screws holes: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/fullimage.php?image=7420
I have seen this 2 holes placed at copper passive cooler system, just besides the memory, and at a height allowing to put a 80mm fan (I guess but not tried) just almost "touching" memory modules....
For me, it would be great since my Q6600 CPU use to be at nearly 50º with zalman 9700, and motherboard gives 45º usually...... memory is very hot... 4 modules of 2.0v kingstom hyperx 4-4-4-12 for 4Gbs........
Someone tried to put there a fan????????
Are these holes specially there to do that way??????
If you put a fan there, you would do it extracting air from memory modules, or just pushing air to them?????
Thanks!

2 screw holes? got picture?
isn't those 2 screw holes to mount the extended heatsink beside the DIMM?
mmm.......
I refer to this "supposed to be" screw holes, as they seems it to me at least...
http://img170.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screwholesef4.jpg
You talk about a "extended heatsink beside DIMM"..... I cannot find any documentation about an extended heatsink anywhere (maybe a bit blind, so, if you were so kind, can you please tell me something about it or maybe give a simple link for it?? I wish to refrigerate better my memory modules and chipset with my zalman 9700, and this holes just over there without any purpose (for me) are getting me crazy...
Also I tried to give airflow to the memory modules through an 80mm fan situated on the thermaltake shark chasis (Mc Giver wouldn´t do it better) and the result is Zalman 9700 is taking all the air from the fresh airflow of the new fan besides, resulting in cooler CPU, but hotter memory and chipset.... pfffffffffffffffff............

Simple question, help needed? Finder icons

In finder have lost the music folder on the left sidbar(the one beside 'pictures' and 'movies' etc..) how do i get this folder back with the nice default music icon?

Ribbs,
I should have paid more attention your original question.
Sorry for pointing out the obvious.
Removal and replacement of the Music Folder from the Sidebar on my system always results in the Treble Cleff icon representing the Music Folder. Seems like there might be some kind of cache or plist corruption problem with your system.
I would advise that you read, Maintaining Mac OS X and Running the Mac OS X maintenance scripts by Dr. Smoke for some troubleshooting tips.

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

Adobe Lightroom 4 - Some Questions / Help Needed

Hi everyone.
After advice from several experts, I've just purchased Adobe Lightroom 4. I've already got Photoshop CS5, but I was looking for something proper to organise my photos, plus I found Lightroom easier to do the sort of editing I am wanting to do. Now, I only really use photoshop for things like colour pops, or really in-depth editing. Anyway, I'm loving Lightroom so far, but there is some stuff I'm not very sure of, so I'd appreciate some help
1. Organising
Firstly, I'm not really sure how to organise. At the moment, I've just got lots of folders with random events in My Pictures on W7, so I might have a folder called April 11, which contains photos from that month but that might have been a wedding or an easter holiday or both. So it doesn't really work. \
I understand in Lightroom what catalogs are. But I know enough to know that I don't want to group mine into those, its getting too complicated. What I don't know though is the difference between a collection and a folder. Basically, I'm wanting to reimport and reorganise all my photos, so I want to put them into "events" as such like you can do on iPhoto on a mac, so I would have "France Summer Holiday 11" for example, or "Mia's Wedding". I'm not really sure on the best way to do this ...?
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures . When I go look at these photos in windows explorer which I know I have edited, it doesn't show any of the changes or editing I've done on them. Now I realise this is me being stupid, but why doesn't it? Supposing I then want to email that photo to a friend that I have edited? How would I do that? I don't want to have to open lightroom and export every single photo I edit? There must be a simpler way?
Likewise for backing up, because all my files are in subfolders within C:// My pictures / Lightroom / Pictures, to back up I was simply going to set up windows to copy that latter folder onto my external HDD everytime I plugged it in. This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.

Hi William,

I am not so sure if you understand *catalogs*.
You need a catalog, exactly 1 in my opinion. A catalog is a database. The Lightroom database, where records about your images are stored, including the pointers to your images, which are not inside a catalog! LR backups just does the backup of the catalog (i.e. a file ending .lrcat). You need to take care separately that your real images are backed up !
Inside your LR database the best way to organize is via collections - this will give you what you want with "France summer holiday 11" etc.
Folders are relatively unimportant, just storage buckets. They should be *handy portions*, I would prefer them with below 3000 images each, as there currently some bugs to those bigger ones.
Before you start with LR, you can organize your pictures in Mac Finder / WindowsExplorer.
Or you could do it with the help of LR, by copying your images over during import into the destination folders (and deleting today's folders afterwards after having verified that everything is fine).
A simple date-based structure will do, I'd recommend a root parent folder like "LR images", underneath one folder per year (\2010\, \2011\, \2012\...) and underneath them either
just one folder per month (LR can auto-create them for you)
or you create the folders in import dialog as e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD description of shoot", to have a mini-diary overview also in your OS.
Apart from that you create collections, either *dumb ones*, where you drag images into, or smart ones, where you specify criteria according to which they get auto-filled.
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself.

