Help needed testing a free "killer application"

Applications which turn your phone into a remote control already exist; but they COST, and they only work on phones with IRDA port.
Maybe no more: it's really probable that ANY cellphone with audio play capability can be used as a remote, just spending 1$ to buy a couple of IR leds!
Take a look at this blog post:
http://jumpjack.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/worlds-cheapest-remote-control-replicator-just-1/
The method described there works fine for me using a PC: I connect one led to audio-in to sample the remote, I edit the waveform, then I play it through a couple of IR leds properly connected to audio-out, and I can control my devices!
There's apparently no reason for which same method can't work with a cellphone's audio-out port:

I'm currently having troubles playing WAV format on my phones: any clue about a free application for s60-2nd for this purpose?
Message Edited by jumpjack on 26-May-2008 12:33 PM

P.S.
if you think being able to control your device using your phone is "just a funny thing"... then try thinking that:
- any s60 phone can be easily programmed in python
- any s60 phone can receive SMS
- 160 GB (or more) Personal Video Recorders are available in the market
- an old s60 model costs around 50$
Sum these all together, and you'll get a ***remotely controllable (by SMS) PVR!!!*** ;-)

Application should not be EndTask / Kill

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to stop EndTask / Kill application from Task Manager?
I need unstoppable execution of application, means user can't end-task application from Task Manager.
Hoping quick & perfect response from maestros.
Thanks & Regards,
Ritesh

This kind of application mainly used in Cyber cafe, where you need to make sure that, No one kills application which used to count download data and anti spy ware applications.
This application is not targeted to developer's machine or Personal Computer.

I attempt to open a second window from the icon but it does not open then when firefox is closed it will not reopen because it is still running in processes but no window displayed until you kill the process and then restart firefox.

I attempted to open a new window from the Firefox icon but nothing happens. I then went on browsing and closed Firefox but was later unable to open it. I checked processes and it was already running but there was no window displayed. I am running Windows 7 Professional.
This is repeated any time I already have the browser open and wish to open a second instance.

'''Open a second window (not a second tab, that is different) when Firefox is already running and displayed on the monitor'''
*Firefox button > New Tab > New Window

Photoshop Killer

So first of all, I know this shouldn't be in the MacBook Pro thread, but I couldn't find a thread that was specific for my problem.
My question is, is there a real Photoshop killer application out there?
I have tried Pixelmator, but I don't like the palette based UI and the autosave feature drives me crazy.
Acorn is too simple and lacks needed features.
Gimp has too many bugs and won't work with Lion.
Seashore lacks needed features.
Photoshop Elements is too simple and again lacks needed features.
Is there an application other than these that will be similar to Photoshop?
I would prefer one that costs less than 100 dollars.
I mainly do graphic design and not photo editing.
Thanks,
NWB1

It depends on what you mean by "similar to Photoshop." Photoshop can do a lot of really obscure but powerful things for specific professional uses (like editing CMYK for press output, handling up to 32 bits per channel for HDR and advanced imaging, or pixel aspect ratio adjustment for broadcast television), and because of those features, there's absolutely nothing similar at under $100.
If you just need a simple pixel editor for graphic design, there are lots of choices, but it seems like you tried the usual list of popular editors and don't like them. I'm not sure what's left under $100. If you are a student, the educational discount on Photoshop is pretty big and is a great way to get it for cheap.

Shutdown Application Gracefully

Hi,
I have multiple threads running in application. Before killing application (forcefully), I want to make sure all threads have executed successfully. Following is the code abstract:
 public class MainClass {
 private static Thread1;
 private static Thread2;
 public static void main(String args[]) {
 thread1 = new Thread1();
 thread2 = new Thread2();
public class Thread1 implements Runnable {
 private ThreadPoolExecutor threadPoolExecutor;
 private final LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable> blockingQueue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>();
 public Thread1() {
 threadPoolExecutor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(10,100, 50000, TimeUnit.SECONDS, blockingQueue);
 Thread thread = new Thread(this);
 thread.start();
 public void run() {
 // some processing...
public class Thread2 implements Runnable {
 private ThreadPoolExecutor threadPoolExecutor;
 private final LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable> blockingQueue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>();
 public Thread2() {
 threadPoolExecutor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(10,100, 50000, TimeUnit.SECONDS, blockingQueue);
 Thread thread = new Thread(this);
 thread.start();
 public void run() {
 // some processing...
}Requirement is that all executing threads must be able to finish their task before the MainClass is stopped. Any help, with appropriate example, would be appreciated.
PS: I'm using Springframework too.

Dear TechSawi,
I am still a concurrency student and not an expert, but perhaps this could help.
In Java 5 there are some new components/tools for concurrency that seem very usefull. One of those is a CyclicBarrier. A CyclicBarrier lets you run an amounts of threads and the barrier has a blocking thread as well. The blocking thread is only executed when all the other threads are finished.
I have almost no experience with this object, but perhaps if you lookup how it works it might be of help. I have no idea if it will be usefull at all...
salutations,
Nicholas

When I exit firefox it closes the program but it gets stuck in memory so when I open it again i have to kill the process in task manager

When I exit firefox it closes the program but it gets stuck in memory so when I open it again i have to kill the process in task manager, and it can be right away or I can come back a few hours later and its still stuck in task manager, I am tired of having to kill the processes every time I use firefox.

Continuous Server Applications - Possible?

Ok, I'm a long-time user of Flash and Actionscripting, but
totally new to SSAS.
I'm creating (or trying to) a multi-user, persistant world,
Flash-Based game.
So far, all the examples I've seen of SSAS start the script
when someone connects/requests it and closes directly after all
users are disconnected.
Is there a way to create a server app that would run and
continue running regardless of current connections, or lack
thereof?

Hello :)
if you don't use the Macromedia framework... all it's
possible for me :)
1 - open a new folder application : applications/test/
2 - create a new main.asc
3 - write in this file :
repeat = function ()
trace("go : " + new Date()) ;
var id /*Number*/ = setInterval( repeat , 1000 ) ;
4 - save your file
5 - lauch the FMS console
6 - open your "Server Live Log"
7 - launch you application
8 - wait and see the trace message.
9 - close your console
10 - restart you console.. the setInterval continue to
incremente your
trace :)
MM Framework encapsulate the core's object in SSAS framework.
But you
can use the core's object and create your continuous
application framework.
I have write a first alpha SSAS version of my OpenSource
framework "VEGAS" :
>
http://osflash.org/vegas
>
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/
(second server)
The SSAS version implement lot of methods and class to help
you if you
want : FrontController, Design Pattern(MVC), Event Model W3C
DOM2/3,
Gateway with client, Log tools, a new Application
implementation in
asgard.server.* package, etc... all my code use polymorphisme
with AS3
framework.
For your application you can use my vegas.util.Timer class :
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/SSAS/trunk/src/src/vegas/util/Timer.asc
To use my framework :
1 - use SVN (subversion) client like TortoiseSVN or RapidSVN
to installe
the SVN in your hard disk.
2 - copy all the SSAS/trunk/src files in your FMS application
folder.
3 - in your main.asc
// ----o include VEGAS
load("src/vegas.asc") ;
// ---- Unit Test
// load("unittests/Application.asc") ; // units tests
// --- imports
Delegate = vegas.events.Delegate ;
Timer = vegas.util.Timer ;
var onDebug = function ( e )
trace("> " + e.getType()) ;
var timer = new Timer(1000, 4) ;
timer.addGlobalEventListener( new Delegate(this, onDebug) ) ;
trace("> " + timer) ;
timer.start() ;
EKA+ :)

I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing in English

I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles. 
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Application Installer doesn't work on E50

Hello Everyone,
I installed the latest version of Nokia PC Suite recently on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine. Before that I had some older version (I think it was 6.something) of PC Suite and everything worked fine with that version - I was able to connect phone with PC and to use all the features of PCS.
With the latest version of PC Suite some of the features do not work anymore. I can use File Explorer feature but can not use Application Installer. When I choose Application Installer from PCSuite it shows splash screen and hangs (if I try to move that splash screen I get "No Response..." message in title and later it is totally frozen). I tried to leave it that way to check if it will eventually continue working but I had no luck. At the end I need to go to task manager and to kill Application Installer's process.
I can not find any exceptions/messages in Application Events list or any other log file.
I found a workaround and that is to copy SIS file to a location on phone that I can access with File Explorer on the phone and to start installation from the phone.
Is there anyone who knows what could be the reason for Application Installer to hang?
Cheers,
Sasa

I did all things you said, but it still does not work.
The error message is still the same: "Pc Suite does not support with the connected phone".
If I open the settings and select the 6500c (where you can change the destination of files), I couldn't change the directory of applications because it's folder icon is inactive(grey).
Any other idea how can I fix it?

It doesn't open new tabs or windows when I click on then. it gives a problem loading page quite a bit, what's wrong?

When i open it it takes a long time to open, when I go to mail, or other places. it opens a Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
All this when I click on a button or do a search in Fire Fox.
It seems like I have to play with it to open anything.
I went back to the normal Fire Fox and it's still happening.
I sometimes have to restart my computer to get the buttons in the mail to show up or Face Book to work right.

How do I make sure that all Firefox sessions are closed so I can download 6.0? Keep getting a dialogue box saying that only 1 can be open at a time. Only 1 IS open, and I need this update to meet a system requirement for an online class.

Not sure what I can add to that. I actually shut down my Mac to make sure no sessions were open before I tried again. Help.

Must be the "hang at exit" problem.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation software, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as "an industry standard for graphics professionals" and was one of the early "killer applications" on the PC.
Adobe's 2005 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the 11th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is included in most of Adobe's Creative Suite offerings.
Photoshop's popularity, combined with its high retail price, makes Photoshop's piracy rate relatively high.Adobe countered by including SafeCast DRM starting with Adobe Photoshop CS.

Thank you. It's kind of like posting "The sky is blue."
I was impressed with the fancy red text though!
Oh, look, something shiny.

A msg appears that Firefox is still operating and to close it. However it is not operating. What can I do? It does not show up on the Task Mgr window.

I had a crash of Firefox and since then I can not open it again. The msg appears that Firefox is already in use; however, I deleted Firefox from my system and tried to download a new version to no avail. I can not install the new version because I get a msg that Firefox is still running. I am using E IE for now and this is causing some problems. I would like to use Firefox but am not certain how to rectify this problem. Reboot did not solve the problem.

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.
