Is there a good basic mastering program out there? Is it PEAK?

I'm just doing demos...but I want them to sound decent... just the basic volume levels... setting up the tracks and the spaces between the tracks... What are my choices?

Essentially the basic mastering chain is this:
EQ - Compression - Peak Limiting
Make your multitrack mixes nice and dynamic with tons of safe headroom and NO EQ or peak limiting on the master fader bus. Then set up a new session, even in Logic, and load up just your stereo mix of the song you finished. Set up a channel strip with these three plug-ins, EQ, compression (maybe multiband), and then a peak limiter to set your final loudness. If you don't have good metering, then use some of your favorite CD's as a general EQ and loudness reference. Turn some knobs, be very subtle with the compression, don't push it too loud, make sure the beats still have punch, and then bounce that file. Then you can export that mastered file and dither it to 16 bits so it's CD ready. You just mastered. If it sounds like crap, then send it to me or your favorite mastering engineer. We'll gladly provide the service.
In the pro mastering world, your audio is very likely to get processed thru analog gear. But for quick and dirty home brewed mastering, this is the very basic concept. The pro's will have extremely accurate metering that will show RMS average loudness. The ratio between the average loudness and the peak loudness is a critical aspect of true mastering. Read articles or books by Bob Katz. He really knows how to teach the science of calibrated monitors and meters for mastering. It really does get very deep for high quality work, but many people just don't have the budget, and simply want something in the ballpark. Key knowledge and lots of experience really pay off in mastering.

Any good Leopard-compatible greeting card programs out there?

My wife wants to print the cards herself vs. going through the Apple Print Service. Does anyone know of any good greeting card software out there that works with Leopard? Thanks

Is there a forum for discussing basic cad programs

I used to use a basic cad program called floorplan(on windows). As it was an 8 bit version it stopped working on windows 7 so I ended up with the old PC set up just to use that.
Having become an Apple convert I want to get rid of all the old Microsoft stuff but want a basic uncomplicated program which lets me do basic floor plans as well as the occasional 2D drawing for building projects. this means I want to be able to see the angle the line is being drawn at, the length of the line etc.
there are plenty of programs out there but how do I test them without wasting money on ones that are either to complicated for my needs or to simple to do what I need?

No, and there won't be until the final version of it comes out.

Any Patient Tracking Program out there?

Does anyone know if there is any simple patient tracking program out there?
Functions that will be needed is patients demographic information, name ,age, sex, number of times they visited, patient number visits in a single day, as well as a way to bill them and invoice upon visit.

If there is nothing specific you can research FileMaker Pro for any ready made forms they might have that would be similar in nature to what you want.

iMovie projects do not like being zipped. Unless you have the unzipped original you will have to create the project again.
Furthermore there's probably no point in trying to zip it. Many media formats such as mp3, AAC, mp4, jpeg are already compressed and compressing again just adds overhead (making them bigger) as well as placing them in a format that is hard to recover anything from should something go wrong.

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

Any good, basic universal graphics editing software available?

Hi - I'm looking for any suggestions on a very basic image/graphics editor for manipulating jpeg and tiff files. very simple stuff like cutting and pasting portions of image files and pasting to create a single montage page. don't need any photo enhancement features at all. I have Photoshop Elements 3, but its slow and overkill on intel OS X for what I need. I suspect there's a good shareware program out there, but was curious if anyone has found a universal app.
Many thanks!

Graphic converter is outstanding and always has been. It is available in a universal format. The author of it has been working on it for many years, updates it all the time, is very responsive if you have a question and the program is cheap for all you get. It will do about 90% of what Photoshop will but for about one tenth the price. It works with more than just images and can convert file formats and do just about anything you would need.
I have been using it or about 10 years now and am just an amateur who dabbles a bit with photographs.

Pulling a program out of the IDE

I have been playing with pulling small progrograms out of my Integrated development environment (IDE); writing them to CD; and installing them on other desktops, just as an exercise in the case I want to deliver some applications to a friend.
The overall requirements(steps) are not clear to me.
1.the directory organization
2. the file (jar) creation
3. the D0S (java.exe) window
Are some of the issue that come to mind.
I have been able to use a desktop icon and set the path to a program.class file and run it--making the program window appear but the java.exe Dos window also appears.
So far, the number of texts I have give no step by step instructions on how to configure an environment without an IDE with the java VM already intalled, or how to pull a program out of the IDE and install it along with a copy of the VM on another machine.

Good question. Lot's of people don't know this, and I can't even say I have all the right answers. There are probably numerous ways you could do this. The best way, if you have the money, is to buy something like InstallAnywhere or Wise that provide professional installations. Not only will your install look like professional installation of stuff like Photoshop, etc but it will also handle issues like OS platform specifics, environment variables, registry entires (if possible), the proper JRE/JDK installed... if not install it, uninstallation features, and so forth. That is by far the best way to go.
However, often you just want to bundle something up and send it out to a few friends, family, etc. You could of course look for an open source or freeware utitlity and no doubt there are some out there. Or, you could do what a lot of people do now, use the Ant tool (written in Java) and have a build script that does everything for you. I have a simple template build script that is used for various tasks. In our work setup, it does local dev (incremental) compiles, and if necessary packaging it up into .jar/.zip files. My single build script can also run junit tests and reports, builds executable packages into .zip and .jar's as necessary, will do a clean build (great for making sure any code changes don't break some code elsewhere, thus ensuring that your normal incremental build process is not missing something), it can FTP or copy files to locations, it can email results, and so forth. If you don't know about ant, I STRONGLY suggest you learn it quickly, and to me there is no better way than buy the book Java Development with Ant. Two of the main Ant developers/committers wrote the book and it does an excellent job of teaching you about all the different uses of Ant, including the template build script I now use. It is well worth the $40 or so you'll find the book for, and within a week you'll have a good build template that you can modify for specific projects.
Now, in terms of the 3 things, well, the directory organization is always changing. Each project may have something different, but here is one that I usually use:
<root project dir>: (below this you'll find)
/src - location of all src files
/src/java - the location of the project specific java code
/src/examples - if need be (especially useful for frameworks and API's you wish to share) show example applications using the output of the /src/java code
/src/test - location of JUnit, jfcUnit and other test files to unit test your code (very important, should be done no matter what!!)
/lib - location of any 3rd party libraries you need, both for compilation and runtime. Keep in mind that your build script may pull only a subset of these libraries in for runtime. For example, the /src/test that uses JUnit will require the junit.jar file. You won't need this for runtime, so your build script sets up a compile classpath with junit.jar, and a runtime classpath that will exclude junit.jar, perhaps others.
/dist - the location that the build script puts all distributable files. This would be any executable .jar file, any .zip file, perhaps other files necessary for distribution. If you were making a large application and planned to burn it to disk, instead of a single .zip file, you may actually build the sub-dirs below the /dist/<your app> type of dir, so that you can simply burn from that <your app> dir to the root of the cd.
/build - location of all compiled classes, including from /src/java, /src/examples, /src/test.
/build/classes - the location of compiled java code
/build/test - the location of test results, including perhaps test data to be used by the test code, and possibly the output dir of test reports
- /build/test/reports for example for output of test reports.
/doc - location of any documentation, including the JavaDoc produced by the build script from your src.
<project root> - this is the location of your build.xml ant build script, if need be. The build script, as you would learn in the book, is set up so that you can move it anywhere and it will still build your project correctly. You may opt to put it in the /scripts dir instead and keep the project root super clean.
/misc or /etc - common location to put things like properties files, misc files used to build projects. For example, in the building of a EJB application (.jar or .ear file), you will no doubt need the META-INF/application.xml file. Or in a .jar file you need a special META-INF/manifest.mf file. The /misc or /etc dir is a good candidate for these types of things. You can even package it up in your app so that in the .jar file you have /etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties, and in your code do a simple getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties") to always ensure you pull it from this directory. OR, your build script can "change" the location this file goes. It is all up to you.
That is what I use for all my projects, the dir structure anyway. What you do to build your .jar/.zip files is up to you. You usually don't need to pull the /src dir, the /dist dir, etc into your .jar/.zip files. Normally you'll have the compiled classes at the root. So in your project dir on your disk, you may have <project root>/build/classes/java/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and in your .jar file it would simply be <root of .jar file>/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and your build file can easily "change" the root path (using <zipfileset prefix=""> task) to change the path of any file. But more of that can be learned in that book and by looking up resources on the net. The Ant JavaDoc API is very good at explaining most of these as well, and there are TONS of ant scripts in most projects to look at for examples.
The file creation, well, as I said Ant has built in tasks you can use to create .jar files, .zip files, etc. All of that is all built in to how Ant works.
As for java.exe, well, in a professional app, you usually do one of two things. You either write a simple C/C++/Delphi/some other languages .exe wrapper (for windows) that internall executes the java.exe and runs the JVM to hide the window, as well as provide a .exe file to look more "native", or you run javaw.exe, which hides the Console output window for most apps. NOTE: if you create a .bat shortcut on your desktop to javaw.exe, you will STILL get a console window that shows up. ALL shortcuts to .bat files will always create a console window. Many java developers don't understand why they run javaw.exe from a shortcut on their desktop and still see the console window.
Now, hopefully that helped a bit. But if not, or you still have questions, I am watching this thread so fire away and I'll help more.

