What's the best FM frequency to use for the Transm...

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty in getting my iPod car kit set up, so I am using my n900 for in car entertainment for the time being. Problem is that I can't seem to find a clear frequency to set the phone to use, so it doesn't keep picking up other stations whilst I am driving around.
I have just read that 87.5 is a good choice, as not many stations go that low. Problem is the n900 won't go that low, as far as I can tell.
Any suggestions?

The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
Let me put this into perspective..
From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
The USA has its OWN firmware
and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
Crazy and very very irritating

What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?

What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?
It seems that people usually show I/O examples with IOs like:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInptuStream()));
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
out.println("Hello World");
out.flush();
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
out.println("Hello World");
out.flush();When I say 'best I/O' I mean, can you give me an I/O that'll be the best if a MUD starts getting LOTS of request and becomes rather busy?
Thanks!

One last question, are output streams thread safe?A stream is inherently serial in the way it data is written to it. If two threads try to write to the same stream asynchronously, the ordering of the data written will not be predictable.
For example:
One class is recieving input from a user and
reply-printing thing like "Command Successful", and
another class is recieving messages from other users,
but the PrintWriter would be originally created in the
first class and then passed as a parameter to the
second class...would this work, or should I just
redirect all command replies to that second class?If they are in the same thread, then it could work. If there are separate threads, then some higher granularity synchronization needs to be imposed, so that the second thread doesn't start writing part way through the first's output.
For example:public class NeoThreadWriter implements Runnable {
final String name;
final int delay;
final boolean synch;
NeoThreadWriter (String name, int delay, boolean synch) {
    this.name = name;
    this.delay = delay;
    this.synch = synch;
public void run () {
    if (synch) {
      new Synch().run();
    } else {
      new ASynch().run();
class Synch implements Runnable {
    public synchronized void run () {
      synchronized (System.out) {
        for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
          System.out.println(name+":"+i);
          try {
            Thread.sleep(delay);
          } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
            iex.printStackTrace();
class ASynch implements Runnable {
    public synchronized void run () {
      for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
        System.out.println(name+":"+i);
        try {
          Thread.sleep(delay);
        } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
          iex.printStackTrace();
public static void main (String[] args) {
    try {
      Thread threadA = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("A", 40, false));
      Thread threadB = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("B", 20, false));
      System.out.println("asynchronous threads");
      threadA.start();
      threadB.start();
      threadA.join();
      threadB.join();
      System.out.println("synchronized threads");
      Thread threadC = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("C", 40, true));
      Thread threadD = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("D", 30, true));
      threadC.start();
      threadD.start();
      threadC.join();
      threadD.join();
      System.out.println("Done");
    } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
      iex.printStackTrace();
}With asynchronous threads A and B, the output is all mixed up. With synchronized threads the ordering of the output is maintained. Note that the guard has to encompass all of the code that generates the output; simply synchronizing the println invocations wouldn't prevent the mixing.

What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6. Thank you.

What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6. Thank you.

Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

Frequency of use for an ABAP object ?

Hi all,
i need in ABAP to get the frequency of use for an ABAP object like a program or function module. For example, for a program i would like if it's used often (by week, by month, day) or not.
Cheers.

Hi,
You can use transaction STAT or STAD for finding the statistics of usage regarding report or transaction.
You can also use the Function module <b>SAPWL_WORKLOAD_GET_STATISTIC</b> for getting the statistics of reports executed.
You need to get the dir from Function module <b>SAPWL_WORKLOAD_GET_DIRECTORY</b> and loop through the dir returned by the and pass the dir(internal table ) fields to the Function module SAPWL_WORKLOAD_GET_STATISTIC for getting the details
Hope this helps.

***Best Bit Rate To Use For The Zen V Plus 8GB

I've got the zen v plus (8gb) and I was just wondering what is the best bit rate to use, I've currently got ,32 tracks at "64kbps wma" on my zen micro(6gb) and I'm getting a bit tempted to enhance the quality of the tracks (to maybe 96kbps wma), but I don't want the space on my 8gb v plus to be consumed quickly.
Thanx if anyone could give me any ideas

96 kbps? If you want good sound and are using high quality headphones I would suggest using 256 kb
ps.
I use 256 kbps mp3 on my mp3 player. I tried 320 kbps and could not hear a difference between it and 256 kbps on my mp3 player. I could hear the difference between 92 kbps and 256 kb
ps.
I don't use WMA since WMA uses more battery power and gives you less run time per charge. It isn't a contest to see how many songs can be crammed into the player, but it is instead about enjoying the music. What good is having hundreds of hours of music crammed into a player if the battery life is 5 hours or less?

Best HDMI Cable to use for Thinkpad laptop

The display port is found in Lenovo laptops. If you want to convert to HDMI, you have to use an adapter. The approved adapter is the SIIG displayport to HDMI adapter according to this link.
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/No-audio-output-via-DP-gt-HDMI-converter-aft...
The next step is to connect the adapter to your monitor or TV using an HDMI cable.
HDMI can cost from around $10 to $100 depending on the brand.
On searching for HDMI cable, I noticed that there are several HDMI versions according to this site...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison
They are versions 1.0 , 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, 1.3b, 1.3c, 1.4, 1.4a
It was mentioned "Note that with the release of the version 1.4 cable, the HDMI Licensing LLC group (which oversees the HDMI standard) will require that any reference to version numbers be removed from all advertising from the cable only"
I guess 1.4a is the best one.???
In line with this...
What to look for in choosing the best HDMI cable to use so as to get the highest picture quality and audio clarity?
(And at the same time not overkill and cost $100+)

The best adapter and cable is probably the cheapest one (unless you need one that is like 50 feet long, then you'd need a slightly more expensive one). Go to monoprice.com and buy an HDMI cable for $5, I've bought several from there, and plan to get some adapters and cables for my W520 soon.
eg.
adapter: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042803&p_id=5714&seq=1&for...
cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024008&p_id=3992&seq=1&for...
But they have several adapters and a million HDMI cables so look around a bit.

What is newest/best/simplest Java XML API for loading/saving/validating?

Here's what I need to do:
- Load XML files. Preferably validate using XSD validation referenced by "xsi:schemaLocation" hints.
- Generate XML files. I'd like to be able to specify indentation (tabs?) and "xsi:schemaLocation" XSD hints
- I'm working with fairly small configuration files, so I'd like to work with document-centric (and not streaming oriented) APIs.
I've spent a full day reading articles showing different code snippets for different APIs. There are dozens of standards and APIs. Also, all the articles that I can find are several years old at the least.
This is surprisingly complex for something so seemingly simple.
What's the best XML API that fits my criteria? Any links for code snippets and up-to-date documentation?
Thanks!

Well, XML hasn't changed since it was formalized, and that was in 1999. So there's really no need for people to write new parsers every couple of years any more. And that's why you don't find new tutorials being written every year either. There's really not much need for that.
Anyway, my recommendation would be to use the classes that are built into your current version of Java. Use them for a while. Once you have experience with them, all those tutorials about other products will start to make sense and you will be able to make an educated decision for yourself.

What login name do I need to use for iCloud?

I'm operating on Windows 7 64bit.
I just installed iCloud and it prompted me to "Sign in with my Apple ID:" which I did.
Then I get this: "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account" - I am using a gmail address.
What domain do I need to be using in order for it to accept my Apple ID? The forum states that I need a new ID in the form of [username]@me.com and yet, MobileMe is no longer accepting subscriptions. I have an Iphone that is running iOS 5.0.1 and that, as well as my Windows laptop, will be the only things sync'd with iCloud. What do I do?

Have you tried the Communities Search Window... Top right...
The answer could be in there somewhere...
also, have you had a look at iCloud Help...

WHAT IS A GOOD AE FONT to use for mathematical notation?

Hello, what font would you use for graphics containing the following Greek and other symbols in After Effects of the Lorentz transformation?
I've been poking around the various fonts that came with my Production Suite Premium without too much luck.
Thanks!
Matt

At the link in Daftly's reply, the Mathematical Pi font is a good one, but a couple other thoughts...
The standard in the world of math publishing is, or will soon become, the STIX family of fonts. If you look at the bottom of their page and see the 6 huge organizations who are behind these fonts, you'll see why.
Any decent Unicode font (whether or not it has Unicode in its name) will have a full complement of Greek symbols.
What a Unicode font won't have are characters that stretch, like the parentheses in your example. For that, you'll need "math notation software" such as the ones Navarro mentioned. Either that, or you'll be doing a lot of manual editing in Illustrator.
The style guide for whoever you're submitting your work to, whether it's your university to which you'll submit your work or a corporation you work for, will likely have specifications for typesetting, and may specify a particular font. I've worked with a corporation that specified Palatino for publication, which I personally like as a font, but it's nigh impossible to typeset middle-level to advanced math in Palatino. Hopefully you can find some compromise.
