  • What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event?  I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.

    What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event?  I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.

    Greetings,
    Hm. I've never seen that in iCal.  In some other Applications the tilde "~" indicates a restore point or a before / after for a file.  My guess is there is a broken cache file in iCal.
    Try:
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • What does the sign mean next to the battery: a with lock with a circle, but the I phone is unlocked

    What does the sign mean next to the battery: a with lock with a circle, but the I phone is unlocked

    Orientation lock.  From http://www.apple.com/iphone/tips/
    Lock the screen orientation.
    Double-click the Home button to bring up the multitasking interface, then swipe from left to right. Now tap the portrait orientation lock once to turn it on and again to turn it off.

  • What does the   sign mean next to the price of an app? and why can i not purchase it?

    THE PLUS SIGN

    Hi...
    If you mean the small gray box with a white + inside just under where you see the purchase price, that is telling you which devices the app is designed for.

    what does the exclamtion point mean next to a song that is unchecked?

    If you hover over the exclamation mark (or you may need to click on it, I can't remeber), it should tell you. Usually, it means that the original file (for that song) cannot be found, either because it has been moved, renamed or deleted.

  • Capture Conv: rev/reverse - what's the point?

    Take this example from http://www.langer.camelot.de/GenericsFAQ/FAQSections/TechnicalDetails.html
    public static List<?> reverse(List<?> list) { return rev(list); }
    private static <T> List<T> rev(List<T> list) {
         List<T> tmp = new ArrayList<T>(list);
         for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
              list.set(i, tmp.get(list.size() - i - 1);
         return tmp;
    }Now, I've read the JLS, the Generics tutorial, the JOT.fm article and the langer.camelot.de FAQ, but I can't for the life of me figure out one thing:
    What's the point!? The wildcard version of reverse returns List<?> whereas the naive alternative (public static <T> List<T> reverse(List<T> list)) returns whatever you pass in. That seems much more useful! You pass in a List<String> and you get back a List<String> The JLS says that the templatized version "is undesirable, as it exposes implementation information to the caller."
    My question is this: is that the real reason? It's not, right? What implementation information is exposed? The type parameter? How is that bad? Is it bad enough to reduce the functionality of the method?
    I have a hunch that "exposing implementation information" is low on the tradeoff scale - and that the real reason for the wildcard version is backward compatibility. If you only had the templatized version, old code that tries to pass in a plain-old List to reverse would now generate unchecked warnings because of the conversion from raw List to the formal parameter's type List<T>. The preferred wildcard version doesn't generate unchecked warnings because the conversion from raw List to List<?> is 'safe'.
    Isn't that right? The reason that "public static <T> List<T> reverse(List<T> list)" is bad is not because it exposes implementation details, but because it causes old code to generate unchecked warnings, non?
    If I'm right, then my follow up question would be: who cares? Who cares if old code generates unchecked warnings? Isn't that fair? - a sort of gentle pseudo-deprecation of raw types?
    And furthermore, if you'll allow me to smush several questions together, why the preoccupation with eliminating unchecked conversions all over the place? Doesn't the bytecode that comes out look the same either way? What benefit does an unchecked-conversion-free program or CompilationUnit have over one with such conversions? Does provability make possible some future JVM optimizations where some casts or instanceofs can be eliminated? I don't really see how, unless we're talking about some wacky static compiler. Why go to so much trouble to avoid unchecked conversions?

