Simple USB question

Sorry if this has already been asked. I searched and can't
find the answer. I am running JDS on my laptop. I would
like to read a file off of the USB menory stick. How do I
do this?
Thanks,
Dale

To my experience some of the USB memory stick work out of the box.
I just plug the USB memory stick, and wait until I hear a beep.
Then I right click with my mouse over the desktop and check the sda1 on the disk menu.
I also use this menu to mount and unmount smb shares from server on my office (after editing /etc/fstab with the entries needed)

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!
Colin

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

Simple query question

hi all,
I have a XMLType table with one column - I have presently one row, in my column xmlsitedata I have stored one large xml file.The schema definition is given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Simple USB display question

I feel incredibly computer illiterate posting this question but I need some help so here it is. I connected my 23 inch display to my Mac book and everything is working pretty well. But I am running out of USB ports and I'm wondering how I can better use the ports that are on the display.
I use Skype a great deal for conversation and I haven't been able to get it recognized -- any thoughts?
I've also tried use my printer USB through the monitor ports but no luck either. Does anyone have a step-by-step instruction on how to use the mini DVI adapter correctly with Mac book? I get confused with the symbols as well.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Do you have the display's USB cable plugged into the computer?

Simple USB Port Question

When I use the USB port on my Apple keyboard, I'm finding file transfers are much slower compared to when I use the ports on my Mac Pro. Is this normal? If so, why?
They're all USB 2.0, correct?
Is it because the keyboard USB port is on a hub?

I don't think all the keyboards supported USB 2.0, I use a bluetooth keyboard but my old wired Apple keyboard shows only USB 1.1 speeds. You can use the System Profiler (in the Utilities folder) to see if the Keyboard hub supports USB 2.0 speeds.

Simple Report Question

I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report. My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"
sub reports so the user only has to see the data they
really want at the moment. Gives the report a nice clean look too.

A simple security question

I'm trying to write a simple self-signed applet that use a jca provider but thi exception "java.security.SecurityPermission putProviderProperty.BC" is thrown. if I use a policy file, it works fine but for a beginner user is not very useful intall a new policy file.
After this I tried to write a new self-signed applet that read a file and open a ServerSocket on port 21, and it work fine without a new policy file!
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????
PS
if u have an idea to resolve my problem without a policy file, tell me pls!!! IT'S URGENT!!

An applet works out of a so-called sandbox. The security restrictions can be overcome in one of two ways that you have tried:
1) by the use of a policy file, or
2) by signing the applet
So, to answer your question:
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????Since the applet is signed, there is no need for a policy file......if you tried to access the socket without signing the applet, you'll get the security exception!

A somewhat simple security question......

If a mac running macosx has two separate user accounts, lets say one admin and the other a standard user, or both admins or both standard users.....
Is it possible for a hacked/penetrated account on one of the users to affect or read any info from the other user on the same machine ?
What application is in question; Safari lets say.....

No java, No javascript, No plugins like flash, java, shockwave, quicktime, or adobe crap.
So, no functionality. What about that java applet I need to run 10 hours a day. Do you think I should go out of business over it? Or all my QT movies? Or, deprive myself of Flash, so I can't view the content of websites?
So, lets say you browse www.thissiteisinfected.com and have everything uninstalled (see above), and your smart enough to browse the web using a "STANDARD" user account and not the "ADMIN" user account.
Running from a standard user buys you nothing and adds additional steps. If you want to download an app, before you install, you will get a dialog warn you "XXXX is an application you downloaded from the internet..." So, you still have to authenticate. And what about *all the apps that need no authentication to install?*
You tell me how this website will inject crap into your MAC with the settings above???
There is no way to FORCE CODE into your browser if everything is disabled.
Tell me how it can "inject crap" into my "Mac" admin without my complicity.
I have bumped into a rouge antivirus website while on my macbook using safari.
All of a sudden a popup stated i had spyware, i could'nt close the box/window, I had to do a FORCE QUIT on SAFARI to get out of that page. It pretty much hijacked SAFARI.
This is nothing that can harm you. It is annoying having to force quit over it, but that is all.
My safari download settings place things on my desktop, sure enuff, there was a .EXE file sitting on my macbooks desktop.
Sure enough, your Mac can't do a thing with it.
NOTHING IS BULLETPROOF.
I agree but there are simpler ways to plant a rootkit you overlook, that have nothing to do admin accounts or ports. *The question is, who would want to?* Even if a black hat is randomly hunting for bank account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc. he would pass up a UNIX based system with good protections in place for an easier target.
In short, in a home environment, I could never recommend running from a standard user. Especially if they are on a router and/or using OS X firewall. (The exception being if you have kids and want to use parental controls.) I have no idea how this mantra about using a non-admin account started, there is no place where Apple recommends this.

Simple Query Question - How do I return the Last 3 records of a Table?

Question.
For example, I have a table that has 50 records.
How do I, specify in SQL to only return the last 3 records of the table.
Select a.* from table a where ????

I was just trying to show an example to a friend on
how something like this would work and if it was even possible. But it won't work. Here's a simple example:
SQL> create table emp
2 (id)
3 as
4 select object_id
5 from   all_objects
6 order by object_id;
Table created.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
     40830      55891
     40831      55892
     40832      55893So far, so good. These are the "last 3" rows inserted. Now delete a bunch of rows and insert 3 new ones:
SQL> delete emp where id < 40000;
33423 rows deleted.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into emp values (60000);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60001);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60002);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
      7410      55891
      7411      55892
      7412      55893Here's the problem. Even though the "last 3 rows" are 60000 - 60002, I still get the same ones as the first query.

New to Mac (Lion USB Questions)

Ok, so I'm completely new to Macs, unless you consider a Mac 2 way back in the day (booted the os to ram from 2 or 3 floppy discs). I recently bought a macbook pro off of ebay that needed a little repair, but works non-the-less. I borrowed a Leapard CD from a friend and installed it. I updated everything as much as I could, and just used it here and there for the past month maybe, just getting use to the interface. The LCD is somewhat messed up, so I haven't used it as a daily device at all. So I logged into iTunes on it for the first time just 2-3 days ago, and apparently there is a security flaw, and my account got hacked and an attempted charge of gift cards to give to some other account were charged to paypal. Luckily, paypal saw the multiple charges for the same thing in less then a minute and automatically put them into dispute (I wasn't charged).
The actual fraud at this point isn't the issue, because I've changed the passwords and security questions for everything attached to iTunes (paypal, email, apple id), so all is secure on that front, and paypal is clearing up the charges as I type this out. The issue is that it happened in the first place. I'm guessing because it's an older version of the OS, it was a security flaw that is known about (since there is a 70 page post somewhere about similar instances), and I'm guessing it's fixed in Lion.
If it is, then I'm wanting to upgrade to Lion and be done with it. I just don't feel safe installing from the app store from an OS that is known to have had an account stolen on it. So, I'd like to install from scratch. I'm planning on installing from the thumbdrive via a physical store location (to impatient to order online at this point ). I'm mainly wanting to know, if I install from the USB device, can I do a full and complete system wipe and still install it from the USB drive without having to install an older OS first, like you do if you install it from the app store?
O-o maybe I should have only asked the questions in the last paragraph, but meh... I'm still furious about my account being stolen in the first month or so on mac os, when I've been using windows for over a decade (on the internet even) and have had no fraud what so ever... At this point, I'm going to just say it's the older OS, and get the newest one, and see. I just want to make sure I don't waste $70 getting the thumbdrive just to have to get Snow leapard to install it. I really don't trust the os I currently have installed, and would like to start from complete scratch.

"I'm mainly wanting to know, if I install from the USB device, can I do a full and complete system wipe and still install it from the USB drive without having to install an older OS first,"
Yes, you can do a clean install from the flash drive. You can only upgrade from Snow Leopard with the flash drive.
I cannot answer your questions about fraud. We don't know the specifics of what happened to you nor whether this was the result of a security flaw in the OS or elsewhere or simply a failure on your part to maintain the security of your data.
