Penalties for posting in wrong forum ?

Wouldn't it be nice if we could give a penalty (negative Duke Dollars) to those people that post there issues in the wrong forum?

The BBC has a knowledge game show called "The Weakest Link" ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/weakestlink/ ) where players must vote against each other every round until two players remain.
But then again, a forum is not a fighting pit but a place for sharing knowledge.
Maybe this forum is the wrong forum for my post indeed, but I noticed that this forum attracts a lot of wrong addressed posts. (The name of) this forum seems to attract newbies that haven't heard of Generics in the sense of JSR14.
Come to think of it, since we are dealing with newbees we should not be too harsh on them and should guide them to find the right place for their question. I posted a request in an appropriate forum: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=10&thread=501625

  • Sorry if I'm posting in wrong forum - Toast 10 video conversion...slow

    I appologize for posting in this forum, but I cannot find a "Toast" forum. I am using a 12 core MacPro. I use Toast 10 to convert movies onto DVD. It takes hours to convert a DVD in certain formats. Does anyone have a better idea of software to use? Thanx in advance.

    A Toast Forum would of course be on the Roxio website.

  • Sorry for posting a wrong question Loading multiple files!!

    Sorry for posting a wrong question Loading multiple files!!
    As per my understanding 
    Sorry for posting a wrong question Loading multiple files!!
    As per my understanding only a standard Dat file can be compared with one single dat file.Because Eacg dat file will be containing its own values. So multiple files cannot be compared.
    Am assuming dat files containing time(s) and acceleration values(g). G value for each file differs.
    Thanku!!

    Hi Rash.patel,
    I'm still not sure I follow you.  When you say "Dat" file, do you mean the DIAdem 8.x standard file with the *.dat header and usuall a *.r64 binary file or two that it references, or do you mean some other specific data file with the extension *.dat or do you just mean a generic data file?
    DIAdem can certainly load multiple files into the Data Portal at the same time, so you must be referring to either a limitation of the "*.Dat" file you're talking about or correcting yourself that all the data you want to compare turns out to be in one "Dat" file.

    Thank you

    I think only the moderator would be able to move a thread.

    Just to check one possibility, the playlists in which you're having problems aren't Smart Playlists, are they? Smart Playlists can be identified by the purple icon with the "gear" symbol; manual playlists are blue with a note symbol. You can't manually rearrange items in a Smart Playlist.
    This may not be the case for you, but I wanted to eliminate that possibility before we look at other options.
    Regards.

    I upgraded to ipod version 1.2.2, now after ejecting the ipod, I have no music listing on the ipod. Setting/About shows my capacity 27.8 gb and available 4.1 gb but still no listings in Music, Playlist, artist, albums or songs. When I reconnect the ipod, everything is there... Any ideas?

  • [ETA: posted in wrong forum, sorry! will repost in relevant forum] reading samples: critical section atomicity?

    Hello all,
    I have the following situation:
    - one thread (T1) is constantly reading samples from a NI USB 9229 in a local buffer and copying them an array A (44100Hz)
    - another thread (T2) is waiting for a command and subsequently copying a batch of 44100 samples from A to a local array variable and doing some computation with them
    - array A is protected in a critical section (T1 and T2 enter the critical section when working with A directly and leave it afterwards)
    How "atomic" is the reading of samples from the device in my array A? I.e., is it guaranteed that the critical section protection on A means that by the time T2 accesses A, T1 has finished writing 44100 samples in it?
    Or do I have to register with DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent() a callback which 1) reads 44100 samples, 2) notifies T2 that the batch is complete and available?
    Thank you in advance!

    As far as I can understand the situation, the answer should be 'yes': the array is protected until you leave the critical section.
    But could I suggest an alternative, perhaps simpler approach?
    If you configure a thread safe queue of 44100 elements which discards old elements, with T1 that fills it on top, T2 can freely read from the queue without disturbing T1, having available the most recent set of data in any moment.

  • Wrong forum I know but I don't know where to post this

    I have two accounts here.
    I created one when I had a PC and an ipod
    When I received my macbook I created another account.
    Both accounts use the same email address
    If I log in with my one username I am shown questions to do with ipods (that's when I had the PC and downloaded itunes for the ipod)
    . If I log in with my email address I am shown questions I've posted about my macbook since receiving it at christmas.
    Both accounts use the same email address and password and yet neither account shows both acct questions.
    Is there any way to merge both accounts together.
    I know this is the wrong forum for this question, but can't find any link to email apple directly and get this fixed up.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi whyper!
    Unfortunately there is no way to merge the accounts. Just choose one that you prefer to use for everything.
    And this is the appropriate Forum to post this issue!

  • I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!

    Hello all,
    Forgive the slight mis-placement but.. I'm looking to move my Mail from my desktop Mac Pro to my Macbook Pro! Can anybody advise the best method that will maintain the current email archive and listings, thus being no change whatsoever once moved to the Macbook?

    Not sure what you are talking about? If the post, which I did not see, was posted in this forum (Mail and Address Book) then it was the correct forum. Your saying there was no forum for Apple Mail would probably have not helped get a reply.
    The correct and simplest method to move is to transplant both the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library from the one Mac to the other.

  • Am I posting on the wrong forum?

    Posted my question 24 hrs ago and bumped it every 4 hrs or so
    but no response. If my question belongs somewhere else that's fine,
    but does anyone have any suggestions for where I should post?

    In addition to the advice about Easter and all:
    - This is a volunteer forum. None of us get anything for
    posting here.
    - Most of the answers come from the NNTP side of the forum.
    Bump posting
    is, at best, annoying to those of us on that side of the
    forum, and will
    get you ignored fairly quickly. If you feel a need to repost,
    at least
    wait a day or two.
