Silver graph performance (apparent serious 2011 flaw)

I noticed that cpu usage was quite high for some VIs and ended up finding out with simple comparison benchmarks (using performance and memory test) that a VI with the new silver graph runs about 25 times slower than a vi with the old, uh, modern graph at default graph size. For a graph widened to cover a wide screen, it decreased to about 190 times slower, a horrible crawl. For the test I just generated random numbers put into a 2000 element 1D array to be graphed (couldn't attach the test VIs for some reason).
The silver graph looks nice, but what in the world is going on here?

Serious security flaw found in IE

*Important Information*
A serious security flaw is found in Internet Explorer today and everybody is been advised by 'MICROSOFT' not to use Internet Explorer for any confidential banking transactions until the new patch is released.
The new patch would be released at the earliest and Microsoft advices everybody to use the browser from their rivals until the patch is released.

I advise everybody to use the browser from their rivals, even after the the patch is released!
I couldn´t agree more
Maybe the browser was patched now so the data is not stolen by "someone" but to Microsoft instead when surfing MSDN

Regular expressions: serious design flaw?

I wondered why sometimes, the replaceAll() method works in my code and sometimes it throws a java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException. I wrote a little test case to show the problem
private void regularExpressionTest() {
        String escapers = "\\([{^$|)?*+."; //characters to escape to avoid PatternSyntaxException
        String text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
        System.out.println("Original: "+text);
        String regExp = "o";
        String word = "HELLO";
        String result = text.replaceAll(regExp, word);
        System.out.println("Replace all '"+regExp+"' with "+word+": "+result);
        text = "The quick brown {animal} jumps over the lazy dog.";
        System.out.println("Original: "+text);
        regExp = "{animal}";
//        regExp = escapeChars(regExp, escapers); //escape possible regular expression characters
        word = "catterpillar";
        result = text.replaceAll(regExp, word);
        System.out.println("Replace all '"+regExp+"' with "+word+": "+result);
}//regularExpressionTest()The output is:
Original: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Replace all 'o' with HELLO: The quick brHELLOwn fHELLOx jumps HELLOver the lazy dHELLOg.
Original: The quick brown {animal} jumps over the lazy dog.

Exception in thread "main" As the first replacement works as espected, the second throws an Exception. Possible because '{' is a special character for the regular expression API. In case I know the regular expression, i could escape these special characters. But in my generic server app, the strings are all parameters, so the only way for replaceAll() to work is, to escape all possible special characters in the regular expression.
1. Is there a complete list of all special characters for regular expressions that need to be escaped?
2. Is there a similar replaceAll() method without regular expressions? So that all occurences of a substring can be replaced by another string? (So far, I wrote my own method but this is of course more time consuming for massive string operations.)

1. The complete list of specially-recognized characters are listed in the Java 1.4.* API. (Of course, new ones may eventually be added as the regex package matures).
2. It is time consuming to program in general. You should have written your own utility method that goes through a String using indexOf and building up the String in a StringBuffer, and apparently you did. Now you have the utility method...you no longer need to write that method again.
3. Or you could have written some kind of method that automatically escapes the specially-recognized characters...

Serious design Flaw on Zen Micro -now headphone ja

Ok...now im new in the old headphone jack problem..im sending it for replacement. Sad....i hope the new one breaks before the warranty ends, so i can at least enjoy the Zen for one year...then ill switch to Ipod.
This little thing sounds great, but creative must get new engineers....this flaw happens in almost every zen!....

I moved this to it's own thread as it wasn't related to the one you posted in (at all).

Why can't I sync more than one computer? This is a serious design flaw.

I have a macbook and so does my wife. So, who gets to sync and who ends up in the streaming ghetto? This is a pretty crappy design choice. We should both be able to sync to a combined library on the appletv so that we don't have to fight over who gets a less convenient experience on the appletv.
You can call it the "marriage saver".

