What's the advantage of the cairo-lcd package ?

Hi all
I've followed the wiki on the lcd font config and installed cairo-lcd etc
and it seems that the fonts are better
but it's so subtle that i suspect it's purely pysochological feeling
so i'd like to know the advantages of this lcd thing
thx

I used the -lcd packages with my old desktop machine and I felt an improvement with the fonts rendering then.
But I have now a new desktop PC and a new screen (Samsung SyncMaster), I installed recently Arch x86_64 on it.
I use KDE 4 with Fonts Setting : anti-aliasing Enabled, Use sub-pixel rendering RGB, Full Hinting style.
I chose to use the dejavu fonts in KDE and Firefox.
And now I am satisfied with the official freetype2, fontconfig, libxft and cairo packages.
My fonts are nice enough without the patched packages.
So I subjectively feel no more the need to do otherwise for now.
Edit : I forgot to mention I also followed the wiki with :
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
ln -s ../conf.avail/10-autohint.conf

What is the diffrence between package javax.sql and java.sql

Is javax designed for J2EE?
And when to use package javax?

Hi,
What is the diffrence between package javax.sql and java.sql?The JDBC 2.0 & above API is comprised of two packages:
1.The java.sql package and
2.The javax.sql package.
java.sql provides features mostly related to client
side database functionalities where as the javax.sql
package, which adds server-side capabilities.
You automatically get both packages when you download the JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition, Version 1.4 (J2SETM) or the JavaTM 2, Platform Enterprise Edition, Version 1.3 (J2EETM).
For further information on this please visit our website at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/index.html
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Hi,
As far as my view there is no such dependancy as our customers are running in same Environemnt (R/3 4.7 EE and BI 7.0) .
Are you facing any problem durng extraction or its just a proactive approarch .
I hope extraction will work with your current landscape.

What is the best security package for an imac using yosimity

What is the best security package for an imac using Yosimity

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

What is the Optional Installs package on the install DVD?

Can anyone shed some light on the Optional Installs package on the install disc. For example, what does it upgrade in Address Book or what is the optional iPod support?
Thanks.

Thanks, but my question is not what are the items but what changes would be made to them if you install them from the Optional Install package. The items are: Address Book, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Mail, Oxford Dictionaries, Safari, X11, iPod Support, Additional Fonts, Language Translations and Printer Drivers.
Although some of these also appear in the "Custom" install section of the default package, these are separate and distinct in the Optional Install package. For example, Address Book, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Mail, Safarai and X11 were already installed as part of the default installation. What upgrades would be done by this Optional Install?

What's the Best LCD (20"/ larger) and best Graphic Card choice /G4 733DA?

I know very little about the great choices for flat panel displays and also graphics cards on a Mac G4 733DA
So any recommendations would be sincerely appreciated.
What's a good LCD (20"/ larger) and the best Graphic Card choice for a G4 733DA? A friend recommended an ATI 9800 Pro (Mac Edition) Is this a good choice?
My current G4 733 Digital Audio has a standard VGA port as well as an ADC port.
Will I need to upgrade the existing graphics card if I’m looking to view wide screen?
Here's what i currently have on my g4 for a graphics card:
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX:
Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0110
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 1045F
Displays:
VGA Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Lastly, is 1080p even possible on this mac system provided I perform the above upgrades to say an ATI 9800 Pro (Mac edition)? Or will this also require a major dual processor CPU upgrade?
SDMacuser

The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is the best card you can put in a G4 Power Mac. As for supporting HD, I believe its a mix between CPU and GPU, based on your system. The Radeon 9800 should support HD, and any HD supporting LCD. Price, wise, for a HD ready screen I'd say the a high quality Dell LCD would be good (it uses the same panel as the Apple 20" LCD) but costs less. You should not have to upgrade your CPU, although it would not hurt to look into it.

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro- What is the Everything Else package?

Inside there's a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD and a 13-Inch MacBook Pro Applications Install DVD- do I need to install them? What do I do with them? Thank you As you can see, I'm pretty much new to the Mac world so thank you for taking the time to answer me!

Just like with a PC, the CDs are included for the worst-case-scenario of you having to reboot the entire system. They're used if you have to clear the harddrive and re-install the operating system and basic programs like iLife. As to what to do with them, keep them aside in a drawer/folder or something so you know where they are and you won't lose them. Enjoy your Mac!

What is the role of Packaging Team

Hi,
I have around 4.5 yrs of experience in SAP FICO and a Certification in FICO. Have worked for 2 Full Implementation cycles and 1 partial Implementation Cycle, and 2 support projects as a FICO consultant. Now the project where I am working, its a support project for a global roll out. When Issues come which impact the Global Financial Template it is handled by the Level 3 team, while I am at L2 team, which looks after local changes. L 3 team has their own developement and quality clients.
After L3 makes any changes which has an impact on the Global Financial Template, the Packaging team moves in and checks the impact of the changes on the Global financial template, stacks the transport request in a sequence and hands them over to the Release Team which then moves it to the local testing client.
Now, this packaging team is being moved to India and I have been asked to lead this team. Now I am working as FICO Consultant.
If anyone has worked or seen a Packaging team working, please let me know whether it will be a Good move to accept this role. I am worried because, I fear I will forget FICO and there wont be much of impact analysis also to be done in this role and when under pressure all we will be doing is bundling transport request and handing it over to the release team.
It would be really nice of someone if someone can guide me through this critical phase.

Hi Ram,
This is not exactly Regression Testing. IN this role I will need to analyze the transport requests, do an impact analysis and give a go no-go decision whenever any change is going to impact the global template.
Advice me please if it is a good idea to take up this assignment

What is the business package for appointment calender

In SAP GUI version we have appointment calender accessed by Tcodes SSC1 and SSC0
what is the corresponding business package and iviews in the portal
is backed calender fully synchronised with portal?

Ross,
I do not think there is a business package for your requirement. However, you could use the transaction codes to access them from portal or probably check this collaboration feature to see if it fits your requirement.

"Verify that you have selected the right BC4J package"??

Through out the "Dev guide", while describing steps to create Association Objects, view Link, etc, it has been mentioned to "Verify that you have selected the right BC4J package". What does it actully mean? What is the 'right' BC4J package. In various sites(Anil Passi), I have noticed, they have created three packages, server, schema and webui. But, nowhere in the documentation, did I find that these packages need to be created for "custom development". Will I run into issues, if I create packages with a different name? Are there any docs explaning the different right BC4J packages that need to be created. Or is this a basic understanding that all Java Developers know and follow.
Kindly throw some light.
Thanks!

vimal,
This is not mandatory that you have to create these packages but these are the standards, which need to be followed.
In toolbox tutorial you will find the description about the packages structures.
