Which displays to get?

Okay, I am stuck between 2 20" and 2 23" displays...
They will be hooked up to a Mac Pro w/ the ATI Radeon card...unless anyone has better suggestions for me as far as the video card goes..
Which would you guys recommend? I currently have a 20" iMac and I just would like a second monitor to work with...
Also, does the Mac Pro support 3 displays?

Hi-
You can save money on the initial purchase of the Mac Pro by adding things like optical drives and hard drives yourself. For example, a top of the line Pioneer DVR-112 would only cost about $45, and is fairly easy to install.
As well, a 500gb SATA drive by Maxtor (enterprise class) with great performance and a 5 year warranty will only cost about $130.
RAM can also be purchased and installed by the user, and RAM prices are really low now. A pair, totalling 2 gb will run about $230.

Check the OWC links for their excellent warranties.
The following has a link to "How to's" for installation of the above:

I would stick with the graphics card you have chosen (excellent choice). If you want to add a second card, the Nvidia GeForce 7300GT 256MB is about $150, and can be installed by a user.

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

Timeout occuring running a report which displays information about users

Hi,
I developed a report using JSPDynPages which displays the following information about all the users in a particular Group.
1)Uid
2)FirstName
3)LastName
4)EMail
5)Account status (active/locked)
6)R3 UserName
In the group for which i am running the report consists of about 4,500 users and the report is getting timedout.
My logic in the code is to iterate through all the users in the group and collecting their information and populating a array which will then be given to the DefaultTableViewModel to display the info in a tabular form.
Obviously this process is taking more than the predefined timeout time (i guess it is 1 min) and hence the timout is occuring.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem (other than increasin the timeout param).
Thanks in Advance,
Sudhir

Could you tell me how to display the first name and last name in a Bex Analyzer. I want the user to see their name when they log into the report screen.
Please help.

Which display driver package do I need for Nvidia Quadro NVS 110m?

Hi there,
I'm new to (Arch) Linux and was wondering which display driver package I need. I have a Dell Latitude D620 with a "nvidia quadro nvs 110m".
In the Arch Linux beginners guide it says:
1. nvidia-96xx slightly newer cards up to the GF 4.
2. nvidia-173xx Geforce FX series cards
3. nvidia newest GPUs after the GF FX
Consult the NVIDIA-Homepage to see which one is for you.
But on the NVIDIA-Homepage it says:
The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer.
And they just forward me to Dell Support which obviously neither offers a linux driver nor linux driver information for the D620.
So which of the three packages do I have to install?
Are these packages open-source drivers? Do I need proprietary nvidia drivers to get full 3D-performance?
Does anybody have experience with the D620?
Although I'm new to Linux and I like the KISS idea behind Arch Linux, I still want to have all that Compiz Fusion eye candy. I also want to play a few games which need 3D performance (once I'm familiar with wine). ;-)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Blackhole

Thanks a lot.
Final question: How does Arch Linux deal with license issues? If the nvidia package includes the original nvidia drivers linked above, doesn't that cause any legal/moral problems? Like in Ubuntu for example they always point out that it's proprietary software you're gonna install when enabling the nvidia drivers.
Just wondering...

Hey there, is there an app for I tunes available which displays the song lyrics. If not it would be a good idea

If the lyrics aren't in the ID3 tags (track info) they won't display.

MBP 17" 2G RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7) Can't back to PC platform anymore

The ATI X1900XT beats the QuadroFX in some (few) game benchmarks, actually.
Be careful when you reference PC benchmarks and translate them to a Mac environment. Especially with ATI graphics cards. ATI have a nasty little habit of under-clocking their Mac chipsets to maintain profitability with Mac specific cards. So what goes on a PC is not necessarily the case on a Mac. Also, performance is variable when it comes to the driver. again you should expect variance here.
Remember, the X1900 costs $500 on the street - it's no budget card.
Compared the the Quadro it's a bargain although that's beside the point… no-one here is considering the X1900 a cheap card rather the Quadro is an expensive one.
and the Mac Pro is aimed at the high-end gamer as it will deliver far greater game performance (for Universal app games) than any other Mac.
True… you'll get the best gaming performance with a Mac Pro than any other Mac before it. Having said that, this does not mean it's aimed at gamers. If it were you would have seen a version with an Extreme Edition Conroe rather than a dual processor Woodcrest.

T440s vs. T540P Which display is better??

