Using non-alphanumeric signs in username

Friends of mine toke "M&M" as Username.
Could it be, that Leopard and other corresponding applications do have problems with the"&"?For example: iTunes is not able to read the content of the iPhoto-Library and for result iPod stopps syncing with error-50. Or: I can not choice a desktop-photo in my system-settings "user", because "user" is not able too, to interpretate the iPhoto-Library. I think, this might have something to do with the "&" in the path?!

In particular if the person is using TimeMachine, it is a very bad idea to use anything but standard characters and numbers. Even apostrophes and spaces can cause TimeMachine (and probably other apps) to not work properly.
It's also possible that some internet sites or network systems will reject such a name.

How to support non alphanumeric characters when using WORLD_LEXER?

BASIC_LEXER has an attribute of printjoins which we can specify the non alphanumberic characters as normal alphanumberic in query and included with the token. However, WORLD_LEXER doesn't have this attribute. So in order to use some non alphanumberic characters and treat them as alphanumberic characters in Oracle Text Index, such as ><$, what should I can?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I use WORLD_LEXER to create Oracle Text Index to support UTF-8.
Below is the script to create table and index:
REM Create table
CREATE TABLE my_test
( id VARCHAR2(32 BYTE) NOT NULL,
code VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "my_test_pk" PRIMARY KEY ("id"));
REM create index
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('stars_lexer','WORLD_LEXER');
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('stars_wordlist', 'BASIC_WORDLIST');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('stars_wordlist','substring_index','TRUE');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('stars_wordlist','PREFIX_INDEX','TRUE');
-- create index for Table corrosion level
CREATE INDEX my_test_index
ON my_test(code)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ('LEXER stars_lexer STOPLIST stars_stop WORDLIST stars_wordlist SYNC(EVERY "SYSDATE+5/1440") TRANSACTIONAL');
INSERT INTO my_test('1', 'English word1');
INSERT INTO my_test('2', '违违');
INSERT INTO my_test('3', '违违&^|违违');
When I query:
select * from corrosion_levels r where contains(r.CORROSION_LEVEL, '{%违${|违%}') > 0
ID CODE
3 违违$(|违违
2 违违
Actually, the result what I want is: 3 违违$(|违违
So the requirement is that all non-alphanumeric characters should be treated as normal alphanumeric charcters. Please tell me how to implement it.

Can non-Phone features be used w/o signing-up with a wireless plan?

Q1. Is signing-up for a wireless plan (with AT&T) a requirement for using non-Phone features such as Music, Video, Mail, Safari, Address Book, etc.?
I am not interested in the Phone feature, but am very much interested in using all the other features and using a Wi-Fi connection for Internet. Will I be able to use these non-Phone features without registering with AT&T (and paying $60/mth)?
Q2. Is USB 2.0 a minimum requirement, or can I sync with USB 1.1 (albeit at a very slow speed), since I have an old laptop that does not have USB 2.0?
Thanks,
Raj

Yes, the device will not operate without an AT&T service plan. You will not be able to use the iPod, iCal, etc. features without a plan. Even if you never intend to use the voice or EDGE data features.
From my direct experience, the device may or may not work with USB 1.1 ports. Of the 7 computers I've dealt with via a customer or in-person only 2 even recognized the iPhone and neither allowed a sync/activation.

Non-alphanumeric characters part of a word?

Hi,
When searching using "23" the users have complained that it brings back terms like 23:00 and www.bob.....html?q=23. It's a bit of a long stretch but is there anyway to disregards those item.
I expect I'll probably end up explaining to the users that non-alphanumeric characters are regarded in the same was as white spaces, but is this a general standard, and is there a link to more information anywhere?
Cheers

You could make your colon and equal sign printjoins or skipjoins.

How to discard non alphanumeric key in a string ?

Dear all,
To start an application that i have developped, i would like that the user write its password in the first panel but i want that each time that user enter a character in the string control Hide_Password (see attached picture), this one is automatically convert in a "." to hide the password . The real password is saved in a second string control. It is actually what my vi is doing by using a Key Up event. But now i want to prevent any non alphanumerical character to be enter in the password, especially i do not want that the user can press the menu key as <Ctrl>, <Shift>, <Alt>, <Command>, and <Option> and also the <Left>, <Up>, <Right>, <Down>. I suppose that i have to use Key Down? event by discarding all the key that i do not want but i am sure that there is a more easy way to do it.
Do you have any idea ?
Morover, If you think that there is something wrong in my vi, please let me know.
Thanks
Philippe

The real password is saved in a second string control.
One thing you shouldn't do is use a (hidden?) String control for data storage. Use the one control for data input (as a password as others have suggested) and pass the data throughout your program with a wire.

BUG: registered servers missing when password contains non-alphanumeric

I have a fresh installation of DS7 using Sun Java Web Server 7 to host DSCC7. Using DSCC7 web interface I click New Server and the procedure appears to complete successfully (no errors during creation, registration successful). However in the web interface the new server is not listed.
From the command line the new server is listed.
$ /opt/SUNWdsee7/bin/dsccreg list-servers
Hostname Port sPort Type Owner Flags iPath Description
www-c-directory 389 636 DS nobody /var/opt/SUNWdsee7/internal
Cause: the DSCC administrator's password contained non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. a left-angle bracket plus a few other punctuation characters) with about 10 characters in total.
Solution: from the web interface I navigated to Settings, Directory Service Managers, and changed the password for "admin" to a simpler password containing only alphanumeric characters.
Resolution: the registered servers now appear in the DSCC7 web interface as well as the command line. Oddly I can now return the password back to its original value and the servers still appear in the web interface.

Hot to set the Non-alphanumeric characters attribute?

Hello,
I'm developing an asp.net application using the oracle membership provider. I have installed the databse objects in an Oracle 9i and when I try to create a new user, It always asks me to consider at least 1 Non-alphanumeric character in the password, even if I put in the web.config file the minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" attribute. Is there another way to set the Non-alphanumeric characters to "0".
Thanks.

Workaround: set 0 for minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters attribute in your machine.config for OracleMembershipProvider. The defalt value is 1. The typical location of machine.config is in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG.

Why do imported non-alphanumeric characters get corrupted ?

(I asked this ages ago and it never got solved so I'm having another go).
When I import tracks to iTunes that I have titled myself (i.e. not from CDs or downloads), characters that are non-alphanumeric (e.g. " ? !) get corrupted to a _ on import.
Why is this bug occurring? (It's been around since iTunes 6 at least) and how do I stop it?

Look in Library/Fonts and yourusername/Library/Fonts for instances of the Lucida Grande font.
Some applications install their own version of Lucida Grande causing conflicts with the Apple version, which is installed with Mac OS X and resides in: System/Library/Fonts.
Because Lucida is used to display text in Mac OS X menus, buttons and the library lists of iTunes, they can get messed up as a result.
One particular app - and I would dearly like to know which one, changes the text in iTunes to Hebrew letters. Lots of posts here about that one.

RegEx in TSQL - replace non-alphanumeric characters etc

Hi guys, I have this function in VB that I used in Access to replace all non-alphanumeric characters, including spaces and anything in brackets.
Public Function charactersonly(inputString As String) As String
Dim RE As Object
Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RE.Pattern = "$[^)]+$|[^\w]|_"
RE.Global = True
charactersonly = RE.Replace(inputString, "")
Set RE = Nothing
End Function
Now, I moved to SQL server and I'm writing scripts to do same thing.
How can I use RegEx in TSQL?
Only thing I will do is that function.

As alternative
declare @string varchar(200)
set @string = 'gg$%^^&is%^& s2342jjk23&&({}e c76l232e+_+a#n/ c][#o''y#e'
select cast(cast((select substring(@string,n,1)
from numbers
where n <= len(@string)
and substring(@string,n,1) like '[0-9 ]' for xml path('')) as xml)as varchar(max))

Thunderbird stops being able to use a configured signing certificate after a period of time

OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Software: Thunderbird 31.4.0
Smart card software: ActivClient 6.2.0.196
PKI card: DoD CAC
My issue is that in Account Settings -> Security, I have my Government Signature Certificate set to sign e-mail. When I first start up Thunderbird and insert my CAC, I'm able to send signed e-mail without a problem. However, after some amount of time, I'll try to send an e-mail and get the following error:
"Sending of message failed.
You specified that this message should be digitally signed, but the application either failed to find the signing certificate specified in your Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, or the certificate has expired."
My CAC is still inserted and usable in other programs in Windows. When I check the Security settings, the correct certificate is still selected for signing. Though if I try Select the signing certificate again, I get the error: "Certificate Manager can't locate a valid certificate that can be used to digitally sign your messages."
When I view Security Devices, the CAC reader is still listed.
The only thing that seems to get it to work again is some trial-and-error with reinserting the CAC, clearing the certificates, and hitting Log Out for the CAC reader. If all else fails, just restarting Thunderbird entirely will do it.

Here's what you *can* do with ContentSeed. You can create a
'template' page
that acts like a super-include holder, and then you can
create bits of
content that are called into that one page. In this case,
there is no need
to create a NEW page, since you are just changing out
content. This is
called multiple seeds - check the site....

Fixed Assets Mid-Month rule using non-calendar fiscal months.

Our fiscal year variant is year dependent with twelve posting periods. For example, period 11 for fiscal year 2007 is defined as 29-Oct-07 through 25-Nov-07 and period 12 is defined as 26-Nov-07 through 31-Dec-07.
Fixed Asset depreciation keys MSTL and NA1 use period control 03 (Pro rata at mid-period). Period control 03 is currently not configured in our SAP development system. The IMG help text for Use of Half Months in the Company Code states that You cannot use half periods with non-calendar fiscal months.
How do USA companies configure mid-month depreciation keys (like MSTL and NA1) and mid-quarter depreciation keys when they use non-calendar fiscal months?

Mike,
Would be helfpul if you can describe how you resolved the above issue
Thanks.
