What do the bars in "View Satellite Info" mean

Just an idle question.
When you select "View Satellite Info" in the Maps or GPS apps, you get a number of bars showing you the current signal states of the satellites from which a signal is being received.
These bars can be outlined or solid. What is the difference?
I understand GPS and its principles. I am assuming that the outlined bars means that the machine is receiving a signal from that satellite, and that the solid bars mean that the machine is actively using those satellites for the time calculation and trigonometry. But this is only my guess...
The manual (shocking manual BTW Nokia) doesn't explain - which is **bleep**. It says you can "view satellite info", but doesn't explain how to interpret the results, not even a sentence overview, which is worse than useless because it's infuriating.
Therefore guesswork is the order of the day. Anyone got any ideas?
Great phone though, delighted.

Cheers.
I also did a bit of reading about GPS after posting this, and there's a great explanation of what's meant by "getting a lock" here:

What is the concept of view in material master?

Hello sap gurus
Some quetions regarding Material Master
what is the concept of views in material master ?
what is determined by specifying industry sector in material master ?
To sell material which views are material are maintened in Material master?
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Material master for finished ggods is related with SD, MM & PP departments. If you carefully go through the various screens in MM record you will realize the importance of the respective fields and the department to which they belong.
1.Suppose Base unit of measure in Basic data 1 screen. The production people will keep the stock of the item using this UOM.
2. In Sales:Sales Org.1 screen we have sales unit in which we will sell the material.
3. Then we have the plant data in which we enter the delivering plant. Also the taxes are determined from the plant so we have the settings for taxes also - whether this material is fully taxable/50% tax/Tax exempted.
4. Then we have purchasing screen in which the data like the purchasing group, variable units,etc are entered. This will effect the purchasing cycle when we are procuring a material from outside. This is related to MM.
5. The we have MRP, this is related to PP as to how to manufacture the product, the MRP type, the strategy group - whether it is MTO/MTS like that.
5. Sales:Sales Org.2 screen - Here we mainatin the account assignment group which is very important as far as the generation of the accounting document is concerned. This triggers the system where to post the value in which G/L account. Accounting document is generated when we create the invoice in VF01 & save it.
6. Work scheduling - Related with the sceduling of the production as to whether underdelivery or overdelivery is allowed, the storage location
7. Quality - Here you can select for a particular finished item where where it has to be checked for quality during its journey from the raw material stage to the finished goods store as a finished item.
8. Accounting - Related to accounting, product costing, total value of the stock in hand, etc. Also related with FI & PP
So all the screens have data which effects one or more modules for the proper functioning of the system to give the optimum results.
Industry Sector:
Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
Use
When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
1. which screens appear and in what order
2. which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens
Screens for Sales:
Sales:Sales Org.1, Sales:Sales Org.2. But other screens also have data which is related to sales. You cannot just maintain the sales views and save the master. It has to be properly linked with the other modules also for the proper functioning of the system. That is why the system is called as "Enterprise Resource Planning" You have to paln the resources of your company and these resources are related with all the modules.

What is the difference between view and materialized views

Hi
What is the difference between view and materialized view ? can we update the base table using views

can we update the base table using viewsYes:
VIEWS
1. an updatable view is one that lets you perform DML on the underlying table
(see Oracle Database Concepts 10g - 5 Schema Objects)
2. non-updatable view requires INSTEAD OF Triggers
(see Oracle Database Concepts 10g - 22 Triggers)
SNAPSHOTS
You can have updateable (and writeable) snapshots - in updateable (writeable) MV replication.
Oracle uses snapshots (Materialized Views - MV) for two different purposes:
1. replication
2. automated Query Rewrite facility (first introduced in Oracle Discoverer, later included in Oracle database 8i).
Replication types in Oracle are:
a) Basic replication (MV replication)
- transaction based
- row-level
- asynchronous from master table to MV (Materialized View)
- DML replication only
- database 7 / 8.0 / 8i / 9i / 10g
- Standard and Enterprise Edition
1. Read-only MV replication
2. Updateable MV replication:
2.1 asynchronous from MV to master
2.2 synchronous from MV to master
3. Writeable MV replication
b) Multimaster replication
- transaction based
- row-level or procedural
- asynchronous or synchronous
- DML and DDL replication
- database 7 / 8.0 / 8i / 9i / 10g
- Enterprise Edition only
1. row-level asynchronous replication
2. row-level synchronous replication
3. procedural asynchronous replication
4. procedural synchronous replication
c) Streams replication
- (redo) log based
- row-level
- asynchronous
- DML and DDL replication
- database 9i / 10g (10g has Down Streams Capture)
- Enterprise Edition only (Standard Edition 10g can execute Apply process)

What is the disadvantage with views in generic extraction?

hi
what is the disadvantage with views in generic extraction?
thanks in advance,
srinivas.

Hi ,
What is disadvantage of generic extraction ? 
If i am asking this what you will say ......You have only less points to say if any one ask you like this .
Similarly Generic extraction based on view has many advantegs It was given to extrct data when standard business content data source is not available .
But we know Views can be created when the table you need to extract data has Primary Foreign key relation .So if you need to extarct data from many tables with no relation between them then you cannot use view .
But if you need to extract data from tables that have complex relation ,Then you need to go for Function Module extration and write some ABAP code and using SQL ststements you fetch data from tables based on thier key fields and finally get the desired data by your coding logic .

What does the folder with a question mark mean?

When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

You will need to reinstall:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it + also
supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
•About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
{ did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
Here's an official support topic page about it.
•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
Good luck & happy computing!

What is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean?

what is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean? Look at this link : http://www.walmart.ca/canada-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?_DARGS=/canada-es tore/search/fragments/cataloghierarchy.jsp I dont understand, what was the old model?

The 16gb iPod 4 is a new model! Previously, the iPod Touch 4G came in 8gb, 32gb and 64gb versions. Apple has stopped shipping those versions and has replaced it with the 16gb iPod 4. While this is technically the "newest" model (by a day or so), it is not the most technically advanced. As others have pointed out that it the iPod Touch 5g (32gb and 64gb versions). So Walmart is not "outdated" or "incorrect", but perhaps a bit deceptive.

what does 'the activation server is temporarily down' mean?

That you may have jailbroken your phone. You may have used that computer to jailbreak a phone. You may have a bad hosts file on the computer because of that. There are many reasons, but generally those are the main ones. According to this http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ there are no system outages.
