Thunderbird opening chromium but need to use switches

I have no problem opening chromium with links in Thunderbird. However, I would like to open the chromium browser with switches (which specify a ram disk for cache and size- performance tweaks), which don't seem to work (nothing happens whenever I add a -switch). I tried to make a pointer file called "chrome" in /usr/bin/ containing the switches, which works everywhere except with Thunderbird. Is there a way to get Thunderbird to open Chromium while using switches?
I don't think there are any global settings for things like this in chromium, that would also solve this problem...
Thanks for any help,

Does it work if you change the value of these to include the flags?

Generate image with CFIMAGE - but need to use img tag to serve the content

I create a new image with cfimage, that already works without
any problems.
But instead of using the action="writetobrowser" I need to be
able to use the script inside a img tag:
Example: <img
src="myscript.cfm?somedata=iwanttheimagetocreate>
I found one webpage that deals with that problem (
http://www.webdevelopernews.com/2007/09/14/serving-up-cfimages-via-image-tags/)
but the image served to the browser, when using the code below, is
of a very low quality and another point is that you can't serve
.gif's to the browser.
<cfcontent type="image/jpg"
variable="#ImageGetBlob(backgroundimage)#">
Any suggestions/solutions?
Thanks,
Phil

In that entry Raymond mentions:
"The WriteToBrowser action actually generates HTML that points
to a ‘magic’ URL to serve the image.". ie <img
src="/CFFileServlet/_cf_image/_cfimg-12345036853711072.PNG" alt=""
/>
Perhaps you could create a function that captures the
generated html by using <cfsavecontent>.
<cfsavecontent variable="imageTagHTML">
<cfimage action="writeToBrower" ..>
</cfsavecontent>
Then uses a regular expression to extract and return the url
portion only. ie
"/CFFileServlet/_cf_image/_cfimg-12345036853711072.PNG"
<cfset ExtractedURLHere = SomeFunction(arguments...)>
<cfoutput><img
src="#ExtractedURLHere#"></cfoutput>
Though you could also use the entire html string directly
<cfoutput>#imageTagHTML#</cfoutput>

BlendModes of parent overriding children, but need to use parenting. Help!

This is an age-old question, I know. But I am working on my first large-scale 3D flash project, which requires me (at least with the knowledge that I have) to do a lot of movieclip parenting in order to make it easy to move and rotate a large number of objects in 3D together, and around common anchor points. But the problem with this of course is that you can't have individual or different blendModes of movieclips with one or several parents. So what is my solution? I need independent blendModes, but I also need to use parents/children unless there is another way in Flash to animate a large number of movieclips around as if they were grouped together (obviously myMC.x = myOtherMC.x + 20; is not hard, my concern is having two movieclips rotate around a common point).
So my question is this. How can I have independent blendModes and be able to easily animate objects in 3D? I've searched and searched and found nothing beyond "Well don't use parents then if you need blendingModes." I have to not be the only person the planet with this problem. What's the solution? Either there is a way to force or pass-through blendModes of children, or there is a way to animate a number of movieclips together without parenting them to something (the easiest way).
Thanks!

William,
Many thanks for your response! First, let me say that I've watched many of your instructional videos. They've been incredibly helpful and I'm grateful you've made them available!
Second, that pretty much is my set up! I've taken some screen shots... maybe there is another way or I am missing something obvious.
This is how I want it to look when the user clicks the main help icon:
They click on Advising or Events Management and get a list of all the documentation available:
The two topics above are in my Parent project: EXi Help Hub
which has Introduction.htm as its start page and default topic (similar to Index.htm)
I created the link to the child project by highlighting Basic Features Online Help, right-clicking, and selecting add a hyperlink, then using the file browser,
Browsed to the child project (CM) and selected its start page and default topic, which is also Introduction.htm (similar to your example above only we use just introduction as opposed to index, but if changing the name to index will remedy the issue, I'll do it in a heartbeat))
After compiling it didn't make the path relative. So I updated it to .../CM/Introduction.htm
Still didn't work...
What am I missing? Is there a better way to accomplish this? We'll need separate projects for each software component and our product is being designed for responsive design so the help needs to be as well. Part of the reason we went with the RH11 upgrade.
Again, many kind thanks for your time and help!!!

