Not what I expected
So instead of arguing with a billing agent, I had to hang up with them and regain my composure. I for one do not expect anything for free. I work my tail off for what I have and when I pay for something, I expect it to be nothing but what I paid for. So I have a little back ground of my experience from signing up for X1 and giving up my regular boxes. I'll post what has transpired from my conversation about an hour ago. The next paragraph was sent private message to one of the forum mods in which I have yet to hear back from Seems like I fell into the unhappy comcast customer pool. So I have been waiting since Last Thursday for a billing supervisor to contact me. Been on hold almost a half hour just now trying to speak with someone. This is why I'm not happy.1. The first time I spoke to an agent and ordered the X1 SIK(6/12), he botched the shipping and I had to wait almost 2 weeks for my equipment.2. Got the DVR running in 10 minutes as I stated to you before and the 3 other boxes were no good. Speaking with the tech that day for almost 2 hrs says he is sending a tech to the house no charge to me with 3 new boxes.3. The tech arrives 6/20 and tell me its not the boxes, not the wiring but the network that updates the boxes has an issue and after 9 pm that night, I can hook the boxes back up and all is good. He did not bring any boxes into the house to even try. All of the 3 did not work like he said. Also got a call around 5:30 pm that night confirming a Sunday 5 pm tech visit for wiring issues. I had no idea this was happening and I cancelled it. I was not going to be home anyways4. Called tech support 6/21 and that agent tried to reset the boxes which failed and said I needed another tech visit in which now I had to wait until 6/25 and would be no charge to me.5. The tech gets to the house on 6/25 and the guy explains that he only has 1 of the type of boxes I have with him but has 2 newer Xi3 boxes that would require to give up the 4th tuner in the dvr, so I can only record 3 shows and not 4, fine I said so he installed. The 2 guys were quick and very happy the tv's were all working.6. The new bill arrives via email and states I'm being charged 39.95 for the tech visit and $79 for installation. Why on earth would I have to pay that when I was promised the free visits? They should go back to my converstions with the agents to verify this if they want. They also installed a signal booster and took a picture of the wire mess the first tech left behind when he attempted to add line splitters. I also understand that the old equipment is listed on the account and Comcast should have them by now. I sent them UPS last Thursday. The tech took the 3 bad X1 boxes with him. I just want to get those charges off my bill and get on with it. I have spent so much time dealing with this. Any help you can give or even forward this to someone who can make it happen. I'm sorry to hit you with all of this. So today 7/5 I look at my account and the bill is $425... Yes my triple play runs us now about $225 a month and thats just with Starz added. Thats acceptable. I'm being told today that because it wasn't noted on the account, I have to pay for the tech visits now. They will only take off 39.95 thats noted on the account. I want the $130 removed like I was promised. The amount increased from the original 79 and 39.95. Plus The bill changed from 215.30 to 175.35 with a due date of 6/29 because of switching services I guess and now that extra 39.95 is back on the bill as well. Can they not go back to the recordings of the conversations and listen to these agents telling me what they were offering?Please if this is being seen by supervisors, by all means call me so we can straighten this out. I was hoping that I was going to be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have problems but being a long time customer, this is totally unacceptable and you will lose us as a customer. So if anyone can learn something from this is have the agent note everything on your account and get a copy sent to you. That will save wasted time dealing with these problems

Boundary on "CASE WHEN" does not what i expect
Hi!
The results of query1 are exactly what i expect but when i compare the counts with CASE WHEN (query2) then i get double records where the count is exactly 8. The value of Result on the second record becomes Null. This seems to me somewhat strange.
Any suggestion?

Date/time in LR 2.1 -- still not what I expect
Date/time of images that I scanned and input the dates outside of Lightroom are now working better, but still not what I would call correct. If I use the Library Filter, the date selection is correct under "Date".
This is the date that Lightroom calls "Date Time Original" in the metadata panel available on the right side. But when I select a folder and ask LR to sort based on "Capture Time", it sorts on what it calls "Date Time" not what it calls "Date Time Original". What I put in Date Time is the scan date, usually called the "Date Time Digitized". (I care when they are digitized because that indicates the quality of the scanner.) This shows up as "Date Time" in the metadata panel.
So why is the metadata search based on "Date Time Original" and the sorting by "Date Time Digitized". Surely most people want a sort on "Date Time Original" (which is the same as LR's "Date Time" in a digital camera) not some other date. If they think some people really want the other date, then it should be a choice under sort.
The sort field is called "Capture Time". OK, I agree, I did scan the files on that date. So in that sense it is the "capture time" but MY opinion is I "captured" them on film on the "Date Time Original" date and that is always the date I want them sorted by. The other date is just for reference in my case.
If "Capture Time" is really what the designers of LR think I want, why is that not the date in the library filter?

