No response from o2- what's the best time of day to try getting through?

I want to end my contract and get a PAC code, but it seems to be impossible to get through to o2. I spent half an hour on the online chat before being told the support team couldn't be contacted and I should phone. Then two twenty-three minute phone calls- the second got through at last but then cut out before I could get the code. Now the phone warns of 30-minute queuing, and back on the chat line the only message is "We're really busy right now. Thanks for waiting." Then it gave me after 25 minutes "Chat not initialized." So I wonder if anyone has any views on when it's best to try to get through? Or are they just very very unhappy to deal with anyone wanting to leave? Thanks.

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

What is the best time to set for my iMac intel to get to sleep?

what is the best time to set for my iMac intel to get to sleep? the default is 10 minutes, i am changing it to 1 houirs but i put the sleep time for my monitod 10 minutes. is it decent?

Not so sure of that "just plain logic." Allowing sleep too often will cause wear on the drive -- excessive spin up and spin down. Temperature permitting, a drive will last longer if just left running.
For other hardware, a lot will have to do with the internal temps. When it's quite hot here, I allow the computer to sleep more often. But otherwise, it's a bit of this and a bit of that. I wouldn't personally recommend running 24/7, although I know of several here who claim they do, with no apparent adverse effects over many years.

What is the best way to implement Spiceworks and get started?

Yes this is the most basic question of all, how do you use it?I did search for some articles but there are tutorials that are 6 years old, or maybe a year or two old. I want to make sure I'm up to date on best practice.I've got a network of 8 PCs and 6 laptops or so as well as phones and tablets (if SW cares).I've got this community user which I created long ago when I first tried to test SW.My question is, what is the best way to get SW going? I mean, do I create a new user that is specific to the company? Is the community user different from the SW admin user? I want to separate my community user (which is me personally) from any local business/network implementation of SW.Do I need a server to run this or is something run on each workstation? Does each computer need something done to it so SW can work right?Basically I just need to...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

In Settings tap on Reset at the bottom then tap on Erase all Content and Settings. This returns it to the condition of being "new."

What is the best time to validate this?

I'm creating a standard form which asks the user for personal data (name, age, address, and so on...).
At the end of this form the user must enter a User Name for his/her account.
Since validating the user name requires the server to connect to the database and check wheter that name already exists or not, I'd like to do this verification only when all the other fields in the form are valid. This will reduce accesses to the DB.
Think about connecting to the DB even when the user fails entering a valid age or other data. It seems pretty inefficient.
What is the best way to achieve this check?
I was thinking to create a backing bean which includes all the fields in the form, and which validates the user name field only if every single other field is valid... but I guess that's not how it should be done.
Any idea? Please help.
Thank you!

That's what I do...
The problem is: I want the other fields to be validated by their validators (and that what happens). But I want the user name to be validated only if all the other fields are valid (i.e. previously validated and accepted), otherwise no validation occours on the user name fields (except for the "needed" one)
Is that possible?
I'm doing it with a big Backing Bean which embodies the whole form and checks whether the other fileds are valid or not before validating the User Name.

[CS4-CS5] Table from XML: what's the best practice?

Hi,
I have to build a huge table (20-25 pages long...) from an XML file.
No problem with that, I wrote a XSLT file to convert my client's XML in the "Table/Cell structure" InDesign needs with all style parameters.
The problem is that it takes a long time (4-5 hours) to ID to build the whole table.
I wonder if this is still the best practice with such a huge amount of data (the input XML is 1,1 Mb).
I also tried to build the table using a script (JavaScript) but from some time test I can see the problem is even bigger.
I'm currently using an iMac (Mac OS X 10.6.2) with 3.06 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo and 8 GB ram, it's not exactly the worst computer in this world...
Is there a best practice for this kind of work?
Client is becoming a pain in the arse...
Thanks in advance!

First transform the XML through XSLT seprately and then Import that XML in InDesign.
Hope it help.

Anil Yadav

Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

What's the best ND filter to buy to get the most shallow depth of field while taking pictures?

I have a Rebel SL1 by the way.

