What is happening with my new line install?

Hi,
I don't normally post on anything like this, but feel I am being left no alternative, other than cancelling my order.
I am a new customer to BT and on the 14th of May I placed a order for a broadband and phone package, which was to include a new line installation on the 5th June between 8am and 1pm.
I also ordered a new phone system and dual wifi dongle which all turned up as expected.
On the 5th June I took a day off work and waited until just after 2:30pm for the engineer not to turn up.
I received no call, text or email telling me that the appointment had been cancelled, it took me to call BT and finally manage to get to speak to somebody human to find out that it had apparently been delayed.
First I was speaking to somebody from the UK the next I was put through to order management in India, which started to infuriate me more as the line was really bad and I was calling from my mobile for then to have them hang up on me.
I called back a further 3 times after being passed from pillar to post to eventually get put back in touch with a order management lady in India again.
She told me that the problem was with openreach as they reckoned they had tried calling me on the 14th May (when I placed the order) to which I replied I had not received any phone call from them.
They wanted to know if it was a first or second line installation, I replied 5 times with it is a separate line that needs to be installed and I still don't think she understood after that.
I was then told I would get an update on the 12th June between 8am and 8pm as to when the line was going to get installed, to which I did and again was a bad line as the call came from India just to be told there is another delay which will be the 19th June.
At this point I'm beginning to lose my patience, I had waited nearly a month for the line installation to happen to be told that there was another delay which would take another 7 days before somebody updated me again.
After I put the phone down I received a text from BT sms saying they had tried to contact me but we're unable to do so but not to worry they will be back in contact on the 22nd June?
Very strange seen as I had just spoken to somebody and was told the 19th June.
I rang back through to BT and got put through to India yet again where the signal was poor and asked that somebody call me from the UK as nothing seems to be getting sorted.
Within 10 mins I got a call back and was put through to BT in Dundee, I explained the whole situation over again and was told they would be looking into the problem and would get back to me later on the same day the 12th June.
It is now the 17th June and I still have no answer as to when the line installation is taking place, so I can start using the equipment I have paid for.
if I knew in the first place that this was going to be a problem I would have used a different provider other than BT, as a new customer I find their lack of communication and generally not seeming to give a **bleep** about customers poor, with my only choice then being if I don't get the answers I want on the 19th June I will cancel the order and send everything back for a full refund and would advise others not to use BT in the future.
Sorry for the rant and this being my first post but I am beginning to lose my patience any help would be appreciated.

If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
MacBook (sold before November 2006)
Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
iMac (sold before September 2006)
It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

What's happening with BT Broadband Talk??

When I joined BT some years ago I was advised to use BT Broadband Talk, as this was a VOIP service the calls made via BT Broadband Talk were cheaper than made via a landline (at least that was what they told me when they sold this to me).
Recently I found out that the call rates for Broadband Talk calls and landline calls are the same, but also that some of my calling plan features do NOT apply to Broadband Talk calls!!
As I have been using only my Broadband Talk number to make calls, I was just paying for calling plans while they were not being applied on my calls. I don't know when BT all changed this, but it looks to me like they are phasing out the whole BT Broadband Talk service!
Can anyone let me know what is happening with Broadband Talk???
(I guess I better use skype anyway...)

That's indeed what I thought but when I was chatting with a BT support person, this was what she told me (copied from the chat log):
"Quatta: Can you send me the international calling rates to Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Germany when calling from the main line vs when calling from the broadband talk line?
Junaid : the prices are same if you call from land line or bt talk broadband i will tell you the charges bare with me
Quatta: Okay thanks - yes please send me the rates
Junaid : Netherland-2.50, Spain-2.50, Belgium-2.50 and Germany-2.50 all the amount is 2.50 pence."
After this i search the bt site to see whether BT BB-Talk had cheaper internatonal rates listed (as i did not trust this chat-reply) but no where on the site you find seperate BT BB-Talk rates for international calls. This chat happened on dec-7, 2011 - that's why i started thinking that BT is making this voip service less attractive so that their existing customers drop out on it and they can terminate it (as they already stopped taking on / promoting BB-talk to new clients). So don't think the cheap calls advantage is there anymore. cheers Rob

What is happening with FCP 7 now?

