Protecting Our Hearing

I just learned that any sound above 85 decibels is damaging to our hearing.
Does anyone know what the decibels are when the volume of the ipod is set to halfway?
and at max? (although this is less important because anyone knows max is not good for your ears)
iMac G4 800MHz (M8535LL/B) Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook G4 1.42GHz

Full volume, here in the U.S., is around 110 to 115 decibels. In Europe, it is capped at around 95 to 100 decibels, which is still plenty of volume. So, with this in mind, half-way in the U.S. is around 55 to 60 decibels, and 60 decibels is the volume of a normal conversation. In Europe, half-way would be around 45 to 50 decibels. Keep in mind that this is where you are getting all of the sound in your ears. If you have the Apple Earbuds WITHOUT attachments like the Griffin EarJams, then you will not get all the sound in your ears. If you do have those attachments or have in-ears, then the previous numbers should be correct or close to correct. There is no reason why people should have to lsiten to their music above 70 or 75 decibels. If you constantly listen to music at 80 decibels all the time, you will eventually begin to lose hearing, but this is over a period of time of a good amount. Just be careful and don't turn up the volume so loud. I hope this helps any.

**This information is based on songs at the same relative volume. Some songs are louder than others (I.E. The Beatles' "Blackbird" only reaches about 60% of the full volume level of a CD, while U2's "Vertigo" is at 100% CD volume capacity).

There is a program unfortunately just called "Cookie" (so I can't be successful doing a search here) that is supposed to help protect our private information that resides on our computers. Has anyone used this and is it worth buying?

Unfortunately this discussion forum has changed and become confusing indeed. It wanted me to put my entire question in a Subject box which wasn't labeled as such, and I find this strange. Especially since now it tells me to repeat my question in this box, so here goes.
Has anyone here used a program called 'Cookie' that is supposed to protect our private information from sites which could retrieve it when we surf the Net. If so, do you consider the program worth buying?

If you are referring to Cookie from SweetP Productions, I have tried it and not found it to work reliably, so I cannot recommend it. I've had the best results with the same company's free Safari Cookies, though it's not perfect (none of the cookie managers are, unfortunately):

Should a Phone (Device) Update Law Be Created to Protect Our Information?

Hi, all.
If you think about it, we often perform software updates to many technology devices we own. These devices include our networking routers, our tablets, servers, PCs, set top boxes, gaming consoles, and much more than I have listed here.
There are different types of updates that we perform as well. We install PC BIOS updates, the latest operating system updates, and software updates to applications such as business applications and web browsers.
We install these updates to keep our devices running at their highest performance level with greatest efficiency and improved capabilities. Most importantly, we also install these updates to protect our personal information (our data), ensuring we have the latest, and most secure operating system and security tools to protect our information from hackers/thieves.
We are usually in charge of these updates. With these software update options, we should also take a little responsibility for something we own getting hacked if we don't install current software upgrades or updates - especially if we can update them ourselves.
That leads to my question above. Should a law be passed requiring device manufacturers who control software upgrades/updates to always publish them? Should a law require hardware resellers to publish software update schedules so users will know when the updates are available? Should hardware resellers who control software upgrades/updates be held responsible for putting users' information at risk by not offering the latest software updates?
As our phones become more and more like personal computers, we want to be charge of how they are secured and updated. Right now, for the Windows Phone OS 7/8+, it's completely out of our hands and yet we are responsible for our own phone security.
I suspect that something is going to have to change in the future with software updates to our devices. This is especially true when phones start becoming more hacked like PCs are today.
Just a thought.

Elector,
I've been lurking on this board for a while now, and I have seen a lot of your posts, and this is the first time I felt compelled to respond.
You stated:
"Verizon and others are a business. They sell a connection to the cellular and data network. With your working device."
That is what we are looking for. Verizon is selling a connection, that is EXACTLY what we want! Keep selling us the connection, and stay the hell out of managing the software updates. We are not renting the devices from Verizon, we are simply using their connection. Personally, this is my biggest beef with Verizon right now. I know that I bought a phone with a specific software version that worked. I know Verizon is not obligated to update that phone, etc. All of which I am fine with, what I am not fine with is that Verizon is not letting ME update MY device. Yes, I can use the developer preview, which I am currently using, but it is still not the released version with the firmware update.
I roughly relate this to a cable modem router, I can buy my own router, connect it to my Verizon FIOS, and update the router at any point without having to involve Verizon. What I paid for was a connection to the Verizon FIOS network. This is exactly what I want to have on my phone network as well.
Another interesting quote -
" Should the device makers have the ability to send updates out in the same manner as Apple? Yes I totally favor that.
Is it going to happen soon? No. "
- Well, why not? That is what I find interesting, if Apple can do it, why not Android or Microsoft? And this response isn't directed to Elector, this is directed to Verizon (which, of course, I know will never actually respond to this).
- Have a nice day

How to protect our Add-on?

Hi Experts
I want to know that how can we give password for installation of Add-on and Can we set time bound for our Add-On expiry?. if yes then tell me how ?
Regards
Gorge

Hi,
There r many ways how u can develop trail versions.
1. U can have a temperory field or table and at the 1st time of installation u can post the SQL server date which cannot be changed by the user (Some use system date too but this can be easily changed by the user) and have a condition for some 15 days or so as per ur requirements.
2. U can write some registry values.
I suggest u to use the 1st menthod, as its simple and foolproof.
Hope it helps,

Why do we need to password protect our system?

They say their is "no such thing as a dumb question" but I know this is one. sigh. I'm curious to the reasons why this is so important.
I understand password protecting prohibits others from piggybacking and using my network. What else does it do?

From Context, I assume you are talking about using a password on your WiFi network.
The answer is "It Depends".
If you live in the middle of no where, then the chances of someone using your network or sniffing your traffic is small.
If you live in an apartment, or your neighbors homes are very close to yours, or there are lots of people driving/walking near your home, then the chances of someone using your WiFi are much higher.
Yes someone may be using your bandwidth. This means your web surfing may be slower as you are fighting with others to download graphics and such.
Chances are your ISP service aggrement says you are not suppose to let others uses your ISP connection.
If someone sniffs your network traffic, then they can see what you are doing on the interenet. The good news is that generally connections to your Bank, or when actually entering payment information while shopping on-line is encrypted between your computer and your bank or on-line store.
Your home router (aka WiFi base station) acts as a firewall from internet attempts to break into your computer, however, if someone can sit in their apartment and use your WiFi, they can also attempt to break into your Mac because they are inside your home network and your router is actually helping them in stead of blocking them. So do you trust your neighbors?

6101 - not allowing us to protect our privacy?

Is it possible for me to be able to delete the "recently used" numbers folder on my new, lovely mobile phone? Or at least to be able to delete certain numbers from this list? Or do we have to display every number recently texted to every time we want to send a message? If there is no way to do this then it is a terrble design! I don't necessarily want a list of all the numbers I've recently texted to come up on the screen every time I want to send a message!
This is basic privacy.

I, on the other hand, find that sort of thing a great convenience feature, because when sending messages, in the vast majority of cases it is always to the same few recipients.
And most of often I also don't have people looking over my shoulder when I send messages. And if that would be the case, turning around would solve that problem.
However, you can always delete recent calls/messages info from the phone (details in the phone's User's Guide). The online version you can find on http://www.nokia.com/phones/6101.Message Edited by petrib on 20-Dec-2005

Any way to protect changes to our code?

Hi All.
There are 2 implementors for the SAP Implementation that we are currently involved in.
For ease of use of client, both are supposed to follow the same naming convention.
Now, is there any way we can protect our objects from being changed by other party? For eg, I could think of an authorization group which gives access to only those SAP ID's we want. We can attach such an auth group to programs.
But is there any way to protect all possible changes - programs, dict objects etc?
Hope my query is clear.
Any clues?
Thanks in adv.

Hi
If your developers use own users (and nobody else can use those users), you can insert the flag to protect the editor.
This flag (is in the attributes of the report) can be removed only by the user setted it.

What's the best way to get user testing of our app (we're based in the UK)

Hi all.
We've just developed our first app for Palm and would really like to get some feedback from Palm users (our app allows users to take photos and send them as real printed postcards. We'd be very happy to give users free postcards in exchange for feedback).
The problem we have is that Palm users are pretty sparse in the UK. We've found that user testing with non-Palm users becomes handset testing rather than app testing. We have to teach them how to use Palm ("Where's the back button?") and so the testing mainly focuses on the particularities of Palm rather than our app. Plus, we don't benefit from the user being able to compare to other Palm apps.
Any advice on the best way to get feedback from Palm users? Especially as they'll need to download the SDK and install our app using it in order to get it onto their phones.
If any of the users of this forum are interested in giving the app a go and sending us feedback, I'd love to send you the IPK and then chat. Just send me an email using [email protected]
Our app is available for Pixi+, Pre+ and Pre2.
Thanks,
Freddie.
Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121ueu (SFR)

Hello freddie:
Welcome to the Palm Forums. Thank You for the offer. I highly suggest offering it up
to our many enthusiasts on Twitter as a beta with the #webos hashtag or joining
the Precentral.net community and list it in a topic there, homebrew beta. You would
get better beta response if you Package your app and put it in an ipk to simplify
the install.
Hope that helps... Best of luck with your app!

Is there a way to password protect a movie?

We have imovie in our school. We were looking to password protect our movies so other students could'nt tamper with them. Is this possible? If so how?

Have the students create a Sparse Disk Image, This also prevents fragmentation of the project across your disk. Set the target size at about what your intended goals are. Here I show Custom 20 GB.
Disk Utility>New Image>set the dialouge boxes as shown.
http://www.megimage.com/easyupload/picstore/200702/200702000000068.tiff
Sorry the format should have been Sparce Disk Image and not read/write disk image on the botton drop down list. A read/write will always remain the size you select in custom.
After the steps shown you will be required to type in a password and verify it. Before each use they would have to mount the disk image with thier password and when the movies is complete it will only take up the actual space used.
With MPEG-4 you can also protect your completed movies in various ways to be able to share it over the internet, DVD and prevent the content from being saved, copied or even viewed elsewhere as well. Some tools are available and it is my understanding that you can "create" your own. Contact Apple directly and they may be able to direct you to some educational resources for MPEG-4 IPMP-X or DRM software.

Password protecting a network

I just moved into a new house – a six-week sublet – and we’re using one of the apple wireless routers, but it’s painfully slow. It’s not password protected, so I imagine some of our neighbors are picking up on it. I’m sure the girls I moved in with don’t have any of the settings, passwords, etc. Is it still possible for me to figure out how to password protect our network?
Thanks!
Alec

Hi Alec
Yes - you can administer the Airport base station using the Airport Admin Utility in your Utilities folder. Launch it, and it should detect the base station on your network. The base station itself (not the network) may be protected by a password. You can reset the password by soft-resetting the base station:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451
Once you can access the station through Admin Utility, add protection to the wireless network as described here:

OAM: Deny On Not Protected, oc4j_soa is not starting correctly

Hi,
I have protected our soa suite with Oracle Access Manager, the webgate is protecting everything because "Deny On Not Protected" is enabled. I made an policy for all the default resources in the application server:
/em,/BPELConsole,/BPELAdmin,/ccore,/esb,/coreman,/policymanager,/gateway,/esb-dt,/deploy_service,/esb-rt,/hw_services,/orabpel,/ruleauthor,/rulehelp,/event,/integration,/bpel,/orainfra,/IdentityService,/javasso,/ascontrol,/datatags,/j2ee,/dms0.
Authentication Scheme Anonymous Authentication
But when we try to start the oc4j_soa container the BPEL processes are not shown in the BPELConsole. When we disable the
<LocationMatch "/*">
AuthType Oblix
require valid-user
</LocationMatch>
in the httpd.conf the oc4j_soa container is starting without any problems.
Is there any way to see what is blocked by the webgate? I put the access server logging on debug but I cannot find the problem.
I hope anyone can help me!
Kind regards,
Arjan

Problem solved, this was because of my DB listner was not properly UP.

How do I protect my Verizon blocked number when texting?

I was shocked to find that my Verizon iPhone blocked number was in fact revealed when I sent text to an Android user who was employing a little app refused by Apple named Mr. Number. I like to know that I am safe and protected and when and when I'm not. I like to have anonymity upon certain occasions when using my phone. I had always placed trust in Apple for ther supposedly having my best interests in mind as they control their world and the trade-off to us, their loyal consumers, was to expect a safe and well managed environment. I have found so many instances where this is not the case.
After finding that my blocked number was revealed to this Android user employing his Mr. Number app, I immediately did a search and ended up at the app store and downloaded everything I could find that promised to do a similar thing, though ultimately nothing did what Mr. Number does. I even paid for two or three of them and upon initial review, I found that not one actually even did what they claimed to do. I'll of course be spending more time with each to see if I've missed anything, but I have to say how very very dissappointed I am in Apple for not providing more security to its iPnone users when it surly must know what we are up against. Apple does in fact know about Mr. Number as after visiting their web site they state that "Apple doesn’t allow developers to build better calling and texting apps for the iPhone." I surly agree with this statement.
Apple! Please consider the vulnerability we have as you've not allowed us to protect our privacy sufficiently.
Are there any suggestions or resources, apps etc.., that I've not heard of? Any suggestions to making my phone more protected when it comes to my phone number and other information associated with it?
Many thanks in advance!

