Should all Distro's have something like this?

I use both Arch and Gentoo and Ive just found what I thought was a great idea in the Gentoo forums.
http://www.gentoo-users.org/
What do people think?

This reminds me of an idea I had some time ago. Have every distro add an option on the install to add yourself to a user base on a website to track how many people are really using Linux. I know there is there is already a site like that, but something automated with every user would be cool (and you could opt out of registering during installation). A list of users like that could definately help out with gaining hardware support (or perhaps proprietary software if you're into that).

Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

I have a little symbol appearing on all my entries which looks like this: ~ What does this mean?

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
For the WiFi issue try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You can also power cycle your router, Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

tonefox is probably right. Server overload. I also notice that when siri does respond correctly, it is slower. My wife has a 4s and same story, and she has not upgraded to IOS 7.
So it's not just you (if that makes you feel any better).

Sony, please tell me how you allow something like this to happen? Horrific Support Experience

So, the below happened. Essentialy, Sony sent me four broken TVs, forced me to spend about 20 hours of time replacing those TVs, and has refused to replace my broken television. The below is a chain with one of your reps. I would never have expected such a poor customer service experience from a company of Sony's caliber. It has been very disappointing. You insist that you are giving me an "offer" but you have given me no options whatsoever.
I note that you continue to maintain that there is no viable replacement. However, a simple search on your webpage and online shows that there are multiple 48 inch LED televisions still available. I find your representation to be disengenuous. The below chain is only one point in the long line of frustrating communications with your representatives. All told me different things and made promises that were not kept. I can only imagine how my case file looks.
I would like an explanation from Sony how you could allow something like this to happen? This has been the most frustrating experience I have ever had with a electronics company -- and I have had alot. It has been terrible.

Thank you for contacting Sony and for accepting the offer. We apologize that we cannot offer you the regular retail price of the unit since that is not the amount that you paid it for. We will email you a prepaid shipping label which you can use to ship us back your TV and once we determined that it is in transit back to us we will process the check with the amount of $369.99 and you will receive the check in 4-6 weeks.

How you get away with treating your customers like this is beyond me. I am telling you that I purchased the television at a discounted rate that I am no longer able to obtain. In other words, the amount you are refunding me will not make me whole. I am also telling you that your colleague literally offered me a refurbished TV about two hours ago (apparently your group offers less to customers now). You have already sent me three TVs and wasted about 20 hours of my time. Despite all that, you unapologetically state that your "FINAL" offer gets me to nowhere that I need to be. You have no remorse for the situation and have not gone any extra distance to make a customer whole, which is all that I am asking for.
You have beaten me into submission over the past month with broken TVs, hours wasted shipping, long conversations with support representatives, and failed promises. You guys go ahead and do whatever it is you need to do. There is only so much that I can argue about. No customer should expect this type of treatment from a company like Sony. People purchase Sony so that they DONT have to deal with that type of nonsense. This has honestly been the worst customer service interaction I have ever had.

Your file is being already being handled by our department which is the highest level you can get since our managers and supervisors are not part of the escalation path. The $319.99 is the amount that you paid for the TV and that is what we are going to refund you and the $50 is for compensation. You are getting more than what you paid for the TV so Sony believes it will cut it. Our offer is FINAL. Thank you.

Mark,
I just spoke to an individual on the phone who told me that you could send a refurbished model . That conversation is exactly what prompted my email to this email address -- they told me to reach out here because you could provide me a better option rather than the two that were given. Now you are telling me that not only can you not offer me a better option but that you are taking away an option previously given. This is getting more and more ridiculous. I am sorry but this just isnt working for me. I dont understand how there is this much miscommunication between your departments.
I would like to be put in touch with a manager on this case. Your offer to refund me 320 + 50 will not cut it. I am amazed that a company like Sony, which people purchase because of the supposed product support and service, is failing their customer in this way. It's very disappointing.

Thanks, Mark. My preference would then be to try a refurbished model one more time. The issue is that I got the TV at Black Friday discount. I wouldnt be able to replace it even if I wanted to. So, I will try one more time and go from there. Please let me know once the TV is shipped.

Thank you for contacting Sony. We apologize if you don’t want that option but this is the best Sony can offer since there is no same or comparable model to offer you anymore. If the unit will be replaced it will be the 4th time already and to tell you honestly it will be much cheaper for you to just buyback the unit rather than to pay the shipper deliver the TV every time we replace it and we are not saying that it is your fault just to make it clear. We will buyback the unit for $319.99 and we will add up another $50 as compensation for all the troubles. Please let us know once you have made your decision. Thank you.

I don't want that option. I would take a refurbished model again over the refund.
You are saying that I spend 20 hours of my life dealing with you, driving to and from fed ex three times, mounting and taking down three broken televisions, and you do nothing to compensate me for my time? I would never expect this from a company like Sony.

Over the past month, you have sent me four defective TVs. I cannot tell you how frustrating this process has been for me. I never would have thought that a company like Sony could be this bad. It has been like pulling teeth with you all.
I purchased my television thinking that it would come along with the best product and support in the market. That has not been the case. My TV broke down within a year and now you have sent literally four televisions to replace it but none of them have worked.
The latest contact I got was that you have run out of new television for my model and instead need to send me another refurbished one or refund me. I do not want either option.
I want a brand new TV. I dont care if it's the same one or a better one but it has to be new. It cannot be refurbished. I do not want a refund.
At this point, I have spent about 20 hours of my life on the phone with you or shipping back and forth items. I would also like compensation to account for that time.
Please email me or call me with a response.

Hi! i'm having a problem with my safari as unnecessary new tabs keeps opening overtime i open some link! is anyone experiencing something like this !

hi! i'm having a problem with my safari as unnecessary new tabs keeps opening overtime i open some link! is anyone experiencing something like this !

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How difficult would it be to create something like this?

I'm looking to create a flash widget similar to what WoW has
on their main page -
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml
It needs to have images & text that could be called from
a php or text file, so that it can be dynamically changed. Movies
will also be integrated in the rotation as well for the Flash.
How difficult would this be for someone who's new to flash?
How long would it take and what all is needed to learn how to
re-create something like this?

The difficulty and time to do it depends on the learning
capability of the new programmer. Patience and a drive to learn is
what all is needed. Accomplishing one step at a time is probably
the best approach, whether you're new or well-versed.

Exist a Jtree node.id or something like this ?

I would want to retrieve a node using a unique 'id', for example the absolute index (into the total nodes count)
Is there something like this ?
Can I add a particular property to a node ? ( for example this 'id' if it does not exist )
Another question :
If I want to implement a search code, this 'id' can be useful, or must I transverse the whole Jtree
Thanks

Hello.
Do the following:
1. Go to the Apple Menu at the top left of the screen
2. Select Software Update...
3. Install any updates that are found.
If the Amazon issue continues after these updates, then do this:
1. Open Safari
2. Erase any web address you have currently showing (for example www.apple.com or www.google.com)
3. Type in www.amazon.com
4. That should take you directly to amazon.com
It should look like this in your Safari::

Invisible page or something like this?

Hi,
do we have something like invisible page? For example, i have
a class with many many children, and the drawing of this class take
a time. I thought that i can draw my class (and all the children)
somewhere on invisible page, and that if it ready transform this
"ready" page to the visible page, so the user can see this control
and work this it.
Is it possible?

You could use the viewstack container to accomplish what you
need. you can layout a viewstack with two children, the first one a
canvas and a label maybe that gives your users some feedback, and
another children containig your whole class, so if you have a
function or your class dispatches an event when it creation its
completed you can the change the viewstack selectedchildren to
reveal your class.

Does Something Like This Exist Already (for Window Managers)

I know that one can use idesk to produce launchers for desktop programs in window managers like Openbox, but what about an actual small file manager, that always sits on the desktop, confined to its own little space. Kind of like conky, if this makes sense.
I don't have a great deal of programming knowledge, just basics, but I've toyed with the idea of making a script to constantly reedit the idesk config file to do this, and while it could work, it's messy at best, and doesn't provide the same desired effect that a small desktop folder sitting on the WM desktop would.
If this does exist, I give my apologies, but I did try to search Google for it, but got junk results. Also, would something like this be feasible? (I am looking for a way to improve my programming skills over the summer, and was thinking that this could possibly be a way to do it.) Even further, would it be acceptable to use Python for it?

Hi!
I don't really get what you mean... the Desktop usually is a file manager, isn't it? I'm not sure if Thunar draws the desktop, but Nautilus can even be pretty bitchy if something else (like conky) wants to have a piece. I didn't care enough about rox and its "everything's a folder"-philosophy to take a really close look at it, but there was an option to have it provide a desktop, too, if I remember right. And rox sounded/looks a lot, as it would provide the most "normal filemanager" behaviour when providing the Desktop (didn't try though - maybe I will).
http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5576/shot0004bvb.jpg
Did my best to try to elaborate by using an example there on a screenshot of my desktop. (A sloppy edit done in the GIMP)
EDIT: What I would be looking for is something contained to that spot, so that way, if I were to right click inside of the rectangle, such as on a file, I would get options with what to open the file, or something else, even copy, cut, paste, or delete. However, if I were to right click outside of the rectangle, I would get my openbox menu. Hope this helps make more sense.

How to make something like this in Edge Animate?

Hi,
I'm hoping to make something like this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJeDppEHI1g – in Edge Animate but I'm not sure where to start.
I'm new to Edge but am keen to explore.
Anyone have any feedback on whether:
1. It's possible, and
2. What techniques/effects have been used.
Thanks!

Hi there and welcome,
Could you be a little more specific on what it is exactly that you would want to create? Most of what I can see from that website is doable in Edge Animate, but if you specify what it is you'd like to accomplish I could walk you through how to do it.
Thanks!

Anyone know how to create something like this?

I've been asked to make something like
this
except for newsletters instead of business cards. If anyone
has seen any tutorials covering anything like this I would love to
hear about them, or if you have some ideas of how to start.
I tried using image swap for the background and writing over
it using layers but realized I wouldn't know which background they
chose and the text on the layer won't move to accomidate each
template. Is this something that needs to be done in Flash? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Chris

This page appears to be done with javascript and ASP.net. The
coding
involved is not for the beginner or the timid.
