Question for anyone who has the American Ball game

I've been spending a lot of time saving up my tickets in American Ball so I can unlock some more items.
I've finally reached 5,000 tickets and I'm wondering if the table that costs 5,000 tickets is worth it.
Is there any difference between the different skee-ball tables aside from the appearance? For example, does the skee-ball table that costs 5,000 tickets have a higher ticket pay-out than the one that only costs 1,000 tickets? Or is it basically just a different skin with all the same features?

Hi Julio,
I sat exam 98-364: Database Fundamentals just to see what the MTA exams were like and found the question difficulty and content very similar to what was outlined in the study guide available from Certiport. I found
the exam rather easy however I've had quite a lot of experience with databases and also have a number of other Microsoft database certifications.
You need to keep in mind that the MTA exams are designed for people who are just starting an IT career path or are looking to enhance their understanding of IT fundamentals i.e. These exams are really for beginners. As stated by Davin, you'd probably be
better off looking into the MCSD: Web Applications certifications.

For Anyone who has Blackberry Connect WITH OTA Con...

I've tried with an E61i, E90, and now E51, all with the latest firmware and latest Blackberry Connect software, and nothing I do on the device allows me to be able to do OTA sync of our corporate Exchange, (Outlook), Contacts. I only have the standard 3 options for sync in my Blackberry Connect client on my phone, Email Settings, Email Filters, and Calendar.
For anyone who has this working, can you confirm whether or not there is a BES server side setting that must be enabled to allow this OTA Contact sync, and what it is? If this is the case I'm not sure our corporate BES admin will go for it, but I can at least stop pulling my hair out on the client side..
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the link. I did went there and had a look.
First, as the article pointed out, there is a difference between Mac users and PC users. Mac users are Mac FANs, PC user are mostly just PC users. So if I look at the numbers, the number for Macs is less objective to me.
Second, the data was collected on pre-Intel units, especially iBooks, which has been around how many years? more than 5 I believe, correct me if I am wrong. Any product having that kind of life span should have a nearly perfect quality. Apple just simply had much more time to correct defect than other PC manufaturers, so no mistery here.
Third, Apple charges a premium price for its products, so it shoule choose the coponent vendors carefully and it owns its customers/fans a solid system. On the other hand, the other PC vendors are constantly going through fierce competition to lower their price, so it is inevitable to have some component vendors providing crapy parts, such as some LCD screens and keyboards from Dell.
Finally, lets look at MB and MBP, if they are as good as old Macs, then we should see similar amount of people complaining about MB and MBP as iBook and similar, but is it the case?
I very much want to be a member of the Mac world, especially now it uses one chip I worked on, but my shopping and reading experience told me otherwise - the MacBook is not ready, we need time to see if it lives up to the Apple name and it would be interesting what the next report from PC Magzine will look like...
Being a PC user almost all my life till now, want to join the Mac club, but Apple is making it supper hard for me. Is it really too much to ask for a working new MacBook upon arrival?!

Anyone who has the src of JavaTM Look and Feel Design (second edition)?

Anyone who has the src of JavaTM Look and Feel Design (second edition)? It would be really appreciated to let me know.
Thanks -

My bad, my post was unclear.
I wasn't sure what you meant by src. You clarified that point.
By (re)reading parts of the online text book, I realized that it's quite outdated. They really should issue a more up-to-date version.

Question for anyone who uses temperature monitor

i think my temperature monitor is broken..i had it on my last macbook and it worked fine..but this one says my computer is constantly at 21*Celcius...and i've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it..what is the best temperature monitor?

None of these these temperature monitors are going to work right with the current Intel Duo Core chips. It's an Intel processor design fault. I got this info from the Hardware Monitor developer.
Q: I have a Mac with an Intel Core Solo or Core Duo processor.
Sometimes, the temperature readings seems to "hang" and are no longer
being refreshed. Is this a problem with the application?
A: No, this problem is caused by an internal design flaw of current
versions of Intel Core processors. The Digital Thermal Sensors may
stop working when the processor returns from a C3/C4 power saving
state. Intel plans to correct this hardware bug for future steppings
of the CPU.
Intel refers to this hardware problem as Erratum AE18. For detailed
information, please see Intel document 30922204

For anyone who has tried to read the ICCCM

the greatest rant ever:
http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug- … 00054.html
English football hooligans -- if I want to get a
short message to the other side of the field, do I use my ICCCM-based X
Window PDA? no, I tell it to a random hooligan, poke him in the ribs and
hope he gets riled up enough to start a riot. Will my message get to the
other side? who knows? at least the resulting carnage will be more orderly
than that fucking Interclient protocol.

thank you Cowboy! I was about to unplug...
I'll give it another hour and see what happens, I don't think this is good though.

