Scraping Sites, Touchy Subject??

Hi all,
I am beginning to realize that talking on a public forum can
be a 'touchy' subject when it comes to scraping content from
websites.
First off, I want to assure you that I am not doing anything
illegal. I am within my 'terms'.
I am hoping that someone here can direct me to where to go to
get the help that I need.
I have a problem with a login system that I have not come
across before and need someone who has extensive experience with
scraping information from a 'logged in' area of a website.
I am looking for a contact or for a private web forum where I
can speak freely about this.
Can anyone tell me where to go? Please feel free to contact
me on 'back channel'. william (at) seiter (dot) com
Thank you in advance for your help,
William

Thanks for simplifying this for everyone, Murray.
Antimusic: While it is not possible to upload an Adobe video to your site, you can embed a video from http://tv.adobe.com using the embed code for the video. Is that what you were looking for?
Thanks,

Web sites will not fully load. MSNBC, Fox and CNN load a partial page or load a text only version. this issue just started about a week ago.

Some news web sites will not fully load. MSNBC will only show the head line and advertisers. CNN and Fox show a text only version with very limited pictures and the same for . Durdge report loads fully as will the Chicago Trib. seems like only certain news sites are subject to this partial display. have not seen this on commercial sites.

Printing from Citrix ICA Client

Have recently been attempting to connect my husband's medical office to the local hospital through Citrix,(MetaFrameXP). We are a MacOS network running 10.4 on 6 iMac G5s.In addition we are putting this on his MacBookPro running 10.4.8. Citrix ICA Client7.00.407 has been downloaded,redownloaded,installed,uninstalled,reinstalled multiple times on two different workstations. We are finally connected-kudos to Apple support forum suggesting using Firefox. It has been very problematic with no support from the hospital whose liason people have reiterated that they don't support Macs-an understatement. Citrix web site is not much help and their forum for Macs seem to indicate that Citrix isn't responsive to Mac users either. Though we are finally connected, we are unable to print to our HP1320tn. We get a print window with "default printer" in the pull down as the only option. Click it-nothing. Noplace to go to change any print driver options- something that might be corrected on the server at the hospital but from posts to the forum, it looks as though admin guys are having a problem with the fix at their end to. From Citrix forum, this seems to have become more of a problem since their ClientICA upgrade to version 7-our only option. Several posted that they were able to print by going back to version 6 of Client. Great if you've been a user but Citrix advised today by phone that it's not available if it's not on the web-they do not make available older versions. Explained situation to hospital rep and asked to speak to IT guy. He did not want to let me talk to him-says Mac use is a "touchy" subject with the IT department. I'll be pushing that issue further but I'm not certain that they'll be able to help anyway. Does anyone have any ideas or alternately access to ICAClient6 MacOsX that we could get to? I'm definitely feeling like a Star-Bellied Sneetch with stars upon thars. DEW

Thank you Stress Test.
But I was looking further using the new Citrix name you mentioned and found now this updated Citrix file. It is a file from August 27th. So I will try that one first.

How to pan audio – precisely?

I have a subsequence, where I want an audio track to pan from left to right, say from -70 to +70. I can do this by selecting track key frames, show pan key frames. Using the audio mixer I can set the panning to -70. I then set a key frame at the start of the clip and move CTI to the end of the clip. Now I cannot use the audio mixer to set the end value to +70. I can change the value, but it is ignored without change (it reverts as soon as I move CTI), allegedly because the key frames indicate that automation has been added to the track. It seems that the only way is to move the key frame with the mouse and try to get as close to +70 as possible.
What have I overlooked? Clearly, there must be a way to do this? For volume, the Effects control can be used, but it has no panning control. I know, I could use a balance effect, but it seems as an overkill for a simple panning.

