Talking about cutting edge....

KDE 3.3.1 is seeping in after the pacman -Suy command, wheras it has not even been anounced on the KDE homepage! Arch is like what gentoo used to be... cutting very sharp edge!
Kudos to you speedy devils!
Now, what about openoffice 1.1.3? ;-) hint nudge hint..

it is THE release and no cvs version
package maintainers get access about a week before the release is announced on the kde website, so that the packaging and synching of the mirrors is finished in this week and anyone can get the new release when announced
archlinux package maintainers are simply more efficient then maintainers on other distros ;-)
Fantastic!

Misinformed by a Verizon corporate store about Early Edge and now loosing hundred of dollars in order to get account straightened back out.

In early November 2014, my husband and I visited a corporate Verizon store. While at the store, we were presented with the option to do an "Early Edge" program. My husband and I both opted to do the Early Edge program and were informed that it would be in our best interested to switch our data plan from 4 GB to 10 GB because it would be cheaper due to the larger discount on the line access charges. He switched our plan on the spot in the store for us and we proceeded to do the Early Edge agreements.
As part of the Early Edge agreement, the sales associate informed us that we would need to send back our current phones due to receiving a discount on the handsets when we signed the two year contracts with them. This part was a little confusing for me because I signed my 2-year contract and purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 with that contract but was having a lot of problems with it, so I paid full retail price or "out of pocket" for a Motorola Moto X Designed by You that was active on the account when we signed the Early Edge Agreement for my phone number.
The sales associate was adamant that I needed to send the Samsung Galaxy S4 back to Verizon after I received my new phone in the mail from the Early Edge program. He was well aware that the Samsung Galaxy S4 was NOT currently active on my account as we talked about my Moto X being on the account when he pulled up the account. So when my new phone arrived in the mail, I activated it and mailed back my Samsung Galaxy S4.
At the end of November and into early December, I started receiving both text messages and e-mails from Verizon stating that I had not returned my device back to Verizon and needed to do so within the next 14 days. Both myself and my husband called Verizon Customer Care (611 from our handsets) multiple times to try and figure out why we were getting these messages. We were each told a wide variety of reasons why we were getting these messages. One phone call my husband was told that the warehouse mixed up the bags our returned devices were in and it would be corrected by the warehouse. Both my husband and I were told several times that both phones were indeed received, but it took 4-6 weeks for the return to be processed so we didn't have to worry about the messages.
At the end of December, I received another e-mail saying I failed to return my device to Verizon and I would be charged a fee because of this. I called Verizon Customer Care (611) and was told that I received this messages because the warehouse was expecting a Moto X back and received a Samsung Galaxy S4 instead. I explained why I sent the Galaxy S4 instead of the Moto X and the customer care representative put me on hold as he spoke with his supervisor, then came back and told me I needed to return to the store where I signed the Early Edge agreement where they could change the phone that the warehouse was expecting from the Moto X to the Samsung Galaxy S4.
My husband and I traveled an hour to the Verizon store where we signed the Early Edge agreement and were told by the store manager that it was impossible for them to change what phone the warehouse was expecting at a store level. We asked that the store credit us the fee we were expecting to be charged for not returning "the correct phone" since we were mislead by a store employee, but the manager refused to help us with a credit or to even get the situation with the returned phones resolved.
Exhausted and extremely upset, I decided to try one last hope and use the live chat feature on the Verizon website for help with the issue.
