Lack of SD card slots what do you think

I don't know about the rest of you, but I like my stuff on an SD card. Not in a cloud. It seems Motorola, Verizon, and android all want you to put your stuff in the cloud. I'm sorry but I like my privacy and I like to access my content even when I have no signal. The cloud is for morons who don't realize their stuff can be hacked. If the Pentagon can be hacked, so can the cloud. Verizon, give us the option. Quit force feeding us stuff that a bunch of techno geeks sitting around and dream up. I have been a loyal customer for years and your trying my patience. I like my Droid Razr MAXX HD. It has served me well for 2 years in some of the worst environments. It has never failed me and I think you hit the nail on the head when you introduced it. But you took a moronic stance and quit offering it. You got it right and then screwed it up. The only complaint I had was all the bloat ware. Give us the choice. We buy the phone, it is ours, we should be the ones to decide what stays and what goes. Not some ***** sitting in marketing. If you want to introduce it, then do so but allow the people the choice of what stays and what goes. It will cost you customers in the future if you don't, including me. Have a nice day!!!!

You ask "what do you think".
I think that your message would/will be better received if you didn't resort to name calling and "colorful" language.
You/we will never win the "argument" over what you term "bloatware". Verizon enters into financial agreements with the providers of that software to be able to install it on the devices. They make a lot of money (presumably) on this, so it is not likely to end.

Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of

Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon" without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
Good Luck

Still in a quandary about hardware specs. What do you think?

I need to build a new system as editing machine for CS4. Everything is more or less clear as to what I need, there are only two issues remaining:
1. How much RAM to install, and
2. Disk setup.
As always there is the balance between performance and costs. Since this is not "an unlimited means available" type of machine, you will not see much esoteric components, like SSD raids or nVidia Quadro CX card. It is a dual E5472 Harpertown system (8 core), running Vista 64 Business.
1. How much RAM would be a good balance in price/performance? 8 or 16 GB? We are talking about Kingston Value Ram DDR2-6400 ECC FBDIMM, either 4 x 2 GB ( 420) or 4 x 4 GB ( 650), with the possibility to double memory in the future. If you do not make a habit of continuously switching between PP, AE, EN, PS etc. and are mainly using only 1 application at the time, I wonder if there is a noticeable performance gain to justify the additional cost. The choice is obvious if the total cost of the machine would not be stretching available means. So what do you think?
2. Main storage is 8 x WD Caviar Black 1 TB disks in raid50 for media, renders, scratch etc. But what about the boot disk? Either a 300 GB WD Velociraptor ( 240), or 4 x WD Scorpio (7200 RPM) 160 GB in raid10 ( 250), using on-board ESB2 chipset.
While we are at it, does it make sense to add 4 x WD Scorpio 250 GB in Raid5 (on an Areca ARC controller with free ports) only for pagefile, projects and temporary export. Final export will be transferred over the network to a burning machine for DVD's. Backups of projects is to external USB disks and on a separate machine over VPN.
The case has room for 8 hot swappable 3.5" disks and 8 hot swappable 2.5" laptop disks plus another disk and a DVD/BR burner internally. There are still 4 external eSATA ports available for future expansion. Foreseen video card is ATI 4870 512MB. Network is currently a 1 Gb connection, but can be enhanced to 2 Gb with 2 NIC's.
Look forward to your reactions.

Bill,
The case is the
Supermicro SC743TQ-865SQ
and the storage bay for the 2.5" disks is the
Addonics AE4RCS25NSA (2.5 Disk Array 4SA)
Thanks for your remark about the difficulty of troubleshooting boot arrays. That might be an advantage for the Velociraptor.
Dag, no. I don't make the mistake of visiting Amsterdam, unless it is absolutely necessary, like visiting the IBC, let alone visiting those bars. I came to realize that Vista has grown up a bit with SP1 and with full support for 64 it now makes a bit more sense than XP64. It does imply a couple of days tweaking Vista (= removing 'features') to make it work decently, but after that is accomplished I will make a slip streamed DVD version for future installs, so that is a one time investment. With recent enhancements in Nullsoft that is easily accomplished, including all intermediate patches and 'Patch Tuesday' versions.

What did you think of iMovie '11?

I am thinking about buying a new mac but I'm only really concerned about the movie making software. I have used iMovie a few years ago and I liked it for the most part but I want some personal feedback on it. What did you think of the new software? What has changed in the last few years? Anything important that I should know?

