Privacy Question: What are Best Ways to Protect My Literary Pseudonym?

Hey Everyone,
I am an author embarking on the long process of reinventing myself--changing from a crime writer to a "literary writer"--for reasons that are too boring and stupid to explain. The nature of publishing these days is such that I will have to create a pseudonym, and submit my work as if I'm a total unknown--even at the agent level because, trust me, if a publisher asks an agent for my real identity the agent will give it. Therefore, it's crucial to me that no tech savvy assistant can simply check my IP address and go--"Hey, it's old so-and-so!" I don't want to use a "front." I could go through a lawyer, but that would be cumbersome and expensive.
I will be getting a separate "burner" phone for this venture, and of course use a P.O. Box rather than my home address. I still have to figure out the best way of getting a separate tax ID that won't be automatically linked to me--whether by a DBA or a corporate subsid.
I'm not worried about security of my actual computer.
My initial questions are:
Will I be able to send emails from my home network and still remain pseudonymous?
Will I have to use an entirely separate computer for Mr. Pseudonym?
Will Tor be of any use here? (I tried it out and found it slowed my MacBook to a crawl.)
Can you recommend a forum where I might get expert advice on this? (The advice available from writers' orgs assumes your agent will know who you are--not what I need.)
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give.

The new plastics really don't have the discoloration problem, so you don't actually need palm rest protection. Any dirt can be taken care of with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I use only a silicone keyboard cover by Carapace to protect my macbook. I type so much that the letters often wear off my keys, and this will prevent that, as well as dust entering through the keyboard or, God forbid, any spilled liquid. The macbook heat vents are in the back, so my macbook does not overheat with the keyboard cover in place.

[noob question] whats the best way to load movieclips with a loading screen

for each level i have a number of movieclips bitmaps and sprites etc.. should i just load multiple swf's of everything in my level or keep all objects in the library and call upon them in the main fla
this is for a mobile game btw.
I have a loading screen.png file also, how do i know when each item is finished loading to stop the loading screen image?

If you have money to spend, I would recommend using Oracle's Application Test Suite (ATS) since it is the only test tool I know of that allows you to create a functional test and then convert it to a load test. The capabilities of this tool are pretty amazing considering that it is a single tool where the go to toolset in the past was Win Runner / Load Runner. With Win Runner, you needed 50 machines (or VMs) if you wanted to generate front end load for 50 users. With ATS, you record a script with your browser, and then convert it into a load test. You can adjust things like think time, ramp up time, sustained load, etc.
What a lot of people miss is that testing tools can be used indefinitely, not just for getting through a migration. If you script your tests appropriately (which means that your user base trusts them), you can use them for every code release because it takes very little effort to run a test script. On top of that, you can set up strategically placed machines around your network that are set up to run a specific test script (think of a common transaction) so that performance metrics can be captured. I worked for a company that had 160 locations around the world and we used our testing tool as a performance monitor in the locations with the worst performance. Having a tool allowed us to see whether our performance issues were related to network, database, app servers, etc. This took the burden of explaining performance issues off of the users. Most users can't really articulate what the problems are anyway (and they aren't expected to).
If budget is an issue, you can use JMeter from Apache, which will give you the load testing capability but you will miss out on the excellent reporting and management capabilities of the Oracle Application Test Suite.

What are best ways to free up space?

I am still having problems in iDVD. I have created a movie in Final Cut Express HD. I am able to create a DVD in iDVD. I have burned a copy of half of my movie. Ever since I burned this I am getting messages saying "not enough free disk space." I realize that I need more space and I have about 400 Gig's free in a Lacie external hard drive. I was told to free up space by moving my start up drive to the Lacie. Or possibly just moving other things there. I am not sure what to move to my external hard drive or how to do that. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate them. thanks
Zach Schuler

I keep my operating system on one drive and my media on other drives. So, how large is your boot drive and how much free space is currently on it? Next, find the files in your home directory (this will be non-system files) and start to move them to the LaCie drive. The problem will be with iLife files: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, They will continue to look for your media in the "default" location. You can change this, here is one example:

Once you have your media copied (just drag & drop) and "re-connected" you can delete it off the boot drive thereby freeing up all that space.

Did this occur with a case?
If so, invest in a case that provides better protection.

What is the best way to protect it?

I HATE getting scratches or any sort of cosmetical damage on my devices, I am getting my first MBP on Friday, and want to know what the best way to keep it like new is?
It won't be leaving the house regularly for a while, but I do have a neoprene case which I think it will fit for travelling anyway.
I have seen many people with cases on their Macs, I don't know what the proper name is for them, but they are like hard shells attached to the back of the lid, are these recommended? I have read about some heat issues with it.
What is the best way to protect the screen? I don't ever touch it, so I don't think that will be a problem, but cleaning dust off etc.?
Lastly, will the trackpad wear away? My laptop's trackpad has slightly faded from it being used a lot, are MBP's prone to this too? I will try to use a mouse as much as possible.
Are there any other things I should know about? I read that the bottom can get scratched easily too? I would only use it on a flat surface, so something like my lap, so depending on how soft the metal is... It can't be that bad can it?
Thanks!