Any good video converter programs?

i was wondering if anyone knew of any good video converting programs to convert from different file formats, such as .mov to mp4, avi to mpeg, etc., where u can specify the final outputted file size. for example, ive used handbrake to convert my dvd's for my ipod and it allowed me to specify how big i wanted the video file to be at the end. is there anything like this, but not for dvd's? thanks for any help!
Macbook Pro 15.4 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 80gb 1.5gigs ram

it's a funny name.
I want to thank you for using that screen name. makes me giggle every time you post.
Compressor really is a powerful application and can create beautiful files. But you really need to know what you're doing or you can adjust the wrong setting and create something really ugly.
QuickTime Pro is a little more user friendly. Not as many options, but it can do quite a bit.
Sorenson Squeeze is another good one. I used to use it all the time on the PC, but since I've figured out Compressor, I rarely open it.

Basic Dialog Programming

Hello Everybody and hello World.
I would like to know how to do a basic dialog programming..
Can anyone help me?Please....
give me some advice....Im very eager to learn that dialog programming
Thanks in advance
aVaDuDz

hi
INTRODUCTION TO DIALOG PROGRAMMING
OVERVIEW
There are programs in every domain that require certain amount of user interaction .Such requirements in ABAP are fulfilled with the help of a user dialog and dialog programming which encapsulates the entire logic pertaining to the required user dialog.
One needs to take care that user interactions with the system are comfortable and user friendly along with being logically coherent.