Can't open iphoto: but I never used a later version?

Hi everyone,
I can't open iphoto now, it gives me some message about how I've edited my photos in a more recent version and thus need to update the software on my computer. The odd thing is that I've not been working in any other versions of iphoto or updated my computer in any way. It's like iphoto was working one day and not the next. I'm really scratching my head, now. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Connecting apple tv2 to a projector, but need to use optical from apple tv to connect to something, to get sound.. What do I buy

Ive got an apple tv, and a new hd projecter. I've now got a huge lovely picture on the wall, but I've zero sound.... The projector has no output for sound, and is conected by hdmi...which leaves me with one option. Using the optical out from apple tv, now i have no idea. Will this optical output work when hdmi is sending sound to projector ? What I need is the best option to use optical out.. I would have prefered a simple phono out, and then I can plug into a big active speaker im using in the room, I owne nothing with optical connections... So what do buy ? Ric

Ok, I will ask the question in another way... My apple tv has one hdmi, and it goes to my hd projecter.. But projecter has no speakers, and as a result I've no sound at the moment. I am looking for a clear direction to go in, to solve lack the of any sound.. My only option seems to be, using the optical out from the apple tv.. I don't have any equipment with this conecter. And I've never used optical before.. If i buy an, optical to twin phono converter and then I can plug into a large powered speaker I've got in my living room. And I will have big sound easily..?? Do I have any other reasonable options for optical enabled speakers, or AirPlay speakers or something simple I'm not aware of that will give me sound easily.. I don't want a messy 5:1 system, my house is very tidy, and I want to keep it that way. . Only having this optical out is frustrating, and I need to get my head round the options I have. Anyone understand from experience how to use the optical apple tv out. Also, not using anything but apple tv, no dvds, or tv , just apple tv and my ipad.. Is very quiet in my home right now though. Ric

Column Security - Users can't see it, but need to use it in the query WHERE Clause

I am looking at possible solutions (if any) on column security. We need to be able to restrict users from seeing certain columns, however, they will need these columns in the WHERE clause of queries.
I thought about creating views, however, it would be a poor database design. Is there any way that this can be done on the database level. I know about Fine Granular Access Method, however, this just excludes the column completely. Which means that they can not be used in the WHERE clause.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

I use ALSA but need to use a program that only supports OSS

Specifically, TeamSpeak2
It is very antiquated and as far as I can tell it will only support OSS with /dev/dsp. I read the OSS wiki and the first steps seem to make it clear that ALSA and OSS won't peacefully co-exist. Is there any simple way to get this working? I only need the sound output, not worried about mic input for now.

Splex wrote:You need to enable dmix to have alsa mix the multiple outputs together.
IIRC, alsa will supposively enable dmix by default for cards that don't support hardware mixing.. if you have a /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc it may be causing ALSA to stray from the default...
if that isn't the case, you can manually enable dmix by creating/editing the /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc to something like this:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix#6._The_com … ameters.29
I put that in ~/.asoundrc and it didn't seem to work. Additionally, with that in my .asoundrc, alsamixer refuses to start and gives me a bunch of errors about invalid configuration.

I am so tired of iphoto crashing, losing work I've done. I want to switch to photoshop elements 10 but need to know if it uses the iphoto library or if I can import that library into elements

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

It's almost certainly too late.
The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe. After a catastrophe, it's too late.

I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

Well, it depends on what ISP you use.
Reply back with your ISP and connection type (cable, ADSL). Also, do you use an ISP router or do you have a modem connected to a router that you provide?
