Option for quick readers

Hi all,
I'm searching fora good solution. Basically, our learning programmes have a voiceover feature and some of the content on each slide appears in sync with the voiceover. This causes problems for those who don't have access to speakers and are reading at a quick pace, or those who just choose not to have the voiceover active.
So what I'd basically like to do is have a way for those who are reading without the voiceover to see the end of each slide which have all the content available.
I've come up with two solutions so far:
The first is to allow the user to skip to the end of each slide by click 'Next' using the go to frame advance action. The downside to this is that it is a lengthy process and there is a margin for error. But it looks good when it works.
The second option is just to include the playbar. Which is easy to implement but doesn't look great.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Cheers
Mike

Include the playbar. It's simpler, less maintenance over time, and has a lot more useful functionality that make it well worth any perceived lack of visual appeal you may feel.
Including the playbar skin, also enables you to use CC text and control its appearance via a CC button. (The alternative is to create your own CC text captions etc. More hassle.)

Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?
I can deselect it with the magic wand but not with the quick selection. Any ideas?

I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.

How to include the option for people to download adobe reader in an email campaign?

We need to attach some terms & conditions as a PDF in our mails (sending to a few thousand people), but would like to include an option to download adobe reader to read the PDF if they haven't already got one.
Is this a simple 'link to download page' or is there a widget/code or something that already exists for this? Just to make it quick & simple for email readers
Many thanks in advance!

How to create a custom symbol for quick inserts

I have found it extremely tedious to recreate statistical symbols over and over when it appears to be an unnecessarily lengthly process, when many stats students are in need of these characters and we have such a huge database of other less-used symbols in the database.
Isn't there some easy way to simply add symbols (e.g., D-bar, Null Hypothesis, t obtained, etc) that don't already exist in the special characters list?
OR is there just a way that we can create the symbols we need and add them to our favorites for quick insertion? This seems rather unwise, since so many users are looking for the same symbols, but it's a start...
Thanks for your help!

I appreciate both of your responses. From what I can tell, MathType would be awesome, but I'd rather not have to pay for additional software when it seems to be a feature built in to Pages, as it is for Word. I've always experienced superior software from Apple when compared to Microsoft, but in this case I have to say I'm disappointed.
However, I did read on a different discussion board that there is the Equation Editor Application built into the Apple Suite, and I was able to use it, albeit it is definitely not as user friendly as Word's insert function for equations, right on the toolbar.
I have tried creating a pages document where I actually spent the time creating these symbols, hoping I'd be able to copy/paste and that isn't as simple as I had hoped, either. Especially because items from Equation Editor can't be copied from one pages to another...why this is so is beyond me.
I will try the keyboard shortcut option, though! Great idea!
t obtained is simply "t" with "obt" in subscript.
The formulas you've both posted here are awesome!
Does anyone know how to get MathType for free?
Thanks, again!

"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi,
In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
Database Cache" option for our application.
Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
above-mentioned approach:
1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
Database Cache" can be used)
2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
#CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
"For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
running? Please assist.
Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
regarding your questions:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
==> Seperate Installation
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
This explains the differences.
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
==> Please see above mentioned papers
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
==> Again ... ;-)
Kind regards

Manual override option for Unit selling price in Order line level.

In OM R-12
Our client wants manual override option for Unit selling price in Order line level.
But there is no solution available to fulfill this requirment. To be able to manually override the price on a Sales Order line you
must have defined a manual modifier that qualifies for the Sales Order line in question. Without a suitable manual modifier the price cannot be changed.
This is current standard functionality.
Anybody can give some suggestion/workaround to override selling price in Order header level without using the modifiers.
regards,

Hi Kashif,
I'm finding it little difficult to buy Oracle Support's feedback with regards to R12 functionality for direct List Price update without using any modifier (manual or whatever). After all it is Oracle's product and they should know better. But test results in Solution Beacon's Vision 12.0.6 instance (http://www.solutionbeacon.com/tools_r12vision.htm) and documentation updates in R12 (R12.0.4) OM user guide & implementation manuals potray a different picture.
After your last post, I did a test in Solution Beacon's Vision 12.0.6 instance with following details:
OM: List Price Override Privilege = "Unlimited Access" at user level
OM: Discounting Privileges = "None" at user level
No manual modifiers defined and Order status = "Entered"
I could display the "List Price" field from folder under Line Items >> Main tab, override the list price to a new value and save. The unit selling price showed the new value based on updated List Price as soon as I tabbed out of the list price field after overriding. After saving it showed the new selling price. _Please note that under Line Items >> Pricing tab there is another "List Price" field and that is not editable_. For such overrides "View Adjustments" (from Line >> Actions) will not show any adjustment details as it is a direct update of list price.
Also please note that, if "Enforce List Price" checkbox is selected for the order type, the list price cannot be overridden even if the profile option is set to "Unlimited Access".

+Note: Note: If any order line for an order has the Calculate Price Flag value equal to Partial Price or Freeze Price new order level adjustments will not be applied or allowed to be overridden. _The profile option OM: List Price Override Privilege controls your ability to override the unit list price. If you have this profile set to Unlimited, you may modify the unit list price by editing the current value displayed_. The original list price is saved in a hidden folder field, so you can display it if necessary+.

User Procedures
_A new profile option, OM: List Price Override Privilege controls whether or not you can update the List Price_. It is enabled and updated at the application, responsibility and user level. It is not user visible and updatable. The values include+:
- View Only: This is the default value. If set to this value, the current behavior is retained, which means unit list price field is protected.
- Unlimited Privilege: If set to this value, you can override the unit list price field from the main tab and immediately see selling price adjusted accordingly.
To use Override List Price:
+1. Navigate to the Sales Orders/Quick Sales Orders window.+
+2. Enter the header and line information, including the ordered item and quantity, then tab to the next field. The Selling Price and List Price display+.
+3. If the profile is set to Unlimited Privilege, you can enter a new list price in the List Price field. You can either proceed to the next line or save your work+.
+4. You can see the new, entered list price, and if there are automatic discounts applied, they will be based on the new list price+.
+5. If the folder has been modified to show the Original List Price, the original list price displays+.
+6. To change the List Price again, go to the list price field and enter a new value, replacing a previously entered value. If Audit Trail is enabled for List Price and a reason is required, a window appears to enter a reason and optional comments+.
Note: Subsequent overrides of the List Price, after the order line is saved, can be captured by Audit Trail, depending on the setup of Audit Trail (entered or booked state) and any processing constraints that have been set up.
In the OM Implementation Manual also there are notes related to this.

Best options for financial management

Almost every review I've read says that Quicken Mac is basically the black sheep step-child to Quicken for Windows, and that it pales in comparison.
Is Quicken Mac the more-or-less industry standard on OS X? What are other folks using? I've used Quicken for Windows in the past, as well as Microsoft Money, but am open to changing if Quicken Mac is as far behind the times as I hear it is.
dt

It's not "fully" compatible and there were a couple of minor issues, easily discovered and fixed. There is also some data which cannot be converted. The process is an export (from Windows) and import (to MAC) using QIF files. The instructions also list what can and cannot be converted. Here's a link to the instructions and the list:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance/mac-personal-finance.jhtml#
Look on the right side and you will see the link to the PDF file.
To answer your questions (as I have encountered them so far):
1) Didn't look at that since I've always used Quicken
2) I use the Web Connect option via BofA and the data downloads directly, without a problem. No need to use QIF, CSV downloads.
3) I converted both old and current bank accounts along with two active 401k accounts and a brokerage account.
4) Haven't checked
5) I use my bank's web site and web connect to download the data, haven't checked anything beyond that with the exception of my brokerage account. Like Windows, it is able to directly access (One Step Update) my brokerage data (TD Ameritrade). I don't; however, use the One Step Update with my bank. I believe that's an extra charge from my bank so I just download from their website directly into Quicken.
6) I haven't noticed any real differences between the two here, but my reports are rather limited.
7) Don't know about the Symbian-based OS option, but there is a dashboard Widget for quickly entering items into Quicken, without launching Quicken. I haven't used it yet though.
8) I track both 401k and my personal brokerage accounts. I don't do a lot of research/trending on them (mostly getting out of the playing the market myself and putting the money into my 401k to let the "pros" deal with it <G>), but I can track everything I was tracking in Windows.

Nope. Can't do that.
The best you can do is use Quick Develop to do a relative adjustment on a

Are there other options for renting and downloading movies?

I have watched movies downloaded from Apple a couple of time, but I really don't like the iTunes interface - my main complaint is that there is no way to filter movies so that I can quickly scan for rentals.
I rarely watch any movie more than one time, so I have no interest in buying a movie - I only want to rent, and it is a huge waste of time to hunt through iTunes movies one by one to see if I can rent it or not. It just not worth my time.
I don't know if Apple plans to fix this shortcoming or not, but until then, are there other options for downloading rental movies to watch on my MacBook Pro or my iPad? Online streaming is fine, and I use Netflix and others for that, but I would like to get movies to watch on airplanes and other places where I don't have an internet connection.
Thanks

"ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION" -- Urgent request

Hi All,
We use Discoverer 3.1.36.06 and are in middle of a 3i to 10g upgrade for Discoverer for a data warehouse setup. Our databases where upgraded to 10g from 9i and now we get the error message saying:
"ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION"
I got some very helpful info abt the prob from the link below.
Discoverer 3i Issue with 10.2.0.3 - ORA-02248
We are mid way through the 3i to 10g upgrade and just need a quick fix for the next 2-3 weeks while the upgrade is finished.
Does any one know if changing the NLS language and applying the post longon trigger on Database id's would help in resolving this connection issue temporarily.
Any advice is deeply appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited by: Paul S on Dec 15, 2008 3:01 PM Corrected the link

Hi,
There are two types of trigger you can use: database triggers and discoverer triggers. You probably want to use a database trigger.
If you are using an APPS mode EUL (ie. logging using Applications username/passwords) then you will be logging in as the APPS database user and the syntax is:
create or replace trigger APPS.disco_logon_trigger after logon ON APPS.SCHEMA
begin dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY'''); end;
If it is a database EUL and the database user is gl_inq then the syntax would be
create or replace trigger gl_inq.disco_logon_trigger after logon ON gl_inq.SCHEMA
begin dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY'''); end;

Where is the doc for xml task options for deploy and ojdeploy-build ?

I am a new user.
I tried using jdev help to find my answer, but got lost quickly in the zillions of manuals.
1) Where is the manual/doc for the xml task attributes/options for the Ant tags <deploy> and <ojdeploy-build>?
I am modifying an xml script that ojdeploy will call, but do not know what attributes/options are supported for these tags. I need to know whether an option such as failonerror exists, so that I can report a bug that <deploy> does not default to fail on error (or that <ojdeploy-build> ignores the error and continues with the script.
Followup questions:
2) How do I find the java code that implements the tags <deploy> and <ojdeploy-build>?
3) How do I report a bug on the implementation for these tags and propose a fix (assuming I can see the java source code)?

I guess I wasn't clear enough. What I tried to say was:
1) Where is the manual/doc for the xml task attributes/options [I meant to say attributes/elements] for the Ant tags [I meant to say tasks] <deploy> and <ojdeploy-build>?
I did not mean the ojdeploy command, but the Ant tasks <ojdeploy-build> and <deploy>.
The jdev help does not seem to provide the complete list of elements or attributes for these critical Ant tasks, though it has a few examples.
So far, it appears that <deploy> has been misdesigned and I cannot do what I want, which is to "failonerror" (failonerror="true" should be the default but the opposite is true and there is no attribute to change the setting).
You could consider this to be a bad flaw in Ant itself, that you cannot get the exit code from every Ant task (since they are java programs they do have an exit code), so when new tasks are implemented by folks who lack experience they may leave out access to this programming feature that is however implemented for a bunch of important core Ant tasks such as "java" or "exec". It would have been far more useful to make this a generic feature of all Ant tasks. Of course then folks would be asking for stuff like "fail if" or "fail unless" and where would it end? Maybe with a real programming language like TCL but in XML form.

Why a Windows option for Banner Printing & Not MAC?

I was told by Epson that MAC doesn't offer a Banner option for my Epson Printer, but that there is an option for the Windows platform. This seems strange to me, especially when MAC is supposed to be the better graphics machine.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Is it just a question of limited printer driver options that Apple offers?

I was told by Epson that MAC doesn't offer a
Banner
option for my Epson Printer, but that there is an
option for the Windows platform. This seems
strange
to me, especially when MAC is supposed to be the
better graphics machine.
It is not that Macs don't offer a banner option for
you Epson printer. Rather, it is the Epson printer
driver that doesn't offer this feature on the Mac
platform. There is a significant difference between
the two statements.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Is it just
a
question of limited printer driver options that
Apple
offers?
Apple does not write the printer drivers. Apple
includes many manufacturer's drivers with the
installation of Mac OS X, but Apple did not write
them. I do not know why Epson doesn't provide the
banner option you mentioned in your first post. Any
further statement would probably amount to
speculation and is not appropriate or permitted in
these forums. What I can state as fact is that many,
many software programs have more features in their
Windows versions than in their Mac releases.
[No one was able to answer my specific question so
I've made this one more general.]
As to your original question, I did a quick look on
VersionTracker and and found a freeware program Tiler that may be of help to you.

Matt,
Yes I do know that Apple doesn't write the drivers, however, they still provide the protocols & interface for both platforms. So it's hard to figure why Windows has a driver with a banner option while a MAC doesn't.
Nevertheless Matt, I do appreciate the heads-up about Tiler. If it works out, it will be a God-send for what I do.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Upload Speed Boost Option for Cable Plans

There have been multiple posts from other Bigpond users requesting higher upload speeds on their cable services on the Whirlpool Technology forums. It seems today with families sharing even a Telstra Ultimate Cable connection at home, doing various tasks such as uploading photographs and videos to social media, performing online backups, using cloud services, online gaming, video conferencing or any other upload intensive applications, it can quickly make an Ultimate cable connection quickly feel no so ultimate with only a 2.4 megabit upload speed. I'm suggesting the thought of providing another speed boost option for those with Telstra Cable services similar to what is already in place but with a higher upload speed (to align with Velocity?) and higher cost per month. This gives your customers the added flexibility of being able to pay for the option should it be needed and can be marketed to the customers appropriately also during signup. From a technological point of view the DOCSIS 3.0 technology used by the Telstra Cable network is more than capable of being up to the task of catering for higher upload speeds. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS I hope this suggestion is of use as I can see clear profitability gains for Telstra. Just by the introduction of a simple new product you will be able to keep more current customers happy and attract more in the process.

+1 to increase it by any amount. But I would be happy to pay an extra $10 per month for at least 10Mbps up. Purely for the benefits of online cloud storage to backup photos etc - a process that is painfully slow with most of the U.S. based cloud backup solutions. I can understand that part of the reasoning might be to prevent users from hosting web or ftp sites and the like, but without a static IP - it is not that feasible anyway (yes I know you can have dynamic dns services etc. but Telstra wouldnt be making it any easier without static IP's). For example: August 21, 2014 - Cogeco Cable Canada Enhances its High Speed Internet Service : The Turbo 20, and Ultimate 55 High Speed Internet package upgrade includes an upload speed increase from up to 2 Mbps to up to 10 Mbps, at no additional cost. The newly launched Ultimate 120 High Speed Internet package offers download speeds of up to 120 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps, as well as a monthly data transfer capacity of 425 GB. (Just do a search and replace on a few words in the above paragraph and feel the potential happiness!) I'd like to hear a response from Telstra.

SD card options for 11inch MacBook Air?

The 11 inch doesn't have an on-board SD Card reader, unless I misread the literature, so what's the best way to transfer the data from SD cards?
An SD card reader?
Is there a "Best option for the Mac" or should I simply search Amazon?
Thanks

there are 3 types of SD cards: normal (SD), fast (SDHC) and blazing fast (SDXC). The better the performance, the more readers and cards cost
Most macs come with SDXC card reader.
the SDXC reader can read SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, but they cost more
the SDHC reader can read SD and SDHC but not SDXC.
the SD reader can only read SD. they're the cheapest.
If you're going to buy high performance cards (SDHC or SDXC), you don't want to buy SD readers, as they'll be incompatible.
Hope this answers.
P.S. (the onboard SDXC reader isn't going to be much faster than a good quality SDXC reader, since even SDXC is slower than USB 3.0 technology)
