Is it necessary to use a cleaner such as Onyx to clean a Mac Pro?

Certainly not a routine necessity. If you are having problems then by all means but use with care - take the time to understand what it can do. And the more routine stuff is handled by OSX anyway.

When is necessary to use import statements to import classes?

Hi,
I'm sure that it must be necessary to use import statements
in some situations, I'm finding that my code often works fine
without them. For example, some instructions will say it is
necessary to use import.flash.events.MouseEvent; before
MouseEvent.CLICK will work, or that I must import the loader class
before loading an SWF, but I'm finding that I can skip timporting
and it works fine. Could anyone please explain why this it, and
give me some idea of how to knew when to import and when I don't
have to?
Thank you in advance!

Importing is only necessary when you create you own classes
or are using a class that Flash doesn't auto import such as the
fscommand package. Any time you create your own custom
package/class, it is also necessary to use import statements unless
you add the folder containing your custom packages to the default
class path.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose?

hi!
I make a e-book and it will be published on appstore and android market as application.
I'm wondering about font.
Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose like me?
I bought a mountain lion on appstore.
I look forward to hearing from apple whether it is lawful or not.
Have a blessed day~:)

Strangely, there isn't and end user license on Apple's site regarding iOS. But here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

What are the benefits of using a namespace, such as 'flow'?

In the past week I started to delved thru several blogs, livedocs and api articles on TLF, and noticed in some XML data to be used in TLF uses a namespace, such as 'flow'. What benefits are there currently and/or in the near future of using them? And is it advisably to have exisiting data to use a namespace?
By the way, this framework gives me goosebumps. Can't wait to start producing some work from it.

The main reason to use a namespace is if you want to use some of your elements, and don't want to have to worry about name collisions. But you can make the tlf namespace (or any other) the default namespace, and then you don't have to use the flow: prefix everywhere.
Glad you're looking forward to writing code on TLF! Let us know how it goes for you.
Thanks,

Is there a way to use a namespace, such as "Library", and have a program with a different namespace include the Library namespace?

For many years, I have maintained a library of often used functions for C++. This has become more challenging with the required namespace for C#.
Is there a way to use a namespace, such as "Library", and have a program with a different namespace include the Library namespace?

You could create a class X in a namspace Y in a C# class library project. You can then add a reference to this class library project/assembly from every application in which you intend to use the class X in namespace Y.
You don't add references to namespace, you add references to assemblies in .NET. You can then use a class in namespace Y of any referenced assembly by adding a using directive at the top of the code file in which you reference the class:
using Y;

Is it necessary to use the standard function modules always?

Hi All,
Suppose i can retrieve the BUSINEES PARTNER ID from the table BUT000 with the help of 'BP_GUID' field through a select query statement.
Now is it necessary to use a standard function module to retrieve the same data. what about the performance? which is the better solution. to implement our own code or to use the function module available.
Please someone clarify me about this issue.
Regards,
Sharry.

If you'd ask the question in general it's obvious that there is no good answer as it always would depend on the circumstance. However, as you've posted your question in the performance tuning forum, let's look at your question in this context first. I think it's fairly safe to say, that in almost 100% of the cases a standard function module will not be as fast as any well implemented and custom tailored code. If in doubt, just try reading the code of the function module you want to read; most likely you will find lots of unnecessary fluff in there, often they read data that you don't even need.
And as far as buffering is concerned, that can also be an issue. E.g. let's say you do a massive read of distinct business partners and you only need the data once for each partner. Obviously buffering is silly in this case and it might even slow down your program, because the implemented buffering is not necessarily well implemented. I've come across a few cases, where the buffer tables where standard tables with no efficient read access (so no sorted table or hash table) and once tons of data were buffered, it actually took a moment to look up if the record already was buffered (just to find it wasn't there yet).
Now most of the times this slowdown is not an issue as the lookup is still fast compared to the (usually) prevalent database accesses with their slower IO timing. But another factor to consider is memory consumption and why buffer data in memory (and waste it), if you can't use the buffer anyway? So when I do use standard function modules, I usually try to see what they retain in global memory, to better understand if I need to call some initialization/clearing/refresh function...
Note also that often you need to process lots of data, but don't find a standard function module for "mass access", so you need to read your object one by one. Obviously that's another good candidate for implementing your own queries, where you can process the data in packages.
So what might be the reason to use a standard function module? Well, often it's required because the logic is so complex that it would take you too much time to implement it (not to mention that we often simply don't know all the logic that's coded in there). Another advantage is that you might get independent of the data model. E.g. for IDoc interfaces SAP switched in some release the tables where the data is stored. So if you had coded your own queries to get IDoc data, they wouldn't have worked after this particular release upgrade. The standard function on the other hand, checks both the old and new tables, so by using it you would have been fine.
The one major caveat I'd give though is to always check whether the function module is released or at least documented to some degree. I.e. if it's not released, SAP won't support it and does not guarantee that the interface or logic stays the same. In my experience lots of functions I do want to use are not released (or documented), but I will still use them because they seem to be the best alternative in certain scenarios.

Is it necessary to use a rs232 interface?

Hi, I have a AL104 mass scale and I'm trying to read the weight on labview, I hook it up to the computer using a rs232 cable, but I don't really understand how the device and the computer is communicating, I use VISA to write the program, but I can't locate the resourse name (address of the input) . Some one told me I might need to use a rs232-GPIB converter, because the computer is not detecting the hardware. I want to ask, is it necessary to use a converter in order for the computer to send and receive signal from the device? becasue it seems to me that even the pc and the device is connected thru the cable, the data still not transfering between the two... or how do I check the computer knows the device is "attached"??
Really appreciate if someone can go thru what I should do from the beginning to when I'm able to read the output from the computer!!!
Thanks!!

RS-232 and GPIB are two different things. Looking up AL104 by Google, I came across this page that as a link to the manual http://balance.balances.com/scales/1114
The manual shows it is using RS-232. That means you write a command to the Com port and read back the response. There is no hardware to detect. Your VISA port will be whatever com port you have it connected to. Com1, com2, ....
That manual told to look for the command set. I found this link http://us.mt.com/mt_ext_files/Editorial/Generic/1/PL-S_SICS_0x0002467000027246000b531d_files/B-S-AL-... That should tell you all you need to know about communicating with the balance.

I can no longer back-delete or hit return to make a new paragraph, nor can i use the arrows to go backwards and forwards in a line; it's like the fn key is stuck; i've taken it off and cleaned it, and it looked clean.

Then it's time for a new keyboard. If you are still under warranty, call AppleCare.

Apps that arbitrarily restrict which users may use the App, such as by location or carrier, may be rejected

Hello,
I have an inquiry, this section:
Apps that arbitrarily restrict which users may use the App, such as by location or carrier, may be rejected
We have an mBanking app to be built and the Bank is insisting on forcing a mandatory update when there is a need
and the user should be restricted from logging in in such case (as a security update or important bug fixes).
Does the above fit in what will be rejected? Will the application be rejected in such a case? if so are there any workarounds?
Thanks
nsawaya

No, no, and no.
Sorry, but this is Apple we’re talking about here.
