[request] what BIOS should I be using? GTX 980

I have a GTX 980 gaming 4G, serial #:
602-V317-11SB1410046189
MSI Live update previously had me install NV317MH.143. Now it is telling me the latest version is NV317MH.113, which looks like a downgrade in version #. Why is it swapping between the 14x and 11x lines? What version should I be using? I have Live Update 6.0.012 and win8.1.

NV317MH.143 is the latest one for your card
do you use latest live update version?
can you show a screeshot from this issue?
I can confirm that what he's saying is true, I also have a 980 with 143 bios and MSI Live Update is telling me that there is a new bios 113 for my 980 Gaming.
So what do we do now? update it to 113 or leave it with 143?
Bcbarnes, lower number doesn't mean its a downgrade, they are just for different batches of 980 Gaming GPU's.
113 should really be for 980 gaming gpu's with serial number of lets say 03s for example, so it is strange that MSI Live Update is telling us to install 113 since our 980 serial code is 11s.

I have always used microsoft word, we just bought a mac, what program should I now use?

I have always used microsoft word, we just bought a mac, what program should I now use?

You can use Microsoft Office for Mac, one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice or Apple's iWork suite of apps. The iWork apps - Keynote (presentation), Pages (word processing & page layout) & Numbers (spreadsheet) are available individually from the Mac App Store. There are also versions for iOS available separately. And, coming this fall, iWork for iCloud.

What program should I be using?

Hello friends,
I am wanting to make a 3-5 sec video clip taken portion of a movie that I have on my HD and email it to a friend.
I figured I could do this in iMovie, yet the file will not import. The original format was MPEG-1. I read that iMovie would only import MPEG-4 (why only MPEG-4!?), so I converted the file to MPEG-4 yet it still will not import.
Should I be using a different program for this? I don't want to spend any money right now. I have all of the iLife programs, and all the bundled stuff that comes with a current model iMac. In addition I just purchased Toast, but Toast is not for editing is it?
If there's no way to make iMovie work for me, is there a free download out there? Is there another program on my system that I could use for this?
Thanks.

What hardware should i consider using if i am a graphic and media design?

I am a Graphical and media designer who is also into coding so i like producing websites. However, when it comes to reccommending hardware or even knowing any hardware at the slightest, i get really muddled up when choosing the right componants. I would like to know what good stuff i can use such as
Desktop
Hardware
Processor
Memory
Power Supply
CPU ?!?!?
these are just examples but it would be good if you can help me out!
Thanks.

If you're considering purchasing a Mac, why not go to an Apple Store and talk to one of the people there. Tell them exactly how you'll use your Mac. You'll get good advice and no sales pressure. If you're not near an Apple Store, you can call the Apple toll-free number where you live and get the same good advice. You can find out about hardware and software that you need to do the job.

Having issues with PC gaming and my Linksys AC1900 router! (What settings should I be using?)

Well I recently purchased a linksys AC1900 for a better/faster connection with my internet. Sadly, I have been having issues with online gaming. I am attempting to play a blizzard game (Diablo 3) but its not letting my connect. I did a direct wired connection and it worked just perfect. However, I dont want to play in my garage...lol. Does anyone have any ideas what settings I should be using? It lets me connect to battlenet but when my character loads into the world I get disconnected. I tried opening ports, shutting off uPnP, and various other things. Is the the router or is it me? Someone please help!

I got confused with your response. If you are still having the same challenge, make sure you have enough speed to play any online game. You may also try to reboot your PC and the router. If the result is the same, check if the firmware is up to date. You may try to manually update it on the Linksys Smart WiFi page. Here's how. Once accomplished, reset, reboot, and reconfigure the router. I hope this helps!

Small metatag / file renaming script: what "stuff" should I be using?

Hi!
I need a small script that moves all videos, images and other files in a folder to
./year-month/day-hour-minute-seconds_originalfilename.ext
The date/time is supposed to come from the meta tags if the file has its own timestamp and from the file stats (creation date) if no meta data is available.
Now, this is how I would usually do something like this:
1) Install exiv2 and mediainfo and various other cli-tools that can extract timestamps from file meta data.
2) Mess around with those programs until after piping the output trough about 200 grep's and sed's I get a line of bash for everything I need.
3) Stick those lines together somehow into one huge mess consisting basically of just one single giant line of bash that inexplicably does the job
4) Instantly forget how it works and somehow accidental mess up my whole system the next time I try to modify & execute the script.
I already almost finished a bash script that works like that. And broke it. And don't understand how it works any more, so I was about to start over... but at the moment I guess I might have just enough spare time to do it right instead... so...
- What's would be the "right" way to do something like this?
- Should I just learn how to use functions instead of pipes or forget about bash and try python?
- Still use regex to fiddle it together or use something that can handle date/time as actual date+time instead of putting it into a string?
- Use various external tools (like exiv2 and mediainfo from the repos) or take something that has... uhm... API's or something... to handle... tag stuff itsself?
- What language / tools / methods would a programmer that knows all there is to know choose for a job like this?
I've written a lot of small scripts and a few "programs" in the past but never really got around to learn programming... for some reason I just got used to do everything I needed with only a few functions, loops and a lot of trying around + copy&paste somehow even if the code gets insanely awkward & impractical... so... I have no idea where to start looking for a "good" solution to this problem.
Any hints?
Thx!