just assumed that I was being protected when using it. Not the case I find, by accident. So much for assuming...and not getting into the fine details with, I guess, Verizon as I pay them for the basic blocing service...or at least I think I pay...maybe ints included...
Caller number blocking { ie your number when you call someone } ONLY covers the CALL part of the service. There is NO way to block your phone number EVER when sending a text message.

SCCM Endpoint Protection Removal of Trend Micro OfficeScan v10 assistance

Hi,
I just thought i might ask this,
i see that Endpoint Protection has the ability to uninstall "Trend Micro OfficeScan"
We have "Trend Micro OfficeScan 10", we have protected ours with a password,
i would just like to know when i deploy the Endpoint Agent if it still has the ability to uninstall it altough it has a password connected to it
or would i need to manually uninstall it,
On big issue i have is that the password is one of 25 passwords also.
any assistance will do on this.
Kind Regards

It should be able to uninstall TrendMicro. The best thing is to test it against a collection with a few devices. You can control the SCEP installation by creating a custom client setting and deploy that to a test collection - it doesn't have to be a big

Protect your nano ideas and links NO COMPLAINTS PLS

DON'T TURN THIS INTO A SCRATCH COMPLAINT THREAD!!!!
OK. Apple has said the material on the nano is the same as their 4G iPod's. I'm good with that. I have a 4G iPod and I have a protector on the screen. Put it on the first day I owned it. My 6gig Mini also has a screen protector from the first day. I learned this from experience with 1st 2nd and 3rd gen iPods.
I think, in the absence of nano tubes, we should help each other find alternate methods of protecting our nanos. There are a bunch of scattered threads on what people are trying. Let's consolodate these into a single thread so folks can find info easily. I have used a few methods and have a few products on order and am willing to share my experience (If anyone cares) with these products. I know there are others who will gladly do the same.
Let's use this thread to offer up our experience with products that work well.
Decalgirl.com skins-
These are great if you like to hide the original appearance of the nano with some cool patterns or colors. The skins are really good but ther screen protectors and clear covers are not so great from what I have seen on the board. I did use their skin and was quite happy with it.
Martin Fields Overlays- www.overlayplus.com. These are clear high gloss protectors for the front and back. The links to images here look great. I have some on order and will post my experience later.
Podsplus- SIlicon case (I am using this now and it is great)
http://stores.ebay.com/PodsPlus_W0QQssPageNameZviQ3asibQ3astoreviewQQtZkm
This is very near to a nano tube. I got this yesterday I am very happy with it. The silicon is a bit slick. They say it is treated so it doesn't attract lint etc.. Nice look and feel. Fast shipping. Check it out.
Hopes this helps someone and I hope this doesn't turn into a complaint thread.

Best Way to protect the SOA Suite from Malware

Please forgive my ignorance on this ubject but I have had a question raised from a colleague who has asked how we are going to protect our systems against malware? The type we are thinking about are SOAP attachments? We are currenlty looking to secure our SOA Services using a OWSM gateway with signed digital certificate verification. We will also have the obvious firewall security but how can I satisfy this question?
Regards

Good question!! In today's world you cann't be sure about anything but security experts advice to use secure communication (like HTTPS) till your gateway. Gateway (may be a switch) should have two way SSL-authentication (client and server authentication,both) turned on. It will ensure that only truted connections can enter your network.
Additionally, you can have Digital Signing to make sure the non-repudiation and integrity of data(as sign has the message digest as well). For highest level of security you can have encryption as well. For all these processes you will require only two certificates -
1. Server certificate -- identity of your server (switch), will be used in Server Authentication
2. Client certificate -- For signing and encryption and for client authentication
Hope it helps.

Anuj