This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
LR will never overwrite your original photos.
You can save most of the catalog content into the xmp-part of the original photo, which is either a sidecar-file (.xmp) or part of the file format, like for DNG, TIFF, PSD, JPG. To do so you select the image in LR and hit <ctrl> s. Or you set it up for continuous update, which creates a lot of operations while you play back and forth in develop.
I do that on my own, typically twice per file: once I am done with develop, once I am done with keywording and other metadata update.
LR contains records about your images, i.e. a set of instructions how they are to be interpreted. That is all.
So of course you need LR to export the result of these instructions, which is actually pretty quick.
To backup your images you need to do that just once, plus you backup your LR catalog. Or if you save xmp to the files, you can do another backup once xmp is ready.
I would not consider this pointless. You just have to think that there are 2 places with data for your images: the images themselves and a database with interpretation instructions.
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
Yes, this is one of LR's beauties: you create a so-called *virtual copy*, which is just a 2nd record for the same original image file with different interpretation settings, like black-and-white, a different crop size, different development etc. You can have as many virtual copies as you like, and you'll see them as additional thumbnails.
Virtual copies are not saveable into xmp, though. There is another concept which is saveable into xmp: snapshots. but these are different states in develop history, and you do not see outside develop module that you have several.
If you export virtual copies e.g. to jpg one file per virutal copy will be created.
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.
ad 4: you use the library module, metadata panel to enter.
ad 5: you use the map module. Either you manually drop your images on a map, or you have a separate GPS track to load and have LR assign via matching time-stamps.
ad 6: like 4
ad 7: You don't need JPG from your camera, you can achieve better results viy LR from RAW. Yes, there are significant advantages as to editing headroom.
Overall, may I suggest my favorite learning material for LR? First watch Julieanne's Tutorial Videos.
Then go play and use Victoria Bampton's eBook or paper copy of her "Missing FAQs to LR4": http://www.lightroomqueen.com/books/adobe-lightroom-4-missing-faq/
Have fun,

P35 platinum RAID Question?

I'm moving from Opteron to quad core intel... and a friend of mine warned me of a few things...
First: Intel keeps part of its processor design to itself so that its chipsets bring more performance than others' chipsets like Nvidia....? so it's wise to go with intel chipset?
Scond: Intel chipsets have strange way of dealing with SATA RAID being emulated from IDE????? with same speed as IDE... does this apply to the new chipset p35????
Which is a better and more powerful board to get for a QX6700 processor: P6N diamond or P35 platinum? putting into consideration that the system will include 3 sata ii hdds in RAID 5 configuration???

There is no genuine lead here between chipset performance of Intel, Nvidia, ATI and even SiS. Of course, in most benchmark cases, you will see the new P35 Intel chipset is leading in most benchmark. But woulld you really feel that difference? For the LAN, maybe. For the RAID performance, maybe. But for RAM and stuff, probably not.
So, just pick the right, most stable board with the most stable chipset, and most stable BIOS.

A few simple questions i need help on please

i have an ipod mini. my computer crashed and i have a new computer. is there a way to upload my songs and lists to the computer? i have itunes 7.0.
second question. is there a way to upload only one or two songs to an ipod mini that is already loaded with songs, without uploading all the songs again. is the current info automatically overwritten so that i would end up with only the two songs on the ipod after uploading?
thanks in advance.
bob

is there a way to upload my songs and lists to the computer?
Maybe. You say your old computer crashed. Does that mean it doesn't run at all? Does it mean it hangs during the boot-up process? Does it mean the hard drive came to a crashing screeching halt? Without knowing more about the death of the old computer none of us can know whether the data is recoverable or not.
OTOH, you have at least part of your music data on your iPod. So with the help of third party software (check out your favorite download site) you'll be able to transfer your iPod's music and playlists to the new computer. If the iPod contains your entire music collection you are pretty much good to go.
Can you add only a couple songs to your iPod? Sure, after connecting it to your new computer you'll be told it is synced to another computer and asked if you want to sync it to this new one. Select cancel - no you don't want to sync it to the new one. After the iPod appears in iTunes select it and in the iPod preferences select manually manage. This will let you manually add or delete songs.