Argh, I tried - seems to work but I made a mess again and just looking at it confuses me. It's not as bad as usual, but still...:

Also, for some reason it doesn't work with bash. Only zsh. No idea why.
I just have accumulated too many bad habits with bash I guess... Any hints on how I should proceed now?
Throw the whole script away and try to learn python? xD

What dpi should I be using for prints?

I usually print photos directly from within Aperture by using the Apple/Kodak 'order prints' system built in to Aperture. However, I have had a few problems with this and decided recently to try using a local vendor instead. I notice the vendor recommends .jpg files with a minimum dpi of 300. When I looked at the export settings in Aperture (under "jpg-original size"), the dpi is set at 72. My questions are:
1) Will changing it to 300 dpi make a big difference?
2) When I've been ordering from Apple/Kodak using Aperture's print service, what settings are being used there? 72, 300 or other?
3) If I give digital files to someone on a CD, should I export at 300 dpi if they intend to make prints? I have, evidently, been exporting at 72 dpi all this time...
I should probably point out that I shoot in RAW, then convert to .jpg when I've done my adjustments and am ready to export to a CD.
Many thanks.

Jamie,
As iDave stated, the DPI number that your picture indicates is not necessarily relevant to your printing process. What is important is how many pixels you have to work with.
That 300 DPI is a somewhat magical number, dealing with physics and human anatomy. At normal reading distance (something like 16 inches?), the average human eye can tell differences if a picture is printed at less than 300 DPI. That is, your eye is can resolve up to 300 DPI at reading distance.
To find the DPI, there is no setting. Take the number of horizontal pixels in your picture (let's say 3000), and divide it by the horizontal size of your photo (Let's say 6 inches if you are printing 4x6). That photo can have 500 DPI, when printed, if the photo printer supports resolutions that high. 500 DPI is greater than 300 DPI, so your eyes will be happy. They will be just as happy as if you had printed with 1800 pixels wide, which is 300 DPI. If you print out a photo that is 1200 pixels wide to a 4x6 print, you will have 200 DPI, and your eye will tell that things aren't really quite crisp.
So, taking the math the other way, if you are printing 4x6 prints, you would want the long dimension to be at least 6x300=1800 pixels. In other words, don't crop a photo to less than 1800 pixels wide and expect it to print sharply. Also, don't use an Aperture export option that reduces the number of pixels ("TIFF - 50% of original size") if your original was less than 3600 pixels wide.
All this math of course has nothing to do with the quality of your original. If your original wasn't in focus, printing it as a 4x6 with 300 DPI will look out of focus. If you threw away a lot of pixels because it's a low quality JPEG, you won't get those pixels back and the photo may look blocky at any size.
This also says nothing about how good your eye really is, too, and how far away you will be when viewing your prints.
Hope this makes sense,
nathan

What settings should I be using for importing?

I currently have 3 sources of music - my own CDs, iTunes, and eMusic.
I've left the settings in iTunes 7 at the default "AAC" but I just noticed there is an mp3 option in there. Which is better? What about Apple Lossless and the other options?
Interestingly, even though AAC seems to be set at 128, I've noticed that only my iTunes purchases and my personal CDs stick to this rate; the mp3s that I bring in from eMusic seem to import automatically at a VBR anywhere from 160 to 200.
Any help and advice is appreciated. I've already imported my entire personal CD collection, but I'd like to do the highest quality option for the future.

What version should be used on a Desktop Mac Intel Core running OS 10.8.5 and from where can I securely download it?

The desktop Mac I just bought used from a dealer came with Safari but I prefer to use Firefox. What version should I be using? The Mac is running OS 10.8.5. Please provide a trusted link I may use to download and properly install the correct version. Thanks.

Hello,
The latest version of Firefox is 32.0.3. You can download a fresh copy of Firefox at:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
or if you need a different localization:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Please see [[How to download and install Firefox on Mac]] for more details and if you experience an issue, [[Firefox can't be opened after you install it on a Mac - How to fix]] may be helpful as well.

