Simple but necessary question

I have noticed my computer fans running more so when the unit is hooked up to the internet WITHOUT any extra applications running (i.e. Safari)as when unpluged yet running with the same CPU demands.
In other words:
When I'm at work, (no internet hook up), and the computer is sitting idle but not asleep, the fans hardly kick in, yet, in the same situation, but at home HOOKED to Cable Net but still running idle, the fans kick in every once in a while.
Is this to be expected?

neuroanatomist
thank you again for the prompt answer.
As far as I can recall, I did the diagnostic you recommended with the activity monitor and nothing appeared too extensive.
I think I will attempt it again and hopefully, either find my answer, or ask for your advice again if negative.
Thank you

[Theory] A simple but hard question about OO programming

I was in my first class of OO programming (4th year of computer engineering in Valencia) and the professor gave us homework.
The homework was a simple question about OO programming (it is not about a specific language, though we are going to use Java in the practice sessions), we shall find an answer to it and discuss it in class the next day.
The question was:
"May classes also be objects?"
which can be said as:
"May classes be instances of an(other) classes?"
I hope that you, archers, can enlighten me in this question

tvale wrote:I believe an object is an instance of a class.
Yup, that's true. Let's see... An object is an instance of a class, so we can have a lot of objects coming from one class.
We can say an object is not a class because it has a state (think about a light, it has a state: on or off, but a class light is not on/off, because in a class we just describe the behavior that class should have.
But what we're asking here is if a class can have a state. I think it may refer to static properties about the objects.

Simple, but dumb, question

My wife wants to copy a cassette tape to her G4 laptop. Is GarageBand the right application to digitize an analog source? I looked at the Apple page on GarageBand and didn't see anything that helped.
Thanks.

You can use simpler programs than GB, but GB will do it:

Simple but elusive question

I have a master/detail form. Upon updating a row in the detail block, I need to update a table which is different from both the master and detail tables. so far the insert and delete operations are working fine (I use post_insert and post_delete), but the problem is when I try to do an update because the pre_update and post_update triggers deal with the new value for the updated row. How can I handle the situation where there is an old/new value?

The best way to handle something on a table where you need the old and the new-values would be a database-trigger. Also for reasons of data-consistency a database-trigger would be the better solution (its always executed, not just for dml coming form a specific forms-module).
If you still want to do it the forms-way there are two possibilities:
Use a POST-UPDATE-trigger and get the old-values via GET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK.ITEM', DATABASE_VALUE);
Use a PRE-UPDATE-trigger and read the data directly from the db-tables via a select.

Help with a simple but crazymaking question!

hi there, would anyone here mind looking at my test site and
telling me what I am doing wrong?
http://presentations.patrickmeyers.com/
I am VERY new at anything web related, and trying to learn
some Dreamweaver, html, and css. Basically I want ALL my content
(which for now is just images) to stay flush left with each other
no matter what the user does with their web browser window. But
when I expand my web broswer window, two of my images (one of which
is a rollover image that I need to add a hyperlink to) bump over to
the right and up. I don't want them to do that! I want them to stay
flush left at all times.
I also want to center everything so that no matter what a
person does with their browser, the page stays in the center of the
window (i.e. the Yahoo homepage) but all the content remains left
aligned relative to the top.
I've tried every concievable setting in Dreamweaver I can
think of and nothing works. The button and bottom banner still move
over to the right and up.
Any tips? Thank you in advance!!!!!
p

<p><img src="banner.jpg" width="792" height="336"
align="left" /><a href="#"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image3','','click-button-yellow.jpg',1)"><img
src="click-button-purple.jpg" name="Image3" width="180"
height="46"
hspace="16" vspace="15" border="0" align="left" id="Image3"
/></a></p>
<p><img src="lowerbanner.jpg" width="792"
height="41" vspace="30"
align="left" /></p>
</body>
You have two elements horizontally adjacent (the banner image
at 792px
width, and the anchor tag at 180px width). Their combined
width is
792+180+32px = 1004px (the 32px comes from the hspace="16"
attribute). When
the browser viewport is less than 972px wide, the anchor tag
and its
associated image will just drop below the banner image (since
they are
contained in a <p> that has no explicit width).
Change this -
<p><img src="banner.jpg" width="792" height="336"
align="left" /><a href="#"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image3','','click-button-yellow.jpg',1)"><img
src="click-button-purple.jpg" name="Image3" width="180"
height="46"
hspace="16" vspace="15" border="0" align="left" id="Image3"
/></a></p>
to this -
<p style="width:1004px;"><img src="banner.jpg"
width="792" height="336"
align="left" /><a href="#"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image3','','click-button-yellow.jpg',1)"><img
src="click-button-purple.jpg" name="Image3" width="180"
height="46"
hspace="16" vspace="15" border="0" align="left" id="Image3"
/></a></p>
and see what happens.

It depends on whether you are using absolute positioning on
the page, as to
which method might be best, but in either event, this will
work -
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { width:1004px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
/* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
window without */
/* horizontal scrollbars. 1004px is pretty wide, and will
display horizontal
scrollbars on 1024 screens.*/
</style>
</head>
change this -
<body
onload="MM_preloadImages('click-button-yellow.jpg')">
(the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be
mentioned in the
body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
to this -
<body
onload="MM_preloadImages('click-button-yellow.jpg')">
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Pretty simple but annoying question for newbie

when opening form is there a way to automatically display the
record rather than having to hit F8.
also....
is there a way to navigate through records using PL/SQL rather
than using the buttons on the tool bar at the top or form
runtime.
thanks in advance

This is probably in the wrong forum. ;)
Anyway, here's my suggestions for your two queries:
Q1) Add a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger containing the
following statement:
EXECUTE_QUERY ;
Q2) Use the up and down arrow keys - they navigate between the
previous and next records respectively.

Concatenate " Simple but tricky question "

Hey guys
How are u, this looked like easy problem. However, I tried so many things. I want to add a space in front of character. This is 2-character lengths field.
When I was executing this command, it is not adding up space.
If I am something wrong correct me
Here is the code
DATA: i type i ,ONE(1) VALUE ' ',FINAL(2) ,TWO(1).
i = sTRLEN( t_record-trfgr ). first it shows 1 for H
if i LE '1'.
concatenate TWO ONE '.' into final.
CLEAR:I.
i = sTRLEN( final ). its still say 1
Thanks

Saquib,
<b>Concatenate   '    '
                t_record-trfgr
         into
         final.</b>
Following should also work:
<b> Concatenate
         space
         t_record-trfgr
         into
         final.</b>
Thanks

Simple but drastic question...resizing windows

I normally work with a Macbook connected to a 23" Cine display. Pulled the Macbook off the display, opened Photoshop, and the bottom of all the action panels (actions, layers, channels, etc...) are below the lower edge of the screen and there appears to be no way to recover them.
The program is essentially useless until I can get connected to a big display, simply to click on the bottom of these panels.
What's the secret to resizing these?

This is in the System Preferences of the Mac in OSX Snow Leopard and above (perhaps previous versions as well)

Simple but frustrating question

When I pressed f6, it used to create a keyframe duplicate of
the most recent keyframe on that layer. For some reason, today I
got on and f6 is making blank keyframes! even when I go to
modify>timeline>convert to keyframes --- still blank! What
happened and how do I fix it?

Flash will create a blank keyframe if there is nothing on the
layer where you are creating the keyframe (i.e. You press F6 when
you have a 'white' frame selected).
If you press F6 on a frame that is shaded grey (a frame that
has content), the content of the frame where you have inserted a
keyframe does not change, it simply converts the frame to a
keyframe. I hope that makes sense - and that it is helpful.

Simple, funny but annoying question, putting a pixel

Maybe this could be simple, funny but annoying question.
How do you put a pixel or draw a pixel?
Is there a method to draw a pixel directly on screen in j2SDK API?

This is a very open ended question, do you want to draw a pixel in an image or just draw a shape on the screen?
If you want to edit single pixels at a time then the best option is to create a BufferedImage and use the WritableRaster to edit the pixels you want by using setPixel().
Something like the following:
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
WritableRaster raster = img.getRaseter();
raster.setPixel(x_coord, y_coord, new int[]{R_val, G_val, B_val});This image can then be displayed by putting it in a JLabel (there are many other techniques but I find this the easiest method).
JLabel l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img));
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.setContentPane(l);
jf.pack();Alternatively, you can draw shapes by using Graphics or Graphics2D objects
e.g.
public class MyPanel extends JPanel
public void paintComponent(Graphics2D g)
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
}Hope this helps,
Stef

Every time i get on my computer and click on imessage and facetime a little box pops up saying an internal messages error occurred or an internal facetime error occurred....but my question is how do i get it to stop doing this or how to stop it

every time i get on my computer and click on imessage and facetime a little box pops up saying an internal messages error occurred or an internal facetime error occurred....but my question is how do i get it to stop doing this or how to stop it.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Simple Crop tool question... how do I save the crop section?

Hi,
I have a very simple crop tool question. I'm a photoshop girl usually... so Illustrator is new to me. When I select the crop section I want... how do I save it?... if I select another tool in the tool panel, the crop section disappears and I can't get it back when I re-select Crop tool. If I select Save as... it saves the whole document...and not just my crop section.
Like I said, simple question...but I just don't know the secret to the Illustrator crop tool.
Thanks!

A Simpler, More Direct Question About Merge Joins

This thread is related to Merge Joins Should Be Faster and Merge Join but asks a simpler, more direct question:
Why does merge sort join choose to sort data that is already sorted? Here are some Explain query plans to illustrate my point.
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT * FROM spoTriples ORDER BY s;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |              |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
|   1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that the plan does not involve a SORT operation. This is because spoTriples is an Index-Organized Table on the primary key index of (s,p,o), which contains all of the columns in the table. This means the table is already sorted on s, which is the column in the ORDER BY clause. The optimizer is taking advantage of the fact that the table is already sorted, which it should.
Now look at this plan:
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT /*+ USE_MERGE(t1 t2) */ t1.s, t2.s
3 FROM spoTriples t1, spoTriples t2
4 WHERE t1.s = t2.s;
Explained.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT       |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   1 | MERGE JOIN            |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   2 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   3 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
|* 4 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   5 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   4 - access("T1"."S"="T2"."S")
       filter("T1"."S"="T2"."S")I'm doing a self join on the column by which the table is sorted. I'm using a hint to force a merge join, but despite the data already being sorted, the optimizer insists on sorting each instance of spoTriples before doing the merge join. The sort should be unnecessary for the same reason that it is unnecessary in the case with the ORDER BY above.
Is there anyway to make Oracle be aware of and take advantage of the fact that it doesn't have to sort this data before merge joining it?

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
