The way you handle user information is horrible

This is a good service. So why do I feel such a deep loathing whenever anyone asks me to skype with them? I've just figured it out. It's because I don't use skype often enough to remember some weird username that's nothing like my actual name, but everything similar to my name, including christiancasey86, is taken. Are people actually using every single one of these accounts? Why don't you just cancel inactive accounts after a certain time? Not being able to have a decent, memorable username is a big problem when you have to tell it to other people and remember it months later.
As if this weren't enough, the password requires a number. Of course! Surely hackers across the globe are warming up their brute-force password breakers to get into my skype account! Just fyi, no one is trying to figure out my password. What would they even get if they did? There's no way I will remember this weird password three months from now. Why don't you just let me use the password I want? I have a strong password. You would never guess it in a million years, and it doesn't contain any numbers. If you don't understand how this is possible, see the explanation here: [invalid URL] (This should be a link, but apparently nothing involving skype ever works).
The most frustrating part of it all is that I would like skype if it weren't for your ham-fisted approach to usernames and passwords.
Update: Having to make up a username to post this was the cherry on top. You guys really don't get it. Have you ever actually tried to use this yourself?

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

  • Will iOS 4 for iPad let you organize pictures the way you want?

    Hi,
    does anybody know whether the iOS 4 iPAD edition specs say anything about being able to organize pictures the way you want in the iPad?
    It currently sorts them with no options whatsoever either by date or by places.
    I want to be able to create my slideshows the way I want, not Apple.
    For now, I have to:
    1- rename each file in the order I want, say, from 01 to 80
    2- remove the entire EXIF info from each picture (so it doesn't have time stamps)
    3- use a "touch" utility to change all the file dates to (current date+ 1second X picture number)
    It's a bit hard and not accessible to the alpha user.
    It would be nice to have a "sequential" and a "alphabetic" order in the slideshow options, as well as ascending and descending parameters.
    Any clue?

    Hi,
    I already updated it this morning and moved the suffix as a prefix in order to get the iPad pictures grouped together instead of every other file. It's easier to select all iPad_pic01, iPad_pic02... files as they are together, rather than pic01_ipad, pic02_ipad,etc
    1. I suggest that you should post your program description and
    link as a brand new topic so that everyone with the same
    annoying problem can find it. I would call it something like
    "Photo Sort Problem SOLVED".
    I'll do that in a very short time, once I have enough feedback about the stability of the utility.
    2. The link you posted needs to have a .html at the end.
    Yeap. I'll correct the ipad directory to be redirected on the ipad.html file.
    3. Would it be possible for your program to handle some other image
    formats with EXIF tags, especially Png's?
    I'll check this. If my EXIF class handles them (it should also handle TIFF since Exif derives from TIFF), I will implement this a.s.a.p.
    4. Would it be possible to directly change the subject files instead
    of creating the _iPad copies? Perhaps as a user option?
    Yes, I'm working now to add this as an option:
    1) overwrite the original picture without backup copies (keeping the same name)
    2) prefix the file name with a string of your choice
    3) suffix the file name with a string of your choice
    Thanks for your input.

  • [svn] 4607: Change the way we handle setItemAt in DataGroup.. we now do it synchronously again.

    Log Message:
    Change the way we handle setItemAt in DataGroup..we now do it synchronously again. However, this has the consequence that, even temporarily, you are not allowed to have the save visual element listed twice in the data collection.
    Get parity with Halo behavior and Flash behavior by allowing addElement()/addElementAt() to be called on an element already in the list. When this happens just shift the indices around.
    Small ASDoc fix in GroupBase. Also, change the way we handle data being set int he default complex item renderer...this way we're not using binding, and the code is also easier to understand.
    QE Notes: Write tests for addElement/addElementAt on items already in the group.

    Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
    I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
    This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
    I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
    All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am  still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
    God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
    See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

  • Is there a picture organization app that will let you move pictures around the way you want?

    I need a recommendation for a picture organization app that will actually allow you to sort pictures the way you want and have them stay in that order.
    The native app just doesn't allow me to sort my pictures into what ever sequence I want them in.  Creating new folders is OK, finally being able to delete pictures from photo stream is great but I really want a finer level of control over the order in which my pictures are displayed.  I looked at iPhoto but it has lots of reviews that say it doesn't do this so I am looking for an app that will give me control of my albums and will allow me to sort my pictures the way I want them.

    Hi Thom_D,
    I have iPhoto and I have found that it works very well for me, organising photos etc. onto a pinboard type thing.
    Hope this helps!

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign?

    Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign? I need to replace some images but wondering if I'll need to reformat, resize, rename for the Advanced Action, etc.

    The work flow is a bit more complicated than in InDesign (keeps only a link to the image as you know in the frame). I understand the problem with the advanced/shared action references. This is my work flow, maybe someone else has an easier, shorter one:
    Right-click on the image and use 'Find in Library' or use CTRL-ALT-F if it works on your keyboard (doesn't on my AZERTY one)
    In the Library use the right-click menu to open the Properties or double-click the name of the image
    In that dialog box, choose 'Import' and choose your new image; for some reason you cannot choose from the Library however, which I find really sad because I'm used to import all assets to the Library.
    Drawback: if the new image has not the same width/height ratio, it will adapt to the original size of the image, you can use Edit image to repair. You'll keep the name of the image, you don't have to change advanced/shared actions.

  • Best way to handle user scaling/offsetting of channels?

    I have a "Channel Configuration" page in my program that I setup. The user can turn channels on or off for data acquisition. The user saves the channels (global variable), and then goes back to a Main Menu.
    Right now, if they want to add a channel or edit one, I'm having them go through MAX.
    I can deal with them having to add channels through MAX but I'm thinking of just integrating my own scaling. Having the user enter UNITS/VOLT and OFFSET. Then transfer those values via a global variable array to where I need them. Is there a VI Function that handle this scale? Or do I just need to get the individual data and store them in arrays. Does that make sense?
    I'm using SCC modules, PXI-6052E card, and L
    abview 6.1.
    Thanks!
    Lauren

    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for, but it sounds like you may want a VI that applies your scale. If so, there are a couple of VIs that will accomplish this for you. They are called 1D Linear Evaluation.vi and 2D Linear Evaluation.vi. These VIs apply a specified offset and scale to either a 1D or 2D array of data points. These VIs are located in the following palette. Functions >> Analyze >> Mathematics >> Array Operations. As for transferring the offset and scale values from the global, you will have to do that manually. I hope this information helps.

  • Best way to handle user access levels with spring.

    I'm a spring newb, and I'm not sure how to properly handle user access levels with a validation controller. There seems to be a lot of information out there about creating simple login validators but like I've said I need to create multiple levels of user access. I could throw something together but i want to do it correctly. Does anyone here have any links to resources or information they could provide?

  • How to see colors on my Mac the way a PC user sees them

    Hi all,
    I've been scouring the web to try and find a simple explanation of how best to calibrate color on my Mac so that photos that I edit there will appear properly when viewed on the web by a Windows user.
    I was working using a profile that made the images look great on the Mac (I think it was a Gamma of 1.8 and temperature of "Monitor Default"), but when I saw the images in IE6 on a Windows PC, they all looked dark and over-shadowed.
    So... now for the questions:
    (1) Is there a way to calibrate the monitor so it better represents what a PC user would see? (I've read that using the sRGB profile is close, but didn't know if there was a way to get even closer)
    (2) If you use Windows on an Intel Mac under either Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop, are the colors displayed the same way a PC user would see them? (I may be updating my PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and would want to have a "test environment" that could emulate PC colors).
    Thanks for your help!
    - John

    In Windows, the default gamma is a much darker 2.2 with a bright bluish white point of 6500K. Change your Mac's display profile to match those settings and the images you create under those settings should look much closer to how you see them on your Mac in Windows.
    Profiles are very important in RGB. They let color management software (Kodak in Windows, ColorSync in the Mac OS) know what to do with the image when you open it. That is, when the source and destination profiles don't match (both the monitor and image profiles), the software knows how to alter the image values so the picture looks close to the same on one computer as another. With no profiles embedded, the color management software can't determine the original color spaces. As such, how the images will display on any given monitor will vary slightly, or a lot. It all depends on how that monitor is set up. But this pertains more to color then overall contrast, though it does affect both.
    Some (not all) web browsers are aware of profiles. Safari is one. So even if your files have a gamma of 2.2, and a person visiting your web site has their monitor set to a 1.8 gamma, Safari can adjust the color of the images on the fly to have them view correctly by knowing the difference between the embedded image profiles and the user's monitor settings. It's not perfect, but works pretty well.