Source ip address for icmp messages not what is expected
We have a router that has interfaces in multiple VRFs. One interface sits on an interface that is routed on the Internet. Other interface sits on a VRF that is in a private address space and is used for WAN connectivity. The strange behavior that I'm seeing is related to icmp messages coming off the router. It appears that scanners hitting the Internet-facing interface cause the router to generate icmp messages (type 3) that are source using the IP address of the WAN-facing interface and they are routed across the WAN, into our data center and dropped by our firewall due to anti-spoofing rules. Is this normal behavior? Doesn't seem normal to me. Is this behavior something that can be changed via configuration?

you need inbound access-list in Internet-facing interface.
and you need to filtr private source addresses classes A, B, C

here is detailed explanation
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/prevent-ip-spoofing-with-the-cisco-ios/
they using more complicated acces-list
In a typical IP address spoofing attempt, the attacker fakes the source of packets in order to appear as part of an internal network. David Davis tells you three ways you can make an attacker's life more difficult—and prevent IP address spoofing.
As you know, the Internet is rife with security threats, and one such threat is IP address spoofing. During a typical IP address spoofing attempt, the attacker simply fakes the source of packets in order to appear as part of an internal network. Let's discuss three ways you can protect your organization from this type of attack.
Block IP addresses
The first step in preventing spoofing is blocking IP addresses that pose a risk. While there can be a reason that an attacker might spoof any IP address, the most commonly spoofed IP addresses are private IP addresses (RFC 1918) and other types of shared/special IP addresses.
Here's a list of IP addresses—and their subnet masks—that I would block from coming into my network from the Internet:
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/12
192.168.0.0/16
127.0.0.0/8
224.0.0.0/3
169.254.0.0/16
All of the above are either private IP addresses that aren't routable on the Internet or used for other purposes and shouldn't be on the Internet at all. If traffic comes in with one of these IP addresses from the Internet, it must be fraudulent traffic.
In addition, other commonly spoofed IP addresses are whatever internal IP addresses your organization uses. If you're using all private IP addresses, your range should already fall into those listed above. However, if you're using your own range of public IP addresses, you need to add them to the list.
Implement ACLs
The easiest way to prevent spoofing is using an ingress filter on all Internet traffic. The filter drops any traffic with a source falling into the range of one of the IP networks listed above. In other words, create an access control list (ACL) to drop all inbound traffic with a source IP in the ranges above.
Here's a configuration example:
Router# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# ip access-list ext ingress-antispoof
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 224.0.0.0 31.255.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 169.254.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip any any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# exit
Router(config)#int s0/0
Router(config-if)#ip access-group ingress-antispoof in
Internet service providers (ISPs) must use filtering like this on their networks, as defined in RFC 2267. Notice how this ACL includes permit ip any any at the end. In the "real world," you would probably have a stateful firewall inside this router that protects your internal LAN.
Of course, you could take this to the extreme and filter all inbound traffic from other subnets in your internal network to make sure that someone isn't on one subnet and spoofing traffic to another network. You could also implement egress ACLs to prevent users on your network from spoofing IP addresses from other networks. Keep in mind that this should be just one part of your overall network security strategy.
Use reverse path forwarding (ip verify)
Another way to protect your network from IP address spoofing is reverse path forwarding (RPF)—or ip verify. In the Cisco IOS, the commands for reverse path forwarding begin with ip verify.
RPF works much like part of an anti-spam solution. That part receives inbound e-mail messages, takes the source e-mail address, and performs a recipient lookup on the sending server to determine if the sender really exists on the server the message came from. If the sender doesn't exist, the server drops the e-mail message because there's no way to reply to the message—and it's very likely spam.
RPF does something similar with packets. It takes the source IP address of a packet received from the Internet and looks up to see if the router has a route in its routing table to reply to that packet. If there's no route in the routing table for a response to return to the source IP, then someone likely spoofed the packet, and the router drops the packet.
Here's how to configure RPF on your router:
Router(config)# ip cef
Router(config)# int serial0/0
Router(config-if)# ip verify unicast reverse-path
Note that this won't work on a multi-homed network.
It's important to protect your private network from attackers on the Internet. These three methods can go a long way toward protecting against IP address spoofing. For more information on IP address spoofing, read "IP Address Spoofing: An Introduction."
Is IP address spoofing a major concern for your organization? What steps have you taken to protect the company? Have you used RPF? Share your experiences in this article's discussion.

