Not realizing clearing cookies didn't effect some tab history - couldn't reach a previously accessable site regardless of what route I got to the login window and only cured by removing offending tab - Is there a better way?

Normally reach a data base through a sign-in panel provided by the
library. When using experienced an interruption, then what was a
different method of accessing the data base appeared. The next
attempt to log in some days later put me in on "terms of use" page
with no further links.
Could sign on correctly using a different browser on my linux account, and using Firefox on my wife's linux account, but not using
Firefox on my account. Clearing cookies under the options given
in the tools "Clear Recent History" did not work. Finally fixed
problem by deleting the tab I had been using when interrupted.
Don't need a fix, as I'm back on track. But would appreciate
some explanation of what my tab was doing.

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?
I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.

When I share a file to YouTube, where does the output file live? I want also to make a DVD. And is this a best practice or is there a better way?

I want also to make a DVD, but can't see where the .mov files are.
And is this a best practice or is there a better way to do this, such as with a master file?
thanks,
/john

I would export to a file saved on your drive as h.264, same frame size. Then import that into youtube.
I have never used FCP X to make a DVD but I assume that it will build the needed vob mpeg 2 source material for the disk.
I used to use Toast & IDVD. Toast is great.
To "see" the files created by FCP 10.1.1 for YouTube, rt. (control) click on the Library Icon in your Movies/show package contents/"project"/share.

Complete Apple TV Resync when upgrading my server? Is there a better way?

We recently replaced our old imac that served are the ITunes library with a new one. We have two Apple TVs.
I configured the new server using a time machine backup from my old. I de-authorized my old computer and re-authorized the new one. All of my music, movies and pictures transferred over fine. To get the Apple TVs to work (they weren't visible on the new server), I had to 'remove' them from the old computer. Then add them again be getting a code from the ATVs and typing it into the new ITunes server.
Even though both ATVs were current with all content, they reloaded everything. I'm about 48 hours in, and it still isn't done. Was there a better way?

No, unfortunately, it's one of the more annoying aspects of the ATV. If you replace the computer you keep your iTunes library on the ATV sees it as a different library even though it's the same library on a different computer. The hardware signature of the new computer is different, so the ATV doesn't recognize it as the same library. The same thing happens if you replace the hard drive in your computer, the ATV will no longer recognize it as the same computer. Your only option is to wait for the sync to complete.

Timeline not working - is there a better way?

First, what I'm trying to accomplish:
I have a div layer the explains how to navigate the ensuing
page.
I want this to display for about 25 seconds and then hide
while the other two divs on the page become visible.
I set up a timeline with three layers and made it
automatically play back.
I made the first layer visible for 25 seconds and then made
it hidden.
The other two divs started hidden and I made them visible
after 25 seconds.
It worked for a while but I went back to fine tune it but the
timeline appeared to be blank. I tried to set it up again but now
things are all screwed up.
Is there a better way to show and hide divs for specific
amounts of time?
Are there tricks to using timelines that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Steve

This doesn't really answer your question - but your post
raises some
other questions. If you have to explain to users how to
navigate your
site, isn't that a red flag that there are other more serious
issues?
Like making the site usable? If you still want to display
those DIVs,
not all people read at the same speed. After 25 or whatever
seconds some
people will be bored having to stare at that so long while
others will
not have had enough time to read it. Best to let the user
decide when to
close the DIV. The last thing to note is the Timeline is
pretty awful.
So bad in fact that it is being removed from Dreamweaver CS4.
You might
consider using Flash for "Timeline animations" instead.

Is there a better way to do this projection/aggregate query?

