/ usage questions...

Hello.
I have 2 questions:
1. I have noticed that my / partition's used space increased by ~10M from the last time I've checked it, from 111M to 121M. What could be the cause of that? (see the info below...)
2. The output of df and du is not what I am expecting it to be. I.e. there are differences between the disk usage reported by these 2 commands on the / partition. What could be the cause of this? (see the info below...)
Any reply or any RTFM re-dirrectioning is appreciated.
TIA

The PC was indeed turned off between the two checks.
However the first check was not performed right before the shutdown, but few hours before it.

(...) varying from browser cache data increase to a cronjob like updatedb, or even you installing or downloading something.
When I've read these words I have started to "scroll" back in my memory buffer and eventually I've remembered that the only thing I did as superuser was to download some Firefox extensions which (surprise or not...) summed up to ~12M.
So we have the answer for this one too thanks to your hints
PS: That's exactly the reason why I've made a small / partition - to keep a close eye on it's usage and to ring some allarms when needed.
Again, thank you.

CPU Usage Question between Premier and Media Encoder

Hey guys,
Here is the question. I just built a new machine with the following specs:
Intel i7 2.66GHz process overclocked to 3.2GHz
12GB Memory
Nvidia 260 Overclocked video card.
When I export a video from Adobe Premier into Media Encoder, all 8 cores peg out at 100% and thus my CPU temp get hot really quick (78 - 80 degrees Celsius)
Now if I take the same original video file and just drag it into Media Encoder, my 8 cores only show about 24-40% usage and the temp only gets to around 55-60 degrees Celsius.
What is causing such a big difference in CPU usage? I'm afraid to use Adobe Premier as it causes the CPUs to max out everytime. I want to edit my videos, but as stuck with just using AME on the original files.

I suspect its simply because in the first case Pr and AME are both running. In the later, just ame loading the Pr project. In the forst case two projects are running simultaneously, the one in Pr and a temp copy in AME.
But more troublesome to me is why youve built a system that cant be maxed out. IN editing, we Want the CPUs to peg to process as fast as possible. IMHO; You should re-think the design of your workstation if it overheats so easily.

Widget RAM usage Question

Some questions of Widgets and RAM usage:
a) when you close dashboard/widget RAM usage eventually drops to zero?
b) when you de-activate widgets, do they use any RAM even if you activate Dashboard?
c) anyone have experience with that 'turn widgets on at login' app? RAM usage?
THanks.

Hello,
As far as I know and having recently been testing on my own machines, Widgets do seem to play a pretty big role in RAM usage.
Strangely enough, I've noticed it on my G5 the most (probably because I use it more), that when Widgets are off, everything seems qiute a bit more snappy...apps launch MUCH faster, and actions take less time.
I really like Widgets for the most part, but there seem to be memory leaks the longer they're enabled, and the longer the machine is up and running.
Relaunching the dock seems to work SOME of the time...restarting seems to always work.
You can view what's going on in the Activity Monitor, located in your Utilities folder.
You can disable Widgets by this method in the Terminal:
To turn Dashboard off:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
To turn Dashboard on:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
You have to restart the Dock after making either change for it to take effect:
killall Dock
or Onyx has this ability.
After doing this I would suggest a restart just to make sure.
After doing so, launch Activity Monitor to see your free RAM.
Hope this was helpful.

Final Cut Server Usage Question...

I have just started researching this product and confused a little about it. I am the IT dept at a small advertising agency that does quite bit of video work.
Mostly all of the workstation in the office are PowerMac G5's that clock in at dual 2.2GHz or above with 4GB of RAM
We also have an Xserve G5 (Dual) with 4GB of RAM a 2GB fibre card installed and an apple RAID system as well. The office is all wired with 10/100.
With final cut server - will they be able to actullay edit video over the network on the RAID through the Xserve. Is that what this software is for? Sorry for such a lame question. If not is this basically like Adobe's Bridge application?
Let me know.

Yes it does do basically what your saying, You can leave the source media on the server and just edit from your local machine. You can also download proxies (lower res version of the source media) and edit on a laptop or with a PC without having to move the large source files.
I cant imagine any reason why any company or small business using more than one editing machine wouldn't go for this solution
Does that answer your question?

Sleep usage question - not problem

Sleep seems to work differntly on my new iMac compared to my old G4 FP iMac.
Question - are these observations below normal?
1. When I used to put my G4 to sleep (by clicking apple/sleep), my G4 would seem to more completely sleep. Even my external Lacie firewire drive wuold turn off its light and shut down. But with my intel iMac, the light on the external drive does not turn off.
2. It seems like the iMac fan is still running after putting it to sleep. When I check the next morning the iMac still seems warm/hot with the fan still running(though amost silently).
3. Also I notice that my G4 would provide the stobing light only when the computer was put to sleep, if the monitor alone was sleeping the strobing light would not flash, but with the intel iMac the strobing light will flash if the monitor has timed to sleep, but the computer has not.
4. I'd also note that I have the preference set to allow hard drive to sleep. And I do find that I can hear the hard drive starting up again (especially the firewire drive) after not using the drive for a while. Nevertheless, the firewire drive light is on all the time.
Thanks for any comments,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Yes, it seems the light (steady or pulsing) "tasks" have changed since the G4 iMacs.
See here:
- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58016
So it may very well be different again with the new Core Duo iMacs?
Of course your computer is awake and works, if it's only the display sleeping.

