Strike

I am an IBEW LOCAL 1049 member and a Verizon customer.  I am truly disgusted by the fact that Verizon pushed their work fours out on strike. They make billions in profits and there CEO and executives are stuffing their pockets with millions. If they were truly loyal to their community’s they would not be hurting the local economy with a forced strike. I am sick of greedy big business trying to hurt the middle class workers in this country.  I can only hope that there customer’s will fight back if Verizon doesn’t settle with a fair contract very soon. I will be looking to end my contract if the outcome is not fair.

I don't know why someone who  supposedly has no interest in Verizon would be commenting on their customer forum, but I can assure you the service outages has everything to do with the strike.  I lost my home phone service on Friday afternoon, for the first time in 11 years.  Coincidence...?  I sympathize with their grievances, but one must first understand that when union people go on strike, someone, either of their own volition or under the instruction of others, goes out and breaks stuff.  It's what they do.  There are reports of outages in greater Boston because of cables being cut.  I have no doubt once they are fixed, they'll be cut somewhere else. Of course once the strike is over (if ever; I foresee a war of attrition, with the workers losing)  the workers will be able to recoup all the money they lost on strike working overtime to repair all the damage they incurred.
I'll end with one last thought...Landlines are the buggy whips of the 21 century, and I really dont think Verizon cares about the landline business and the workers and customers associated with it, particularly rural ones.

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • Can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in iOS 7 Adobe Reader

    I have enjoyed using Adobe Reader to proofread clients' documents, but since the last two iOS 7 updates I can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in PDFs generated by the same source that previously presented no problems.
    The drawing and insert text functions do work.
    I am using an up-to-date iOS 7 iPad 4. The latest Adobe Reader update and a hard reset, as advised elsewhere on the forum, didn't help.
    I have read What's New and looked at the Help manual. I am aware of the new long tap to select one word followed by another tap.
    What am I doing wrong? Adobe Reader used to work so easily. I won't be paid for the time lost while I try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Krissy,
    I found it extremely frustrating and I don't have a technically sensible answer for you.
    Mine started working again suddenly, but slowly, after many hours of not working, and then improved in speed and responsiveness with use.
    The conventional wisdom is to ensure you have the latest update of Adobe Reader first. There has been more than one since the iOS 7 change.
    The first time it started working again for me was when I was trying in a pdf that I had previously edited in Adobe Reader before the problem began, where I know all the tools used to work (i.e. no problems caused by the file itself) but it is now also working in the new doc that wouldn't work the other day.
    Shradha above gave me the clue that triggered it. I usually go straight to the "Pick a Tool" comment/annotate button in the main/first toolbar at the top, then use the toolbar at the bottom, where the highlight, underline and strikeout tools wouldn't work.
    These functions started working when I tried selecting text directly from the first screen that has the toolbar for "View Modes" (an eye), save/export options, "Pick a Tool", share options and search, without selecting any of these options.
    So, instead of choosing the Pick a Tool button at the top, try just holding down some text for a while, as if to select it (mine wouldn't even select for a long time) and see if the grey tool menu pops up right above that text.
    Initially, I only got the options that were already working to pop up ("Note, Text, Freehand and Signature"). I tried a few different spots in the file and eventually the "Copy/Highlight/Strikeout/Underline/Define" menu popped up. The first time it apppeared was after holding down the text selection action for about 20 seconds, and it didn't appear every time, but then it became quicker and more reliable, and then these functions also started to work from the bottom toolbar that I usually use after choosing Pick a Tool.
    Even today, checking that it still works, it was a bit stuttery to start with and then it came good.
    Perhaps any of the technically-minded members could explain this or perhaps tell us if there is a difference in the action that is supposed to bring up the "Note" etc versus the "Highlight" etc pop-up menus. I'm stumped.
    So try holding down text to select as soon as you open the file, and see if that grey menu will start to appear with the "Highlight" etc options after several attempts. I hope it starts working for you soon.

  • Port Forwarding for Counter Strike Server - DSL Modem to Linksys Router then to my Laptop (wifi)

    Hi,
    i have read many posts here but did not find any solution. Below is my current situation.
    Objective: I want to create a Counter Strike 1.6 Server and for that i have to forward port 27015.
    Networking Issues: Im currently using a Shiro (Dsl Modem) which is given by my ISP & i have connected my DSL modem to my Linksys WRT54G (ver 7.2) router. I connect my laptop thorugh wifi to router.
     I know basic port forwarding but that does not help me. I need a complete tutorial on this issue coz i dont have much network knowledge.
    waiting for reply
    thank you

    Try this link to forward port for Counter Strike on the router.

  • Forwarding port for Counter-strike: Source is not working

    With my linksys router (Model WRT54G)I tried forwarding my port for a Counter-Strike: Source server. My friends tried it after I tried forwarding the ports and it did not work. It looks like this: |Application|Start|End--|Protocol|Ip-Adress------|Enabled| |CS1--------|1200-|1200-|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| |CS2--------|2700-|27015|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| |CS3--------|27020|27039|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| I can get on the server but my friends can not. And yes, I did uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet request". Message Edited by Iridium on 08-16-2007 07:37 PM Message Edited by Iridium on 08-16-2007 07:38 PM
    Message Edited by Iridium on 08-16-2007 07:38 PM

    Is the IP address 192.168.1.105 really the IP address of the server in your LAN?
    Moreover, check what kind of modem you have. Follow the instructions here. If the IP address on the status page is a private IP address and the IP address on whatismyipaddress.com is different then your modem does routing too and you have to configure port forwarding there as well.

  • 3rd Strike -or- How I Learned to Hate Skype

    I believe I've made a huge mistake with my serious efforts to embrace Skype as a viable option to conduct personal business, let alone relying on Skype to keep me in touch with my loved ones. I type "3rd Strike" in my subject-line, but it's more like 4 now...and I won't have the discretionary time to evaluate other solutions to my communications needs; this will have to wait until the weekend.
    If you wish to review my troubles, please refer to my other posts. To summarize: the Windows 8.1 App is a useless pre-beta mess, I can't change my paid-for 2-year contract Skype Number's caller ID (and it comes up as a sanitized Skype user-name), the "Skype Credits" I bought for USELESS ONE-WAY SMSing are a write-off, and this afternoon is the giant turd which clogs the Skype waterpipe: I have ANOTHER potential client who informed me that he'd been trying to reach me all weelend on my Skype number, but would only receive a busy-signal. I was fortunate enough to have met him in person when he'd informed me. Of course, I asked him to verify he had the right number. He produced the slip of paper I myself had written this number down on, and sure enough it was correct. He then produced his cell-phone, dialed my number, and sure enough: BUSY SIGNAL. It turns out that he dialed a "1" at the beginning of the number. WHY?!?
    This introduction to Skype has been an extraordinarily frustrating and potentially business-damaging experience. My increasing irritation has only been compounded by Microsoft's seeming laxidasical attitude towards adressing customers' pointed and serious concerns about their Skype product. It is being heavily marketed as this convenient, "hip" communications solution that turns out to be totally un-cooked. I don't have too much experience with the "old" Skype, but I have used it off and on for years...it worked. Now that I was lulled into diving in with the come-ons that came with my business-class Microsoft Surface Pro laptop, I feel like I've been hoodwinked. Not only is Skype NOT anywhere near ready for personal business, it appears based on YEARS of customer complaints here on the "Skype Community" message board that these serious problems have not been addressed in the slightest. In fact, I'll wager with the introduction of the "Modern Windows" Skype app, serious and damaging backsteps have been affected on the product.

  • Strike Through in ADOBE appears in the subsequent line items

    Hello ADOBE Forms creators;
    I am using the functionality of Strike through(line through) in my PO line items if the line item is deleted. However, in the following line item which is not marked as deleted if some of the fields have the same value as the deleted item, for example: if the quantity in the previous line(the deleted line item) is 5 and in the current line is also 5, this quantity in the current line item which is not marked as deleted gets the strikethrough as well. But if the value is not the same it will not get the strike through.
    Can anyone put some light into this issue. The points will awarded to the correct answer(s).
    Thanks,
    Cyrus

    What you are seeing is exactly as you described....ie. when the fields match in value, it applies to all. This has do to how you are navigating your DOM there in your Javascript. You are not making use of any indexing....just simply saying "any of my field values for quantity, apply this style". You are "referencing by name" to your fields.
    You have:
    this.parent.items.QUANTITY.blah.blah
    when it should look something like (forgive me but off top of my head....look/search for correct syntax)....
    this.parent.list.items[index].QUANTITY.blah.blah
    basically you need to find the index of your "QUANTITY" children (and other like named fields). They are all "named" the same, so they will have some kind of index to resolved them correctly. It might be an index after "QUANTITY". I am guessing you will look at the index for IND_TXT and then find all other fields with that same index (ie. same row?).
    Hope this helps.

  • Counter Strike Source

    hi recently i try this Game Counter Strike Source by using boot camp on Window XP, but i'm having some problem when loading there is black screen... does anyone know this problem.. is there any way to solve please help thanks...

    You can run CS Source through boot camp and it works fine. I don't have it on my own computer, but I know because of the hardware in the MacBook. I've played on a PC that has similiar configs, possibly even lower.
    Hit me up ... I'm Stankoniaexp90 on various servers. I liked the P00p server a lot though lol.

  • Counter-Strike: Source Server Lag

    I was running Debian Sarge (64bit), and a few Counter-Strike Source servers, I had no problem at all and they was running smooth.
    Recently I installed Arch (i686) on the server and the CSS servers are laggy, while playing you get frequent lag spikes...
    $ uname -a
    Linux r0xb0x 2.6.17-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 9 07:32:55 CEST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
    I was running 2.6.7(?) on Debian, so I'm thinking its the 2.6.17 kernel, should I try a differant flavor like beyond/archck/vanilla?
    The FPS fluctuatates from 120 - 250, I could'nt tell you what it was like on Debian.
    Is there a custom kernel for gaming? Or one that would suite my needs better, or should I compile my own?
    Thanks
    -- eth0

    I'm trying to compile my own kernel, and I can't get pass "make install":
    [root@r0xb0x linux-2.6.17.13]# make install
    sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.17.13/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.17.13eth0 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
    Fatal: open /dev/hda: Read-only file system
    make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
    make: *** [install] Error 2
    Some reason it's using /dev/hda, yet all my hard-drives are SATA (/dev/sda), why's it using /dev/hda. I Google'd, couldn't find anything...

  • SB Xtreme Music and Counter-strike Source He

    Hello,
    I have a sound blaster xtreme music and I play the game counter-strike source. I have having a problem with the surround sound. I can hear everything around me except behind me when I play. Ive tried everything to get it but I just cant figure? it out. Can some help me!

    I do not have other games, only CSS - well the valve games i bought.
    When I am in Ventrilo, the others hear me with the audio creation, I can change the effects and they hear it. Although, in counter strike, it makes no change to my audio- my audio just sounds normal, so I thought the diagnostic from SB would show me something. The above error might be the reason, but I do not know what that actually means.
    Thanks

  • Windows 7 and counter-strike source shuttering.

    I have concluded this is caused by creatives driver by disabling the card in device manager the shuttering is gone. Is there a work in progress for this or some kind of work around until it is fixed?

    Re: Windows 7 and counter-strike source shuttering. Found a simple work around until someone can fix this, found this over in the sevenforums.com
    Hi there, I've recently had an extremely annoying issue regarding sound, games, multiplayer, and Windows 7. When I would start up a game (such as Counter-Strike Source or Heroes of Newerth) and connect to server, my fps and ping would be nominally ok, but the game would lag. In HoN this would be displayed by the heroes moving jerkily around the map, even though my fps and ping were good. In Counter Strike, this evidenced itself by glitchy nades that don't bounce smoothly, and whenever sounds are played, the ping spikes a bit. It's kind of like playing on a 33 tic server, for those of you familiar with the game. None of these issues occurred in single player games or in the aforementioned games with a local server.
    Anyway, I searched and searched here and couldn't find anything, but finally I found something in Google:
    Stop and disable the "Multimedia Class Scheduler" service<
    Run regedit and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Audiosrv"<
    Double click on the entry "DependOnService" and delete the line with "MMCSS" from the text box<
    Reboot and enjoy lag free games<
    This fixes issues with Realtek '97 (my motherboard uses nforce 4 chipset), and I'm guessing it will also fix issues with Creative Audigy 2 ZS, which I also have installed at the moment, but haven't tested.
    I diagnosed the issue by realizing that by disabling audio devices in device manager, lag would disappear in-game. So glad I found this solution after installing 6 different audio drivers and generally being very frustrated. Just thought I'd leave this here as a reference for others with a similar issue.
    Original solution by Mirkon. Thanks!

  • Strike through line is not coming up in PDF output

    I have to strike through some data in my report. I tried in design time as well as in run time. In run time I used SRW.SET_FONT_STYLE(SRW.OVERSTRIKE_STYLE) method to strike through the data. It is displaying overstrike line in screen, printer, RTF and HTML outputs, but not in PDF output. Plain data is coming up in PDF format without strikethrough line.

  • Lightening strike "fried" all components. What effect on Mac?

    I had lightening strike a tree & bounce over to my Chimney on St. Paddy's day, evening. It "fried" all of my computer components & Comcast boxes & more. Can you give me a list of all of the problems that that could have caused to my Macbook? (Most say, if it is not black or does NOT turn on, then it could be "hardware issue" related to LIGHTENING STRIKE. And they say that all the problems that I have been having are "software issues" & NOT related to the lightening.
    IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME VALIDATION THAT THE LIGHTENING STRIKE CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY MAC, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BUY ME A NEW ONE! (Of course, I will need to know who to go to to get this VALIDATED.)
    I hope that someone is creative enough or has had this experience to know that it CAN happen. I need all the help that I can get!
    [Some of you may have read & hopefully will be helping me with my loss of OS Apps, Time Machine, saving on MyBook from my post on HT 3275
    TIME MACHINE GONE... EARLIER, OTHER OS APPS NOT THERE, DAMAGED MAC from what??
    & HOW TO UN-INSTALL MacKeeper.]
    I am still LOST in that one... Nothing that I have tried has changed anything.
    Thank you all for being so patient with someone who doesn't really know & understand the technical side of Macs. I do well to get this "bloody" Mac to work, since I got it.

    Ralph L1,
    Thank you for your response.
    Lightning strikes can cause a myriad of problems that may or may not include total destruction of electronic components.  Surge protectors may help, but do not always help with lightning strikes as the induced voltage and duration of the surge may not allow the surge protector time to trip.
    I have learned that surge protectors do NOT protect from lightening strikes! Only electrical surges. There used to be one compay & our Electrical Company, NES, who sold actual Lightening Protection Devices. NES no longer provides those, so nothing will protect against an electrical strike.
    I was also told that while most of one's components can be "fried", that computers have a built in protection that must be pretty powerful to have NOT damaged my Macbook with the lightening strike.
    You don't say why the chimney damage is relevant...was there an electrical, cable, dish antenna associated with the chimney?
    No, it was St. Paddy's evening, March 17. I was gone for 2 hours & came home & had no electricity. I hit the breakers & all came back on, but my TV & computer. I called out NES & they saw some "burn" in the internal box outside. It took me several days to realize what had happened. I went to put something in my storage building which is attached to the house & happened to look up & 2/3 of my chimney was gone. First thinking wind or tree branch?? Then, I started finding pieces of brick & mortar on the side of the house where I would have been parking & then in the back yard & finally at least 150 ft back in the yard & knew that no wind could have done that. Finally, one guy said that my chimney had been struck by lightening. And then another saw exactly what had happened. Lightening hit the top of a sweet gum tree outside of my fence, came down to a knot & a V in the trunk & bounced over to my chimney & went down the chimney & through my electrical system in the lower level of my house. Clearly, my Vonage box was "fried", as was my modem, router, TV cable box, phones, & many other electrical components.
    So, I was hoping that SOMEONE reading here might just have experienced a lightening strike that DID DAMAGE THEIR MAC & COULD TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO SUPPORT THAT, as the insurance company would buy me a new one.
    Yes, I have been having issues with my Macbook, thanks to NO help from Apple after paying to 3 years coverage & being on the phone with them for hours at a time & months at a time. I had an "issue" that happened about 1 year into my warranty & they did NOT fix it. The "genius" was rude & put >8,000 files in ONE folder, for ME to deal with. Lost all of my folders, albums, grouped items & it is still a mess.
    I plan to write the HEAD of Apple when I get other issues in my life resolved, even if it is way past the "coverage date". You have no idea what I have gone through & the displeasure that I have had out of this Macbook because of them. I suffer from a debilitating disease that keeps me from getting things done in a timely manner & right now I am overwhelmed & pretty much "immobilized". I have been on disabiltiy since 1993, spent most of my life savings as a professional single woman, so I have no money to get a nearly 4 year old Mac repaired that should have been "fixed" while under warranty!!
    However, each time I use my Mac, something else happens... the "spinning ball of death" is about to make me throw this "bloody thing" across the room. Now, my Time Machine is "missing". My MyBook external HD is NOT working. I am told that several other parts of my Operating System are missing, e.g. the Launch Agent, whatever that is & I have no idea what else & that my Mac IS damaged. I was told that I needed to Re-Install my OS, which would be fine, IF my Time Machine & External HD that was saving all of my back-ups were working.
    Then I stupidly... ignorantly installed MacKeeper & everyone says that needs to be UN-INSTALLED ASAP, but with all the issues that I am having, & the "how to UN-INSTALL, NOT using MacKeeper...", I cannot understand it. I have tried & one person has been trying to help me to no avail. I am "terrified" of losing all of my information & of my Macbook finally dying, due to stupid things.
    Please have a look at the posts on my case about that & if you can help me, I would be very grateful.