I've had issues before with upgrades and now I was skeptical of doing the latest upgrade.
10.7.1..... **** I've got the latest ios and it's messed my contacts up. Sticking all emails and removing some business contacts numbers so it's been a night mare to run for the last week or so. I don't even see which is important calls or not I just get "no number."
Anyone know a work around or must I wait for the next "upgrade/fix"?
Andrew1. Purchase your new hard drive and an external enclosure.
2. Put your new hard drive in the external enclosure.
3. Connect the external hard drive to your mac (FW or USB).
4. Use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to clone your internal drive to the external drive.
5. Take the new hard drive out of the external enclosure.
5. Open your computer, pull the hard drive out of your Mac.
6. Put the new hard drive into your mac. Close it up. Turn it on. It should boot right up.
7. Put your smaller drive in the external enclosure and use it for backup, extra storage or whatever. -
I've installed 10.8.1 on new MBP w/ retina display. Fully charged battery shows 8 hrs at 100% then drops to 7 hrs after only 1/2 hr of use. I was hoping that 10.8.1 would have fixed a obviously well publicized defect.

Sorry pal, not this time. The release notes for 10.8.1 do not discuss anything about battery issues. I do know Apple is aware of the problem thought and are working on a fix, hopefully in the forthcoming 10.8.2. -
CS6 Offset filter not working as expected
I've been using the offset filter for years to create seamless patterns with predictable results - I choose "Wrap around" and when I enter the distance the parts of the image that go off one side show up on the opposite side.
Now, with CS6, sometimes it works as expected and sometimes parts of the image go missing when (if) it shows up on the other side.
I've discovered that when this happens if I go to Image - reveal all that often times those lost pixels are outside of the viewable canvas. However, sometimes reveal all doesn't show anything new and the pixels have just been lost.
I know there are not extra pixels outside the canvas are before I run the filter so I don't understand how this is happening.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to prevent this from happening?
The only solution I have found is to select all and crop the image between every offset. Sometimes I'm offsetting 20-30 layers in a row (becaue you can't apply a filter to multiple layers at once, so annoying). Otherwise, if I'm not careful after I've offset everything I go to check the pattern and realize i lost parts of my image.
Thank youI'm having the exact same problem with my offset filter. Have you found a solution yet?
Edit: I have figured it out.
The problem is that the layer your are applying the offset filter to has white/transparent pixels that extend beyond the document size. What you have to do is "select all" and crop the image to the size of the document and make sure to "delete cropped pixels" as Noel said.
The filter IS working correctly, however it's wrapping empty pixels, not what we expected. -
On my virtual machine with Windows 7 32-bit and internet Explorer 11 I was testing a webpage with an old Java applet which is hosted on one of our servers. I opened the page and got the Java message 'Application blocked by security settings'. I added the
website address to the Java Exception Site list because the applet doesn't meet the
new security requirements for RIAs in Java 7u51 and later. When I reloaded the page I could run the applet after I accepted Java security warning and started the applet. During the testing of the page I suddenly noticed the EMET 5.0 message "EMET detected
ASR mitigation in iexplorer.exe Component: Java(TM) Platform SE binary".
This reminded me that I installed EMET 5.0 on this machine. I thought that I should have seen this EMET reporting message sooner because the website did not belong to the trusted site zone. Also I realized that EMET should have prevented the loading
of Java altogether the first time and therefore the Java message 'Application blocked by security settings' and the Java security warning also should have been blocked too!
I added "*.server1.company.com" to the trusted site zone and did some more testing....
With the site in the trusted site zone I tested with different ASR settings but the results were not what I expected. The ASR setting 'Internet Zone Exceptions:' is set to "Local Intranet; Trusted Sites" so the ASR mitigation should not have been
triggered. When I checked all the other zones exceptions the ASR mitigation is still triggered. The ASR setting 'Internet Zone Exceptions:' doesn't seem to work!
When I unchecked all the zones (no exceptions) in the ASR setting 'Internet Zone Exceptions:' Internet Explorer shows a message that the page you are viewing requires Java and EMET shows the ASR mitigation message. After clicking OK I get a UAC prompt for
the Internet Explorer add-on Installer (to install Java I guess).
When I disabled ASR for iexplore.exe the webpage and the Java applet started normally.
When I was writing this post I tried to reproduce the behavior that Java is started and the ASR mitigation is detected later on. I removed the site from the trusted site zone and cleared the cache for internet explorer and Java. After I restarted the computer
and logged on I could not reproduce the behavior!
Then I noticed that the webpage always did belong to the Intranet zone (based on "*.comany.com") and the ASR mitigation for iexplore.exe should not have been triggered! I realized that EMET first did work as expected and the Java applet was allowed
to start (after I added it to the Java Exception Site List) and that suddenly EMET detected the ASR mitigation for iexplore.exe for a website in the local intranet zone (and later also in the trusted site zone)....
The events in the application event log also are different and don't always show the web address and url zone:
EMET detected ASR mitigation in iexplore.exe
ASR check failed:
Application : C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
User Name : COMP\USERNAME
Session ID : 2
PID : 0x109C (4252)

