What is better?: Compiling with newest WTK or oldest WTK

HI:
I have installed the WTK 2.5. It's cool but I have a question. The MIDlets compiled with this new WTK are more or less compatible with older/newer phones?
If I compile a MIDlet with this WTK instead a older WTK (like WTK 2.0) Executes the code more quickly? Using less memory?
Thanks!!

more or less compatible with older/newer phones?It is always better to use the new wireless tool kits since, the oler emulator related bugs would have been eliminated from the providers. Also, most of the toolkits are backward compatible.

WTK (like WTK 2.0) Executes the code more quickly?
Using less memory?May be on the desktop environment you'll feel that difference since, new toolkits would have been optimized for performance but it is better to determine the behaviour on device (or) set the heap configurations based on the device in the emulator and check.
Compiled byte codes remains the same whether you compile with toolkit 2.0/2.5.

What is better Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Exel

I am working on Macbook pro retina for around 16 hours a day, it is ok but the screen is to small. I am opening about 25 - 30 EXCEL windows, 20 - 25 safari windows at the same time. Excel windows are small, they only show 40 rows and S column Now I am considering buying iMac 5k ( but the screen is only 27", however a very high resolution but I think that fonts and digits displayed may be too small ). I am also considering Mac Mini or Pro with 40" 4K TV ( 4k computer monitors are 27 - 31" , so better idea would be purchasing iMac 5k ) . The problem is that 40 - 42" TV don't have Display Port ( I can't find it anywhere )
Please help me to choose what would suit my needs better. I need large screen to work comfortably with an Excel sheets. What is better? Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Excel ?. The other problem I have is that when I spend 16 hours at work with retina macbook , my eyes are ok. Using the 30'' Dell screen 2560/1440 my eyes are tired after 2 hours.
Thanks for your help on advance
Best regards
David

Currently you can only get 4 K at 30 Hz via HDMI. Some users have reported jerky curser movement because of the 30 Hz.
I would go for the 5K iMac. You can add a second screen at 4K.
FaceTime HD camera
Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels on an external display
Support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes
The Mac Mini supports:
Support for up to two displays at 2560 by 1600 pixels, both at millions of colors
Thunderbolt digital video output
Native Mini DisplayPort output
DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
HDMI video output
Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
The 2013 Mac Pro can use three and more displays:
Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays - Apple Support
I would go for multiple screens

from : OS X Beta Seed Program FAQ
How do I get a shipping version of OS X back on my Mac?
To get a shipping release of OS X on your Mac, you can simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update.
How do I leave the OS X Beta Seed Program?
To leave the program, visit the Leave Program page and follow the instructions to remove your Apple ID and your computers from the OS X Beta Seed Program. This will stop pre-release updates from appearing in the Mac App Store on your computers.
You only need to do more than you already have, if you'd rather not see future pre-release updates.

I downloaded 4.0 RC what should I do with the 4.0 Beta? remove? help?

If you downloaded and ran the installer, you will probably have beta 12 and RC1 installed, you do not need both and can uninstall beta 12. Just make sure you do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" is you uninstall beta 12, that option will delete all of your Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords.

What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing. tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

What is better: Builder 2 oder Plug In

Hi guys!
As i couldn't find much about that, here is my question.
Maybe it is interesting enough for some experts to have smal
discussion.
What is better to use: builder or th plug-in.?
I don''t really need the to have a design view, so pure code
would be enough for me. And what I hate about the builder is the
performance when compiling large projects. Is this better if you
use Eclipse (which version) together with the plugin. Can you have
both installed and use the same project workplace to "share" the
projects, depending on what you want to do?
What gives me the best performance for writing, compiling,
debugging?

Attempting to use flash builder beta 2 with beta 1 sdk

Hi,
I'm running into a few issues migrating a project I've started in Flash Builder Beta 1.
The biggest mistake I probably made was uninstalling Beta 1 and I can't seem to find where to re-download it. Is it available somewhere?
It would not be necessary except for the fact that I'm catching errors trying to use Flash Builder Beta 2 with the 4.0.0.7219 sdk.
When I set my compiler to use the beta 1 sdk, Flash Builder first throws an internal build error. Then I can't return to properties > flex compiler, getting a "could not accept changes error." Below is the log output.
I plan to migrate my project to Beta 2, but would love to do it in a separate workspace...
Any help, suggestions much appreciated!

Hello,
I reproduced your issue exactly as you stated. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like FB Beta 1 is publicly available. To get out of the broken state, you can go to your workspace preferences (not project properties) and under Flash Builder > Installed Flex SDKS, switch back to the 4.0 Beta 2 SDK that came with Builder.
I am going to ask around to see what the problem might be, as I am unfamiliar with the code that is causing this. There may or may not be a workaround, but regardless, I think we'd recommend that you upgrade your project from Beta 1 SDK to Beta 2.
Thanks,

Why mplayer in i686 repository is not compiled with vdpau support?

I was kind of surprised when I find out that mplayer in i686 repository is not compiled with vdpau,
since it is in x86_64 repository,
I know I could enable vdpau easily by compiling the package myself,
but wouldn't it be even better if it is built-in in the official binary?

I think that the dynamic loader would then search for libvdpau.so, and not find it on systems without nVidia-drivers, which causes the program to not load Also, it's not very KISS to have several different packages for different needs in the main repos. That's what AUR/ABS's for.

Example code for java compiler with a simple GUI

There is no question here (though discussion of the code is welcome).
/* Update 1 */
Now available as a stand alone or webstart app.! The STBC (see the web page*) has its own web page and has been improved to allow the user to browse to a tools.jar if one is not found on the runtime classpath, or in the JRE running the code.
* See [http://pscode.org/stbc/].
/* End: Update 1 */
This simple example of using the JavaCompiler made available in Java 1.6 might be of use to check that your SSCCE is actually what it claims to be!
If an SSCCE claims to display a runtime problem, it should compile cleanly when pasted into the text area above the Compile button. For a compilation problem, the code should show the same output errors seen in your own editor (at least until the last line of the output in the text area).

Suggestions reordered to suit my reply..
kevjava wrote: 2. Line numbering, and/or a line counter so you can see how much scrolling you're going to be imposing on the forum readers.
Good idea, and since the line count is only a handful of lines of code to implement, I took that option. See the [line count|http://pscode.org/stbc/help.html#linecount] section of the (new) [STBC Help|http://pscode.org/stbc/help.html] page for more details. (Insert plaintiff whining about the arbitrary limits set - here).
I considered adding line length checking, but the [Text Width Checker|http://pscode.org/twc/] ('sold separately') already has that covered, and I would prefer to keep this tool more specific to compilation, which leads me to..
kevjava wrote: 1. A button to run the code, to see that it demonstrates the problem that you wish for the forum to solve...
Interesting idea, but I think that is better suited to a more full blown (but still relatively simple) GUId compiler. I am not fully decided that running a class is unsuited to STBC, but I am more likely to implement a clickable list of compilation errors, than a 'run' button.
On the other hand I am thinking the clickable error list is also better suited to an altogether more abled compiler, so don't hold your breath to see either in the STBC.
You might note I have not bothered to update the screenshots to show the line count label. That is because I am still considering error lists and running code, and open to further suggestion (not because I am just slack!). If the screenshots update to include the line count but nothing else, take that as a sign. ;-)
Thanks for your ideas. The line count alone is worth a few Dukes.

What is going on With Windows 7 and all my xp hardware?

Hi, I dont normally ask fro help in forums, as a computor silver surfer user since windows 95, I generally manage to get a resolution by sheer home learning, But Im livid with this new computor i just bought, which i can not get any of my xp components to run or be recognised by this awful windows 7, Im near to taking out the Hard Drive Out and buying a new one, and putting Xp on it.
First off, sorry if bit long winded, but there is two major issues, one non Sound card related, one creative labs one is.
First, can someone tell me, why , when i connected my vertabim 320gig usb external drive, which was connected to my win xp for a year. Windows 7 kept asking me in middle of email,s middle of games, what wanted to do with it's? In the end, i got a message saying do u want to use this drive for nero backup, well, as this is a back up drive, i said yes, imagine my horror, when i found it had changed its name to "Volume drive E;" not F: even worse, all 60 gig of movies built up over 5 years had been completely wiped off? There is nothing left in it now, just a folder calling itself backup. but everything else has been erased. is there a chance its been saved somewhere else in win7?
Second problem, I use Soundbaster audigy cards for a very long time, which has a graphic equalizer in it, which i must have, to enable certain programs like ASIO that need to fine tuned using a graphic equalizer, my last one i bought 3 months ago, after old one packed up, I took it out of the xp computor, and reactivated the onboard xp one, so i can still use it, But once it was put in this new win7 grr computor, my problems started,as soon i restarted after installation at start up i got a runtime error win32 blah blah, which has still not gone away,god knows where that came from. After 3 attempts at instaling the card from the disc all was ok with graphic equalizer too, however next day, Wind 7 decided, I couldnt have it, and everytime i started it to edit a wave with it, it kept telling me no device supporting it !! THEN IT GOT WORSE, it downloaded something called Alchemy, which was a creative update, now i have no graphic equalizer at all now, and terrible tinny sound from my good 2. surround system worse than the inbult one, which was disabled. i have searched and searched, and spent 3 days now, trying to get the software to work , these being the G.E. the eax and bass boost etc. Every Win7 downloads for creative labs audigy card, wether from here or third partys have failed to install the components I must have. I bought and tried some demo graphic equalizers from cows site, None of them interracted with any of them, it was if they werent there, although inputs and outputs was set to the card it found. After spending another 8 hours today trying to sort this, I found other sound cards made by creative on amazon, which i use a lot, to my horror, the only cards that seem to have a G.E. and works with win 7 costs 177!! There is no way im going from a 120 sounblaster to 177 xfi, just cos i need a system graphic equalizer, Im just about to upgrade my photoshop elements 4, to elements 9, cos win7 wont accept the 4.0 version. so that another 155...!!!! i rather take out the whole H/D and buy a new one and reinstall XP. got to be better than paying out 130, its insane!! Notes or comments on how, if at all, I can get this sounblaster audigy G.E to work would be greatly welcome, as would the lost 60 gig of videos from my external drive.
Cheers mike

