Is there any particular reason Qt and hasn't been updated? [answered]
As the subject suggests, I'm curious as to why the latest Qt (and Qt Creator) hasn't been made available via pacman. Both have had newer versions out for a while and have also been flagged as out of date in pacman for probably the same amount of time.
Forgive my ignorance, I only recently came back to arch from using a source based distribution, so perhaps there's some logistical reason? Do all dependent packages need to be re-compiled for the newer version of this package? For example, to provide the latest Qt, would you want/need to re-compile all of the kde packages that depend on it? From my understanding, this is not a requirement (you can update gtk and qt without requiring a recompile of all dependent packages, so long as the API hasn't drastically changed and functionality hasn't been removed).
So... what gives?
[edit]
I should add that I just did an update today and there's a minor Qt update, along with a bunch of KDE packages. Why no major Qt update?
For the time being, I've downloaded the full SDK and installed it locally, in my home directory. But still, I'm hoping arch will provide the latest updates. Although I don't miss compile times, the great thing about the previous distro (and it's package manager) was that new releases were made available pretty quickly.

Anyway, all this has discussed many times before.
Ok, that's a fair point. I did attempt to search (admittedly, not very thoroughly), but the forum search doesn't allow you to search for just "Qt" related topics. I just did a quick search using google (site:bbs.archlinux.org qt 4.6) and the answer came up immediately. My bad! Thanks for the patient response!

Is there any practical reason to use DB helper class?
Is there any practical reason to use database helper class ( e.g. database.bookDB in Duke's bookstore)in servlet design? What if I setup a DB connection for every servlet?
to ken_robinson
I am currently setup DataSurece in servlet init().Usually (I know WebLogic is this way), if you configure the DataSource through the app server's configuration app, it is available to all applications.
The most efficient way to look up the DataSource in a particular app is have a ServletContextListener lookup the DataSource from JNDI and set it in the Context as an Attribute. Each servlet would then, in it's init() method, get the DataSource from the ServletContext (faster than using JNDI for each Servlet. The ServletContextListener requires the container you are running in support the 2.3 spec. If it does not, simply use a startup servlet (servlet that is loaded when the app is loaded) and do the same thing. -

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback. -
Is there any particular software is installed in HP so that head- phone should work
Hi,
I uninstalled some of the software after that headphone stopped working.
Is there any particular software is installed in HP so that head- phone should work.Hi,
I don't know which software you DID do unsinstall. Believe this or not: just get back home from work and my wife could not Skype with her sister using her laptop (1 week old). To be honest I don't know what she's done, nothing wrong last week. I went to Device Manager to unsinstall IDT and reboot the machine. After 10mins, bingo. Now she's happy and I'm happy too.
Please go to Device Manager, Sounds ..
Unsitall sound,
Reboot the machine,
Wait for 10 or more minutes.
Note: Your machine must be online.
Hope this helps.

My 2nd Gen Apple TV seems to have just stopped working with Youtube. Is there a particular reason this has happened ? All of the other services work correctly.
Apple already have a position on such matters. If you have a problem with one particular service and not others, contact the provider.
Contact Apple TV content providers - Apple Support
However, 3 similar reports, do not a problem make. Perhaps there is a problem, perhaps there isn't, but it really doesn't seem to affect many people if there is, believe me when there is a problem it's quite obvious from the additional traffic it causes in these communities. It's also not exactly clear that you are all seeing exactly the same thing. -

current log archived
After that I go to archive log directory "/u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs" and use ls -lt command to see how many archive logs and my screen just hang. After we found out that we cannot use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf
archive log, the rest of archive logs able to use ls -lt command.
We cannot delete this file as well. We shutdown database abort and perform check disk...... and fix the disk error and then open database again. Everything seems back to normal and we can use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf.
The strange problem is we have the same problem in Development and Production..... one ore more archive logs seems to be corrupted under the same directories /u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs.
Does anyone encounter the same problem?

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:
The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?
Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to. -
I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?
If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you. -
