with the Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) built into the Mac. SMS can be disabled but my experience first hand with the Scorpio Black in my MBP 13 was not good even after disabling the SMS and merely using the free fall sensor in the Black. If you want a 7200 RPM drive and you like West Dig get the Black without the free fall sensor. You will be much happier. I run the Black in several Windows Laptops and it streams fast then the 7200.4 which I also have in a windows laptop and the scorpio black performed better and more stable! I just dont think I personal would not use it on the MBP 13...I took mine out for it was problematic!! If you want a 500 GB go with the Fujitsu or the Hitachi...even the the Western Dig Scorpio Blue with does not have a free fall sensor. The author of that article mentioned ShockGuard that is not a Free Fall sensor and only engages durring spin up or down as well as parks when it is off. This does not sense a fall like the SMS or a built in free fall sensor. Many MBP unibody owner have used the Blue and it has been hugely successful!!! My experience which is very extensive with Seagate as of late has not been favorable. I do not like the latest generation of drives they are producing we are seeing extensive failures (higher % compared to other OEMs). Stick with those three.
If you want battery life, the Fujitsu or Hitachi are very good choices Fujitsu being a little better
For speed the WD Blue is best on synthetic tests but it is a little power hungry. I am sticking with the Fujitsu in real world test it seemed to do better than the others...H2Benchw it wasnt as good. PCmark it did very well. The Gaming, Video and other test it seemed to do well on but not as good in the h2Benchw.

EXSP24 in LE7 and other questions

I have worked out that the sampler instrument editor in LE7 has been removed which is kinda an odd upgrade from Logic Audio 6 imo. If i have this wrong please let me know.
So how do I go about adding in new instruments from sample cd's etc??
I am used to running Logic Audio 6 on my old Imac in System 9 so the new or apparent lack of Logic Folders etc is quite bizarre for me. So if anyone can also throw me some pointers on:
1: Using Reason adapted for Recycle as a rewired instrument in LE7 (I have a feeling this is not possible)
2: Using Absynth within LE7
3: Will something like Kontakt run in LE7?
4: Rewiring Logic into Live or vice versa.
So many questions
Thanks
Paul

You can't edit EXSP24 instruments but you can import several formats:
Akai, Soudfonts, Giga, SampleCell and DLS.
To create your own patches you need some external apps like this:
http://www.redmatica.com/Site/Pages/KM.php
About other questions and supposing that you don't have a Intel Mac:
1. Yes, you can.
2. Logic uses plugins in Audio Unit format; if you have an older version of Absynth you should upgrade to a newer one.
3. Same as above,
4. Logic can act as Rewire host only so you can rewire Live to Logic but not Logic to Live.
cheers

What Tech Specs are needed for iOS developement and other game developement?

I am looking to buy a new macbook pro most likely the retina because it has a much higher resolution and flash storage which will make it much faster than a regular macbook pro. I am going to use this computer for programming including iOS developement and web design. I will also be using higher end applications like cinema 4d, unity 3d, and the adobe products.
I am in school so i will also be using this for simple school functions.
I was wondering should i get the 16gb model or is 8 enough?
And should i get more internal storage than 256 gb and just use the Apple Time Capsule for a wireless external hard drive or get more storage on the macbook?

Since the RAM on the Retina model can't be upgraded by the user, I would go with the full 16GB.
I would also look at the 512GB flash storage option - you don't want to lug around an external drive.
Just my 2¢...

SOA Design issues and other politics

Hi all,
I have a requirement for live data feed from external system. I am using SOA11g and JDeveloper 11g. There are two designs, one proposed and other I have in mind to achieve this.
1) The external system sends XML data in a push model to the exposed SOA Web Service (uses one-way messaging mode) at my end. I then store the message in the database
a) In this design how do we keep track of all messages that are sent are received. Is there a better solution.
2) The third party is proposing a Web Service at their end. The application being real-time (i.e any changes at their DB end i.e some DB tables, should be propogated across to our web services using XML messages). I will have to keep sending XML requests on a regular basis (say every 5 seconds). Can I achieve such type of Web Service client using SOA 11g?
a) Here I have a design issue, that the data feed is live, why do the WS client have to keep sending requests at regular intervals. Why can't the third party send data whenever there is an update/insert at their database end. Third party is coming up with advantages like loose coupling and making the Web Service more generic. I doubt all the claims give that the applications are B2B and we are the other ones who will be using their web services for the time being. Their may be other two organizations later on.
b) If the first request is not yet returned, will the second request after 5 seconds be blocked.
This designs and solutions are becoming quite political across organizations, and got to do with who will take the blame for data issues. I just want a proper SOA design for live data feed. Please suggest the advantages and disadvantages of both if anybody has been through this path.
Thanks

40RV525U HDMI issues, and other problems

I'm using the 40RV525U model, and none of the HDMI ports work consistently, if at all. It's been like this since I bought the TV, but I (unfortunately) didn't take it back because I could use component cables with the PS3...it's primary purpose. I recently bought a PS4, and there are no component cables available, and converters don't work. Surpringly, I was able to get the HDMI 1 port to work after changing the PS4's output to 720p, but it wasn't consistent. It worked great for about 3 days, no problems at all. And then last night, it started losing the handshake every 30 seconds or so. I would get the dreaded snow screen (snow looks great in HD, btw) and black screen, and then it would re-connect and I'd have picture for a minute.
The fact that I was able to get it to work for 3 days without the slightest problem leads me to believe that it's a firmware issue. I'm on 1.05, the latest firmware version that I can find. Are there any further updates? The problems with this TV are numerous, but I like the picture, and I can't really afford to buy a new TV.
Thanks

Latency setting issues, and other problems.

Hello, this is my first time posting on a forum, and I wouldn't be here if I didn't think this was an interesting problem.
My computer (Hardware listings below) has a microphone lag issue. I tested it by plugging in my microphone and recording the recording through speakers, and it is very clearly lag. I am in need of a solution to that, but that is just where my problem starts. Whenever I try and load in an MPEG4 audio file, it seems to play and then all of my sound goes out on my system. Sometimes the sound goes out immediately after opening the program. The way I treat it is by putting my computer to sleep and waking it up, and the sound then returns until the program decides to randomly shut it down again. The mixing tables are reacting on screen, but there are no system sounds coming out at all. On top of that, when trying to fix my latency issues, it didn't help enough moving it down to 30 on the hardware options for the MME settings. It could be my computer is too slow or something, but I also tried switching it to asio. I have ASIO4all and I don't know if I should be running it, as I don't know too much about how my system would interact with all of these programs. I run Audition 5.5 fully legally, and I can update with whatever. I just want to be able to overdub without any lag, and everything I do to try and fix it makes a new problem happen. I am using a microphone plugged into the 3.5mm microphone slot on the motherboard. It's a Sure mic plugged in through an SLR to Quarter Inch male cable
SYSTEM:
Built
OS: Windows 7
Motherboard: EVGA P55 FTW 200 SLI
Processor: Intel I-5 760 quad core
RAM: 16 gigs Corsair XMS3
Video card: EVGA GTX 460 SE
Hard drive: W.D. Caviar Black 7200 RPM 1TB
Coolermaster storm scout case
Disc drive and Corsair power supply
If anybody knows any part in fixing or at least telling me why I have issues with all of the information I provided, I would love to hear it. I just want to record so badly after spending all of this money on the software and hardware and cables and etc...
Thank You
