Restrict pointer to certain area

Is it possible to restrict the pointer to a certain part of the screen? I've got my laptop and external monitor setup like this (extended desktop):
Virtual screen 1920x1800
| |
| |
| Monitor |
| 1920x1080 |
| |
| |
|-------------------------|
| | |
| Laptop | Dead |
| 1280x720 | space |
| | |
I don't want my pointer to be able to go in the "dead space", since I won't be able to see anything I (accidentally) put there on either of the two screens. Suggestions?

Steps:-
1. Search for 'mouse jail'.
2. Spend quite a bit of time reading about programs which lock your mouse to one specific spot.
3. Find a C-program which does what you want. (or maybe a bash one, there's 2 I'm aware of).
4. Realize that it doesn't really work that well, and pins your CPU to 100% while you're trying to move to deadspace.
5. Learn to live with it.
That's just what I did when I wanted to do something about this. I have some sample xorg-linked code from one of the projects here which uses xorg callbacks, which should be able to do this without killing your CPU, but never had time to look into it. If you know C, email me and I'll tell you what I've tried before (and never gotten to work properly).
Otherwise, just live with it, or use separate-X .

Disabling Alterations to Certain Areas

I managed to set up contribute to enable text and/or image
alterations quite easily.
However, I want to restrict the user, so that they can only
edit certain areas of text etc.
Can anyone point me into the right direction?

When creating the site using DW, you need to create a
"template" page which
will enable you to "lock regions".

RAM PREVIEW CERTAIN AREA???

A couple months ago I Was watching AE tutorials On YouTube, and came across one where the instructor demonstrated how to RAM Preview certain areas of the timeline, and at the time I did not need that information. Now I do and I cant find the video, nor do I remember how do it, please somebody help me!

Simple: you limit the Work Area.
Put your timeline cursor where you want the preview to start. Hit the b (for Begin) key. Notice how the Work Area marker jumps to that point.
Put your timeline cursor where you want the preview to stop. Hit the n (for eNd) key. The marker for the end of the Work Area jumps to that point.
Now preview.
You can move the Work Area markers around by the click-drag technique, too. Don't forget to put them back when you're done.

Hide/disable certain areas from the Overview page of ESS in portal

HI All,
We have a requirement where we need to hide/disable certain areas from the "Overview" page of ESS in portal.
In Overview page, we have certain links like Employee search,Life and work events,
Purchasing and travel and expenses.
I m not able to find these pages under overview workset also.
We have to hide 'Purchasing' and 'life and work events' areas from the overview page as the customer dosent want to use this sap standard impl.
Is the customiztion to be done from portal side or do we need to do it from the IMG??
Can someone pls tell us in detail how to do it?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Inorder to hide/diable certain areas from the Overview page of ESS you need to do it from the IMG.
The detail steps are as follows:
1) After logging in to your backend, run Transaction code SPRO.
2) Select the SAP Reference IMG button.
3) Follow the path: Cross-Application Components >> Homepage Framework >>
Areas/Sub Areas.
4) In the Assign SubAreas to Areas OR Assign Areas to Area Group Pages (depending on your requirement), to hide the particular area , set the Position value to 0 for the Area / SubArea that you wish to hide.
5) After making the changes, Refresh the Portal browser page to reflect the new changes.
Hope this helps.

Return points within certain distance to each other

I have a geometry of points (say 1000 points) and I want to return only points within certain distance(say 100 meters) to each other and exclude others. I have been using the sdo_aggr_union with tolerance value of 100, but it returns one of the points from all of which are 100 meters apart and also returns other points.
I would appreciate if anyone can please help me with this. I basically want to identify bunch of points placed close to each other. sdo_within_distance will not work as this is between two geometries. Here I have the same geometry column in the table but multiple records. Sorry, if I have confused too much.Thanks in advance.

Hi
Your initial question said you want to find all points within a certain distance to the each others. The distance was said to be 100 meter.
Therefor the query will return for every single point all the others that are within that distance.
As this is performed on one single table the SDO_JOIN is well suited.
Obviously this returns a lot of recs. Let me explain why. draw for example 5 points (on a line to make it simple) and every point is 10 meters further from the previous. If you want to know for the first point what are the others within the 100 meter distance, you will end up with all the others. So doing this for every point this means that for every point you will have returned all the other, increasing the number of records returned. this is actually what the example query will do.
If you have additional filters you must add them for both (in your case same) tables, if you want for all points with a specific faceid to list all other points within that distance and with the same faceid.
However this will not be limited to only 549 recs I expect.
Maybe you can try to give more explanation what you are trying to achieve.
Should you try to achieve to identify clusters of points you might want to take a look at spatial clustering http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14255_01/sdo_sam_ref.htm#CACJAJDC

Exclamation point beside certain songs

What does it mean when there is an exclamation point beside certain songs in my iTunes library and how can this be fixed?

It means that iTunes can't find the original song file any more. If you have the files on an external NAS drive, and it's napping when you are manipulating stuff in iTunes, the exclamation points may appear.
This utility can help fix the exclamation points if you are certain that the song files still exist in the place they were when you added them to your iTunes library:

What is watch point and break points?what are there types?

what is watch point and break points?what are there types?

Static Breakpoints
Static breakpoints are always user-independent if there is no specification of a user name. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application when program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For more information, refer to the chapter Static Breakpoints.
In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
Dynamic Breakpoints
Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
· You do not have to change the program code.
· You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer.
· You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached.
Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For more information, refer to the chapter Dynamic Breakpoints.
In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
Watch point are used to put logical break point for a certain condition..Example..If you want to know when the internal table is getting append..Then you have to give the program name and the internal table in the watch point..
Steps to create a watch point.
Start debugging '/H'.
In the debugging screen press the create watch point button in the application tool bar..
In the program give the program name..
in the field give the field name.
In the relational operator given '='
In the comp. field/value give the value ..
Hope this helps..

Parvez.

IPhone 5 incoming calls go straight to voicemail in certain areas

I know that this issue has been reported by many users in this and other forums, but I thought I would share my story too.
I have a iphone 5 that is exhibiting the following issues:
- When I am downtown Boston and certain areas in MA, incoming calls go straight to voicemail. The phone does not ring and the only way to tell if people called me is if they leave a voicemail
- When I make calls, my phone numbers shows as blocked at the receiving end. So if people block anonymous calls then I won't be able to call them
I opened a ticket with VZW and this is what has been done so far to no avail:
- Got a replacement phone
- Changed the SIM card
- Verizon Re-provisionned the phone number
- Disabled LTE
- Reset Network Settings
- Power cycle the phone (many many times)
Verizon said my issue is due to network extenders in the area. Well, if this is true then thousands of VZW customers would have this issue as network extenders are all over the place in Boston. So far VZW does not have a solution to my problem.
My next step is to reactivate my old iPhone 4S to see if it is a iPhone5 issue or something else. will keep you posted.

If they say they did, ask them to re-provision the account. Sometimes errors occur and the account is not provisioned correctly, even though features are included in your plan according to the billing system.

Find certain areas of text from a text file

Hello all java Gurus! I need your help on something I am trying to do in order to learn java. I am very newbie and please show mercy if I don't understand every answer you probably give me. Here is my problem. I have text file with certain areas I need to "isolate" (to insert the data in a jTable after I solve this first).
Let's say we have the following data in a text file:
FILE IS "A.txt"
***first***
this is 1 line in first
this is 2 line in first
this is 3 line in first
***second***
this is 1 line in second
this is 2 line in second
this is 3 line in second
***third***
this is 1 line in third
this is 2 line in third
this is 3 line in third
**************I now need to read the "segment" that start with " *** blablabab *** " and ends with " ************** " and store the lines of this segment to another text file "B.txt".
So "B.txt" has let's say this "segment".
***second***
this is 1 line in second
this is 2 line in second
this is 3 line in second
**************How can I do this? I know how to read/write from/to a text file with FileReader and BufferReader but I have no idea how to experiment with this. Is there anyone who can give me a hint or a help to start?
I am very new to java so be gentle :-)
Thank you very much in advance.
Kostas

Well this is a very good and I think efficient way to
do but unfortunately I don't have a clue about regex
and how they work. This is something I should learn.
With the expression you wrote I would have each text
block at a time? This will be stored then to an
Arraylist like above? If you have another idea please
suggest. I am interested in learning new tricks :-)
Thanks for your reply notivago!!!
KostasRegular expressions have a somewhat steep learning curve but they are worthy the effort, they are fast and powerfull text finding tools, the whole idea is that you search the text for some pattern. I will provide you a sample code, it is half way to solve your problem, you will have to make some minor adjustements to use it you your real application(none in the RE itself I hope).
To understand it, look at the Pattern class documentation and the Matcher class documentation in the API.

        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile( "\\*{3}(.+?)\\*{3}$(.*?)\\*{14}", Pattern.DOTALL | Pattern.MULTILINE);
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
        matcher.find();
        System.out.println( "Header: " + matcher.group(1) );
        System.out.println( "Text Body: \n" + matcher.group(2) );
}The sample as is, runs and give you output that should be clear on how the expression works. Try running it.
May the code be with you.

Warp certain areas in a photo, PLEASE help.

I know that PSE 9 does not come with a "warp" feature (in transform or free transform).
Example scenario: In a photo of a face, I want to flatten or extend his nose.
Is it possible to select a certain area of photo and distort that area. Or any suggestion.
Thank you.

Ah..."Mesh Warp" was the phrase I was trying to think of. Thanks for jogging my memory.
You can select an area in the photo and have the Liquefy distortion only affect that selected area. The distortion won't go beyond the selected area, however.

Condition types restriction at only certain combination like Country/Tax

Dear All
In FV11/12, with object V_KONH_VKS we can restrict users accessing certain condition types (field - KSCHL). My query is that I have few condition types accessed by various Plants i.e. common across Plants/Company Codes. Hence would like to restrict users at Key combination level.
For eg.
Condition Type JMOP - Key combination u2018Country/Tax Codeu2019 and u2018Tax Classificationu2019. Certain users should be allowed to change this combination and other users can change other key combinations i.e u2018Plant/Vendor/Materialu2019, Plant/Material Groupu2019 etc.
Request your help asap.
Regards & Thanks

Hi Arpan,
wasnt that what i mentioned in the previous post? You cannot make a restrcition on the access of the pricing procedure (key combination as all of us refer it to). You can make restrictions on the condition table and the condition type but not on the different accesses of the condition table itself

How do you darken a certain area with CS5?

Is there a way to darken a certain area, such as hair, on a picture using Photoshop CS5?
Thank you

Or just select the hair and make the adjustments directly. Some refer to this as "destructive" editing, but I prefer to consider it "constructive".

Pixels appear incomplete in certain areas within text. The words are blurry like the pixels haven't fully opened...

text appears blurred only in certain areas. When you mouse over the text or highlight the text then remove the highlighting the text becomes crystal clear or sharp and will stay that way.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
