Printing in the real world

Trying to print from my iPad.
All other computers in the house are PC-based. Printer is an Ethernet connected and addressable HP multifunction printer.
So how do I print from my iPad to a network printer? It takes less than a minute to enable this printer on a new PC in the same house.

Apple only supports direct wireless printing from iOS and that's all they've ever claimed, so it's not "ignoring the network", per se. If you're gauging what an iPad should do based on what a laptop computer running Mac OS X or Windows can do, you're certain to be disappointed. But other developers and users are adding to that capability. Airprint Hacktivator, which I erroneously mentioned above, is gone and replaced with a Mac OS X-only utility, but here's one claim of a way to enable AirPrint to Windows-connected printers:
http://jaxov.com/2010/11/how-to-enable-airprint-service-on-windows/
I have no idea whether it works or not, or would work with a network printer, but it might be worth a try if you have your computer on at all times. PrintCentral, already mentioned, is also an option; the web site says it can print to networked printers:

Grids in the real world

Hi....sort of a cryptic subject, but here's what I'm trying to do:
What is the easy way (not too much thinking) to use a grid that will help me with the size and placement of two objects?
Let's say I have a image taken with a digital camera of an interior house wall. The real size of the wall is 19' x 12'. My plan is to size and print this "wall" image onto an 8 x 11.5 paper. But before printing, I want to paste into the "wall" image two rectangles that are 24" x 36"-----intended to be pictures hanging on the wall.
The confusion I have is how to make the relationship in real size (inches and feet) work for the size, placement, and printing. For all objects and all with a grid that would also represent a scale like 1"=1'.
Any ideas? Hoping to hear from you.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Get out your calculator, :-)
You should have the wall width dimension (19') as the images longer
dimension (landscape).
You may need to Crop the image to fit the wall width and hight to get
the proper dimensions. You can use "Image" > "transform" > "Perspective"
to square the wall on the image.
Divide the wall pixel dimension by the real world dimension in feet.
The answer is what you want to set the "Gridline every [answer] pixels"
dimension to. If you set the "Subdivisions [12] you will have a line
every inch.

New Enterprise Manager Book on Advanced EM Techniques for the Real World

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to say my first EM book can be ordered now.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control: Advanced Techniques for the Real World
[http://www.rampant-books.com/book_1001_advanced_techniques_oem_grid_control.htm]
Please let your colleagues and friends and clients know – it is the first book in the world to include EM 11g Grid Control. It is a great way for people to understand the capabilities of EM.
Oracle’s Enterprise Manager Grid Control is recognized as the IT Industry’s leading Oracle database administration and management tool. It is unrivalled in its ability to monitor, manage, maintain and report on entire enterprise grids that comprise hundreds (if not thousands) of Oracle databases and servers following an approach that is consistent and repeatable.
However, Enterprise Manager Grid Control may seem daunting even to the most advanced Oracle Administrator. The problem is you know about the power of Enterprise Manager but how do you unleash that power amongst what initially appears to be a maze of GUI-based screens that feature a myriad of links to reports and management tasks that in turn lead you to even more reports and management tasks?
This book shows you how to unleash that power.
Based on the Author’s considerable and practical Oracle database and Enterprise Manager Grid Control experience you will learn through illustrated examples how to create and schedule RMAN backups, generate Data Guard Standbys, clone databases and Oracle Homes and patch databases across hundreds and thousands of databases. You will learn how you can unlock the power of the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Packs, PlugIns and Connectors to simplify your database administration across your company’s database network, as also the management and monitoring of important Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and the nuances of all important real-time change control using Enterprise Manager.
There are other books on the market that describe how to install and configure Enterprise Manager but until now they haven’t explained using a simple and illustrated approach how to get the most out of your Enterprise Manager. This book does just that.
Covers the NEW Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g.
Regards,
Porus.

Java ... and the real world

Good Day,
I'm new at JAVA language, I'm basicly a C++ programmer, but I wanted to get inside the java world and know what is it all about, I have the motivation to make it my 1st lang.
But, there is a question, is it used widely like the other old and new languages, what makes it a better choice to develope with, what is the advantages I mean ??!!
is it ready for a real huge application from the real world??
give me an example
thanks in advance

Don't hold your breath ...by that I mean it will be
better in some ways and the same in most ways.
My point is that the future of computing, its
application and its growth lies in network and
inter-network applications, not in desktop and PC
stand-alone applications.I don't know if i agree (that desktop apps aren't going to be 'the area' in the future)... just about everybody uses computers nowadays, with the vast majority being home desktop users. The desktop app market is set up in such a way that it cannot reach saturation, as 'everyone' (i.e. the majority of users) always want the upgrades... Norton Antivirus 2004 anyone?
Basically, I agree with you that Java is not a player in this market, and systems integration is (and will continue to be) a huge growth area. Java should play a central role in this, due in part to its platform independence. Only problem is, in the future if the only programming jobs are bolting together components and existing systems, there will be even less coder jobs than today. So you could say, whilst the future of computing is network and inter-network apps, therein lies our doom...

How do I send Firefox information about It's helpful for Mozilla's engineers to be able to measure how Firefox behaves in the real world. The Telemetry feature

It's helpful for Mozilla's engineers to be able to measure how Firefox behaves in the real world. The Telemetry feature provides this capability by sending performance and usage info to us. As you use Firefox, Telemetry measures and collects non-personal information, such as memory consumption, responsiveness timing and feature usage. It then sends this information to Mozilla on a daily basis and we use it to make Firefox better for you.
Telemetry is an opt-in feature. Bring it to me

Hi Terrancecallins,
I understand that you would like to opt-in for the Telemetry feature in your Firefox browser. Thank you for your interest in helping to make Firefox better!
Here is the help article explaining how to turn on this feature:

In Layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean, and how does it effect me in the real world?