Hi,
Summary:
Can anyone offer advice on how best to use JDO to perform
projection/aggregate queries? Is there a better way of doing what is
described below?
Details:
The web application I'm developing includes a GUI for ad-hoc reports on
JDO's. Unlike 3rd party tools that go straight to the database we can
implement business rules that restrict access to objects (by adding extra
predicates) and provide extra calculated fields (by adding extra get methods
to our JDO's - no expression language yet). We're pleased with the results
so far.
Now I want to make it produce reports with aggregates and projections
without instantiating JDO instances. Here is an example of the sort of thing
I want it to be capable of doing:
Each asset has one associated t.description and zero or one associated
d.description.
For every distinct combination of t.description and d.description (skip
those for which there are no assets)
calculate some aggregates over all the assets with these values.
and here it is in SQL:
select t.description type, d.description description, count(*) count,
sum(a.purch_price) sumPurchPrice
from assets a
left outer join asset_descriptions d
on a.adesc_no = d.adesc_no,
asset_types t
where a.atype_no = t.atype_no
group by t.description, d.description
order by t.description, d.description
it takes <100ms to produce 5300 rows from 83000 assets.
The nearest I have managed with JDO is (pseodo code):
perform projection query to get t.description, d.description for every asset
loop on results
if this is first time we've had this combination of t.description,
d.description
perform aggregate query to get aggregates for this combination
The java code is below. It takes about 16000ms (with debug/trace logging
off, c.f. 100ms for SQL).
If the inner query is commented out it takes about 1600ms (so the inner
query is responsible for 9/10ths of the elapsed time).
Timings exclude startup overheads like PersistenceManagerFactory creation
and checking the meta data against the database (by looping 5 times and
averaging only the last 4) but include PersistenceManager creation (which
happens inside the loop).
It would be too big a job for us to directly generate SQL from our generic
ad-hoc report GUI, so that is not really an option.

String assetType = (String) cols[0];
String assetDescription = (String) cols[1];
String type_description =
assetDescription != null
? assetType + "~" + assetDescription
: assetType;
if (distinct.add(type_description)) {
Object[] cols2 =
(Object[]) q2.execute(assetType,
assetDescription);
// System.out.println(
// "type "
// + assetType
// + ", description "
// + assetDescription
// + ", count "
// + cols2[0]
// + ", sum "
// + cols2[1]);
q2.closeAll();
q1.closeAll();

Neil,
It sounds like the problem that you're running into is that Kodo doesn't
yet support the JDO2 grouping constructs, so you're doing your own
grouping in the Java code. Is that accurate?
We do plan on adding direct grouping support to our aggregate/projection
capabilities in the near future, but as you've noticed, those
capabilities are not there yet.

Catalog settings and meta data is there a better way.

HI
I have adobe cs4 and light room 2.2 I do my editing in LR cropping exposure web galleries and so on on, thats all well and good but any modifications i make will not show up in the bridge unless i go into light room and apply save meta data to files. I have about 400 light room catalogs as I store the catalog in the folder that contains the original image. Is there a way to have light room automatically apply meta data changes to each catalog in stead of going to catalog settings or saving the meta data to the file. its a pain in the *** to have to go into a catalog and apply all those settings if i want to do some editing in the bridge

> ...is there a better way ...
Might I humbly suggest that your multiple (400!!) catalog strategy is flawed? You have defeated the benefits of having a single database. (And those that argue a database is bad concept and a possible single point of failure are ... well ... simply wrong.)
Lr can automatically write XMP data so that Bridge can read it. But the reverse is not true. Any changes that Bridge/ACR make will have to be imported into Lr with manually initiation.
The point and beauty of Lr is that you make the majority of adjustments in Lr. It's possible to make adjustments in Bridge and have them imported into Lr but as you discovered it is not automatic. And your workflow choice makes it doubly (or 400 times) more troublesome.

Switching a panel to another panel in the same frame.Is there a better way?

