Siri is confusing yes and no.

I have a friend whose name is "Yes."  This may be where the trouble began.
Whenever I asked Siri an unclear question - Call such and such, Add to x list, etc - when Siri would respond with a command needing confirmation - Did you mean such and such, or Do you want me to add so and so to such and list - when Siri wants a yes or no, effectively, it doesn't process them correctly.
If I answer Yes, it says, did you mean Yes So and So, and tries to call my friend Yes.  Ridiculous.
So I say, sorry yes, I'll just have to look up your number some other way (or maybe I should just start saying "That's correct.") - and I delete Yes's contact.
It finds the contact in my Skype account and asks for that.
OK - let's try no and see if this is some larger deal.
"Siri, call Little Mandarin in San Rafael"  - "Did you mean 'Little Arrows'"  (My daughters old school, in a different town. This always happened - this isn't the weird part.)
"No" - "Which number for Little Arrows"
OK, so clearly Siri has lost yes/no functionality.
What do I do?

Robert,
Give this a try :
* Create a test html page
* Include the Javascript function from [http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-14.html|http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-14.html]
* Create pairs of checkboxes using the html below :
<pre>Yes<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" name="cbox_yes_1" onchange="CheckBoxesByName('cbox_no_1',2)">
No<input type="checkbox" name="cbox_no_1" onchange="CheckBoxesByName('cbox_yes_1',2)"></pre>
You can create additional pairs by changing cbox_yes_1 to cbox_yes_2 and cbox_no_1 to cbox_no_2 etc
In this example the Yes boxes are ticked by default. Whenever they change the No boxes are toggled. Whenever the No boxes change the Yes boxes are toggled.
Here is an example page :

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • FORCE_LOGGING=YES and Unrecoverable option of SQL LOADER

    Hi All,
    I have small query regarding FORCE_LOGGING=YES and Unrecoverable option of SQL Loader.
    We have our Database set with FORCE_LOGGING=YES option.
    We have huge amount of transaction happen using SQL Loader. For the SQL Loader we have set the option direct=true and unrecoverable.
    The Unrecoverable option won't generate the redo logs while loading, but as we have FORCE_LOGGING=YES.
    Whice option will take effect? Will it still generate redo logs?
    Thanks for your help,
    Manoj

    Yes - it will still generate redo. Like I wrote, setting FORCE_LOGGING = TRUE for the database utterly guarantees there will be no nologging operations.
    In fact, only direct path inserts have the option of being nologging in the first place. Non direct path (aka conventional) inserts always generate redo anyway.
    There is a lot of confusion around this area of Oracle, and I don't think it's documented as well as it could be. If you're still a little unsure, asktom.oracle.com is an excellent website where you can find further explanation (search for 'nologging').

  • How can I display True/False in my dropdownlist as "Yes" and "No"?

    Hi All,
    I want to bind a dropdownlist to a boolean value (so it's either true or false).  I'm particularly interested in using two-way binding to when the user changes from "yes" to "no" the boolean value automatically changes from "true" to "false."  But, I want the user to see "yes" and "no" as the options, rather than "true" and "false".
    How can I display "yes" and "no" and still take advantage of binding?  Or can I not use binding in this circumstance?
      -Josh

    Solution 1:
    In order to display Yes/No for True/False, you may specify labelFunction for the dropdownList.
    In MXML:
    <s:DropDownList labelFunction="myLabelFunction" />
    In actionscript:
    private var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(["true","false"]);
                private function mylabelFunction(item:Object):String
                    if(item.toString() == "true")
                        return "yes";
                    else return "No";
    OR
    Solution2:
    may be u can try making an array collection like
    private var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{label:"yes",value:"true"},{label:"no",value:"false"}]);
    and specify labelField for the dropdownList like
    <s:DropDownList labelField="label" dataProvider="{arr}" />

    Have you tried signing out of your Apple ID, restart the iPad and then start all over again?
    Go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Then go back to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in again. Then go to Settings>FaceTime>On. See if it will stay turned on and it it does, sign in and setup.

  • As a stockholder, I would like see the development of iTV with Retina display and integrating Siri control, internet access, and iTunes apps. This new product would be a large screen, thin wall mounted television, much like a oversided iPad.

    Do you think this product is possible?

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • When I click on my browser it asks me if I want to allow program (x86)mozillafirefox/firefox.exe. I say yes and it says error- there was a problem Seems like a virtual loop.

    When I Open Mozilla browser it pops up with Do you want to allow program: (x86) mozillafirefox/firefox/exe. I say yes and it pulls up the internet but says there was a problem. Happens everytime i open Mozilla. I've rebooted, opened in safe mode/
    Nothing makes it go away.

    This is a brand new installation of Firefox? I don't know whether there is a troubleshooting article on this scenario.
    Can you start up in Firefox's [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]? Hold the Shift key when double-clicking the Firefox program icon to start up in safe mode. You can ignore the checkboxes and just Continue in Safe Mode.

  • Have had to re-download Mozilla due to malware - final step of installation asks if I will allow unknown publisher to make changes to computer - click YES and get message my computer is infected with malware - click NO and cannot open Mozilla

    Long story short, unwisely allowed unknown publisher to make changes to my computer (which I thought was related to my anti-virus protection) last night. In the process, seems I allowed malware (called antivirus8). Neither Explorer or Mozilla were available - seemed to have been wiped out by antivirus8 thing. Explorer came back up (with favorites still intact) after doing full scans and a few other things...but Mozilla did not. Uninstalled Mozilla and re-downloaded. Final step of installation asked if I wanted to allow an unknown publisher (and I'm sorry to say I don't remember exactly what it was...something with safe in the name, I think) to make changes to my computer. Clicked NO and still not able to access Mozilla...redid and clicked YES and immediately got message that my computer was infected with malware. Have used Mozilla for years...hate just having Explorer. Anti-virus program is Kaspersky...ran full scan and it did not detect a thing...so I really don't know what happened!

    Try running several malware scanners to see if Kaspersky missed anything. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]

    * [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]

  • Business Intelligence How to Calculate average of survey in a Deploy Cube to Display The Some of Yes and NO.

    I have created  and deploy this cube but needed to know how I can show the average of the survey result.
    Where I need to calculate the number of 'yes' and 'no' or even if possible "no answers" of every distinct survey question. My most Significant table is the" valuefield" who is  part of the fact table and has "yes" and "no"
    or null info. Am using MS Visual Studio and SQL SERVER Just a sample of 10 survey questions.
    ANY GEEK OUT THERE?

    Hi G33km,
    According to your description, you want to calculate the numbers of survey which is "YES" or "NO", right? In this case, create a calculated measure, in that measure using
    Filter function to return the set that results from filtering a specified set based on a search condition (in your scenario is that survey is "YES" or "NO"). And then use the
    Count function to return the numbers of survey.
    Besides, here is a blog about Optimizing Count(Filter(...)) expressions in MDX, please see:
    Optimizing Count(Filter(...)) expressions in MDX
    Hope this helps.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    If you have your iPad connected to the charger it could be the new "Hey Siri" feature that allows you to use Siri without pressing the home button. Do you have a radio on or are people talking ? Go to settings> general> Siri> Allow"Hey Siri"> off.