? for anyone who has backed up on DVD

I was going to back up my Itunes on DVD. I have around 7 GB stored in my Library. I figured since a dvd can hold 4.7 GB, it would only take me 2 Dvds to back up.
Yesterday, I was about to start the process and Itunes estimated it would take this long:
5:11:33:16
What does that mean????? It cant mean
5 days 11 Hrs 33min and 16 sec
Am I doing something wrong????

CMoe,
i "Am I doing something wrong????"
In my opinion, Yes.
Sure...You can let iTunes can manage the backup process for you. See: Using iTunes for Backing up your music files
It works fine (while incomplete)
b but,
I prefer more control over my backup process, and I also backup all my data files at the same time not just music files. It is also my understanding that using iTunes to manage this process
b does not
maintain the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your playlist, ratings, comments, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If your music is located under one common Folder, then I find it easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, easily, and incrementally several times a day, if necessary.
In the case of a complete or semi-total loss, I can just re-copy my entire (or partial) music library to wherever I want, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the meta-data files, this completes a full restore of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to quickly perform
i incremental backups
of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in, but I use another program (FileSync: http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there, some as freeware or shareware. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/used in any program.
In your case with DVDs, just split the total 'iTunes' folder and sub-folders into two separate parts where each will fit onto a DVD. Copy using Windows Explorer (Drag&Drop) or another DVD burning utility. This way, you backup the comlete iTunes Library: music data, folder structures, and the ITL database file.
Just my opinion, though....

? for anyone who has upgraded to 1.1.3

How long did it take for the update to actually happen? My phone has been sitting for about an hour now with the apple logo and the little circle thing below it.
I'm on a broadband connection so speed shouldn't be an issue and the green bar on iTunes is all the way done but nothing has happened...
Just curious if this is normal?

thank you Cowboy! I was about to unplug...
I'll give it another hour and see what happens, I don't think this is good though.

Questions for anyone who is familiar with Apple's Pages application

I'm writing something on page layout software and have some questions about Apple's Pages product:
Does Pages let you import native Photoshop files?
Import native AI files with PDF preview?
Regular PDF files?
Does Pages let you work in CMYK?
Spot colors?
Spot and CMYK together?
Export to PDF?
You don't have to answer all these. I can use any help I can get.

I just did a little testing. The current version of Pages in iWork 08 did better than I expected. It has both Word Processor and Page Layout modes. Page Layout mode lets you add real pages and word like a layout application.
It places Photoshop and AI files with PDF preview, and the first page of a regular PDF file (I couldn't find where you could choose pages). Choose Insert > Choose. The Help says it accepts all QuickTime-supported file formats.
"After importing an image into a document, you can mask (crop) it and change its brightness and other settings. You can place an image inside a shape, text box, chart element, or table cell. Pages also lets you work with graphics with transparency (alpha-channel graphics)."
Also supports adding 2 and 3D charts, sounds, movies.
I created objects and colored them with the CMYK sliders. I didn't see a way of choosing spot colors.
PDF is one of the export formats (without the choices of course of InDesign). It correctly exported the PSD, AI file, and PDF. It correctly passed the spot colors in the AI and PDF files into the exported PDF. And the CMYK-colored pages objects came out in CMYK!
Much better than Microsoft Word.

This is an answer for anyone who had the same problem i had my itune shows stopped playing they were frozen noone new what to do all i did was click on "store"in corner of itunes screen scroll down click authorize!

Hands up for anyone who loves the present iphone design and just want the phone to get better, but look same.

Personal domain.... easy question for someone who has done it.. easy points

If i forward my www.vegasablaze.com to mobile me from go daddy and set up the personal domain in my mobile me account will my address bar read http://www.vegasablaze.com or will it read my mobile me site address? ie http://web.me.com/example/Site/Welcome.html? See once i posted my site to godaddy i lost my blog ability. But I dont want people to se my mobile me address. So I would like to forward to personal domain. but am afraid if it goes to my mobile me it would look unprofessional..

Personal Domain replaces the web.me.com/username part of the URL with the domain name, with the subsequent folder and filenames on the end, so that to take your example of
http://web.me.com/example/Site/Welcome.html
people entering http://domainname.com
would be taken to the welcome page and the URL showing will be
http://domainname.com/Site/Welcome.html
However note that when you do this the original web.me.com URL still works and is searchable by Google. Though casual visitors to your domain won't see the real URL, it's not difficult to find it.

