Ping Pong Balls!
Yes! Someone described it!
I've upgraded to an iMac G5, and am passing my 600mHz Graphite onto someone else. When the Graphite was in my ownership, every time I started up, I heard one or two ping pong balls type sound, and everything started up hunky dory.
At the time, my HD was partitioned into 3 (15/15/10) with Panther on one and OS9 on another.
Now, I'm trying to get everything set up all virginal like for the hand-over.
Originally repartioned the HD into 2 (36/4) and reinstalled OSX on the larger, OS9 on the smaller. Transferred a lot of stuff from an old Rev B 233 iMac into the smaller partition for later use. Did Software updates and started hearing really strange sounds - like a constant arcing (though it didn't quite sound electrical).
Have repartitioned again the HD - 1 piece only. Now I'm hearing a LOT of the pingpong ball sound and startup and other operations sometimes are painfully slow (even shutdown). Have zapped PRAM (helped a little, it seems), but not perfectly. Is the HD on the way out?
www.iamnotamerican.com...
Every HD that I have heard that from has died, however partitioning may have a different effect.
I have an IBM HD that once was partitioned for use in my iMac years ago. It was a 5400 drive that would spinup and "yaw" (like a donkey noise) for each partition at boot. I soon replaced it however it is still alive for use in a USB enclosure for backup purposes.
So it may be on the way out OR in the process of booting it is going through the mounting of each partition to complete the boot. I would start backing up and be prepared for the worse should it later go sour.

Trying to make a Ping Pong Ball generate in random location
Hey guys and Gals,
im trying to make a pingpong ball, well 2 of them spawn in random locations so that it makes the game a little harder as of right now the ping pong balls spawn right next to each other and untill score 5-6 there right next to each otherI disagree with Caillen. If somebody is trying to learn a programming language writing a game is an excellent way of learning. In the constructor to the form (or form load function ) you can change the X,Y location of the ball(s). You also want
to make sure the two balls don't overlap. To make the programming simpler I would start the two balls at the same Y coordinate (or X).
See code below. I used a little clever programming to prevent the two ball from overlapping. The code assumes the left side of the panel x = 0. If it is not zero then add the X of the left side of the panel to the results.
int widthPanel = 10;
int diameterBall = 2;
Random rand = new Random();
int ball1X = rand.Next(diameterBall / 2, widthPanel - (diameterBall / 2));
//now get a random number that is space not taken up by ball one
int ran2 = rand(0, widthPanel - diameterBall);
int ball1Left = ballX - (diameterBall / 2);
int ball2X = 0;
if(rand2 <= ball1X)
ball2X = rand2;
else
int ball1Right = ballX + (diameterBall / 2);
ran2 -= ball1Left;
ball2X = ball1Right + ran2;

Motion Tracking Ping pong ball
I'm superimposing a ping pong ball into live footage of a match but with the actions acting the hitting.
What do people think is the best way to do this?
I was thinking maybe its best to put the 'ball' under a null, motion track the null and animate the ball underneath for scaling and position.
Maybe motion tracking isn't an option and I should just animate the ball movements?
Has anyone done this or may have any possible suggestions?
Thanks!
SGMake your life easy, hand-animate it. Pingpong is a fast game, resulting in lots of motionblurred elements and it will be a nightmare to track. You'll waste a lot of time on fixing a poor track that you could have spent refining your animation to begin with....

Desktop multiplayer ping-pong game
Hello all,
I've come here to seek advice related to my university project. I am almost a complete newbie at Java - during the past years I've only done programming in C, C++, Symbian and PHP. I remember doing a project in Java on the first year, but now I don't remeber anything.
Let's get to the point. I think I won't have problems with the language itself and the structure of the application. Yet, I would be very grateful if you could guide me to the resources/libraries/classes I should use in my project.
It will be a multiplayer network ping-pong game in a frame window, with a game frame, some menubar and a chat below the game frame. My question is: what class should I use to create a window for the whole application? What class for the game screen, where it will be neccesary to paint a ball jumping here and there and two rackets? What classes would you recommend for handling the network communication between two instances of the application? Any other suggestions would also be welcome. I have less than three weeks to implement this game:)
Thanks in advance.

