Prohibitive costs while developing - Pause feature or pay for what you use option?

Hi,
I am investigating using Storm on the Azure HDInsight.
I did the introductory tutorials and after a few days I saw that I had exhausted my MSDN Ultimate credit allowance since this thing needs 15 cores to function and you pay for it if it is doing work or no.
I am in development so I'm building a topology, use it for a few minutes, fix it, try something new, etc. I don't actually use the computing power for more than an hour a day, but I'm charged for 360 hours a day.
As far as I can tell there is no way to pause a storm cluster if I am not using it, or use it in some development mode that is capped for a very small usage scenario.
What is the best practice method for developing for this storm cluster? I can not justify to my boss spending 1000 dollars a month for the development of these components.
Thanks,
Amir

Amir0 - What technology are you using to author your topologies Java or SCP.Net
Apache Storm does support a local mode which you can utilize for developmental tasks.
http://storm.apache.org/documentation/Local-mode.html
In terms of best practices:
1. In the latest HDInsight service update a user can adjust the nodes sizes, make sure you choose the smallest sizes.
2. Deploy small 1 or 2 node clusters.
3. In your spouts, try to check point the state to Azure Blob Storage or Zookeeper so that when you re-create a cluster or re-run the topology you can resume from last state. It will also help in using the same storage account & container for
the multiple clusters.
4. Automating creation or deletion of HDInsight clusters is fairly easy using the public sdk or powershell.

Paying For What? Insurance, Assurance? Why?

I was thinking, why would I pay for insurance on my phone? I would still have to pay $125 deductible. And the Assurance that is offered is $99, but costs $50 everytime screen gets busted. Factory warranty would pretty much cover everything else. I can find a LCD and digitizer with all the tools and everything I need to fix it myself for Less than $100 all day. Just don't understand. And if you are technologically incapable, you can fin some online to do it cheap too.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Those conditions sound like a terrible deal to me. You are right, in general a DIY screen replacement will be around or below $100 anyway. Only thing is that once the screen is busted your warranty will be gone as well. So it would maybe make sense once you crack the screen and you have done the replacement yourself.

Why does the option to watch a movie even appear if it then will not play because not downloaded? Worse, then only 23hrs left to watch!! Paying for what is not delivered!!

ITUNES: Why does the option to "watch movie now" appear & when chosen movie will not play because still downloading. WHY SHOULD THE OPTION APPEAR IF MOVIE CAN"T BE PLAYED. Then when movie is viewable, only 23hrs to watch! PAYING FOR MOVIES WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW does not make happy consumer. Emailed Itunes over and over about problem and stilll paying for services unrendered.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

How to pay for icloud? I no longer trust apple with my credit card. How can we pay for icloud without using a credit card?

Having had recently a problem with my credit card with itunes (the only place I ever used that particular card), and several fraudulent charges, I no longer wish to give my credit card information to itunes or any other apple outfit. Can we pay for icloud by cheque, or money order, or some other way, perhaps a bank account where I would leave just enough money to cover the payment. This would be the only I would pay for icloud. Please let me know. thanks.

Paying for Skype Premium using a Purchase Order/In...

Hi,
Our University would like to pay for a Skype Premium account using a Purchase Order system - i.e. we send out a Purchase Order to Skype, Skype sends an invoice, and we then send payment to Skype.
Would this be possible, or is there an email address I can use to contact Skype directly about this?
Thanks,
Massimo

I guess you are talking about due date for a billing document.
There's an FM Determine_Due_date for that. before that you'll have to use FM FI_DOCUMENT_READ with I_AWTYP as VBRK and I_AWREF as Billing Document Number. You will get T_BSEG entry.
CALL FUNCTION 'FI_DOCUMENT_READ'
   EXPORTING
     i_awtyp           = 'VBRK'
     i_awref           = po_vbeln
   TABLES
     t_bseg            = i_bseg
SORT i_bseg BY vbeln.
READ TABLE i_bseg WITH KEY vbeln = 'Billing Document Number'.
IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING i_bseg TO wa_faede.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DETERMINE_DUE_DATE'
         EXPORTING
              i_faede                    = wa_faede
         IMPORTING
              e_faede                    = wa_faede
         EXCEPTIONS
              account_type_not_supported = 1
              OTHERS                     = 2.
This wa_faede will have due date in one of its fields.