No offense, but what carrier? what data and what service?
I get a bogus window hovering in my itunes page, telling me I have to update information, that I don't want to manage.
I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations.
I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary. I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad.
Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple.
Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore.
Contact us, means...send us an email about something you don't know anything about, and I don't even know that questions to ask.
I am not allowed to be ignorant. If I am I wait days for answers.....

SAP Screen Personas Performance in the real world

I've read the blogs, Personas are amazing the user does much less clicking, etc, but in the real world is anyone using this in production, for a widescale deployment?
I've tried this in my system and although it's cute, and at first people have fun clearing all the fields they never used, I felt the performance was severely lacking, and worst of all is that it inherits all the problems of SAP GUI for HTML, specfically bad formating. I don't use SAP GUI for HTML because some transactions don't work well in it, namely FBCJ, CV01N, etc. Do you feel this problem is fixed by Personas?
It's the same as NWBC, awesome, great, but when I try to use it in production... the consistency just isn't there. I need a reliable GUI and both NWBC and Personas crash one too many times.
Am I seeing this wrong? Are you succesfully using this in production?
Best regards

If you compare Personas to native SAPgui in unaltered transactions, then for sure Personas comes off worse. Its interface into the backend system is the HTMLgui, which isn't as responsive as a native SAPgui, and then it adds another layer on top. That layer is getting more efficient all the time, but still in most cases Personas is a little slower than HTMLgui.
But that's missing the point of Personas. Look at this blog - Simplifying a multi-screen transaction with Personas. Here I simplify a transaction that requires a user to do a lot of clicking around to find all the information they need. This can take 30-60 seconds to get to everything. My Personas flavour takes a little while to render - maybe 5-6 seconds. That feels a little sluggish at first sight, until you realise it has everything the user needs in one screen with not further clicking or scrolling. Slow to render? Yes. Slower that the equivalent in SAPgui? Absolutely not. Being conservative, this saves our users 20-25 seconds each time they run the transaction. Automation is the key.
Yes we are running this in production, and our users love it. Performance is not an issue for us or them. We have only 80-90 users using this live at the moment. There are customers with 10x that many Personas live in production.
Steve.

3G vs 3Gs in the 'real world'?

HI I currently have the iphone 3G and am due an upgrade soon. I have no idea what phone to go for if any, as I don't think there's any other phone worth having other than the iphone. Therefore the only logical upgrade is the 3Gs. I know all the spec differences on paper, but what are they like in the 'real world'. Has anyone had both and can tell me if there is any noticeable difference (other than the video camera)? The thing I'm most interested in is the speed. Is there a real difference in apps and on the internet?
Cheers, Toby

I know its been awhile since the origional post, but i thought i'd post my 2 cents anyway.
For speed, i've noticed a big difference between the two. I sold my 3G to my dad so i've compared the two, and pretty much every aspect of it is faster, and more fluent, like scrolling between pages of apps, or moving apps around.
Also GPS searching facebook are faster as well from what i noticed.
And like the other person mentioned, more gigabytes, so you can get more space.
Also the video recording is nice, considering most phones have it anyway, now you can have it on your iphone as well.
im sure you won't regret getting the 3Gs if you loved the 3G

Discuss SAP NetWeaver in the Real World Series

Hello SAP NetWeaver Platform forum denizens! I, Jennifer Lankheim, am a senior editor of SDN.
Our recently launched series, "SAP NetWeaver in the Real World" has generated some heated Letters to the Editor, as it were, so the SDN editorial team thought it would be a great idea to open a forum where SDN community members could discuss the series. For example, do you think there was a better technological approach for Iridium Motors? Do you agree or disagree with any statements made in the articles?
We, the editors, would also love to hear what you think about the series in general - has it captured your interest? Would you like to see more SDN content like this in the future? Would you like to see REAL case studies, detailing REAL implementations? Let us know!
Cheers,

RMI Use in the real world

I present an RMI module in the Java course I teach. I know enough about RMI to be able to talk about it, and write a simple classroom example, but I have never done RMI in the real world. Can anyone offer an example of what kind of applications are being developed that use RMI?
Thanks,
J.D.

I can tell you about two sites.
1. A system which allocates and dispatches crews, trucks, backpack hoses, spare socks, etc to bushfires (wildfires to you). It operates between two Government departments here in Australia. Each of those despatchable items is a remote object and there have been up to 50,000 active in the system at a time during the hot summer months. This is a large and life-critical system.
2. A monitoring system for cable TV channels. A piece of hardware produces a data stream representing things like channel utilization, error rates, delay, etc and this is multiplexed via RMI to a large number of operator consoles. Again this is a major and business-critical system.
And of course every J2EE system in existence uses RMI internally, albeit almost entirely RMI/IIOP.

Character Styles in the Real World

Rick:
Thanks for your efforts, and let me add my Amen to both
subjects (on file locations and on Character styles).
My real-world use of Character styles is a combination usage
of Paragraph and Character styles for Notes: I have a Paragraph
style called Note, which simply adds margins of .15in Left, 10pt
Top, and 8pt Bottom. Within this paragraph style, multiple labels
announce the type of Note with the use of Character styles
NoteLabel (Navy), RecommendLabel (Teal), CAUTIONLabel (Purple), and
WARNINGLabel (Red).
This way, you can change the color of one or more labels
without worrying about the paragraph settings (or vice versa).
Also, when placing a Note inside a table cell (which might
have limited horizontal space, especially with three or four
columns), we still use the "Label" character styles but
without the Notes paragraph style. This still sets off the
text visually, without adding unnecessary extra vertical space.
Thanks again, Rick!