VidMuze,
This is a "slippery slope," and things can get pretty gray.
As an example, the MOD on the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum is part of a multi-tier Web site, Muvipix. It's multi-tier, in that it is open to post and read (their Community Forums) to anyone. If one takes advantage of the free "sign-up," then there are many articles, etc., that become available, and more material that is available for a price to download. Then, there is a full subscription, where everything is available for no additional charge. When he, or I, link to Muvipix, we try to explain the multi-tier aspect, and define what is available for free, just so that there are no surprises. As Muvipix is in partnership with Adobe, some potential issues are probably skirted, but still, no one wants to give the impression that EVERYTHING there is for free. Sometimes a tough call.
Also, that MOD is an author of books on several Adobe programs (plus a few non-Adobe programs), so linking to his books is a bit of a touchy subject. Still, individually, he's an Adobe Partner, so some of the legal stuff is covered in contracts' fine-print.
Good luck,
Hunt

FCP5 and 24p

Hello,
I just got on board this project. I'm basically trying to make the process of editing it smoother than what it has been up tuntil now.
They shot in 24p. I don't know if it was advanced or standard. They are about to start editing with Final Cut Pro 5.
The output will be a 24p DV and maybe even film (as somebody is offering it for free -- of course no tests were run beforehand, they just forged ahead)
Here are my questions:
(A) - How do I find out what 24p they shot in? I read somewhere on this forum that one would need to take a look at the frame rate. But what's the difference between the frame rate of 24p advanced and 24p standard?
(B) - Which setting should the editor use to capture the 24p Standard footage, considering that we are going for a 24p DVD output?
(C) - Would the editor be right to use the "DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal" setting to capture the 24p Advanced footage?
(D) - What do people mean by "24p DVD" output? Is it simply to burn a 24 final cut on a DVD? Or does it require more work than that? (We have the DVD authoring software that comes with the Final Cut Studio package)
Thank you much for the help.
Alex

What a goldmine this thread was to me this week! I had almost an identical situation arise. 24p 16:9 that the client wanted burned to DVD.
The media was on MiniDV 1hr26min. of footage. He also wanted to keep it at 23.98 for the DVD vs. 29.97
After careful reading of this thread and a couple of others to get some real-world working knowledge of 24p and the workflow, off to burn I went!
A couple of important things came to mind. Fisrt it was really a lifesaver to visit http://www.jkor.com/peter/24editing.html before starting.
By reading that site I found out that my MiniDV deck JVC BR-600UA would not allow you to use the Easy Setup for Advanced Pulldown. That was a touchy subject for me, because I had already commited to the job. A quick call to the client to ask about camera settings during the shoot eased my mind. He had not used Advanced Pulldown.
Now it was just a matter of capturing and running Cinema Tools to remove the pulldown. Well almost...
Since the project was ws on 2 tapes and had minimal editing, I simply made 2 captures. The issue was that Cap1, was 60min long and the file was to large for Cinema Tools to handle.
The shorter Cap2 was no problem. After breaking the first Cap into two smaller clips, it went like butter. Lesson learned:)
Next came Compressor for the MPEG files and finally DVDSP, in which I got another surprise. This project was going to require a Dual Layer disc.
Somehow I missed the part in the manual where it talks about establishing a break-point marker in your timeline. Lesson learned
Bottom line... Project is complete 2 days ahead of schedule and works perfectly.
Thank you to all who contribute here. The 1 hour of research saved me at least 3 days of headaches, and certainly would have created quite a different post here in this forum from me on this subject.
LOL!

How many times can you install FCP?

Hello everyone, new to the forums here. I've searched throught he forums but couldnt find an answer to my question.
I'm in the middle of installing Final Cut Studio 2 (waiting to put in the next disc) when my buddy came over and mentioned that you could only install FCP one time and never install it again on any other computer. This worries me because in January I was going to get a new Mac Pro and un-install FC from my Macbook Pro so I could use it on the new computer. Is this possible? Or once I install this on my laptop is it permanent?
Thanks in advance for the help

Ok so you can install it on as many machines as you like but can only use (or have one activated through registering) one at a time. I know this is a touchy subject with piracy and all, but I thought it would just be rediculous if I installed this on my laptop, and 6 months down the line wanted to install it on another computer that I own.

Objectives of Lenovo Discussion Forums:
These communities have been created to provide a high quality atmosphere in which users of Lenovo products and services may share experiences and expertise. While members from Lenovo may participate at intervals to engage in the discussions and offer advice and suggestions, this forum is not designed as a dedicated and staffed support channel. This is an informal and public forum, and Lenovo does not guarantee the accuracy of information and advice posted here -- see important Warranty information below.
RULES OF CONDUCT -- YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Lenovo reserves the right to remove inappropriate language and postings, such as those examples listed below, from the discussion forums. In such instances, the user will be warned and may be banned from future participation
Prohibitions
No posts, forum IDs or email addresses shall contain profanity (implied or otherwise), or hate language targeting race / ethnicity, religion, gender, nationality, or political beliefs.

No pornography, in the form of written words, expressions, posted images, or links to external material will be tolerated.
No personal threats will be tolerated against forum members, Lenovo employees, or company affiliates.
No personal attacks.
It is fair to state disagreement with facts or conclusions that another member has posted, but dissent must be expressed in an objective, and reasoned manner. Treat others with the respect you wish to receive. Remember that the community is here to share collective experiences and wisdom, with the goal of all members enjoying greater success with their Lenovo products. Consider whether your comments serve to advance the discussion in a positive direction.
No Trolling or deliberate disruption of discussion . Inflammatory post or thread titles are unacceptable and may be moderated.
Inflammatory, or unnecessarily argumentative postings will be considered trolling. Extended debate with moderators or admins over their decisions with regard to moderation of posts is considered trolling. Do not subvert threads. No vendetta posts, or online campaigning. It is acceptable to state concern for how a particular Lenovo policy, performance, or procedure does or does not meet the expectation of a particular member, but it is not acceptable to use this forum in an attempt to broadly organize or incite members en mass, to cancel orders, return systems, undertake legal action or otherwise disrupt the normal business processes of Lenovo.
No posting of private information.
Privacy - Lenovo respects the privacy of each member - please find the privacy link in the footer on each page of the forum. As such, we request that participants respect the privacy of all community members and of Lenovo employees that they speak with on the phone, or correspond with via email. Posts revealing items such as full names, email, or direct phone numbers of others without their express consent is prohibited.
No commercial solicitation, other than advertisements placed by Lenovo.
This is not intended as an online shopping or trading forum. Members may not post inventories of items, or list items for sale on a routine basis. "Wanted" posts (e.g., a member seeking a 701c system) are permitted on a one-off basis. Individuals may also post single Lenovo products, or directly related accessory items as "for sale" in the general discussion area. Posts for non Lenovo related products are not acceptable (so no cars, boats,planes, tennis rackets,MP3 players, for example). Discretion of forum administrators to remove an item is reserved in all instances.
No solicitation for, nor exchange of information that will aid or enable unethical, illegal, immoral or unsafe activities.
For example, no posts concerning exchange of passwords, credit or banking information, warranty entitlement information for purpose of re-entitling out of warranty products. No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms, fingerprint scans, etc, or to subvert safety measures. Nor shall any posts provide descriptions to the location of, nor direct links to content related to these topics.
Members are restricted to a single online persona
Members may not register under multiple IDs, or utilize multiple email addresses within the Lenovo communities. This rule applies to Lenovo blogs and the forum. Posting under multiple IDs can be a deceptive practice and could create false impressions. The consistent use of a single ID / Persona whether posting response comments on Lenovo Blogs, or in active forum participation enhances the reputation and recognition of the individual community member.
Do not embed large photos (above 100K) or cut and paste large areas (use of quote) unnecessarily as these behaviors degrade the performance of the forum and detract from the overall usability and experience of others. Instead, host photos externally and link to them as needed within your posts. If you must post to the forum, post in the photos area, remembering to title the thread photo thread appropriately when you post them to. Try to limit each photo to 100K or less in size, and provide a warning of "large attachments" if you are posting lots of pictures or if you had to go above 100K.

Do not attempt to subvert or corrupt the software of the forum
- members attempting to do so will be banned.
No posts or signatures with intent to promote or advertise
Any way of personal blogs/ websites/ pages/ affiliated websites/ resources are not allowed.* Links may be removed at Lenovo's discretion. Repeat offenders may face suspensions/ banning of accounts
a) External Links
External links to other sites are permitted when they are relevant to the discussion and the information included is not available or cannot be found in the Lenovo forums or websites. Users are not permitted to repeatedly link or post threads with intention to link to personal blogs, websites or other personal resources in the web as this will be considered as advertising or board spamming.

Repeat offences will result in forum membership being revoked.
b) Signatures
Members are encouraged to include their system details in their signature as this will inform and assist others who may be offering advice. No pictures are permitted in signatures. A single discreet link to a personal website or other online resource is permitted in the signature line. However, the link must not be directed to any site containing subjects listed in the Prohibitions section of these guidelines. Members are not permitted to refer to the signature link in the body of their post text as this will be considered as advertising or board spamming.
Guidelines and Recommendations
Before creating a new thread, search the appropriate section of the forum first for any existing and related threads. It may be more constructive to all, to advance the knowledge of an existing thread than to create a possibly redundant one. If you find something similar, but believe your topic is unique enough to create a new thread, then do create the new thread choosing your title carefully (see below). Provide some comments as to the existence of the related thread(s) you found and link to them. This will help other users and the moderators to provide the most valuable responses possible.
Post to the correct area - Post new threads in the sections for the particular family of systems, Thinkpads, Thinkcentres, Lenovo 3000, etc. Choose the proper series of systems - T, X, G, H, etc. Moderators will move threads to appropriate sections.
Title threads appropriately. The title of a thread should accurately reflect the subject of the discussion and be as technically specific as possible. Avoid inflammatory or emotional statements that do not aid the development of the conversation. Thread titles are indexed not only for search functions within the forum, but often externally in Google, Yahoo, etc. Proper thread titles will aid the active members of the Lenovo community, as well as non-members who may be searching more broadly. Example of a good thread title: T Thinkpad Blue Screens after suspend . Example of a bad thread title: Stupid computer locks up - worthless piece of junk. Moderators may alter thread titles to be more meaningful if less than appropriate titles are chosen.
Use pictures to aid understanding and comprehension when appropriate. Screen captures of settings, pull down menus, or error messages can be very helpful in understanding an issue and helping to resolve it. Digital pictures of systems and their environments can also be helpful from time to time. Host pictures externaly, or post to photos area. Limit size to 100K or less. 10M pixel cameras are cool but the resulting file sizes are not. You can check out this article About Posting Pictures In The Forums for more useful details.
Look for ways to advance the richness of the forum. Share awareness of this forum with other users of Lenovo products that you know. Participate in special interest areas. Look for opportunities to mentor junior members - help them along the path to greater knowledge, share shortcuts. Do link to external resources and documents. Members that distinguish themselves by consistently providing quality answers, that advance the collective understanding, and resolve specific problems will attain higher rankings and privileges.
Please restrict off topic discussions to the general area.
There are thousands of online communities dedicated to a wide variety of topics from automobiles, to astronomy, folk arts to fly fishing. This community is dedicated to the Lenovo family of products, services, and the community members who own, use, and benefit from them.
Country Location
- Members should denote their country location in their personal profile. Location is important when offering advice, as sales, service, and product options may not be consistent country to country. Note that community members from other countries may not all share the same understanding of metaphors, social references, or slang expressions. Posts authored with this in mind may be more easily understood by all. This field is a requirement during registration.

How do I look up a web page I visited last week?