The usage question of inputComboboxListOfValues

1.Can I disable the popup search on inputComboboxListOfValues ?
2.I set the items attribute according to Tag reference,but it seems not work.
I add items="#{backingBeanScope.backing_LOVSuggestion.allItems}" the List contains javax.faces.model.SelectItem ,But Jdev said the items attribute is deprecated,so that means I can't use it,I must implement the inputOfValuesModel? I study the adf demo, it seems a little complex,I only need a suggestion hints and construct the list from managed bean,and not need the popup search.
3.each time I click the combox down arrow,I find the backing bean construction method is called, I bind the combox to the backing bean's attribute. I think the construction method will only be called once during the page construction,but it not.What the lifecycle is it ? or my configuration is wrong ?

ey finally I've succeded into lauching something from
a telnet session. Now my question is, how to make it
run permanently, even if I leave my telnet session ?Assuming the server is UNIX, "nohup java Foo &" will do the job.
"nohup" tells the system not to shut it down when you exit.
The "&" tells the system to put the program into the background.

The new Yosemite Photos app local storage usage question

Hi,
Did anyone check the local storage usage for the new Photos on Yosemite?
How much space does it take for all the lores photos locally if the originals are stored in iCloud.
Lets say if 100GB of RAW files are migrated from Aperture in to Photos to cloud. This should be 100GB in the cloud and how much on OS X?
Can a RAW file still be downloaded from cloud later or are they transformed to jpgs once uploaded?
What if there is not enough storage for all lores photos on iOS or OS X representing all the original iCloud photos?
I'm really puzzled about this.
Thanks

I just installed the Yosemite upgrade with Photos. I don't use Aperture of the iCloud, but the iPhotos library migrated with about the same disk space, but it is doubled, because the old iPhoto library is still on disk.

EventHandler - Basic usage question

Hi,
I have a very simple question (so it seems) about java.beans.EventHandler
How does it work???
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.beans.*;
class TestGUI extends JFrame {
    TestGUI() {
         JButton b = new JButton("Press");
         getContentPane().add(b);
         b.addActionListener((ActionListener)
              EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, this, "test")
        pack();
        show();
    public void test() {
         System.out.println("Ok!");
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestGUI().setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}It won't find the "test" method, and throws an exception (an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, interestingly, but that is just a bug on EventHandler part) . What am I missing? I've searched the forums and seen quite many posts with about the same question - but without replies.
Thanks

That is rather interseting, I guess. I used this code, and everything worked fine. I really don't see a difference 'tween what I did and what you did...:
public class EHTest extends JFrame
     EHTest()
          super("EHTest");
          JPanel left = new JPanel();
          left.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,0));
          JButton[] buttons = new JButton[6];
          for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
               buttons[i] = new JButton("Button: "+i);
               buttons.addActionListener((ActionListener)
                              EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, this, "doSomething"));
               left.add(buttons[i]);
          setContentPane(left);
          pack();
          setVisible(true);
     public void doSomething()
          System.out.println("Something");
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new EHTest();

Regular expression usage question

Hi there.
I have a 200 bytes EBCDIC variable record which I need to break down into fields. Fields are positional and are either text, binary numbers, packed-decimal and 64bytes long numbers.
My question is. Can regular expression handle this complex data.
I want to isolate each field into their corresponding format. EBCDIC into ASCII text, binary into java Integer and so on.
The reason for using reqular expression is because the record format could change and regular expression would be easier to modify without having to change the code.
Your words of advice are highly appreciated.
Please advice.
Regards,
Ulises

Regular expressions? I don't think so.
If you have a situation where positions 1-3 might be a binary number like client number, and the format might change so it moves to positions 12-14, then you could certainly write a record-format class to encapsulate that sort of information. In fact that would be a very good idea. But I can't imagine how a regular expression would help in getting a number out of three bytes, for example.

About the hosts file (syntax/usage question)

Hi,
I am trying to block a handful of different websites that I do not want my daughter to use right now. I would like to use the hosts file to do this. Although I have basic familiarity with the hosts file and editing it, I am not completely certain as to how it works and how DNS works. If I want to, for example, block "yahoo.com" and all of its subdomains, would the following be an acceptable/valid entry?
127.0.0.1 *.yahoo.com
By not listing the subdomains of "yahoo.com", would that make it any liklier for those webpages to get through? If I were to also list out all of the "yahoo.com" subdomains that I have knowledge of along with the previous entry, would that cause any problems?
And the second part of my question is: Is the hosts file ever not top priority in lookup (on OS X 10.6.8, if it matters); and if so, is there a good way to make it always first?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Michael