Question for anyone who loves Air Attack HD

I love this game, but can you tell me how to use more than one mission out of the eight available? I'm obviously missing something. I'm stuck on the same mission every time as far as I can tell.

Is it a progressive thing where you have to complete one level, without being destroyed yourself, before you can move to the next level? In other words, you can't just pick your mission?

I need feedback from anybody who has the 2011 baseline 15" MacBook Pro

I need anyone who has the new baseline 15" MacBook Pro to give me feedback. Like, is it fast enough, is the resolution ok, is the hard drive fast enough at 5400 rpm or is it slow in transferring data, especially this point, does it require any upgrade, and all that other stuff.

Perform a SMC Reset, it could be causing your battery problems.

I'll assume that you are referring to purchasing a book in iTunes. If that is the case, you can transfer the purchase with the phone, or you can sync the phone and iTunes.

Is it time yet for Microsoft to "Recall" Office 2013 and provide anyone who has a 2013 license a replacement Office 2010 license?

The interface is terrible and can't be changed. Every application in the suite locks up/crashes nearly constantly on any machine it is used on. The activation process is terrible and wastes hours of any support/IT dept's time. From a 'privacy
standpoint', the software is seemingly criminally intrusive. It is clearly a product that should never have been released and is so far from functional that it can't be repaired by any 'service pack', 'hotfix', or 'patch'. It needs to be completely
scrapped.
The only 'redeeming quality' of this software is that the guy who was in charge of creating it is gone from Microsoft. (Unfortunately, he is now President Obama's appointee for running the attempt at repairing the 'healthcare.gov' website...
out of the frying pan... )
When the software is installed using one profile (domain or machine account) and a different profile tries to use the software, it requires 're-activation' - which often fails because the software believes it has been installed multiple times. (This is particularly
frustrating because it has to be installed by an administrative user, but most of the time, the person who 'uses' the software is not the 'administrator' - so it is almost always being 'installed' using one profile and 'used' using another profile).
The necessary intrusion into privacy created by the requirement of a "Microsoft Account" to use the software is seemingly criminal.
The tracking of, and installation of licenses is absolutely ridiculous.
An example:
Many of my clients have many users and many computers (up to 75 or so).
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'user', but these machines get moved between users, and the software license is tied to the 'machine' and not to the 'user' so as soon as that happens, the licenses and the users are no longer
in line and become impossible to track.
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'computer'... and I can't even count the ways this would be a nightmare to try to track.
I actually did that up front for one client, and created Exchange email boxes for each computer so that "prove you are really you" emails from Microsoft could be received managed, and responded to, and passed out second usernames and passwords
to all of the users so they could "log-in" to their Office 2013 software, and created a database of the 'computer usernames and passwords' so I could track this... unfortunately, this confused the users (as it rightfully should) so they would change
the passwords for their computer's 'Microsoft User Account' thus locking me out and invalidating my database, ... and... CLUSTERF#%K!!!
As a 'best - worst case', I have had to create a single 'Microsoft User Account" for each of my clients' businesses so I can install and activate Office 2013 products. This is a whole new set of "Awesome Stupidity".
Now, I can put a new computer into a client's office and install their new license key for their oem Office 2013, and it shows up in the 'business's Microsoft User Account'. Then when I give the machine to the user, I get to 're-activate' the software
(hoping that it doesn't tell me to piss-off - which happens about 40% of the time. This is a process that can only be described as a "feat of engineering created by a group of monkeys whose former jobs included 'janitor at MAD magazine headquarters'
or 'beer-pong referee').
It starts with two hours of pressing phone buttons and ultimately talking to someone who tells me "yeah, nothin' I can do about that I'm just here for product activation" (which, incidentally, is done by machine until you pass through MS's ridiculous
labyrinth of repetitious keystroking until the machine is convinced you are just too stupid to punch in the right numbers and allows you to talk to a person... who then asks you for the exact same set of numbers and repeats back the exact same responding set
of numbers and acts dumbfounded when it still doesn't work - since it didn't work the first six times you punched or said it into the phone) followed by "I need to send you to the support group... but because it's 6:30 pm (in a process you started at
3:00pm) they are gone for the day and you'll have to call back on Monday morning"
At some point in the process, you get to log into the "Microsoft user account" and 'roll the roulette wheel of stupidity' by trying to activate the right software from a list of 40 different lines that all say "Microsoft Office 2013 Home and
Business oem", but none give any indicator or differentiating factor like for instance: license key, date installed, license key last 4 digits, mother's maiden name, phase of moon when software was first activated, color or type of blood of the user's
