What is a good Lavaliere system
I need a good, clear, relatively inexpensive (<$1000) Lavaliere mic for a Panasonic Pro AG-HVX200A 3CCD P2/DVCPRO 1080i High Definition Camcorder?
We use the Sennheiser Evolution wireless and the Sony ECM 44b wired. Both are solid mics.
FWIW, wireless has it's uses and should be considered, particularly if you may use them in the future.
However, I always prefer a wired mic for a couple of reasons.
I think the quality is better.
You don't run the risk of frequency interference.
Another consideration regards the new 'changing' bandwidth availabilities. I'm no engineer, so will leave specifics to those in the know. But we've been advised that the spectrum of 'clean' wireless mic frequencies that will be available is shrinking due to the proliferation of many new 'wireless' devices.
My 2 cents.

What's a good way to manage custom schema for DS 5.1?
What's a good way to manage custom schema?
Custom Schema for Object Class and Attributes
The reason I ask this is because there might be a need in the future where I need to export those custome schema into different branded directory server. I just want to make this as painless as possible.
Right now, I thought of 2 options
1) Create my own LDIF file with my custom attributes and object classes, so if one day I need to export to another directory server, I can just copy that custom created LDIF file over. (Will this work?)
2) Create a JAVA application using JNDI. What this Java App. will do is read through a XML file and create those object classes and attributes on-the-fly. (of course, the XML structure will be predefined by me, so that my Java App. will be able to parse through it correctly. Will this work?)
Anymore suggestion? I would want to hear more advices and suggestions.
Also, I assume that will work even with replication. All I need to update is the master server, and the slaves will replicate automatically.
Thank you very much! :)Demo: I'm using the nul character to represent the end of the word, so that the data structure can represent that "hell" and "hello" are both in the vocabulary:
import java.util.*;
class Node {
private SortedMap<Character, Node> children = new TreeMap<Character, Node>();
//0 <= index <= word.length()
private void add(String word, int index) {
if (index == word.length()) {
children.put(Character.valueOf('\u0000'), null);
} else {
char ch = word.charAt(index);
Node child = children.get(ch);
if (child == null) {
children.put(ch, child = new Node());
child.add(word, index+1);
public void add(String word) {
if (word == null || word.length()==0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
add(word, 0);
public String toString() {
return children.toString();
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Node root = new Node();
root.add("hello");
root.add("how");
root.add("who");
root.add("hell");
System.out.println(root.toString());

What's a good way to do a thread dump into a separate file
What is a good way to do a thread dump automatically into a separate file.
Example. I run a script to do the thread dump, but unfortunetly, it goes into my stdout log file with the rest of my weblogic errors.
Any ideas? I want it in a separate file when I run my script?Do a Google search on "Drobo S" "benchmark." I don't have a Drobo S, only the regular Drobo. But here's a guy who tested one on Windows:
http://mansurovs.com/drobo-s-review-usb-3-0-2nd-generation
This one has it a bit faster:
http://the-gadgeteer.com/2011/12/31/drobo-s-storage-array-review/
Do read up on a few reviews of it, and be absolutely clear that interface speed (i.e. eSATA versus Firewire versus Thunderbolt) is NOT the same as the performance of the system. The Drobo cannot keep up with any interfaces... at least the Drobo and the Drobo S cannot.
I am not using the FS model which is a NAS. I am using the plain old "Drobo" which is slower than the Drobo S, but that's not to say that the Drobo S is fast, because it is not.
The Drobo in theory is really attractive: Dead simple to manage, can mix and match drive sizes, offers you some data protection, etc. However do note that protected storage is not, in and of itself, a backup. You need other backups besides just the data on the Drobo. And, because it's so slow, it's really not a great fit for photo storage. See this review from a guy who used to think the Drobo was great for that and then appended his review:
http://www.stuckincustoms.com/drobo-review/
To be as clear as possible, IMO the BEST backup strategy with something like Aperture (so long as your managed Aperture library is of a manageable size, like < 800 GB), is to get a few small portable Firewire 800 drives and keep vaults on each one. They are great because they are easy to use, to have with you, are bus powered, and you WILL offsite them. -
What is a good compatible graphics card
have a compaq presario sr1303wm from 2004,2005. Running xp home with onboard 64 meg video. 2.0 processor and over 1 gig. of ram. System # is PP150AA. what is a good video or graphics card for this unit?
Any AGP graphics card will work. You can find some for around $40 they will be better than what you have, but if you're looking to play games you probbaly won't be happy with the performance. I personally would save up and get a new system. Something with an AMD APU will be worlds better than what you have and can be had for around $400

The java option "-Xms" specifies the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. But what is it good for, other than the additional memory may be get a little more quickly when
default size < required size < initial size set with -Xms
If an application requires more memory, the JVM allocates more memory up to -Xmx.okay, but what if i can't predict, how much memory is
needed? (in my case, the application generates PDF
files based on dynamic XSL/XML content that could get
arbitrary big.)
another point is, that the application should not
behave "intrusive" by claiming all memory it can get.
instead it should only claim what it really needs.These are some of the reasons why the JVM, by default, adapts its
memory usage. If you go and change its behaviour by specifying
memory usage options then you are of course able to make the JVM
play unfairly with the available system resources.

