Laszlo notes Canada has the largest entry on list: chest swells with pride.
Laszlo notes he lives 400km from a decent shawarna (sic): chest sinks.Hahaha! Look out of front window to the right: ha! a Shoarma (sic) place,

Looking for a good book about threads
Hello all,
I am looking for a good book about threads.
I would like something which is both practical, but also provides some theoretical basis.
I am an experienced programmer, with some, but not much, experience with concurrent design.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.I found the "Java Threads" book by Oaks and Wong to be fantastic:

Hi vesa laukkanen,
It sounds like you're referring to an Adobe PDF Pack subscription. What process are you having trouble with? Are you trying to create PDF files, or combine them? Please give me a little more info about where you're running into trouble, and I'll do what I can to help.
Best,

Hi, here's something for the more experienced to ponder.
Hi, here's something for the more experienced to ponder.
As of the past week or two my service has been taking nose dives periodically.
The telephone service has also been affected. (noise and static like squeals)
This is not a new problem, it has been ongoing for three years.
I have repeatedly asked for a new pair (copper) to no avail.
We went the route of replacement modems, data rate changes, Verizon presidential appeals and the problem "seems" to correct itself with cooler weather in the fall.
I called repair service for the telephone just Friday and met with an understanding person on Verizon's end. She heard the noise on the line and listened patiently to my internet troubles. She assured me that she could schedule someone to fix the problem on Saturday, 6/16/2012 I thanked her and let it go for Friday.
This morning at about 9:00 AM I got a call from a Verizon representative, not about the problem, but rather about how the representative at repair service handled the call. I said the call handling was a ten on their scale. But when the question was asked about if I would recommend Verizon to someone, I had to ask that it could be repeated because of the noise on the line.
It's pretty obvious that I didn't give a good mark as the answer to that question.
But to the technical side of this to get people to ponder on this, here's my PRESENT Transceiver Statistics, copy and pasted for you to ponder....
Transceiver Statistics
Transceiver Revision A2pB020b3.d20h
Vendor ID Code 4D54
Line Mode ADSL_2plus
Data Path FAST
Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 358 747
Margin (dB) 16.0 9.9
Line Attenuation (dB) 62.5 38.3
Transmit Power (dBm) 15.5 12.4
( NO EDITING WAS DONE TO THE NUMBERS ABOVE, Formatting was done, adding spaces, to attempt to make it clearer to read. )
I did not make any rude or crude remarks, because I think I may be on a watch list as my last two messages were edited and then deleted. But the bottom line is that I am not a "happy camper".
Further food for thought; my filter is located in the demarcation box, from there to the modem is a home run with approved wire. An additional filter is installed after the "voice line" comes into the house from the demarcation box for the whole house.
Line to the pole is new, maybe three pair, I don't remember. Distance to the central office is about two miles, BUT there is some sort of device installed in the lines between here and there, according to what was said by previous repair personnel.
This is the third year with these problems.
Any thoughts?, anyone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks Mr. Smith,
I'll try and get back in after the dust settles and let you know how it goes.
If I can't, thanks again!

I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?
It's my iphone problem or itunes?It shouldn't take this long, something is wrong with your iTunes. Try this:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and do the sync again and if it is working now. -
I was using my IPAD this morning. Powered it down, then when I powered it back up, it said activation required.. but it would not accept my password. I hit skip and logged in fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Probably - if it happens again. Chalk it up to a fluke occurrence for now.
I get the message on my iPad that it can't connect to the iTunes Store - While I am in the iTunes Store or the App Store happily navigating from one tab to another.
You can try rebooting the iPad to "clear the cobwebs" but if it is OK now, I probably wouldn't be overly worried. Rebooting being holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. -
You think Apple will give us something for this?
Do you think Apple will give us something in return for this chaos? Like maybe a free game or something? I have read soooo many stories and man its pretty messed up. Ive read ppl saying that "apple did not force them to update" but when ur iPhone says "New Update Available - 2.0" and you've waited since January for this, then they say that it will be here in March, then they say June then finally July....what do you think? There are some innocent people who just updated and were victims of this. This really s u c k s i know. but do you think apple will give us something for this?
Some of you people are clueless. You act as if Apple is completely blameless. here's a newsflash for you: If a company makes a product available, they have a responsibility to the consumer that it works properly. That's the basic idea behind express and implied warranty laws. "Oh, but it's free...so you can't complain!" - It's not free, and you're not very smart. Apple provides software updates to keep consumers happy, and keep us using their products. it's built in to the cost of the iPhone. A cost of doing business, if you will. If it wasn't beneficial to them, why would they spend countless man-hours developing the code? because it's a happy, shiny world? Yeah, exactly.
"But no one forced you to download the update!" - And no one forced them to make it available before the infrastructure was ready either. It's not as if Apple is new to this game. They had issues at launch. And I don't know about your job, but at mine...if I know I'm going to have issues, I make dang well sure I've got my bases covered next time around, so I have ZERO repeats. and given the scope of their marketing, it's not like Apple can say "Hurr, we didn't know it would be so popular, hur hur.". -
My younger sibling was playing my Sims Free Play and Purchased something for $20.99 by accident, but it come up with error and the money has not yet be debited from my account and is on my recent purchases so im expecting the money to come out any minute.. Also what she purchased hasnt even come? Can i be refunded?
I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck. -
Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.
Windows XP user.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

My charger broke so I gave my sister the charger, and my iPod touch for proof. She took it to the apple store and traded it for an iPhone 5c. I was wondering if apple can do something for me so I could get my ipod back?
I have no idea what you meant by giving your sister your "iPod touch for proof". Proof of what?
The only way she could have traded it was recycling it for 10% off the cost of a new device but the Apple Store doesn't do this as far as I know for iPhones. You could take the receipt for your iPhone to the Apple Store and show it to the manager but you really need to solve this within your family. -
Apple should do something for the equipment stolen something like block it(them) and only activated by key words given to register the device on the apple's website
Tell Apple:

Doubtful that this would happen. Privacy laws would likely be tested with this.
No manufacturer does this. -
Why charged me twice for the same item? They have withdrew money from my bank account for the second time about half an hour later after the transaction was completed leaving me overdrawn.
Hi Benjamins,
I've checked your account—you have two ExportPDF subscriptions. One placed on October 20 2013, and the other placed on October 11 of this year. So, you were probably charged the auto renewal for the subscription placed in 2013, and then the new charge for this year's order.
Please Contact Customer Care so that an agent can help get things situated for you. There's no reason to have two subscriptions to the same service, so an agent can help you cancel one, if you'd like.
Best,

Warnings while compiling and something for the wish list
Just now and then when I try to compile one of my packages I get the following warning:
Warning(95,29): PLW-07203: Message 7203 not found; No message file for product=plsql, facility=PLW.
Of course, 95 and 29 are the line and column numbers for me to find the place of the warning. However I'm pretty sure there's something missing in my conf files in order the Raptor can pick the correct message from the files where Oracle store the globalization support (spanish is the language of my machine). Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?
By the way, something for the wish list: in Data Dictionary Reports I would love to see all the information related to OWI: you know: v$event_name, v$session_wait, v$session_event, v$event_histogram, etc. Maybe some GOOD reports to encourage everyone to study and learn the Wait Interface.
Thanks a lot.Actaully the message not found is an issue with the DB install. You should look on metalink for how to fix it.
