Question about extension/substitution

I need to modify a standard page with a table to include some extra columns.
So I have a custom page which is a copy of the standard page's XML.
In order to do that, I need to add phrases in the select, from and where clauses in the Query.
I want to know what my best solution is:
1- Create copy of VO.
2- Create a substitution (I am not sure how this works. If I create a substitution, does it call my custom VO everytime a controller calls the standard VO? this would be ideal)
3- Create an extension (wouldnt this be similar to creating my own copy of the VO? coz nothing will reference my custom VO)
Would appreciate any help..
thanks!!

You can extend the VO and then through personalization add columns to page.
To extend the VO, you need to get all VO related files from server, extend the VO by substituting the parent (base) VO and then deploy the custom VO on server and import the project.jpx
Please go through extension and personalization given in OADevGuide.
Thanks,

Question about Extensions

I've been trying to get a Virtual COM Port driver to work in Mac OS and have largely set the permissions and group for the driver correctly. However, when I try to update with:
kextcache -e
it tells me the archive is too large and aborts. I'm wondering if this is somehow why after reboot the VCP still isn't seen and the device is still absent from /dev.
My question is: can I delete kext files that I know are not needed. For example, I'm using a Mac Mini with integrated video, can I delete all the ATI and nVidia GeForce kext files?

Hi Tom,
SQL Developer ships with all the migration extensions included.
The only thing required to "activate" these extension is to tell SQL Developer where the relevant JDBC driver is.
For SQL Server and Sybase the JDBC driver is called JTDS (1.2) .
JTDS JDBC driver can be installed automatically by Check For Updates, or you can download the JTDS driver from its website and then use SQL Developer Tools > Preferences > Databases > Third Party JDBC Driver: to reference the JTDS jar file.
SQL Developer 2.1.1 does not support SQL Server 2008.

OA Framework Extension / Substitution question

OA Framework Extension / Substitution question:
I am not sure how to do the following, any input will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Oracle Application has a page on table “FND_NEW_MESSAGES” – Related Entity object is “FndNewMessagesEO” and View object is “FndMessagesResultSetVO”. Primary key on this table is “APPLICATION_ID, MESSAGE_NAME and LANGUAGE_CODE”. I want to extend this page and add my own table say “CUST_FND_NEW_MSG_EXT” with the same primary key and has an extended column “EXTRA_MESG1”.
How do I extend this page to include my new table / column and make select/update/insert work?
Questions:
1.     Should I create EO for my new table say CustExtEO
2.     Create an association between FndNewMessageEO and CustExtEO
3.     Then create CustExtVO and extend FNDMessagesResultSetVO and build view on FndNewMessageEO and CustExtEO and then perform substitution?
Or
1.     Should I create EO for my new table say CustExtEO
2.     Create CustExtVO
3.     Create an View Link between FndNewMessageVO and CustExtVO
4.     Then what??
More questions:
1.     Can I achieve this by not writing any code?
2.     Can the EO Association or View Link automatically insert / update my new table after I do the substitution?
3.     FndNewMessageVO has join to tables “FND_NEW_MESSAGES, FND_APPLICATION_VL, FND_LANGUAGES_VL, FND_LOOKUPS” – when you do an insert / update how does OA Framework know that it has to insert / update the corresponding tables?

Well, if you want to have the page based on your custom table, then you will have to create new VO, EO. You cann't use extension in that case.
1. Can I achieve this by not writing any code?No.
.2. Can the EO Association or View Link automatically insert / update my new table after I do the substitution?You need to have new EO, VO based on your new table.
3. FndNewMessageVO has join to tables “FND_NEW_MESSAGES, FND_APPLICATION_VL, FND_LANGUAGES_VL, FND_LOOKUPS” – when you do an insert / update how does OA Framework know that it has to insert / update the corresponding tables?
EO handles all the insert, update.
For more details go through the Dev guide.

Beginner Question about Substitution in 0kem

Good morning everyone,
I'm new to ABAP and have been assigned a project with using a substitution for the Profit Center. I've been looking around and can't seem to find an answer to a basic question - does a substitution only work if a sales order is created in VA01 or does it also activate when a sales order is modified? I can't seem to activate the substitution rule even though I have gone through all the correct steps to create one. I'm wondering if it's because the test data only has me modify a previously created profit center when I need to create a new one? Sorry if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it with all my googling.

Hi,
It only works at the time of sale order creation.

Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
#1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
#2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
#3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
#4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
#5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

2. I want to replace the HD with a 128GB SSD 840. When I replace these drives, will my OS still be in tact? I have never done this job before.
No. You will have to format the drives in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install the OSX by using the original install disks.
3.) I want to replace the ram sticks to max capacity. This is 2 2GB sticks, Correct?
No. An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
4.) Most difficult...
I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
Cannot help you there.
5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
You are not obligated to use iTunes.
6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
All MBPs have back lighted keyboards. Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.
Ciao.

Question about Kurts comments discussing the seperation of AIA & CDP - Test Lab Guide: Deploying an AD CS Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy - Kurt L Hudson MSFT

Question about the sentence in bold. What is the meaning behind this comment?
How would you separate the role of the AIA and CDP from a CA subordinate server? I can see where I add a CES and CEP server which has those as well, but I don't completely understand his comment. Because in this second step, (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tlg-key-based-renewal.aspx)
he shows how to implement CES and CEP.
This is from the guide located at: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831348.aspx
Step 3: Configure APP1 to distribute certificates and CRLs
In the extensions of the root CA, it was stated that the CRL from the root CA would be available via http://www.contoso.com/pki. Currently, there is not a PKI virtual directory on APP1, so one must be created.
In a production environment, you would typically separate the issuing CA role from the role of hosting the AIA and CDP.
However, this lab combines both in order to reduce the number of resources needed to complete the lab.
Thanks,
James

My concern is, they have a 2-3k base of xp systems, over this year they are migrating them to Windows 7. During this time they will also be upgrading hardware for the existing windows 7 machines. The turnover of certificates are going to be high, which
from what I've read here, it worries me.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/06/24/implementing-an-ocsp-responder-part-i-introducing-ocsp.aspx
The application then can go to those locations to download the CRL. There are, however, some potential issues with this scenario. CRLs over time can get rather large
depending on the number of certificates issued and revoked. If CRLs grow to a large size, and many clients have to download CRLs, this can have a negative impact on network performance. More importantly, by
default Windows clients will timeout after 15 seconds while trying to download a CRL. Additionally,
CRLs have information about every currently valid certificate that has been revoked, which is an excessive amount of data given the fact that an application may only need the revocation status for a few certificates. So,
aside from downloading the CRL, the application or the OS has to parse the CRL and find a match for the serial number of the certificate that has been revoked.
With the above limitations, which mostly revolve around scalability, it is clear that there are some drawbacks to using CRLs. Hence, the introduction of Online Certificate
Status Protocol (OCSP). OCSP reduces the overhead associated with CRLs. There are server/client components to OCSP: The OCSP responder, which is the server component, and the OCSP Client. The OCSP Responder accepts status
requests from OCSP Clients. When the OCSP Responder receives the request from the client it then needs to determine the status of the certificate using the serial number presented by the client. First the OCSP Responder determines if it has any cached responses
for the same request. If it does, it can then send that response to the client. If there is no cached response, the OCSP Responder then checks to see if it has the CRL issued by the CA cached locally on the OCSP. If it does, it can check the revocation status
locally, and send a response to the client stating whether the certificate is valid or revoked. The response is signed by the OCSP Signing Certificate that is selected during installation. If the OCSP does not have the CRL cached locally, the OCSP Responder
can retrieve the CRL from the CDP locations listed in the certificate. The OCSP Responder then can parse the CRL to determine the revocation status, and send the appropriate response to the client.

thank you all for helping.
I will write more information about my questions may this help others:
*{ /WEB-INF/web.xml* - The +Web Application Deployment
Descriptor+ for your application. This is an XML file describing
the servlets and other components that make up your application,
along with any initialization parameters and container-managed
security constraints that you want the server to enforce for you.
This file is discussed in more detail in the following subsection.
As mentioned above, the <code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file contains the
Web Application Deployment Descriptor for your application. As the filename
extension implies, this file is an XML document, and defines everything about
your application that a server needs to know (except the context path,
which is assigned by the system administrator when the application is
deployed).
The complete syntax and semantics for the deployment descriptor is defined
in Chapter 13 of the Servlet API Specification, version 2.3. Over time, it
is expected that development tools will be provided that create and edit the
deployment descriptor for you. In the meantime, to provide a starting point,
a [basic web.xml file|http://localhost:8080/docs/appdev/web.xml.txt]
is provided. This file includes comments that describe the purpose of each
included element.
NOTE - The Servlet Specification includes a Document
Type Descriptor (DTD) for the web application deployment descriptor, and
Tomcat 6 enforces the rules defined here when processing your application's
<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file. In particular, you must
enter your descriptor elements (such as <code><filter></code>,
<code><servlet></code>, and <code><servlet-mapping></code> in
the order defined by the DTD (see Section 13.3).

Question about autodiscover in case of multiple bound namespace

Hi Experts,
I have a question about the autodiscover behaviour. Let's assume we have the below infrastructure:
SiteA :
MBX-Server-SiteA : Member of a DAG
CAS-Server-SiteA : outlook anywhere url = siteA.domain.com
SiteB :
MBX-Server-SiteB : Member of a DAG
CAS-Server-SiteB-1 : outlook anywhere url = siteB-1.domain.com
CAS-Server-SiteB-2: outlook anywhere url = siteB-2.domain.com
We have DB-1 and DB-2 that have copies in both MBX servers.
My question is how does exchange select the access URLs to return in the autodiscover process? I know that it depends on where the mailbox is hosted but can't find details about the process in the technet articles.
Thanks.

There's quite a few details that are involved in the Autodiscover process. First of all - probably the most important thing is that there are 2 stages to the whole process.
In the first stage, the client is simply concerned with getting the address of a CAS server that will help it further. We'll keep things simple and assume your scenario where the client is located inside the network and is domain-joined. The details of the
LDAP query are detailed in
this link. (At the time I was investigating this I've actually went ahead and ran the queries using the ldp.exe client against the Configuration partition of the respective AD domain - it's worth seeing the actual responses.) An interesting trick here is
the 'keywords' attribute that's stamped on those SCP entries. The reason behind it is that you don't want a client located in a site to go half across the globe in order to connect to a CAS server, when there's one available in its own site. One simple way
to get the 'keywords' attribute stamped is through the Set-ClientAccessServer cmdlet, using the -AutodiscoverSiteScope parameter. In your example, you'd probably want to run it against the CAS server in Site A and specify the name of the corresponding AD site
('SiteA') and correspondingly against the 2 CAS servers in Site B (using 'SiteB'). Once the client has got the response to his query, it will attempt to select one server that's handling the site he's in (essentially it will filter the results based on 'keywords'
-contains <client-site>). Now that we got our endpoint we can go to stage 2.
In stage 2, the client will actually use EWS in order to query the Autodiscover service itself running on our target server. There are 2 possible interfaces of accessing the Autodiscover service: POX (Plain Old XML) and SOAP. POX will be targeting the ../Autodiscover.xml
URLS, while the SOAP one will be using ../Autodiscover.svc URLs. Details about this including some hardcoded parts are
here. What happens next is detailed in point 3, section 2.1 The Autodiscover Process
here. This last link is the key to the whole process:
"It provides a list of CAS that has AutodiscoverSiteScope information set for the
Associated AD site of the Database where the client Mailbox is located."
In other words, the CAS is smart enough to return the URLs belonging to a CAS server in the AD site where the client's mailbox' database is active.
My advice is to test this on your scenario. Tests can be done here first-hand: the Outlook's tray icon Test E-Mail AutoConfiguration can be used or alternatively - if you want to see the details in the communication - SoapUI
for the SOAP access method, for POX there's an extension called 'Postman for Chrome' that can be used. I've used all these in my tests back when I was fighting conflicting results from the articles around the web about Autodiscover.
That's a long way of saying we get the AutoD URL of a CAS server closest to the workstation, which then provides the configuration to use which are the the URLs closest to the mailbox :)
By all means look at the SOAP response, but Outlook will only use POX. Lync does SOAP along with other 3rd party apps.

Some questions about SAP esourcing

Hi expert,
I have one question about SAP eSourcing. In RFQ document, before RFQ award is published, our customer do not want the price of RFx response disclosed to collaborators. After the award is published, the price can be released to collaborators. As I know, we can use page customization to hide page field. But the price is collection field. So I failed to use page customization to hide it.
Pls advise me how to realize it.

