Spotlight is randomly selective
Upgraded to Tiger mostly for Spotlight, to cross-ref. my research papers, except that Spotlight is randomly selective, i.e. doesn't find all the documents all the time, not even when looking for special terminology, appearing only a few times.
Not only spooky if it can spot a document for one word but not for the next, but worthless as a research tool.
Please help me!
(No spelling mistakes, I've even tested copy and paste)
Sto, the following post by John McGhie, Microsoft MVP, Word and Word for Macintosh. Consultant Technical Writer, Sydney, Australia may help:
"Spotlight can look at only the first 100,000 bytes of any file. The question is whether or not the words you are looking for occur within bytes 0 to 99,999 in the file as it is written to disk. In Microsoft Word files, the text is not necessarily stored in the file in the order in which it appears in the document (in fact, if the document has been edited much, you can guarantee that it isn't...)
A Word document internally is a collection of "pieces", some of those pieces
are text. If a document were to have, for example, a graphic in the running
header, plus a large table of styles and numbering formats, it could well be
80 or 90 kB down the file before you even begin to see "text".
As an interesting "test", save a copy of that document as "text only". Word
will write it out to disk with the text in exactly the order that it prints,
and the file will contain nothing BUT text. Then, chances are Spotlight will find the search string perfectly. Open the text version of the document and save it as a Word document. Chances are, Spotlight will still find the string, because there's still nothing much between the front of the file and the search string. Now throw a few graphics into the document, attach a template and update its styles, and move a few sentences around. Make sure one of the sentences you move is the one containing the text you are searching for (note: I said "sentences", not "paragraphs", we don't want to make things too easy for it...). Save the document and close Word. Chances are that at that point, Spotlight will be unable to find the text, because now it has been moved within the file so that now it's below Spotlight's search depth.
In a typical Word document, something like half of the bytes in the file are
not "text", they're formatting, graphics, styles, numbering, languages,
fonts etc. All the usual paraphernalia that distinguishes a Word document
from "text". And makes it difficult for search engines to index..."
ref: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.word/browse_thread/th read/7abd44e5c3f38b62/a2425e610a8781a8%23a2425e610a8781a8
Now some would ask, why stop indexing at first 100,000 bytes? Well, not only could it take a lot of time, but the resulting storage could be enormous. As a developer of massive database search and management applications, a recently imported 340mb text file containing 250,000 records ended up at 1.5 gigs. Without indexing, what took 3 minutes to find something, takes less that a second with indexing.
Good luck

After ios 8 update has anyones ipad started randomly selecting everything? Even after ios 8.0.1 update it has still continued to do the same thing making it immpossible to use ipad anymore. Has anyone had the same problem and/or knows how to fix this?
Try a Reboot pess & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data This may help but the ipad 2 is a bit under powered for iOS 8 If you can a very good buy now is the iPad Air 32G Since they brought the new one out the price for this model Has come down by £120.00 That's the one I am using and it works great on iOS 8.1 Bsydd uk

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?
If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

I’m setting up a multiple-choice question, and I want to re-arrange the position of the button sprites representing the correct answer and distractors.
I can randomly select one of the sprites via gDistractorLoc = random(4). The random function fails me after that.
Is there a means of randomly selecting one of the entries from a list, e.g. gDistractorList = [1, 2, 4] or [1, 4]?
I realize that I am perhaps complicating the process, and I'd be grateful for a simpler approach.I don't know if this is simpler or not, but here is a method for grabbing a random item from a list:
gDistractorList = [1, 2, 4]
put gDistractorList.getAt(random(gDistractorList.count)) -
How to efficiently get hold of N randomly selected keys out of X?
I am writing some benchmark programs for Coherence caches and would need a way to as efficently as possible get hold of a "fairly random" selection of N keys from the cache out of the total X keys (where X >> N).
With "fairly random" I am in particular looking for a way to get keys somewhat uniformly spread over all partitions.
First i tried picking the first N keys obtained when iterating the key-set but they all seemed to come from just a few partitions (perhaps iteration is performed partition by partition?). Next I tried some algortihms I have used in the past to pick random keys from in memory-map (where one basically iterate and if a randomly generated value between 0.0 and 1.0 exceed a percentage calculatwed as the factor N/X the key is included. This does work (one may occasionally need to iterate the map more than once) but is VERY slow since iterating the key-set of a large cache remotly is kind of expensive.
All sugestions are warmly appreciated - the best would be solutions that do not require anything to be added to the pof-config (i.e. not rely on custome aggregators or invocables etc) - this because I would liek to be able to easilly use my benchmark as part of several applications without having to modify there configuration files!

Edited by: MagnusE on Aug 7, 2009 10:21 AMHi Magnus,
you can go the other way round:
With key-association you can ensure that your request goes to the partition you want it to go. You just need to generate a reverse mapping array between partition ids and integer associated key values which are mapped to that partititon.
You can use this method for it:
public static int[] generateReverseAssociatedKeysForService(DistributedCacheService service) {
KeyPartitioningStrategy keyPartitioningStrategy = service.getKeyPartitioningStrategy();
int partitionCount = service.getPartitionCount();
int[] reverseKeys = new int[partitionCount];
int i=1;
while (partitionCount > 0) {
Integer associatedKey = new Integer(i);
int partitionId = keyPartitioningStrategy.getKeyPartition(associatedKey);
if (reverseKeys[partitionId] == 0) {
reverseKeys[partitionId] = i;
--partitionCount;
++i;
return reverseKeys;
}After this, you generate an equal amount of entries for each partitions with composite keys which implement key association in a way that it returns an integer which maps to your designated partition id to serve as your data. Alternatively you can sort an existing key-set into per-partition keysets.
After this, you just generate evenly spread random numbers between 0 and (partitionCount - 1) (both inclusive) which random number you use as an index to the reverse map to get an associated key value. Then you can generate another random number if you have multiple keys within a partition, or choose a key from the per-partition keyset for that partition if you have a set of existing keys.
This way you get keys which are as evenly spread between partitions as your random generator generating your associated key indexes is spread.
Best regards,
Robert

(Pls help with query)
The results would be like

Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, and your existing query; that's very helpful.

When I run your query, I get NULL for sequence_no on the last 2 rows, where building_id=3000. The numbers 99 and 100 don't seem to occur in either table. Did you post the worng sample data and/or results?

FROM s_test

FROM b_test b
LEFT OUTER JOIN got_r_num r ON r.building_id = b.building_id
WHERE NVL ( r.r_num
, 1
) = 1
ORDER BY b.building_id
;This is called a Top-N Query , because we're picking N items (N = 1 in this case) from the top of an ordered list. What makes one item the "top", and another one "lower"? That's determined by the analytic ORDER BY clause, in this case
ORDER BY sequence_noThat means the row with the lowest sequence_no (for each building_id) will get r_num=1. If you want a random row from that building_id to be chosen as #1, then you can change the analytic ORDER BY clause to
ORDER BY dbms_random.valueYou can ORDER BY anything you like, even a constant, but you must have an analytic ORDER BY clause. ROW_NUMBER requires an analytic ORDER BY clause.
The results would be like
BUILDING_ID INVALID SUB_BUILDING_ID SEQUENCE_NO
1000 N 1 90
2000 N 1 94
3000 N 11 100
Again, I don't see where the 100 comes from. The results I get are:
BUILDING_ID I SUB_BUILDING_ID SEQUENCE_NO

Can a script randomly select an action within a specific set for use on multiple images?
Hi there.
I have a folder of 200+ similar images (taken in a photobooth).
I have made 8 seperate actions within the same set that apply slightly different textures to a image. Actions are titled 1, 2, 3 ...etc.
I am wanting a way to get all the images to have one of the actions (randomly selected) applied to them.
I'm pretty confident that this could be achieved with scripting, but have no idea how to write one.
If the images were sequecnially applied to action 1 then 2 then 3 and so on (repeating when back to 8) this would also be suitable.
I am fairly new to scripting so please keep answers simple where possible,
Many thanks.
Wil StevensSomething like this?
// make variable to hold the name of the action set
var actionSet = "myActionSet";
// make variable to hold an array of action names you want to use from that set
var actionArray = ["Action 1","Action 2","Action 3","Action 4","Action 5","Action 6","Action 7","Action 8"];
// either hard code the folder path
// var sourceFolder = new Folder('~/desktop/booth');
// or prompt for folder
var sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the booth pix folder");
// if prompting user make sure they didn't cancel the dialog without selecting a folder
if(sourceFolder != null ) {
// make variable for processed folder
var processedFolder = new Folder(sourceFolder+'/processed');
// make sure it exists
if(!processedFolder.exists) processedFolder.create();
// get the files from the folder using a mask to only get certain file extensions
var files = sourceFolder.getFiles(/\.jpg$/i);// here we are only getting jpeg files with .jpg or .JPG extension
// now loop through the files and apply random action
for(var f=0;f<files.length;f++){
// open a file in the files array
var currentDoc = app.open(files[f]);
// generate a random number between 0 and 7 ( array index is zero based )
var rand = Math.floor((8)*Math.random());
// apply a random action to the opened document
app.doAction(actionArray[rand], actionSet );
// make variable for the new file path
var saveFile = new File(processedFolder+'/'+files[f].name);
// save the file
SaveAsJPEG( saveFile, 8, true );
// close the doc
currentDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
// done with this file so loop to next
}// end of loop
// done with all the files in the files array
alert('Done');
}// end of if valid folder
// function to save jpeg

Smart playlists that grab a random selection make zero sense.
Because the random selection only ever happens ONCE making it utterly useless.
For example: I have created a smart playlist that grabs 1 hour's worth or randomly selected 3 - 5 star rated tracks from my music library. But it NEVER re-randomises! This makes no sense.
Also: this forum remains very broken (it is impossible to login using another Apple ID once logged into another ID) and the Bold, Italic and Underline buttons don't work (I'm using Camino Version 1.6b3pre (1.8.1.12pre 2008012000) ).Yeah, I've been to Doug's scripts before - great site.
As for just hitting the spacebar - no help when I want a falling asleep playlist. I don't want to wake up hours later to discover iTunes still playing in the middle of the night. Thanks anyway
You know - I do not properly comprehend the thinking behind having random selection mean random ONCE, then the same FOREVER -
ITunes has deleted random selection of library and refuses to import
A week after installing iTunes 9.1, it has deleted a large random proportion of my tirelessly preened library. Upon attempting to re-import my files, iTunes runs a loading bar as if it's accepting them, but imports only some randomly selected, if any.
Has anybody else encountered this problem upon installing iTunes 9.1?
I'm considering reinstalling an older version and importing my last saved library?
Any help would be o so very appreciated and rewarded handsomely
Thanks,
Diazcheck if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
any help ?
if not, try reinstalling iTunes the proper way. click here and follow the instructions.
if you want to install a previous version after all, here are the steps:
to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
+1) Quit iTunes.+
+2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
+3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
+4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
+6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
+You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
+And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.

I have a query or SQL I am writing where I need to select records in this fashion.
At most 2 records for each username, and those 2 records should be random.
there are many fields that I am bringing in via my SQL; but the username there are typically around 20 unique usernames.
The data itself without a random statement added to it returns approximately 2000 records.
If someone could assist me in the syntax of the portion of the SQL that could attain the results I am looking for, I would appreciate it.
I've never delved into a Random selection method before.
Someone mentioned to me that I could use a rank() statement; but I have no clue how to use that.
then someone else mentioned to use dbms_random.value which is another one I don't know how to use.
Please let me know if you have any ideas that could assist me.
Thank youmy query just needs a slight modification:
SQL> select deptno, ename
from (select deptno, ename, row_number () over (partition by deptno order by dbms_random.value) rn
from emp)
where rn <= 2
DEPTNO ENAME

Digital clock which randomly selects different colors from Applet
Hi,
I relatively new to java, what I'm trying to do is list about five colours in my Applet and pass the colours into my java code, and maybe the font.....
I want to be able to Display a digital clock which randomly selects different colours which were passed from my Applet
Thanks for any help
Zip
Clock Code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class dclock extends Applet implements Runnable{
Thread animThread = null;
int delay = 1000;
public void init(){}
public void paint (Graphics g){
// get the time
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date = cal.getTime();
// format it and display it
DateFormat dateFormatter =DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
g.drawString(dateFormatter.format(date), 5, 10);
public void start(){
if(animThread == null){
animThread = new Thread(this,"Animation");
animThread.start();
public void stop(){animThread = null;}
public void run(){
while(animThread !=null){
try{ Thread.sleep(delay);}
catch(InterruptedException e){};
repaint();
//sec++;
}Why doesn't the clock just decide what colour it is going to be? If you need to pass the colour choices in, just let the clock accept a collection of colours in its constructor or something. I don't understand what bit of this you are having problems with as you haven't really explained. Please also use code tags.

Random select using multiple tables
Hello World!!!
I'm trying to fix a form I modified last month and it's causing me fits!
I need to add another validation element (email address) to my password validation Form. The problem lies in the fact that I can't simply add an additional SELECT Statement to the query because it won't randomly select the same number that the first one did (records won't match). When I try to JOIN on the tables inside the inner SELECT, basically the same thing happens. I get an a result for the "e-mail" column but it doesn't match the same record as the first two.
Is there an easier way of doing this??? Here's the code I'm using that works for my first two column returns (from the agent_sec_questions Table). I'm trying to add one more column (email) from the agent_data Table.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
SELECT security_question, question_number
FROM (SELECT security_question, question_number
FROM agent_sec_questions
WHERE agent_id =
(SELECT agent_id
FROM agent_data
WHERE username = 'john doe')
ORDER BY DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE (1, 9))
WHERE ROWNUM = 1;Here's the solution I came up with if interested. I got the random number first, then joined my tables. If you have a better one, please let me know...
Chow!

SELECT DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1,3) INTO Sel_Num FROM DUAL;
MESSAGE ('Sel_Num= '||Sel_Num||' ID= '||UPPER(:LOGON_BLOCK.USERID));

INTO L_email, L_sec_q, L_q_num
FROM lookup.agent_sec_questions a, lookup.agent_data b

AND b.username = TRIM(UPPER(:LOGON_BLOCK.USERID))

How to randomly select links in e-tester and how to get VU# in e-load
1. How to randomly select one from links in a webpage in e-tester?
For example: there is a root-page. On it, there are about 2000 links to its subpages. They all have the following pattern:
<pre>
multiline<TD width="50%"><NOBR>
<img src="/images/tfold.gif" border="0" alt="GXC_.+?" align="texttop">
{a href="(.+?)"}<font class="titleorimageid1siteid0">GXC_.+?</font>{a} </NOBR>
</TD>
</pre>
So how can randomly select one link and then navigate to it?
2.how to get VU# in e-load?
For example: we launch 4000 VU to load-stress our server. But we want to use different user names to login for different VU#. such as VU#1's username is ADF1, VU#2's username is ADF2, VU#100's username is ADF100 and so on. How can we implement the feature?

ITunes library won't copy to 2nd iPod within household -randomly selects
Hi, we have invested in a 2nd iPod. I have a 160gb classic and my husband now has a 80gb classic. I'm trying to copy all of the iTunes library over to his new iPod but out of 6k songs its randomly selecting 1013. We thought it was the new iPod so took it back to the shop but the replacement version is taking exactly the same details as before.
As far as I can see there is MORE than enough space to take the files so don't think this is the problem.
Now I have to admit that I am a bit of a techno idiot so would appreciate any/all replies to be step by step and idiot proof.
Thanks in advanceHello,
First, check the iPod's preferences in iTunes... click on the iPod under Devices in the left-hand column. This should display the 'Summary' page (you'll see a picture of the iPod). Click on the Music tab, and make sure it is set to Sync all songs and playlists.
If the preferences are not set that way, change them so that they are, and then click Apply in the lower right-hand column. If they are already set that way, you might want to consider restoring your iPod in iTunes. This article will go over that in detail:

If the restore doesn't help, try changing the iPod drive letter, per this article:

Hope this is helpful
