Learn from my mistake!

iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
In a prior post I lamented about not finding my photo files in my Maxtor External Hard Drive after my iBook crashed. The end result was that most of my photos came back to iPhoto in only thumbnail format. The "film roll" names existed without the contents. The strange thing was that certain rolls were not affected...
Due to a very helpful man at the Apple Store Genius Bar I finally know the cause of my trouble.
SO DON'T DO THIS:
Partway through my photo library I got in the habit of naming my rolls (when importing pictures off my digital camera) in this format: 4/23/06 Ski Mt Baker
I found out that using the forward slash is a big no-no. Maybe this is obvious to some but not to me!!
Sure enough, when I reviewed which files were successfully backed up on my external hard drive and which were not, it was directly related to this naming structure. So I have since stopped using the forward slash in any dates.
There are other characters you need to avoid using as well.

Wickstad:
How is the Maxor Drive formatted. I use the forward slash all the time for naming rolls and haven't had any problem with copying or backing up those folders or files. I also name the files that way.
If the Maxor isn't formatted for Mac OS X Extended then that may be the cause.

Cosigning Student Loans - Learn From My Mistakes - Please Read

I have gone through a nightmare due to a student loan that I co-signed on, and I am creating this post in the hopes that you will learn from my mistakes. Please pass this post on to anyone who you think would benefit, and hopefully save them a lot of heartache and anxiety. My post is lengthy, but please be patient and read it, it could literally save your financial life.Briefly here is my situation: I am the co-signer on a $60K Sallie Mae private student loan where the primary borrower has defaulted on me, meaning they have told me they cannot pay a dime, have no intention of changing their lifestyle to do so, and will not tell me when, if ever, they will make good on this. Meanwhile, as the guarantor of the loan, I have been subjected to the full force of SM collection agency practices, and forced to face the music while the primary person on this loan can blissfully ignore the situation as if it was not happening. After multiple weeks of heartache, anxiety and worry over my financial future, I found in the fine print that if I make 24 consecutive on-time payments, then I am off the hook. I verified this with SM and am now 6 months into paying this off. As long as nothing unexpected occurs, I am looking forward to being off the hook in 18 months, having learned an expensive but not life altering lesson, as I was originally facing. Now let me go into some lessons, please pass these on to anyone you think would benefit - let's make this post the most widely read one on FICO forums, this is so important. And now my hard lessons learned:Lesson #1: DO NOT COSIGN A STUDENT LOAN: especially private student loans which carry higher interest rates. When you cosign a loan, you are the guarantor: you are putting your good credit profile on the line and telling the loan agency that you are responsible if anything ever happens with the primary borrower and they are unable to pay. All the obligations are on your shoulders, in fact, in many ways you are more responsible than the primary borrower, and this is how the loan and collection agencies will treat you. If you think: that's just the fine print, that will never happen, think again. It happens all the time, are you willing and able to take on this burden if you have to? Possibilities become reality, and this is a reality you do not want to be a part of, trust me on this. If you want to help someone, find other ways to do it outside of the system. Loan them the money as an individual, or pay their rent or expenses, that way, if problems arise, you don't have to get credit agencies, loan agencies, and collections agencies involved. If you are a parent and want to help your child, see Lesson #2.Lesson #2: LOAN ONLY WHAT YOU CAN LOSE: Every rule has exceptions, so the exception to Lesson #1 is this: only cosign on a loan if you are absolutely willing and able to pay off the full loan obligation. When you cosign you are lending your good name and credit profile, and you are effectively loaning money that you will have to pay back if the primary borrower defaults. In other words, never loan more than you are willing to lose, and therefore never cosign for more than you are willing to lose. And be willing to accept that the fact that your relationship with the primary borrower may be permanently damaged if you are forced to step in and cover their obligations.Lesson #3: LOANS GROW: I cannot emphasize this point enough, it really burned me: I did not co-sign a loan for 60K, I co-signed for 45K, and without my knowledge the primary borrower capitalized the interest during the first 18 months of the loan, which they were allowed to do, but it caused the loan to grow by 33%. So when it came time to guarantee the loan, I was on the hook for 60K, which I had never originally agreed to.Lesson #4: SALLIE MAE DOES NOT CARE: And why should they? This is business. As co-signer, you are the guarantor of the loan, you have to make good on the obligation when the primary borrower defaults. In fact, as guarantor, the loan and collection agencies will go after you harder than the primary borrower. Do you have a good credit and collateral, such as a house? Well this binds your obligation even more tightly. When loan and collections agencies see that you have the wherewithal to pay, they will not let you off the hook. And they don't care if paying off their loan puts you on the street. This is business and you have to pay up. Understand this black and white reality before you co-sign a loan. Lesson #5: DON’T DELAY PAYMENTS: Forbearance and deferments are often mentioned as options for helping out on loan obligations, but do not fall into this trap: they make a bad loan situation worse, they don't help. Deferment does not prevent interest from accumulating: you'll just have a bigger loan to pay when the deferment ends. Student loans typically give you a deferment grace period, usually 6 months, before you have to start paying back the loan. Most of us have to use this initial grace period, but please avoid it if you can, it just makes your loan grow larger. Forbearance is another method of delay, but it requires you to make the loan current before the loan agency can talk to you. In other words, you have to be paid up on what you currently owe before the loan agency will talk to you about forbearance. Think about this Catch-22: you can't pay your current loan obligations, so you ask the loan agency for help. The loan agency won't talk to you until you make the loan current. Never use deferment or forbearance, they make your bad situation worse. Lesson #6: NO LEGAL RECOURSE: Student loan debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy court proceedings, it is debt that you will carry for life until it is paid off, regardless of what happens to you. And don't assume that the loan agency will only take legal action against the primary borrower in a default situation: they will also take legal action against you. Remember, you are equally responsible, you will be held legally accountable. And don't think that you can sue the primary borrower. You can only sue them if you have a separate promissory note with them, signed and notarized, that they have defaulted on. And even if you do, it is expensive and time-consuming to sue someone, especially if they have moved out-of-state, and practically impossible if they have moved out-of-country. You could probably never come out ahead, unless the amount owed was so large as to make it worth it. Unless you are wealthy, or a big organization, do not rely on your option to take legal action in the future, it's often just not practical. Lesson #7: WOULD I DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON?: When you co-sign for a family member, there is a certain level of built in trust in the relationship, but when you co-sign for a friend, or girlfriend, or boyfriend, you are putting your faith in the future: faith that they will be around in the future and that they will always have your best interests at heart. Please wake up. People take advantage of other people all the time. Especially when it comes to money, people get scared and choose to hide under a rock, disappear, ignore the problem as if it does not exist. If you are the co-signer, you are the guarantor. If the primary borrower understands this, then they can choose to disappear and leave you holding the bag. Do not assume that the person who cares for you now will always care what happens to you. Business is business, personal is personal. When you are asked to co-sign for a loved one, ask yourself first: do I want to go into business with this person? How do they resolve conflict? If they get into trouble one day will they work with me? Or will they disappear on me? Do they have a conscience, and will they care how this affects me? Or will they see an opportunity to be off the hook? Ask yourself these hard questions. And don’t assume that they will think as responsibly as you. Don’t assume that they care what happens to their credit score, or what this means for the future. Treat the primary borrower as a person you are doing business with, and therefore someone who you need to rely on when times get tough. Chances are, you are the more responsible person here, so ask yourself, can I really afford to go into business with this person?Lesson #8: PROTECT YOURSELF: If your credit score gets damaged over a bad loan, your total financial life will be affected for a long time. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are, it doesn't matter why you got into a financial bind, it doesn't matter that your family member was sick, or that you were going through a hard time, or that you are low on money because you gave it all to charity. The current system of credit scoring requires you to keep your total financial profile in a healthy state at all times. If you are delinquent on payments, or worse, default on loan obligations, then your credit will suffer and you will be affected for a long time. You will be unable to qualify for loans, you will be unable to get good interest loans. Think about the effect this will have on your family in the future: not being able to afford a house for them because you can't get a loan, because you made a good faith error several years before. That's the reality you have to avoid, so protect yourself at all times.Lesson #9: AND FINALLY: Some people reading this will feel that I am missing the point: that of course loans carry obligations, and of course there are consequences if loan payments are missed. For the record, I relied on Sallie Mae loans to get me through college and grad school. I made all my payments on time, I paid my loans off, I even used the available 6 month deferment. But this only worked because I was responsible, because I had a plan, because I understood my monthly and total financial obligations at all times, and never made a life decision that would compromise my ability to pay. Cold reality: many people in this world are not responsible, they don't think through the consequences of their decisions, they are unable or unwilling to look at the hard facts. When you co-sign with one of these individuals, as I did, you are tethering your good name and your financial future to them. If they fail in their responsibility, they will take you down with them. Do not let this happen, protect yourself, you have worked too hard in your life to let an irresponsible person take you down. I hope you have found this posting useful. Please pass it on so that everyone can learn from my mistakes and hard-earned lessons.