Now, another issue on the account we faced was a $30 overage fee for going over our data plan in November. We received a ridiculously high Verizon bill in December and when I examined it, I saw we were being charged for a "month in advance" on all of the charges on our account due to signing the Early Edge agreements, as well as $30 fee for going over our data. It was never explained to us by the sales representative that our next bill would be higher than it normally is because we will be billed for a month in advance, so that was shocking to receive a bill almost $200 higher than our normal bill, and to have a $30 overage fee. I called Verizon Customer Care (611) and asked about the $30 overage and she told me it was because we changed our data plan at a Verizon store in the middle of our billing cycle. She spoke to her manager and was approved to give us a $30 bill credit on our next bill since the data plan change should have been back dated to the start of billing cycle to avoid things like a data overage. So we paid the extremely large bill and when the December bill came, there was to no surprise, no $30 bill credit on our December bill.
So, I waited about 10-15 minutes for a chat agent to become available. I was connected to an Agent and typed out a lengthy summer of my issue of the missing bill credit to start and told him I had another more complicated issue to discuss after the bill credit. It said the "Agent is typing a message" down at the bottom of the chat for a long time, I probably waited a good 25 minutes like an idiot before I attempted type another message but was unable to type anything. While cycling through the open windows on my computer, I noticed there was another pop up from Verizon that said my chat was disconnected because of inactivity.
I got REALLY upset at that point, and had to wait another 10-15 minutes to get into a new chat with a new agent since the other one timed out because the agent never said anything in my chat window. I was connected with a very helpful and polite agent named Tiffany. Long chat conversation made short, Tiffany promised to issue a $30 "instant credit" to my account that would take 10-15 minutes to appear and I needed to relog in order to see. She also told me that I was supposed to send back the Samsung Galaxy S4 since I paid out of pocket for the Moto X and that she would forward the issue to her supervisor to get the Samsung Galaxy S4 accepted by the warehouse so I would not have to pay the fee for returning the wrong device.
It is now January 10th, 2015, and my bill is due by 1/11/15. There has still not been a $30 "instant credit" posted to my account as my bill amount has not decreased by a single penny since it posted to my account in December.
About 30 minutes after I finished chatting with Tiffany, I received several text messages from Verizon informing me that the warehouse would be returning my Samsung Galaxy S4 to my residence and I needed to return my Moto X after that because it was the last phone active on my account when I signed the Early Edge agreement.
I am EXTREMELY upset that we were misinformed by a sales representative at a corporate Verizon store and it is going to end up costing me hundreds of dollars because I chose to do a Early Edge upgrade and it really screwed up my account. If I comply with what Verizon is asking and send back my Moto X, I am loosing the $350 dollars I spent to purchase that phone out of pocket plus the $30 dollar overage fee I was charged for a change the representative made on my account in the middle of the bill cycle. If I refuse to send the Moto X back, I must pay a $250 fee (or higher) for not returning my device plus the $30 overage charge.
I used to really enjoy being a Verizon customer, but now I feel completely scammed out of hundreds of dollars because Verizon as a company is refusing to make a wrong a store associate representing the company made back in November.
This became A LOT longer than I intended it to be and I don't expect anyone to read it fully, so if you take anything away from this forum post (if it doesn't get deleted by Verizon), please take these thoughts away:
Do NOT signed up for the Early Edge Program because it will do nothing but give you a ton of headaches, really screw up your Verizon account, and cost you a lot of money in the long run.
Do NOT believe when anyone paid by Verizon tells you that you will receive any kind of credit on your account, it will NOT happen.
Verizon Wireless will NOT fix any mistakes on your account made by the company itself; Verizon Wireless will come up with solutions on how YOU can fix the problems THEY created on your account, but none of these solutions will actually fix your account.
If you are thinking of switching to Verizon from another company, DO NOT.
Sincerely,
an extremely disgruntled Verizon Wireless customer who WILL be switching to another carried once the mess of her account gets sorted out.