What is a user dialog?
Any kind of user interaction with the system can be called as a user dialog:
1) Entering data on the screen.
2) Clicking a button.
3) Navigation between screens.
Need of dialog programming
In a typical dialog, the system displays a screen on which the user can enter or request information. As a reaction on the user input or request, the program executes the appropriate actions: it branches to the next screen, displays an output, or changes the database.
Example
A travel agent wants to book a flight. The agent enters the corresponding data on the screen. The system either confirms the desired request, that is, the agent can book the flight and the customer travels on the desired day on the reserved seat to the chosen destination, or the system displays the information that the flight is already booked up.
To fulfill such requirements, a dialog program must offer:
A user-friendly user interface
Format and consistency checks for the data entered by the user
Easy correction of input errors
Access to data by storing it in the database.
ABAP/4 offers a variety of tools and language elements to meet the requirements stated above in the dialog programs.
Why dialog programming is also known as module pool?
Dialog Programming consists of screens and corresponding ABAP program. Screens call dialog modules in the associated ABAP program from their flow logic. Type M programs serve principally as containers for these dialog modules, and hence dialog programming is also known as module pools. A module pool program is a program type which is not executable directly. You can not just run by hitting F8 like a report program. You must tie a transaction code to a screen in order to start the program.
VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF A DIALOG PROGRAM
Unlike report, interface or any conversion development which generally entails the creation of one autonomous program which can be executed independently of other objects, dialog program development entails development of multiple objects none of which can be executed on its own. Instead all objects are linked hierarchically to the main program and are executed in a sequence dictated by the Dialog Main Program.
Components of a dialog program
1) Transaction
2) Screen
3) GUI status
4) ABAP program
All these components are explained in detail below.
1) TRANSACTION :
The transaction starts a screen sequence. You create transaction codes in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench or using Transaction SE93. A transaction code is linked to an ABAP program and an initial screen. As well as using a transaction code, you can start a screen sequence from any ABAP program using the CALL SCREEN statement.
2) SCREEN
As a user of an R/3 system, one is always confronted with screens. From the moment one logs on, one can see a screen and one must perform actions on this screen. All those screens are components of ABAP programs. Generally, we define the screens of an ABAP program with the Screen Painter tool of the ABAP.
In the R/3 system, screens are program objects that consist of two parts. First, they have a layout that defines the front end appearance of the window that is presented to the user. Second, they have a flow logic that is executed on the backend by the application server. The screen flow logic is a program layer between the front end and the actual ABAP application program at the backend. The language used to program screen flow logic has a similar syntax to ABAP, but is not part of ABAP itself. Unlike ABAP programs, the screen flow logic contains no explicit data declarations. You define the screen fields by placing elements on the screen mask instead. When you define screen fields by referring to data types in the ABAP Dictionary, the runtime environment automatically creates dialogs for field help, input help, and error handling that depends on the semantics of the data type in the dictionary.
The screen flow logic is similar to an ABAP program in that it contains processing blocks. These processing blocks are event blocks that are triggered by the ABAP runtime environment. The most important event blocks are:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT
The respective event (PBO) is triggered after the PROCESS AFTER INPUT (PAI) processing of the previous screen and before the current screen is displayed.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT
The respective event (PAI) is triggered when the user chooses a function on the current screen.
PROCESS ON HELP REQUEST
This event is triggered when function key F1 is pressed.
PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST
This event is triggered when function key F4 is pressed.
The main task of these processing blocks is to call ABAP dialog modules using the MODULE statement. During the PBO event, you can call any dialog module in the ABAP program that is marked with the addition OUTPUT. In the PAI event, you can call any dialog module program that is marked with the addition INPUT. The screens of an ABAP program can share the dialog modules of that program. You use the dialog modules called during PBO to prepare the screen and the dialog modules called during PAI to react to the user input.
Each screen of an ABAP program has a unique screen number. The screens of an ABAP program can be combined to form screen sequences. Screen sequences are either built statically by setting the following screen in the Screen Painter or dynamically by overriding the static setting in the ABAP program. The last screen of a screen sequence is always the one where the following screen is set to zero.
HANDLING USER INTERACTIONS
A user can interact in various ways with screens. We distinguish between actions that trigger PAI and those that dont. In general, filling input fields with values does not trigger PAI.
Actions that do trigger PAI include:
Choosing a pushbutton on the screen.
Choosing a specially prepared check box or radio button on the screen.
Choosing a function in the menu, standard toolbar, or application toolbar.
Choosing a function key on the keyboard.
ATTRIBUTES OF SCREEN
Like all objects in the R/3 Repository, screens have attributes that both describe them and determine how they behave at runtime. Important screen attributes for ABAP programming:
 Program
The name of the ABAP program (type 1, M, or F) to which the screen belongs.
 Screen number
A four-digit number, unique within the ABAP program that identifies the screen within the program. If your program contains selection screens, remember that selection screens and Screen Painter screens use the same namespace. For example, if you have a program with a standard selection screen, you may not contain any further screens with the number 1000. Lists, on the other hand, have their own namespace.
 Screen type
A normal screen occupies a whole GUI window. Modal dialog boxes only cover a part of a GUI window. Their interface elements are also arranged differently. Selection screens are generated automatically from the definition in the ABAP program. You may not define them using the Screen Painter. A subscreen is a screen that you can display in a subscreen area on a different screen in the same ABAP program.
 Next screen
Statically-defined screen number, specifying the next screen in the sequence. If you enter zero or leave the field blank, you define the current screen as the last in the chain. If the next screen is the same as the current screen, the screen will keep on calling itself. You can override the statically-defined next screen in the ABAP program.
 Cursor position
Static definition of the screen element on which the cursor is positioned when the screen is displayed. By default, the cursor appears on the first input field. You can overwrite the static cursor position dynamically in your ABAP program by using SET CURSOR FIELD <f>
 Screen group
Four-character ID, placed in the system field SY-DYNGR while the screen is being processed. This allows you to assign several screens to a common screen group. You can use this, for example, to modify all of the screens in the group in a uniform way. Screen groups are stored in table TFAWT.
 Hold data
If the user calls the screen more than once during a terminal session, he or she can retain changed data as default values by choosing System -> User profile -> Hold data.
VARIOUS SCREEN ELEMENTS
A screen can contain a wide variety of elements, either for displaying field contents, or for allowing the user to interact with the program (for example, filling out input fields or choosing pushbutton functions). We use the Screen Painter to arrange elements on the screen.
We can use the following elements:
 Text fields
Display elements, which cannot be changed either by the user or by the ABAP program.
 Input/output fields and templates
Used to display data from the ABAP program or for entering data on the screen. Linked to screen fields.
 Dropdown list boxes
Special input/output fields that allow users to choose one entry from a fixed list of possible entries.
 Checkbox elements
Special input/output fields that the user can either select (value X) or deselect (value SPACE). Checkbox elements can be linked with function codes.
 Radio button elements
Special input/output fields that are combined into groups. Within a radio button group, only a single button can be selected at any one time. When the user selects one button, all of the others are automatically deselected. Radio button elements can be linked with function codes.
 Pushbuttons
Elements on the screen that trigger the PAI event of the screen flow logic when chosen by the user. There is a function code attached to each pushbutton, which is passed to the ABAP program when it is chosen.
 Frame
Pure display elements that group together elements on the screen, such as radio button groups.
 Subscreens
Area on the screen in which you can place another screen.
 Table controls
Tabular input/output fields.
 Tab strip controls
Areas on the screen in which you can switch between various pages.
 Custom Controls
Areas on the screen in which you can display controls. Controls are software components of the presentation server.
 Status icons
Display elements, indicating the status of the application program.
 OK field
Every screen has a twenty-character OK_CODE field (also known as the function code field) that is not displayed directly on the screen. User actions that trigger the PAI event also place the corresponding function code into this field, from where it is passed to the ABAP program. You can also use the command field in the standard toolbar to enter the OK field. To be able to use the OK field, you need to assign a name to it.
All screen elements have a set of attributes, some of which are set automatically, others of which have to be specified in the Screen Painter. They determine things such as the layout of the screen elements on the screen. You can set the attributes of screen elements in the Screen Painter - either for a single element, or using the element list, which lists all of the elements belonging to the current screen. Some of the attributes that you set statically in the Screen Painter can be overwritten dynamically in the ABAP program.
 3) GUI STATUS
Each screen has a GUI status. This controls the menu bars, standard toolbar, and application toolbar, with which the user can choose functions in the application. Like screens, GUI statuses are independent components of an ABAP program. You create them in the ABAP Workbench using the Menu Painter.
4) PROGRAM
Each dynpro refers to exactly one ABAP/4 dialog program. Such a dialog program is also called a module pool, since it consists of interactive modules. Each screen and GUI status in the R/3 System belongs to one ABAP program. The ABAP program contains the dialog modules that are called by the screen flow logic, and also process the user input from the GUI status. ABAP programs that use screens are also known as dialog programs.
In a module pool (type M program); the first processing block to be called is always a dialog module. However, you can also use screens in other ABAP programs, such as executable programs or function modules. The first processing block is then called differently; for example, by the runtime environment or a procedure call. The screen sequence is then started using the CALL SCREEN statement.
DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN SCREEN AND ABAP PROGRAM
During PAI, the system automatically transports all screen fields to identically named global ABAP program fields. At the end of the last PBO module, and before the screen is displayed, all of the data is transported from the ABAP program to any identically named fields in the screen. By standard, all screen data is transported immediately before PAI processing starts. But for the dedicated handling of screen fields for example, to carry out an error dialog you can control the moment at which data is passed from screen fields to their corresponding ABAP fields by using the FIELD statement in the screen flow logic.

