Stumpwm and stability in an office setting

I have used awesome (the window manager) for a fairly long time, and while it is quite good constantly changing my config file is not very pleasant. I use emacs a lot and I am fairly competent with lisp so I thought of using stumpwm. I have also considered using Xmonad although the prospect of working haskel is kind of pushing me away from that (being that I have no experience with Haskel).
From what I hear stumpwm used to be fairly unstable, lots of crashing etc. Has this improved? Is it stable enough to use as a main window manager in an office setting? If not I guess I will go with Xmonad as from what I hear it is much more stable.
Thanks for any help provided,
Kruppe

Hm...
I think it's not a good idea to use Stumpwm in an office setting. It's really cool, but far from stable.
If you really want to use it, I'd recommend using clisp-new-clx (AUR). SBCL crashes more often, at least on my PC. (That's why I made the PKGBUILD )
Avoid using the mode-line ! Afaik it's responsible for most crashes.
P.S.: Do I have to mention that you should use the stable release ? Git-version can be a pain in the......

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

What can I do about paying for Office from a commercial store, and itunes charging $100 for smart converter, ms office package and pack for ms office $41.99? It surely looks like double dipping

Hi folks, I am puzzled when looking at my itunes account. I bought a store office 365 package for $100, and in the process of installing it, somehow ended up with fees for smart converter, ms office package and pack for ms office, totalling another $90 from itunes. Isn't this double dipping and if so, how do I go about a refund? Thanks jby

Well, MS Office 2004 is available for the Mac and being a user of both the Windows and Mac versions, I think that the Mac version has a slight edge. The only downside is that it does not come with MS Access so if you use that then you have to stay with the PC version.
But... if you are set on mainly using Windows then paying a substantial premium just for a computer that looks good rather than on the fact that it runs OSX and hence great packages such as iLife etc is probably a waste. This is especially true when you have to remember that Apple will not give any technical support to users running Windows.. nil, nada, nowt! Likewise, Microshaft (sorry Microsoft) also seem unwilling to give support at this time since (for some strange reason) they don't like the idea of Windows on a Mac.
As I see it, the main reason for Apple to release the ability to run Windows was to:
a> Produce an 'official' version rather than have an unauthorised version 'in the field' which if problematic, could give Apple a bad name.
b> Give people who would like to have a Mac but have the occassional program which has to be run under Windows, the ability to switch to a Mac.
Option b was the reason why I switched from years on a PC to the Mac.

How To... Execute Planning Functions and Sequences from MS Office Ribbon

Dear all,
I am working with a SAP how to paper, which is called:
How To... Execute Planning Functions and Sequences from MS Office Ribbon.
It is working absolutely fine and I am pretty satisfied, but as you probably know "Control the visibility of a button based on the visibility of a related crosstab: the button just disappears once the related crosstab is not located on the active sheet."
This means, when I insert different queries in different crosstabs, only one crosstab will have my own created ribbon. Is it also possible to set another specific ribbon with other buttons for another crosstab? Can I change the macro, included in the appendix of the how to paper, regarding this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Dominik Drebinger

Hey Martin,
thanks for your reply, but I solved the problem on my own. Unfortunately my colleague did not see that the crosstabs had to be defined differently.
Like this:
Label
Screentip
Msolmage name
Crosstab name
Copy Initial Aligned
Copy Initial Aligned
CacheListData
SAPCrosstab1
Copy Initial Aligned
Copy Initial Aligned
CacheListData
SAPCrosstab3
Copy Initial Aligned
Copy Initial Aligned
CacheListData
SAPCrosstab5
The macro, provided by the HowTo, is therefore working perfectly fine.
Thanks though
Dominik

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting?

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting? Please suggest if there is any best prctice documentation that can be referred.

Hi Henrik
depend on what you need or what your security policy says for my lab gear i use 60 minutes. because i know how can access this. if you have gear outside in insecure space set it to a minimum or disable the console. everybody how can access your gear can break in. simple restart and boot w/o config. and you are in.
it realy depends how secure is your space and how much security you need.
and than the settings for policy have to match, what sec do you have if your console login and logout is secure. but when you restart you can simple break in by starting w/o config and than load it.

My Apple TV all of a sudden refuses to show the movies from my MacBook and says it needs to set time network. What is that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it.

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

After AVG PC Tune up, software update message for security and stability update is available FireFox 3.6.18. Should I Update?

My Dell laptop (Operating on Windows XP) was hit with multiple viruses - I could not open Mozilla Firefox or any other applications for that matter. After much time and many attempts, I was finally able to install and run an AVG Scan and then an AVG PC Tune up. 4,559 problems found and repaired. After the repairs, I received the following message:
"Software Update - A security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 3.6.18 - It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible. - an underlined link reading, "View more information about this update" and then 2 choices - "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox." Since part of the problem was with Firefox and some error messages pointed to that, I'm hesitant to click on any of the three options above. Can you help me to get past this error message, please. I am sending this from my home computer. Thank you. Diane

Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer
