Now I understand the reason for very large screen monitors
I now understand why many people want to buy the new very large screen Macs. I have always loved my 17" flatscreen iMac G4 and since the picture itself is the same and the only thing that changes is the real estate around the picture, I always felt that getting a larger monitor would be an exercise in self-indulgence.
Well, now I see that all of the surrounding real estate would be very useful for putting folders, documents, pictures, etc on the screen and having them visible and accessible. For someone making a webpage, and I imagine also for making iMovies, which I will soon do for my website, a 19" or larger screen would be VERY helpful. But when a person buys a new computer, then all of that information has to be transferred....... and that is enough to make a person stick with the 17" monitor (that and the price of a 21").

Have you tried using Exposé to make that smaller
screen more expansive? You can drag from one window
to another with an Exposé transition in between.
While not a replacement for a larger screen, it does
help when I need it.
Ken, I've had Tiger for about a week and the only things I've been working with are iWeb and iPhoto! Later I will explore Exposé. It sounds like they were trying to help us out and that's good.

The reason for very little viruses on MACs
As far as I know, there are very few viruses that are spread through the internet that cause harm to a mac. I'm going to purchase an macbook within a couple months and was just curious what it has in terms of virus protection, if any. Are there just not many viruses made to attack OSX or does the OS have that high quality of virus protection? Any other details would be appreciated. Thanks
I disagree with that assessment.
Consider hackers who write viruses to be thieves. A thief is not going to try stealing $1000 from a bank safe deposit box if he/she knows there is $1000 in a padlocked gym locker.
It is very difficult to do anything valuable with a Mac OS X exploit, even when a vulnerability is discovered. You can't take over the overall system and turn the Mac into the hacker's robot. You can't create malware that self-replicates to other Macs. You can't modify the system without Mac OS X requesting admin user authentication. You can't even trick the user into running a trojan without Mac OS X flashing up a warning about running program "abc," which was downloaded from the Internet, for the first time. It's just not worth the effort...
Windows is the low-hanging fruit; that's why it's the target of hackers. It's not because of market share, so the threat of Mac OS X viruses will not suddenly increase because Mac OS X market share is increasing. -
Is it best to upload hd movie to iPhoto or iMovie? iMovie seems to store the movie in much larger files - presumably this is preferable as a larger file is better quality?
Generally it is if you're comparing identical compressors & resolutions but there's something else happening here. If you're worried about quality degrading; check the original file details on the camera (or card) either with Get Info or by opening in QuickTime and showing info. You should find the iPhoto version (reveal in a Finder) is a straight copy. You can't really increase image quality of a movie (barring a few tricks) by increasing file size but Apple editing products create a more "scrub-able" intermediate file which is quite large.
Good luck and happy editing. -
How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.
If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

Grid Control Architecture for Very Large Sites: New Article published
A new article on Grid Control was published recently:
Grid Control Architecture for Very Large Sites
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/havewala-gridcontrol.htmlOliver,
Thanks for the comments. The article is based on practical experience. If one was to recommend a pool of 2 management servers for a large corporate with 1000 servers, what that would mean is that if 1 server was brought down for any maintenance reason (for eg. applying an EM patch), all the EM work load would be on the remaining management server. So it is better to have 3 management servers instead of 2 when the EM system is servicing so many targets. Otherwise, the DBAs would be a tad angry since only 1 remaining managment server would not be able to service them properly during the time of the maintainance fix on the first management server.
The article ends with these words: "You can easily manage hundreds or even *thousands* of targets with such an architecture. The large corporate which had deployed this project scaled easily up to managing 600 to 700 targets with a pool of just three management servers, and the future plan is to manage *2,000 or more* targets which is quite achievable." The 2000 or more is based on the same architecture of 3 managment servers.
So as per the best practice document, 2 management servers would be fine for 1000 servers, although I would still advise 3 servers in practice.
For your case of 200 servers, it depends on the level of monitoring you are planning to do, and the type of database managment activities that
will be done by the DBAs. For eg, if the Dbas are planning on creating standby databases now and then through Grid Control, running backups daily
via Grid Control, cloning databases in Grid Control, patching databases in Grid Control and so on, I would definitely advise a pool of 2 servers
in your case. 2 is always better than 1.
Regards,
Porus.

What are the reasons for disabling the saving of data in a PDF?
I seem to have had more than my share of encounters lately with PDF files that have editable fields but have their data saving capability disabled.
In some of these situations this has been an absolutely maddening inconvenience.
When I attempt to bring this to the attention of whomever's responsible I get brushed off.
One person's response was: Actually the majority of the PDF forms I have are Adobe reader and you cannot make changes electronically at all. The reason for this is to make sure that the documents are not altered in any way. The <companies creating the PDFs> must make sure that changes are not being made to their forms.
I just don't understand that. How is entering and saving data 'altering' a PDF?
Is this just bone-headed bureacracy, an urban legend, or is there some fundamental practical matter I am not aware of?Saving a filled-in form has always been disallowed with Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader. Though there are a few exceptions...
History lesson:
Forms features were first introduced in Acrobat 3. As you might imagine, a number of folks wanted to be able to save filled-in forms using Acrobat Reader. Since this functionality simply was not a feature of Reader, it was not possible. If you wanted to save a filled-in form, you needed to use Acrobat (Exchange).
Upon recognizing the potential market for a product that they could sell, Adobe developed and released Acrobat Business Tools, which was a version 4 product. It was positioned between Reader and Acrobat, was reasonably priced, and allowed users to save filled-in forms, apply digital signatures, and add comments. Unfortunately, this was marketed poorly and did not achieve commercial success.
The next iteration was a similar product named Acrobat Approval, which was a version 5 product. It too could save a filled-in form, but was in some ways more limited than Business Tools, and suffered a similar fate. That is, it was not a market success. It was however distributed for free to US taxpayers on the IRS tax products CD-ROM.
The next idea from Adobe - which was a good one - was to provide for a means of embedding usage rights in a PDF document. These rights would allow Reader to do things it normally would not be able to do, such as saving a filled-in form, adding comments, importing/exporting form data, creating new pages using templates, connecting to databases and web services, etc. At first, the only way to enable these usage rights was with an expensive product from Adobe, so the potential was initially not realized.
With the release of Acrobat 7, Acrobat users were able to add some usage rights, such as commenting. While this was a welcome addition, folks still wanted to be enable forms to be saved with Reader. Finally with the release of Acrobat 8 Pro, users were able to enable forms to be saved with Reader, but it came with licensing restrictions. In short, if the licensee distributed the form for more than 500 recipients, the licensee could use data from no more that 500 copies of a particular form that was returned to them, including hardcopies. This was great for forms used inside of an orginization, but not so great for forms that needed to be used by the general public. Still, it was a very useful feature for a majority of businesses for internal forms, the vast majority of which have fewer than 500 employees.
Acrobat 9 or 10 didn't change things. Adobe still wants to capitalize on this market, which certainly is not a bad thing for Adobe and their stockholders. The US IRS forms have long been saveable with Reader because they licence Adobe Reader Extensions, which provides revenue for Adobe.
Note that some third-party PDF viewers allow users to save filled-in forms whether or not the documents have usage rights. Such software has a different marketing model than does Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and rides the coattails of Adobe by taking advantage of the popularity of PDF forms. -
How To Get rid of Exponential format in datagridview when the number is very large
When the number is very large like :290754232, I got 2.907542E +08. in datagridview cell
I using vb.net , framework 2.0.
how can I get rid of this format?
Thanks in advanceshould I change the type of this column to integer or long ?
The datagridview is binded to binding source and a list ( Of).
Mike,
I'll show you an example that shows the correct way to do this and a another way if you're stuck using strings in exponential format. The latter being the "hack way" I spoke about Friday. I don't like it, it's dangerous, but I'll show both anyway.
In this example, I'm using Int64 because I don't know the range of yours. If your never exceeds Int32 then use that one instead.
First, I have a DataGridView with three columns. I've populated the data just by creating longs starting with the maximum value in reverse order for 100 rows:
The way that I created the data is itself not a great way (there's no encapsulation), but for this example "it'll do".
Notice though that the third column (right-most column) isn't formatted at all. I commented out the part that does that so that I could then explain what I'm doing. If it works, it should look like the first column.
The first column represents an actual Int64 and when I show the code, you can see how I'm formatting that using the DGV's DefaultCellStyle.Format property. That's how it SHOULD be done.
The third column though is just a string and because that string contains a letter in it, Long.TryParse will NOT work. This is where the "hack" part comes in - and it's dangerous, but if you have no other option then ...
You can see that now the third column matches the first column. Now the code:

Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off

I recently upgraded both Pages 09 (I believe) and went to OSX 10.9 Maverick .... now I am unable to send a pages document to a friend on gmail. Google rejects the message and attachment with the following explanation -
The reason for the problem:
5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential\n5.7.0 security issue.Same Problem here
IWORKS 09 pages, keynote, numbers does not send in MAIL (mac) because of "This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue"
its a problem not only on GMAIL but also Live, Hotmail, Yahoo, and other services...
The problem is that gmail and others haved yet accepted the latest iworks 09 files. its a problem that apple can ask then to fix but its up to the gmail and others to fix it.
Solution!!!:
1 - Send it by exporting to office files
2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
3 - Command P and save as PDF
4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
So you can still send them but have to take a bit more of your time
i hope you understand my english is not optimal
And if you have any questions feel free to ask me -
How to find out the reason for blocking locks?
PB Application try to create data in ASE 12.5. With this operation, there are sql, sp, trigger involved. Most of the it is okay. With lock of sleeping or sync sleeping lock. User wait for a short time to get the result.
but some time, there are blocking lock.
If spid for the app is 1. then looks like this app also generate another spid, say it is 2. and 2 is blocking by 1. spid 1 holding lock!
then all user is frozen because of spid 1 holding lock!!! How to figure it out the reason for blocking locks?Thanks, Mark. Yes, sp_lock, sp_who, ... are common tool I used.
I found out one case like:
I have a SP which call a View for data.
When I run this SP, suppose the sipd is 1. then it will create another spid 2 because of access view and it gone very quick. This cause spid 1 block spid 2 within a short time.
If the are many user run the app, the app will be frozen and everyone is waiting. Finally it release, no dead lock, but the performance is not acceptable.
That why I have this question. -
How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?
How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?
What web site, or what phone number can we call to suggest creating a VLDB OCE certification.
The largest databases that I have ever worked with barely over 1 Trillion Bytes.
Some people told me that the results of being a DBA totally change when you have a VERY LARGE DATABASE.
I could guess that maybe some of the following topics of how to configure might be on it,
* Partitioning
* parallel
* bigger block size - DSS vs OLTP
* etc
Where could I send in a recommendation?
Thanks RogerI wish there were some details about the OCE data warehousing.

How can i get to know what is the reason for implausible meater reading?
Hi All,
I am new to this SAP -ISU.
can any body tell me how can i get the reason for implausible meater reading.
my requirement is to get the unbilled meters becasuse of unrealibility of meter reader.
here what i understood is if meater reading is not in a position to bill so it means meater reading may be in implausible state. so i want to know the reason for implausible meater reading so that i get the meters which are not billed because of unreliasility of meter reader.
in which table these reasons get store.
if any body knows about these please reply me ASAP.

4. and in that block i also added one line with test like... following...
" NOTE: PLEASE ENTER THE ..... VALUE..." Like this.... just for to give direction...
so these are the steps i taken to add new field to my screen... but here i am geting error ... while entering the value in that field and press any push button.... including back in that screen... like....
"INVAILD FIELD FORMAT (SCREEN ERROR)"
.... ANY BODY TELL ME WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS ERROR... COMMONLY???
THANK YOU,,,
NAVEEN..hi naveen,
there can be problem from ur layout side.
Goto SE51. in Layout editor make sure that the type in screen and in TOP Include is same.
