Suggestion for future Match upgrade -- add a "force upload" function

I've been using the Match service since it went GA, last month. I have a lot of CD rips, but also some vinyl needledrops and different masterings (i.e. The Beatles in Mono) which the Match functionality really has trouble with. In the case of the Beatles Mono, it might upload some tracks but "match" others. So my Beatles album ends up becoming half mono / half stereo in iCloud.
This is undestandable given the technology being used, but is still very frustrating. So my suggestion to Apple developers is to create an "force upload" function to their Cloud service, with the next Match revision. This doesn't need to be enabled by default, but make part of the dropdown for a song or album to alow the user to use their specific local version, if the Match process doesn't work to their satisfaction.
What do you think? Good idea or waste of developer resources? I've already called Apple support with this suggestion, but I'm assuming that they are hesitant as it might give users the ability to eat up a ton of storage space on Apple's end, if it's abused.

The idea has merit, though a reluctance on Apple's part to implement, as you pointed out, might be argued based on additional server commitment. However, my guess is that as the matching process improves (crossing my fingers here), the storage requirement for the same number of users would go down, not up. We read a lot more from people who want the songs to match for one reason or another than want the ability to eat up hours uploading. I suppose Apple could put some hard limit on how much could be uploaded without the user paying more, if it really came to that.
On another subject, while you've gone through pieces of it in other posts, I would like a chance to pick your brain regarding your Audacity workflow, i.e. turntable/cartridge used, phono stage/preamp, A/D converter - well the whole ball of wax. I've learned what I know through reading and by applying what I learned in radio & TV studios eons ago, so I'm sure having a dialogue with an actual human who's had better success than I in getting vinyl to match would be very helpful.
Because until I read some of your postings, I was under the assumption my limited success was better than what most were achieving, I detailed my process here.

Suggestion for future release

Where should I post suggestions for future releases of SQL Developer or/and Data Modeler?
Please give me a link.
Thanx,
Chris
One suggestion for Data Modeler:
In the "Model Properties" of a relational model, there should be a "scripts" folder like in the "Table Properties".
In this script I'd like to generate some global statements for the DDL generation,
for example:
before (=begin of generated script): set define off; alter session set nls_numeric_characters='.,'; nls-config
after (=end of generated script): commit; (when table inserts are used and no ddl-statement is following; otherwise you have to use 'commit' in each table-script; After the last table create (ddl-) statement there is no implicit 'commit')
I know, that I can edit the generated script to add my statements, but if you often generate code there is a good change to forget to change the script afterwards.

Your "suggestions for future features" is broken??!!

I really just wanted to leave you a suggestion for future features. Your system took me to a page that said i needed to be on the most recent version but alas I am! You even tell me so when I go to firefox.com! Hmmmm...... a little problem there.
Regardless, here is the feature suggestion i wish to make:
You've done a fine job of cleaning up the top bar in 4.0 to make the most of new widescreen displays so that we have more space for the page content vs. the browser stuff. The deal is, virtually all sites still use only about a third of the page width leaving tons of wasted space on a full screen view. Why don't you offer a way to move all the browser navigation, tabs, and tools wherever i prefer - like running vertically down the left or right side of the massively empty pages i see on my 24" monitor and even my little 11" laptop monitor?

Should I buy the imac with expandable memory slot for future os upgrade size?

Should I buy the imac with expandable 8gb memory slot for future os upgrade size?

I Always try to have a little more RAM on my computers that I think I'll need when I purchase them. Either have more ram installed when you order the iMac or purchase one with open slots for upgrading.
I Purchase my iMac 5K with only 8 GB RAM but it had two open slots. As soon as I received the iMac I purchased two 8 GB modules form Other World Computeing. That brought my RAM to 24 GB. I run multiple applications and the iMac runs smoothly.

Suggestion for future firmware release

Hi, I'm proud to be a possessor of an AirPort Extreme and I would reccomend some useful deficiencies for future firmware update.
The ability to specify DNS1 and DNS2 for DHCP Client (I don't want that AirPort resolve itself)
The ability to quickly turn off and on wireless for health and green respect.
I'm thinking at a small application that doesn't restart AirPort but only turn off and on wireless and wired host continue to work.
Obviously AirPort Extreme doesn't have any hardware button to turn off wireless, but this could be a great thing for future models of AirPort...
Best regards!

Why not let Apple know directly about your suggestions?

Scanner Suggestions for future support

Maybe I'm asking for the world, but I'm on my third scanner in the last 6 years. Does anyone have a suggestion for a scanner manufacturer, or price range, where I might be able to count on future support of drivers as the new OS releases come out? I have used the workarounds (VueScan), but I'd really just like to think in advance that I am buying a product that will be supported 2 years from now.

Took no action.

A suggestion for the next upgrade.

When I want to separate my iPod I of course select the "eject" on the screen. However there are times when I just want to eject and keep the iPod connected (recharging, seeing what's on the iPod since the new upgrade took that away, listen to my tunes that won't skip). If I want to reconnect though I have to physically remove the cable and reattach. For the next upgrade couldn’t you have an icon at the top that shows the status of the iPod, say a pair of plugs connected and in blue, then when disconnected they’re separate and in yellow, so that if I wanted to reconnect I can just press the icon and it reconnects through software? Thanks.

EA6900 Update and Two Suggestions for Future Firmware "Nice to Haves"

Hey, first off, I've been a user of Linksys Routers for many years now, so I am familiar with the different settings and other selections that you generally see on the firmware pages. As to the EA6900, I am very, very PLEASED with how this router initially set up, along with the different pages in it's firmware. With the one exception noted below, the pages and the various settings "flow" very well. This baby is up and kickin and the house is literally dripping in both 2.4 and 5 GHz RF. The DHCP Reservation and MAC Wireless Filtering Tables worked without a hitch. The setup for FTP and NAS was simple! BTW, the setup for FTP shares is far easier than what we had to do using the EA3000 firmware. Kudos there! I am using the router associated with a server that is hosting about 25 different wired devices throughout the house, with a Cisco SG-200-08 Smart Switch behind the router for the LAN, which is load balancing on a Teamed (2 NIC'S) 2GB Adapter . The router grabbed Comcast's Native IPv6 and set that up flawlessly. Here is the information on how all that went (read from the bottom up): http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r28693387-IPv6-Dumb-Questions-About-My-IPv6-Goat-Roped-Hookup Information on how the netwrk worked in Teaming and LAG mode is here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4071888#4071888
OK:, So, Mr. Linksys Firmware Developer, whoever and wherever you are, I have two suggestions on the user GUI that would make everyone's life a little easier next time the firmware is updated:
1. Please make it so numbers, particularly MAC and IPv6 numbers, can be copied and then pasted to another place in the firmware. For example, in the Information tab of the Device Settings section, I should be able to copy MAC and IP numbers and then be able to paste them, say, in the DHCP Reservation Table. Other Linksys device firmware allowed for this.
2. For goodness sakes, PLEASE don't nest the Diagnostics tab under the Troubleshooting group. It drives me nuts to think that getting the router's status, to ping or traceroute, or to do a firmware backup would be found in "Troubleshooting". Suggest that all y'all just remove the Diagnostics tab to the far left side of the application and have that item as its own stand-alone group!
Then I will be most happy. As if it really matters, BUT I wanted to give all y'all my perspective from a user way down in the day-to-day weeds. A most happy Boy otherwise.

Wishlist item for future models: Please add the track point (red button) on keyboard

Dear Lenovo,
We purchased the S10 Ideapad for travel and it is wonderful for this. I am enrolled in online courses so I have to always be tethered to a computer with internet access. The Ideapad is fantastic for this use.
One feature that I miss from my R62 Thinkpad is the red button in the keyboard. By adding this feature to future Ideapads, it would be the best of both worlds! Increased functionality and portability - which is why laptops are becoming the standard for business and school travel. If the smaller models had this feature it would truly be a kick-butt machine, in my opinion.
Please pass this suggestion on to the developement department for consideration. I like this model very much (in fact I am writing on it now), but not having the track point is like not having coffee in the morning. It's a very rude awakening.
Best wishes to Lenovo for 2009!
Lesa Hall

I like it as well, liked it on my Toshiba Portege 3600 back in 1995 even better, but do not get your hopes up-the Trackpoint (tm) is the jewel of the Lenovo crown and the price point of the keyboard assembly + the redesign involved, basically rules it out for a machine in the sub $700 range.