You whined the same thing in the other thread when people asked for code tags. You have also got lots of actual advice and suggestions in your other thread and ignore them all.
Crossposting is rude but I suppose we should not expect any better from you because so far all you have demonstrated on this site is that you are rude, incredibly stupid and lazy. -
Constant faint ping pong noise coming from HD
I think someone described the sound best as a "faint ping pong hitting a metal surface sound." The HD itself is fine, but this constant noise is irritating. It occurs about every 15 seconds, and is very noticeable in a quiet room.
I bought a new MBP a couple weeks ago and reported this problem to Applecare. Applecare told me to go all the way to the Apple Store after waiting for about an hour even with the Genius Bar reservation online. Opened up the another MBP out of the box, still has the same problem.
Is this sound affecting ALL new MBP's? I understand that this faint ping pong noise has been around on MBP's since 2007, and that Apple was made aware of it, but nothing seems to have been done. Why?You know what, I'm getting the exact same "ping pong" noise. It sounds like a ball dropping from a ping pong table. I think I can feel a tiny shake too. Mine doesn't happen as often as 15 seconds tho. Mine is more like every half hour? Weird. I don't have a new MBP either mine in 15" Intel Core Duo (I think 2007). I just hope its not a mother board problem. One last thing, My MBP seems to be quirky these days, after using it for long hours, the keyboard will type numbers instead of letters and miss a few characters here or there (after a few hours of usage). I'm trying to isolate these problems but no luck yet. Any one have any luck with a remedy. **** things just scare me! MBP is my bread n butter (I'm a designer).

I'm new to Motion, I want to make my a segment of my clip play play backwards play ... ect... but when I use the ping- pong effect which seems like the one to use my audio gets messed up.
Is there a 'snap to audio' function .. so at the end of the loop I can get the rest of the audio for the clip.i tried that but when take the clip and add ping pong ... and then extend the clip to get the rest of the video, the audio doesn't extend as well / auto loop

Meters are playing ping-pong. Argh!
I know I'm missing something very simple. I am trying to acquire voltages in parallel from 2 Agilent 34401, serial ports 3 and 4. I'm only triggering 1/sec, but the meters acquire back and forth, ping-pong style. I don't understand this. Both are getting the same trigger. I only need to do a simple A/B math function but can't since both voltages need to be read at the same time. This is driving me nuts.

