Request to have off-topic posts moved

There are a number of posts accumulated in the Server and Storage Systems group of forums that are just not on-topic for them.
Generally they've been posted by people that care to not read anything nor drill down to an appropriate forum and just dump a question.
I've done the "report abuse" routine on a number of them but that seems to have been ignored.
Thus this new post.
These are from the last 60 days:

Will people stumble across off topic posts on a blog?

In Summary my question is this: Have I ANY chance of people stumbling across off topic posts?
Let's say I have my website with a specific subject as far as domain and title and content are concerned.
I.E: John's Tech Blog at techblogger.com
The content is pretty much all about tech stuff.
But then I see a film I like and want to review it...and put a review on there.
OR
I want to discuss something I find interesting on the Psychology Today website (something less mainstream).
Have I ANY chance of people stumbling across either of these or similar?
I know a bit about SEO, and know...basically the more I mention something (keyword-wise) the better. Aswell as density, proximity etc of course.
Now, because 'movie' and 'review' and the title of the movie are only mentioned in close proximity on that one page...does this mean nobody will find it?
Let's also assume I re-post these posts on 5 other article sites linking back.
So basically again: Have I ANY chance of people stumbling across off topic posts?

Most likely not to many, of course you will get a little google juice from the link.

Off topic: posting XML/HTML in these forums

How do you post XML to these forums? Encoding the < as > just gets interpreted as a literal, but using straight XML doesn't work because if there's overlap with HTML, the XML gets formatted as HTML. Here's an example -- if you have an XML tag called "s" (< s n a m e = " f o o " > b a r < / s > ), look what happens (because of the strikethrough HTML tag): <s name="foo">bar</s>.
Sorry to post off-topic!

Hello red_menace,
Indeed a pre-processing code like yours is always an option for us, but from my point of view, the correct solution is for the discussions' admins to disable this meddlesome formatting feature of the new fora software.
This new feature affects not only new posts but also the existing messages in the fora, that means it has rendered quite a few useful messages totally useless. This is actually serious data loss caused by the thoughtless software. And for what?
After all, these discussions' boards are not chat rooms where people might want some simple input methods for fancy text formattings, but technical support fora where people frequently post programming codes, computer outputs and so forth that have many reserved symbols and notation.
I really wish they may fix this promptly.
Best regards,
Hiroto

Slightly off topic: JDev + 10g + recommended laptop

Hi gang
This is a slightly off-topic post in the forum. Apologies to the forum moderators up front.
I'm in the process of purchasing a new laptop for development. Among other things I need to run Oracle 10g, + JDev + Solitaire.
My assumption for such a laptop is I'll need a fast hd (7200rpm+) for builds, and lots of memory to run Oracle 10g and memory hogging Java JDev. Also extra screen real-estate would be ideal with the multi-pane JDev.
However without the ability to walk into a laptop supplier, load up the software and do some tests, I'm not sure what would be sufficient. I don't want to go overboard on features in order to save $s, but I don't want something that wont run fast enough without bugging the Hell out of me either.
Does anybody have any recommendations on what laptop they are currently running or what they would buy to run Oracle 10g + JDev? Are my assumptions correct or does anybody run this config with less, happily?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
CM.

I have been doing all of my jdev + oracle development exclusively on my PowerBook G4 for over a year now. JDev 9.0.5.2 runs great, and so does the new 10.1.3 preview. I have upgraded the memory on it to 1.5 GB, but even with the stock 512 it ran well. Plus, there are all of the productivity benefits from running Mac OS X. I was skeptical about it at first, as you might be, but once I switched over, I haven't even looked back. The 17 inch screen is beautiful, it works just fine on the Windows network at work, has all of the Unix tools underneath, and for the very few times a windows machine is needed, Virtual PC helps out. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

A bit off topic, but what time should I arrive at the Keynote?

I'm posting this in the FCP forum because this is the only one I read. I'm attending Macworld for the first time and I have the cheap tickets for the Keynote (user's conference). I have no idea how early I need to show up to wait in line to guarantee I get into the Keynote.
Thanks and sorry for the off topic post.

Just showing a pick of what I look like...hee.
I will have an exhibitors pass, so I wonder if I can get in any later and still get good seats? HA! I will bring my lappy, to keep me occupied (I hope they have wireless access).
For iChat reports I'd need all your iChat accounts. That would be one BIG group chat.

Web Portfolio Software Advice (off topic)

hi all.
i have been really happy with my ability to organize a very large amount of images in Aperture and to publish them easily to Flickr (among other things).
this has now freed me up to focus on creating a new website for an old website that needs updating. right now i have just created a /link/ for the pictures on the webpages which takes the viewer to the flickr albums.
i am looking at "themes" such as the WordPress Photography theme (http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/photography/) and i am also looking at sites that are using the "autoviewer" or "autoviewer pro" software.
http://www.iloveconcrete.net/drive1/drive1.html
http://www.simpleviewer.net/autoviewer/
anyway, i am familiar with using wordpress UI but i am desperately trying to find a method where i don't have to use the wordpress image uploader. i guess the holy grail would be to just "publish" album "code" out of Aperture that i would then embed into a WP theme website which i am sure i could create in a week or something.
anyway, does anyone know of anywhere i can ask such questions or get some leads on keeping this workflow simple but create a nice website at the same time?
TIA and apologies for the off-topic post.

I liked "Waves" and thought most of the sounds were good- the piano was very realistic to my casual listen. I did however find the backing strings of the first couple of minutes to be fairly "synth" sounding, maybe that's what you wanted, but to me it could have sounded more like an actual string ensemble. Later on it seemed to be working more to my liking with the strings playing individually.
It's not the most expensive thing out there, but I have been using IK Multimedia's Philharmonik, which is not good for a lot of things, but it does really capture a real "woody" and "dry" sound on the cellos, violas, etc.
I also tend to agree that MySpace could be a good addition for you. And I notice that your vox on the podcast was only coming at me from the left.
Keep it up! It's a lot of fun to do- I'll send you a thing I wrote with Philharmonik and Sibelius 5, it's sort of just me learning those and not really finished, still, you'll get an idea of what Philharmonik sounds like.

MQ, eSQL and CLOBs (Off Topic)

Hi,
Apologies for this way off topic post, but I figured someone here may know the answer to this one and save me some time digging / testing.
We're designing a middleware hub using WBIMB (MQ) v5 and have the option of
a. Sending a message to a JMS Listener that will write an entry in a database via JDBC
b. Having the broker flow insert the record using a compute node / java node.
If we choose option b my preference would be to use eSQL, but the database table has a CLOB column and I'm not sure whether this is supported.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Hello Huffer Many thanks for your prompt reply. I have been doing a bit more research and came across an old spec for a "lenovo" hard-disk (HDD) with 320GB capacity used in numerous ThinkPads. Unfortunately it does not include the X300 model that i have. The full details can be found HERE. The height of the HDD is 7 (SEVEN) mm. I may be paranoid but can you please just confirm that the lenovo X300 ThinkPads (see full details above) with the 320GB HDD really have a height of 9.5mm and so will be able to take the HDD 2.5" with 2TB that I plan to buy. If the height really is only 7m then I have a problem. Then I think that i will have to go up my idea of increasing the storage space. If you cannot answer the question with 100% certitude then I will have to reopen the laptop and measure the space available but that is a pain since I am new to all this and afraid of damaging the HDD. Thanks. Cheers. Steve.

Off-Topic OAS Discussion Groups/lists??

The "more" option at the bottom appears on pages displayed via the "Overview" tab at the top of the column of topics. If you switch that to the Discussions tab choice, you'll have the "Next" plus page number choices.
For any forum you can set the "Discussions" tab as your view preference by clicking the 'set as default' link next to it.

Forums: Off-Topic tags

Hi,
It is very common to see off-topic posts in forums as discussions usually engender new questions, shared experiences, etc... Anyway, could we imagine an OT tag that would, for example, color text or frame it or whatever, in order to make it easy to sort what's OT and what's not ?

[OT=avatar]
[OT=avatar]what an odd avatar you have[/OT]
That's my japanese pacman under steroids[/OT]
If you want to go extra features right now, options to show/hide [OT][/OT] could be nice too (like the spoilers tag on some movies forums with show or hide as default in your profile)

(off topic) Quick advice needed RE: publishing

(sorry for the waaayyy off-topic post, but I'm sure some of you gurus would know the answer to this. I'm sort of in 'freak-out' mode right now.)
So my CD artwork is finalized, and slated to go to press this Friday. I just realized that, though I am registered with BMI, I put no mention of that on the disc or in the liner notes. DOH!
Do I need to? If so, is simply putting "Copyright 2006 [band name here], BMI" sufficient? Or do I need a 'music company' name (in other words, not the band name).
thanks for any advice !

Songs are tracked and money is distributed by song title, writer and publisher name. Don't make it hard for people to pay you. Make sure you get your publisher info on there.

Why does my iphone 4 turn off by itself randomly? I have read many posts on this and there seems to be no solution other than replacing it.

It turns off randomly and sometimes when I try to turn it back on, it doesn't turn on right away. Sometimes it would take multiple tries before it actually turns back on. I have read many posts regarding this and there seems to be no solution. The bad thing about this also is that I don't have a warranty either.

Because there is a hardware problem.
Apple has an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price, or if you qualify for upgrade pricing with your carrier you can purchase a 4S or iPhone 5 for about the same or not much more depending on storage capacity.

Sorry this is way off topic...NYC Petition, please have a look

I know this is WAY off topic for this forum, but this is the only forum I follow and contribute to. And since we will ALL be affected by this at some point or another if we visit NYC I think it is worth all of our attention.
Here is the text from the email I got from the APA...(link at bottom)
The Mayor's office in New York City is seeking to instate a new rule that would require permits and proof of insurance for any group of 2 or more persons using a camera in a public area. The regulations would require that anyone using a tripod or shooting in one location for more than 30 minutes (including set-up and break down time) must obtain permits and show proof of insurance of at least 1 million dollars per occurrence. Read more about the new rules here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/film/html/news/080107_proposed_permit_rules.shtml
We all need to act now to fight these proposed regulations which will place absurd restrictions on the freedom to photograph in New York City's public spaces.
This affects not only professional photographers but the First Amendment rights of anyone with a camera to spontaneously document what happens on the streets of this city.
Due to pressure from advocacy groups, the Mayor's Office has agreed to extend the period that it will allow public commentary until August 3rd.
Picture New York has initiated an online petition opposing the new rules, which over 12,000 indidivuals have signed so far. The petition is closing on August 3rd. Please take a moment to sign if you have not already done so.
Here is the link to sign the petition:

you have to be careful with your variables:
the declared variables inside the actionlistener(s) are not these in your main class!!
what you might do:
a) let your main-class implement ActionListener
public class MainClass extends PARENTCLASS implements ActionListener {
   public static void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
}b) create your own event handler
public class MainClass extends PARENTCLASS {
   public MainClass() {
      insert.addActionListener(new YourActionListener(this));
public class YourActionListener extends ActionListener {
   private MainClass main;
   public YourActionListener(MainClass parent) {
      main = parent;
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
      main.year = "abc";
      main.id = "id";
      // or implement setXXX methods -> main.setYear("abc"); main.setId("id"); ...

Cascade with printing format - VBA off topic request?

Hi All,
Actually this might seem an off topic question these days, but we have a user group who would like to use old and classic Cascade in Excel Add In, to distribute reports.
We have a pre-formatted excel sheet as source that prints in one page, but when the cascade executes page breaks appear and the column widths are wrong.
Any VBA code out there that can facilitate the task?
Appreciated.

I think this someday would be useful for someone else too. :-)
Sub PrintFormat
Worksheets().Select
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.45)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.45)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.1)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.1)
.HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.1)
.FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.1)
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
End Sub