Product suggestion for future iTunes

I can't find where to send a product suggestion to Apple.
When listening to "live" albums (i.e. Oscar Peterson's "A Night in Vienna" or Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" etc...any album that's been recorded with applause between tracks)...the applause is often annoyingly loud. It would be great to be able to designate tracks as "recorded live" and have iTunes automatically reduce the playback volume for the applause. I realize this might be a challenge to get iTunes to recognize the applause vs. the music, but...that's my suggestion. This would be different than 'Sound Check' in that it would fade out (reduce volume/levels) for the applause only...not the entire track.
G5, iBook G4, G4, and a trusty old 7200/90 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't know how this would be done either, but I would imagine...
• it wouldn't be fool-proof (what is?)
• I think that most applause has some common audio attributes. If a song is checked by the user to make use of a "live applause filter", for example, it would 'listen' to the beginning/end of a track and match the audio against a filter of common applause audio attributes, and appropriately fade/reduce volume if there's a good filter match.
• program it to only allow the fade at the beginning/end of tracks--mid-song applause would remain as-is. I would think that should be easy enough.
• perhaps the program could 'learn' intuitively or be 'taught' by the user the applause attributes of each song ... for example: such-and-such song has an applause fade 0:06 into the beginning and 3:50 - 4:15 at the end. iTunes attempts automatic detection, then allows the user to 'tweak' what it came up with.
Just ideas. I have no idea about what I'm talking about...I know nothing about audio, programming, or much else...just a user with an idea for this.

give us a synchronization software that really works.
Read http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-3-2-beta/suggestion/42076/n9-support
here is how they respond to our requests now.
"there's no such plan. Nokia Link is targeted for Nokia N9 users. As you've seen from comments by Pia, for Nokia N9 decision was to use new, lightweight desktop sideloading product."
and how we thought,
"With the very limited functionality (lightweight?) of Nokia Link it is completely against that what customers want. We bought a high quality device which works quite well OTA but which is almost worthless when a company does not allow synchronizing an Exchange server due to security concerns.
I think Nokia does everything to prevent the N9 to become a very successful phone which sells better than all the announced and published WP **bleep**. This decision which was taken by someone to provide Nokia Link as the only connectivity software for the N9 is absolutely not customer oriented. Nokia was known to produce high quality innovative phones. Unfortunately this time is over."

Some suggestions for a hardware upgrade on P20-S203

Hi,i'm gonna upgrade my satellite P20-S203 'cause i've got now an unespected budget of 500 euro.
I just would like to have some suggestions.
First of all: is it mad to think changing the motherboard?And if it doesn't sound too crazy,which one(Obviously from toshiba,as it has to fit perfectly with all the rest of the equipement,or if you know any other name that would still fit good into the notebook...).
Second,a REAL sound card,with externals line in & out(yes i do play guitar... :-))),any suggestion is welcome,even if i've got already some names in my mind.
Third,a wireless card,as this model has got a dedicated place...my thought woul be obviously for a toshiba one,what you think?would i have any problem if i chose the 100 Mbit/s one?
That's it,i hope you'll help me decide...any personal experience on the upgrade of this model is really welcome.
Thank you
Cheers

Hello Nerd,
you only can upgrade a few things on a notebook, like memory or HDD. A notebook is not a desktop. The most components are specially designed for one model and they don't fit in any other model.
So I'm sorry to say that you can't upgrade your motherboard and sound card.
But you can put a wireless card in your laptop.
WiFi Standard 802.11b
The best way is to buy it from a Toshiba service partner. There you get the right card.
Hope this was helpful.
Bye

I strongly recommend OWC. Not only do they have excellent prices, but their parts are high quality and all guaranteed to work with mac products. Also, they have excellent videos to install any component.
I've ordered from them dozens of times in the past and they are simply the best in all aspects of the sale:

How to flush Delta queue for future SAP upgrades/support pack !

Guys,
I'm making documentation regards to " How to flush Delta Queues" in case SAP wanted to upgrade the system or any support pack. Please anyone let me know the effective way to flush out the delta queue in step by step methods. I really appreciate your help.

1. Run V3 for associated application(s), this will load any potential delta data to the delta queues.
2. Run the delta load for each datasource twice. The second load will clear the delta repeat data so that there should not be any more data in the delta queues defined with the format of the current datasources.
Does this help?