Simple Array Question - Help Needed!

Hey people,
I need a line of code that gets the maximum value out of an array.
the array is called LEVELS and contains values [1, 3, 4, 17, 3, 2, 4]. I need a line of code that creates a new variable called MAXLEVEL and finds the largest value within the array.
Thanks,
sean :)

Create a variable. Initialize it to the lowest possible value, like say Integer.MIN_VALUE.
Loop through your array.
For each element, see if it's greater than the current value in the variable. If it is, use it.
When you reach the end of the array, the variable now holds the max value.
How did you think you were going to do it?

Simple button help needed!

I want to make a simple round button that glows when you
mouse over it and depresses when you click it.
Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow
and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.
So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol
(Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first
button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2.
Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down
frames to get the effects I want.
I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It
works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then
I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!
Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!
I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8
Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same
technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple
Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!
The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what
I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!
What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow
button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?
All help appreciated!
Thanks
craig

I thought the nesting button situation might be the problem
BUT there is no other way to apply Filters to Up, Down, etc. Also,
a freaking tutorial book described that as a valid method, but
obviously it ain't.
I tried using movieclips as well but basically had the same
problem.
I mentioned LiveMotion 2 because that ancient program can do
easily what Flash Pro 8 seems incapable of.
What is the logic behind not allowing Filters to be applied
to simple graphics? It's absurd!
There's got to be a way...

Simple viewer help needed please

I need help with this exact problem please which was posted by Kirby on 9th Feb
I can't save into the idisk/web folder although I can copy the files over after they refuse to open (if that means anything)...
"This is for Old Toad. I checked out your demo site which is awesome. I read the tutorial,
Examples of SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter Slideshows (plugins for iPhoto)
ADDED USING HTML SNIPPET AND IFRAME
This was great but I am still running into a roadblock. The issue seems to be that in the URL that is given on your demo page...
http://web.me.com/youraccountname/slideshow folder/index.html
....it says to enter my account name (which I did).
I am uploading the simple-viewer folder to my iDisk using the Go menu but inside of the Web/Sites folder there is no folder called Slideshow Folder. So am I right in thinking that the URL has nothing to point too because that folder isn't there? Why isn't it there? And is there anything I can do to solve this? Is there another place the simple-viewer folder should be on my idisk?"

Hi:
When you create the simpleviewer slideshow with iPhoto's plugin there should be a folder created on your HD that contains the items seen in the screenshot below:
The folder was named simpleviewer because that's what I named it during the export from iPhoto. That's the same folder as I refer to as "Slideshow folder". It can be whatever you name it when exporting from iPhoto. Upload that folder to your iDisk/Web/Sites folder as shown below:
In the iFrame code use the following URL to the index.html file inside the simpleviewer folder:
http://web.me.com/YourMMe_AccountName/simplerviewer/index.html
That should do it.

Stupid Java Question (Help Needed!!!)

I have a piece of Java Code that dynamically builds a SQL statement (including VARCHAR2 columns). Oracle gives an error if my string has a single quote in it. I need to replace each single quote with two single quotes in Java, i.e. I need a Java equivalent of PL/SQL REPLACE function.
Java str.replace only replaces an individual character (see below).
String l_str = "O'Hara";
String l_str2 = l_str.replace('\'', '\'');
I need to replace "O'Hara" with "O''Hara". Any help is appreciated

Please don't post same question on both forums.

So the Compiling Problem starts at 05 it seems i cant
get Parameter Names with Strings... so what i want to do is...
type
Car1.PrintValue("color");
and it should print out red
i Know i could write
System.out.println(car1.color);
But i want to do it the other way...
a other thing would be to make
myVar = "car1.color"
and then run
System.out.println(myVar);
but these is also not working...
any idears?

KJKrum wrote i should not use the language this way...
what would be the right way for doing a job like this?You have a very simple example. Reflection which is what both threads suggest as a solution is complex and should be used with caution because of the performance and maintenance problems that can arise.
So one has to wonder, for such a simple problem, does it not suggest that perhaps your design is not correct and if you took another look at it you could come up with a solution that is more appropriate and leads to code with is much simpler.
I believe that was the intent of the suggestion.
For example if you really must access 'attributes' via a key then have you considered that perhaps you don't have attributes but rather 'properties'. And if so there is already a Properties class. And if the Properties class is a little to constraining then the Hashtable might also fulfill what you are trying do. Keep in mind that these depend on whether the best design for your project really requires accessing values via a string.

