Question to Otterbox owners AND about Waterproof Headphones

I just ordered myself a waterproof Otterbox and I have two questions here, really.
1) It says that with the Otterbox, you must either use the headset or speaker-phone function. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I haven't heard anyone here mention that as a draw-back. Are they warning the buyer out of extreme caution? Or have you owners experienced this to be true?
2) Waterproof (or water resistant) headphones. Anyone know where you can get them (with the talking feature - not just plain old headphones)? I saw the ones on the Otterbox website, but I don't like that big contraption going around your head that you'd have to tote around with you - not very portable. I'm hoping to find a style more similar to those that came with the iPhone (earbuds).
(As a side note, I'm rather concerned that the Apple website has quit selling the headphones for the first generation. Mine are okay for now, but I fear they are beginning to wear out and what if I need a replacement set? I don't plan to get a 3G for quite a while -no 3G in my area anyway. I know you can buy a converter to make the 3G ones work, but come on ...)
Any help with my 2 questions would be greatly appreciated (you may ignore the rant at the bottom ). Thanks!

Iphone6 doesn't play music (have tried obvious things like volume etc and plugged in headphones, connected to a speaker via bluetooth, and tried to play from the inbuilt speaker). Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

You can't buy the part from Creative as a spare.
I'm not sure how compatible other parts might be, but that would be a question for someone who really knows a lot about this area of electronics.
The Creative repair for this is likely to be expensi've, but the problem is most likely a broken solder connection than an actual new headphone socket. So if you know someone experienced in surface mount soldering you could probably get it repaired just with this.

Question on Interface Groups and Mobility

Hi everyone.
I have a small question.
I have two 5508 controllers with 6 Access Points (3 on each controller). The network layout has one AP on one controller, one on the other, 45 degrees and about 100ft apart from each other.
In this layout the clients roam from one AP to the other, one controller to the other, but there are certain times where the client loses connectivity to the network (layer 3). I don't see any disconnect or roaming messages in the controller logs, but the laptop shows a "!" sign in its wireless connection (win 7).
It can take from a few seconds to several minutes for it to get an ip address and connectivity again.
Now, for my setup:
I have 3 interfaces with different VLANs, and an interface group that binds those 3 interfaces together. The interfaces are called the same on both controllers, and the interface group as well.
The wlan number is the same, as the SSID configuration.
The question is:
When the client roams to the other controller, does it retain the same interface/VLAN configuration? I have found documentation stating that when the user roams and the WLC has the same subnet, it goes with no issues, but it doesn't mention interface groups. Could it be that in some handovers the client falls in a different VLAN even when it is in the same interface group?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Are these two WLC in same mobility group ? If that is the case clients should not change the IP when they roam from one WLC to another. Even in interface group configuration it should work like this.
Here is sample config I did to test this out (I haven't use interface group, but as per my understanding It should not make any difference).

then i closed terminal and then when to disk utility and chose to repair disk with results all was fine. Then ran repair permissions and got similar results from terminal function next I erased disk and then chose to restore from time machine and it is now restoring! yea!

New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

Problem statement
When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
of the parent.
I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
Can an Example be provided?
3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and is there an Example available.
Scenario:
Windows Server 2012 Standard
File Server (Role)
+- Server for NFS (Role) << -- installed
General --
Folder path: F:\Shares\raid-6-array
Remote path: fs4:/raid-6-array

I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
"inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
[-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
Here are the pertinent statements -
"In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
"Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
not have inheritance set."
"So
If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

Questions on Client Failver and Fast Failover

've few questions regarding Client Failover and Fast Faiolver of Oracle Database HA. Before I ask those questions I would like to explain my environment. Below are the details.
- We have two physical locations called 'ABC' and 'PQR'
- ABC is the primary site.
- PQR is the standby site.
- In ABC, we have Oracle RAC database (11.2.0.2) with two nodes.
- In PQR, we have a single server standalone database (11.2.0.2) with ASM. This is not a RAC.
- Data Guard has been configured between ABC and PQR and it is working as expected.
- Please note that we have a licence for Active Data Guard.
- We have Oracle Identity Management products at both ABC and PQR and they are going to use RAC database as a primary database which is in ABC.
- We did not configure Data Guard broker yet.
We want to achieve below goals:
Goal 1:
Whenever RAC primary goes down completely, standby database should become primary database AUTOMATICALLY and it should allow read/write operation.
I guess this is called 'Fast Failover'. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Questions :
- To make this happen, Do I need to configure Data Guard Broker so that standy database becomes primary when RAC goes down completely with planned or unplanned outage.
- Let's say RAC goes down completely, how long does Data Guard broker take to make standby db as Primary.
- What about the client/application who already connected to RAC.
- Let's standby DB has become as primary and after sometime if RAC comes back , Does data guard automatically changes the role of RAC to primary ?
Goal 2:
As I explained above, all Oracle IDM products and applications speak to RAC database they only know about RAC database which is primary.They are not aware of standby database.
- Whenever a client session is in progress with RAC primary database, if RAC goes down completely , we would like to expect client session should get transferred standby datbase without loosing session information . However before this happens, standby database should become primary becuase client session may perform write operations.
- Whenever a client is trying to connect to RAC prmary and assume RAC is completely down, we would like to expect client connections should get transferred to standby database.
However before this happens, standby database should become primary becuase client session may perform write operations.
As per my knowledge, above scenarios are called 'client failver'. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Questions:
1. Please throw some light to achieve above features.
2. As per my understanding, before client failover happens, fast failover should have already occured and standby should get switch to primary role. I guess all this happens through TIMEOUT parameters. What are those.
Could you please help ?
Thanks

Quick question to 5310 owners: T9 languages

Hello,
this is an easy question for 5310 owners. Can you tell me if there are both Dutch (Nederlands) and Italian T9 dictionaries on the 5310?
I live in the Netherlands but I am Italian, so I want to be sure, before I buy the phone here, that the Dutch model has the Italian dictionary (this was not the case in the 1600, but it is a much cheaper phone).
Thanks in advance.

May be you can ask a retailer or a friend. Some retailers might bring a phone from a different country and sell in your country. So it's better to ask your retailer, but languages are firmware dependant most of the time and hence you might be able to get the desired languages by updating firmware too.

What is the safe music listening level for regular and in-ear headphones?

I am wondering what the safe music listening level for regular and in-ear headphones is. I heard it was 50% volume for regular headphones but what about the new 60$ in-ear ones? I am going to get them soon.

Just turn it up enough for you to enjoy the music. Even prolonged low volume sound can have long term negative effects on your hearing. It also depends on your listening environment. In a dead silent room you won't need very much volume. I have my cranked pretty high on when riding my motorcycle to work. Just don't take your hearing for granted. Constant ringing in your ears will suck.

Question regarding the mcxquery and dscl -mcxread commands:
Does anyone know why the mcxquery and the dscl . -mcxread commands don't show any info about MCX managed login items & printers? The System Profiler's "Managed Client" section does. Id like to see info regarding managed printers and managed login items using the mcx tools. I have Mac users running 10.5.2 with both login items and printers that are pushed out to them via MCX. The System Profiler app shows all of their policies, but the dscl . -mcxread and mcxquery tools dont. Why not?

How do you "call procedures/functions" without sql code? You need at least the call statement like
{call myProc(?,?,?)}that you wrap into a CallableStatement.
Other than that: when you switch off autocommit, you need to call commit/rollback at the end. Usually, if you don't commit/rollback a non-autocommitted connection, the transaction get's committed/rollbacked when you close the connection - that depends on the JDBC driver. But it's never a good idea to ommit the commit/rollback calls on a non-autocommit connection. Usually you enclose your code in a try/catch block like this:
con.setAutocommit(false);
try {
   con.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
   con.rollback();
} finally {
    con.setAutocommit(true); //or:
    con.close();
}