What do you recommend to use as an offline data store, since SQL CE support is not in VS 2013?

A few years back I was architecting an occasionally connected .Net desktop application.
VS 2010 was offering full support for Microsoft Sync Framework and SQL CE with Entity Framework.
This seemed like the perfect marriage, so I ran with it, and the resulting software solution is still successfully running in production, years later.
Jump forward to today, and I am architecting a new occasionally connected .Net desktop application.
I was really looking forward to taking advantage of the advances made by Microsoft in using the tools built into VS 2013.
However, what I discovered has dumbfounded me. VS 2013 has no designer support for Sync Framework, and worse, built in support for SQL CE has been completely removed, including the ability to generate Entity Framework models from a
CE database using the designer.
My question to the community is, what tools should I be using to solve the problem of offline storage in my brand new .Net application?
I am aware of ErikEJ’s SQL Server Compact Toolbox, which brings back some support for these features in VS 2013, but it is not as fully featured as the VS 2010 native support was, plus it does not have the institutional “Microsoft” stamp on it.
I am building a multimillion dollar corporate solution that I will have to support for many years.
I would like to have some comfort that the technologies I select, today, will still be supported 5 years from now, unlike the way Microsoft has discontinued supporting Sync Framework and CE in the most recent VS.
I can accept open source technologies, because there is a community behind them, or off the shelf corporate solutions, since they will be driven by financial gain, but I have trouble committing to a solution that is solely supported by an individual,
even if that person is a very talented Microsoft MVP.
Some of the features of SQL CE that I would like to keep are
Built in encryption of the file on disk
Easy querying with an ORM, like Entity Framework
Tools to easily sync up the offline data store with values from SQL Server (even better if this can be done remotely, such as over WCF)
Does not require installation of additional software on the client machine, as SQL Express would
Please, provide your feedback to let me know how you have achieved this, without resorting to simply using an older version of VS or Management Studio.
Thank you.

Hello,
Based on your description, you can try to use SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB.
LocalDB is created specifically for developers. It is very easy to install and requires no management, but it offers the same T-SQL language, programming surface and client-side providers as the regular SQL Server Express.
SQL Server LocalDB can work with Entity Framework and ADO.NET Syc Framework. However, there is no built-in encryption feature in LocalDB which
can let you encrypt database. You should decrypt/encrypt data on your own, for example, using
Cryptographic Functions
Reference:SQL Express v LocalDB v SQL Compact Edition

X99S GAMING 9 AC Not booting - Debug 94 code - Issue with GTX 980 SLI in WoW

Hello, I bought the X99S GAMING 9 AC motherboard but have ran into some issues.
The computer won't boot when I put my second MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4 GB card in the last PCEI 3.0 port (PCIE port 5) and I get the debug LED message 94 on the motherboard. I have a SLI setup.
The first card I have in the second PCIE 3.0 port due to the Noctua U14S CPU fan takes up space for the first slot. So I have been running my grafic cards in PCIE slot 2 and 4 with some issues.
First the card in slot 2 gets really warm over 86 celsius. And second: SLI runs really poorly in World of Warcraft. I get a lot higher performance with just one card activated. I am not sure if it's cause I am not running my cards in the recommended PCIE 3.0 ports or because WoW has some issues with SLI, but I heard other people have no issues at all with WoW in SLI.
I got the same issue with 3Dmark firestrike, the cards perform really poor in SLI. I get higher score with SLI turned off..
Though SLI seems to run pretty well in 3dmark 11 and Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
But the main issue right now, is that the computer won't boot with the grafic cards in PCIE port 2 and 5. The solution to run them next to each other is not good, cause it gets really hot and I get bad performance in WoW and Firestrike.
Picture of my setup before I switched places with the grafic cards as you can see, it is really tight:
Any upcoming bios updates (got v1.3) that will solve this issue on the horization? Hopefully this get sorted out really soon..
My whole computer setup:
Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

You must use the recommended PCIE slots as the manual says for your CPU type, PCIE #1 and PCIE #4 if I remember, just open the manual :P for optimal 2Way SLI, also your 5820k will limit to 28 pcie lanes only if you plan to add more vgas...the other problem is your giant CPU air cooler blocking PCIE#1, do a favor to yourself, buy a watercooler for your 5820k and your problems are gone, add some overclock in your system, low noise and better temps.
Here I use 3x980 in SLI with X99S Gaming 9 AC, going soon to WC the VGAs with EK blocks.....3way is far more temperature critical than 2way spaced one.
Cheers