This depends on if you're trying to use flash at the same time.
Outdoors in full mid-day sun, the exposure based on a "Sunny 16" rule is f/16 and the shutter speed set to the inverse of the ISO speed. At ISO 100 you'd use 1/100th. But if you dial the aperture open 5 stops to f/2.8 then you can dial the shutter faster by 5 stops to 1/3200 and have an equivalent exposure.
f/2.8 is fairly shallow, but it is not the shallowest... f/2 and f/1.4 are even more shallow. Canon makes 50mm and 85mm f/1.2L (L series lenses) which can create especially shallow depth of field (particularly the 85mm). Canon used to have a 50mm f/1.0 lens but they have not made that in years.
Depending on your subject... there's a point where the depth of field is so shallow that it's not possible to to get your entire subject into acceptable focus. At f/1.4 and f/1.2 the depth of field can get REALLY thin (especially at close focusing distances.)
While most of my lenses can handle f/2.8 or better, I often find I prefer f/4 unless I can control subject placement well enough that f/2.8 (or lower) can still work.
Your SL1 caps out at 1/4000th sec shutter speed. So if you were to shoot in full mid-day sun (a bit of an extreme example) and you wanted to use, say, an f/2 aperture, you could not halve the shutter speed to 1/6400th because your shutter doesn't offer that setting. But you COULD do that with just a single stop ND filter (ND 0.3 -- when represented this way each "0.1" worth of density is equal to 1/3rd of a stop of light. So 0.3 is 3/3rds or 1 full stop.).
I have a 2 stop (ND 0.6), 3 stop (ND 0.9) and 10 stop (ND 3.0) filters in my bag.
If you use flash, this changes things... with flash (which I usually use during the day to fill the deep shadows and soften the light) you are capped at the flash sync speed. For your SL1 that's 1/200th sec (or slower) unless you have a speedlite that supports "high speed sync" mode.
In this situation, you might actually want 4 or 5 stops worth of ND if you are shooting in mid-day sun using fill-flash that doesn't support high-speed sync. You can change the shutter from 1/100th to 1/200th (1 stop) but you'd still have 4 more stops to make up to get from f/16 down to f/2.8... one more stop to get to f/2.
You can "stack" filters, but stacking increases the odds of artifacts from reflections... use high quality anti-reflective coated filters (this is a situation where it doesn't pay to buy budget filters.)
The major caution is that there is a point where the shallow depth of field is "too shallow" for the subject.

What is the best type of computer i can get

i plan on downloading about 30 games to play if u would like to know what they are just tell me

This is the closet thing to your price range.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9249495&type=product&id=1218068107386
I would recommend saving up some more money. It's going to be almost impossible to get a retail computer built for gaming for less than $500.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

What is the best time to buy the 13" Retina MBP???

Seeing as though the Macbook Air just got updated should i take my chances and buy the 13" Retina Macbook pro now or should i prolong my purchase and wait for a MBP w/retina update? & If i wait do you think this update will come before My return to school?

No one here knows when or if Apple will be coming with a new Retina, MBP or anything. If you need it now, buy it. If you can wait till school starts, wait. Then make YOUR decision. No sense pining.

What is the best approach to generate control numbers from bpel?

1. If we want to control ISA/GS/ST control numbers from bpel, what is the best approach to do that?
2. how to generate these control numbers and where to store them to get a sequence out of it?
Thanks,
Kathar

Internally Oracle B2B uses DB sequence for generating the control numbers. It is the best approach but at the same time it is not very straight forward, specially in case of clustered database. So you may carefully implement same with BPEL.
Hi Anuj,
If we let B2B to generate control numbers in the clustered environment, is there any settings we have to do?
So you may carefully implement same with BPEL. BTW, what is the use case behind this?
We were thinking about using this to send out duplicate messages to two TPs but we decided to go with java callout as you suggested in another thread.
Thanks!

What's the best way to transfer iTunes from my mac to my android

I have tried everything and researched until I am exhausted. I tried android file transfer. My device cannot be recognized by my mac. I tried Kies and cannot figure out how to install it on my phone although I have it on my Mac. I transferred music via google play and it messed up my library and din't transfer playlists. What's the best way? How can I get my Mac to recognize my device and please don't day change USB stings as I cannot find anything resembling that.

Copy the entire itunes folder.

What is the best way to be able to run certain websites that aren't supported by safari, firefox, and chrome, in other words only internet explorer?

I really need to do a class online but it wont save progress because it is not supported by safari and only works with internet explorer. What is the best way around this?

Try this with Safari ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar again click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 9, 8, or 7.
An alternative is to create a partition on the Mac hard drive and install Windows using Boot Camp but that is a long and drawn out process and you would need to purchase an Window install disc.