Is "TuneupMyMac" a good and safe program to use?

Is "TuneupMyMac" a good and safe program to use?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most users don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

How much free space do you have on the drive? If you have around 20-30GB, that should be ample, so long as you are not intending to download or create a number of large files, like movies.
The space you will recover by removing unneeded languages and caches and temp files (which will be rebuilt anyway) will be minimal. Leave those alone.
If you need more room, only remove movies, documents, pictures, or music in your user Library. Or get an external drive and move them out there.
If you have ample free space, as above, and you are experiencing slow downs, they are being caused by something else, possibly insufficient RAM or a failing hard drive.

No idea what that's supposed to mean.

Basic RMI program works in windows but not Linux

Hello,
I'm trying to learn RMI for a program at work.
I have the book "Core Java 2 - Volume 2 - Advanced Features". Chapter 5 of this book is about RMI.
The most basic example program they use works fine in Windows. However, when I try to run this same program under linux it doesn't work.
For now, I'm not even trying to run a client (in linux)...just the server.
Here is the server code.
public class ProductServer
public static void main(String args[])
try
System.out.println
("Constructing server implementations...");
ProductImpl p1
= new ProductImpl("Blackwell Toaster");
ProductImpl p2
= new ProductImpl("ZapXpress Microwave Oven");
System.out.println
("Binding server implementations to registry...");
Naming.rebind("rmi://172.20.101.1/toaster", p1);
Naming.rebind("rmi://172.20.101.1/microwave", p2);
System.out.println
("Waiting for invocations from clients...");
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
What is very interesting is that this call works
Naming.rebind("rmi://172.20.101.1/toaster", p1);
But the very next line
Naming.rebind("rmi://172.20.101.1/microwave", p2);
Throws this error ::
java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return header: java.io.EOFException
at sun.rmi.transport.StreamRemoteCall.executeCall(StreamRemoteCall.java:221)
at sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef.invoke(UnicastRef.java:366)
at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl_Stub.rebind(RegistryImpl_Stub.java:133)
at java.rmi.Naming.rebind(Naming.java:172)
at ProductServer.main(ProductServer.java:35)
I would very much appreciate the help. Thank You.

We solved the problem
Apparently, on the linux machine we had both gcc and the jdk installed
the regualar compile command hit the jdk
the rmic command used the gcc version of rmic
the rmiregistry used the gcc version of rmiregistry
the regular run command hit the jdk
using the rmic and rmiregistry in the jdk made everything work fine
I knew it had to be a stupid answer.

My PS cs6 ask me to buy the program. I bought it several years ago. This is the third or 4th time I have had to talk to someone to straighten the program out. How can we remedy this problem PERMANENTLY?

What steps are you following each of those times to get things working again?
The way that Adobe activation and serialization works is kinda like signing into a website. When you log in, a cookie is left on your computer so that you don't have to sign in every time. With Adobe activation and serialization, you get similar cookie files, that way you never have to go through that process again. Adobe never touches those files again, it just checks them to make sure they are there.
You issue you are encountering is the result of this sort of cookie file being deleted, damaged, or invalidated in some way. In most cases, it is because of cleaning software treating it like a website cookie, thinking it is unimportant, and removing it. However, there are many other possibilities including files becoming corrupted due to disk or file handling errors by the system and major system changes.
To take care of the problem permanently, we have to find out exactly what the source of the issue is on your computer and eliminate it (or mitigate it if removing third-party software is out of the question).

Is there a good basic mastering program out there? Is it PEAK?