I've just been engaged to make a film in a remote isolated community. They want me to set up a 'film studio' for the community at the same time. Normally this would be a no-brainer for me. I'd arrive with an Apple Tower, several monitors, some decent speakers, and FCP Studio installed.
I'm wondering what is happening with FCP these days. All I've heard is negative rumours about FCP X being an amateur app (iMovie upgraded) and FCP7 being discontinued. I may not even be able to buy FCP Studio (with 7)?
I have a distinct disaffection for iMovie ... the underlying logic has always eluded me. I've been a faithful Final Cut user since the very first version, have cut scores of films with it.
I'd love to hear the 'latest' news about how Apple is handling this, or not.
I hate the idea of trying to set up a community studio with any of the alternatives.
All ears,
Ben

Hi Tom,
By 'current interface' do you mean FCP X? I haven't had time to try it yet. I've never liked iMovie. I love the simplicity and 'logic' of FCP - once one has worked out the most efficient pipeline.
I find I can show someone how to edit in FCP in about 30 minutes. It took my son about ten. And then the learner is on his/her way with great ease. (I think it's a matter of having myself figured out over the years a very efficient 1,2,3 ... eschewing the 10 other ways to do every operation; I suspect it's the 10 different ways to do each operation that most people find confusing).
Fogo Island Newfoundland out in the North Atlantic is a particularly enlightened place, quite fascinating. Very film savvy. I'd want to set them up with something professional - they might easily turn out some decent filmmakers. Meaning 'professionals'.
If Apple was planning to upgrade FCP X to a professional app in the near future (I'm just quoting what I've heard rumoured) then I could see going that way. I have to confess that I also don't want to have to spend a month getting up to speed on FCP X before heading out for Fogo. And then looking incompetent when I discover I can't do something on it (that I take for granted in FCP 7).
All the best Tom.,
Ben

What's happening with cold fusion?!

first, this very page is throwing js errors in both ie8 and firefox 24.0 , i can't reply to any posts
then, with all this flurry of security breaches on gov websites running cold fusion, do we have a comprehensive white paper showing how to plug all the security holes that were uncovered?

Thanks Carl,

Site seems to be working fine for me. As to plugging security holes,
there are two things you need to do:
1. Keep your servers updated with the latest patch(es). If you are
on CF10, use the built-in automatic updater. If on CF8 or CF9, take a
look at David Epler's Unofficial Updater project.
2. Follow the appropriate ColdFusion lockdown guide for the version
you are running.
For CF9:

What's happened with appkey in Tuxedo 7.1/8.0?

Does anyone know what's happened with appkey in Tuxedo 7.1/8.0?
We are using the custom authentication service which checks
the user name and password against the table of registered users
and returns the user ID as follows:
tpreturn( TPSUCCESS, userID, NULL, 0, 0);
In application services we extract this user ID from
svcinfo->appkey.
Our applications based on this scheme run pretty happily under
Tuxedo 6.5/Jolt 1.1 vol.3, but doesn't do so under
Tuxedo 7.1/Jolt 1.2.1 (patch level 100) as well as Tuxedo 8.0.
Instead svcinfo->appkey is always set to 0x80000000 whatever
value is returned by the authentication service.

Of course, I've set SECURITY to USER_AUTH, and defined AUTHSVC
as "AUTHSVC". The C-function implementing the AUTHSVC service
is called on establishing a new session.
Please note that I take applications that are in operation
for several years now (in fact, they run on our production
machine at this very moment).
I just recompile/configure/boot them under Tuxedo 7.1/8.0 and,
to my surprise, they don't work.
What's more interesting, the initial release of Tuxedo 7.1 does
not have this bug. The problem arises only after applying
the patch (#100). Tuxedo 8.0 does not work as expected from
the very beginning.
In patchlev.txt I've noticed two lines related to appkey:
038. CR042563 update appkey after a call to impersonate_user (jolt)
048. CR044066 Incorrect appkey passed when interoperating from Tuxedo 7.1 to
6.5 (jolt)
It looks as if the problem was introduced with one of these
fixes.
Maybe I should mention that we run Tuxedo applications under
Windows 2000.

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WITH IWEB NEXT YEAR WHEN MOBILE ME CHANGE TO ICLOUD?

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WITH IWEB NEXT YEAR WHEN MOBILE ME CHANGE TO ICLOUD?

