Simple Set of Characters will Crash Many Mtn. Lion Apps

Apparently typing a few selected characters quickly within many apps in a Mountain Lion system will immediately crash those apps. It sounds like an urban myth but it's not. This is just an FYI. Until this is fixed, the worst that might happen is to receive an email message or imessage that contains those characters. One of the comments posted to the second Web page below indicates that doing that will crash Mail or Messages on a Mountain Lion system.
Here's a good description:

Also read the comments posted at the bottom of this page--they have the most useful information:

Strangely hilarious.

Creating a set of characters

This seems simple, but it is really bothering me because it is not working. How do I make a simple set of characters. For example: I would like to make a set called "operators" and i would like it to include '-', '+', '*', '%', etc. I will also have a set of "digits" which would be '0' - '9'.
That way, when analyzing a string, I will be able to pick apart each character and figure out which set it belongs to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something like this might do it (if I'm reading your question correctly)
class CharacterSet
public static void main(String args[])
    String operators = "%+-*/";
    String numbers = "0123456789";
    String letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    String capitals = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    String test = "A+ 4 u";
    for(int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++)
      if(operators.indexOf(test.charAt(i)) > -1) System.out.println("operator");
      else if(numbers.indexOf(test.charAt(i)) > -1) System.out.println("number");
      else if(letters.indexOf(test.charAt(i)) > -1) System.out.println("letter");
      else if(capitals.indexOf(test.charAt(i)) > -1) System.out.println("capital");
    System.exit(0);
}

Well first, I must say "Yikes!!!"   I didn't know anyone still used Word Perfect.   That's an old school word processor right there... haha.
Okay, in all seriousnous, when saving your files in Word Perfect, use the Save As feature, and select a different format.   Word Perfect's format is likely not going to be opened by any of the popular word processing software.   I would try saving the document as RTF (rich text format), which is a universal standard across word processors.   This way, you can open the document on your Mac, or any other machine.
Now, I'm also assuming that you have a word processor installed on your Mac.   Right?   Maybe Word? Maybe Pages?   If you don't have a word processor, you'll need to get one.   If you don't want to spend the $10 on Pages, consider downloading Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/download/).   This will give you a free word processor that you can use on your Mac.

Since upgrading to Firefox 6 my computer has gone from staying up until yearly power failures to crashing many times a day.

VERY strange. I upgraded to 6 when it came out and it took me quite a few days later to figure out WHY I went from no crashes to nvidia driver crashes MANY times a day.
It was firefox 6.0.
I thought my nvidia drivers were out of date. They were one version behind so I upgraded. Crash.
I thought maybe some kernel interaction might be an issue so I compiled up the latest Linux 3.0.3 and re-installed the nvidia drivers.
Still crash. Took me a few more days to realize the only thing that changed on my system was Firefox. I usually upgrade without thinking.
I switched to Opera. Not a single crash in a week. So it is Firefox. I dug and dug and dug on google and found a remote reference to some acceleration added in 6. I disabled it. It still crashes. I have moved back to Firefox 5 and have run all day without a crash.
My computer at home runs about a dozen web sites, 2 X servers on separate consoles (one for standard browsing and all other functions and one for World of Warcraft gaming - I like to keep them separate), FTP, TeamSpeak server ver 2 & 3, NFS for terrabytes of media files, lets just say many things. Firefox 6 killed me.
What more info do you need. Sorry I pasted ver 5 Troubleshooting Info, but I need a special request before I run anything greater than 6 on this system again. I will do it if needed but I will need a reboot to prevent all these kernel/video driver crashes.
ONLY when I run Firefox 6. After some small usage (while watching xine videos or web browsing youtube, playing WoW, or who knows what) the screen FLASHES and I know a freeze is eminent. If I can get one last xterm up I can dmesg and see these messages or if I log in with my android phone via SSH. I still have control of the system just no display. I can reboot there or Alt-Sysrq Sync, Unmount, Boot to restart my system many times a day.

That is probably rather unlikely. The updates are released ''throttled'' initially to a portion of users so that any major problems will be picked up before everyone gets it.
It is also run through a staged procedure releasing as six weeks each in Nightly -> Aurora -> Beta versions. Although some code change will occur in that process. The Releases also must also pass automated testing.
Once the Release happens then we can look for problems showing up from: the crash reporter, the input feedback, telemetry,and comments on this forum.
Problems do and always will get through but it is unlikely a problems causing Firefox not to start would go unnoticed unless it only affected a vanishingly small proportion of users (nearly 1/2 Billion total),and then it would possibly be because of specific hardware or interactions with other software.

Presumably you installed the conduit plugin deliberately and like it. A simple web search suggests many users may be unhappy with that software. Search

No Recording Storage URl is Set. Session will not be recorded

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to run the recording example, but once I hit the record button I got this error:

I tried the "lccs_10_3Beta.swc", but with no luck, I read many threads, but I got confused. Also I wrote to Julien Levadoux to become a beta participant, but he told me that service is open for a public now.
Please give me any tips to help me run the recording app.
You help is highly appreciated
Suha

Shold be as simple as:
1) Make sure your Mac is visible to the outside world/externally so Adobe's servers can send the .zip files to your Mac.
* might want to make sure you are not exposed to hackers, so lock down your system maybe to Adobe's IP/hosts ( a bit more info: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/868922 )
2) Setup your webDAV repo
3) "Register the endpoint" says to look at documentation that doesn't exist yet... but you have to run the one command to "handshake" with Adobe. Should look something like this:
java -jar LCCSREPO.jar <account id> <user name of your account> <password for your account> --register-repository http://<user_name_to_your_webdav>:<password_to_your_webdav>@<full_url_to_your_mac>/webdav
4) Record a session. Since you'll use the username and pass from above command, you'l be able to record and receive the recorded session ( .zip ) in your webdav.
Hope that helps,
Alex G.

JDeveloper IDE simple setting problem

Hi,
Recently we switched to JDeveloper from Visual Cafe .I have a simple setting problem.How can I set the options so that IDE gives, the core java classes and packages,and our application classes and packeges, prompts in imports as well as in code.Where to set the options.
eg: when I write
import java. it should prompt all the pakages.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure I understand what you are requesting, but ...
You can configure JDeveloper projects to include various libraries by default.
This is done by selecting menu Tools | Default Project Properties.../ Libraries tab.
You should define a library for your classes.
You can import any of the packages / classes from all the libraries which your project includes.
It would be incorrect for a tool to automatically add a bunch of import lines at the top of every file because each file should import what it needs and just as importantly, not import what it does not need depending on the component type (e.g. a servlet should not include javax.swing.* ).
An easy way to import elements into JDeveloper is to type in something like:
import java.
// and then type in Ctrl Space
and this launches the package browser, you can select packages or classes to import.
You can also do this at the variable declaratiton point such as typing in:
foo() {
Frame x
// Press Control Alt Space
and this will correctly change the type (Frame) to the type you select in the package browser and add the import statement.

IMac crashes many times a day even after reinstall and lookupd fixes. Help?

Hi,
Two days after receiving my recertified iMac G5 rev. B 2gHz from Apple, I started experiencing the frequent freezes and crashes that have plagued so many others, mainly when I was on the Web, but not always. It has happened in nearly every application on my Mac, although I should mention that I have a DSL connection and I am always connected to it via Ethernet. I removed the 3rd party RAM, tried reseating the Apple RAM in the second RAM slot, spoke to four different reps on AppleChat, reset the SMU and PRAM, repaired permissions umpteen times, emptied caches, ran the Hardware Test multiple times (everything passed), etc. Finally I broke down and reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled 10.4.3, then installed Unlookupd. Sadly, nothing has stopped the crashes. On a good day, my iMac will crash only twice. Unplugging the Ethernet cable and trying to do a Force Quit never works; I always have to press the power button and do a hard restart. On a bad day, like today, my iMac will crash five or six times. I have noticed that the more time I spend in either Mail or a Web brower--any Web browser--the more crashes I have. I have tried Safari, Firefox, Opera, and even the old Internet Explorer, and the crashes happen in all of them.
I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Has anyone tracked down a solution or fix yet? Do I need to take my iMac in to the nearest Apple repair place for inspection?
Thanks so much for any advice.
Nancy

Note: I eventually ended up taking it to an Apple service provider, where they replaced both the logic board and the power supply. Problem solved.

