What would these points and lines be?

I saw someone use InDesign and they had blue lines and solid points set between their InDesign objects in a document. (to determine the placement of objects and text, probably.)
But I have never seen this before!
They were certainly not guides or frames,
...just point A to point B points and then one straight lines in between,
so what could they be?

no, thats weird, it wasnt either one of them, unless anchored objects show those kind of points and lines. but they usually just show other stuff.

Photo/Video editing PC build; what would you change and why?

I'm in the planning phase of my first photo/video editing PC build. I've done quite a bit of research to this point, and I've finally come to a decision on all of the components (I think). After seeing how helpful everyone is on this forum, I decided to post my plan and see what everyone thinks.
Miscellaneous info: I am an amateur photographer looking to expand my horizons and venture into the video realm. I will be running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Lightroom 3 on a singe solid state drive and everything else will be on a 3 drive RAID 0 config. Eventually I plan on purchasing a RAID card and a few more drives for a RAID 3 (or 5) config, but that won't be for a while.
Ok, here's my planned build...

I'm looking forward to your responses!

"I'll take your advice and go with Samsung F3s. With the money I save (by not getting the WD Caviar Blacks), I'll add a 4th drive and use the RAID5 on the mobo until I can afford to upgrade to a proper RAID controller."
I might be a bit late, but wanted to let you know about motherboard software RAID configs (at least mine):
I have an older system running an ASUS P5AD2-E Premium MB containing a Silicon Image 3114 RAID chip. I originally configured a RAID 10 array with four 74 G Raptors for speed and redundancy. Figured if I lost a disc, I could just rebuid the array. Come to find out, the Sil 3114 chip does not support rebuilding the RAID 10 array.
I had lost a disc (disc was okay, just power to the disc was interupted) so was running on three. Fixed my power problem, went to rebuild the array and couldn't. So I figured what is the point of having a RAID 10 that I couldn't rebuild. Went to a RAID 0 with a backup disk.
Never checked the documentation to see if software RAID 5 through the SIl 3114 was rebuildable.
Mind you, I am not a computer guru nor all knowledgable about software/harware based RAID configs. But after talking to others who are the guru's, I found that I should stay away from the motherboard software RAID arrays and they mirror what Harm said about hardware RAID boards. But on a budget, the RAID 0 with a backup drive works for me.
Just my 2 cents to help.

Points and lines don't appear when i turn on graduated filter in LR 5.4

The points and lines delineating the effects' range are not visible when I turn on the graduated filter in LR 5.4. The effect works but without the points and lines I am pretty much guessing where the effects' borders are situated. It worked fine before the 5.4 update. I have no idea if it's related.

Got it, thanks!

What is watch point and break points?what are there types?

what is watch point and break points?what are there types?

Static Breakpoints
Static breakpoints are always user-independent if there is no specification of a user name. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application when program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For more information, refer to the chapter Static Breakpoints.
In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
Dynamic Breakpoints
Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
· You do not have to change the program code.
· You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer.
· You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached.
Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For more information, refer to the chapter Dynamic Breakpoints.
In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
Watch point are used to put logical break point for a certain condition..Example..If you want to know when the internal table is getting append..Then you have to give the program name and the internal table in the watch point..
Steps to create a watch point.
Start debugging '/H'.
In the debugging screen press the create watch point button in the application tool bar..
In the program give the program name..
in the field give the field name.
In the relational operator given '='
In the comp. field/value give the value ..
Hope this helps..

I just purchased the 4S and am having trouble with it at least once a day says Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it

I just purchased the I 4S and at least once a day, it will say Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it?

Then, if there's any data on the drive that you want to keep, you have to back up before you do anything else -- assuming it's still possible.
Basically you have three options:
1. Install a copy of the Mac OS on an external hard drive, boot from it, and copy the data from the internal drive.
2. Start the problem Mac in FireWire target mode (command-T at startup) and connect it to a working Mac with a FireWire cable. The internal drive will mount as a FireWire device.
3. Remove the internal drive and mount in an external enclosure on another Mac.
Once you've backed up, follow the sequence in the support article linked below. The article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running Lion) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

What are these processes and how do I prevent them?

For many years, many have complained of external drives that are in standby/sleep spinning up for no apparent reason. From the user's point of view this is unnecesssary, but to make matters worse, the system usually stops everything else while waiting for the drives.
I have a Mac mini that I use as a home theater pc. The media and backups are on a 5-bay enclosure (no RAID) attached by USB. While watching a video, the unused drives will go into standby mode, which is good. But then, with no user activity, they will spin up, freezing the video and everything else, which is not good. As these are slow drives and spin up sequentially, this can take 10-20 seconds. This may happen once or twice an hour, but sometimes more frequently.
In looking into the causes, I have turned off time Machine (after putting these drives into the Privacy section for good measure). I also prevented Spotlight and fsevents logging with the following:
mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
cd /Volumes/<drive1 and then repeat for other drives>
     rm -rf .fseventsd .Spotlight-*
     mkdir .fseventsd
     touch .fseventsd/no_log .metadata_never_index
As far as I can tell this has worked to stop those processes from accessing the drives after they are mounted, but the problem persists. To find out what else might be causing them to wake up:
sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
and here is what I found last night (actually didn't use the -w last night, thus it is cut off):
18:35:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/XBMC         0.000026   SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/Stuff        0.000006   SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/DatOptic_3   0.000005   SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/MacBackUp    0.000003   SSDragHelper
18:36:15 fsgetpath   /Volumes/XBMC         0.000026   System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath   /Volumes/Stuff        0.000004   System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath   /Volumes/DatOptic_3   0.000003   System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath   /Volumes/MacBackUp    0.000003   System Prefe
18:55:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/XBMC         0.000034   GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/Stuff        0.000004   GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/DatOptic_3   0.000003   GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath   /Volumes/MacBackUp    0.000003   GoogleSoftwa
After looking into the Google process, I was surprised to find the tentacles that Google puts into your system, and ripped every bit of it out that I could. But I have no idea about what's going on with SSDragHelper and System Prefe (presumable System Preferences). This must be OS X itself? What are these processes doing, and is there any way to prevent them from accessing these disks in this way?

Thanks for the reply Hen3ry. Looks like you've done a lot of investigation. For me, fs_usage entries accompanying spindown are not problems - I'm happy if the drives spin down. My problem is the spinups. But still, I don't think it is necessary to time the fs_usage entries with spinups. If you grep for the drives you're concerned about, you will see any process that would potentially wake them up.
Because my understanding is limited, I also am more concerned with the process/application that is accessing the drives than with the functions or commands they are sending. And the values that are returned by those functions are way beyond what I can deal with.
It's interesting that you've found a difference between your old and new drives. Could you specify the enclosure and drives in each case?
The StorageStatus app looks interesting; thanks for the tip.
Here's a summary of what I've done so far, which I think is working. I need a few more weeks to know for sure.
How to prevent unwanted drive spin-ups
If you are actively using the computer that the enclosure is attached to, nothing on God’s green earth will stop OS X from waking them up after some user action, even ones that seem to have nothing to do with the external drives. But if you leave the computer alone while some application is running, like watching a movie or downloading a file, you have a fighting chance of coaxing OS X into leaving the uninvolved drives alone.
If the drives are shared with any other computers over a network, eject them on those computers
Otherwise, OS X (AppleFileServer) will poll them every 10 seconds. This might not be bad if you want to just keep the drives spinning and the other computer stays awake.
Third-party apps
Make sure no apps are running that might access your drives. Google runs some processes that do this (maybe I’m naïve, but I was so shocked I removed chrome and every other trace of Google from my Mac mini system). Another is iStat and any utility that monitors SMART status in the background.
Don’t let Spotlight index or search the drives
Spotlight is persistent, and it may be necessary to take a variety of steps to stop its various processes (mds, mdworker) from accessing the drives and waking them up. In other words, kill it, drive a stake through its heart, then burn the body:
In System Preferences > Spotlight, add the drives to the Privacy pane.
Add a file called .metadata_never_index to the root of each drive (note the leading period). The easiest way to do this is in Terminal
touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.metadata_never_index
Tell Spotlight AGAIN to keep away from the drive:
mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
Finally delete the Spotlight folder from the drive.
rm -rf /Volumes/<drive1>.Spotlight-*
Stop fseventsd from logging in the drive
This is easy, just putting a no_log file in its folder. I have found that rarely it still writes some files in there, but it doesn’t seem to do so when it causes problems, so . . .
          rm –rf /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/*
     touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/no_log
Finder sidebar
Some people say that if the drives show in the Sidebar of Finder windows, the Finder will be checking them. I’m not sure. But to be safe, in Finder Preferences > Sidebar, uncheck External Disks.
Just say no to Time Machine
On the home theater mac itself, regular backups shouldn’t be needed. You should be able to just turn Time Machine off. However, it is probably sufficient to simply open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options and add the drives to the list of locations to exclude from backup.
Second, local backups can be disabled with
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Look for other culprits
If the problem persists, use fs_usage, which generates a real-time log of filesystem activity. There is so much going on that you need to use grep to restrict the output to entries that involve your drives. The entries that accompany your drive spin-ups are the ones you really want.
sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
Now leave the keyboard and mouse alone, as many things you might do will cause the drives to be accessed. You probably want to find what does it when you’re not actively interacting with the computer. It’s not really necessary to wait for your drives to sleep and see what wakes them. Any activity you see would probably wake the drives if they were asleep. When you see some activity and want to stop and examine, type Control-C to stop the output. On the far right of each entry is the process or application that accessed the disks.

What would cause multiple error lines to appear using validator logic

What would cause multiple errors to appear for a single line as shown below. I coded Regular Expression Validator with a specific matching pattern and all the patterns work fine. When I key in an invalid pattern on a row I get the following errors dislayed. Why am I getting multiple error lines instead of one. Also when the data in the field is in error the field gets cleared. How do I fix this problem?

Looks as though my RegEx script is not coded properly so it is causing the problem.
This is my regex script
8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
I changed the script above to the following to slowly build the script back to get rid of these multiple errors that are appearing. When I set my regex script to the following then I just get the one error line.
([0-9]{4})
I thought the regex script was working but when I key an invalid value I get 8 error lines as shown above. That should not be happening. This regex script
8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
is to perform the following logic:
The field I am editing is 4 characters long.
1) The first character must be an 8 and the next 3 charaters must be any character from 0-9
OR
2) The first character must be an 8, the next 0-2 characters must be any character from 0-9, the next non-blank character after any digits must be a wild card character of %
Examples: any number from 8000-8999, 8%, 8n%, 8nn% where n is any number from 0-9

Why would white space and line breaks in sql query increase runtime

Using 11.2.0.3.0 on unix sprac server, 8 cpus 32 cores 12TB storage. We have 16 batch servers doing inserts and ~100 users doing mostly queries.
We have a wierd issue, we have a long query that takes 30 seconds to run 1st time then 10-20 secs every other time. Based on knowledge of DB we expected it to take a lot less. Then a developer reformatted it by taking removing extra white space and line breaks. all of sudden query takes 6 secs first time and 0.8 every other time. we tripled checked to ensure they are identical and that only difference is white space and line breaks. We tried it with SQLDeveloper, TOAD, SQLPLUS, from out desktops, appserver. we could reproduce it every time, with white space 10-20 secs without it 0.8 secs. Query is 200 lines long with white space 30 without it.
Why would having white space make such a dramatic difference? because the query is longer eventhough its identical? We checked parsing times, etc, no difference. Is there some network setting, oracle parameter, sqlnet setting? We spent hours looking on google and found nother
Slow:

grt_buyer.buyerfamily_acronym AS buyerfamily_acronym, grt_reporting_utls_pkg.convert_gmrt_battery(grt_buyerinstance.buyerfamily_id,grt_buyer.battery)   AS battery,

Do you have some sort of horrific network connection between the client and the database such that it would take 8.5 seconds to transmit a few kb of SQL to the server? That seems most unlikely.
How are you determining the query plan? Are you absolutely sure that both SQL statements have the same plan_hash_value when they are actually executed (not just when you generate a query plan without executing it)? What are the differences in wait events when you execute the two?
The sql_id will change when you add or remove whitespace. There are various methods of modifying query plans that are tied to a sql_id. My wager would be that you have a profile/ outline/ etc. that is not there for the reformatted one which is causing a query plan difference. My next guess is that you have an accepted plan for the old statement, you haven't set up a process to let the plan evolve, and the reformatted statement starts with the plan that the old statement would get if you allowed the plan to evolve.

What are stray points and where do they come from?

Just curious.
CS3
XP2.
I recently made a drawing incorporating some elements from Inventor (PDFd and placed). After finishing filling in the details, I drew a marquee around the entire drawing and noticed dimensions of the drawing where 10x what it should have been. I zoomed out and and saw two pairs of points. one pair right, one left, were showing as selected. I tried selecting just the points and could not. After re-selecting only my drawing, they would show up. Its like they were grouped but not.
Anyway, going to select/ object/ stray points and deleting them solved it.
What are they and where did they come from? Obviously Illustrator recognizes they can be there because of the built-in menu allowance.

Stray points can occur in a multitude of ways. They occur much more frequently in Illustrator than other drawing programs because of its basic selection interface.
However, some programs' exports intentionally place stray points at opposite corners of the page bounds in order to convey those bounds to the importing program. (I often see this in imported DXFs.) That sounds like the kind of situation you are describing.

Snap to point and line

Sometimes when I try to drag a point or line to another point or line, it won't "snap" to it, even though I have the snap feature active. Anyone know why this happens. (Illustrator cs3) It seems to occur randomly.

I suppose you know that snapping in Illy is based on the position of the cursor and not on the position of the object (cf. Indesign).
To be certain that things are snapping as you want them to, have smart guides turned on. This is also absolutely necessary if you want to snap point type objects. Under normal circumstances they won't snap accurately.

What are these features and how can I use them?

Why do I have SDM Profile, Dyanmic private IP, Pay per message, Mobile Hotspot provisioning, My mom is on the same account and does not have these. Everything I look at points to enterprise stuff and administration. I'm not aware of any of that. Verizon seems to act like they don't know but it's right on my bill. My VM seems to be funky too. I had to change my phone number because of unknown video texts being sent. Something is still not right.

If these are items listed on your account as features, I think there are supposed to be there.
I know I have that dynamic IP address one for my smartphone. So I suspect it is associated with the smartphone provisioning.
The mobile hotspot provisioning would depend on what kind of plan you have.
The pay per message is probably associated with your text messages so your phone will receive and send them.
The other one I'm not sure about, but it could be something associated with the SIM card.

What would these points and lines be?