Developing a web system from scratch - What to use?

Hi
I am considering developing a web system in Java from scratch. I am a very experienced PHP programmer and have been a part of a development team that has a lot of systems such as CRM, CMS and so forth. Right now we need to develop a central management console in another, more powerful language. Java is the preferred choice but i would like to know what the best way to go about it is?
In PHP for example, we used Creole for the database abstraction, Smarty for the template engine and Apache for the web server. In Java i am looking for a solution that:
1 - Is database independent, or at least supports the main databases without needing to change any code
2 - Is relatively quick to develop in/learn
3 - If a framework, then maybe has a MVC paradigm
4 - Preferably uses XSLT for the display, but does not have to
5 - Is among the top 2 or 3 ways that people would normally do this
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for your replies. The article link was really informative. I have narrowed it down to Flex or Spring and will play around with them to see the best one.

How do I pay for my purchase using the Apple Financing?

I applied for the financing option in Canada. It says they deal with TD bank and that I would get a credit card from them. I'm wondering how and where would I pay for my purchace that I made on the website so I don't get charged interest?

What to expect to pay for a new/used iSight?

What were these iSight cameras selling for brand new when Apple sold them?
Why did they discontinue it?
I have the 30" ACD, should I invest in a new/used one from ebay or somewhere?
What price should I expect to pay?
Would it be better to get a different camera from Logitech or something, thats cheaper and better?

I paid $129 (USD) plus tax when my Rev A external iSight was new (about 5 years ago.)

Unless you can physically examine and test an external iSight, I would not buy one now.
External iSight is a great camera, but they are getting old as electronics go, and you have no idea how the one you buy now has been used or treated by its previous owner(s).
I suggest that you buy locally and test any external iSight you are considering on your Mac before you pay for it. That way you know whether it will work, and a local seller may be able to answer questions, if any, about connecting and using iSight before you buy.
If you find one locally, use the following suggestions to test the external iSight before you buy:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
Even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS (new, old-stock) iSight, it is not likely covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller does not provide you written service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
If you are interested, see this example regarding using a used external iSight:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9464955
What price should I expect to pay?
Searching eBay can show you what others have paid, but I know no way to predict what you should expect.
If you consider buying an untested external iSight via an on-line auction or other internet seller, I strongly suggest that you (try to) get a written guarantee that you can have the iSight examined by your Apple Authorized Service Provider and can have a refund or exchange if the iSight doesn't pass his checks. Such a warranty might effect your purchase price.
Would it be better to get a different camera from Logitech or something, thats cheaper and better?
Yes.
That would be my recommendation. To cheaper and better, you can add is covered by a current warranty.

Why does apple try and make you pay for something you haven't received then they blackmail you by blocking my iPad from receiving updates?

My daughter tried to purchase an order with a maxed out credit card, she then canceled the order or rather tried to. Since that I haven't been able to update my apps nor download free ones. So I contract apple they return an email to me saying that I must pay for the order I don't want let alone did not receive, I return the email within two minutes since then nothing. They say I must pay for the order or I will not be able to use my apps. This is the **** I have begun to expect from Icrap steve jobs we miss you.

@roaming lah blah whatever check your appleophile crap at the door I received nothing they received nothing I'm not paying for nothing I would pay if they had mistakenly sent something and didn't receive payment but they sent me nothing therefor this is absolutely blackmail to attempt to coerce me into paying for a sale never completed as far as all sales are final well where does that apply smartass? A definition of sale is payment rendered for product received. Neither one applies they tried to process my card NSF that means they don't send product, correct Sherlock or am I guessing that you think a major conglomerate always has the little guys best interests at heart? This is a ludicrous issue from apple, especially after I bought a basic toy that can't compute as much as a net book from acer for three times the price Nuff. Said

I've created an iphoto book and have ordered through "buy book" option. Now my family would like to order more, can they order and pay for the book using their apple ID?

I've created an iphoto book and have ordered and purchased a number of copies through the 'buy book' option. My family abroad would like to order more, can they order and pay for the same book through their own apple account?

No - you need ot order and have them pay you