Has anyone experienced this strange behavior too?
W. SpuYou may not know, but there are no AppleStores in Russia. And there are no Apple genuine service, only representatives. This is the first you need to know. The second thing is here law says that if service can't fix item it should be returned to store.
I will try to call AppleCare tomorrow, but i think there still will be no result. -

Extract Pages- and the Split- not doing what I expect them to
I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
Appreciate any pointers on this.
Trying to write a JSX to run in AI but struggling so far. Thread for AI solution started here: AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboardsI don't expect mind reading but I'l settle for careful reading
I tried to explain how pages and artboards are qualitatively different objects only to be told they are the same thing and that's all I needed to say.
I tried to explain that opening the very same file in Illustrator showed a lot more objects than it did in Acrobat. You probably don't remember because you breezed over something that you didn't think you needed to know because you were, at each stage, a step ahead of me (slow down already!).
From my second post:
I can't remember if Splitting gave enumerate files or the one file but either way ALL the artwork was in the enumerate files if they got made [.…] I ended up saving as CS3 .ai files which gives a Save artboards to seperate files option and, unlike the artboard range option on Save As PDF, it actually works.
From my third post
An artboard is not a page as far as Acrobat and Illustrator apps are concerned. I was trying to highlight the distinctly different way the two apps handle them. I can watch a one page with just one shape document in Acrobat become a 20 artboard, 40+ objects layout in Illustrator. Same document interpreted as one Page in Acrobat and 23 artboards in AI.
I was on this forum because even a manual Document Menu> Split… command is not doing what I expected with the AI generated 23pp PDF file. I expected the 23 individual 'artboards' and content to each make a separate file.

I don't remember you mentioning that you re-imported the PDF files into Illustrator. This is an important detail. You also posted to an Acrobat scripting forum and never said you were not interested in an Acrobat Script. You also never explained the problem you were seeing. You were never clear.
Covered that but note Illustrator doesn't import PDF files. .ai .eps and .pdf are all native files for Illustrator and just open, sometimes with an additional dialogue to choose a page from multiple pages. It imports .dwg, .svg and that sort of thing relying on translator plugins. This is the fourth time I'm saying I should have posted in Acrobat Win or Mac not scripting, apologies I was scripting when I made OP and probably frustrated. You were more clear it's true, clearly ignoring what I was getting at in each post re artboard cf. page objects.
You see, in a PDF file each page has it's own content stream, i.e., a stream of vector graphics operators. Graphics can be drawn anywhere in the coordinate space, but the page view is clipped by a crop rectangle. So graphics can exist in the stream, but never be visible to the user because they are outside the crop. I get the impression that in Illustrator the Artboards all exist in a single coordinate space? And that the conversion to PDF places this entire coordinate space into a single content stream. Then each page would be a different crop of the same content stream. If this is the case then I believe there are PDF optimization operations in Acrobat that would fix your problem by removing all content outside the crop.
Yeah I've hacked lots of PDF files in AI. They use more than one clipping rect per page from memory. Correct, the artboards are defined in a single co-ord space it would seem — artboards are discretely and independently located on the document canvas and can even overlap each other. Yes those operations might work, I never though of that, I came across an Illustrator based solution early on in this thread. There's no conversion going on in Acrobat though I think, the file stays native PDF from AI to Acrobat and back to AI. As I've noted it's the way Acrobat displays or parses the data that in effect hides all the 'off-page' objects but open the same file in AI and it's all still there.
You know, we can't read minds, you actually have to explain what it is you need.
I didn't know it, but I needed to get a confirmation on the artboardRange property bug in Illustrator CS4 and/or a confirmation that artboards are not treated as page objects, and I ended up having to lecture you on something you may have no interest in, sorry if I've been a pain. This is part of bigger bug elsewhere that I've been trying to get resolved or around on and off for a month. Every turn another bug, it gets confusing and frustrating at times -
Message says "there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected."
Any suggestions on what else to do??All - Thanks for the information.
I am receiving the same error, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Thought I found the answer in your replies above. However, I cannot find the "Apple Software Update" program either from Start -> All Programs or the Control Panel. I am running Windows XP, Service Pack 3. I would appreciate any additional guidance you have. -
I have attempted to upgrade my iPad which is necessar to downloan an app I want (My Radar). The iTunes on my computer will not process the upgrade of 10.5 without message: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contract your support personnel or packae vendor." ..... Little old lady needs help, my iTunes "appears to be 10.5 on my PC; however, will not upgrade my iPad. I have BitDefender as the "protector" on my PC if that is the issue.

When Upgrading on my laptop from iTunes 10.2.11 to 10.5.0 the message I get is: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or pacakge vendor.
After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -
