Noobish Question

So if my laptop is plugged in and the battery is fully charged it says that it is running the power from the AC adapter. Does that mean that my maximum battery charge will not decrease while keeping my laptop plugged in? I'm mainly worried about not having to get a new battery any time soon.

Yes - it will run off AC (and stop charging the battery).

Not exactly. The MBP can occasionally draw a little more power than the AC adapter provides, and it gets that from the battery. So, over a couple of days on AC power, you may notice 100% go to 99%, then 98%, etc. Charging does not initiate unless the battery drops below 95%.

Help with possibly noobish question

Hello,
I need to make some complex graph structures such that this format will not do
1: 2 ->4
2: 4 ->2
I have several additions to each node to take care of that is the main problem.
each node has aarity which I could hold as a separate array to be accessed for each object instance of a node
Part 1:
The problem is that i have to know which node is connected to which arity element and then I have to search for the free elements and label their indexes with characters. I think I can solve this
Part 2:
The second problem is maybe a little worse as I have to translate certain groups graphs to something like this and then connect them to any graph as needed. Will i need to make a separate object for this purpose??
| ..................| n input wires connected |
|???????????????????????????????????|
| Wires maped to edges from graph |
|___________________________________|
| ..................| n output wires wires connected |
Part 3:
To compound this I have to find a way to implement a menu selector to choose random graphs or parts of graphs for a Genetic Algorithm. Selection is not the problem here its is mapping the structures into a chromosone which is causing me the problem.
Part 4:
Each connection has the graphs triggers different application specific rules that cause the graph to reduce or change connections.
Any help on strategies for these problems would greatly be appreciated
kind regards

Hello all and thanks for the replies positive or not. Sorry if I offended you bbritta. I guess its not such and easy question after all.
Well its not due tomorrow and I am doing some research into a wierd topic so you guys are along the right lines. The topic I am researching is non-determinstic interaction nets. I don't know too many people doing this. Interaction Nets invented by a guy named Yves Lafont and you can google this and the topic I am researching.
All the code written thus far exists in C and is very hard to interpret as it uses a Lex and Yacc parser to implement the creation of tokens and syntax rules of the Interaction Nets programming language.
Basically its a high level visual graph programming language however it can also be used on low level based on interpretation. Thus the need for graph data structures. Essentially I have to modify this programming language for non-determinism and demonstrate this in a Genetic Algorithm. The latter would be no problem if I could get the data structure sorted. People familiar with Lamda calculus, Linear Logic and Process Calculus might have seen this in some research papers.
However I have not had a very good theoretical background so finding the data structures to map the complexity of the graphs is a little problematic. I will outline my idea and what I have done a little clearer below.
So far I have broken the prob into smaller steps as suggested by someone, I hope the pseudo code helps a little more.
class Symbol
convertASCIItoINt( char value) : return int
getChar() : return char
checkAvailability() : return boolean;
//each Symbol is assigned to a free port and is traditionally input.
//several instances of this obj are used to
class Port implements Symbol
initialisePort( num);
checkFreePorts( ) : return boolean;
setPortSymbol (port [num])
private ports [ num ];
setEndPortAsSpecial( ports [ num ]) // each node has a special port called principal port
// each node has a set of port and each port can have a label as a string
class Node
setNodeSymbol()
getnodeSymbol()
public Port node_obj [ port_num ];
setSpecialSymbol( string)
//destructor to delete node connected to
//duplicator to create a copy of cell value
//constructor create a copy of the cell
getSpecialSymbol() : return string symbol;
checkSpecialSymbol(node_obj [ port_num ]): return string symbol;
//so far as a typical graph goes i think its acceptable to connect the nodes in an vector with
//a list at each element although this is not shown below.
class Net
connecNodes( node_obj [ port_num], node_obj [ port_num] )
checkDeadlock(): return boolean; //check for cycles
public Node net_obj [ node_num ];
checkConnected( node_obj [ port_num], node_obj [ port_num] ): return boolean;
//this is where the execution engine will be placed
class InteractionRules
ruleTrigger( )
Node n = new n
n.checkSpecialSymbol()
// its here where things get complicated with the data structure as according to the rules I have to delete
// add or copy a value of a particular node in a Net
determineReduction()
    //if (ports [ num ] = num )
    // a reduction occurs according to the rule in the method above ruleTrigger();
   //at this point the relevant nodes will be removed and new nodes will be added according to the rules
storeCopyofOriginalNet()
   //needed to rollback if rules are infeasable or deadlock occurs.
}I desperately still need help to complete the data structure I have also considered manipulating the complex associations between the sets as multimaps and maps
Sorry if I am not clear I am trying my best to explain something I have had little background and almost no help in as I am creating the special rules as I go along such as keeping an copy of a net / graph before modifying it in the Genetic Algorithm.
Kind Regards and Best Wishes

A noobish question about kernel upgrades

Hi, I am a noob lol. I just installed Arch a couple of weeks ago and I like it a lot. Seems like a lot more fun than most other distros I've tried. Very tight, fast and flexible. I've been through a couple of upgrades now including one kernel upgrade and everything is running very well and I am interested in keeping it that way. (I'm in Gnome with zero disk activity within about 10 - 15 seconds after I chain load it from grub2.)
Anyway, I am currently using kernel 2.6.35.7 and I am very happy with it. However, when I do a pacman -Syu it is including kernel lts-2.6.32.24 in its list of proposed upgrades which I decline. So...let's make my first question a dumb one. Why? Other distros I am using or have tried always prefer the most recent package version unless I force it to do otherwise, so this just strikes me as a bit odd.
Thanks.

Hey thanks everybody. I really appreciate the replies! I figured out where it came from. I installed from the 2010.05 i686 core iso and selected base-devel, the lts kernel is part of that package.
Anyway, it wasn't really a problem as much as a riddle. I started out with kernel 2.6.34.x and pacman was asking me to upgrade 2.6.32.x, so I'm like wtf? I was starting to wonder about early onset Alzhiemer's. Guess I should have Googled more. I'm coming from Debianland so little things like Arch's package designations are still a little confusing to me. I have a lot more reading to do.
BTW, I love this distro's wiki, really outstanding documentation. I think I'm going to hit Powell's or Amazon up for a couple of books though, my eyes get really heavy and blurry while reading on screen. And while I'm on that topic, does anyone have any recommendations for comprehensive entry level books on Arch?
Thanks again everybody!

Noobish question on strings-plz help

Whats wrong with this code?
public String name(){
          String str="hi";
          if(str.equals("hi"))
               return str;
Why is it saying "This method should return a result of type string"?
Regards.

public String name(){
    String str="hi";
    if(str.equals("hi")) {
        return str;
    // if above if statement is false code gets to here
    // where is the return statement?
}The compiler doesn't give a shit about evaluating the if statement to see that it can only be true. All the compiler looks at is that when the if statement is false there is no return statement.

Noobish question regarding sockets (no output)

I've pieced together a simple client server application based on samples from a few socket examples I found. Both client and server run on the same machine and uses port 6666 (tcp). The problem I encounter is that the client portion does not pick anything up. As I was unsure whether the problem was on the client or server end I fired up wireshark and applied a filter for tcp port 6666. Nothing found, so the problem appears to be on the server end.
Can anyone suggest anything that looks obviously wrong?
Also, if writing an actual client/server application will it be best to make use of events for detecting when connections are made?
package socketClient;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class SocketClient {
Socket connection = null;
public SocketClient() {
public void runClient() {
InetAddress address = null;
System.out.println("Attempting to Connect");
try {
address = InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
throwWobbler(e);
try {
connection = new Socket(address,6666);
} catch (IOException e) {
throwWobbler(e);
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
connection.getInputStream()));
} catch (IOException e) {
throwWobbler(e);
BufferedReader stdIn = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String userInput;
try {
while ((userInput = stdIn.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(userInput);
System.out.println("echo: " + in.readLine());
} catch (IOException e) {
throwWobbler(e);
try {
connection.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
throwWobbler(e);
System.out.println("Nothing Left to Do");
public void throwWobbler(IOException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
System.err.println(e.getStackTrace());
System.exit(1);
*@param args*
public static void main(String[] args) {
SocketClient client = new SocketClient();
client.runClient();
}

Oh, thanks (stupid, stupid me)
Am I right in thinking that I needed to use the bufferedreader that uses the socketconnection?
          BufferedReader in = null;
          try {
               in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                       connection.getInputStream()));
          } catch (IOException e) {
               throwWobbler(e);
          String userInput;
          try {
               while ((userInput = in.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(userInput);
               System.out.println("echo: " + in.readLine());
          } catch (IOException e) {
               throwWobbler(e);
          }It seems to hang for a while and then produces the following error:
Connection reset

Also, I realised that I never provided the server side: (even more stupid me)

4 Basic Random HANA Questions

First, I would like to apologise if my questions sound too basic, I'm still new and trying to understand HANA.
1) HANA database will be physically located in memory, or I guess we can say CPU. When I think of database I always think server. Can it be called HANA server?
2) Can reporting be done in HANA? Does HANA provide a tool within it's application that can do reporting? Or is another reporting tool needed like BWA, BO, BI, etc? If so, which are compatible with HANA?
3) Architecture Question:
a) When data is submitted in R/3 (ex. sales order), the data is stored on R/3 server, then replicated in near real time via Sybase to HANA database? Is this how it works?
b) Why is Sybase a server, Is the data being replicated stored on Sybase server first before being transferred to HANA database? If so, there are 2 servers (R/3 & Sybase) and 1 Memory (HANA)?
4) Inside In-Memory Computing Studio, Modeling is where the tables are chosen to be replicated. If I chose table XYZ to be replicated in SAP HANA, will the replication automatically create a copy of the table in SAP HANA?
5) Is there a need to learn any ABAP/4 to be involved in HANA? Can I be an expert in HANA without knowing ABAP/4?
Thanks in advance, and again I apologies for my noobish questions.

Here are random answers:
1) Yes, there is HANA server (hardware machine(s)) and HANA database server (software). HANA server has RAM (lots of it), SSDs and traditional HDD storage. HANA db uses all of those, including CPU cache of course.
2) You can report using SBO BI or MS Excel (please see earlier thread on this forum). You can use HANA studio for preview of tables/views content, but it isnot reporting tool per se.
3) Data can be replicated using SAL LT Replicator (ABAP-based), SBO DataServices and in some cases using Sybase Replication Server. Please have a look at recently recorded webinar at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/khnc
4) That's the idea. Details depend on the replication mechanism chosen.
5) No, but it does not hurt to know ABAP. You would need to learn HANA-specific language called "SQLScript" if you go deep into HANA-based development.

Tint2 question how to use 2 panels

Hi again!
THis might seem a noobish question , but i would like to put the system tray with the clock on the top of the desktop and at the bottom the tasks .
How do i do that ? Do i need to make two tint2 configuration files ?
Thanks !

Nearly the same situation. I did split up the panel int two parts, one of them dedicated to clock and tray which I wanted to show with different colors on my display. I solved this with these two configuration files.

GS70 Stealth Noob Question. Help?

I kinda have a noobish question. It has to do with the GS70 Stealth. So my laptop is old and I decided to buy a new one. I cam by an offer at this computer store close to me.
Heres the offer
http://www.mediamarkt.at/mcs/product/MSI-MSI-GS70---Gaming-Notebook,10255,252053,1051161.html
A little bit pricey, but oh well. So I'm not that much of a gamer, but I do usually play bf4 or bop2 or cod ghosts. Running them in medium graphics works for me. So I saw the GS70 has a GTX 765M, which is said to run games i stated above fine at High Graphics. Then I notice it was the core i7 with the clock speed of 2.4 Ghz.
Now, back to my noobish question, The offer nor the MSI official website say anything about "Intel Turbo Boost"
So my question is: Does the GS70's processor have Turbo Boost? OR has it been disabled by MSI ( if it can ). OR did they just not state it at all.

It has Turbo Boost. It just doesn't say it on the webpage.

Question Regarding Audio in MPEG-2 Compression

Hi,
I have recently been on holiday and wish to compress some stock footage which is taking up ridiculous amounts of space on my Mac. Not only will it be saving me precious HDD space, but I wish to put it on DVD at a later date too and know that MPEG 2 is the standard for SD DVDs.
My problem is with the audio when compressing for MPEG-2. I Understand that both have to be compressed separately so I'm converting the video with a dolby soundtrack, but how do I join them again?
Alternatively, theres the option of checking a box so the audio is multiplexed however the end result always seems to be a file thats unreadable by all applications on my Mac (All software is up to date and I own the entire FCP studio)?
It's a slightly 'Noobish' question I guess, and I'm thinking I'm in the wrong section altogether now oops and maybe I should be looking up how to use DVD Studio Pro?
But any help/ Guidance would be great for an amateur like myself who's just starting out with trying to get his head around the Pro Suites.
Thanks in Advance.

You don't need to join them again ! You must import both audio and video files in DVDSP and place them in the same track.
You must choose the right DVD enoding preset depending on your footage lenght in minutes and encode your video as MPEG2 and your audio to Dolby 2 (AC3). Giving both files same name (i.e. movie1.mpg & movie1.ac3) will help you to organize your assets in DVDSP.
Visit the DVDSP forum and use the Search feature. You'll find a lot of good info in previous posts.
Hope that helps !

Question Regarding Special Offers and Rebates

hiya guys and gals
i am a college student and i know i can get a free ipod nano ($179) with the purchase of a macbook. i came across an ad on the website and it stated that i can get up to $100 when i buy a mac and a printer. so what's the catch with up to $100? if i purchased a cheaper printer that costs $100 the rebate would be less and if i bought a higher-end printer that costs $300, i can get the full $100 rebate?
if so, does it work WITH the ipod nano offer?
sorry for posting such noobish questions on a prestigious forum

thanks short guy!
good to know that the two rebates (both nano and
printer) works. but what do they mean by "up
to $100"? i'm just afraid if i purchased the HP
C3140 which costs $99.95, i'm only eligible for maybe
$50 or $75. i guess i can always get the HP C4180,
but i already have a descent printer and i don't want
to spend any more money.
You no matter what get a $100 rebate. So if the printer you want is the C3140, then you will get $100 off of the $99.95, which is then free when they send the money back after the rebate.
also, if you have to cut out the UPC barcode of the
laptop for BOTH nano rebate and printer rebate, how
do you do it? and same goes for the receipt. can you
just make copies?
ok, for the UPC barcode that you have to send in for both the nano and the printer. The person at the apple store told me that you want to send the hard copy to the Printer rebate place being that it is 3rd party, and then you make a copy of the UPC barcode and send the copies to apple and note on the paper that you are taking place in the printer rebate offer as well..
im pretty sure that is what the lady told me at the apple store, but you might want to double check with them at the apple store too know exactly what to do.

General question: mail

Hi, this might sound like a noobish question, but here I go anyway:
I have setup my email account in my itouch and can view my emails (haven't tried sending out though). Now I'm wondering which process does the itouch do:
1. The itouch just connect to mail server so that we can view our emails or
2. The itouch downloads our emails from the server, and save them (kind of creating a replica) in itouch. Thus, we can view our emails.
I'd like to know the answer because if no 2. is true, then wouldn't that mean it will then eat up some space for our email replica?
Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. Emails are generally downloaded but emails that are more than a few tens of kb may not be right away until you select the option at the bottom of the email.
2. You should also check in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > {account name} > Advanced and see if your +iPod touch+ is set to delete mail from the server or not.
Assuming you don't have the iPod set to delete mail from the server, if you use a POP3 mail service then deleting an email on the +iPod touch+ will not impact you ability to read, reply or delete the same email on your computer or web-mail. If you have an IMAP mail service then reading on the +iPod touch+ will mark it as read on your computer/web-mail. On IMAP deleting an email will also be reflected elsewhere.
When you connect to iTunes you'll see a small amount of space as "other" which will include your emails. Most emails can be read when you don't have a WiFi connection.
Many ISP email accounts won't allow you to send email if you aren't connecting to the Internet using that ISP.

MSI K8N Neo2-FX RAID question...

I don't quite know if this is a noobish question but...
I've got that mobo and a Seagate 160GB Barracuda ATA100 7,200rpm with 8MB cache. I've also got a 80GB one that's just sitting there and smiling at me
Can I run these two in RAID with ATA100?
Thanks

as far as the recomendations are, its NECESSERY to have 2 IDENTICAL DRIVE THAT EVERYTHING works properly, however you can use differnet size drives(not sure which raid offers this option, i think raid1), but youll be limited to the smallest one.

Is it possible to keep all iTunes media on an external hard drive and not on my Mac Book and have ITunes still function?

Let me begin by saying I'm new to the Mac world as well as to the realm of online forums so I apologize if this is a question that was already asked and/or if it is a very noobish question...
But anyway, I just recently got the new Macbook Pro 15" with RD and I am curious if I can keep all of my Itunes media on an external hard drive without keeping any of it on the Macbook itself and have Itunes still function (when the HD is connected of course). I am trying to keep the computer memory clutter free and not fill it up with music and stuff so I want to keep all of my media on a 1T Buffalo external hard drive so the computer stays like brand new for a long time..Right now I have about 5G worth of music on my hard drive and I thought it was only on the hard drive and I just recently found out that it is also within the music folder on the computer itself. Any thoughts? Sorry if it is an odd question, I can try to rephrase the question if need be. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

Running win 7 pro on Mac. VMware fusion - Help

Hey Guys,
I bought a mac and well I have been missing a few of my favourite PC programs so I have now installed VMware Fusion and put windows in and I logged into last night really quickly before I went to bed.
A few questions I have if someone can please help me with is :
1. How do I jump across to the windows OS ?
2. Do I need to transfer the app from my external to internal mac HD
3. Do I need winzip or is it still mac or once I goto the windows OS.. I can use normal winzip ?
sorry to ask so many noobish questions I just want to make sure I can run 3 main things from my Pc on the Mac and been told it was through Fusion which looks like the windows OS.
Please can someone help me out with these questions.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
since Fusion is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources here http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/support.html
Regards
Stefan