Wouldnt buy that, nope
Hard cases protect the finish of your macbook, but they trap in heat, ....many here have spoken on same.
A major part of a macbook pro, especially a RETINA PRO is dissipating heat from the alloy case, which this case prevents from happening.
Yes, youre stopping all the scratch,.....and likewise keeping the Macbook from dissipating a lot of heat.
When I said INCASE, I meant this:

What is the best way to protect my new Macbook Pro?

I finally have a shinny new 13" Macbook Pro Rentina and I'm wondering what is the best way to protect it? I am considering either a hard case or a sleeve but which one is the best? This thing is worth more than my car and I can't afford for anything to happen to it! Hard case? Sleeve? Both?

Congratulations on your MBPR! I had the exact same question when I bought mine. I ended up using a hard case and a sleeve. For the case I went with the Kuzy Hard Case and an Incase Deluxe Sleeve. Using a sleeve and case is great and I feel like my Macbook is very well protected and I am no longer scared of breaking it with this setup! Best of luck!

What is the best way to protect my info in case my iPad is stolen

Ideas for the best way to protect my info I'd my iPad is stolen or lost?

I also had my iPad stolen, and thats when other troubles started! I received an email on my PC stating that my iTunes password had been reset. The thief had done this! So I rang the Apple help line to ask what to do. they said just reset the password, and as the thief couldnt access my emails it would be okay,,the Apple emails also suggested this.   But that was the issue that stupid me hadnt realised!!! As the iPad was receiving my emails the the thief could easily reset the iTunes password , and download muic and videos on my credit card on iTunes!!         As happened to me.
Apple does not warn you of this possibility, even when i spoke to their Help line. And searched their website for advice
       So, my advice is, Do Not store your email password on your iPad, and maybe, do not leave your credit card details with iTunes? An irritation I know! If you have not done these things, then if your iPad is stolen then immediately change your email password, and stop your iTunes credit card.
     Probably iTunes need a safer way to change passwords, like an sms code to allow password changes, as relying on emails is not safe, as the thief will frequently be receiving those emails too!!!

What's the best way to protect my code?

What's the best way to protect my code from people reading it? Do obfuscators work well? If so, which one is really good?

Obfuscation helps but is not a complete solution.
Here is an idea to consider. Take the binaries(*.class) of the files you wish to protect and encrypt them. This would require you to write a small utility...not too hard. When you want to use these classes you decrypt them and dynamically load them. You could make a custom classloader to handle the details if you want to get fancy. The security of your classes would rest on the quality of the encryption you choose. A scheme such as this would be tough to reverse engineer using available tools.

What are the ways in data transfer

Hi Experts,
What are the ways to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SAP BW and SAP BW to SAP APO DP?
Can anyone help me please.
Regards
Suvi

Hello,
I can only help on part of your questions, since I'm not familar with R/3 data uploading ...
If you want to download data from BW infocube to APO DP:
1)For CVCs, you can just use /sapapo/mc62, input POS name, click 'Create Characteristic Combinations'.
   Then select an option except 'Create manually'.
   In the 'Data Source' area, select load data from 'InfoProvider'.
   Then you can load CVCs from infocube to APO system for generation.
2)For transactional data (key figure values), you can use /sapapo/tscube.
   Just fill in the source cube's name, version, and tagert planning area's name, version.
   Key figure assignment and characteristic assignment are also necessary.
   Specify other options as to your requirement, and you can download transactional data from BW to DP.
Best Regards,
Ada

Whats the best way to stream videos?

whats the best way to stream video thru plumtree portal?What all it requires? (technology/application/server/plumtree development?)

Hello Kuljit,
For the windows platform you could set up Windows Media services. It can be configured to play all sorts of media files. I created a "radio station" portlet that multiple channels and from the portal I could select a drop down and the station would play that stream. I would make sure that media services are not being gatewayed and that anyone that can see your portal can see the videos. Here is my html that I made a portlet out of: This will not show the video window. You can increase the size of the object to show the video window with controls. Check out MSDN online for configuration of the <object>
<FORM NAME="streamForm"> <INPUT NAME="btnPlay" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Play" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.Play();"> <INPUT NAME="btnStop" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Stop" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.stop();"> <select name="musicGroup" onChange="changeStream()"> <option value="">-- Select --</option> <option value="barenakedladies">Barenaked Ladies</option> <option value="pinkfloyd">Pink Floyd</option> </select> </FORM>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ID="MediaPlayer1" height="0" width="00"> <PARAM NAME="Name" VALUE="MediaPlayer1"> <param name="uiMode" value="invisible"> <PARAM NAME="TransparentAtStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AnimationatStart" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="0"> <PARAM NAME="autoSize" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="displaySize" Value="0"></OBJECT><script language="javascript">function changeStream(){ df = document.streamForm; if(df.musicGroup.selectedIndex != 0) { MediaPlayer1.url = "mms://MBRUCELT-W3k/"+df.musicGroup[df.musicGroup.selectedIndex].value; } }</script>
This works for the latest version of Window Media Player. The mms:// in my script is a call to Windows Media Services. That is the part that should be accessible from outside the portal.
HTH,

Wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

I need to wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.