Hi
If You last used iMovie HD6 then the change is severe - it's a compleately new tool.
If iMovie'08 or 09 the difference is not that great.
Some I listed as
*iMovie 09 (v8) 8.0.6 (jan 2009)*
• Far better than iMovie 08 but still far from good.
• Pic in pic, green screen but basic
• Image stabilization - fairly good for amateur use
• Speed-up/down and reverse
• Bl/W, Old age etc
• Still - No Continous TimeLine
• NO - Possibilities to enhanze by use of thirdpart Plug-ins (all investments lost)
• NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safteybackups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
*iMovie 11 (v9) 9.0.x*
• Will be - Intel Only
• Snow Leopard minimum Mac OS X.6.3
YES
• Advanced view including a true TimeLine ? Yes but rudimentary (very basic)
• True Storyboard - where You even can write and prepare space for lacking material that needs to be obtained or re-shoot. YES
• Better wave-form presentation of audio and audio tools - Rubberband - Yes
• Trailer creating tool
• ”Faces” as in iPhoto - NO - but this finds if there are people in some video-clips
• Better audio tools. Equalizer and a background audio reducer
• More Camera support eg 24fps
NO
• not 64-bit only
• The Playback to Camera via FW - returns ? NO
• Full Quality to iDVD - NO - still only half - every second line
• Plug-in facility ? - NO
• No free text tool
• Tool to mask an identity eg band over face or unsharp area. - NO (could be obtained via Plug-ins in iM HD6 and earlier)
• Animation tool - To point on interesting object/player - NO animations refere to a totally different
thing connected to Storyboard and insert of ”dummy animations” while building a movie

My MacPro syestem setup what do you think?

Two 3.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
8GB (8 x 1GB)
750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB, Stereo 3D (2 x dual-link DVI)
One 16x SuperDrive
Both Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme
30' cinema Display x2
This system anygood you think?
Any pointers on where i should spend money on such as maybe a stronger video card??
or you think
4GB (4 x 1GB) is more than enough?

If the ATI X1900 upgrade can drive two 30" then don't bother with the Quadro. You are not going to be using the specialized features of the quadro card for video editing (i.e. stereoscopic display, higher precision 3d rendering from the drivers). The quadro cards are manufactured at a higher quality standard than the general cards, but unless you are doing dental imaging or oil drilling, you don't need it.
Also, the memory in the Mac Pro works best when you use 4 sticks that are all matched. There's a performance decrease when memory is address further down the chain (which on the memory card risers are the secondary slots). Google to find analysis and discussion of the Mac Pro memory in various configurations. It's hard to say if you would notice this or not, but if I were pushing my system to drive two 30" monitors and running full screen video editing software, I would be looking to minimize any possible bottlenecks. My argument could be completely wrong here if there's higher latency, but increased bandwidth in the 8x1GB config. Research it and decide.
With an appropriate hard drive setup (RAID with block sizes) your proposed system will edit video like a hot knife through butter. These machines are very fast and have an amazing amount of bandwidth on the bus through the processor and memory. Once you get it setup the hardware fades into the background and you don't notice it, because it's so fast it doesn't get in the way of getting work done. Good luck.

What do you think of the new creative cloud cc that was just released?

What do you think of the new creative cloud cc that was just released? I'm using it now and I think it's great. It's cs6 on stereroids lol More new features that people who fully paid for cs6 should of had.
I do wish the cloud standard price changes to 29.99 a month for all users so everyone gets a chance to enjoy the cloud.

I just downloaded CC, and still have all my CS6 apps as backup. Bridge CC (64-bit) is showing the same unacceptable performance I had with CS6 version. Can't believe that Adobe is so inept. I did fix the CS6 version but I forget how I did it. CS6 version of Bridge is near instantaneous. And it's not a matter of building the cache. It takes the program forever just to respond to a simple mouse click in the menu bar.
Photoshop CC crashed my machine, whereas CS6 version runs perfectly. Afraid to download any further apps.
Adobe 11 failed to install because it think's prior version of the that program is still on the computer. I never installed Acrobat 11 on this machine. Just Acrobat 10, which also got the stupid 30-day "refuse to start" bug, so I'm using Acrobat 9.5 which works flawlessly. Funny how the newer the code from Adobe, the worse it gets for its customers.
I'm using Win 7 Pro, 16GB mem, Nvidia 2800M video card on Thinkpad with i7-920XM chip.

What do you think about iPad 3?

iPad 3 is most likely (pretty much certainly) going to be unveiled on March 7, 2012. What do you think iPad 3 will incorporate, based on this photo?

Hmm... maybe Apple put those apps in the picture to fool us, they're really going to withdraw them?
What is most interesting about that pic is the lack of a home button... but I don't think that means anything for this model.

What do you think of applecare on a MBP?

1. What do you think of applecare on a MBP for an extra $309?
2. Do you know if you can buy an apple care plan before your 1 year runs out.