Use parental controls, maybe Dnsmasq, or a nanny-capable firewall-gateway-router box that's been configured on the edge of your network.
The /etc/hosts file also has specific sequence to get it reloaded; that file is read once and subsequenty cached. IIRC, you need to either /sudo dscacheutil -flushcache/ or /sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder/ the DNS resolver.
If your child is technically inclined, or knows how to do basic internet research, or has discussions with the more nerd-ish among her peers, your child can learn how to bypass /etc/hosts and Dnsmasq using her own DNS translations, or with her own DNS services. That possibility would point toward either parental controls (easy), or the firewall-gateway-router box (added cost, but can block some or all systems on your local network).
Here's how easy it is to bypass the /etc/hosts block; launch Terminal.app and issue the equivalent of:
dig +short @8.8.8.8 host.example.com
for the host.example.com host that you're (she's) interested in. (There are other commands that can be used; more than just dig can be used here, and there are web sites that can perform this translation for you.) Then connect to the IP address that this command emits. Your /etc/hosts block will not prevent this, and will not block this.
If your daughter is somewhat more technically savvy, a VPN will bypass the /etc/hosts blocks. She'll need access to a VPN server, and those are available from various free and very low-cost sources...

Mifi billing usage question

Dumb question... But if just leave my Mifi on all the time acting as my in house wifi.. I'm only billed if i'm actually on right? It's not considered "on" unless I'm actually searching or whatever right?

Dear Skyline,
Good afternoon. I am sorry to hear you are looking to change carriers. We value you as a customer and certainly do not want to lose you. What's making you want to change carriers? Is there anything we can help with?
When cancelling service, it is always set to cancel at the end your bill cycle date. This is to to avoid any overage that may be caused by a prorated bill. Verizon Wireless bills a month in advance, so you have already been billed for service up until the end of the current bill cycle. This will allow your final bill to have a zero balance as long as there is no overage or cancellation fee.
Please let us know if there is anything we can help with in retaining our wireless relationship for many more years to come.
Thank You,

Ellipses 7 Battery usage Question

Why does so much battery drain come from "Cell Standby" when the device will not make calls?

I went through the same problems on my Motorola Droid Mini with 4.4.2. The battery drains in hours in sleep mode, the processing is so slow you can barely type on it. Even with data usage turned off under Battery you can see cellular usage is the top user. All I can say is the battery usage should get much better if they send out a 4.4.4 update. I don't know if it will be as good as it was before 4.4.2 but my Mini got better.
There are quite a few problems with 4.4.2 that I have seen and I don't use it for much because of this. I do emails and some light browsing, which can still be difficult with the bogged down speed.
Just a few that I've noticed.
The Chrome browser bookmark widgits constantly disappear from the screen.
The email app lost the Select All ability which really helps with junk folders.
"Everything", and I mean everything works slower.
I don't know if 4.4.4 will or should allow installing apps to the SD card because my Droid Mini doesn't accept cards.
Verizon, tell whoever it is to hurry up with 4.4.4, or anything better!

Fds.swc usage question

FlashBuilder 4 can autogenerate code that uses fds.swc to enable paging for datagrid. However, fds.swc contains classes that are livecycle specific.
My dev team has copies of FlashBuilder 4, but also we choose to use IntelliJ Idea for Flex development as well. So once the data paging auto-generated code has been created from Flash Builder 4, is there anything (legally or technically) preventing us from using that code outside of FB4? Or another way to phrase it would be: is the fds.swc to be used only within FB4, since it's not part of the open source Flex 4 SDK?
My original question can be found here at the Blazeds forum.
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
I am using my Apple keyboard, so I will have to go with the second one. But I am having problems drawing the curve! Can you give me instructions, please? When I click and drag there is just a selection box and if I click, nothing happens!

Power Draw Usage Question?

I am not sure this is the right forum for this question, but it seems like the best bet. I am looking for a Mac that can at least run 10.4 and be left on 24/7. The computer will not be allowed to go into standby nor power down its hard drive.
I am looking for the lowest power draw possible as processor performance is not an issue in this application. I think the Mac Mini is the likely candidate, but I was wondering if there are older Macs (Cube?) with lower power draw, or maybe I am better off with a laptop with the screen turned off.
Any ideas?
Todd

HTMLB Link usage, question

I am new to HTMLB, question
   Button myButton = new Button("submitButton");
   myButton.setOnClick("sendName");
   myButton.setText("Go to Yahoo");
   myButton.setTooltip("Click here to go to Yahoo.");
the implementation of onSendName
public void onSendName(Event myName) throws PageException {
           String url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
           Link lk = new Link("mylink", "yahoo");
           lk.setReference("http://www.yahoo.com");
           lk.setTarget("_blank");
                  ??????? now what???
                 //How do I get to the link?
                 Please help fill in, appreciate:
   If this is the not the right way, any other way to achieve this?
thanks much.
Dave Wang

Yes, Eric, thanks for the answer. in this case. I can substitute the button with a link. But
In another scenario, I have a tableview, then every cell clicked will lead to a url generated based on the content of the table cell,
for example, cell(1,2)="userABC", onCellClick() funciton will generate a Link to: "http://xxx?userid=userABC". When user clicks cell(1,2), it should go to the generated URL.
It would be great if I can generate the link then direct the browser to the URL at onCellClick().
How do I handle this case?
thanks for any suggestions.