    Angelika, you caught me. I was writing about the 'void reverse(List<?>)' example from the JLS when I went back to your page and realized that your example had a return type. It confused the matter slightly, but not enough to detract from my main point, I thought. In fact, it seemed to prove my point - to provide a good counter-example to the JLS reasoning! But let me start from the beginning:
    In the draft JLS, it mentions that<T> void reverse(List<T> list) {} is preferable to void reverse(List<?> list) {} which is "undesirable" because "it exposes implementation information to the caller."
    What implementation information? The only difference between the two is that the 'unknown element type' has a different name. '?' as opposed to 'T'. In both cases, it means the same thing! A List with some unknown element type.
    Whether it's called 'T' or '?' is inconsequential, it seemed to me. Perhaps one could argue that one is 'prettier' than the other but I didn't see how any implementation detail was exposed.
    I didn't see any real reason to prefer the wildcard version over the other, except the reason I gave: the wildcard version avoids unchecked warnings for legacy code.
    I now see that there is one other important difference - the type parameter T is actually part of the method signature. That could have important implications for overriding. In that sense, the 'List<T>' version does 'expose' and impose an unnecessary implementation constraint. I haven't thought through how that could be a problem, but I certainly can imagine that it might.
    However, neither the 'avoid-unchecked-warnings-on-legacy-code' reason nor the 'typeparameter-is-part-of-method-signature' reason is mentioned in the JLS example. Without those two pieces of information, the preference just seems arbitrary.
    So that was my initial question: "am I incorrect? The dont-expose-implementation-information reason seems much less important than the avoid-legacy-warnings reason - shouldn't the JLS mention *that* instead?"
    THEN, to add to my feeling, I noticed that the similar-looking example on your page involved a return type of List<T>. It seemed to follow the JLS recommendation to its detriment! The preference in the JLS example seemed arbitrary yet harmless, but here it seemed actually wrong! In trying to avoid the hand-wavy concept of 'exposing implementation information to the caller', the usefulness and semantics were ruined! That seemed like alot to give up, just to spare legacy people some unchecked warnings. I thought this just drove home my original point about the JLS example - but instead it just made my question a confusing mixture of two different issues. I should have realized that and left the FAQ version out of the discussion.
    Given all of that, consider now only the JLS's 'void reverse(List<?> list)' case and let me ask this refined question:
    I think the JLS should say that '<T> void reverse(List<T> list)' is undesirable not because of the vaguely unconvincing reason that "it exposes implementation information" but rather because of these two explicit reasons:
    . the type parameter is part of the method signature (which can cause strange 'gotchas' with overriding) and because
    . it causes previously acceptable code to now unnecessarily generate unchecked warnings.
    Does anyone else think differently?
    POSTSCRIPT:
    Of course, the thing I didn't realize was that that code snippet in the FAQ is crazy. ie. 'List<?> reverse(List<?> list)' is absurd! You would probably never do that. What kind of reverse method would return a List of a different parameterization than it gets? That would be a really weird reverse method, I think.
    Given that, it seems to me that you should modify the 'reverse' snippets in the FAQ, under sections "What is the capture of a wildcard?" and "What is a wildcard capture assignment-compatible to?". I think you should do one of three things:
    1. Make rev/reverse return 'void'. Then your example code becomes the same as the JLS, the wildcard version makes sense, and preferring it makes sense too.
    2. Remove one of the two methods and only have 'public <T> List<T> reverse(List<T>)' which gives the correct implication.
    3. Keep the example but give the methods a different name and purpose than 'reverse', like
    'List<?> examineListAndMaybeReturnOneWithDifferentElementTypes(List<?> list)'. :)

  • JWSDP and J2EE Integration: Doesn't work. What's the point?

    My problems involve the integration of JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
    It looks like a long one, but it�s really not that bad. All comments are appreciated.
    I�ve numbered each line-paragraph-section for easy reference later.
    (1) My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website that uses servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JDBC.
    (2) I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
    1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
    2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
    3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
    4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
    (3) On MyWebServer I installed the following:
    Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)
    Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
    Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP)
    The JWSDP tutorial
    Apache HTTP Server
    (4) The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
    j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
    j2sdkee-1_3_1-win.exe
    jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
    jwsdp-1_0-ea1_01-tutorial.zip
    apache_1.3.23-win32-x86-no_src.exe
    (5) After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
    JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
    J2EE_HOME = c:\j2ee
    JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
    Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\j2ee\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
    (6) I checked to see that Apache is running as a service. It is.
    On MyWebServer I start Tomcat and J2EE. Both start properly and are operating simultaneously.
    (7) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
    http://10.10.1.1
    This displays the page c:\ApacheHTTP\apache\htdocs\index.html.en (The Apache default server installation page.)
    (8) I then enter this address in IE:
    http://10.10.1.1:8080
    This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html (The default JWSDP page).
    (9) I then enter this address in IE:
    http://10.10.1.1:8000
    This displays the page c:\j2ee\public_html\index.html (The J2EE 1.3 Default Home Page).
    (10) So far so good. Now I want to test JWSDP as a container for JSP pages.
    (11) I use ant to build the converter app found in the tutorial examples (in folder c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs). I then deploy the converter app to the c:\jwsdp\webapps\gs folder.
    (12) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
    http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
    The converter app works perfectly.
    (13) To eliminate the need to enter the port number, I create a link from the Apache default server installation page to the converter app. From MyClientPC and enter this address into IE:
    http://10.10.1.1
    I then click on the link to the converter app and it works perfectly.
    (14) Question: Is this the best way to display JSP pages without having to enter the port number?
    (15) Now it�s time to integrate JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
    (16) After I complete this integration I cannot start both Tomcat and J2EE at the same time. This makes sense because they both share port 8080.
    I start Tomcat.
    (17) From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses. Everything works the same as it did before except this one:
    http://10.10.1.1:8000
    The page cannot be displayed. The J2EE default home page is not displayed, which makes sense because the J2EE port is no longer 8000; it has been changed to 8080.
    (18) Now I shutdown Tomcat and start J2EE.
    From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses:
    (19) http://10.10.1.1:8080
    Displays the JWSDP default home page.
    (20) http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
    The page cannot be displayed. The converter app no longer works.
    (21) From MyWebServer and use Internet Explorer to test localhost:
    http://localhost:8080
    This displays the J2EE default home page.
    (22) Question: Why does localhost give me a different page than the IP address?
    (23) Question: What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
    (24) I want to get the converter app working, so I create a .war file and attempt to add it to the J2EE deploytool (see the two integration documents listed above at section 15.) I create the .war file following the instructions in the JWSDP tutorial:
    http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea1/tutorial/doc/WebApp3.html#64606
    (25) I change to the c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs\build folder.
    I then type:
    jar cvf converter.war .
    A .war file is created.
    (26) I open the deploytool: File, New, Application, and I name it �converter�.
    I attempt to add the .war file: File, Add to Application, Web WAR.
    (27) When I attempt to add the converter.war file I get this error:
    �converter.war does not appear to be a valid web JAR.�
    I tried a few different attempts, all with the same result. I�m stuck.
    (28) I ask again, What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
    (29) If this is the preferred configuration, how do I display my JSP pages like the converter app?
    Please help!!!

    The JWSDP tutorial says to be in the �build� folder of the example when issuing the jar command to create the .war file. The build folder is created when I run the �ant build� command.
    Attempt 1 from the command prompt in folder c:\jwsdp\tutorial\examples\gs\build>
    I typed this command:
    jar cvf c:\jaxmservices\converter.war .
    In this case I directed the .war file to be placed in a different folder as you suggested. Here�s the output:
    added manifest
    adding: index.jsp(in = 921) (out= 525)(deflated 42%)
    adding: WEB-INF/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
    adding: WEB-INF/classes/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
    adding: WEB-INF/classes/Converter.class(in = 582) (out= 358)(deflated 38%)
    Didn�t work. Same error as before.
    Attempt 2 from the same folder:
    I typed this command as you suggested (I tried it with and without the final dot):
    jar tvf converter.war
    Here is the output:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: converter.war (The system cannot find the file specified)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:103)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)
    at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:185)
    at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)
    I tried a few other variations on these attempts with no luck. I�m stuck.
    I�m attempting to create a .war file out of two files: index.jsp and converter.class.
    Now that I�ve integrated JWSDP and J2EE, is there some other way that I can run the converter app instead of a .war file and the deploytool? In other words, if I go back to using ant to build and deploy converter, where would I deploy it so that it will work with J2EE?
    By the way, it doesn�t have to be converter. I�d be happy if I could get any JSP page to work in J2EE after the integration.
    Forever grateful,
    Logan

  • What's the point in buying a new MacBook?

    Hi all,
    Recently I went with my iBook G4 to the Apple store to troubleshoot a small problem, but they were unable to help me as after only 7 years, the machine was rendered obsolete and they didn't feel obliged to help. My iBook recently died and I felt like a part of me was missing.
    So my question is, what is the point of buying myself a brand new MacBook Pro if in 5 or 6 years, it will be obsolete? I want a Mac that will last me wherever I go for a long time before it finally dies. I've realized that I need to put PowerPC computers out of the question, but will intel processer Macs last longer than PowerPC processors?
    For the record, I don't want to switch to Microsoft as I find them difficult and this isn't a crack at Apple.
    Any answers are very appreciated,
    Thomas.