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

SUNWspro iostream error while compiling with SunStudio 10

We are getting the following error when we try to compile the C++ code using SunStudio 10 on Sun Solaris Sparc server.
We made couple of changes in the source code 1) whereever we have stream.h we replaced it with iostream.h and 2) include fstream.h whereever required.
Can anyone tell us where did it go wrong.

Remove the -I directive that points into the compiler installation. You should not have have -I or -L options that point into the compiler installation area, into /usr/include, or into /usr/lib. The CC compiler driver knows where to find system headers and libraries, and in what order to search the directories. If you force a different search order, you can break something.
If removing -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd does not fix the problem, compiling with -P or -E will show you the preprocessor output, and looking at the lines with the errors will usually show the source of the problem quickly.
BTW, you should be aware that the ".h" form of the C++ headers, like <iostream.h> and <fstream.h>, is not standard. Using them is not portable, because not all C++ implementations provide them, and those that do often have different content.

Hi Vinu,
I'm not sure if this is still an issue for you. When I have encountered issues like this with Pro*C I have ended up specifying parse=none to the proc command and then putting all declarations between "EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION" and "EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION" markers. I have also moved any "special" declarations into a specific header file and then placed the "#include <special header file>" inside the declare section as well.
Perhaps that will help a bit,
Regards,
Mark

I/O timeout all the time on console - what can I do with my hard drive? Macbook pro late 2011

My macbook has been extremely slow for a while and after looking on this site I discovered I should look at the console - and noticed I had I/O timeouts all the time which I gather are a problem.
What can I do with my hard drive? If I back it up using time machine and erase the disk with zeros will the problem continue if I simply restore from time machine?
Or should I invest in a new hard drive - but if I buy a new hard drive is there something on my computer that will wreck that one as well? i use final cut pro/studio a lot and it's got to the stage where I can barely use it - do I need a 7200rpm hard drive? My current one is a 500gb 5400rpm.
I have 16gb of RAM in but since upgrading this from 4GB it made a difference to the speed for all of two seconds then the computer returned to its normal slow speed.
Would appreciate any help on this issue as I'm not particularly technical.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the Console logs are showing... although I/O timeouts, if related to reading/writing to your disk may be a problem. I would have to see the whole Console message to know for certain...
Your hard drive is sure to be slowing you down with FCP. Your best bet would be to upgrade to an SSD, if you can afford it. It's the only way you're going to see a real speed increase in FCP as so many large temp/cache files are written to the drive.
If you can't afford a SSD, you may want to look at a 7200rpm SATA III drive (if your MBP supports SATA III - which model do you have? 2011 or later, I'm assuming, since you note that you've 16GB of RAM?).
You should also update your OS to 10.7.5 if your profile reading of 10.7.2 is correct. Won't help speed, but will be more reliable -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582.

What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or5

All,
What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or500? I have a new MACPRO with FCE HD and I wanted to convert some of my older video that was recorded on a HI8 Camcorder... Thanks.

I have the ADVC-100 (older model) and ADVC-110. They are identical except that the ADVC-110 does not come with an AC power adapter. Currently sells for about $220USD. If all you need to do is convert from HI8 tapes, the ADVC100/110 will do the job quite nicely.
The ADVC300 adds some enhancements for video signal cleanup, but at a higher price. Currently sells for about $450USD. The ADVC500 is overkill for home use.

What is better?: Compiling with newest WTK or oldest WTK