Question about HTML files using TextEdit

First off, I wanted to ask if this is the proper place to post a question about HTML/XHTML. I couldn't really find anywhere else that seemed to fit better, but please point me in the right direction if this is not the place. Thanks.
Moving on -- here's my question:
I'm having trouble with working with HTML files in TextEdit. I'm on a Mac, using TextEdit as my HTML editor (I can not afford one of these other HTML editors, and I like using a simple text editor like TextEdit for HTML). Here's my problem: I open a new rich text document in TextEdit and write my HTML and then choose File>Save As and choose "HTML" under the File Format drop-down box. Having saved this file as an HTML file, I then open Safari and choose File>Open File and select my HTML file; however, when I do this, my web page's text does not appear in the browser window. Instead, the HTML code itself appears in the browser window, as if the browser was not interpreting it as HTML and converting it. The same problem happens when saving the file as a .htm file using Microsoft Word for Mac.
So, as another solution (at the suggestion of a helpful poster in a previous thread), I tried creating a plain text file in TextEdit (instead of a rich text file like before). Now, in TextEdit there is no option for saving plain text files as HTML files, so I simply save it as a Unicode-8 format and then find the file in Finder and change the extension to .htm myself (I've tried .html as well). This, fortunately enough, actually works! When I open the file in Safari I get to see my web page as expected. However, the first time I quit out of the application TextEdit and then try to reopen my .htm file in TextEdit, I no longer can see my HTML code. Instead, TextEdit shows me the actual web page text that I would expect to see when I open the file in a browser, and my HMTL code is lost.
Can someone please help me here? There has to be a way to edit HTML in TextEdit without the code disappearing every time you quit out of the application and reopen the HTML file. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's the problem -- once I convert it to plain text there is no longer an HTML option under the Save As drop down menu. The drop down menu's title is Plain Text Encoding instead of File Format and the only options I get are Unicode-8, Unicode-16, Western, Chinese, and so forth. I can save it as an HTML file, but only if the file is rich text, which doesn't work for HTML.
So, I can save it as plain text (.txt) and then go and change the extension myself, and like I said, it works if I do that. I can edit HTML in TextEdit and open the file properly in Safari to view my web page. The problem is (I went over all this in my first post) that, after that, if I exit TextEdit and reopen it, my document is no longer HTML code -- it is now simply the text of the web site as if I had opened it in a broswer.
What do you suggest I do?

CFC's - Question about coding guidelines

I have a question about the following section in the
CF
Coding guidelines
quote:
{cfmxroot}
---wwwroot/ » web-accessible .cfm pages and .cfc Web
Services
---extensions/
--------components/ » tree for .cfc files
--------customtags/ » tree for .cfm custom tags
--------includes/ » tree for include files
---config/ » tree for configuration files
This implies that we have two Custom Tag Paths set up in the
CFMX Administrator:
{cfmxroot}/extensions/components/
{cfmxroot}/extensions/customtags/
We also have mappings for the root of the includes tree (for
cfinclude) and the custom tags tree (for cfimport):
/cfinclude » {cfmxroot}/extensions/includes/
/customtags » {cfmxroot}/extensions/customtags/
1. Why would you want to add both a custom tag path
AND a mapping for " {cfmxroot}/extensions/customtags/"?
2. The guidelines seems to imply you should use a custom tag
path for components, instead of a mapping. If the "components"
directory is already outside the webroot, then adding a CF mapping
shouldn't make it web accessible, right? So is there any benefit to
using a custom tag path versus a mapping?

It is up to you where you put your components and where you
put your custom tags. The standard way, as I know it, at least, is
to create a mapping for your cfc directory on the
Mappings page of the Coldfusion Administrator and to
register the path to your custom tag directory on the
Extensions/Custom Tag Paths page. In answer to your first
question, you will also need to create a mapping for a custom tag
directory if you intend to call tags using the template-attribute
of cfmodule.
Coldfusion considers the directory-path that you register on
the
Extensions/Custom Tag Paths page an absolute path. That is
what enables you to call a tag directly by name on any page of your
application, for example,
<cf_myCustomTag>.
One consequence is, if you stored a component myComp.cfc in
such a directory, you could instantiate it on any page simply by
running
<cfset myObj = createobject("component","myComp")>
However, this doesn't offer anything a mapping wouldn't. So,
in answer to the second question, I don't think one should use a
custom tag path for components. Mixing one's custom tags with one's
components only produces an oil-plus-water structure.

Question about octave analysis

Hello !
I have the following question about the octave analysis vi's.
When the single octave analysis is made, shouldn't there be 3 bands below 100 Hz ?
According to the octave analysis subvi, the bands should be located at 16, 31.5 and 64 Hz.
I've tryed to make a comparison between octave, 1/3 octave and 1/24 octave.
It seems there is no difference.
I'm running LabView 8.5.1 with SVT 6.0 on windows 7 professional.
This is not happening. See the attached vi for an example of the problem.

I also have problems with octave analysis, I'm making the acquisition of a pink noise from my audio card and checking the response curve through an analysis of octaves, to obtain a flat response curve, I need to set a number of samples of at least 88200, but this way I can not get a high-speed acquisition, only about one aquisition/second, putting a value of 2000 samples the speed is adequate, but the response curve in octaves loses response below 1000 Hz gradually until around 20 Hz is practically nil, I need help please.

Possible newbe to Appleworld has 11 questions about Ipad2

Hello everybody,
As a Windows user I am very interested in the Ipad 2 as so to become a member of the AppleWorld. But still I have some questions about the Ipad2 and hopefully somebody can help me with my questions:
1) Is the only way to install the applications by using the Itunes Store? Or can it also be dragged and dropped and than installed like in Windows.
2) If the anwser on the first question is "YES", what happens than if you install programs using Itunes and for some reason you have to format the Ipad? Do you have to download them again? Pay for them again? or is it something like the Wii, that you can download the payed ones so many times you want on the same Ipad?
3) Can you play normal DIVX movies on the Ipad or do you have to convert them to Mp4 always?
4) Can you see normal PDF files or do they neede to be converted also?
5) I have read that it doesnñ´t support flash for example, so how cna you see Youtube movies or CNN reports on teh Ipad?
6) The battery life is somewhat 10 hours, but as we know in life, all the batteries die after x years. Can you cange them by yourself? Or do you need to go to a Applestore and they change it? And if so, is it expensive?
7) Can you just drag and drop your own MP3 collection on it?
8) I have a PDA which I use with a GPS device (using Bluetooth), and using the program TomTom. Does the Ipad has a program similar as TomTom? Does anybody has had experience with it?
9) I have in my home a private network using Wifi and cable. Can I connect an Ipad and then searching for excample my PC harddrive for a movie? Is that possible to link the world of Apple with the World of MS?
10) Where can I take a look of all the Apps for the Ipad2? Do I first have to install Itunes, even if I do not have an Ipad2?
11) My primary use for the Ipad will be: reading mail, surf the web, read PDf files and maybe see some videos. I suppose the Ipad2 can do all that (and more). I thought of the 32GB, should it be enough? I mean of the 32GB, what finally have you for using/storing?
Many thx for helping me and I hope to be very soon a part of this "new" world for me.

You download apps directly to the iPad from the App Store app which is preinstalled on the iPad. You can also download the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.
2) If the anwser on the first question is "YES", what happens than if you install programs using Itunes and for some reason you have to format the Ipad? Do you have to download them again? Pay for them again? or is it something like the Wii, that you can download the payed ones so many times you want on the same Ipad?
You do not have to "format" apps for the iPad if you download them in iTunes on your computer. If you purchase an app, if you need to download it again, there is no charge.
3) Can you play normal DIVX movies on the Ipad or do you have to convert them to Mp4 always?
Read the requirements on this link.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
4) Can you see normal PDF files or do they neede to be converted also?
You can download iBooks in the App Store as a free download to view and save PDF files. If someone emails you a PDF, you will be able to open and read it in the Mail App once you set up your email.
5) I have read that it doesnñ´t support flash for example, so how cna you see Youtube movies or CNN reports on teh Ipad?
It does not support Flash. There is a preinstalled YouTube App on every iPad. Many websites are using html5 which makes a lot of video content available while surfing the web on an iPad.
6) The battery life is somewhat 10 hours, but as we know in life, all the batteries die after x years. Can you
cange them by yourself? Or do you need to go to a Applestore and they change it? And if so, is it expensive?
You must have the battery replaced by Apple. I easily get 10-12 hours a day from a full charge. Read about the iPad battery care here.

7) Can you just drag and drop your own MP3 collection on it?
You sync music and other content from your iTunes library on your computer, so you will need to install iTunes on your computer. Your computer must meet minimum requirements which are detailed in the iPad specs website referred to above. This site will give you more information on iOS 4.2, the newest software on the iPad.

8) I have a PDA which I use with a GPS device (using Bluetooth), and using the program TomTom. Does the Ipad has a program similar as TomTom? Does anybody has had experience with it?
All iPads have a preinstalled Maps App for directions. Navigation Apps are available in the App Store.
9) I have in my home a private network using Wifi and cable. Can I connect an Ipad and then searching for excample my PC harddrive for a movie? Is that possible to link the world of Apple with the World of MS?
Yes you can "link" the two worlds. Peace and harmony have come to the land of the iPad.
The newest software on the iPad has a feature called Home Sharing that allows you to view content on your computer, in your iTunes library on your iPad without having to sync the movie to the iPad. This allows you to free up storage space on you iPad but still be able to enjoy all of the movies and TV shows that you have purchased.
10) Where can I take a look of all the Apps for the Ipad2? Do I first have to install Itunes, even if I do not have an Ipad2
You do not have to install iTunes to see some of the apps that are available for the iPad. You can Google IPad apps and there any number of websites that talk about and review apps. You can go to Apple's iPad and/or iTunes websites and navigate through them to see some of available apps.
11) My primary use for the Ipad will be: reading mail, surf the web, read PDf files and maybe see some videos. I suppose the Ipad2 can do all that (and more). I thought of the 32GB, should it be enough? I mean of the 32GB, what finally have you for using/storing?
Because of the new Home Sharing feature you can download loads of video content and not have to keep it on your iPad if you want to view it. Only you can be the judge of how much storage capacity you will need. From your brief description, the middle of the road 32GB model should be fine. If your are a gamer at all, some of the bigger name games can take up 700 or MB and videos and movies can be 3-4GB as well, but you can keep those in your iTunes library as mentioned previously. And remember, a very extensive music or photo collection can take up a good bit of storage as well.

Question about Removing Permissions from the System Folder with chmod

Hi
I have a question about the removal of permissions from the System folder (and sub directories and files).
Background
Since installing a new HD, clean install of 10.6, application of updates and moving over backed up user directories I have had several issues with permissions.
I have read several threads on this and using disk warrior and other tools I have been able to fix most of the issues.
The Problem
The issue that remains is a permissions check using Disk Utility keeps reporting
ACL found but not expected on "System".
followed by an extensive list of sub directories and all.
Attempts to repair take hours and the same errors are reported.
Found Solutions
I have read about changing and/or completely removing the ACL from the permissions from the System using two different commands:
sudo chmod -R -N ./System/* ( to remove all ACLs)
or
sudo chmod -R -E ./System/* ( to replace all ACLs )
My Question is ( to the UNIX gurus):
What is the difference between the usage with -E and -R and which is the best approach for a Systems directory and (subordinates)?
Many thanks!!

OK
So I misread on the your instructions about the PW reset, did it, no harm in that. I did also select the options to reset all the permissions for all the accounts and the ACL issues were not resolved. My bad, I forgot to note that.
You do suggest getting and expert opinion but alas these are rather elusive. In most cases the Apple solutions is to do a complete reinstall... I have found that unless you completely wipe a drive and rebuild everything there are often artifacts left behind. Since I have full and redundant back-ups I would rather explore and hack a little instead of a dull old system reinstall. The irony is the system issue I had was it was the result a reinstall and combo update on a new drive. I recognize the risks of entering the realms of the System folders but I am willing to explore knowing full well that I have a path to recovery.
Thanks again for your insights. I come to the forums looking for insights and ideas but not a lecture...

Questions about the T410s

Hey guys,
I'm considering buying the T410s because my last laptop was a Dell XPS and the GPU burned down after two years. I am a college student and I use my laptops quite extensively for homework, flash games, TV and movies. And I have a couple of questions about the T410s.
1. Due to my previous experience with my Dell XPS, I am looking for a more reliable laptop. So would I have to worry about the T410s heating up/burning down or breaking in like two years?
2. I am not much of a gamer, but enjoy videos sometimes. Will the Intel graphics card be able to run 'not so intense' games like Starcraft 2?
3. Also, would the 4gig of RAM be sufficient to run the Windows 7 64bit smoothly or I should choose the 32bit instead?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) your Dell XPS used the Nvidia GPU? That won't happen in the new T410s.
2) the Intel 5700 MHD GPU can handle 1080p easily, but games like Starcraft 2 may only played on low to med settings.
the Nvidia GPU Optimus GPU option would allow 4 LCD support through the dock, if you ever want to connect that many LCD in the future.
3) 4 gigs is fine for 64 bit OS.

Jin Li