Don't use all caps. It's tantamount to shouting and more difficult to read.
It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

What will happen if I don't install ios7 on iphone5

What would happen if I dont eventually install ios7 on iphone5? i've been hearing about all the battery drain issues and reluctant to install ios? I heard something about phone would not functioning properly because of updated new apps on an old software? Will apple fix this issue possibly?
Back when I had a 3G and installed the new update my phone suffered drastically and for 4 yrs was stuck with a phone I had to charge constantly after 2-3hrs of consecutive use or less.

Nothin will happen. you will be able to use the phone the way you are using it right now. Apps crashing is not actaully because of ios 7. ios 7 just came out so most of the app's developer havent actually made their apps compatible with ios7 thats why most ppl are having the issues. If the battery issue is because of ios 7 than Apple defintely will fix all the issues eventually with another update.

Testing Lightroom 5 - What will happen with my Lightroom 3 catalogue??

I am currently working with Lightroom 3. What will happen with my catalogue file(s) if I start the test of Lightroom 5? Is it possible to switch bak to Lightroom 3 after testing without restore of the "old" Lightroom 3 catalogue?

In short, Yes.
When you install and launch LR5 it will find your catalog(s) and when it tries to open them it will promt you to approve conversion from 3 to 5.
This will duplicate your catalog (not the assets) and leave your version 3 catalogs untouched.
If you want to return to a version 3 catalog for some reason then you will simply open it with LR3 which will remain on your machine.
Note that the newer features will not be available or readable by the version 3 catalogs. So if you make changes to a raw file using new tools those changes will not show when viewing the file in LR3 catalogs.
To properly "test" LR5 for your purposes I recommend you catalog new files and not the existing ones you have until you are comfortable with LR5. When you are comfortable, then upgrade your current catalogs.

In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How to write to a file with \n (new line)???

Hi there,
I have the following method that reads a file's content and convert it into a string:
     public static String getFileContent(String fileName) throws IOException
          File file = new File(fileName);
          FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
          BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fileInputStream));
          StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
          String line;
          while ( (line=bufferedReader.readLine()) != null )
               stringBuffer.append(line+"\n");
          return stringBuffer.toString();
     }I'm trying to write a method that writes a String to a file WITH THE NEW LINE. All classes I used (DataOutputStream, FileWriter, PrintStream...) do not force a new line (I get everything in one line)
I thought maybe I should change the "\n" in the line
stringBuffer.append(line+"\n"); but...didn't know what.
thanks for any advise

BufferedReader readLine remove the newline sequence. But you're putting \n back which should do what you appear to want.
However newline sequence isn't always just \n, on unix systems it's \n, on windows its \r\n (reads "carriage-return, linefeed"). Sytem.getProperty("line.separator"); will get you the appropriate end of line string.

New Line Installed - Promised 10MB on getting 4MB

Migration Planning: What will happen with clients when changing namespace?

Hello,
We are planning to upgrade our EX2010 enviroment to EX2013.
Sadly our namespace in EX2010 is right now owa2.domain.com. The name owa2 is coming from last migration between ex2003 and ex2010. I'd like to remove this minor flaw if possible.
But what will happen with all the clients and mobile devices which are right now bound to owa2.domain.com? Is it possible to change the name back to owa.domain.com without manual interaction with the clients?
Kind Regards

Hi ,
Based on my knowledge for services like pop,imap and active sync we need to have the manual interaction.Without manual intercation we cannot achieve this.
Same time we need to have the new name on the SAN certificate .
For owa users you can simply communicate the new url via email and then for internal outlook and external outlook connectivity we need to repair the profiles to force the autodiscover service to fetch up the new name.On my experience most of the times repair
will not help.So again your only hope would be reconfiguring the existing profiles.
Note : Most importantly before renaming the host A record on the external and internal dns all you need is to reduce the TTL value for the existing host A record on the name owa2.domain.com.So
that external and internal clients will not have the dns cache for a long period.
Anyhow we will wait for some expert inputs on this case.Because their ideas might be good and different than me.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

What will happen with the code?

What will happen with the code below?
for (i=0; i<=10000; i++)
Object[] obj = new Object[5];
In every loop, a new Array of Object wll be created. Will the Array of Object created in the
current loop( for example, i=2001), eliminate the Array of Object created in previous loop
(for example, i=2000 or 1999)? How the memory is allocated in every loop?
Thanks.

Each time through the loop, an array of five Object references is created. A reference to this array is assigned to the reference variable obj, causing the previously allocated array to be unreachable (except the first time through the loop, if obj was originally null). The garbage collector will collect these unreachable arrays if the memory gets low.
