Is there any way to limit usage on certain jetpacks?

Hi~
I have a shared everything plan 40GB.  I live in the middle of nowhere.  I homeschool and need to do a lot online. Area monopolized by satellite which is an awful but necessary evil.  When it rains, forget TV or internet.  They do still offer dialup.  Ha!  Anyway, so I chose this plan and it has been "okay".  The signal is spotty and the 4G I was told I would get is hardly what I get on my phone when I am in the main cities.  Still, we make do. 
Here is my current dilemma.  My elderly mother in law is staying with us for... a while.  She is not a pro, but she can certainly get online.  Of course, I have passwords (of my own making).  My kid put a password on her laptop when she said she needed to check email.  Well, it turns out that granny likes to play online games.  The ones that stream.  She sucked up all 40 GB in a few short days.  Uploads, downloads, you name it.  She has been told time and again that the usage was OVER.  That she had to wait for it to roll over.  She was still going online.  I was in a panic with the emails about overages, etc.  I had to disconnect the boxes and take out the batteries, just to be sure.
I do know that the boxes can be configured to only work with the mac addresses you designate.  That's great.  I did that with the first one, but not yet with the newer one, b/c it was only my husband, myself and kids-we are all VERY clear on usage.  So, yeah..the one she has been using is the newer one b/c we trusted she would listen to what we told her.
My question is this:  Is there any way that I can create a dedicated user "account & password" to her and then limit THAT usage?  I know something kind of like this can be done for kids phones, but no clue about boxes.  I really don't want to have to block her, but I cannot afford to sacrifice my kids education b/c she wants to play games.  My spouse will never deny his mom anything, but he gets mad when told the usage is gone after a week.  My usage is about to roll over again and I NEED it. 
I asked a rep on "live chat" & they couldn't help-told me to call.  I will call, but prefer to do it during the week, when no one will "overhear" and get offended.  Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance'

    Windchimes74, oh wow! That is a lot of usage in a short amount of time. We do have a great application called Family Base. You can restrict the amount of time/amount of usage that a particular device can be used. By doing this you can put a limit when Mom is online. Once the jetpack reaches that limit it will not allowed to be downloading anything else. This package is $5 a month for the whole account. It is an awesome feature that I myself use for many lines on my account.

  • Is there any way to limit purchases on my iPad

    Hello world
    MY question is simple: Is there any way to limit ALL purhases (not only in-app purchases) on my iPad.
    I've tried to assign a debit card with a small amount of money but it did not help. I'm still able to make purchases, their cost is in "pending" state(a red sum in iTunes with info that my card could not been authorized) and thay will be debited from the account as soon as i refill my account

    Remov the card details and credit your account with a small amount by means of an iTunes gift card.

  • *Is there any way to limit the Chart Bar size dynamically?*

    Hi
    I have selected the Marker size as Medium for my Bar chart.
    Bar chart bar showing too big when there is only one bar.
    Is there any way to limit the bar size dynamically?
    Thank you

    hi Ruwan,
    Don is correct in that there is no option in the chart design component to do this.
    what you can do though (i know it is a pain) is to
    1) create a new chart in a new section with a narrower bar using the chart options dialogue
    2) create a conditional suppression formula for the new section and the old chart section based on the value returned in the Show Value for the chart
    i have created a request for a charting overhaul [here |https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports;jsessionid=B3E2E9F6A6CC9C9F5321659382A91855.node0]in the ideas place which includes a solution for this particular issue. please feel free to give it the thumbs up if you think that this is a worthwhile idea.

  • Is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)

    Hello all,
    is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)?
    how to ensure that only 100 Threads are running in an Application?
    Thanks
    Mohamed Javeed

    You should definitely use a thread pool for this. You can specify maximum number of threads that can be run. Be note that the thread pool will only limit the number of threads that are submitted to it. So donot call "Thread"s start() method to start thread on your own. Submit it to the pool. To know more, study about executor service and thread pool creation. Actually it will not be more than 20 line code for a class and you might need maximum of 2 such classes, one for threadPool and other one for rejection handler (if you want).
    Just choose the queue used carefully, you just have to pass it as a parameter to the pool.
    You should use "Bounded" queue for limiting threads, but also be careful in using queues like SynchronizedQueue as the queue will execute immediately the threads submitted to it if maximum number of threads have not been running. Otherwise it will reject it and you should use rejection handler. So if your pool has a synchronized queue of size 100, if you submit 101th thread, it will be rejected and is not executed.
    If you want some kind of waiting mechanism, use something like LinkedBlockingQueue. What this will do is even if you want 100 threads, you can specify the queue's size to be 1000, so that you can submit 1000 threads, only 100 will run at a time and the remaining will wait in the queue. They will be executed when each thread already executing will complete. Rejection occurs only when the queue oveflows.

  • Is there any way to limit the number of RFC calls from xMII to SAP R/3

    Hi All!
    I wanted to know whether the number of simultaneous RFC connections made from xMII to SAP R/3 system can be controlled in any way. Suppose we have a scenario wherein some million Sales Orders or Production Orders are to be updated in SAP R/3 from xMII in a short span of time. For all these updations to take place, multiple RFC calls will be established from xMII to SAP at the same time. This will increase the load on the SAP R/3 system and affect performance of the SAP R/3 system. Is there any check on xMII side to limit the number of RFC calls that can be made to SAP R/3 system?
    Regards
    Anupam

    Anupam,
    If you are using 11.5 just keep in mind that the JCO connection points to a single application server (based upon the SAP Server alias connection settings), but the traffic itself to make a BAPI request is effectively the same as any client user traffic.  There will obviously be limitations on performance and throughput, with network and server constraints added to the number and size of the R/3 requests, but there is no magic formula to plug-in because of all of these variables.
    If you are using 12.0 (or plan to migrate when it goes GA) then taking advantage of the JRA (java resource adapter) and the associated application server pooling that it offers on the NetWeaver side of things will greatly help you in the throughput capacity.
    If you have put some of your xMII application into either test or productive use and are running into issues then I would highly recommend entering the specifics into the customer / partner support portal so that they can help you through any associated problems.
    Regards,

  • Is there any way to limit the number of times that a PDF can be opened?

