Stupid simple pre-beginner question

Can't quite figure this out. Phone is what I consider talking to someone on the phone.... So, are texts, reading the NYT, finding internet data time also considered phone? As in, do all the minutes I spend doing anything (other than, hopefully, listening to music) count in the minute allotment that I get per month? Also, is there a way to track minutes? (This isn't an issue with my current phone.) Thanks.

if your plan is like mine...the minutes you're alotted are for talking only. data usage is when you send txts and access the internet (remember, just cuz you don't necessarily download something, it's still usage. it's measured in megabytes (i have 1000 MB on my plan). when you're listening to music, playing - SOME - games or doing anything that uses a program you downloaded previously. (somes games have ab online portion) it doesn't count against any usage - you already 'paid' to download it so now it's free to use.
so for me: telus is my carrier; SHAW provides WiFi at home. When I download or surf at home, i'm using wifi so it 'costs' nothing...when i talk i am accessing telus so it goes against my minutes...if i check my email while i am walking down the sidewalk, it costs me usage through telus - so many MB cuz wifi isn't around. but when i play a game waiting for my doc appt. - unless it's constantly downloading or accessing the internet, it's free.
i'm sure you will get a much better explanation but that's how i always explain it when complete strangers stop me and want to see my iphone.

Beginner question - using pre for flexibility in text?

Hi,
Apologies for the beginner question, but I am struggling to work out whether it is more sensible to use <pre> in all my texts, as it seems more flexible.
It seems that when I use <p> - paragraph - I can't use multiple space bars to align certain bits of text, but more disruptively I have gaps between text when I press Enter (I guess this defines the paragraph, but isn't always wanted).
Well, basically, <pre> seems more flexible, but it behaves strangely sometimes. What do other people use?
Many thanks!

Hi Ireshe, just a beginner like you. Have never heard of <pre> tags, use <p> tags. If you hit SHIFT enter after a sentence this puts in a <br> tag or line break which basically leaves a blank line between text.
If you add     &nsbp;    or lots of them between words this gives you an extra space between letters. How all your paragraphs sit on the page is defined by CSS. E.g.
p {
     margin:0;
     padding: 5px 0 0 10px;}
This would place all text within <p> tags on your page, with a 5px gap at the top, no space to the right or bottom and 10px space to the left. Hope this helps, good luck!

Beginner Question

Hello all, hopefully I have posted this to the correct LiveCycle board!
I'm new to Acrobat and LiveCycle in general. I'm working out of windows LiveCycle Designer 8.x and my question is as follows....
I'm working off of the "Quote" Form Template and what I am looking for is a way to make the rows of the Table expand as needed. I will be converting this Template into a "Purchase Order" form, and there will be many occassions where I will need to increase the table rows - perhaps onto a second or even third page - due to the volume of different items I will be seeking prices on at a given time.
Long story short I would like to take this "QUOTE" form template and make it such that if needed, I can expand the table size one row at a time, pushing the content beneath (Comments, subtotal, etc) onto the next page....
Hoping I have explained my query well enough, Could anyone provide me a solution or point me in the correct direction?
Many thanks!

As a followup, so as not to clog the board with numerous threads I have another beginner question
For the sake of hypotheticals I am creating a dynamic PDF form. This pdf is a Purchase Order Form, with a table in the Body that will expand/contract as the form user needs. (EXA- Default table size is 5 items, however user is creating an order for 12 items, he/she can increase the table rows to desired capactiy.) It will be a very simple layout. All data for the form will come from manual entry, no XML data binding going on.
My new question is as follows:    Is there a way I can have this user's Adobe reader or Adobe acrobat software remember previous data entries, so that if 4 weeks after ordering widget X he/she needs to place another order for widget X, the software will autofill the table as he/she types into the table cell?
This would be similar to how Excel will start to autofill if it recognizes a previously entered value from some other cell in the worksheet (workbook?)
EXA-
[NAME]   [MODEL]   [QTY]   [PRICE]
Widget           A            433        $30.00
Would it be possible for the software to notice that I'm typing the word "widget" somewhere after typing "wid" ???
Many thanks for any and all followups, I'm a teenager trying to help out in my father's small business. They are in the darkages here and I'm doing my best to self teach.
Thanks.

Beginner question: Can I apply one formula to all cells in a column?

Hi,
I'm new to spreadsheets, so apologies for asking what is probably a very simple question.
I want to apply a formula that divides the values in one column (W) by values in another (AX) for a table containing 3000 rows, and outputs the result for each row into the appropriate cell in the new column I've created.
Numbers 09 'help' hasn't helped to this point.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Besides Numbers '09 Help there are two other useful resources available in the Help menu: the Numbers '09 User Guide and iWork Formulas and Functions Help.
For "Beginner questions," my first choice would be the User Guide. For the specific question you asked, a quick scan of the chapter on "Using Formulas and Functions" (pp 83-96) will provide some useful information. Start in the neighborhood of page 93.

Pretest score normally is not sent to the LMS. However it is stored in a system variable, you could use JS to send it.

Simple X-fi Question, Please Help

!Simple X-fi Question, Please HelpL I've been looking for an external sound card that is similar to the 2002 Creative Extigy and think I may found it in the Creative X-Fi. I have some questions about the X-fi though. Can the X-fi:
1. Input sound from an optical port
2. Output that sound to 5. surround- Front, surround, center/sub
3. Is the X-Fi stand-alone, external, and powered by a USB or a wall outlet (you do not need a computer hooked up to it)
Basically I want to connect a TosLink optical cable from my Xbox to the X-Fi. That will deli'ver the sound to the X-Fi. Then I want that sound to go to a 5. headset that is connected to the X-fi via 5. front, surround, and center/sub wires. The X-Fi has to be stand-alone and cannot be connected to a PC to do this.
Thank you for your help.

The connector must match, and the connector polarity (plus and minus voltage) must match. Sorry, I don't know if the positive voltage goes on the inside of the connector or the outside. Any wattage of 12 or more should be adequate.

Pre Sales Questions CS4

I want to ask a pre-sales question on Premier CS4. How do I do that. I cant
see anything on the web, technical support only allows registered software.
Also, does the student version of the above include watermarks on the image output? I am a teacher and have as student son at unversity. What is the cheapest option for Premier CS4 WITHOUT watermarks
Thanks

The
education version does not watermark output.

Pre-Sales Questions: RV220W & SRP 547W

Hi,
Couple of pre-sales questions if you don't mind:
1. Does the RV220W Wireless-N Network Security Firewall allow RADIUS authentication of wireless clients on the WLAN?
2. Does the Cisco SRP 547W Wireless Router allow wireless clients to tunnel into the WLAN using VPN?
Thanks very much.

Yes it supports all the functionality. For more detail you can see the below link

Pre-sales Questions

What is the best way to contact Apple and get answers to pre-sale questions? Sometimes these forums work well, other times there is no response. When there is a response, is there a way one can determine it the responder is a representative from Apple?
Is there an 800 number that one can call for pre-sales questions? Unfortunately the closest AppleStore is 60 miles from my home.

1159/3605
Hi jbmth,
Responses you get here are from other users that volunteer to share their Apple knowledge.
The quality is probably the best possible, since every time something goes wrong in one's advice, someone else would quickly jump in and offer corrections/additions.
Determine representatives from Apple:
They have a white apple in front of their names. You won't see an answer from an Apple employee more than once or twice a year here really.
This is most a user-to-user forum.
What kind of info do you need?
Generally speaking, speculation about new products is quite very unwelcome by Apple standards.
Here in the Discussions, it is simply forbidden by the Terms of Use.
I hope this helps.

Simple Crop tool question... how do I save the crop section?

Hi,
I have a very simple crop tool question. I'm a photoshop girl usually... so Illustrator is new to me. When I select the crop section I want... how do I save it?... if I select another tool in the tool panel, the crop section disappears and I can't get it back when I re-select Crop tool. If I select Save as... it saves the whole document...and not just my crop section.
Like I said, simple question...but I just don't know the secret to the Illustrator crop tool.
Thanks!

Beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown workflow

Hello
I have a beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown.
If I edit some 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV Files and put them into multi-track view to do crossfades, how should I do the mixdown?
Audition shows me in multi-track view, that it is doing 32-Bit mixing.
Can I just mixdown to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo without any dithering (as the files are 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo to begin with), or will I lose quality that way?
I will be performing a normalization to 96% to the mixdown and then split to tracks in Audition, as in the end I want to to have an audio CD.
I guess I could mixdown to 32Bit, then normalize and in the end save back to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV (with dithering, I suppose?), but I want to avoid any unnecessary converting steps.
Greetings

Any time you do any processing on a 16bit file in 16 bit only it will degrade the audio slightly due to rounding of the calculations. Working in 32 bit floating point (Audition's default) takes account of all bits generated due to processing.
So it is always best to work in 32 bit, even if your originals were 16, all the way through until the last stage of saving the files for CD burning. Any losses due to conversion will be insignificant against those due to working 16 bit.