My heart goes out to you. My stomach was in knots for you just reading about your situation. Thanks for the lessons learned. I co-signed a private education loan with my ex husband. I wish I had someone like you back then to sit me down and make me really think. Unfortunately, I was young and naive and never thought twice about co-signing. Even though the original loan amount was small by most standards (less than $8000), here it is 10 years later and that stinking loan is still attached to my credit rating. It's barely halfway paid off with another 10 years to go. The ex is a bit of a deadbeat so after some late payments a few years ago, he has since only made the minimum payments. At this rate, I will be ready to retire when that stupid thing is paid and off my reports. I am very conscientious about my own financial health and have less than $1000 on a credit card, a little of my own student loans, and a reasonable mortgage. BUT because I am forever listed as co-signer of this silly loan, it actually drags down my FICO rating. I could suck it up and pay off the whole balance myself in a few months time....which causes me to feel sick to my stomach. Its my only option besides watching this thing languish for 10 more years.

Canon Boo Boo - learn from my mistake!

This is my first post and I'm typing it with my head hung low!
I did a lot of research and eventually found the Canon HF 200 as an ideal camera for my use. I did a lot of searches to find that many people were connecting it to iMovie and also FCE.
Only, it appears after speaking to Apple today there is a tiny little difference between the NTSC and PAL versions on the HF 200 and that's that ours over here in the UK is FORMALLY referred to (in little letters under the camera) as the HF 200 e. Notice that tiny little e? In the USA and Americas it's referred to simply as the HF 200 (no e). But GENERICALLY, in forums and in discussion, they are both referred to as the HF 200. The 'e' is really a technicality for Canon.
So I've bought a £600 camera which I can use... but can't do anything with the footage.... having also just bought FCE. The hassle of selling it and now having to do research again to find a compatible one is annoying and stressful. Hopefully you'll be able to learn from my mistake and save yourself some money.

what let's you think so?
• your Mac and any software accepts both standards.
• AppleTV accepts both standards.
• iDVD accepts both standards, and allows to 'switch' between both standards (=creating a PAL-disk from NTSC-content and vice versa).
• any DVDplayer (soft- or hardware) accepts both standards.
• and most (>90%) European TVs accept NTSC-content on PAL-screens (from NTSC-sources, as videoDVDs) ..
so, your problem is.. ?

I'm a new java learner from china,how should I start my journey?

I have never learned java before,how should I start it? Dose it hard to learn?
At the beginning,which part of it should I learn?
Thank you !

Advice:
1. Learn the basics with simple command line applications first. Don't worry about complicated topics like Swing, databases, Web applications, etc. for at six months
2. After you learn how to write, compile & run programs with just a text editor & Java compiler, download & learn to use an Integrated Development Environment, such as Eclipse. Especially, learn how to use the debugger that comes with the IDE.
3. Experiment with lots of small programs & examples. Learn by doing (and by making mistakes).

4 computers in less than 4 years. What can I learn from this?

I've had four MacBook Pros in the past 3.5 years.
The first one had a bad motherboard and in the end, the computer was just replaced. I had it for less than a year when that happned, and the computer they replaced it with (#2) lasted two years.
One month after the warranty ran out, it quit working and it needed a new motherboard. I bought a new computer (computer #3 at this point). That one worked for 3 months before I had to take it in. They replaced the motherboard.
On Monday, computer number 3 quit working.(It was the second time I had to take it in. The first time they replaced the motherboard after it was three months old. Turns out, that didn't actually fix the issue and I had to erase everything and re-install the operating system). I took it in this time and they replaced the hard drive. That didn't fix the problem. So they replaced the RAM. That didn't fix the problem. I was just told on the phone that they would need to replace the computer because they have no idea what is wrong with it. I've had it since August. That one didn't last long.
So now I'm on machine number 4 in less than 4 years. This is extremely frustrating, considering the time and revenue lost, as I need a computer every day to get my work done. I've lost money and clients. Every time I take these computers in, it's at least of week of sorting everything out. I should say that I am so careful with these computers. I keep them very clean and keep them in a protected case whenver I move them.
Now, I like to look on the bride side of things. But I can not see a bright side to this.
So I have two questions. What lesson should I learn from having to replace three MacBook Pro computers in such a short amount of time? And the second question, is there some customer support department that hear about this?

Hi slimpiggy,
Sorry to hear of your frustration. Regrettably, your experience is far from the norm but it's definitely not an unheard of story. A family friend experienced a similar issue with her Dell XPS machine (5 units in 33 months). Sometimes it's just a chain reaction of bad luck.
Out of curiosity, if your computer is such a key component to your income and financial success then why do you have only one? I've worked in a position that has required constant contact to network services and resources and as such one of the first purchases I made was a secondary computer. It was nowhere near as nice as my main unit but it give me a buffer incase there was a situation that my primary machine was unavailable, lost, damaged or required service.
As far as the lesson, there is none. Misdiagnosed machines or slow turn around times on repairs are never fun but there's not much you can do. Apple does have a department, called Customer Relations that you can speak to regarding your experience. Their number is (or at least was this the last time I called) 800-767-2775.
Good luck!

CRS, IOS-XR: local IGP route not installed in BGP table when learned from RR

Hello,
We use CRS routers in our IGP/BGP network core, some of which are acting as BGP originators and reflectors (RRs) for IPv4 unicast. We also use CRS routers as Internet PEs. The problem we have is between those PEs and the core routers.
Premise: each Internet PE is terminating customer cisrcuits and injects those downstream routes in IGP (via redistributing static, or just learned via IGP from a downstream router). The core (P) routers then learn those routes from the PE via the IGP. Two of the P-routers act as BGP originators and install the necessary routes in BGP using the network statement. These routes are mostly supernets (i.e. summarized), but some coincide with IGP routes, as learned from the PEs. The P-routers acting as RRs then reflect all iBGP routes to all IPv4 unicast BGP speakers in the network, including the Internet PEs (we also have BGP peers on those PEs, which is why this is necessary).
Problem: if a specific downstream route, learned on an Internet PE via IGP (i.e. from downstream), is then received by that PE from an RR via iBGP (i.e. from upstream), the route is not installed in the BGP table (the output of the show bgp x.x.x.x/xx command is: Network not in table)
Question: does anyone know why this is happening? This is concictent on all of our CRS PEs. As far as I am aware there is no BGP rule that would explain this behavior. We don't expect the PE to prefer the iBGP route over the IGP route, but that should not prevent it from learning it and installing it in the BGP table... The only discrepancy I could think of is that the IGP route has a next-hop pointing downstream, whereas the the same route, learned over iBGP has a next-hop pointing upstream. Then again,this shouldn't prevent the route to appear in the BGP table....
Your help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi !
If I am understandung you correctly then Split Horizon is the keyword
Because if the route is learned from downstream BGP drops any same path information learned from upstream
SPLIT-HORIZON only applies to distance-vector routing protocols. In case of BGP, it simply means that a prefix learned via a peer is not advertised back to that peer.
Split horizon will simply block out routes with the same neighbor as the next-hop for the router

Example java programs to learn from?

Hi. I just finished the Head First Book and I am about to start on the 1.5 certification book. In the mean time, I was wondering what open source projects might be good for me to download and start reading the code for? I thought it might be a good idea to download one and go through the code, marking it up with what I think it is doing and looking up things I don't understand. Any pointers to good software to do that on, would be great!
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Mark

hey eko291!
I found that the easiest way to learn java was to do something with it. I set up a sourceforge site, and set about making widgets for swing that were non standard in java but found in other languages/operating systems. Looking at code to learn is a two-edged sword. On the one hand it can be great for ideas, but on the other, some people really write cruddy obfuscated code that is a nightmare to follow, let alone learn from.
Write some of your own stuff first to get really familiar with it. If you get stuck, look at some examples from Java Almanac (blood good site that one). Look for some examples from O'Reilly books etc.
I wrote some code to help me learn java. While looking at it to learn Java is not something I would recommend, you may find getting ideas from it to help out with your own projects is something useful.
Feel free. www.sf.net/projects/avianfs
Also, I got a lot of good ideas from a particular guy's blog. Romain Guy. He posts up some really super code for people interested in UI design. Looking through his code, you will be amazed at some of the things you can do with Java. You will get heaps of ideas from there.
hope that helps!

[Newbie] Where are good example beans to learn from?

I have been a professional software developer for 30 years (yes, I
started using card punches and paper tape...), and have developed 3
commercial Java/Swing desktop apps in the past 4 years. However, all my
experience has been desktop apps. I'm now trying to teach myself JSP
(starting to get a handle on that) and EJB (just starting literally
today).
Oh yes, doing this on my own nickel at home, so I can't afford Weblogic
yet... I have JBoss/Cataline and MySQL running on my home Mac OSX
system.
What are some good sites where I can find good example bean code to
read/modify/learn from?
I am particularly interested at this point in database access beans.
Something I could use as a template to develop a Customer, Invoice,
Product bean (for an app I am writing to teach myself all this stuff).
PS: If you know someone that needs a good C/C++/Java-Swing programmer,
send them to my resume at:
http://www.mindstorm-inc.com/software.html
I'm between contracts (hence the time to learn this stuff).

Hi Burt.
BEA WLS does have some good EJB examples you might be interested.
After you install WebLogic Server or Platform 7.0, you will find a directories
in <weblogic700>\samples\server\src\examples, ejb11 and ejb20 ( The naming convention
basically means EJB examples compliant with EJB Spec 1.1 or 2.0 ).
In particular for EJBs intensively doing Database work, you probably want to go
through container managed and bean managed EJB examples in each of ejb11 and ejb20
directories correspondingly. In each of the examples, there is a package-summary.html
page provides you the example details.
Hopefully, above helps.
Thanks.

Learning from the beginning, where to start?, Any Tips?

Good morning all, I am an Information Analyst for a large organisation, and we are currently in the process of moving our reporting from MS Access based to SQL and BI based reporting. Using SQL Management Studio 2008 R2. Obviously this is a tough cookie
to learn and something which will take time. I would like however to get stuck in and wondered if anyone has any ideas of where best to start. What works, what doesn't etc. Any advice would be welcome.
2 books I have to read is SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services & Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for Dummies, purely as this is the software us Analysts have had installed we have no other choice.
Its Ok learning how to use a reporting software but my aim would be to learn the language of SQL, any advice is more than appriciated and welcome.

If you want something to get you spun up on the basics really quickly, I recommend Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL in 10 Minutes.
The author uses the depreciated ANSI 89 syntax throughout the book (my only real complaint) but aside from that, it's a very good fast into to SQL and will have you writing SQL very quickly.
That, until recently, was always my go to recommendation for "how to get started" books... That is until I found Microsoft SQL Server 2012 T-SQL
Fundamentals. Hands down, the best general purpose T-SQL books I've seen, written by a true master (Itzik Ben-Gan). It covers the basics and goes well beyond... The only reason I didn't recommend it first is the fact that you said you were going 2008R2...
Not being able to follow the book (in it's entirety) may be frustrating.

How to make people hate HP? (A learning from HP Care)

I was very happy when I bought a brand new HP PAVILION dv2601tx Special Edition in Dec 2007.
Till one year there was no issue in my lap except high temperature that was not major one, but just before completion of one year problem started and I bought HP care pack for my lap, after that I submitted my system 5 times for atleast 15 days in a single complain.
Till now HP replaced almost every part of my laptop. They Changed/Replaced
System Board 2 Times
HDD 2 Times
DVD R/W 1 Time
Screen Panel 1 Time
And again problem comes, when I take my lap back and comes to home and start my lap very eagerly, i found system screen was not responding properly, that stuck at any point of time and screen become white with some spots on it, that was all just after 1 days system back from service center. And when I submit my lap again they said we need to replace Screen Panel. from last 1 month my system Iwas in HP Service Center.
I am not understanding what kind of a system is this, which type of Quality Check going on in HP Service centers. and after this instance i really concern about the final quality check, before delivering system back to customer can't they even check that screen is not working properly.
I think what i bought was mainly meant for Service Center Employee's Practice rather then Consumer use.
Now I am vary about my lap because very soon its warranty going to be expired and what happen after that. In 3 years of time I felt that I made a mistake by buying HP product, and I know there will no answer from HP for this.

No. Mac OS X only runs on Macs.

Learning from book.

Hi all,
Don't have a technical question to ask but more of a philosophical, I think. Some time ago, I purchased a G4 tower and have been using my Mac for basic computing and internet access, but I have recently been wanting to learn more in detail the ins and outs of my Mac. I understand the Mac is widely considered to be the easier machine to handle of the two computing worlds, but there's still a lot to learn about the Mac and it's current OS, Tiger and I don't think just experimenting is necessarily the most efficient way of learing Tiger, etc. My question is, I recently came upon a book, "Mac OS, Tiger: The Missing Manual". Touted #1 and I'm no spring chicken to computing, but I want to immerse myself more in the Mac environment and want to know if these how to books are worth it in learning tthe Mac in depth or should I go to the school of hard knocks, in other words, it's just as easy to figure things out in OSX without the aid of these books? I hope I didn't confuse anyone.

There are dozens of good books about Macs and OS X. The Missing Manual is a decent but relatively basic level book. The Mac Bible is an excellent book. For OS X the best one is Mac OS X Support Essentials and for the hardware Desktop and Portable Systems. Both available from Peachpit Press. These are the two texts used for Apple's Technician Training course.
An excellent resource on troubleshooting is Troubleshooting Mac OS X, an e-book from The XLab.