    With Intel based Macs the hardware will not become obsolete as fast as PPC based Macs did, but the operating system and/or applications used might.
    That does not mean that it will stop working, just that you won't, in a few years' time, be able to get the latest bells and whistles.
    Officially, support from Apple ceases after seven years - but that does not stop the Macs working!
    Vintage and obsolete Apple products:
    Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products. These include ALL G4 and G5 models.

  • Mac Pro 800 port (9-pin to 4-pin) what is the point?

    I finally found a store that sells the 9-pin to 4-pin cable for firewire 800. But on the packaging it says "up to 400Mbps Transfer Speed."
    Does that mean that hooking up my Mac Pro's 9-pin connection to my camera's 4-pin is only going to give me the same as the 6-pin to 4-pin connection?
    If so, what is the point of Firewire 800 and the 9-pin connection?
    -james

    What difference does that make? It's gonna transfer data at video speeds. Even if there was a FW8000 port, it would transfer data at the speed of the material played back from tape real time. That means that data is coming off the tape at about 25mbs... no matter what speed the port is.

  • What is the Point of Active Directory/LDAP Specification?

    My college threw an interesting curve ball today and I couldn't give him a good enough answer. The question was simple 'What is the point of active directory'. Now I don't have a lot of exposure to active directory, but I thought I could easily answer. My argument was; If you have a group of objects its easy to look up attributes for those objects using active directory. For example, if you have a group in AD and you want to verify the users of that group you simply look up the member attribute of that group. However he argued, rightly so, that you can do that with a table in a database, why do that in AD. I couldn't give him a good enough answer and now I'm curious. Given the above example, why use AD over a database?
    To me AD is a way to manage a set of resources, whatever they are, by mapping them to objects that have however many attributes. But we could do that in a database, whats the point of AD? Why do you use AD?

    I come from a primarily database centric background. Just like life experience, it casts a certain perspective on problems. Database people solve things with databases. Directory people solve things with directories. Everyone has their perspective. It's not really about who's right and who's wrong. It's about perspective because people are most likely to go with what's familiar when given a problem. It's easy to have this conversation in a educational environment but when you're on the job it's about turf, schedules and careers. My latest job (in which this debate comes up a lot) has been about directories which has been a very enlightening experience because I've been given a gift of perspective. I can put on the directory hat and look at it from another angle.
    To get back to your professor's question. The answer is easy. LDAP (AD or other) is an application above a database. It has a data store behind it, in most cases we can just assume this is a database. So, in short, it's apples to oranges. But if we insist on comparing which makes the better juice, let's look at how we'd make a database like a directory. We could create a data model with an attributes table, an entries table and so on. We can deconstruct what LDAP data structures really are and implement each type as a table with FK/PK relationships and so on. It's sure to work because there are already so many products on the market doing this very thing. But think about the effort now. How are you going to add new users? A front-end? Stored procedures? Scripts? How are you going to keep someone from seeing things they shouldn't? You have to insert an object into all the right tables to ensure that your data is consistent and valid. In a pure database, you're trying to create ACLs on database rows. Now you're writing a full featured application with a lot of complexity. Given enough directory features, the database isn't going to be able to do everything without an external application.
    What is the point of LDAP? It's got hierarchy, ACLs, group of unique names functionality and things that are a layer of abstraction above the data store. I love databases but if you start designing out a directory server from scratch you'll realize it's far beyond comparing a user.ldif to a row in a user table. They are similar in appearance but different types of software.

  • What's the point of iCloud

    Unless I misunderstood, I have to pay to get all my music to be pushed to all my devices (iTunes Match) and I have to buy iWork for my iPhone (even though I already have it on my Mac) in order to get those documents pushed to the cloud. (It makes more sense to stick with iWork beta!)
    I feel like Apple is nickling and diming its loyal customers.
    So, essentially, iCloud is useless! I thought it would be a great way to free up space on my hard drive; I could just store my documents and music in the cloud.
    My question is: what is the point of iCloud? Honestly, what does it do? It just pushes stuff between your devices? I genuinely don't understand the point of it.

    Here we go... Yet another 'loyal' Apple customer who seems to think that because they've bought one Apple product, Apple should forever let them have new products and services for free.
    The real problem here is that Apple has no long-term commitment to support anything it makes.  It wasn't that long ago that MobileMe (which was not free) came into existence and now it is already being dumped in favor of iCloud, which lacks the iDisk, remote access to Time Capsules and personal websites.  It's a step backwards and a disservice to those of us who were using some or all of those MobileMe features. 
    Apple's product cycles, both hardware and software, are too short to be of use to anyone but those who like to play.  Forget about trying to run a business from Apple products these days.
    That is exactly right.
    In my own small home network we 7 Macs all being synced through MobileMe. Only two of these Macs can run Lion and doing so would mean no longer being able to use applications that our clients still use so it would mean loss of these clients. Not to mention the cost of replacing at least 5 of or Macs.
    Then there are businesses that have dozens of Macs or sometimes even hundreds of Macs along with gigs and gigs of data that Macs running Lion can't access. So even ignoring the huge cost of replacing al these Macs with newer Macs there is still the issue of Macs running Lion not being able to run needed applications.
    With MobileMe one could buy a newer Mac running Lion and it would still be able to sync with older Macs but now it is all or nothing.
    At least one design shop that I do work for is now replacing their Macs with Windows machines since these computers can run older software and also be able to sync with iOS devices using iCloud. At least a dozen other places that I do business are considering doing the same thing.

  • What's the point of this code?

    Hi, I'm getting an error in a program.
    So I went to look in the code where the error is displayed.
    And I found this:
    z_nbjr = sy-datum - z_fromdt.
    if z_nbjr > 1.
      message is displayed.
    Now, z_fromdt is the value TVARV-LOW for 'ZVDL_VBUK_LAST_RUN', and the message that is displayed is 'Please rebuild index file ZVDL_VBUK'.
    Can anyone explain to me what is the point of this? What is TVARV-LOW?
    And why do they make this check? And how do I rebuild the index file?

    As Pushpraj has already pointed out correctly, TVARV is where the variants are stored. It's rather strange that you've never seen fields like LOW and HIGH, because they're also used in the ABAP range tables (see Help for command RANGES).
    Since this is all your custom development, we, unfortunately, cannot know what is the point of all this. I'm guessing that the message to "rebuild the index" is also custom and, therefore, you would need to find a documentation for the program in question or ask your colleagues what this could mean. Also check if there is a long text available for the message (although I doubt that).
    Most likely it's some kind of an internal process of running some other program.

    I tried booting CMD-R into the recovery partition and instead it went to some online thing.
    So then I booted Option, into the recovery partition and clicked on Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    Next thing ya know its got me logging into the Apple Store and now it has a 7 hour download.
    So what is the point of the recovery partition if it can't do a fresh copy of Mountain Lion?  What exactly is it to help me recover from?  What if I was in the hills of Indonesia and tried to do this?
    Any now I can't sell this thing until tomorrow as I have a seven hour download wait ahead of me.  Had I knows, I would have let that be the new owners problem.  Or somehow made a backup of ML previously.
    Silly Apple. Always advertising something so great that turns out to be useless.

    The silly part is not alerting the user that when you download and install that the .ESD installer package will be deleted and to make a copy of it.
    The system you download - guesstimates can be way off - check with speedtest.net - is associated with YOU and your Apple ID and the best thing to do is any OEM material and a blank hard drive - and printout of ML Recovery Mode tech article on doing an internet based install.
    Yes you could have setup a 4GB installer flash drive or on your hard drive. Yes they could maintain that 4GB on a larger Recovery partition (it is less than 1GB).

  • What's the point of a 3rd Gen?

    I read that the 3rd Gen Touch has lower battery by 6 hours from the 2nd Gen Touch. That true?
    If so, what's the point?
    Just the update? O_o
    Oh, and another quick question.
    (Off topic a little) Can you buy the 3rd Gen...(Or any iPod Touch)...at an Apple Store?

    If, by "newbies" you mean people who don't already own a Touch, well, that sounds like a pretty good market. Most people don't buy a new iPod every year. (Okay, some of us do. I do. But that's not the point.) Seems like the biggest market share to capture would be people who don't already have one. I don't really see where there's a problem here. Come to think of it, the 2nd gen wasn't a huge revolution from the 1st gen.
    We all know you're not going to buy one. We're all okay with that.
    And yes, I'll probably buy the 64 gig in a month or so. I may buy the new Nano, too. Silly, I know, but it keeps me too busy to complain about things.