    I run a small publishing company and we want to provide exam copies of our books to professors.  At present our exam copies have the words EXAM COPY as a water mark on every page and we've also made the files so that they can't be printed or easily copied.  However, we'd like to also restrict these PDFs so that they can only be opened 5 times.  I've read about FileOpen but that approach seems a bit more complex than needed.  Is there any other way to restrict the number of times that a PDF file can be opened once it is downloaded?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    DRM soltions like FileOpen are your best bet for PDFs. Others include Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Managment, LockLizard, Armjisoft PDF Security OwnerGuard, etc.
    They all work and are priced differently, but there's really nothing for what you want to do that is both simpler and secure.

  • Is there any way to limit search hits to only the topics found in the TOC?

    Hi. I'm interested in creating multiple TOCs for a project. Included will be TOCs that only have a subset of the project topics and books. Is there a way to restrict searching to only those topics and books that occur in the TOC?
    Thx.
    -kt

    Hi there
    There are a couple of ways to accomplish this goal.
    The long way around is to select all the topics that are not in the TOC and look at their properties. On the General tab is an option to exclude the topic from any content being found in the search.
    Note that with this method, the topic won't be found even if another topic links to it.
    The other way is to look at the Single Source Layout options. For WebHelp, it will be found by first clicking to expand the Content Categories area, then clicking to select the category. Once you do this, there should be an option to "Exclude Unreferenced Topics from Output".
    Note that using this method, if another topic links to the unwanted topic, it has then been referenced and will still be found via search.
    Hope this helps... Rick

  • Creating an index in InDesign CS3 - is there any way to limit where and for what it looks?

    I'm creating an index for a 300-page book using InDesign CS3 on both a PC with Windows XP home and a MacPro with OS X Leopard (I take this book back and forth between these two computers). I have created this as a book (.indb) file so I can use the Index panel with the book option checked to include all of the book chapters.
    There are two things I was wondering how to do, if they can be done at all.
    1 - I want the index to look for entries in the main pages only, not in the master pages.
    2 - I'd like to be able to do only attributed text. For example, I'd like the index to find only the word people when it is bold and italic, and not all of the other places it may occur. Can I do this with a style also, paragraph and/or character?
    Thanks so much,
    Marcy

    Read http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS8721440D-5F68-4fd6-8115-CA3BEDACF001a.html (the online Help on indexes) -- it will probably answer a few questions.
    One I do know immediately is your question on "picking up" stuff from master pages and only with formatting. InDesign does not make an index for you -- you have to (oh! manual labor!) mark the words that should appear in the index yourself. So just don't mark them on master pages, or when not bold and/or italic. You might be wondering about that little button "Mark all instances", well, it does what it say, and in your case you do not want to mark all instances.
    The Capitalization issue is, AFAICR, somewhere in the Help; and so is your singular/plural stuff. The latter one is easy solved: if you mark a word to be indexed, ID asks you in a friendly dialog how it should be included, and that defaults to the current selected phrase, but you are free to edit the text in that dialog. ID does not mark the word or phrase; it inserts an invisible marker inside the to-be-indexed word that contains all information you enter in the Add Index Entry dialog, and it uses that to determine what page number to add. (That invisible marker is visible with "Show Invisible Characters", and can be cut, pasted and deleted at will -- so to remove a water melon, find the marker, and delete it.)

  • Is there any way to allow calls from certain people to ring with your phone on silent?

    I would like to be able to put my phone one silent, for instance at night when I'm sleeping, but to be able to allow certain people's calls to "override" silent mode. For example, my boyfriend and family know when I go to sleep, so they wouldn't call or text in the middle of the night unless it was an emergency. Other people, however find it amusing to send random text messages in the middle of the night that wake me up. I don't want to miss an emergency call, however, so it's not as simple as just putting my phone on silent. Any ideas?

    As David said; record a sound where there is no sound and make this a mp3 file and trasfer it to ur iphone and follow the steps below to make silent ringtone.
        1.    Start iTunes and find the song you want to convert. (It must be an MP3.)
        2.    Right-click the song and choose Get Info.
        3.    Click the Options tab.
        4.    Check the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone). I used 0:00 and 0:30, respectively, as "Spit It Out" has a perfect ascending lead-in.
        5.    Click OK, then right-click the song again and choose Create AAC Version. You should immediately see a new 30-second version of the song.
        6.    Drag that version out of iTunes and into the folder of your choice.
        7.    Delete the 30-second version from iTunes and undo the Start Time/Stop Time changes to the original.
        8.    Open the folder containing the 30-second AAC file you dragged out of iTunes, then change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. Double-click it and it immediately gets added to iTunes' ringtone library.
        9.    Finally, sync your iPhone. When it's done, you can head into the settings and select your new ringtone.

  • Is there any way to password protect a project in aperture 3?

    I have certain projects that I don't want viewable by others that may use my computer.  Is there any way to password protect a certain project or album to restrict access?

    No. You can hide images using the "reject" rating, and you can password protect a Library by putting it on a password-protected sparsebundle.
    A good answer
    A search of this Discussion forum.
    OS X has fast-user switching and a built-in Guest account.  I never allow anyone access to my account.
    To limit a client's view to just his/her Projects, use Aperture's "Favorites" function.  A forum regular -- Shutters33d, iirc -- posted this excellent suggestion just a couple of days ago.