Hello again folks,
Can you tell me, in your opinion, which display is better in terms of sharpness, viewing angles, contrast, saturation etc. between the top option display in the T440s vs. the best display available in the T540P?
I want to get the ThinkPad that has the absolute best display for photo editing.
Thanks so much for your help.
best to you all,
rick

I've seen both screens. Please be aware that the T440s has two FHD screens, the LG and AUO. I will assume you get the AUO. (better than LG)
Being a AHVA, the AUO has better viewing angles than the 3k IPS of the T540p. A slight shift in contrast is typical for IPS screens. However, you will still be able to see the image from almost all angles on both displays.
As for contrast, the T440s fares better as well at 800:1 vs. 500:1.
Color-wise they both cover sRGB (90-100%) but then again, the T440s has a slightly higher coverage of AdobeRGB, though I can't recall any numbers right now.
Brightness is about the same, 300 nits on both. In terms of sharpness, the T540p wins hands down. The T440s can't keep up with the high 2880x1620 resolution.
Both are good for photo editing. The T440s would be slightly better IMHO, but you will need a colorimeter on both anyway, because the calibration is a bit off. I think in the end, it doesn't really matter which one you take, like I said, both are very good and suitable for photo editing.

After aborted rebuild in Mail: I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up

I have searched quite a bit to find a resolution to this problem, with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
I decided to rebuild my inboxes by following this advice: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11704. The rebuild took several hours and at 96% (4 minutes remaining apparently), the indexing froze (that is, after 8 hours, the message was still telling me "4 minutes left"). I forced quit mail, restored the previous Envelope files from the trash, and everything seemed fine.
However, since this failed attempt, I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up. All messages in my various inboxes have the reloading problem, EXCEPT messages that I downloaded since the aborted rebuild (in other words, there are about 40 messages that I downloaded since I tried the rebuild and I have no problem with these). The other 70,000 messages however wont load, even though I can see them in the centre pane and spotlight has no problem finding them and showing me their contents (when I hover the mouse over the message). When I click on the message in spotlight, mail opens and the loading problem re-occurs.
Since then, based on various suggestions I found for similar issues, I have used Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions and the drive. I used Onix to rebuild the Mail index (that only took about a minute - I am not sure how to interpret this when compared to the hours the rebuild took with Mail). No joy, I still have the same problem. I even restored one of my inboxes via Time Machine and the same issue with loading continues.
I am using ML 10.8.2. I have a combination of IMAP accounts (work) and POP accounts (personal). The issue of loading occurs irrespective of the account.
I am baffled and am now considering migrating to either Thunderbird or Postbox 3 to try and solve my problem. I prefer to stay with Mail. I should note also that I am using MailTags with Mail (http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html), although I have not used any of the features. I upgraded to ML from SL about 2 weeks ago. It was very smooth and there appear to be no issues (not sure how helpful this is and probably not at all related to this issue).
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Maybe these will help:

VBFA has VBELV and POSNV can be used to map VBAP (sales order item) i.e.
VBFA-VBELV = VBAP-VBELN AND
VBFA-POSNV = VBAP-POSNV
with VBTYP_N = J Values available in VBFA-VBELN and VBFA-POSNN will be LIPS -VBELN and LIPS-POSNR
VBTYP_N/ VBTYP_V = J stands for delivery and C stands for order

Is there a way to select which display to use??

Hi,
I think my problem is OS dependent but i'm still gonna ask...
Code related to this problem is:
Process runner;
Runtime t = Runtime.getRuntime();
runner = t.exec("<path-to-office>\powerpnt.exe /s '<path-to-show>\show.ppt'");
// The program in line above is not nessecary powerpoint it can be also Acrobat or web browser!!
// (basicly anythig which can be run on full-screen mode from command line)
The Problemo:
I have a computer (running on Win XP) which has two (or more) displays attached (Matrox G550),
do i have a chance to detect amount of displays and if there is more than one display, can i somehow
select in Runtime which display to use to show results of code above?
Matrox solution was "when you run program once in certain display , it should be opened in same
display next time", well... what if i shoud use 2 powerpoints in same time to have x kind of ppt in one
screen and y kind in second screen wich has totally different kind of info what screen x does?
If it's possible with JFrame to decide wich screen to use, i'm almost shure that i can change program to
use pictures instead of external programs.

Hmm, I don't know how you would do this with out going native, but for Java frames you can use the following links.

My apps no longer remember which display to open on.

My apps no longer remember which display to open on. With Mountain Lion, once a window was set up on a particular display and the app was quitted, when reopening, it would be on the same display. Now they all seem to default to the primary display.

Steve Weintraub wrote:
I'm having the exact same problem. Another bug I've noticed, mostly with Apple Mail, is that when you close the window (not quit), and open it again, it will shift positions down the screen repeatedly until it hits the bottom right of the screen. Almost like when you open a lot of documents in an app and they stagger.
Hmmm; that's interesting...I haven't noticed that on my system, but I'll keep an eye out for that as well.