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
Thank you
p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups. -
What is a good codec to convert MTS too for edting?
I heard that MTS or AVCHD footage is not good to edit with. What is a good codec to convert too?
No.
"Rendering" in working through PrPro is actually just telling the program to take the instruction set for an area selected and create new previews for that section. They are NOT really to be used in any final export process (there are only about two format/codecs that would work that way, and likely no one reading this is using them ... ) but JUST for playability in "real time" in the monitors during editing.
It is needed if between the computer specs & drive layout, the number of effects called for in a clip, and the particular codecs used, the playback causes the GPU to "drop frames" or get slow/erratic in motion. You simply select that section of the sequence, then right-click or go to the upper menu system or keyboard-short to "render selection". You computer runs for a bit, then ... playing back that section should be full-speed.
Someone who say uses mts files (which can at times be a bit of work behind the scenes for the hardware) and never needs to render before he's done with a project and exports it is saying that his computer handles mts file just fine with the level of effects he uses without needing to render any sections or suffer 'dropped frames' on playback.

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso
What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...
What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from. -
What is an upgrade distribution system?
In Apple discussion document 2465 [ https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465 ] I found this question and answer:
Q: Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
A: With all upgrades, backing up your data at least twice has been a given. Hardware can fail independently of downloads and upgrades, though may happen simultaneously. Software may be found to be incompatible that has not been tested with the new upgrade, or combination of other software that might be installed with the upgrade. It is also strongly recommended once your backup is complete, to shut down your computer, remove all but Apple wired keyboard and mouse (notebooks remove all input devices). Then once done, reboot, and go directly to the upgrade distribution system available.
Third party system tools, modification, and "maintenance" applications should be verified as compatible, or removed until known to be compatible. Check with developers how to remove if it is essential to use Lion before those applications become compatible. Most "maintenance" tools that deal with system cache, prebinding, are not really maintenance tools. Ask on forum when are the appropriate times to use them before assuming they should be used for upgrades or otherwise.
What is an upgrade distribution system?
Thanks.Well, if you happen to have several computers that run the same versions of software
and have similar need to upgrade them, essentially offline to not duplicate the costs of
bandwidth activity (and thus perhaps lose access due to overage fee or penalty) the
idea to download copies in a more traditional sense may be more difficult than with the
previous versions of OS X. With up to three Macs at similar OS X version build series,
it made sense to save all of the download compressed document or application files to
share with the other computers, to install & update them offline. And fully restore them
should the need arise, with complete copies of upgrade & updates, saved offline.
Now these require an Apple ID and other steps, the path isn't quite as clear. There may
be a path but it isn't as simple as copying a .zip file to a USB flash drive, and plug that
drive into another Mac, and drag the file to its desktop in Finder. It may be that simple
if you were to get the download without the baggage of ownership tags it may imply.
This is an area I haven't gotten into much, with only one Mac tied to an Apple ID.
The latest OS X is Mavericks 10.9.5, it is OK. I don't push it much with only 4GB RAM.
And the other computers mostly run Leopard 10.5.8. One Tiger 10.4.11. Another that
is seldom turned on, Mac OS8.6 (PowerMac 7600.) None are networked by server.
You could say I kinda made a mistake and kept a new old-stock Mini quad core server
that was ordered in December, so here it is. Although it asks on occasion for me to get
the AppleCare Plan, and extra RAM (it can use 16GB) it has two 1-TB HDDs. Sadly
both are only 5400-RPM rotational, not 7200-RPM; to supplement data transfer time.
Anyway, if you get a fair deal on a refurbished or new-old-stock i7 Mini quad core, it
may be a server model with dual hard drives. You could upgrade them & the RAM too.
And choose to not use the Server. With less RAM, now discontinued model runs OK
with the as-shipped Mavericks. Older stock was said to have Mountain Lion. Better yet
in situation where RAM and system resources are less. Yosemite likes even more...
Well, have fun with it, if possible...
Good luck & happy computing! -
What is a good storage size when purchasing an iPad?
what is a good storage size when purchasing an iPad?
Keep in mind > How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
Actual capacity on a 16GB iPad is approximately 13.82GB.
Video files can take up space fast not including other data such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Music, Notes, Apps, and Bookmarks so you may want to keep that in mind before you select the 16GB.
Your Mac must be running at the minimum v10.5.8 in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPad.

What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)?
What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)? I imagine they're still expensive, but I'm curious which would be good picks if I were to go for it.
I am using the Corsair P256 (256 GB) SSD. It is actually a Samsung drive. It works well, but will only give you part of the speed advantage due to the fact that the MBP from 2007 only has a 1.5 GB/s interface, while newer MBPs have a 3.0 GB/s interface.
Impact on battery run time seems to only be an increase of 15-20%.
Boot time on my MBP is 40 seconds to login prompt. System seems very responsive. -

What is a good cleanup tool for Mavericks?

Kappy's Personal Suggestions About Mac Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion, Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary. To assure proper protection, update your system software when Apple releases new OS X updates for your computer.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner 7.0.9, Maintenance 1.6.8, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
If you are using Snow Leopard or earlier, then for emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
Repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Update your backups in case an update goes bad.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. You can never have too many backups. Don't rely on just one. Make several using different backup utilities. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Final Suggestions
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

Most if not all maintenance is for troubleshooting problems. If your computer is running OK, then there isn't really a thing you need to do except repair the hard drive and permissions before installing any new system updates.
