What does "wheel" mean for custom access

What does "wheel" mean when allowing custom access to a folder?

wheel= admin
In computing, the term wheel refers to a user account with a wheel bit, a system setting that provides additional special system privileges that empower a user to execute restricted commands that ordinary user accounts cannot access. The term is derived from the slang term big wheel, referring to a person with great power or influence. It was first used in this context with regard to the TENEX operating system, later distributed under the name TOPS-20 in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The term was adopted by Unix users in the 1980s, due to the movement of operating system developers and users from TENEX/TOPS-20 to Unix. Modern Unix implementations generally include a security protocol that requires a user be a member of the wheel user privileges group in order to gain superuser access to a machine by using the su command.

What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows?

What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows, in terms of the settings menu where you say to synch only "unplayed" shows? Does it mean you started playing it, or that it has played all the way through?
And how does this relate to the "dots" next to podcasts in the menu? These dots seem to go away when you start listening, but do not finish, a podcast. Is this the same as "played"?
Thanks!

You are probably seeing a USB cable under the iTunes icon. This means the Apple TV is having problems and needs to be connected to iTunes to be Restored. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367

I just purchased FormsCentral but according to your site it is going to be closed on June 22. What does this mean for what I paid? Do you have an alternative program to use? Do I receive my money back?

Kim,
When you say you just purchased Formscentral exactly what do you mean? Formscentral has not been sold as a stand alone product in a while due to the decision to close the service. If you got Formscentral as part of a Acrobat subscription then you need to know that that part of the subscription will go away partially in June and fully in July. If you have indeed managed to purchase Formscentral standalone recently can you please give me the information about your purchase such as the date of purchase and link to the site from which you purchased. Refunds are available to customers who are not able to use the service though their contract period.

What does wireless mean for a printer?

I have an HP photosmart printer (sorry but I can't think of the model and I am not home) that has wireless capabilities. What does this mean? Does this mean that i can access the printer from my notebook, pda and other wireless devices through the wifi device that is in the printer or does it mean that only one computer can connect to the printer by wifi?

It means really two things:
1. You can connect up to 5 computers wirelessly with the printer (called ad-hoc networking). Now, when those computers are connected with the printer they cannot be connected to any other wireless device (like a wireless router).
2. The preferred method - connect your printer to a wireless router. All computers connected (wired or wireless) to that router can use both the print and scan function (if applicable) of the device.

What does a * mean for checktable in dd03l?

I am looking at dd03l, there is a column checktable which tells the check table
For the filedname in a given table tabname.
I have seen following values in checkable:
1. Blank u2013 no check table
2. A table name such T005, it is the check table name
3. * - a star
I do not know what is the meaning of a *.
Appreciate your answer?

Hello,
Did you check the "Supplementary Documentation" of the Data Element CHECKTABLE. It states & i quote:
The entry * indicates that the domain has a value table but no foreign key has been maintained for the field.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

What does JSESSIONID stand for when accessing Comcast/Xfinity emails? I was told that it means that a person who lives in my apartment bldg is hacking my mails. What say you?

Greetings,
I have had a hacker problem for quite a while. I thought I had rid myself of him. (He is a neighbor in my apt. building). In any case today while attempting to set up a new e mail addy, my existing addy just 'disappeared' from the comcast site !! I did not know what to make of it. I called a friend who is rather tech savvy and understands that I am a bit paranoid after the many many months of serious hacking and the awful history of same that I have experienced. He told me to look at my cookies. I read the list and when I got to the ones that said "sc0112.wc.mail.com.comcast.net", with a cookie named "JSESSIONID" that he thought that the hacker might have, at the very least, got into my e mails. Does anybody have any info on this issue. Other then hard wiring my iMac to a router via a cable modem are there any other steps that I can take to have as safe of an experience as I can have.
I am most grateful to those of you who take the time to read and respond and I thank you in advance.
Thank you.

JSESSIONID cookies are placed in your browser by websites (in this case, the comcast webserver) that want to keep track of your login session. Webservers that you log in to, such as your comcast email site, will set cookies such as this one so they can remember that you are logged in. This JSESSIONID cookie that you have is harmless, and actually necessary for the proper operation of the comcast email site.
But, if someone else (eg. a hacker) were able to get a copy of your JSESSIONID cookie, they could impersonate you; they don't need to know your username or password if they have a current copy of your session cookie.
It's hard to say what's happening to you, but if you suspect something fishy is going on, I'd start with:
- Make sure your wireless router is configured to use WPA or WPA2 security. (WEP is not good enough).
- Change the password on your wireless router! Make it long (12+ chars), with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers, and throw in some other characters like ! # % $, etc
- Change your comcast password, make it a good one too.
- You do own the router, right? You are not connecting to a router owned by someone else?
- When you login to websites, make sure that the login page uses HTTPS. Really, these days, a security-concious website will keep the session over HTTPS at least until the user logs out.

Access log - what does ETIME mean for searches?

I am running Directory server 5.1 sp4. We recently had an issue where a search was initiated by a webserver with a bad network card. The symptom was intermittent 'ABANDON' entries in the log. However, when the ABANDON is in the log, the ETIME of the search is high - 10 seconds or so. Normal response time for the same search is 0. It appears that the ETIME of the search includes time spent trying to send the results back (unsuccessfully) to the requester. Is this a valid theory?
Here is a sample search from the log...
[20/Mar/2009:11:32:47 -0400] conn=23294 op=1247 SRCH base="cn=xxx,o=yyy" scope=2 filter="(|(objectClass=zzz)(objectClass=aaa))" attrs="bbb"
[20/Mar/2009:11:32:57 -0400] conn=23294 op=1247 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=438 etime=10
[20/Mar/2009:11:33:06 -0400] conn=23294 op=1248 ABANDON targetop=NOTFOUND msgid=1248

Yes, the etime will also include the time it takes to send that data back to the client. This is also considered part of the LDAP operation and so bad network performance can also cause higher etimes.

Now that CS5 has arrived, what does it mean for your system setup?

Apart from nice added features, improved stability and increased speed, there are two major factors that impact on your system setup:
1. 64 bit
2. Mercury Playback Engine
64 Bit only
This means a couple of things:
You need a 64 bit OS, you need 64 bit plug-ins and you can use much more memory than the 4 GB limitation that applied to 32 bit OS'es (with effective memory in the 2 - 3 GB range, depending on the Boot.ini switch).
In practice, to benefit from the move from 32 bit to 64 bit, the recommended memory needs to be around 8 or 12 GB, depending on your mobo and chipset and the number of DIMM slots available. With current prices (May 2010) it is not yet economical to opt for 4 GB sticks.
If you have a dual socket board with 12 or more DIMM slots, 24 GB is optimal.
Mercury Playback Engine
This is where it gets interesting.
In the past, up to and including CS4 4.2.1, performance was largely impacted by:
1. CPU
2. Memory
3. Disk setup
4. OS & Tuning
5. ...
and finally by the video card. It did not really matter what video card you had installed. There never was any discernable performance gain from expensive video cards.
The tables have turned.
With CS5, installing a CUDA enabled video card has a large impact on performance and lessens the burden on the CPU. The GPU does a lot of the work.
However, since the CPU gets a lot more breathing space, the CPU will no longer be the primary bottelneck, as was often the case in the past. And since all DIMM slots in the average machine will be occupied, it is a costly exercise to exchange the DIMM sticks with larger capacity ones. People who have only 3 slots in use on a X58 motherboard can directly benefit from adding three more sticks, but this does not happen very often.
So with the CPU running with a relatively low load and memory more or less a given, the only thing that may be a bottleneck to be improved upon is the disk setup. This can be seen easily by scrubbing fast through the time line with the popular AVCHD material. Due to the MPEG nature, while scrubbing one needs to look backwards and forwards to create the image under the CTI and that means a lot of disk activity. CPU is not a bottleneck, memory is not a bottleneck and the GPU is not the bottleneck, it is the disk setup.
Do not be fooled by the claims that SATA2 or SATA3 have enough bandwidth to support the data rate of AVCHD or other MPEG streams. Tests have shown that significant performance gains can be achieved by using a large number of disks, preferably in a raid. This is especially true when one has multiple tracks.
SSD's are not yet an economical alternative for conventional hard disks, with prices that are a factor 30 - 50 higher per gigabyte than conventional disks.
Conclusion
To fully benefit from the performance gains that CS5 allows, it may be that using a MPE supported card will lead to the disk setup being the new bottleneck. Be aware of that fact.

at this point we are still trying to figure out whats up.
bear in mind DV VS AVCHD or Red is a completely different animal. there is a lot to process on encoding vs DV
we think the processors and HDDs are sitting there waiting on CS5
even with Dual Xeon 2.8GHz 12 cores its no faster than the 980x niether are CPU pegging, HDD pegging or ram..
interesting is the Dual Xeons will use about 10G (with 24G installed) ram vs the 980x using 6 (with 12 installed)
dual Xeons have dual memoery pipe lines 1 for each cpu so we think thats where its coming from
but we are still scratching our heads with a good deal of what we are finding in these benchmarks.
most is pointing to CS5 coding.
i am sure Eric will poke his head in here...

What does this mean for an Apple Mail user? Is this message even real?

Dear Verizon Internet Customer,
At Verizon, we continue our efforts to enhance your online experience as well as ensure ongoing security for our Internet customers. As a result, Verizon Online has modified the way email is handled when sent or received through an email application other than MyVerizon.
If you only use MyVerizon to access your email account, no action is required and you may disregard this email.  If you do, however, use other applications to access your Verizon email, such as Outlook Express®, you will need to modify your email settings to take advantage of enhanced security we now offer.
In order to make these modifications, please visit ...://verizon.com/emailsettings for information about the  email settings you need to update.  Additional information may also be available by going to our online forum at ...://forums.verizon.com/.
Thanks for being a valued Verizon Online customer and we encourage you to act now to ensure your email account has the proper settings on a going-forward basis.
Sincerely,
Verizon Online

Presuming that the message is real, I tried to make changes detailed at  http://verizon.com/emailsettings to the configuration window of my Apple Mail account. . Apple Mail allows setting only one port (I presume for incoming mail) and allows setting SSL and authentication method for that port.
So there is no way to follow these instructions
> Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465  Why is this important?
> Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.
I've set my outgoing server to outgoing.verizon.net as directed. Need I do more? If so, where?
(Glad I don't rely on Verizon for my main email account)
A detailed step by step for Apple Mail users would be appreciated

TWC/Comcast testing broadband cap, what does it mean for Apple TV?

Read an interesting article in Newsweek about some cable companies (currently testing) limiting broadband downloads and charging extra when the user exceeds the cap.
Has anyone thought what this could do to users of Apple TV and other download services?
Movies that start out as $2.99, $3.99, $4.99 could end of costing much more depending on the cap and extra charges.
It's just another way for them to generate revenue and curb usage of "other"(insert Apple TV) alternatives to their On-Demand services.
Crazy stuff.

I have a feeling this is certainly on of the primary reasons cable providers like Time Warner and Comcast are fiddling with this.
They say it's because of maxing out on bandwidth, but they keep selling packages for greater bandwidths! How can you get a 12Mbps downstream speed and pay for it but then have them not guarentee it?
It seems to me that if bandwidth was that limited it would be throttled rather than placing a fee over top of high downstream usage. But then again, all they care about is making money and protecting their empires. Eventually this will end up in anti-trust court if they believe they can continue to play this way or until a really solid and widespread alternative competitor pops up like Verizon FIOS which isn't available in many areas yet.

IMac 20", 128 meg of 256 meg, what does it mean for performance?

I was always a firm believer that generally vram didn't play a huge part in performance, other than it's clock rate obviously, it just allowed you to run higher resolution. I've heard some claim the 256 meg version has a noticeable speed improvement.
Questions are: What is the clock rate of the processor and memory in each version? I'm mainly curious if they are the same, but am also curious if it's the same clock rate as in Intel laptops. I know the Macbook pro is tuned down for battery life from the factory, and have heard rumors the iMac is also.
Other question is, is there a performance difference in gaming at native resolution and lower for the 20" iMac? And if so, how much are we talking? 52fps as opposed to 50fps, or something more substantial?

I have the 256MB vram version and I can tell you that the stock speed of the x1600 is 400mhz core/400 mhz memory. I do not know what the stock speed is of the 128 MB version. The 17", the speeds are closer to 300/300.

What does hiding mean for generics in this situation....

The type parameter Object is hiding the type Object
public interface PipelinePiece<Object> extends Listener<Object> {
public void setListener(Listener<Object> l);
}I know this is not the most ideal code and E or something might be better than object, but I was having other problems writing a few classes that tie together as generics. I am just curious about the above warning and if there is a correction I can make to get rid of it?
thanks,
dean

but what if you want to deliberatly have a subclass that only accepts Listener<Object> or Listener<String>, etc. etc. Is this not possible then? or not advised.
