Remote performance and "eye candy"

Hello.
I am still on Tiger, and have not jumped to Leopard because I spend a lot of time remoting into my machine from work. My husband, who has Leopard, is always complaining about how his system is virtually unusable because the performance is so bad while waiting for all the Leopard "eye candy" to draw. He's tried my system from his work, and it's much much faster.
Any way to disable the "eye candy" like drop shadows and reflections and such so that remoting goes faster?
Thanks.

What VNC server?
What VNC Client?
I have found that the Leopard to Leopard provided Server/Client combo to be very efficient over an internet connection.
However, I've found that using A Leopard Server with a 3rd party Client, or a 3rd party server and a Leopard Client (aka Screen Sharing.app) has not been very fast.
The JollysFastVNC client is actually fairly good for a 3rd party client.
Using all 3rd party VNC components, I have found that using the Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) and Chicken of the VNC WITH CotVNC set to use only 8 bit color (or even 16 bit color) to be fairly good over a slow DSL connection between my Mom's system and myself. Of course I'm not interested in fantastic color from my Mom's system. I'm just trying to do admin tasks without driving 300 miles one way.
I also use Vine Server and Chicken of the VNC between home and my work system using lower color density. It is servicable, although I prefer to just pull the needed files to my MacBook and work locally, then push the results back.

Disabling interface animations and eye-candy

Is there any way to disable the interface animations and eye-candy in Aperture. I particularly want to disable the animations that play on stacks. Opening, closing, and sorting of stacks. They are sooooo slow with stacks of 30+ images. Especially when using keyboard commands to quickly perform multiple commands on a stack — it will start to play 2 or 3 animations on top of each other and it grinds the app to a halt.

Amen, brother!
It would be fine to have all the spinning, swooshing, eye candy if the basic program ran well. But it's so sluggish, and there are so many performance issues on such a wide variety of hardware (just peruse the topic titles here if you have any doubt) that it's completely exasperating to have to wait for all the eye candy to execute before the program can actually do what you're asking of it.
I've learned not to use stacks or smart albums (even touching these brings my Dualie 2.5 ghz G5 to its knees, spod city...) but there are a number of animations you trigger just in use. Would be interesting to see if turning them off speeds up the programs core functions...

Minimalist services and eye candy

I want to eliminate all possible unneeded processes, services and eye candy to devote maximum CPU and RAM to just one task. How do I do that?
Can I set up one user account that way or do I have to set up the entire computer that way.

You can disable Finder animations by running the following command in Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal):
defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool true
and then run:
'killall Finder'
I'm not sure that you're going to appreciate a noticable real-world benefit however. You might want to search VersionTracker 'renice' and download a utility to devote more CPU cycles to a specific program.

Cool and eye-candy GUIs

AIR is a great platform for any web-oriented (and not only)
task and it's clearly in some way derived by Flash.
Flash made us get used to nice looking GUIs where we didn't
expect, and it could be great if we could bring this know-how on
AIR. There are apps, like Klok (
http://klok.mcgraphix.com/klok/index.htm)
having a great interface, with liquid and tweening components. So I
was asking myself how did the developer of this app achieved that.
Maybe is he using some commercial components? And what about the
"rewritten" systemChrome? Are they PNGs crafted and embedded or are
there strategies to make our apps so nice-looking?
Thank you.

Hi Marco,
There are a lot of cool looking flex components and themes
out there.

I need a clarification : Can I use EJBs instead of helper classes for better performance and less network traffic?

My application was designed based on MVC Architecture. But I made some changes to HMV base on my requirements. Servlet invoke helper classes, helper class uses EJBs to communicate with the database. Jsps also uses EJBs to backtrack the results.
I have two EJBs(Stateless), one Servlet, nearly 70 helperclasses, and nearly 800 jsps. Servlet acts as Controler and all database transactions done through EJBs only. Helper classes are having business logic. Based on the request relevant helper classed is invoked by the Servlet, and all database transactions are done through EJBs. Session scope is 'Page' only.
Now I am planning to use EJBs(for business logic) instead on Helper Classes. But before going to do that I need some clarification regarding Network traffic and for better usage of Container resources.
Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable
1) to get better performance and.
2) for less network traffic
3) for better container resource utilization
I thought if I use EJBs, then the network traffic will increase. Because every time it make a remote call to EJBs.
Please give detailed explanation.
thank you,
sudheer

Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable :
1) to get better performance
EJB's have quite a lot of overhead associated with them to support transactions and remoteability. A non-EJB helper class will almost always outperform an EJB. Often considerably. If you plan on making your 70 helper classes EJB's you should expect to see a dramatic decrease in maximum throughput.
2) for less network traffic
There should be no difference. Both architectures will probably make the exact same JDBC calls from the RDBMS's perspective. And since the EJB's and JSP's are co-located there won't be any other additional overhead there either. (You are co-locating your JSP's and EJB's, aren't you?)
3) for better container resource utilization
Again, the EJB version will consume a lot more container resources.

Face and Eye Tracking with LabView and Vision

Hey all,
For my senior project I am trying to perform face tracking and eye tracking by using LabView and the Vision Development Module. Unfortunately I am new to LV and I'm drowning in a sea of links and tutorials so I was wondering if anyone here that has had experience performing similar tasks would be willing to help and point me in the right direction or provide examples. I bought two Logitech c525 webcams and hooked them up to my pc running LabView and Vision 2011. I was able to see images captured but that's as far as I've gotten with the tools. Any tips?
Thanks,
Alex.

have a look at http://sine.ni.com/cs/app/doc/p/id/cs-14116 and http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/how-to-track-face-and-allocate-lips-in-face-using-labview/td-...
This thread would also be more suited to the Machine Vision section.

Need remote lock and password reset

This question is in regards to this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/499f83d0-36f8-4f29-a4ce-e32f76632c90/intunesccm-mobile-application-management?forum=microsoftintuneprod
-We currently have ConfigMgr 2012 R2 and want to start using Intune to support company owned iOS devices.
-We must have the ability to perform remote lock and password reset on our iOS devices.
-According to this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600286.aspx this is not possible with ConfigMgr integration. So I assume this means I
should NOT integrate Intune with our ConfigMgr right now, correct? And according to the response referenced above, Microsoft plans on erasing this disparity in the future, so I guess I should just wait until then and use Intune standalone until
then? correct? But at some point it should be safe to do so, correct?
While I am not in this position, it appears that when you are setting up Intune with ConfigMgr you get to a point of no return where you "Set the Mobile Device Management Authority" and the prompt says this is permanent. For those that
have integrated ConfigMgr, does that mean they are stuck and have no option to change to using Intune only to get these features?
I setup ADFS/WAProxy for SSO for Intune. I can still use that without ConfigMgr integration right?
On a different note, is the on-premises connector for Exchange a requirement for Intune? I have seen several tutorial for installing Intune that do not mention this step.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/eb9618d2-dc90-48be-b921-8044b7e693ac#bkmk_EX_OP

Hi,
I guess the first question is really up to your company requirements and how long you can wait. as there are now communicated time of release of that feature it is hard to say if it is worth it.
Exchange connector in SCCM 2012, no, Exchnage on premise connector for Conditional Access in Intune, if you want to use that feature yes you need it but you can use Intune without it.
Yes, you can use ADFS/WAP for Intune standalone as well.

Is there a Eye Candy 4000 plug in for Fireworks CS5?

I am in great need of plug ins like the Eye Candy 4000 that was with the Macromedia Fireworks 8 program. If anyone know of where I may locate and download such a set of plug ins please be the grace of the Gods let me know.
I am hoping that Adobe Fireworks is as good as the Macromedia Fireworks 8 but I just do not have the plug ins I so badly need.
Thank you for any help the community can send me.

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP issues.

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP
issues.
Never mind...I found it.
Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?
PS: email scanning only never effected DW8.02
My System Info: properly configured (as in: everything works
or I fix it) Toshiba - XP pro SP2 – Pentium 4 - 2.3GHz
– 1.5 GB ram – Intel extreme graphics card 64 MB ram
– Apache 2.2 server – PHP 5 – MySQL 5 -
phpMyAdmin – Dreamweaver 8.02 – Interakt Kollection
3.7.1 – Dreamwweaver 9 - DeVtoolbox – Flash –
GoLive - Photoshop - ImageReady – Illustrator – Acrobat
– CuteFTP – Putty SSH - blabla...)

Thanks for the response. I managed to Google the 'nobody' account and found the explanation.
As you say, I assumed the 'syslogd' process had to do with system logs. I did check the console and couldn't find anything of particular interest in the logs.
I'll continue to monitor but if anyone has any further suggestions please post.
One thing that might also have an impact... my available drive space is now down to less than 5gb (runs anywhere between 1gb and 5gb free depending on what I'm running). I know this causes problems for Parallels as it keeps moaning at me, but would it cause any problems with OSX?
Thanks again,
Tom

Enough Already.... Turning off Eye Candy Animations

Hi....
I love this app...
Now that is out a the way...
It kills me to have to watch all those wild animations.... Fades etc... Every time I move the mouse from one window to another...
I would like to turn them off...
WHY on earth do we need to see a clip being disabled.... FADE OUT... Just set the opacity to ZERO instead of wasting processing power.
Moving the mouse from i.e. even lib. to timeline makes the timeline turn "fade in" like some 5$ flash website programmed by an amateur...
Does anyone REALLY wanna watch the inpected and color boards.. Slide on... Or would you prefer to just have them appear instantly ?
If anyone knows how to turn off all those eye candy animations I would love to know about it...

No... I can turn off skimming all I want, hitting i.e V to disable a clip makes it fade out to a state of gray instead of just being gray...
In the colorboard click on correction one's right-arrow to open the color correction tools.. It will slide on...
all those effects...
They look nice... FIRST TIME you use FCPX -- then they become a horros

Hi, i'm the owner and creator of 2cooldesign.co.za & tshirtprinting.co.za & have come across a little issue, i had CS4 and upgraded to CS6 and the eye candy i have doesn't install onto CS6 and want to create a cool chrome effect with the eye candy plug-in.. any suggestions for free plug-in or effect that can offer same results, this is for a cool t-shirt design

Could you not word things so annoyingly?
Your post started out well enough then bleeded into what I would expect from a mandrake lover defending his love of KDE.
Short of that I found the "article" little more than the same old ramblings of an insane GNOME user going on about the linux desktop "situation".
I can't help but have a laugh every time I read these little rants and continue to hope they just "go away".
I bet in about 5 years we'll be reading about how HURD is the next big thing but just not "newb" friendly enough and/or doesn't look as good as it could.

Lion - Turn Off Eye Candy, Visuals, Extra Effects

Hi,
Apple, please listen.
I just want to work on my iMac with Lion.
All these animated visuals, eye candy, and extra effects are quite annoying.
How does one control these or turn them off?
DJ

Apple isn't listening to you here. These are user-to-user forums.
If you want to file feedback file feedback here.
If you tell us the specific features you want to turn off we probably can help. Or, just search the forums. This has all been asked before.

Visual effects "eye candy" is way too slow! love t...

why? oh why Nokia? please offer a way to turn OFF THE VISUAL GARBAGE! I am a nokia fan because of the speed and efficiency of your software NOT EYE CANDY! I have dumped a cell carrier costing me $1000's for 5 phone lines to be with you on tmobile! and you dont even have 3g support for them! I WOULD BUY ALL E63'S EXCEPT THE E72 HAS OVI MAPS AND more memory, faster processor and way better looks! except of course for the 'eye candy'! GET RID OF IT! MAKE YOUR DEVICES EFFICIENT! It is going to win in the real world, every time if you combine it with FEATURES like you are doing better than most!

thanks. I have spent weeks working thru all these settings to make this work. Now all I need to do is to figure out how to have the ui stop popping up messages such as prompting to connect to the inet? and why cant I simply choose when I want to connect to which inet connection??

I like eye candy don't you like eye candy too?

Now here's an interesting read and a glimpse of the probable future of X. Yeah I know it's Gnome propaganda and all and you hate eye candy. Well, don't read it! (In fact it has more to do with X than Gnome )