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() instanceof toolButton){
            westPanel.remove(optionPanel);
            westPanel.setVisible(false);
            toolButton tb = (toolButton)e.getSource();
            optionPanel = tb.getPanel();
            westPanel.add(optionPanel);
            westPanel.setVisible(true);
    }This code above is what I used to execute when one of several JButtons is being pressed.
In this program, one of the JPanel will be automatically switched to another JPanel when you press the respective JButtons.
Here are my questions:
1. Right now, I use westPanel.setVisible(false) and then change some stuff and then invoke westPanel.setVisible(true) to make it visible again. Although this works, I have a feeling that this is not quite right. I feel that there should be some better way to do this, switching the panel and request the program to redraw the replacing JPanel. Is there a better way for this?
2. Most of the time, the JPanel changes the size according to the components on it. I have tried several LayoutManager, but it seems that those components have more priority. Is there a way to completely fix the JPanel so that they stay the same size?

Look into using a Card Layout rather than manually swapping the panels: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html

Netdevice=eth0 - is there a better way?

With the latest patches for ZFD, the imaging kernel now supports wireless drivers. Clearly, many of us are having issues because machines with WiFi adapters prompt for interface selection.
We've temporarily settled on netdevice=eth0 in settings.txt to turn off this unheralded new feature.
We tried using "brokenmodules" successfully, but we have quite a few different wireless adapters. Long term, that could get sticky.
Dear Novell - is there a better way to disable WiFi in imaging? In a medical environment, there are often computers with multiple ethernet interfaces and there is no guarantee that eth0 isn't crossover connected to some piece of equipment or a printer in a lab.
How about "brokenmodules=wifi"?
Or, maybe... "wifi=whotheheckwantstoimageusingwirelessanywa y"

We use
Code:
netsetup=dhcp,all
And it works fine on every desktop and laptop we tried.

Backing up to external hard drive, is there a better way???

I have the mybook external hard drive for backing up. I was told to click and grab all that I want to save and then drop to the new drive. Is there a better way? Is there a software system like Time Machine for Tiger users to just do a simple click and have it do it for me. I didn't see that Time Machine was good for Tiger and I am not sure of something else like it for MAC. Any ideas?

Backup Software Recommendations
My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

Is there any better way to test an agent?

Every time when I changes some code in the agent, I have to restart the domain to load the new class file. I tried the reload the agent from the Oracle Enterprise Manager, but it is not working. The old agent is still going on. It gives me many troubles since I can't start the SMB server from Window 2000 terminal console. I have to go to the computer room to start SMB natively. Is there any better way to test an agent or start the SMB server in the Window 2000 terminal console?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Jailcorder requires a jail broken iDevice to work. While it is not illegal to jail brake your iPhone in the US it is illegal to jail break an iPad.
If you do that you will not be able to use these board for help as the discussion of anything relating to a jail broken iDevice is against the TOU and the hosts will remove your posts
In addition looking tha Jailcorder it seems it has not kept up with Apple. It doesn;t work Xcode 5 and IOS 7.
On final thing to keep in mind a jail broken device behaves differently then one that is non jail broken. So even of you test with Jailcode you will still need to go through testing with a non jail broken device before submitting.
All in all if you are serious about developing for IOS it would seem the better course is to get the Developer account now.

Configure Offer remote assistance removes all helpers, then re-adds. Misconfiguration? Is there a better way?

Hi, my domain is at the 2008R2 functional level, and I have a group policy which configures the "offer remote assistance" setting (Computer Configuration>admin templates>System>Remote Assistance). I have noticed some interesting
behavior, and I'd like to know if there's a more efficient way to do this: Whenever this policy gets applied, it seems as if it removes all individuals from the "Offer Remote Assistance" group, then re-adds them. I notice this because
when I update the group policies on the clients, I see security log event 4733 (removing the account from the "offer remote assistance group") for each defined helper, then see security log event 4732 (adding the account to the "offer remote
assistance group") for each helper.
Is there a better way to accomplish this without adding and removing the accounts from the "offer remote assistance" group every time the policy is refreshed?
I ask because I'm using a SIEM for logging privileged account usage or membership changes, and the hundreds of events per day are a bit noisy.
As always, any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin

> the "apply without changes" setting that Martin mentioned?
Check http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#329 - enable this and do not
set "apply without changes". But be aware that regardless of what you
configure, security policies WILL apply every 16 hours or so in the
background. That's a hard coded value and behavior, and this applies
only to security settings.

