Occasionally we have a department lunch. We also had a company BBQ, but nothing scheduled.In July we are bringing in Marble slab Ice cream. They come in and customize it for you with tons of toppings.

I've worked at some pretty big company's.
Each one on Friday fed all the employee's and some places I worked we had 3 floors and about 300 employees and i'm not talking cheap food either, one place had special catering.
Anyone's work place restarted this?

The good old swap Fn and Ctrl question

My H430 keyboard, like many Lenovo products, has the Ctrl and Fn keys swapped relative to the rest of the civilized computing world. Since I use keyboard shortcuts a lot when coding, this is a pain. Apparently the Thinkpad series has a BIOS option to swap the keys... but I don't see that option in the H430 BIOS.
Of course I can buy a real keyboard and take the Lenovo one to Goodwill, but I did pay money for the Lenovo version.
(Yes, I've read the explanation: in 1992 a highly-placed Macaque monkey in Lenovo's design department swapped the keys, and ever since then Lenovo has believed that some gadget of their own devising is more important than user ergonomics. Apparantly the Macaque monkey clique remains in control... )
Anyway: shall I go and get a new keyboard, or is there an easy way to make Lenovo's compatible with society?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From Wikipedia:
There is not yet an agreed standard for the placement of the Fn key. It is usually placed adjacent to the left Control key, shrinking and displacing it in the process. The control key is most frequently associated with handy modifier keystrokes such as cut-and-paste, or application shortcuts such as control-s to save. The wide control key on a full size IBM PC keyboard layout allows users to become accustomed to using either the left or right side of the key for these shortcuts. In turn, shrinking and displacing it either to the left or the right causes considerable user-annoyance for a set of users....Further aggravating the situation is the fact that the Fn key is a hardware meta-key which is not remappable through operating system level keyboard remapping tools, ...
Most manufacturers today have shrunk and displaced the control key to the lower-left corner of the keyboard, placing Fn to its right. This includes most laptops from HP, Dell, Samsung, and Lenovo Ideapads.
Lenovo Thinkpads place the Fn key in the lower left, displacing control to the right. However, unlike most other manufacturers, the control key remains an oversize key. Keyboards have been a strong source of loyalty for the brand due to both feel and layout, especially among highly technical users, and Thinkpad keyboards are highly regarded as some of the best laptop keyboards. However, their Fn key placement is sometimes a sticking point for users of other brands.
Apple Laptops place Fn in the lower-left and shrink control to the right. However, Apple's OS X is somewhat less sensitive to control key shrinking, as it uses the Command-key for many common modifiers, making text-copy the PC keyboard equivalent of Alt-C instead of Ctrl-C.
As an aside, I never noticed before but my Mac does indeed have the Fn key at the outside bottom corner, with the Ctrl to the right.
So a replacement of the L. keyboard may be one solution. However, dmille writes (in topic "Access Lenovo H430 BIOS with non-Lenovo keyboard") that after replacing the Lenovo keyboard with another one it became impossible to access the BIOS with the F1 key.
Does Lenovo use a non-standard keyboard microcontroller interface, thus making it harder to swap out with an aftermarket keyboard? Huh!
Well, a purely mechanical solution to the problem of hitting the Fn key by mistake would be to pry the key up and drop some glue underneath. That ought to turn it into a stationary finger-rest.
I'll pick up a couple of keyboards at a used-PC shop and see if the F1-key disable problem crops up for me too. And I'll probably alter the Lenovo keyboard -- it's a huge annoyance to highlight a chunk of code and then, by hitting the Fn key by mistake, erase the whole thing. (Undo is your friend -- but it's still a pain.)

Reports 10g vs the good old days

Having been running reports from forms since the good/old client-server days, reports 10g is both a blessing and a curse. While it's certainly nice not to have to install software on each and every client box, since reports are now kept in cache on the middle tier app server until the cache hits its max size limitation, other users can issue a ?getjobid=nnn and just fish around for reports that others have run. In the good old days, a user would run a report locally on their desktop, that could be printed, and no one else could look at it. Does anyone out there know how or if a report run on the app server can be run just for the user who has access to it, and not be available to anyone who is "fishing" with getjobid? I'd really like to specify, if I could that the report be cached for just a few minutes. Essentially most of our users generate reports only needed by them and they are very dynamic in nature, so storing them isn't really necessary. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.

Use the EXPIRATION parameter to specify how long a report is kept in the cache. See the online help.

What useful features am I loosing keeping the good old IOS 6.13 on iPad 2?

Guys, I'm quite confused to keep the good old 6.13 IOS for my iPad 2 or upgrade to 8.1?
What I know;
IOS 6.13;
-looks better, faster, maybe gives longer battery life
IOS 8.1;
-new features, but what? I heard airdrop not even working on iPad 2.
My second device is iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1. Are they doing something better together if both of them are on 8.1?

Thanks for the input.

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

The new firefox 33.1 and 34 are not compatible with my school Blackboard account

I have used Firefox since it was first introduced. I prefer it to MS Explorer. However the new Firefox, 33.1 and 34 are not compatible with my school Blackboard account, so I had to delete Firefox and use Explorer. I would prefer to use Firefox. Is an earlier version (Prior to 33.1) still available?

It's been a few years since we have had many questions about Blackboard compatibility with Firefox, but overall the problems in that past had to do with either Blackboard not updating in a timely manner ''[which I don't think is the case any longer]'' OR the school wasn't running the latest version of Blackboard software ''[which considering the current state of many government budgets, may be the case now.]''.
''It appears that - http://www.blackboard.com/ - is a new or greatly modified website, as the bookmarks I have saved for reference pages on their website come as 404, so I can't find the information I have used in the past.''
My advice is to install Firefox Portable ESR to your hard drive for use at that Blackboard website and continue to use Firefox 34 for other purposes. The "portable" version will instal and use a Profile that is totally separate from your regular Firefox installation - so you can have two separate Firefox versions installed without any problems.

I bought a used iphone. I installed ios 7 before I realized that the previous owner's email and password are still in the phone. How can I remove them so that I can use the icloud and "find my phone" feature?

Thanks so much! It will be kinda weird to contact the person directly, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anything that I can refer her to in this discussion to let her know I am legit, and not a creeper? Also, I don't know if you can answer this or not. When I plug my phone into itunes, and it says that it is backing up, does that mean that it is going into the other person's cloud, since I cannot access it?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,
GB

Hi,
Table pools are special table types in the ABAP Dictionary. The data from several different tables can be stored together in a table pool or table cluster. Tables assigned to a table pool or table cluster are referred to as pooled tables or cluster tables.
This table are similar to the CLUSTER table types but these work on "LINEAR SEARCH" while CLUSTER TABLE uses "BINARY SEARCH to retrieve the data from the various tables and thsi is mainly used in the logical databases "LDB's" used in HR or ABAP-HR.
A table in the database in which all records from the pooled tables assigned to the table pool are stored corresponds to a table pool.
The definition of a pool consists essentially of two key fields (Tabname and Varkey) and a long argument field (Vardata).
Table Clusters Several logical data records from different cluster tables can be stored together in one physical
record in a table cluster.
A cluster key consists of a series of freely definable key fields and a field (Pageno) for distinguishing continuation records. A cluster also contains a long field (Vardata) that contains the contents of the data fields of the cluster tables for this key. If the data does not fit into the long field, continuation records are created. Control information on the structure of the data string is still written at the beginning of the Vardata field.

Samad.

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?