I am going to tell you like I have been passing the word about this scam verizion is running with this edge program,basically they been getting our money from both ends,anyway that is how my lawyer explained it to me.I am taking them to court and will see where it goes.
All I'm saying is read the fine print a couple of times because what there putting in print isn't true.
My wife was such a great customer they gave her a couple lg tablets,she told them we got enough at home and they said but there free she said ok I guess if there free.
Two months later I was getting charged and they been in the closet,they don't care about the customerand there liars.

The Samsung 830 is a different story. It's based on Samsung controller and their own nand flash. Of course the firmware version would be in a different system from the Intel ones. The early batch of the Samsung 830 Series is shipped with CXM01B1Q firmware, and the latest version is CXM02B1Q. The early version is not known to have any serious bug, but just worse write amplification and possible performance loss under continuous heavy load. It is recommended to update it to the latest firmware if it isn't yet.

What it mean to be cutting edge?

Have been an Arch Fan for long long time. However, I didn't use Arch as long as have in love with it. the reason why is....
It is too cutting edge. And because of this fact. I think I am about to leaven Arch once again soon....
It is heart broken statement. but it seems very likely to happen. but why....?
It is because of GNOME 3.0. as far as it goes. GNOME SHELL is a super annoying interface. You know with that zoom in and out and in and out effect. and that poorly designed clock at the dead center, which you can't do anything about it. Not to mention that add/ delete Desktop feature. Wow you can add up to 1073 desktop. OK? what are you going to do with all this? little good option makes a huge deal. Most people wouldn't agree with me at this point. because it looks "impressive" but I think eventually they will agree with me. if they really care about work flow, and actually reasonable graphic design (by not mean about "cool" eye candy. but layout, and transition)
I know what the GNOME team is doing can't control by Arch, but by it very arch philosophy. they will eventually use GNOME 3.0 and kick out Gnome 2.30. Just like they did with KDE when KDE 4 come out. They drop KDE 3.5 way before KDE 4 is actually usable. So my question is is really Cutting the edge that important to Arch. perhaps what is really mean be to cutting edge? Is it just because the number is higher or is it the really edge cut break through of a software that actually count. In the case GNOME. GNOME 2.30 is totally a difference interface with GNOME 3.0. They are simply not the same thing. Well, they developed by the same team. But it doesn't seem GNOME3 is more advance then GNOME 2.x. In fact, In a way. GNOME 2.x is more advance than GNOME3.0. (you don't have to agree with me) So if some "release" is more or less is just like a Beta. Why so Arch actually use it as primary package? After all it is ok be to there, but why it has to kick out the old one?
Arch is so wise, to come out with it's great philosophy, but after that, people just following it blindly. I am totally no problem with Arch Linux, except be it being too cutting edge. And just all these latest package even when they are known have problems. Of course, it only happen once for a while, but sometime, it happen to that one thing people really love to have in their box.
In conclusion, the question is simple. Is the cutting edge philosophy it out important anything, like the general quality of the distro. Even so. as I mention above, than what is it actual meaning of cutting edge? Just some personal option about Arch Linux. and Just tell some problem I have encounter in Arch. I know I know, there are like million way to go around things. which is good thing about the Linux world, but that is not points. and I know some of the point I am making seems a bit too early. But problems happen once, and might happen again.
Thanks all the Develop and users' support on Arch Linux.

ioky wrote:"What it mean to be cutting edge?" Is it the "latest" and "stable" release is cutting edge. or the one who is most advanced as cutting edge? or it means something else. I mean things can be stable but not useful. and thing can be not stable, but the developer just call it finally release. Cutting Edge is great, we all love Cutting edge, But how Arch Linux actually define the Cutting Edge. and how Arch user think what Cutting Edge mean? It is great that it is follow a good set of philosophy, but I think sometime blindly following a good set of philosophy can also be very irrational.
It's not so much "blindly following a good set of philosophy" as it is pragmatic, it's usually a lot more work to maintain a legacy branch than following the current upstream "stable" release. You can't just let the software packages sit there, eventually they will have to be rebuilt to be compatible with new system libraries that have to be updated for use in other programs, eventually the programs won't compile without patching the source; also non-core GNOME applications that you might want to use may only work with newer GNOME libraries unless you backport APIs / features into the old libraries. And bugs will never be fixed unless the maintainers do it. That's a lot of work. I mean, a project with a lot of manpower like Ubuntu or Debian might try and do something like this, but there's not enough manpower amongst the arch devs and TUs, nor I suspect enough desire, to do this sort of thing.
So Arch keeps it simple and just ships the newest upstream "Stable Release" as long as there aren't any big obvious problems with the packages. Side benefit: the developers don't have to decide which version of the software is "most advanced"; which is often entirely a matter of opinion. (KDE 3.5.x still has some features lacking in the KDE 4.x.x series ... but there are a lot of new features in KDE 4.x.x that were never present in 3.5.x ... so which series is more "advanced"? <- not so easy question to answer)
The really elegant thing about the Arch philosophy is that it emphasizes pragmatism, therefore following the philosophy is pragmatic.