A Simpler, More Direct Question About Merge Joins

This thread is related to Merge Joins Should Be Faster and Merge Join but asks a simpler, more direct question:
Why does merge sort join choose to sort data that is already sorted? Here are some Explain query plans to illustrate my point.
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT * FROM spoTriples ORDER BY s;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |              |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
|   1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that the plan does not involve a SORT operation. This is because spoTriples is an Index-Organized Table on the primary key index of (s,p,o), which contains all of the columns in the table. This means the table is already sorted on s, which is the column in the ORDER BY clause. The optimizer is taking advantage of the fact that the table is already sorted, which it should.
Now look at this plan:
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT /*+ USE_MERGE(t1 t2) */ t1.s, t2.s
3 FROM spoTriples t1, spoTriples t2
4 WHERE t1.s = t2.s;
Explained.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT       |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   1 | MERGE JOIN            |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   2 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   3 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
|* 4 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   5 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   4 - access("T1"."S"="T2"."S")
       filter("T1"."S"="T2"."S")I'm doing a self join on the column by which the table is sorted. I'm using a hint to force a merge join, but despite the data already being sorted, the optimizer insists on sorting each instance of spoTriples before doing the merge join. The sort should be unnecessary for the same reason that it is unnecessary in the case with the ORDER BY above.
Is there anyway to make Oracle be aware of and take advantage of the fact that it doesn't have to sort this data before merge joining it?

Licensing questions are best addressed by visiting the Oracle store, or contacting a salesrep in your area
But I doubt you can redistribute the product if you aren't licensed yourself.
Question 3 and 4 have obvious answers
3: Even if you could this is illegal
4: if tnsping is not included in the client, tnsping is not included in the client, and there will be no replacement.
Tnsping only establishes whether a listener is running and shouldn't be called from an application

Simple pre-loader not working

I have made a simple pre-loader to leave the first frame and
go to the second frame one the bytesTotal has been reached. In the
loader i have a simple rectagle (instance named 'bar_mc') that i
want to grow as the bytesTotal is reached. Currently the screen is
blank when the file is loading nad then you see a flash of the full
rectangle just before it plays frame 2.
Here is the code i am using which is all on frame 1. Any help
is apprecialted:
stop();
root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
progressHandler);
function progressHandler(myevent:ProgressEvent):void {
var myprogress:Number =
myevent.bytesLoaded/myevent.bytesTotal;
bar_mc.scaleX = myprogress;
root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished);
function finished(myevent:Event):void {
play();
}

There is code missing from that, or it is defined somewhere
else. I suggest visiting gotoandlearn.com and going thru the
preloader tutorial there, it will define all of the elements you
need.

Beginner question - how to efficiently check if a photo is part of the selection

Dear all,
Sorry for this beginner question, however I don't know how to solve it and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:
My target is to get all the "heads of stack" (photos with Position 1 in stacks) of the selection ("photos" below).
for i, photo in ipairs( photos ) do
local photoName = photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
   if photo:getRawMetadata( 'isInStackInFolder' ) then
   --Photo is in a stack
        local photoHeadOfStack = photo:getRawMetadata('topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto')
        local stackPos = photo:getRawMetadata( 'stackPositionInFolder' ) -- get the position in the stack
        local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
        app:logVerbose("Photo nb ^1, name ^2 is in a stack with the position ^3", i, photoName, stackPos)
        if stackPos == 1 then
        -- photo is master of the stack
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photo
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is top of the stack ^2", photoName, #stackTop)
             -- check if couple if correct
        elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack already selected", photoName)
        else
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photoHeadOfStack
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack ^2 - ^3 ", photoName, #stackTop, photoHeadName)
        end
end
end
In the if structure in the middle checking the Position in the stack, if the Position is not 1, I would like to check if the photo heading the stack ('photoHeadOfStack') is part of 'photos'. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and 'elseif photos[photoHeadOfStack] then' but it doesn't work ->this elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' is part of 'photos'.
Is there anyway to have this check done without checking "manually" photos ?(via for example a for Loop)
I'm sure that Lua proposes this, but I don't know how...
I thank you for your Support!

    --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
    tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
    "photos". ]]
stackTopSet = {}
for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
    local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
    if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
    end
stackTops = {}
for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end

Beginner Question: SA520 Admin access through WAN port

Dear all,
I've a beginner question regarding my brand new SA520: How can I configure the box so that I'm able to access the admin GUI not only through the LAN ports but also from the WAN ports?
I tried already to allow inbound traffic to the firewall's internal IP address (not sure if done right, so) and granted the admin user access profile from WAN and LAN: I can access the box from the LAN but not from the WAN. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
PS: Yupp, I know that it's not a good idea to expose a FW admin GUI to the WAN - but this is only a lab environment

Go to Administration -> Users.
click on the 'Edit User Policies' 'Login' button. It's there you can enable WAN access.