You just need to get two Apple TV's and perhaps an HDMI switch so you can easily go back and forth between the two without having to buy another TV. Instead of getting a switch one person could use HDMI and the other could use component output but that might cause some problems as well. If you're only going to use Synching then AppleTV looks just like an iPod and you both need one of your own. It really isn't as ridiculous as it sounds since it's $50 cheaper than the 80GB video iPod.
Maybe you should both agree to stream. It works really well. Perhaps set up a common iTunes to synch from. Good luck .. I've got similar issues with both kids and wife! So I've an AppleTv in the Den for the kids (synched with Kids stuff) and in the Family room we have another AppleTV synched with more grown up stuff. To go back and forth we just stream to the other library.

Serious design flaw in iWeb needs fixing fast

I have been designing websites with various types of software in the past. Always a wysiwyg environment has been amongst my favourites as it shows exactly what you are doing, how it looks and what it's going to be like for the viewer.
Now iWeb does a fairjob at that but it has one MAJOR issue and that's publishing.
I have tried publishing to MobileMe, I tried local and upping the contents via a different FTP program and I have tried uploading to FTP from within iWeb.
The issue that a lot of people are reporting and Apple is ( regretabbly ) not doing anything about is the problem with the settings on the website ( left panel of iWeb)
Normally you would want to save everything of a certain website under a site. iWeb does that, fine.
Yet when you publish your site to MobileMe or any other FTP location, it ALWAYS adds the friggin' SITENAME to the path.
Why can't I get rid of that nonsense ? I want my site looking like http://www.mysite.ext/index.html
NOT like http://www.mysite.ext/<sitename>/index.html
So, to me, it looks like Apple is adding a variable to the publishing path which should NOT be there.
Please Apple, fix this or tell us in which plist this stupid setting is set so we may be able to change that. It's ridiculous this way.

@Ethmoid
Yes I have read your reply and it's similar to many replies in the forum.
Users always get put off with the same nonsense band-aid sollution like " publish locally then upload via other ftp program"
Although I will grant you this works, what use is the whole FTP function in the software if you cannot use it as it is supposed to work ?
Some other things I would like to mention in regards to this bug ( yes it is still a bug in my book )
- Apple does not mention the a-typical behavior anywhere in the documentation
- Apple does not mention the Auto-Adding of the Website name in the Knowledge Base
- Hundreds of people have complained about this odd behavior of the program
What really ticked me off today was the following:
I have tried to contact Apple in various ways about this bug.
Sent in feedback various times, tried this forum ( no luck thusfar ) and even started a Fast Lane Incident. The result of that was that I was given the option that I would have to pay 49 Euro's before apple would even listen to the problem. I tried to tell them that it's a bug in their software which I already had paid for.
In The Netherlands it's set by law that any product ( no matter what ) which does not perform as expected has to be solved by the company that made the product. ( there is more to that but i'll leave it as is for now )
So, I am a paying customer who paid for his software which has a bug. I ask for a sollution and all I get is " You have to pay 49 Euro's per incident" . *** ???
Now you can call me a ranter as many times as you want but no matter how you put it, the behavior in iWeb is odd in relation to any other ftp enabled web publishing client. Pick any 100 different softwares for web publishing with ftp feature and i'll bet you 100 US $ that at least 99 of them upload in the folder you set in the program and they will not add any folders by themselves the way iWeb does.
This combined with the many, many similar posts about this oddity, you cannot keep it up to tell all these users they rant and just need to buy another piece of software to do just that what iWeb should be able to do.
As for the fix.
If people are really " happy" with this behavior of auto-adding a sitename, then at least let Apple give us a choice to either switch this behavior ON or OFF. It should be easier to do and fix then any of the other bugs they recently fixed.
I really hope you see it as it is, a faulty product...

Serious security flaw: Can't clear password cache in iPhone 3G Safari!

One of the reasons I want an iPhone is so I can access the online membership database for my church. I recently went into the AT&T store to see if I could get to this password-protected site on an iPhone 3G. This is one of those sites that pops up a Windows NT-style password prompt, as opposed to a standard web form password.
After logging on and making sure it worked, I opened a blank page, closed out the site, went into Settings > Clear History, Clear Cache, Clear Cookies. The site was gone from history. But just to be safe I typed the URL in again to make sure the password was cleared. Guess what? It went straight in without prompting for a password! This is very dangerous in any situation, but since this was a public phone in an AT&T store I had a real dilemma as I'm responsible for keeping this membership data private. Sure, after clearing history people would have to guess at the URL but I didn't want to risk that. The AT&T salesman could not figure out how to completely clear the password cache, so we ended up doing a Reset All Data.
Please tell me there's another solution! If not, this would be an unacceptable security issue because whether it's a membership database or online banking, if I lose my iPhone it could spell disaster.

Hello there....welcome to the world of iPhone - where some of us have been here since the launch of the first iPhone. Obviously you have just had your iPhone for a few days. You will get over the typing issues. Just practice. You will stop hitting the send button as soon as you get used to typing.
As for the contact issues you have - You delete groups of contacts - or all - in whatever software you use on your computer to organize your contacts. Outlook? You don't need to save your contacts to a sim card as you have them on your BIG SIMCARD you are using right now....your computer.
If someone steals your phone and tries to change the sim card, Apple/AT&T have the ability to lock the phone down so it can't be used. I've had it done when my first phone was stolen.
There ya go. Welcome to the board.
Please choose to get to know your phone better before proclaiming it less than perfect. THANKS!

Serious Design Flaw in iPhone 3G SMS UI!

Problem: In the SMS screen, the "Send" button is just right on top of the keyboard's U, I, O , P keys. Whenever I try to tap these keys, I'll hit the "Send" button accidentally. And then there's no way to cancel the transmission. Many of my friends seem to have similar issue.
Request:
o I hope the Apple team can place the "Send" button away from the keyboard.
o Add the ability to cancel SMS transmission if it's in progress.
On some side issues, I also noticed the iPhone lacks the following basic phone features:
o Deleting multiple/all contacts.
o Save contacts to SIM card.
o Add security code to the phone like one of those in Nokia. That means if a different SIM card is used, the phone will prompt for security code.
If these problems can be solved, then I'm pretty such Apple makes a very good product.

Grapher.app versions 1.1 & 2.2

Pour les amateurs de mathématiques et sciences,
“Grapher.app“ est dans les utilitaires des applications *de Mac OS X 10.4 & 10.7 ; c'est un très intéressant logiciel traceur de graphes mathématiques et éditeur d'équations, dont l'aide beaucoup trop succinte ne dévoile qu'une petite partie des possibilités. Une notice plus complète de 78 pages en langue française, illustrée de copies d'écran et débutant par une initiation progressive, est téléchargeable gratuitement sur le site :

For persons interested in mathematics and sciences,
“Grapher.app“ is an Application Utility of Mac OS X 10.4 & 10.7, it is a very interesting graph plotter software and math equation editor, but Grapher's Help is a lot too brief and reveals only a small fraction of its possibilities . A more complete MANUAL of 78 pages in ENGLISH, illustrated with screen captures and starting with tutorials, is downloadable free on the website :

It is not advertising : my website is not commercial nor for advertising, nothing to sell, nothing to be paid. I created it and wrote a manual for Grapher, only because Apple's Help of Grapher is very poor compared with Curvus Pro's one.
The second reason is the great number of bugs created by Apple when Curvus Pro became Grapher, 19 of them still alive in the last version 2.2 of Grapher. They are listed in the manual with their remedies.
Shall I congratulate Apple's developers for that ?
I try to help Grapher users and lovers. All stuff on my website may be used free by everybody, there is no copyright, it's free of charge.

