Slightly Off Topic: Toshiba join Dell and Apple to recall the Battery

For someone who feel bad about apple recall battery program (affected only for certain G4 iBook and or G4 Powerbook ~ not MacBook or MacBook Pro), this link might make you fell better that we are not the only one (or two ~ Dell recall it first).

Peace Out.

mailbfr uses rsync and thus adds only changes after the first backup. So it's a good idea to use different directories once a week.
Your cron job looks ok (you used the syntax I gave you to get it, right?) and mailbfr doesn't care whether it's run interactively or not.
What do your logs tell you? Cron output gets send to "root" on your system. If you haven't done so, add an alias so that mail for "root" comes to your mailbox.
Does cron per se actually run? Check /system/library/launchdaemons/com.vix.cron.plist

  • Slightly off topic - ATI test demos

    Hi,
    Slightly off topic question but...
    Many years ago a friend of mine (albeit a PC user) showed me a graphics card render demo which was a take on the Lobby Scene from The Matrix, designed to show of his (then) high powered graphics card (this was about 8 years ago)
    I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that had these ATI graphics card rendering demos that would show off the power of the ATI X1900 card - I don't mean the .mov and .avi pre-rendered demo videos that are on ATi's site - I've already checked and the only ones they have are the ones for the older x800, what I'm after are things that are more like applications you run that render the video live. (ATI/AMD do have some but they are very old - when SmartShader 2.0 was released)
    Anyone know? or alternatively, any other rendering apps that can show of my 512mb's of graphics card-age?
    This is purely for entertainment...
    Many thanks!
    Regards,
    Ben
    I hope this makes sense!

    Usually push connectors for bare wires are designed for less or up to 200 circles ....
    Depending on the number of test performed, mounting time, ... I would ask the push button manufacturers for test fixture connectors . Take the linecard of some distributors (digikey, RS ... ) to find them.
    Might not be the cheapest solution on the first run, but for daily use good connectors are always worth the money.

  • Slightly off topic: JDev + 10g + recommended laptop

    Hi gang
    This is a slightly off-topic post in the forum. Apologies to the forum moderators up front.
    I'm in the process of purchasing a new laptop for development. Among other things I need to run Oracle 10g, + JDev + Solitaire.
    My assumption for such a laptop is I'll need a fast hd (7200rpm+) for builds, and lots of memory to run Oracle 10g and memory hogging Java JDev. Also extra screen real-estate would be ideal with the multi-pane JDev.
    However without the ability to walk into a laptop supplier, load up the software and do some tests, I'm not sure what would be sufficient. I don't want to go overboard on features in order to save $s, but I don't want something that wont run fast enough without bugging the Hell out of me either.
    Does anybody have any recommendations on what laptop they are currently running or what they would buy to run Oracle 10g + JDev? Are my assumptions correct or does anybody run this config with less, happily?
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers,
    CM.

    I have been doing all of my jdev + oracle development exclusively on my PowerBook G4 for over a year now. JDev 9.0.5.2 runs great, and so does the new 10.1.3 preview. I have upgraded the memory on it to 1.5 GB, but even with the stock 512 it ran well. Plus, there are all of the productivity benefits from running Mac OS X. I was skeptical about it at first, as you might be, but once I switched over, I haven't even looked back. The 17 inch screen is beautiful, it works just fine on the Windows network at work, has all of the Unix tools underneath, and for the very few times a windows machine is needed, Virtual PC helps out. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

  • Slightly off topic: Read-only tables pre 11g

    Hi gang
    I'm just writing up a database quiz for a local user group and I was hoping I could get a bit of inspiration from the database experts.
    One of the questions will be "prior to 11g with the introduction of read-only tables, how could you make a table read-only?". The answers I've come up with:
    1) Security priviliges (schema + grant SELECT)
    2) Triggers
    3) Create a check constraint with disable validate
    4) Read-only tablespace
    5) Read-only database (standby)
    6) (Slightly crazy) Create view, and instead-of triggers that do nothing (similar to 2)
    7) Write the query results on a piece of paper and then turn the database off
    Anybody have any other answers, real or slightly off topic like mine please? ;)
    Cheers,
    CM.

    Check constraint and trigger solutions may have problems with sqlldr direct path operations, so using it together with alter table disable lock may be mandatory depending on the needs. Especially if DDLs are also wanted to be avoided.

  • I will soon be purchasing a new PC running Windows 7. I need to know how to migrate my iTunes Library and apple devices to the PC. Is there a previously published support document on this topic? Thank You.

    I will soon be purchasing a new PC running Windows 7. I need to know how to migrate my iTunes Library and apple devices to the PC. Is there a previously published support document on this topic? Thank You.

    Connect a blank powered external drive to the PC.
    Right click on the Disk in the File manager and choose format: exFAT 
    (if it's a XP machine, first install exFAT from Microsoft and reboot)
    navigate to your user account folders on the PC and drag and drop copy (or copy and paste) to the external drive.
    (if a program has your files, then export them out first)
    Hook up the drive to the Mac, and transfer files to the desktop or to their same appropritate folders.
    Import photo's into iPhoto program, import music into iTunes etc and they will manage those files.
    You can continue to use the external exFAT drive between Mac's and PC's
    Do not format the drive NTFS or FAT, NTFS can't be written too by the Mac and FAT can't hold over 4GB sized files.
    If you format exFAT on the Mac, it likely won't work correctly on the  PC.
    "Migration" type programs are a utter waste of time and effort between PC's and Mac's for the fact that only certain files (and no programs or anything else) will work between them, also it's a hassle and takes too long. So don't even bother with it.

  • To import all songs on the CD, click Yes in the window that appears. iTunes starts importing the CD.---I am using a Dell and can't import the CD I need because the window doesn't automatically pop up.  How do I fix this?  Any thoughts?

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

  • Hi i forgot my sercurity questions and apple sent me the answers on a email that doesnt work any more so how can i change that and send it to another email

    i dont know my sercurity questions and apple sent me the ansers to a email that no longer works so how can i change it to the right wmail and get my answers.

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    Make sure to tell Apple Support to include an alternate email address for the iForgot email, other than your inactive one.  Then, log into appleid.apple.com, and change your primary and rescue email addresses to ones that you can actually access.

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

    You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
    Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

  • I have a ipod touch 8gb when i plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen but will not charge what could be wrong it was fine yesterday?

    I have a ipod touch 8gb . When I plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen what could be wrong?

    Maybe:
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).
