What is this hidden "feature" in mobile Safari for and how can I use it?

OK, one day, like any geek would, I was in the car messing with my iPod touch. I was playing in Safari, typing in email addresses and such to get the exciting "WARNING - PHISHING SITE" screen. So I then tried typing "/" into the address bar, and when I hit "go", something interesting happened. The "/" changed to "file:///", and it tried to load it, but then popped up with an error message that said "This page could not be opened because it is a local file". Now I'm not new to the "file:///" thing, and I've used it to access folders using Chrome that Explorer wasn't showing for some reason. So, what if that tag used for? Obviously Apple has a use for it somehow since they included a little shortcut to get to it. I'll post some screenshots below so you can see what everything looks like:
So if this happens to have any use at all, I'd like to know about it!
I also asked this question over here: http://lockergnome.net/questions/157444/what-is-this-hidden-feature-in-mobile-sa fari-for-and-how-can-i-use-it

That is a shortcut for opening a file locally stored on the iPod. This is not really useful since iOS does not permit such access to its file sustem.

What is javadoc for and how can i use it?

Hello,
I want to know what for
*/is and how I can use it?

It works like this:
You add comments between /** and */ in your source code for all your classes, methods, variables etc. Then you run the javadoc tool, which is included with the JDK. Read the Javadoc Tool Documentation for instructions about how to use it.
The javadoc tool looks at the comments in your source code and generates a directory containing HTML pages. The HTML pages contain the documentation of all your classes and methods.
Why would you want this? Because other people who are going to use your source code do not want to browse through all of your source code all the time to find out how your classes work. Having a good manual in the form of HTML pages generated by javadoc is much more convenient.

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it delete cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Your Other is so large, however, that there may be corrupt data contained in it (unless you send a lot of MMS messages with large attachments). If this is the case you should restore the phone as New.

Thanks for the help. The restore seems to have solved the problem. I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

A package is just a way of organizing your code. You organize the code in directories. For example if you have a package called "package database.util" you should put the Java code in a directory called "database/util/".

You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

What's this crap on my plot legend? And; how to get rid of it?

Forgive the lack of a technical term; but what's the crap (shading/vertical lines) added to the mini-plot previews on the Plot Legend on this XY Graph in LV2012 SP1?
And how do i get rid of it to make it look more like the original (e.g., just a solid color background)?
I would normally specifcally identify these parts by name; yet it appears these parts have no name:
a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"] {color: black;} a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"]:after {content: '';} .jrd-sig {height: 80px; overflow: visible;} .jrd-sig-deploy {float:left; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img {float:right; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img:hover {opacity:0.8;} .jrd-sig-deploy:hover {opacity:0.8;}

Figured it out: it's from setting the Plot Area:Colors:BG Color property to Transparent. Changing this to a solid color likewise changes the preview to a solid color.
Bonus points: who can describe those design elements that appear when plot area is transparent? This is not a trick question; i don't know the answer, and am curious.
a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"] {color: black;} a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"]:after {content: '';} .jrd-sig {height: 80px; overflow: visible;} .jrd-sig-deploy {float:left; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img {float:right; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img:hover {opacity:0.8;} .jrd-sig-deploy:hover {opacity:0.8;}

How can I use the NI PXI-6508 with Lab View 7? what are the first steps to get started??How can I use the channels with lab view 7????

I have a 8 slot PXI system with 2 NI PXI 6508 and 1 DMM 4070 in it. I want to get started with programming the digital I/O cards (6508)! How can I use this cards with LabView 7?what is the best way to get started, or where can I get examples showing how to use the several channels?
Thanks!
Philipp

Philipp,
The best way to get started is to decide if you want to use traditional NI-DAQ or NI-DAQmx. Recently we released NI-DAQ 7.1 which provides NI-DAQmx support for the PXI-6508. In my opinion, NI-DAQmx is more efficient and much easier to use.
To get started with examples, simply launch LabVIEW and go to Help>>Find Examples. Then expand Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx and select the appropriate digital group for your application. This should help get you started.
Please repost if you need addition assistance. Good luck with your application!

What is a finder window in cs6 windows 7 and how can i access it

what is a finder window in cs6 for windows 7 and how can I access it?

Hi there,
Can you give us a little more context so we can better help you?
For example, where did you see this term mentioned? It confuses me because the Mac OS has a "Finder window", but I think you're saying that your operating system is Windows 7. And in Windows, the File Explorer is the equivalent of the Mac Finder.
Am I correct in thinking that you're using Photoshop CS6?

What is eprint and how can I use it?

i just discovered e print on my wireless printer and hooked it all up. What is the purpose of having e print and how do I use it as an e mail tool? Can you give me some examples?

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
When you register your ePrint-capable printer with hpconnected.com, and your printer is alive on a home network, you can now print to it from anywhere in the world via email!
Any file added to an email as an attachment , and sent to the printer's email address will be spit out of the printer! This works for phones, computers, tablets, etc.
You can print a simple email itself by forwarding the email to your printer's email address. I set up a Contact in all my HP devices named "Printer", and I give it the email address HP provided me when I registered the printer. Anything I want to print is done by forwarding to "Printer"!
Using an Android device, or iOS device can be enhanced by downloading the HP ePrint app. It will add additional wireless printing capability to the devices.
