What's the point of light tables?

So... can somebody explain to me the point of a light table? I moved the photos around... and then what?
I understand that it's for visualizing photo combinations and things like that, but you can't export anything. It seems that it has potential but that it's a forgotten and underdeveloped feature.

I feel the light table feature is a very valuable, flexible tool, that is underutilized. In addition to the other examples shared already, it is useful for color correcting photos takes at differing times of the day/lighting conditions though belong to the same project (i.e. weddings), and for putting together blog posts, editorial projects...
It is a really great tool I hope never leaves Aperture

0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
etc.
etc.
Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions).

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.
I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.
Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.

I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.

What are the delta mechanisms and tables used for Lo Extraction & COPA

Hi all
what are the delta mechanisms and tables used for Lo Extraction & COPA.
please explain clealry.
Thanks & Regards,
James

James,
Please go through Roberto's weblog :
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it
Anyways,
As you know LO cockpit consists of different modules(MM, PP, SD, etc)
They are called appl components. Each of them have a number (eg.MM=02) and for each appl comp they might be different Data sources and for each DS they might be different tables. So, unless you be specific we cant tell a specific table for a DS.
coming to the delta mechanisms, there are " direct delta, queqed delta and serialized delta".
Copa is based on the oepration concern. it can be created on " accouting based" or "costing based".

What is the Point of Active Directory/LDAP Specification?

My college threw an interesting curve ball today and I couldn't give him a good enough answer. The question was simple 'What is the point of active directory'. Now I don't have a lot of exposure to active directory, but I thought I could easily answer. My argument was; If you have a group of objects its easy to look up attributes for those objects using active directory. For example, if you have a group in AD and you want to verify the users of that group you simply look up the member attribute of that group. However he argued, rightly so, that you can do that with a table in a database, why do that in AD. I couldn't give him a good enough answer and now I'm curious. Given the above example, why use AD over a database?
To me AD is a way to manage a set of resources, whatever they are, by mapping them to objects that have however many attributes. But we could do that in a database, whats the point of AD? Why do you use AD?

I come from a primarily database centric background. Just like life experience, it casts a certain perspective on problems. Database people solve things with databases. Directory people solve things with directories. Everyone has their perspective. It's not really about who's right and who's wrong. It's about perspective because people are most likely to go with what's familiar when given a problem. It's easy to have this conversation in a educational environment but when you're on the job it's about turf, schedules and careers. My latest job (in which this debate comes up a lot) has been about directories which has been a very enlightening experience because I've been given a gift of perspective. I can put on the directory hat and look at it from another angle.
To get back to your professor's question. The answer is easy. LDAP (AD or other) is an application above a database. It has a data store behind it, in most cases we can just assume this is a database. So, in short, it's apples to oranges. But if we insist on comparing which makes the better juice, let's look at how we'd make a database like a directory. We could create a data model with an attributes table, an entries table and so on. We can deconstruct what LDAP data structures really are and implement each type as a table with FK/PK relationships and so on. It's sure to work because there are already so many products on the market doing this very thing. But think about the effort now. How are you going to add new users? A front-end? Stored procedures? Scripts? How are you going to keep someone from seeing things they shouldn't? You have to insert an object into all the right tables to ensure that your data is consistent and valid. In a pure database, you're trying to create ACLs on database rows. Now you're writing a full featured application with a lot of complexity. Given enough directory features, the database isn't going to be able to do everything without an external application.
What is the point of LDAP? It's got hierarchy, ACLs, group of unique names functionality and things that are a layer of abstraction above the data store. I love databases but if you start designing out a directory server from scratch you'll realize it's far beyond comparing a user.ldif to a row in a user table. They are similar in appearance but different types of software.

What is the POINT of the Creative Cloud App?

This is a bug report and a rant:
Every time the CC app updates, one or more of my Installed Apps disappear from it. With the last update, all but two disappeared.
The apps themselves (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, etc.)are all still there on my system, and run fine, they are just gone from the CC app.
So my question is not facetious - WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE CC APP?
Do we need it?
Do we want it?
Please - don't sing me the "uninstall and reinstall" song, I've done it over and over and it won't play.
Fix it or lose it!
Thanks

What's the point of this code?

Hi, I'm getting an error in a program.
So I went to look in the code where the error is displayed.
And I found this:
z_nbjr = sy-datum - z_fromdt.
if z_nbjr > 1.
message is displayed.
Now, z_fromdt is the value TVARV-LOW for 'ZVDL_VBUK_LAST_RUN', and the message that is displayed is 'Please rebuild index file ZVDL_VBUK'.
Can anyone explain to me what is the point of this? What is TVARV-LOW?
And why do they make this check? And how do I rebuild the index file?

As Pushpraj has already pointed out correctly, TVARV is where the variants are stored. It's rather strange that you've never seen fields like LOW and HIGH, because they're also used in the ABAP range tables (see Help for command RANGES).
Since this is all your custom development, we, unfortunately, cannot know what is the point of all this. I'm guessing that the message to "rebuild the index" is also custom and, therefore, you would need to find a documentation for the program in question or ask your colleagues what this could mean. Also check if there is a long text available for the message (although I doubt that).
Most likely it's some kind of an internal process of running some other program.

What's the point of archiving to ALAC?

I did all the googling and learned pretty much all I need to know about archiving my 1000 CD collection to ALAC. And I just successfully ripped my first ever CD to ALAC.
The only question I never saw answered anywhere was whether or not there is any advantage to ALAC for archive purposes now that hard drives are so cheap.
I just bought a 2TB drive at Costco for $130.
The first CD I ripped was 693mb, per iTunes. Once I ripped it to ALAC, it was 450mb. That's a space savings of 35%.
If my average CD has 650mb of data on it ... times 1000 CDs in my collection ... that 635 gigs.
If I save 35% via ALAC, that's now 412 gigs. That (now, on a 2TB drive) is a negligible difference.
So I'm asking ... what's the point? This isn't 2004 when 200 gigs would have cost a lot of money.
I understand for playback, ALAC is cool because you've got tags and album artwork.
But for archiving a CD collection to a hard drive just for the purpose of safe storage ... is there any advantage anymore to converting the file format?
Why not just use Toast or whatever and save a bunch of disc images?

John_Neumann wrote:
Thank you, Ed2345.
Regarding your last sentence ... isn't making a new physical CD pretty much the same process whether disc image or ALAC? I understand you just drop an IMG into Toast and hit burn ... or drop an ALAC into XLD and hit burn. Or is there a step I still don't understand?
-JOHN
John,
It is not actually the same process. The burn from disc image copies the image, i.e. all contents and structure, onto the CD. The burn from ALAC (or WAV or AIFF) reconstructs the audio, creates a table of contents, adds its own gaps, and then burns that to the CD.
However, if your future intent is to use the songs in a player such as iTunes, the ALAC files will be ready to go, while the disc image will still need ripping.

What is the point in converting type to shapes rather than just flattening at required resolution?

Ok, this may sound like a stupid question. Lets say I'm designing a trifold in Photoshop. The printer requests that designs be done at a resolution of 300dpi.
What is the point in converting all type to shapes prior to saving or embedding fonts when I can just flatten my entire design at 300dpi? Isn't that what the print shop is going to do anyway...just flatten my design? Or do they print type at a higher resolution than the raster portions of the design? This has confused me for too long. I hope someone can clear this up. Thanks

The core of the bad advice is telling you to rasterize all your type. In light of this bad advice, the fact that they're saying 300ppi does make sense, because the last thing they want are images @ 2400ppi!
That been said, Photoshop is never the right tool for most text applications anyway, even though it does support vector output (to a point, and with some issues that are sometimes problematic to get around). If you have larger text that needs to be integrated into the image, or effected with Photoshop filters, etc. that's one thing, but if you're laying out paragraph text / body copy / lyrics and liner notes for a CD, etc. then you should be using Illustrator or InDesign -- an app that is designed to handle vector text and objects.
re: online printers: sorry, I haven't used any as of yet. I do have a couple of one-off book projects I'm going to send to Lulu, and a friend here in work uses Overnight Prints and seems pretty happy with them. But aside of that, I can't really offer any specific recommendations. Hopefully someone else can chime in here.

AVCHD/ HDV- What's the point

This is probably as stupid as it sounds, but it suddenly struck me today, but what is the point of having AVCHD/ HDV compatibility and editing on FCE/ FCP if you can only burn the projects onto a standard def DVD? Does FCE give you any other options in tems of what you do with your freshly edited High Def content? Do you lose a heap of quality when you burn it to DVD?

hey there qsack,
in the USN i was told the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. you can send your HDV project back to tape in your cam to watch on your HDTV... the shoot/edit/distribute flow that we have in DV, is not yet ready w/ HDV, partly because of the cost of the burners & the R&D to develop the authoring software for mass commercial use(make it simple enough for average users as w/ iDVD). also the major studios are probably closely guarding the technology in part due concerns about piracy, also the HD-disc format war thing.... these are just some of the speculations on why we can't yet burn our HD movies to disc.
i've burned some of my HDV content to SD discs & they look pretty good, because i had good lighting to start with. though i dropped down a lot in terms of res from 1080i to 480p. i was okay w/ the results & as w/ most graphic types be it print, photo or video, it's usually better to start out w/ more or larger(1080/720) & if you have to shrink it(480) you still have a decent image rather than have a small image & try to scale up. for example--a photo from a 10 megapixel DSLR "RAW" file will still have a lot of detail & look good when it gets down-converted to a JPEG vs. a photo from a 2 megapixel phone camera that starts as a JPEG.

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?

Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//Cheers

Aaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that?

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.

What's the point of warranty?

I am a student coming from Hong Kong to London for postgraduate study. Before I left Hong Kong, I decided to buy a netbook for my lecturers in the UK. Lenovo s10-2 was chosen because the version available in HK comes with 6 cell battery with international warranty and Lenovo Protection Service (against accidental damage).
This is the first Lenovo machine for me. All was well and I was starting to appreciate Lenovo. Suddenly, the LED screen started to flick with white lines moving across the it, just two weeks after I bought it from Hong Kong.
Yesterday, I called the UK support line who initially suggested replacement (because the purchase is last than 30-day old). However, when the agent found out that I bought the machine in Hong Kong, he said I could only get it repairs. Fair enough.
I packed the netbook this afternoon ready to ship it to the repair center. Being not sure about whether or not my proof of purchase was needed, I called the support line again. This time, the agent gave me a "friendly warning" or maybe a management of my expectations.
I was told that Lenovo believes that there is a 99.5% chance that these type of problems are due to “internal damages" caused by users! I was also advised that sending the machine in for repairs risk myself getting into paying 230 pounds (pretty much the purchase cost) to get the LED screen fixed because it is likely to be not covered by warranty. On top of that, I would have to pay 65 pounds even if I want my netbook back after inspection without getting fixed because again, 99.5% chance that "damages by users" would be concluded!
What's the point of warranty? Totally unacceptable. Any thoughts? Should I take the risk?
I only got the machine just over two weeks ago and used for less than 10 times!

seblee,
This bears a bit of looking into to provide you the best answer. Sometimes, the accidental damage policies are only valid in the home country, and I would like to check. If that were to be the case, you would have replacement or repair options in HK, but standard warranty terms would likely apply in UK.
Your situation sounds exceptional, and I'd like to look into this and see what can be done.
Can your send me a private message with your contact information and the serial number from the bottom of the unit?
Sorry that you are having this trouble. Will see how we can help.