paperboy's dog's previous owner... NOTHING... RANDOM FREAKING STAB IN THE DARK - pick one, any one, hope its the license you are trying to install onto this machine, 'cause if not, you very well may kill the product on some other machine.
So through the process, the lucky support staff person gets' to waste roughly an hour and a half on average for every Microsoft Office 2013 installation. I have actually had to start telling my clients that they are going to likely have to pay an extra
$100 or so per machine in order to get their new Microsoft Office software which comes on their new computer activated - that number tends to work out roughly accurately - except that it is a terrible way of trying to 'please a client'.
Oh,... and did I mention... "THE SOFTWARE CONSISTANTLY FAILS"!?!
A client tries to open a document that they have been using for 8 years and Excel doesn't say "Hey, I don't know how to deal with some element of the file that you put in here using Excel 2003, or Office 2010 (both products, by the way, which worked
great) - no... instead,... it crashes. Doesn't really do any damage to the file it choked on, but the work you'd been doing on three other files which you also had open,... yeah,... that work is gone.
Yeah,.... over time, I have developed a pretty consistent spiel for client's needing new computers that goes over how absolutely terrible Office 2013 is, and explains that our options are further limited by Microsoft's yanking of all Office 2010 or previous
products from market availability, and explaining the merits of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, as well as their drawbacks. I also have a strangely static response explaining how "larger companies are not burdened by these issues because they are
able to use MOPL which allows them to downgrade their productivity software to Office 2010 so they can continue to function happily, but this is really not a cost effective solution for smaller companies who primarily buy oem Office products with their replacement
computers".
Unfortunately, many clients still decide they want to go with Office 2013 because they apparently believe "it really can't be that bad". The value in my 'presale descriptions' are only really realized when they come back to me a week, two
weeks, or up to a month after the new machine is in place and say "wow,... you were right". The place I am left open for any further problems is when I don't impress upon them beforehand just HOW BAD OFFICE 2013 REALLY IS. In that case,
they still come back to me as though I have done something wrong foe selling them this piece of $#!% software and I have to remind them of our previous discussions.
Strangely, far too few heed the warnings and buy the software anyway - but the discussion has saved many clients the costs of Microsoft Project, because the discussion of LibreOffice and OpenOffice nearly always leads to at least a small philosophical conversation
about 'Open Source Software' in general, and my absolute favorite descriptive analogy in that discussion is to compare Microsoft Project at $600 v. ProjectLibre at $0 - and then further describe the costs of licensing and implementing the associated back-end
server solutions, etc.
This is a saving grace for me, because even though the client has been saddled with Office 2013, they have also saved substantially on Project and it is a rare (but granted, not absolutely absent) occasion that ProjectLibre is lacking some feature or function
that they actually need or want to use - and on those occasions, finding out has cost them absolutely nothing in software purchases.
Its not surprising, I suppose, that clients have grown to accept Office as a required 'cost', but still choke heavily on the price-tag of Project every time they have to buy it. The interesting thing to watch over the coming couple of years will be
'how many businesses stop accepting MS Office as a 'required cost' due to the failing of the software itself and the fact that most are being burned, at least once, by purchasing the software "against technical advice" and are learning, merely by
virtue of HOW BAD Office is, that there are other options out there that both cost less and work better... I mean,... LOTS BETTER.
How many businesses that are used to accepting the cost of Microsoft Office as a cost of doing business will be moved over to open source options and satisfied by them by the time Microsoft releases its next version - which will, presumably work - such that
they will no longer justify the cost of Microsoft's offering even if it is 'superior' to the open source offerings because the open source offerings are plenty sufficient and include a price tag of $0 and an installation/implementation time that is much, much
shorter than Microsoft's offering.
If Microsoft doesn't make some dramatic reparations, and do it soon, I expect their market share will be reduced in this area by a very significant margin.
I am suggesting either a 'Complete Recall' of Office 2013 including an 'uninstall 2013/install 2010' process driven by the automatic update engine, or at the very least, a free and easy downgrade rights offering for anybody who has already purchased 2013
and anyone who purchases it between now and the time the next "functional product" is released.

I understand the inconvenience you are experiencing when working with Office 2013.
If you have any feedback about Office 2013 product, click the and submit to Microsoft.
Microsoft will decide how to fix the problem for all customers.
For the activation mechanism, it intends to protect customers of their rights and interests.
For a retail version of Office, if it was purchased with a disk, Microsoft account is not necessary during the installation.
For volume license of Office, refer to the following link to deploy Office suites can be much efficient:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178982.aspx
For the problem Office 2013 keep crashing, check the following link to check:
