Sorry - very general question

I have been playing with flash for a while on a Mac but I
have been dissatisfied. It is a pre-intel version and 1) it is very
slow, 2) it does not support Soundforge, which I hear is quite
popular and easy to use. Anyway, I'd like to get a PC but I'm not
sure whether I need a standard computer or a suped up version with
lots of memory, graphics capability, etc. Basically the sites I've
seen have divided computers into those suitable for standard office
tasks and net surfing and those suited for "hard core gaming." I am
basically planning to use the computer just for flash animation and
sound clips. Is a standard PC (that exceeds Flash's minimum
requirements) going to do it for me? Sorry for the general
question. Thanks.

First of all, no need for the apology, there are no stupid
(or general) questions.
Second of all: sorry to all Mac fans, but PCs are the way to
go. After all, you get to choose what company makes your computer.
So you can get either the high-end model from HP or Gateway, or get
something a little more affordable from eMachines or Compaq. With
the Mac, you can only choose, well, a Mac.
While computer shopping, look for the following features:
(This is the BARE minimum of what your expectations should
be)
Windows XP Home Edition
AMD Athlon+ 2.1 GHz Processor
800x600x16-bit or better screen
32 MB Video RAM (For the occasional game here and there)
512+ MB System RAM
Sound Card, Speakers
If you get a computer with Windows Vista (which you probably
will), turn off the Vista visual styles, use Windows Standard.
(Flash has a BIG problem concerning Windows Vista visual styles,
which is the problem I'm having now...see first page of "Flash
General Discussions" for my post, please help! Thank you.)

  • RAID - a very general question concerning stability

    Hi everyone,
    I've read quite a bit about RAID and the various types of arrays one may set up. Most posts give the following info:
    ••• RAID 0, while fast, is risky because if one drive dies, everything is lost; good backup routines is essential in this scenario (unless it is only used for scratch disk purposes).
    ••• RAID 1, and other types of mirrored arrays, are safer because of the built-in duplication of the data on one or more disks.
    ••• Mirrored arrays, as a general rule, should not be used for backup purposes because, while they duplicate data, they don't replace good backup routines and are therefore susceptible to human error, fires, floods, theft, and general calamity.
    But there is one question which I cannot seem to find an answer to:
    As I understand it, the stability of any particular array depends on the stability of the disks used. I have used quite a lot of harddrives in my years but have never had a drive fail on me. Perhaps I've been lucky. Then again, I've never hooked drives up using RAID.
    My question is therefore:
    Using harddrives in any type of RAID setup, will that make them more prone to failure?
    Is it a matter of statistical risk? In other words, each drive has a certain, theoretical Mean Time Between Failure and the more drives you have the greater the theoretical MTBF.
    Or has it do to with the error handling of the hard-/software controller? I guess it is could be relevant whether you use Enterprise grade drives or not because those, as I understand it, skip errors more easily than non-Enterprise drives and leave the rebuilding of the broken bit up to the controller (of course this is not a RAID 0 scenario).
    Basically, do drives become more susceptible to errors because they've been hooked up in a RAID array?
    Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
    /pullman

    pullman,
    No, drives do not become more susceptible to failure as a result of being included in an array.
    I'm not sure I totally agree about mirrored arrays not being good for backup purposes. In this regard, one must make the distinction between using a RAID array to make a backup, versus using the array to store a backup. In the first case, the data is stored on the array and the built-in redundancy stands in place of a de facto backup strategy. In the second, the backup strategy includes the use of a RAIDed volume to further safeguard the already-redundant backup (which is made by other means).
    In other words, using an external mirrored RAID array to store ones backups seems to me to be an excellent solution. Plus, one can add additional drives to the array, to further increase the redundancy in the system. In a mirrored array, the risk of drive failure is removed from the equation.
    However, the risk of a software, or logical failure still remains. By this, I mean potential disk errors. I have suffered far more disk errors than I have actual drive failures. A mirrored RAID array only contains one logical volume, and this volume is just as susceptible to directory failure as any other. However, backup storage on a single mirrored RAID array is no different in this regard as storing it on a single, dedicated drive.
    So, we get back to the age-old question: Is a single backup enough? Well, it really comes down to the critical nature of the data being backed up.

  • VERY general question

    This is probably a DNS101 question for most of you, but my problem is this: 
    I have a computer on my (work) network, that has IP address name resolution working, but I can't seem to find a corresponding A (or ptr record) for it in any of my 3 DNS servers.  If I ping the computername, it comes back with a (resolved) IP address,
    but no reply.  I can RDP to the computer by computername or IP, so I'm guessing ICMP packets are being blocked to it, but my question is....HOW is the network finding the IP, if I can't find a DNS record for it?  I know you can alter the hosts file
    locally and resolve addresses, but I'm pretty sure that's not the answer, because there are no entries on my hosts file on my client.  Thanks in advance.

    AHA Robert!
    Sorry to all the ninjas who saw my question and thought "well, doy".  I came to all this late to the game, after the common usage of WINS and NetBIOS resolution.  This computer is in an industrial environment that uses NWlink over
    NetBIOS, so I'm pretty sure that was the answer.  This has been a good learning experience, thanks all for your kind help.

  • Signature printing (very general question)

    Okay not really an InDesign question, but I know a lot of you know more about printing than I do. I'm strictly on the design end of things:
    I always hear about 8-page and 16-page signatures, yet I know as long as my documents are in multiples of 4 I have no trouble getting them printed. What does the printer do when I send him a 76-page magazine? Is it more difficult to print than an 80-page one? I don't know that much about the actual printing though I'm planning to tour a printing plant next week. :-)
    Just curious.
    Thanks, Phyllis

    It's best to talk to the printer because it depends upon the press or presses he is using. It is the size of the press that determines the size of the signatures.
    The printer could print four 16 page signatures on one press and three 4 page signatures on another. He could print 80 pages and throw out the waste. He could move the job to a smaller press. His decisions will be based on time and cost. And that will depend upon the size of the press run, the stock, at any number of things. So back to the top, talk to the printer. (And bear in mind that not all printers are created equal. Some are set up for doing odd jobs, and short runs, some aren't.)

  • ... Very general questions

    Hi Everyone,
    I am a novice/intermediate web designer with experience in
    Dreamweaver, but none in Contribute. I have been given an
    assignment to build a website for a company, but they would like
    control over editing its main content.
    How do I define the area where they can edit? How do I give
    them the authority to do so? And what do they need to possess to
    edit? (they don't actually need to have contribute too, do they?)
    Thanks for all your help.
    Tara

    as a default contribute has 3 user roles for you to use:
    1.administrator
    2.Publisher
    3.Writer
    the administrator will be the one setting up the user roles
    and permissions
    like which page they can edit or who can edit thisparticular

  • Report Builder Question - OA AR Aging - and a general question

    I'm sure this is the wrong forum for this question, but I thought there might be someone here who might be using Oracle Applications and Report Builder who'd be kind enough to help me out.
    We've recently implemented Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I have to use report builder to change the Accounts Receiveable Aging (7 bucket) to a 5 bucket report. I've already made some changes to the seeded "ARXAGMW.rdf" report, but I'm not a big Oracle Reports guy. I've stumbled through making some changes in various other reports. But this one is just plain nasty! :)
    I was thinking that I could simply add buckets 6 & 7 to bucket 5, then just hide or delete the 6 & 7 buckets. But I'm not sure where to even start. Any help with this would GUARANTEE a Christmas or other holiday card this year! :)
    I really want to keep this simple as possible, so any help would be very....helpful. :)
    Oh, my general question is: Are there any resouces/books for Oracle Reports (Report Builder)? I feel so lost trying to modify existing reports, let alone creating new ones.
    Thanks again!
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    I am working on the 7-bucket aging report and i want to add a new field in data model.
    As the query is build dynamically, i have modified the function BUILD_CUSTOMER_SELECT to meet my requirements.

    i get the following error: ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns.

  • Camileo charging problem (solved) and a general question!

    Hi all!
    First of all, I was going to ask for help as to why the Camileo S10 was not charging (the orange light wasn't flashing), and I'd seen a few people with similar problems.
    The solution?
    Give the contacts on the battery a clean.
    The insulation sticker that comes on it must leave some kind of residue on it, and it's enough to prevent charging. Now it's flashing away happily :]
    So my general question was, is it possible/advisable to use the camera on the mains?
    Rather than constantly draining and charging the battery during long shoots, I'd prefer to just leave it plugged in!
    Thanks very much in advance!
    Paul

    Hi
    I think the battery handling is always the same no matter what product it is
    From time to time the battery should be recalibrated.
    This means that the battery should be discharged fully and after then you should charge it again until the battery would reach 100%
    I do this with all my batteries; mobile phone battery, digi cam battery and notebook battery.

  • Update on Bioinformatics WIKI, scripting challenges, and a general question

    I am waiting for my site to go on-line at Oak Ridge National Labs (USA, Tennessee).  Should be another week or so, maybe less.
    When that happens, you will see a veritable explosion of scripting challenges in my wiki (Emerging Technologies->Bioinformatics.)
    One general question in preparation for these challenges.
    There are a number of standard  bioinformatic programs that can be run interactively via the web at various sites, e.g. "BLAST" and "STRIDE". 
    Although these can also be run locally, this requires that you download large databases and keep them updated.
    So here's my question to the scripting experts:
    Are scripting languages powerful enough to submit queries to web pages and then use regex's to parse the html that is returned?
    Bill Mann has used PERL to do some of the required regex parsing, but there is a lot left to do, and, his stuff only works when a perl program is invoking a bioinformatic program locally, not interactively.
    If so, we all can do some beautiful stuff together , if anyone is interested ...

    ...my wiki on...
    There is by it's very nature no such thing as MY WIKI, except you run your own wiki project in an exclusive mode. Which were...well ... unusual.
    Are scripting languages powerful enough to submit queries to web pages and then use regex's to parse the html that is returned?
    Yes.

  • Some general questions about multi-threading

    Hey Everybody,
    I have a dilemma with a multi-threaded program that I have written.
    Well to be truthful I actually wrote the program with no consideration whatsoever for multithreading.
    As a result of this complete lack of concern I get a completely hung user interface.
    My program performs a lot of network communications over URL��s and also writes information from URL��s to disk. The combination of networking and I/O in my program and the fact that I have not built multi-threading into the program has lead to complete failure of the user interface. When I say complete failure I mean complete failure. If it were only button��s not responding then I wouldn��t be all that worried, however the entire drawing area of my programs ��Frame�� completely freezes. It��s cool if nothing is maximized or minimized over the frame but as soon as this happens my programs drawing area has a ��serious hang over!��.
    I have begun learning about threads, in principle they sound wicked however in practice they have proven to be a brain tease (oops �K.. honesty).
    The difficulty of threads should not be all that daunting to me, however I have a couple of very simple questions that I would love to have answered�K..anybody out there!!!!!!!!!
    This is the normal basic method of running a thread that I have been attempting to incorporate into my program:
    1). Extend the thread class,
    2). Override the run() method in the subclass (created from step 1),
    3). Create an instance of the subclass,
    4). Call the start() method on the instance (from step 3).
    I have read that every statement the thread will execute is contained within it��s run() method.
    Question 1). This being the case is it possible to have member variables or methods inside a class that extends thread? Please explain!
    Question 2). Can a class that extends thread contain a constructor? Please explain!
    Question 3). If a subclass of thread cannot contain a constructor as I assume to be the case then how can code executing within the newly spawned thread reference information from the object that spawned it?
    If anybody out there on the great net can answer even half of one of these questions I will be more than grateful. Thanks for your time, and rock on Java!

  • General Question re logical workflow (Multiple Products/Sales Teams)

    Currently we are upgrading from a highly customized CRM environment developed in CRM 4.0.  We are hoping to move to an out of the box solution with 2015.
    But I have a general question. We are a service company with different sales groups for each of our products.
    Currently we have customization for each service so a Sales person is assigned to a specific product for the customer.
    So my question is, how is this handled out of the box.  I am sure there are many many many companies in the same situation.
    So say 10 products with sales group for each product.
    Then a customer with multiple departments.  Each sales group needs to contact the specific department.
    So a customer could potentially have 10 different sales people contacting different people in the customers organization.
    How do you know when someone has already made contact?
    If we just look at the activities it is not very clear that contact has been made for a specific product. 
    Even with our customizations, there have been many situations where 2 sales people contact the same person at a clients office and we end up looking very unorganized.
    Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
    If this is not the right place to post this type if discussion, please redirect me.

    As an example, for 37-minute sequence of footage (made up of multiple clips) it's taking 50 minutes to first export a non-self-contained, time-code-reader-filter-added Quicktime.
    Did you render fully before you exported? That helps. But this is also a GOP format, and it takes longer to do pretty much everything, as it is a processor intensive format.
    1) How much more memory would help this work flow go faster, and approx. how much faster??
    None. RAM doesn't come into play here. PROCESSOR speed is all that matters. What will make it go faster is enabling QMaster to have Compressor access all cores of the processor. Or getting hardware to help with the compression, like the Compress HD from Matrox. But that only boosts encoding to H.264.
    2) Has anyone else done this type of work-flow, and been able to do it more quickly? Is RAM the issue? Any suggestions for a more efficient work-flow?
    RAM isn't the issue. Faster Processors, hardware boosting...converting the footage to ProRes before you begin editing...all help.
    RAM isn't what is hindering you here.

  • Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

    Hi,
    I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones.  Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
    Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc.  Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
    Thanks again.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
    Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward  messages to the BB.
    Those are basically the options.
    Hope that helps! Let us know!

  • Business Objects Training -General Questions

    Hi,
      I am just Going through the Business Objects...had some few general questions.
    1)What  is the current Version on BO
    2)Where does Crystal reports & Xcelsius fit in Business Objects
    3)Does Power Center & Informatica are also included in Business Objects
    Thanks

    The latest version of Business Objects Enterprise is XI Release 3.1 Service Pack 2. There have been several fixpacks delivered on top of this as well.
    Crystal Reports and XCelsius are tools to build Reports and Dashboards respectively. While XCelsius is suited for creating sleek dashboards with very aggregated data - usually less than 2000 rows per report, Crystal Reports can be used for reporting off data warehouses requiring reporting off large data sets.
    Informatica Powercenter is a tool proivded by an independant vendor and is not a Business Objects Product. Business Objects Provides Data Integrator, which is pretty much as rugged as Informatica and provides all the functionalities of ETL(Extraction Transformation and Loading).

  • A very very tricky question

    Hi All,
    Please help me in this question. There is a table with 4 columns in a table
    col1,
    col2
    col3
    col4
    A user should be able to see the first 3 columns and be able to refer the col4 although he does not have access privilege on the col4.
    Is this possible in Oracle ? If yes, please le me know how to.
    I think it is not possible by views.. may be some new features of 9i or 10g like vpd.
    Please let me know
    Thanks in advance

    This appears to be a duplicate of a question you posted in another forum
    Re: A very tricky question
    Since it is the same folks in the Database - General forum and in the SQL & PL/SQL forums, please try not to cross-post. Having multiple discussions on exactly the same topic in different forums is going to be confusing for posters and often leads to folks duplicating a lot of effort.

  • Sorry for stupid question.  I have just got a download of a piano accompaniment (not from itunes).  I have ?downloaded it - where did it go?!  I cannot find it anywhere.  Thank you so much.

    Sorry for stupid question.  I have just got a download of a piano accompaniment (not from Itunes).  I have played it and think downoaded it but where did it go?!  I cannot find it anywhere!  Thank you!

    Generally it is not possible to download anything from a web site when using an iPhone, so if you were just using Safari, you probably didn't actually download the track but just played it from the web site. If you used some other app, tell us what app and someone may be able to provide further assistance.
    Regards.