Generally, it makes sense to purchase extended care if you plan on keeping your unit. Just keep in mind that there are certain issues which your Applecare warranty will not cover. Make sure you read and understand those clearly.
The other thing you should know is that you have up to a year to decide whether or not you want it.
You should also check with your credit card company (if you've bought it on a card) if they will extend the warranty on any of your purchases. In some cases they will extend it beyond the existing warranty by one year. But don't expect the same turn around and repair/refund policy you get with Apple -- they'll be a little harder to deal with, but will ultimately stand by their warranty when you hold them to it.

What do you think of my Bash Script? What about the error checking?

Well what do you think of this Bash script
It works
I gave it some problems (i.e. unpluged the ethernet, messed up the URL's, uninstaled some programs...) to see if would report errors and stop or just keep going... But it did
I just kind of thought up a way to do some error checking with the commands that I know.....
What is a better way to do error checking?

Personally..... (this is just how I would have written it - if it works, then it's good enough for me though )
I would change this whole block:
verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != y ]
do
printf "Do you have mbr installed... yes or no?"
read AN1
echo ""
printf "You answered... $AN1 I have installed mbr. Is this correct... y or n?"
read verify
done
echo ""
if [ "$AN1" == "no" ]
then
echo "Install mbr now. Then run this script agin"
exit
else
echo "contunuing script"
fi
To this much shorter code:
MBR='/usr/bin/install-mbr' # Or where ever you expect it to be
if [ ! -x $MBR ] ; then
echo "mbr doesn't appear to be installed."
echo "If it is installed, check it's location, make sure it's executable and then make sure the MBR variable in this script is correct"
exit 1
fi
I wouldn't have used the checkXX variables for each stage:
mkdir ~/usbbiosfiles
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
#failed
echo "Could not \make directory usbbiosfiles"
echo "look above \for \info"
echo "Fix the problem and run this scrip agin"
exit 1
else
echo "Made directory usbbiosfiles... OK"
fi
There is an issue with the way you do your verifications - the user can never get out unless they answer 'y' or hit CTRL+C. Something like this gives them options:
verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != "y" && "$verify" != "n" ]; do
echo "You need to answer 'y'es or 'n'o"
read verify
echo $verify | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" # This converts the answer to lowercase so replies entered in upper case will still work
done
if [ $verify != 'y' ] ; then
exit 1
fi
One last thing I try to do in scripts... Declare all your binaries as variables at the start of the program, then execute the binary program by using the variable. For example:
# Binaries
TAR='/bin/tar'
CP='/bin/cp'
CHMOD='/bin/chmod'
# Execute tar and chmod the created file
$TAR cvzf /tmp/tarfile.tar.gz /etc/*.conf
$CHMOD 400 /etc/*.conf
This way, it's easy to change the path in future without having to hunt through the script if the paths change, and it also ensures you're calling the programs using the full paths to make sure you're not executing some strange variant or alias that someone has setup. If I use `chmod` 30 times in a script, and the path changes in the future or on a different system (`chmod` is a bad example cause it's highly unlikely to change, but you know what I mean), then all you need to do is update the variable at the start of the script, and it all works again without having to script-hunt and change it 30 times.

I accidentally deleted my iPhoto when i empty my trash? i think 1year ago.i want it back but i heard that its difficult...my 2nd option is i'll buy iPhoto from apps. what do you think guys? thank you and god bless!

i accendentaly deleted my iphoto when i empty my trash. i think 1 year ago. i want it back but they say its difficult. now i think i'll buy iphoto to apps. what do you think guys??? ty and god bless!

A bunch of totally different questions
iPhoto is an application and it is in your applications folder - is it there? It must be in teh Applications folder on your boot drive - it can not be on an external drive
The photos are kept in the iPhoto library (by default and highly recommended) - is that what you deleted? It can be anyplace by by default it is in your pictrues folder
Time Machine is a backup program that backuse your your Mac - you do NOT directly access its backup files but you use the Time Machine application to restore files - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for details
Your post is not at all clear as to what you have or what you want to do
If in fact you do have a copy of the photos on an external hard drive as you say you thikyou do them you launch iPhoto and import them to iPhoto (file menu import -- or drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock)
If you have a time machine backup of your iPhoto library and you want to use that then you launch TM and go to the time you wna tto restore from, select the iPhoto library and click restore
If the above does not cover what you have and what you want please post back with exact details of what you have and what you want to do

Best IDE & Platform Configuration? What do you think?