I received confirmation of an event I registered for, but I hadn't printed it out yet, before that tab disappeared when I hibernated the computer. Is there a way I can retrieve it? The history tool only shows February or earlier; this was in March. The Cache add-on I tried only shows today.

If you know part of the name of the site or subject, press CTRL+H to open History, then type a search string in the space at the top.
Firefox retains your history for 180 days provided you didn't surf in Private Browsing mode. Hit CTRL+SHIFT+P to perform the latter function.

Is the rating system really necessary?

I know... I know... I'm probably getting on a touchy subject here.
I understand the desire for a sort of incentive for people to answer questions but it is my observation that use of points is hardly consistent. For the most part, it seems like questions from established users tend to get helpful and solved answers most of the time. Great. The point system works in that instance.
I have also noticed that I will see someone come on the boards, post a question, get their answer and never post again. They either don't know about the rating system or they do not stay long enough to use it.
Does that mean I need to look at the O.P.'s post count before I post an answer? I think that's shallow. If someone has question and I think I know a solution, then I will post a solution.
But what is the solution? Do away with the rating system? I think some upper-level members would have a justifiable objection to that. Change it to a raw post count? I suspect we would see an even higher number of posts deleted because of people trying to pad their numbers.
What if members received 1 point for marking an answer as helpful and 2 points for marking an answer as solved?
Its a thought.

No, the rating (reputation) system isn't really necessary, but it does serve as an incentive for many people to increase their participation, and increased participation lends itself to the perception of increased value in this Apple-provided service, if not to the usefulness of the bulk of the posts that are left here.
Ultimately, there are a lot of things that go into the decision to attach a reputation system of one kind or another to Discussions, and there has been one such system or another in place here for many years, so there is no reason to believe that the concept will ever be abandoned.
As to the idea that upper-level members would object to its loss, yes, some would. Maybe many. On the other hand, there are quite a few of us who see through this charade and do what we can do undermine its importance relative to the real mission of Apple's Discussions. In the end, I'd like to think that our cynicism helps to balance out the "shallowness" of post-count building and points-grubbing strategies that seem to obsess many of our peers.
What if members received 1 point for marking an answer as helpful and 2 points for marking an answer as solved?
I've suggested this myself in the past, but one of the roadblocks to its implementation is that the current software is only able to mete out points in increments of 5. Oh well....
Good luck!

How do I alert Apple about a bug?

Greetings again. It is not at all clear how (or whether!) discussions on Apple Support Communities turn into bug reports that Apple might work on. For example, I started a thread at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3574736 that had a lot of "yes, I saw that bug too". We figured out a non-Apple workaround, but no one from Apple has chimed in and said "we see this and it is now in our bug tracking database".
Does someone from Apple read all threads here looking for bugs? If yes, do they tell the thread when a bug report is filed? If no, how does one turn a thread into a bug report?

They do. From the front page of the forums:

What is wrong in the syntax below. i am getting error, sql not ended proper

Need help on CASE syntax. what is wrong with this syntax?
update subject_data set subject_data.value =
case when site.country_id = 222 then 'USA'
when site.country_id = 14 then 'Australia'
when site.country_id = 23 then 'Belgium'

Hi,
If I remember well this UPDATE FROM syntax is coming from Microsoft SQL Server. I might be wrong because last time I was working on MS SQL Server was 12 years ago. After that I have only worked with Oracle.
And the Oracle syntax for the update is the one explained by Frank. Solomon also gave you another way to do your update.
I could not test this query but I think you could also use an inline view in this way:
UPDATE (SELECT subject_data.VALUE, site.country_id
          FROM subject_data
               INNER JOIN subject
                  ON subject_data.subject_id = subject.id
               INNER JOIN site
                  ON site.id = subject.site_id
         WHERE subject_data.datagroup_id = 445)

I cannot get into any sights

When I click on Firefox, I enter the then type in a site or subject, and every time the response is "Unable to connect" box. This situation began 17.08.2010.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings". 
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]] 
 
You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection 
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

Scraping Sites, Touchy Subject??