"I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane." -- George Orwell
Solved!
Go to Solution.Have you built a table of values that go to your meters?
Since you are reading a single point, your meters are showing that value. If at each iteration the values are:
5
1
8
3
8
5
8
6
3
8
6
9
2
6
4
On a scale of 0 to 10, you will notice the needle going back & forth.
For the same scale (0 - 10), if some of your values are over 10:
5
12 > 2
8
3
9
11 > 1
8
9
12 > 2
8
11 > 1
9
10
11 > 1
10
12 > 2
9
11 > 1
and so on... it will be an even more pronounced "ping pong" -
Playing Ping-Pong ... aka Verizon Won't Support the "Verizon WiFi" Service Activation App
This post concerns the Verizon service called, "Verizon WiFi," which is introduced at the following web-page:
http://www.verizon.com/wifi
The service is explained in the following page:
http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/networking/setup/wifi/124612.htm
The so-called "quick and easy" process to register and activate has occupied more than sixteen hours of time - so far - and regrettably, shows no signs of ever working. Two chat sessions, six (mostly marathon) CS calls, and I still can not find anyone who is inclined to fix the real problem, namely:
The "WiFi Activation" application (or wizard) will not accept as valid any user name that I type.
No matter what I enter into the User Name field (including the random strings provided by technical support in India), the application reports, "User name contains one or more invalid characters." Tried it 15 to times on multiple PCs ... always with the same results, "User name contains one or more invalid characters."
Telephone support is frustrating ... at best. Verizon DSL Dept. transfers me to VZ Wireless Dept., who eventually transfers me back to VZ DSL, who the transfers me to VZ FIOS Department, and then back to Wireless ... and so on. As y'all know, several of these transfers were to India and back. Last night (28 May) the trouble-ticket was escalated for action, and I was assured that I'd be contacted with the problem resolution..
I was not contacted.
This evening, I tried again. After lots more 'customer ping pong,' and repetition of yesterday's experiences, I was eventually told that the ticket (VAHM01NN**) had been closed. What gives? Why would an unresolved problem ticket be closed?
How about it, Verizon reps who read this?
Can one of y'all VZ reps help solve the problem with activating WiFi service so I can "Enjoy nationwide Wi-Fi access in select areas at over 5,000 hotspot locations -- at no extra charge" as trumpeted on the web-site? What office is responsible for technical support of the "WiFi Activation" application (named like the following, VZ.WIFI_2013_2013_29_10_12_44_8741ghu.app)?
Please help a brotha' out!
BTW. Every technician wants to dick around with my DSL modem ... instead of addressing the real problem. Please fix the flow-chart so that "Verizon WiFi" and "Verizon commericial WiFi hotspots" are addressed correctly!marlowerog wrote:

I have this service running and it was not a simple setup. I cannot make a particular suggestion right now for your case, but I thought this link might help:

Perhaps between the two of you, you'll encounter a resolution. Good luck.
Edit: After submitting my post on your issue, I discovered that you have initiated 3 separate threads on the same subject. Of course I had no way of knowing this prior to posting, and I found this confusing. Subsequently I realized that I'm unlikely to be able to help. In any case, best of luck. -
Part II - Playing Ping-Pong ... now with KaLin?
Just call me flummoxed ...
I went to my "profile page for the forum" by clicking on my name. (So far so good)
I looked "at the top of the middle column," (Puzzled, I search for KaLin's promised support.)
THERE IS NOTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING "an area titled "My Private Support Cases," nor any selection that leads to "My Private Support Cases."
THERE IS NO LINK to "the private board where you and the agent may exchange information."
And thus, it seems like the ping-pong game continues ...
I used to wonder why nobody responded to their original posts with updates. It appears that moderators prevent this from happening.

Adobe and Sony Photoshop Elements Serial Number Ping Pong !
Hi
I wanted you all to know what is going on.
See below my first 'ANGRY' support message I sent and their replies - actually this offer tipped me to buy this laptop instead of another one and I did contact SONY several times and they pretended not to understand and in their website is stated and listed as 'included programs'.
It is a trick to make customers buy their product? Sometime ago offers were 'real' offers.
IS THIS EVEN LEGAL ? A purchase is a contacrt the buyer/the sellers and its suppliers (Adobe!)
Next time, it will be a Toshiba (again!) - it has lasted me 5 years or had labour and it still is going - it stillis working and on Linux this time!
Saturday, 17 October 2009 10:49:44 o'clock BST - Product registration
===================================================
Hello
I have just purchased a SONY VAIO with these programs bundled/installed/no doscs/no licence!
I wish to:
1. register them and I cannot since your program only show 5 groups of digits instead of the 6 needed!
2. I wish to install Linux on this computer, but I cannot install PSE7 and Adobe Premiere E 7 without a licence!
Which should have been part of my purchase.
I feel I have been robbed.
As soon as you run it, your programs connects and show us the 'called option' to purchase upgrade to version 8 - are you trying to make us pay twice for the same programs?
What is the solution here? I spent hunfdreds of £££ during the years 'macromedia too to get treated like this?