What do you think the best IDE is out there? I want to compile and create applications as well as servlets and beans, but my focus would be on the beans, servlets, jsp, etc, the web stuff. Once I have the IDE for that, what is the best configuration for developing under that environment. For example I would like to use the the JavaMail API as well, and that is available for the J2EE. So I can install both the J2SE and J2EE SDK's right? Should I accept their default installation directories? Is it possible to move files, the .jar files for example over the to a single directory for centralization? Help, trying to get an understaning how to create a nice development environment. Simple, efficient, etc.
Thanks so much!!

I personally think Eclipse is outstanding. I used JBuilder for a while, but it insisted on formatting code the JBuilder way. Eclipse also has refactoring, which is a major bonus. Moving classes is now a few clicks instead of performing a search-replace on all your files. There are UML and dozens of other types of plug-in.
As far as setting-up your environment, I normally duplicate a web application's deployment. So, the external JAR's I need are in WEB-INF/lib. The IDE should take care of classpath issues, if you perform the initial project set-up properly. I would also learn Jakarta's Ant. It makes deployment a lot easier, at the expense of some up-front development.

What do you think of new Cisco NSS 300 Smart Storage?

Did you see the press release of the new Cisco NSS 30 Smart Storage?
http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2010/prod_060910.html
What did you think?
More informaion about the product can be found at http://www.cisco.com/go/smartstorage

I guess no one from Cisco is going to repond to your post Johnny.
I agree with your thoughts, and was excitedly looking forward to Cisco's entry in the small NAS market and rushed out to buy a NSS326 (Equiv to QNAP TS-659) Unit. I already own a QNAP TS-639 older model for 1.5 years and loved it - and expected Cisco just to make this even a better unit. Which in some ways they have (Syslog and Radius features) - although as you've already noticed, elimation of QPKG application support which numbers up to almost 2 dozen applications that are not available on Cisco's version
Unfortunately if you look on eBay, you'll see my NSS326 up for sale.
To address your points (from my point of view)
1) ROCK SOLID: I've found the hardware to be just that (on both units). Built well, and I'm sure will last for years.   As for software stability, - see next
2) FAST FIRMWARE UPDATES: It's for this reason that the unit is up for sale.   V3.0 of the firmware was a major release. And there have been issues - although many/most of them have been addressed with still a few (somewhat serious) issues still lingering.   QNAP seems to be attacking these fairly quickly.   Unfortunately there has been 2 releases from QNAP addressing issues since Cisco's adoption of this unit since v3.2.6.   As you'll see in these posts, Cisco is not following QNAPs releases, and will be releasing their own line of firmware. For me, this is a serious issue - and I wish I knew this before purchasing. I feel Cisco is already 2 releases behind which includes many fixes to their current platform. (Also see QPKG note above - many missing applications)
3) SUPPORT: This is where Cisco excels and always has.   To start 5yr vs 1yr warranty, and of course Cisco TAC is one of the best in the world. In contrast, QNAP's support quite frankly isn't great - although, it's support community for forums are excellent.   Unfortunately I can't speak specifically on NSS support since I haven't called them for this, so I'm speaking more generally.
So it really boils down to whats more important for your situation.
Cheers

Adobe, what do you think about that ?

- one day I was demoing DPS to 35 people in Paris. The whole day the servers were barely accessible. For the reputation and reliability of DPS that was wonderful.
- another day I was doing a little DPS demo for Adobe. Again the same problem.
- another day, the demo was ruined because the servers were so slow.
- this Monday morning, I open my iPad and I can see my latest Folio in ACV.
In the afternoon I join Adobe reps and partners and other VIPs in London for the launch of CS6. There I go with my iPad and what a surprise when I want to show the Folio to an Adobe representative ?
Despite being signed in, all my folios where archived and all in Download state. I could not access a WiFi and even if I could I think that downloading 500 Mb would be impossible.
Many people where asking me :
—"And are you teaching DPS ?"
– I said "Yes, I'm even working on it for real projects."
— "Do you have one to show us ?"
– "No, because Adobe's software, for a reason that I don't understand, deleted all my folios a few moments ago and I would have to redownload them again. ACV sucks".
People to who I have talked to where Adobe people, chiefs of graphic studios (newspaper, agency,...), potential clients for DPS,...
There was even of Adobe person that told me : "We are receiving a lot of complaints about the technical model of DPS, and you're right, it's terrible".
There are so many problems with this app and with the servers.
DPS's reputation will may be better when one day we just play offline with the folios like a PDF in GoodReader for instance.
DPS is exploding my bandwidth.

Peter, that is sad. If a publisher decides to pull the issue from the
server, that's like burning down their own library of things.
Apple wanted adobe to stop downloading such large data into the storage
that will be backed up. So issues now go into the cache, that will not be
uploaded to the Icloud storage.
Because you buy a 64gb iPad, but get only 2Gb of online storage.