Dreamweaver CS5 update apparently fixes Mac FileVault problem

Adobe has just released Dreamweaver 11.0.2 (build 4916), which is intended to fix the problem with running Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac OS X with FileVault enabled. Adobe Updater should automatically detect the update, and display the Adobe logo in the menu bar at the top right of the screen on a Mac. Click the logo, and select Adobe Updater. Alternatively, select Help > Updates in Dreamweaver.
I don't use FileVault, so can't verify that the update fixes the problem. Hopefully, it does.

I was getting the same error message on both Windows 7 64-bit as well as XP 32-bit. When CS5 Dreamweaver installs (and several other Adobe CS5 products) it includes an older version of the Java 1.6 Runtime Environment which has known serious security flaws. My university's computer security people got a report from Secunia PSI that I was running vulnerable software (an older version of Java) and demanded that I immediately upgrade.
But I do have the latest updates of the JRE installed, so I was puzzled by this. When I looked at the Secunia report, the JRE culprits were installed in the Programs\Adobe folders as part of each application such as Dreamweaver (and several others). So I removed the insecure JRE folders under those program installations and replaced them with the updated JRE folder from the Java installation (JVM for DW). Granted, this was a bit of a gamble since the registry was not modified, but I had not experienced any problems until I kept getting the installation failure reported here for the CS5 DW update failure with no explanation.
Realizing that Dreamweaver is still a 32-bit app even when running on 64-bit Win 7, and I was running the 64-bit version of Java 1.6 v20, I thought I should have used the 32-bit version of Java to replace the insecure version installed under Dreamweaver. I tried that, as above, but the DW CS5 update still failed.
Then I tried to reinstall CS5 Dreamweaver only, which succeeded with the older insecure JRE which then immediately got flagged by Secunia PSI. Furthermore, the Dreamweaver update still failed with no explanation. I noticed that some of the previous Java files (by their dates) were still left in the DW installation JVM folder, after the re-install. So next I removed the entire Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5 folder, and did a clean reinstall of Dreamweaver CS5 only. It was immediately detected again by Secunia PSI as have an insecure version of JRE. However, this time when I did the Dreamweaver update, it succeeded (v11.0 build 4916) on my 64-bit Win 7 machine.
So the choice currently appears to get Dreamweaver CS5 updates with an older insecure version of the JRE or
not get Dreamweaver updates but be secure with the latest JRE manually installed. My university security people will not tolerate the former
I don't understand why Adobe does not put the latest JRE's as part of their standard updates. Moreover, why put them in the Adobe installations at all--which is causing this security problem of older insecure JRE's--and instead use the main Java installation on the user's machine (and if absent, require users to install Java), if Java is really needed.

Changing graph type, color change

Why when I change the type of graph it changes the colors automatically. I had blue, green, red (in the 3d fills) for a bar graph respectively representing 2009,2010,2011. I am adding this year I wanted to switch to a line graph - why are the colors changing auto to add a yellow and making 2012 red? How can I stop this? I find it quite difficult to change the colors of all the lines/symbols using the 3D fills, actually it doesn't work very well @ all, so I would prefer not to have to do this for 10 graphs per client @ 5 clients. Is there a more efficient way to accomplish this?
Also brings me to my next question. I was attempting to use the copy style, paste style function with the graphs - to ease the pain of all of this. When I do that it only pastes the axis scale (exactly what I don't want copied)! Is there a way to c&p the STYLE...the colors, weight, and data symbols of the lines. Therefore if I must do all the color change manually I would only have to do it once?
Thanks so much.

Here's an example, using a Line Graph.
The first graph uses the full table, which has a column for each year, and extends to 2017, using 'placeholder data.'
For the second, all of the data, and the header labels (year) was deleted from the table.
Not good for presentation (nor was the table with all those empty cells), so columns E (2012) to J were selected and Hidden.
When data became available for 2012 (ie. about 10 or 11 months from now), the hidden columns were Unhidden, the label and data were entered into column E (2012), and columns F - J were again Hidden.
I haven't tried this with bar graphs yet. A closer look at the structure of your data and a screen shot of a sample bar graph would be useful in avoiding a 40 day trek through the wilderness.

Barry

Serious problem n71 scratches

Has there been any official stand from nokia regarding the scratching of the n71 display?, i mean any solution offered to this incredibly serious design flaw, apart from the protecting plastic on e-bay? was that the solution offered by nokia? if so i believe it's a complete mockery and no one should ever buy nokia again!!!

Just an update:
I finally found out that the problem is caused by accidentally pressing the "call" button on the AD-41 music headset (unfortunately, this button cannot be locked using the lock switch...).
What is EXTREMELY disappointing, though, is that when it happens that I accidentally press this button, if I am talking or if I am at a crowded place (bus etc)where there is noise, talks etc, a call will certainly be registered (although I am pretty sure no one in the bus is pronouncing names from my contact list!). The micro is too sensitive or something, and the phone "chooses" (randomly I think...) to call one of the contacts... I have even tried saying irrelevant things and, still, always someone is called!
Is there a way to disable voice dialing altogether?
Thanks!

Graph of Multiple Numeric Result displaying measurements and upper and lower limits

Is there a way with your graph control to show all the measured values against upper and lower limits in the same graph?. I can display individual lines, but would like to show all the data on the one graph. The woefully cryptic help files you provide with the graph control in TestStand seriously needs attention (Give examples!) also axis labelling, how is that achieved?

Hey Brian,
I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting to see with the data plotted on the graph--would it be possible for you to show us an example, even if it's just a drawn mockup of what the graph would look like? I'd like to look into it a bit and confirm that there is not a way to display the data.
Also, could you provide a bit of detail about the problems you've run into with using external languages with the ATML and XML reports? I'd like to understand that issue a bit better as well to determine how we could address it.
One thing you might be interested in is that we can currently embed images in the report by inserting HTML code linking to the image. I've seen cases where a LabVIEW VI plotted some data onto a custom graph, saved a picture of the control, and linked the image into the report. Here is a KnowledgeBase article which describes how the linking process works: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D98A271E30431C9D86256C230079843A?OpenDocument
I'll look forward to your reply about what you're hoping to see, and perhaps we can think of the best way to accomplish it with the reporting mechanism in TestStand. As Chiara mentioned, if there are features you would like to see that are not currently possible with our reports, the Idea Exchange will be a great place to post that.
Thanks!

Identified a design flaw in the iPhone

i was on the iPhone speakerphone with my parents and suddenly this mentally troubled girl i know sends me a message consisting of a single 3 letter expletive. i get the popup saying reply/cancel i press cancel.
she sends it again - i cancel it again. and again and again on like 4th time i accidentally end the call with my parents.
so i am trying to call them back but at this point she starts repeating the word every second or so so i am constantly getting the popup reply/cancel so i keep pressing cancel but before the screen cancels the new popup is there and the transparent glass popup takes the entire screen so i can't access the phone buttons to call my parents back.
now my parents are calling me and i am trying to pick up the phone but the crazy girl is still firing away at about 40 messages per minute.
long story short i was unable to either pick up on my parents or call them back until she stopped about 2 minutes later.
it was VERY frustrating ! ! !
this is unacceptable. i cannot lose control of my cell phone the second somebody starts texting me !
the interface must be redesigned such that the reply/cancel popup doesn't block the rest of the screen. instead it should appear as a bar on top or bottom of the screen and the rest of the screen should compress a bit so u can still go about your business while the crazy people are having a breakdown.
what if i was in a car using iphone as a GPS ? i might have gotten killed.
serious serious flaw !

Read between the lines, people. You're missing the point: the Text Message Popup Window interferes with normal operation of an application that is in use. IE: GPS mapping software....which is probably most useful while driving, no? The OP's point was that if he was trying to use some kind of GPS MAPPING while driving, the text message popups will get in the way of that use. The app still works, yes, but it's more, unnecessary buttons to push...
I agree that at times the Text Popup can be problematic and a less intrusive alert window should be considered. I wouldn't call it a serious design flaw, though. It's just Apple not fully considering usability under certain conditions.