What do you think?
I feel robbed and I am now using GIMP - which better than PSE7 and competitive to PShop Professional.
Sorry Adobe, but this case is not closed!
Wrong person to play with.
As soon as I have time a website will come out with all these stories - I will gather them all and them publish them.
I am a honest person and democratic and I do not like to be treated like this and I do not trea any of my customers like this, even if some deserve it!

Push Registry - "ping ponging" midlets
i am currently trying to build test apps that utilizes push registry using sockets
basically, i have 2 midlets, let's name them midlet1 and midlet2
1. i launch midlet1
2. then i exit midlet1
3. exiting midlet1 triggers the push for launching midlet2
4. midlet2 launches by itself
5. i then exit midlet2
6. similarly, exiting midlet2 triggers the push for launching midlet1
7. midlet1 launches by itself
8. i tried repeating everything from step 1, but it doesnt work..
anyone familiar with this situation?
i tried closing the socket connection during destroyApp() and of course the threads are stopped as well, but obviously they didn't worked for me..

Edited by: novarian_brian.balote on Sep 26, 2008 1:24 AMsure, so yes its only on midp2, the JAD stuff you're talking about is only for the pushregistry in midp2.
how it works? you tell the AMS (application management system) on the phone that when it installs MyMIDlet it should attach it to some port (say... 5444 for example).
cool so now its installed.
now when your phone gets an SMS nothing happens... UNLESS that SMS is directed at port 5444. At that point, the AMS will invoke MyMIDlet.
but ya, you need MIDP2.0 -
Strange Call process such as "Ping-Pong" between gateway and PBX.
Hello.
I have a strange thing in our voip network.
Sometimes, some strange call(i think this call maded by someone using wrong number) occured in our network. At this time, i tried to see the status of the call using show voice call status, most of channels used by strange call.
Here is the capture.

29 active calls found
Just One call exhausted up to 35 channels on two E1.
I think this call made someone who was tried to make a call with wrong number.
Anyone have the same or similar experience just to me?

johnAlternatively you could use CoR (class of restriction) to deny the ability to reach dial-peers that point to the PBX from dial-peers that match inbound calls from the PBX.
This would prevent the loop.... this doc outlines CoR config if you're not familiar with it...

Try again ... Exploding Ball Full of Balls
I'll try to explain again what I'm trying to do.
Image having a basketball that has been cut in half. Fill both side with an equal number of three different colored ping pong balls (or golf balls - this is to give an idea of size). Now lay an M80 on the top of one half in the center and put the two halves together (so that the M80 is in the center of the basketball and buried within the ping pong balls). Then detonate the M80 and picture how the ping pong balls would fly out in every direction. THAT's what I'm trying to do with AE. Is it possible? I'm using CS3 with stock effects.
I think it can be accomplished one ball at a time using motion paths, but I would think there HAS TO be a way to do it with particles or some other way. Does anyone have any suggestions?
As usual, thank you!
LloydCC Particle world is as close as you're going to get. You'll need to create a custom particle. Mine is a 40 X 40 pixel comp with 3 frames and 3 circles with grain applied to give the particle texture. They kind of look like Trix cereal.
The second step is to add the particle layer to your comp at about frame 3, add a solid for CC particle world and set up the particle like effect using a custom particle like this:
Now just adjust the physics to get the kind of explosion you want.
The trick is to pick up the explosion on about frame 6 so that the particles are in motion when the wrapper comes off. All it takes now is some layering with your wrapper that is going to contain these balls. You put front layers in above, back layers below, and you've got as good as it's going to get with standard particles.
Here's some things to think about. CC Particle World particles don't react with each other. IOW, they won't bounce off each other. They will react with a floor. You could create several instances of the explosion and set several floors to get some interactivity with the wrapper layers.
By far the best way to do this kind of thing is in a 3D application. Blender would do the job nicely and you can export camera moves to AE. The second best would be with Trapcode Particular. Whatever way you decide to go this is not a simple effect with just a couple of layers. It involves lots of manipulation, mattes, blend modes and some critical thinking.
The explsoion looks something like this:
