We recieved the new guid update it terrible. it's a pail blue with white text, a smaller text size , and it stayson screen for 3 seconds you couldn't read it if you could see it w/the white on light color. do you guys ever look at demmographics the largest sement of population are baby boomers , hello has anyone heard of age related blindness or at least decline. the old info bar stayed on longer so you had a chance to read it and the font size was large enough, and color contrast allowed me to read from the next room now you have to be on top of the tv. and keep hitting the button to read it. are you guys trying to give people another reason to leave if so you're doing a darn good job!

I agree 100%. This is absolutely ridiculous. Bring back the old format, if this is the best you can do. This extremely difficult to read.

so on this board i want to use ur bios update system and update this system to a bios that is overclock friendly for amd 3800+ x2
what do you guys recommend?

Is the single core a 3800+ or something else? If it is a 3800+ then you must take into consideration that the single core stock speed is 2.4GHz and a 300MHz isn't that much of an OC for it. X2 3800+ on the other hand is 2.0GHz and 2.7GHz is 700MHz OC, a much larger difference and harder to accomplish than on a single core. In fact there were plenty of people with an X2 4200+ 2.4GHz that could barely reach 2.7GHz stable. Tell him about it Jeff.
Oh my yes...the opty 180 (dual core 2.4 GHz) I had frustrated me to no end. Very good chip mind you. Great memory controller...in fact ran 4 gigs very well, but couldn't push past 2.7 with any stability at all. Honestly, I finally gave in and backed it down to around 2.5. Not very exciting, and I tried for weeks and weeks in every configuration imaginable. Annoyed the heck out of these guys...I am sure. But they were patient and I was and am grateful for what I learned. Put an Opty 185(dual core 2.6 GHz) and pushed 3.0 GHz and more on stock voltages and still held onto the 4 gigs...even though the board because of the stress the 4 gigs puts on the memory controller, natively underclocks the ddr400 to 333 it runs 24/7 prime95 stable at ddr374. Very good memory controller in this Opteron 185. It just depends on you, the chip, and the luck of the draw.
Sadistic of you Henry to laugh at my trials and tribulations and, I might add, parade them for the enjoyment of all.

Takes SO LONG to re-render when editing - What do you guys do?

Tonight I was working on a minute-and-a-half promotion video for a NewSong concert I am promoting this coming weekend.
I used LiveType for all my text... Say I have a ten second LiveType file that I am using. I decide I want to change something - I click "open in editor" and whala, LiveType opens and I make my change, click save, go back to FCP and the change is made.
However, even with dynamic rendering on, it is still nearly impossible to see just how exact one's timings are etc. so I have to render the LiveType section of the sequence. Sometimes this can take up to 20 minutes, but usually around 6-10 minutes. Still, that is a lot of time for me to sit back and watch my computer work.
What do you guys do to speed up your project creation time as it relates to rendering and being able to see how your timing of edits look etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Not really answered. I guess everyone deals with this. < </div>
I answered your inquiry completely in the first response you received. Your desire for an answer you like does not change the horrible reality of your situation.
Learn to work with your tools.
If you don't like your miserable tools, hone your skills.
If you cannot or will not improve your working skills, get better tools.
If you can't or won't get better tools, learn to sharpen the tools you've got.
If you won't learn to do that, try to find another job because you're never going to be happy with this one.

UBER ANGERY TECHNICIAN..... WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING!!!

Hi I've been in the business of end-user repair, training and servicing for about 20 years. I've owned computers from every major manufacture on the market and I've repaired computers from every single manufacture on the market. This will be the second time in my life that I've actualy taken the time to register and post to a manufacturer forum....
Today I serviced an IBM Lenovo PC Model#41V9706 Like any intelligent technician I backed up all the customers irreplaceable data prior to beginning, and was informed that the customer had NO disks to speak of for their system. At first I thought, "ahh, common customer disguarding their important disks... As usual, But then I looked at his face and realized he was 65 and rich... Any way I found the restore application on the hard drive, ran it and created a boot disk. I then proceeded to try to restore from the backups on the drive. Didn't work (Great job btw on making good working backups....) Finally I did a manufacture restore and the @#$@ing thing deleted the entire drive BEFORE it told me that I needed more disks to do the manufacture restore. Are you guys out of your mind creating a program that is so backward that it doesn't even tell you that with out the disks it leaves the system completely useless? As of yet all of the lenovo software is now gone, I've had to install a fresh and blank copy of windows using the customers install key and NOW I can't even get their factory software back onto the system because a copy of it doesn't appear to exist.
I'm sorry to be so frank but what the heck kind of restore program deletes all the backups before it tells you it can't help you?! Even windows doesn't do that. If I am ever to recommend or endorse another IBM product it will need to show some intelligence in it's design and include fail-safes or at least some kind of warning system to let people know that it is completely useless before it deletes data. I am in the process of contacting customer service about this but I am not hopeful as my experience shows that for a small fee of $49.99 I might have the software replaced... What a royal piece of crap.
Your backup product receives a lousy 2 in my book your only redeeming qualities are it's ease of use and it's ability to work when windows doesn't.
Jess

call lenovo 800 in your country to get the original software disk and drivers, if you are in warranty time you get no fee to paid, and is 3 to 5 days to receive the disks

What Would You Guys Do?

I make this summer video type thing for my friends and family every year. This year I wanted to have something at the beginning to really make it cool so this is what I was thinking... I wanted to do a 1 shot opening set in high speed from getting up in the morning to getting to the lake we always go to... The difficult part of this is that I want to have the credits of the people who are in the movie appear on objects as I drive on the street like you see the street signs say a persons name with there picture, or I pick up a soda can and its not the brand name on there its a persons name and picture. So my basic question is how would you guys do this? I assume shake would be the best program for placing the text and pictures on the objects and making them look real, I'm just not as good with shake as I am with Final Cut Studio 2. I have only had shake for a little while now , and dont really know what the best way to do this would be.
Also i am using a camera that records on mini dv tape just so you guys know, I have heard some people say that changes the way you work with shake a bit.

Hmm I would suggest key framing a corner pin. Or if you want better results use tracking. Take a text node in the image section and then add a corner pin which is in the transform section. To keyframe it press the button with the key on it under the video. Once your done get and over node and put the text in the first input and the video in the second. If you look in the tutorial pdf you go with shake it will tell you how to do this with a tutorial replacing a bus sign. Hope that helped.

What IDE you guys can recommend?

I basically use this programming enviornment: JDK+Emacs+Other shell tools.
It works very fine and productive to me.
However, I would like to try some IDE now since at this moment, I need to do a lot of things on visual looking. I think IDE might help. I used to use JBuilder, NetBeen, etc. So, I got SunOne and tried it. But, I was very disappointed. Looks like all old NetBeen's visual edition funtionalities are gone. But, there are much much more things piled into. I think, this is not good at all. Why would someone interested in visual GUI development care about Servelt and Server? It does not make sense to jamp all these into one.
So, what IDE can you guys recommend? I basically want to have a Visual Basic IDE like tools to do visual GUI things. I still want to do other things by my old way: JDK+Emacs+Other shell+Ant (Thanks for Cygwin, it works very well in Windows also). I am no fun of Microsoft. But, I have to say, its Visual Basic IDE is very good, though Visual Basic is a total joke.
What can you tell me?

Yes. IDEs all have these problems. But, sometimes, it is much easier to use IDEs. At now, my application is ready. But, I need to polish it so that visually it looks great. To do so, I have a tons of small things need to be done. To do these small things, it is very hard in not visual approach. I hope I can find a good IDE so that I can just import my working jars and edit the visual lookings. Just change size, fonts, color, background, ... Hopefully, IDE will not change my codes too much so that I can still have good handle on all codes.
I think used the NetBean just can do this job. But now SunOne is so fancy and it can't do these things well any more. Too bad, isn't it?
By the way, seems the recommended IDE from IntelliJ does not work for my case.

What do you guys use for scratch disks on iMac?

We're about to upgrade to new iMacs / Mac Pros and I'm wondering what you guys use for your second scratch disk? Thunderbolt dock? Thunderbolt G-Raid?
Has anyone successfully made their global scratch disk their fibre connected shared storage (Terrablock) and not had Premiere behave strangely? That would be the best option I think, but found that Premiere froze up a lot more when we did.

I have a pair of 4-bay Pegasus Thunderbolt 2 enclosures attached to my Mac Pro, and one of the volumes in one of the enclosures is my scratch space.

What are you guys monitoring thru?

I have logic 7 running on my dual gig G4 at my recording studio with a motu 2408mk II, adat hd24 goin into a yamaha 02r. I'm comeing to the conclusion that I may not need the 02r especially if I get to the point wher I'm doing everything in L7. Seems I would just need something to monitor thru and something to control L7. How are some of you guys monitoring Logic 7 ? I would love to get comments to give me some ideas on which way to move forward.
Thanks in advance
RD

I run Logic through Lavry 4496 "Blue" converters, as well as an RME Fireface (both set up as an Aggregate Device) to a Personus Central Station.
The Central Station acts like the monitor section of a console, which gives me a talkback to the studio, multiple speaker selectors, as well as a few other bells and whistles, such as Dim, Mute, and a volume knob.
The Lavry's act as my inputs and outputs to the Studio, while the Fireface, in conjunction with a Hear Technologies Headphone system, allows me to send multiple outputs to the Hearback headphone mixer. This way, I can send the talent in the studio various elements of the mix, that they can set up anyway the like, leaving me to not have to deal with it!
My preamp is a dual Neve 1272, with a 2-1176 compressor.
Monitor speakers are Dynaudio BM6's and Yamaha NS-10's.

What are you guys doing... This is boring as hell...

I am even starting to wonder why like... You know why. So that there can be a red red the whole time you guys were intercepting my phone. But that being said, why don't you meet me outside. Let's have a talk shall we? I'll be there at 3:36am

PS. Make that 5 minutes from now I need to find a few things

What do you guys think of this site/pricelist/ any advice?

Hey guys,
Just finished up launching my graphics business website -
www.coastgrafix.com.
Have a look at it, let me know what you think, didn't want to
get to advanced with flash on it etc. - If you have any pointers or
ideas for it or the pricing let me know!
Regards,

As others have said, your menu text defies legibility, but so
does all
of the text except "CoastGrafix" in the logo. The Serpentine
font is
particularly hard to read, even in print, and as graphic text
at the
size you are using it, might as well be hieroglyphs. It is
also, as
others have noted, a very dated type face--it does convey a
"high tech"
feeling, but the "high tech" of about 1982. The HTML text is
too small
and white text on black is hard to read.
The highlight colors for your menu are confusing. A color
that serves as
the highlight color for one menu item is the not-highlighted
color for
several others. Two shades of gray are used for two menu
items'
highlight, and the orange... well, it's hard to summarize
what the
colors might mean here, and that's a problem.
Also, the color scheme that you seem to be trying to use on
menu items
to indicate the current page is inconsistently implemented or
just an
accident that looks sort of deliberate.
You are using orange with an underline for links, but using
the same
color (without an underline) for emphasized text. This is
confusing.
On your ???? page (can't tell which page it is from the
design, and all
of your page titles are the same) you have an image that says
something
like "HOT SPECIAL." Clicking this launches my email program.
I have a
very strong aversion to links that are email links and not
identified as
such. You would do better to use a form for this function
anyway.

What were you thinking...

Its kind of hard to work like this... I could live with one dead pixel, an awful trackpad and a key that doesnt work half the time (the T-key) but this just makes me sad..

Waited a bit to say anything but while I think the drop down with custom colour menue for a CD is great to look at and that is very nice - I've been working for about 6 hours with the new iTunes and it is incredibly cumbersome and just simply not any of the intuitive and user friendly nature of its older version left.
Visually yes very nice - with two exceptions - playlist has no artwork showing now and loss of cover flow - not that cover flow was particularly useful just a visual interface not found anywhere else.
Between the clunky nature of new iTunes and its penchant for going back to the beginning every other click and whoever it is at iTunes that is responsible for entering their data (and calling things whatever strikes their fancy) it has lost almost any functionality for items not purchased from iTunes. With well over a 1000 CD's I'm entering now this upgrade probably has cost me several weeks if not months in work.
It seems also the sortability is very deminished. Feel it has pretty much lost the user friendly and more intuitive nature apple was built with and while visually it is lovely functionally it feels like a bad windows product. iTunes by imap - pretty much sums it up.

Windows Server Backup cannot backup to network or mapped drive - Microsoft what were you thinking?

I still cannot believe that you cannot do a scheduled backup to a network drive in windows server 2008. You can only do it to a local internal/external drive. Microsoft are you crazy? That goes against all best practices for backing up your data when you should have a backup at least 60 miles away from the original server. Gives us back the NT Backup tool or provide a solution for this.

Your feedback is valid. This issue has been fixed in WS2008 R2.
Thanks,

That doesn't exactly help people who run windows server 2008 now does it?
something so trivial that could be done in server 2003 with NTBackup and it wasnt included in server 2008? WHo overlooked that.
Why can this not be fixed in server 2008 with a update or a service pack?
Also, then why is it you can do a MANUAL backup to a network drive, but not a scheduled one?

Windows 10 looks like a stripped down version of linux what do you guys think

Since upgrading to 8.0.1, on 80% of the addresses entered Firefox give me a "server not available - try again" error message. What did you guys do?

Since upgrading two days ago to Firefox 8.0.1 I get this error message on 80% of the addresses I try to access:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at orders.tigerdirect.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
What's the problem with the upgrade?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
