We need a teacher tablet package for schools

Wy doesn't Apple get hip to the needs of educators and capture a piece of the pie to get technology into teachers hands? Apple should create a package that could be advertised to district superintendants and administrators; the package should include one main computer for the school with an Apple account for the school, X number of ipads depending on school needs with an app bundle that includes iworks, Microsoft office, and for gods sake the ability to run flash and java. This could either be a third party app or Apple could realize there is a need, Hawaii uses eSIS for grading and attendance which requires java. We may be purchasing Asus Eeee tablet computers instead of ipads simply because of this. If a school purchases ipads now, teachers have to buy their own apps yet they do not own the ipad. Creating a bundle of most used apps allows schools a one time purchase that allows schools and teachers to get up and running immediatly with the basics needed in our profession. Then leadership teams could decide what other apps they want to purchase as they go.
Is anybody listening?

Microsoft would have to make office for iPad-not Apple.
Flash and java are not going to happen, no matter what misguided reasons you want it.

Help needed: making a psptoolchain package for arch

Hi....
I'm very new to archlinux (now using it for 3 weeks), but I really like it
Now I tried to make a archlinux package for the psptoolchain (PSP's are so nice )
I already got a working package for the psp-gcc and the psp-binutils (wrote my own PKGBUILD's) which came with the psptoolchain.
But now I got stuck with psp-newlib and pspsdk.
At the moment I'm building all the packages separately, but later I'll try to make one package for the whole psptoolchain....
So here comes my problem with psp-newlib and pspsdk...
psp-gcc -march=i686 -O2 -pipe -G0 -Wall -I../../src/base -I../../src/kernel -c sceAtrac3plus.S
sceAtrac3plus.S:0: error: bad value (i686) for -march
Assembler messages:
Error: Bad value (i686) for -march

And here comes my PKGBUILD for psp-newlib:

pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GCC for psp-devel"

BUILDDIR="/tmp/pspdev" PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pspdev --target=psp
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
I know, using newlib as pkgname is bad, but later I'll change it to psp-newlib and I'll replace the $pkgname's with newlib (I hope this idea isn't too bad)
One last thing: psp-binutils and psp-gcc are installed in "/usr/local/pspdev"
I hope you can help me
thanks, and have a nice day

After a long break I decided to work on the PKGBUILD again.
Now I got two PKGBUILD's: one for the psptoolchain and one for pspsdk (pspsdk gets updated very often, so I decided to create an extra PKGBUILD).
I'm not sure if my PKGBUILD's fit the PKGBUILD-standard
First thing before I post my PKGBUILD's: I'm not finished with adding all required fields (as license and so on)!
Here comes the one for psptoolchain:

Some explanation: I've used this one very often: --prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr/local/pspdev
Explanation: When I wanted to create only one PKGBUILD for the psptoolchain, some dependences were in $startdir/pkg. If you take --prefix=/usr/local/pspdev he won't get some depencies (mostly header files), which means I had to create single PKGBUILD's for every part of the psptoolchain (that would be 6 single parts).
Those --prefix-changes don't stop my psp environment from working! (tested it myself - I comiled almos all sample apps which were included in the pspsdk - and all compiled well)
I hope we can find a better solution than mine.
Thanks in advance

Need to use default package for JNI code?

Hi,
I don't have much experience with JNI code, so excuse me if I make a silly mistake.
I have a set of DLLs to interface with Microsoft native speech code ("Microsoft Sam") -- a GPL library called Quadmore. Quadmore has some sample Java code to work with the libraries, all of which they put in the default package (no package). If I move their code to a named package, it breaks. The Java code is able to load th libraries, but can't find any of the methods.
Looking at the source for their DLLs (though I don't speak C++), the method names are things like
JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_QuadmoreTTS_SpeakDarling(JNIEnv *env,jobject obj,jstring strInput)As far as I understand, this implies that the QuadmoreTTS.class that calls the code must be in the default package, as otherwise the method name needs to be prepended with a package name.
If that's so, then there's no way I can use the code as-is, right? Naturally, the rest of my program is in named packages, and I can't import any class that is in the default package, right? I've tried placing all their code in a jar and adding the jar to my classpath, but I still can't import any of their classes as they are in the default package.
Is the only solution to re-compile all their C/C++ code to let it use packages? Am I being dumb and missing something? I'm pretty sure other people have used Quadmore before, so I can't believe that they've never had this problem before.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Sam

C/C++ functions in JNI must conform to the prototypes produced by running the javah compiler against the class file with native methods in it. So if you move the class to another package, the prototypes change. If you doun't change the compiled C coudes to suit, you will get undefined method errors when you load the dll as the JVM won't be able to match the native methods to the methods in the dll (it will call WinLoadLibrary() and WinLoadProcAddress() or somesuch under Windows).

Do we need gcc compiler (prereq packages for linux) after installation?

Hi
Our data center folks want to remove any package that is not used at runtime. We told them that all the pre-req packages are needed during installation. Are they needed during the start/stop or run of OracleAS10g?
Thank you

Hi,
The compiler is also used for relinking during patching.

TS1292 My card is unreadable and it doesn't start with any of the numbers or letters above? I need to purchase a book for school. Please help me.

I have for the past three and a half hours have been trying to redeem my itunes gift card. It is for $25.00 and I need to purchase a book. My card is unreadable....The first letters and numbers are fine but the middle....looks like four numbers/letters combination is missing and then the last four digits are fine. I have typed in what looks just like the letters and it says invalid everytime. So I went to express and did what they said and still it says invalid. I don't want to throw 25.00 dollars down the drain. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Firefox needs a Debian installer package for version 4 - it should be as easy to install as Chrome

While Ubuntu is slow in providing access to Firefox 4 in their repositories, it would seem appropriate for Mozilla to have a Debian package installer for Firefox 4 that the user can access on a timeline enjoyed by everyone else.
What is the delay??

I think you may have pasted the wrong thing into the Description.
To try and resubmit a pending report (for example if you lost your internet connection):
#Go to about:crashes in the location bar
#Click the latest report link to resubmit it
If there isn't a pending crash report listed, I'm afraid you may be out of luck for that crash report.

When will the iPad mini be available online? I need to purchase it soon for school!

When will the iPad mini be available to purchase online? It says in-store only! It's been like that for the past 2 weeks!

I am in the same boat. I have a $300.00 gift card that I want to put towards a 64 GB Verizon iPad Mini.
The Apple store shows them shipping in 1 week for quite a while now. How is it that Best Buy has none of these for a long time now? I mean they are a retailer of Apple Products Right?
I think I will just sell my gift card and be done with them. It will much less of a headache to just buy from Apple.
I hate these store gift cards !!!!!!!!!!!!

Need to run the package

Hi friends,
i need to run a package which will send a mail as soon after it runned. I have a package. But i need to run that package for each and every 10 min in a day. For that how i can create a job to execute that package.
As a result of the job for each and every 10 min ill be receiving a mail. How to create a job to execute my package for every 10 min.
Regards,
Mini

Hi srikanth and hoek,
Thanks for your reply.
i dont know why the job is not running and executing the package.
if i compiled the package separately means, i can able to execute it successfully and also im receiving mails correspondingly.
begin
it_check_overdue_issues.email_overdue;
end;But if i tried to execute the above package using a job means, it is not running corresponding to the time and also not receiving emails. This is my DBMS_JOB query that i used, it is compiling successfully without errors, but not working what is wrong with it.
DECLARE
    jobno number;
BEGIN
    DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(
        job => jobno,
        what => 'BEGIN it_check_overdue_issues.email_overdue; END;',
        next_date => SYSDATE,
        interval => 'SYSDATE + (2/1440)');
    COMMIT;
END;Regards,
Mini

system SUNWmibii Solstice Enterprise Agents 1.0.3 SN MP daemon
Do i need to install any package for setting the snmp string and please tell me the configuration file where i need to
change the snmp string file ?

Hi Bhanu,
I am fine, thanks. Hope you are fine too.
will this step not required
$sqlplus apps/appspass
SQL>exec fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean
before running autoconfig?If you have the latest AutoConfig patch applied, then I believe it is not required. However, it should be OK to run this command to purge FND_NODES table before running AutoConfig.

I am 13 but going into high school next year and possibly an elite boarding school that is 9 hours away from my town. I need to get a mac air for school purposes.How can convince my parents to let me get one?

My house has always had macs and my parents don't like pcs. I don't either. They are slow and so far behind from macs. So i am going into high schoo next year and parents don't let me on the computer without asking and have them all password protected. I did have my own ibook g4 but it broke randomly. My mom says i will isolate myself from too much scree time and get depressed but i love macs and i would like to work in an apple store someday but i'm not even allowed to buy my own ipod touch with my own money. But my mom has an new imac, ipad and iphone and ipod and all of this has been gifts to her. But i really need a computer for school. I have written lists of good reasons not like i want it but good ones and asked nicely but my mom just says because and thats the only reason i need to know. and by the way she is a teacher so she thinks technogly is evil. How can i get the mac air??

I really do not want to enter a family discussion about what you should or should not have. If the MBA is to support your school work then you need to present your arguments on that point. If there is a concern about using a Mac when the school supports PCs then point out a Mac can also use Windows on a BootCamp partition so it is fully compatible with both systems.