Is There a Better Way to Work in the Marker List Window?

Is there a better way to sequentially listen to phrases one-by-one in the Marker List window? What I'm doing is Auto-Marking one single long file to break out 271 bits and save each as their own file. It's WAY faster than copying and pasting bits into new files and "saving as" 217 times.
BUT, after Auto-Marking, I have 300-400 phrases to listen to, deleting the non-keepers as I go, until I'm left with my "keeper" 271 marked phrases. But it's so tedious to move from phrase-to-phase. I have to double-click each one before I can hear it (you can move the cursor with the down-arrow, but it won't actually select the audio). So I have to use the mouse (unless I'm missing something) and double-click each of the hundreds of phrases. Then whenever I delete one (which I'll have to do about a hundred times or more to get rid of bad takes, alternates, etc.), inexplicably the cursor jumps way up the list so you have to scroll back down dozens of files to get to where you were. It took me 35 minutes to do it this last time.
Contrast that with Reaper's audition/preview functionality (which, ironically, AA has also, but only for files already saved into a folder). Once I had all the files saved into a folder, I QC'd all 217 files in Reaper and MAN what a difference! All I had to do was use the "down" arrow to advance to the next file AND have it play automatically (Audition can do the same thing with the "Open File" feature). It literally took me 5 minutes to check all 217 files that way. If AA could add that kind of functionality to the Marker List window, or if I'm just completely missing something (very possible) I would REALLY be happy.
Any ideas?
Thanks again! Happy New Years again!
Ken

Wild Duck,
That doesn't quite do what I need. My end-product is 271 (used to be 116) separate files created from one large file. That large one is made up of WAY more than 271 (the VO actor records different versions of some commands, makes mistakes, etc.).
So I need the ability to listen to each marker, and then be able to delete it if need be.
The Playlist makes this impossible in two ways. It only has 2 options for hearing each marker, and neither option allows me to delete that marker after I've heard it. It either plays them all back-to-back without stopping, or it plays each as you click the "Move Down" button. That last one would be great if showed me which marker was playing! But it doesn't, so there is no way for me to know which marker number I just heard, nor can I delete that marker after I hear it.
Sigh.
Thanks for the tip though:).

Is there a better way to add int arrays together?

I'm working on a project that will add arrays of integer together...all element are nonnegative integers
For example
A = [0 1 2 3]
I need to find an algorithm to find 2A= A + A, 3A = A+A+A....., hA = A +...A ( h times)
For 2A, the result array will look like this
2A = [ 0 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 6]
Then using Array.sort(2A) i will have 2A= [ 0 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 6].
Lastly I will write another code to get rid of repetitions to get the desired array 2A = [ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6]
public static int[] hA(int[] a, int h){
   // mon = null;
   //mon = MonitorFactory.start("myFirstMonitor");
       if (h==1) return a;
       if (h==2){
              int[] b = new int[(a.length)*(a.length)];
           int count = 0;
           int maxa = a.length,maxb=b.length;
           for (int i = 0 ; i < maxa; i++)
           for (int j=0 ; j <maxa; j++)
             b[count]=a[i]+a[j];
                count++;
            return b;
           else
           return hA(a,h-1);
       }I still don't know how to write recursive code to get it to find 3A, 4A....hA....
is there any better way to do this?

sorry for not defining it better
2A ={ a + a' | a,a' E A}
that means for A = { 0 1 3} , 2A ={ 0 1 2 3 4 6}
but to get to [ 0 1 2 3 4 6], i don't know of any better way to achieve it.
Also to find 3A = { a+a'+a'' |a,a',a'' E A}
that means for A = { 0 1 3} ,3A={ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9}
the idea is simple but to put into java code is not...at least for me