SIMPLE QUESTION - HELP!

This may sound like a stupid question, but I need help. I
click "open" and the window that shows up for me to choose a file

Audigy 2 Zs Platinum Install Procedure help needed

Namaste all, this is my first post and I am new to Creative products, as I might be the only person in Nepal with the Platinum package! I have an Intel 95 chipset motherboard with that sucky Realtek soundchip, so my brother gave me this Creative product he got from the USA. It looks grand, but the Quick Start confused me, it says to do the install of hardware and then when Windows finds the new hardware to cancel, and then install the Creative software from CD.
Well, from expierence with other hardwares this is not so good a procedure, as u get unknown devices if something goes wrong with the software install, and I know the disk is almost 2 years old. So I downloaded all the updates for SB350 on this site (a whooping 85+ megabytes) and my question is this:
Which software do I install first, the old or the new? And it seems to me it would be better to have drivers there first, or should I not be second guessing the Creative Engineers?
Can anyone tell me what exactally what to do? There is a ton of softwares in the package I can see, and I am wondering what to do now to prevent problems later.
Well, thanks and I look forward to hanging out in the forum to learn about my cool new sound package.
Jigs in Kathmandu

katman, yes i did, i can bring up mediasource from the creative volume icon in the status bar...player, organizer, Go! and Go! launcher. wow, way too much software...
So I am hoping the update makes all this stuff look better...does it's The Mediasource Go! is version 2.00.06 with a theme engine of V3.0.37...but the Organizer has an about screen that says Creative Media Source 2.02.05. I can't make sense of this but if I get the latest versions on this system at least I can evaluate and make some intelligent choices before i remove it
I really don't get the two icons, creative volume and Mediasource gO, on right click they both have almost the same choices!
Anyway, thanks for your help...what to do next? I am a freak about making sure all the drivers and software are the latest on my machines.
And now I found a hardware problem - or a user problem - how do you get line in 2 on the front of the dri've to work? Mine does not seem to....
thanks!

Few Questions (Help Needed)

Hi,
I had few questions regarding captivate 4. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it:
1) I created an eLearning project and it has some quiz sildes in them. So how do I collect the scores of the users who will go though that eLearning? ( I googled it but in most of the webpages they say just put a tick on report answers and also in the preferences enable reporting for this project) I tried using that but can`t see how to fetch the score for each users.
2) In the same eLearning I want to get feedback from the users who watch the eLearning. So basically I want a slide in which users can type in their feedback and then when they hit the submit button that feedback should be sent to a specific email. ( For this I tried using text box entry but all the text we enter in that comes in one line, we can`t press enter to change lines, also in the button I assign it to send an email to my lotus notes email id, but when I preview the project and click the button, it opens my lotus notes and it does not fetches what I have entered in the text box)

Simple Query Help Needed

I must not be in the right mode today, because this is giving
me a hard time...
I have a SQL Server database with 250,000 records. Each
record represents a medical visit.
Each record has 25 fields that contain patient diagnosis. A
visit may show one diagnosis, or it may show as many as 25. Any
specific diagnosis (250.00 for example) may appear in a field
called Code1, or a field called Code2.... Code25.
There are a total of about 500 patients that make up the
250,000 visits.
What I need is a report that shows each DISTINCT diagnosis,
and a listing (and count) of people that have been assigned that
diagnosis.
My thought is to first query the table to arrive at the
unique list of diagnosis codes. Then, in a nested loop, query the
database to see who has been assigned that code, and how many
times.
This strikes me as an incredibly database intensive query,
however.
What is teh correct way to do this?

The correct way to do this is to normalize your database.
Rather than having 25 separate colums that essentially
contain the same data (different codes), break that out into a
separate table.
Patient
patientid
Visit
patientid (foreign key referencing Patient)
visitid
Diagnosis
visitid (foreign key referencing visitid in Visit)
diagnosiscode
order (if the 1-25 ordering of diagnosis codes is important)
Once you correct your datamodel, what you're trying to do
becomes simple.
-- get all diagnosis codes
select distinct(diagnosiscode) from diagnosis
-- get a breakdown of diagnosis codes, patients, and counts
for that diagnosis
select diagnosiscode, patient.name, count(diagnosiscode) from
patient left join visit on (patient.patientid =
visit.patientid)
left join diagnosis on (visit.visitid = diagnosis.visitid)
group by diagnosiscode, patient.name