Can PowerShell allow the key F9 to generate a set of characters anytime it is pressed ?

can a PowerShell scriot be installed that allows the key F9 to generate a set of characters anytime it is pressed ?

Hi Larry,
Do you mean it will display a set of characters in powershell form when the key F9 is pressed?
To create shorcut keys in powershell, and execute pre-existing operation when press the shortcut key, this module may be helpful for you:
http://pseventing.codeplex.com/releases/view/66587
And the samples below is for your reference:
import-module pseventingplus
# kill all jobs
register-hotkeyevent "ctrl+shift+j" -action { get-job | stop-job -verbose }
Refer to:
Use CTRL + D to exit and CTRL + L to cls in Powershell console

IMessage will crash upon launch.

My iMessage will crash upon launch. What happens is this,
- I tap the icon
- the standard iMessage screen pops up
- it sits there for a bit and then closes itself.
I was messing around with my friend and sending him MASSIVE emoticon messages (like 10,000 plus characters)
When I sent the (last) largest one, it was stuck on "sending". Then the app closed itself.
My theory:
The iPad tries loading the message, but runs out of RAM, therefore crashing.
What I have tried:
-restore to factory settings
-then restore from backup
-Tried iCloud and iTunes backup.
-sign in, then out of the app
-disabling the app
-downgrading firmware
-upgrading firmware
I might also add that when I sent this message, the same stuff started happening to his iPod touch 4th gen.
I am currently using an iPad (3rd gen Wi-Fi) on iOS 6.1.3. Model MD328LL/A. And primarily use a 2.5 mbps Wi-Fi connection.
I really hope someone can finally fix this, it has been persisting for 3 months now.

Really wishing someone could provide a tip at least.

How do I create a simple launcher VI that will end when the new VI is started?

I've just recently upgraded to Labview 7 and I'm writing a complex set of programs that are related, but do not need to be running simultaneously. I would like to write a simple launcher program that will load the appropriate VI and close itself after doing so. I understand how to call a subVI and have its front panel open upon execution, but I'd rather keep the VI's seperate.
Thanks for any help in advance.
-Warren

Try the attached example. Be careful though - if you make changes to this VI, make sure you save it before you run it, as it closes itself, and you will loose any unsaved changes...

When going to another page on a website firefox will crash completely without any error message.

I have tried the troubleshooting tips provided by Firefox but problem keeps coming up.
I mostly have trouble with the ilovehits.com website.
All the links on the site menu work fine except the "Start surfing"
link......When I click on that link Firefox will crash and I am returned to my desktop.
I have to activate Firefox again to browse.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

When I am in a chat on ichat, every few minutes ichat will crash, stating that there was no data transmission

When I am in a chat on ichat, every few minutes ichat will crash, claiming that no data was being transmitted for x-number of minutes...anyone know what to do about this.

Hi,
I doubt iChat is Crashing as Crashing is to Quit Unexpectedly rather than a Video or Audio Only chat coming to an abrupt end.
Also the Message is "NO Data received for 10 secs" not minutes.
Can you be specific about when in the chat the message appears ?
If it appears before you even manage to see the person at the other end it will most likely be a "protection" feature of your modem or router.
If you see and hear the other person for a while then it is likely your Internet connection is not that stable.
Try setting the Bandwidth setting in the iChat Menu >Preferences > Video section to 500kbps at both ends.

Replacing a set of characters from a string in oracle sql query

I want to replace a set of characters ( ~ ! @ # $ % ^ * / \ + : ; | < > ? _ ,) from a STRING in sql
select 'TESTING ! ABC 123 #'
FROM DUAL;
What is the best way to do it? Please provide examples also.

What is your expected output... The query I posted just removes them, it never replaces them with spaces..your string already has space.. if you want to remove space as well .. try this...
SELECT TRANSLATE ('TESTING ! ABC 123 #', '-~!@#$%^*/\+:;|<>?_, ', ' ') FROM DUAL;
Output:
--TESTINGABC123
Else post your expected output..
Cheers,
Manik.
