Very random question, but important

I've bought a new MacBook Pro to take on an upcoming deployment overseas. Needless to say its going to be quite dusty there, and its an extremely fine dust, almost like powder. It gets everywhere. I'm going to buy a pelican case for storage when I'm not using it, but want to do everything I can to make sure it is well protected while I am using it....
Do you think it would be safe and/or a good idea to cover the ports and the DVD slot with electrical tape while I am using the MBP to help keep the dust out? Would electrical tape over the slot interfere with an already inserted disk? My instinct is that it would not affect the MBP, but I thought I'd ask around.

I doubt it will cause any issues. However it would probably be better to copy/RIP the disks you want to use rather than having them spin in a dusty environment- the lens comes very close to the disk and dust can cause scratches in both the lens and the disk. You'll never keep it all out.
The biggest dust trap is going to be the keyboard. There are several keyboard cover options that I'd consider- just do a google search.

Script Language Translation - Very Common Question, but unable to resolve !

Hi Gurus,
I know this is very common question, but I am stuck, unable to get this one resolved.
Need to translate sap script "TEXT SYMBOLS" from "English" to "French".
Have maintained language translation text symbol values in table TTDTG.
But when i login through French language, these are still getting printed in English !!
Any Pointers to resolve this will be of great help.
Many Thanks,
Madan

hi
1) Copy the Script into FR language and then change the Corresponding ENGLISH text to FRENCH text.
2) Pass ur logon langauge in the OPEN_FORM FM Import parameters
LANGUAGE = sy-langu.
so that whatever is ur logon langauge it corresponding Form will be called.

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

This is a very simple question,but I don't know.Please me.Thank you!

I am a Chinese student in a university.I have a very simple question to ask.
I have writed a EJB module,and I have deployed to Weblogic8.1 successfully.
1.Now I want to write a client program.Is it necessary that the client program is packaged in the EJB package.For example ,the EJB package is Beans,is "package Beans " or "import Beans.*" necessary in my client program.
2.If I only know the EJB interfaces,that means the EJB module is writed by other programer.I want to know how I can write the client program.How can I call EJB module's method writed by other programer.Could you give me a simple example?
Thank you very much.

System.out.println("Hello,"+yourname);
copy from the corejava book, but its not work, i feel strange. also, corejava book said that need to import corejava.*; but i copy and run it in jcreator, so i remove the import corejava.*.
Who can help me? it is too simple and embrass me.

I am not familiar with the corejava book, but here is an example that will work without any extra libraries, and will probably be more help to you in the long run.
import java.io.*;

VERY basic question but I haven't found a good example...

I've been trying to figure out how to make one big project using class files to break the big project down into several small projects. I can't seem to find a good explanation of how to make one class file recognize another.
Hell, I'll even throw in a Duke Dollar because I know this should be totally obvious to me...

Hi. Well yes this is quite simple, but we all have our problems :) Breaking down a program into classes is very good for security reasons and productivity. All that you should do is take all of your MAJOR "methods" and place them in a class file by itself :
public class MyMethods
(your methods)
Then in your MAIN class you just use those class files as objects :
public class MyMainClass extends MyMethods
public static void main(String args[])
MyMethods.MyMethod();
and just keep doing that. Normally in java you have a main class file like the one i just showed u and one or several other class files that contain all of your methods that makes your program run. You just use your class files as objects which is a big thing that Java is about, "object oriented programming", but of course u must extend the class, as I showed. Extending makes everything that you have in that class file , "come" into that file.
Hope that helps, I need that 1 duke dollar :)

Very simple question - but cant find anything to do this! (other than a full proxy server)

Simple one for everyone who has kids... I run a wrt54gs, v1.50.9 wireless network in my house. I have 2 teenage kids both with laptops...
I'd like to be able to see what sites they're browsing (ie firewall logs) - but without installing something like 'netnanny ' on each laptop (there apears to be a log setup on the router but doesnt record anything let alone outgoing traffic)
I know I can bar sites through the setup...but does anyone know of any app that will record from the router, who's looked at what site?,,,so I know (quietly!) what they're looking at?
Cheers.

Very stupid question, but i need answer

how do i delete music from my ipod >.<
plz answer

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
There are also a couple of ways that do not involved deleting from iTunes. The default iPod setting is automatically update with iTunes when connected. You can keep the automatically update setting and select "automatically update selected playlists only" then all you need to do is remove the song from the chosen playlist(s) and update, it remains in your library should you want to add it in future.
Another way but more difficult to manage is to choose the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences. By un-checking a song in iTunes, it will not be updated to the iPod and if already on the iPod, unchecking the song in iTunes will remove it from the iPod during the next update with iTunes.

TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

this is an apple generated message. simple!
what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

Very beginner POI and import question

I am reasearching/playing around with the Jakarta POI. My boss would like to load word docs/xls into the database in binary form - he then wants to display them Read Only to the end users. He suggested that I look into using the POI.
I've been reasearching the forums here and google but I havent found a great example implementing this. Everything I have found is way way over my head. Could someone point me to a very simple example of doing this? Or give me a very basic skeleton of what I would need to do to just open a word doc - I am trying to use this time to teach myself how to use/read the API(poi) - if that makes any sense...
Secondly - while I was reading on POI I ran across this: import java.io.*; // don't ever do this...done to save space I know it says it is to save space but is that because it imports all the classes under IO? I know its a stupid question but I have seen it in other examples and use it in other jsp's... I just copied and pasted so I didnt really know why or what I was doing...
Source of comment: http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/01/22/poi.html - Appendix 1/ Example 1

Also wanted to add that my boss would like to store
the file as binary into database, extract the file
from database, change it back to native format in a
temporary directory and then use the POI to present it
as read only??
Is there any easier way? This still just seems like a
straight forward process being made harder then it
is...I thought i just told you how to do all of that?! You can only really store documents and files etc. as binary in a database column, unless the file is plain text (which these are not) and even then you would lose all of the formatting. So, don't worry about the binary aspect of it, as you will prob be storing the file as a BLOB anyway. You don't have to change the file back to its native format either, as if you have stored a file as binary, and you know the name (most importantly the extension), then when you write the binary to a file of that name, it IS in the original format. You can write a java webDAV client easily with the tools and libraries available in such packages as Jakarta Slide. In the past this API has been... lets just say, hard to grasp... due to documentation problems, delayed features etc. However, the traffic around the project seems to have increased dramatically since I last used it properly. Plus, you can extend this store to manage any kind of document or file.
Oh and by the way, I would suggest you try to do this on the web... basically because IE (as prob with other browsers) can view MS office docs in the browser window itself. Very helpful thing that!
Is this helping you or not?

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

Very Basic Question on Threads and Object Manipulation between classes

I have a feeling this is on the virge of being a stupid question but hey, its the right forum.
Lets assume I have a class that extends Jframe : Jframe1
In that frame there is only one Jlabel : Jlabel1
I want to create a thread that will affect Jlabel1
The thread will run an endless loop that will.. for example change the color of the label to a random color and then the thread will sleep for a given time. There is no use in this program. Its only meant to help me understand
I have looked up info and examples on threads. Unfortunately none were useful. Most examples try to illustrate the use of threads with the example of an applet digital clock. But it does not help with my problem, not to mention I dont want to delve into applets at this time.
I know I have to make a class that extends thread. Does it have to be an inner class?
How do I get to affect the frame's Jlabel1 from it? It says it doesn't know anything about it.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Jframe1 extends JFrame implements Runnable{
Container con;
JLabel Jlabel1;
Random rand;
Color c;
public Jframe1(){
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    con = getContentPane();
    rand = new Random();
    Jlabel1 = new JLabel("bspus", JLabel.CENTER);
    Jlabel1.setOpaque(true);
    con.add(Jlabel1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    setSize(300, 300);
    setVisible(true);
public void run(){
    while (true){
      try{
        Thread.sleep(1000);
      catch (InterruptedException e){
        break;
      int n = rand.nextInt(16777216);
      c = new Color(n);
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
        public void run(){
          Jlabel1.setBackground(c);
public static void main(String[] args){
    Jframe1 jf = new Jframe1();
    new Thread(jf).start(); // you don't need to create a new thread
}                         // because this Main thread is just
                            // another thread.
                            // here, only for demonstration purpose,
}                           // we make a new separate thread.

Google, Yahoo, and very random websites will not open

Google.com will not open, yahoo will not open and anything google- or yahoo-related will not open (including their search engines, which is killing me) as well as very random websites. Other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari.
Mac OS 10.6.8. The other iMac in the house (OS 10.7.5) is working fine as well as our Macbook, iPad, and three iPhones. I believe the problem started after we changed Verizon modems and wi-fi networks, but I cannot be sure, and I don't understand why the other devices/machines would not also be effected. There is no spyware that I know of installed on this problem machine. When I do a repair verification on the Utility Disk I get a lot of messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

It is the same with the other accounts on the machine, but not with any other Mac device in my house, including another iMac. I'm going to reword the question more clearly below, so that maybe others will have a solution. Thank you very much for your effort, Old Toad.

What I've done so far:
Cleared all history on, and reset, both browsers.

Cleared the caches in my hard drive Library and Users Library folders (the Internet is now faster for the sites that do work)