3 iOs 5 bugs no one seems to be talking about

I've noticed 3 bugs in iOs 5 that no one seems to be talking about.
1. Sometimes the setup personal hotspot toggle in settings will keep thinking even if you don't tap on it. I believe this contributes to the poor battery life. I've found the only way to stop this is to reboot with home & power buttons.
2. When playing a movie or music the fast forward/search toggle on top is unresponsive. It takes up to 5 times sometimes for it to pick up that my finger is on it, and by this time it's already skipped around so much that it's pointless.
3. This last one is more of an app compatibility issue. Google's search app times out and is useless now since opening Safari and using the search function in the corner works much faster.

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

What is iMovie talking about with this error message?

I have an iMovie 4 project that has been output to iDVD successfully some time ago from my G4 (Tiger 10.4.8). I recently copied it onto my iBook (600MHz - 10.4.8). When I try to insert an extra Title before a new footage clip I get the message - "You can't run this application from a read only disk." So I press OK and then I get "Error in system operation (-5000).
What is it talking about ?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks
Arnie

If you have two versions of the project available — one on the DVD and one on the hard disk — make absolutely sure you are opening the one on the hard disk. If iMovie is opening the last-opened project, it may be opening the project on the DVD.

From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

"My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

Questions About Verizon EDGE Plan???

So, me and my guy went into what we thought was a regular Verizon Store to ask about combining our accounts to save some money (we are engaged). My guy was having major issues with his Pantech Maruader and the sales person convinced him to get on the EDGE plan and get a Samsung Stratosphere II (he wanted a keyboard smartphone). I asked about when we could combine our accounts and he said any time. He suggested we do it on the 1st of next month though so the bill won't be huge. Well, I called up Verizon today to try to get a quote again since I had forgotten. They told me and also told me I didn't have to wait to get my guy on my plan. So I proceeded on the website to try to "add a line" and it wouldn't let me. We called customer service and they said an EDGE plan couldn't get under a non-EDGE plan and there was this"assumption of liability" phrase getting thrown around. I said I accept the assumption of liability and they said they still couldn't do it. If I wanted to connect to HIS plan I could but not vice-versa.
So I have heard all these different things and stories. And I wonder if he can just pay the balance off the phone and quit this EDGE plan and go back to the normal plan he had before, I believe the MORE EVERYTHING plan? Another guy at the "Verizon" store said we can't combine the accounts and that the EDGE plan just came available two days before he got the new phone and the plan. This was March 12, 2014. He also stated that they were very uninformed about the EDGE plan as employees and that the "Assumption of Liability" bit was told to them last week.
But from what I'm reading up here is that EDGE rolled out August last year???? So did I just get blantantly lied to so I wouldn't go off on the guy? I didn't act angry towards him or anything just went in there asking what were th options so we can combine our accounts. I want him under my account cause my job discount is bigger than his. He also stated that we could just pay off the phone and there would be no early termination fee and he could go back to his regular plan...then transfer to myaccount, is this true??
Please someone shed some light on these questions!!

We tried to go into the Verizon store on N. Main St. in Suffolk, VA. yesterday to pay off the phone balance and get out of the EDGE plan, do the AOL and get him under my plan. The Rep said we couldn't do that until it's been 30 days since he signed up for the plan. That will be on Saturday, but she said wait until Sunday just to make sure. So AGAIN I am getting a run-around. I am tired of this situation. Does Verizon not want $335 out of my pocket immediately?? I will be printing out this conversation and bringing it to the store again today. Also, I hope you are a real representive and not a robot, since the other store told me the other responses from a chat I had on this site was from a robot and basically blew off any of it's answers...
The original store btw is on Portsmouth Blvd. in Chesapeake, VA. They "state" they are an authorized Verizon dealer but they are NOT an official store. The REAL name of the store is WeRWireless and the address is 4300 Portsmouth, Blvd. #196, Chesapeake, VA. 23321
The store I will be going to tomorrow will be Verizon Wireless, 1202 N. Main St. #200, Suffolk, VA. 23434.
