Why did Skype think it a good idea to get rid of Skype for Windows?
I now have a useless application and an ugly window for desktop skype with a hulking advert at the top of it. It's hard to work with and clunky in general. What gave Microsoft/Skype the thought that forcing users to change would be a good idea? It really isn't it's a terrible idea!
i'm concerned this change is to allow MS to market things to me better (I don't have a problem with that) but i'm wondering if they are in bed with the NSA to give the US gov access to any friends I have, what we say to each other, and if i'm pissed about something they (NSA) don't like. I'm looking at ooVoo as an alternative to Skype because of the encryption seems to be better and I can't find anything about ooVoo going to bed with the NSA. so far, ooVoo doesn't have the ability to change caller id, like Skype does to my cell phone. I'm wanting out of skype

When I see the Visualize Plan for SQLScript it show Create Temp Index at many Places.
It also shows unsupported operator order CS_JOIN over CS_AGGREGATION.
Why does hana create Temp Index and how to get rid of it.Just browsing for some more information on this operation, and it just happened that my favorite VizPlan expert has chimed in here
I have a scenario where I am using a nested SQLScript based calc view. One view (child view) retrieves a relatively small data set, then the main CV takes that and joins with a bunch of other data from another schema.
When I started out, just the nested portion of (child calc view), takes roughly 800ms to return it's resultset, for which I was pleased. Now, when I added some other joins onto that dataset in the main CV, I am seeing my runtime spike to approximately 16 seconds, with 15 seconds being spent on a "Create Temp Index" process that only results in 12 rows (from what I can see).
Now the question becomes - since I have identified where 95+% of my runtime is being generated, how can I really pinpoint what operation is causing this? I was thinking the ID column (shown in the details) may offer some clues if one knew how to locate the details in a system table somewhere?
Otherwise, all I can see in the VizPlan is that YES there is a long running component, but I have no idea what it might be, therefore can't do anything about it

When I close Firefox, there are two underlying windows that I have to close every time. How do I get rid of them for good and prevent this from continuing to happen. Both windows were opened by me during viewing at some point, so they did originate from me.

In Pages when I click the 'Sections' button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'. Rdal
Roger,
The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon. Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?
Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

Why are flash buttons not a good idea?
I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having with flash
buttons (mainly that I don't want users to have to click twice to
make them work), and I keep seeing posts (particularly by Murray)
asking if the poster knows that flash buttons aren't a good idea.
However, I was unable to find an explanation as to
why they are a bad idea. Can anyone explain this to me in
layman's terms? I'm very new to Dreamweaver and web development in
general. I'm developing an intranet site for a specific group of
users where accessibility is not a huge concern.
Thanks!Consider these scenarios -
1. I don't have Flash installed. I don't get the benefit of
your Flash
navigation element.
2. I am a search engine spider. I don't get the benefit of
your Flash
navigation element.
Need I say more? 8)

so though im not a huge sports fan (bt should spend its money on better films and arts stuff imo) but i would love to sit down and watch some premier league stuff!
so i sit down today to watch the FREE bt sport for exsisting customers thats been advertised and of course it wasnt that simple. i thought a retune might be in order but i did not realise it would be such a pain to get bt sport.
first its advertised as free, false, id need to get infinity to get bt sport which would cost me quite alot of money. second, id need to get a viewing card of £10 to watch it on my old btvision box? i just got the youview box not long ago(well it seemes not long ago), which is great, but now it stops me from watching bt sport! FAIL im not gonna get rid of youview.
so the free bt sport which ive seen advertised is not free for me, and is unwatchable on my current bt equiptment, plus i found theyd sneeked a 3 pound a month unlimited ring back on my phone bill, somethin i never asked for since we never have out telephone pluggeed in!!!
a afew months back i got a letter saying i could get a free infinity upgrade, which apparently expired, doh.
bt is one car crash after another.
to add, i can watch bt sport on the app or online! what is the point! something i suppose but i d rather watch it on the tele like most people.
someone might enlighten me if there really is a way to get bt sport for free on my you view box? ive been pretty naive about this bt sport thing.yes i know that i need infinity on youview to watch btsport, but i do not need infinity, and cannot afford infinity, therefore it is not free to watch bt sport for existing subscribers!! (except to watch on my computer online, which is silly as my vision tv service is already online!)
let me make it clear to you again, i cannot afford infinity,therefore i cannot watch btsport!!
now i dont know if you work for bt or something, but ive found over the last few years that bt have consistently hidden charges in my bill, or given me blurb that tricks me into thinking things, and its taken a lot of digging to work out what there packages actually mean, bt sport is no different!
even today ive found a hidden £3 monthly chardge for infinte call back on my telephone bill, that came from nowhere!
i always feel bts selling strategy is just to trick people into adding things onto bills or misselling you things thinking youre getting something else, its liek there saying, oh werre wernt lying, we just didnt tell you the whole truth!
btw colin, that isnt the way its is, getting ripped off by a huge company like bt , hiding charges in bills most people never find out about is morally disgusting, advertising semi truths then misselling them to people is abhorant, posting here might just make othe rpeople aware, so eff you for telling me thats the way it is, posting here is the best way to change things, sucks bts ass if you want, but they would rather **bleep** all over you than pay for the service. -

Why did I receive a Viber access code when I never signed up for Viber?
why did I receive a Viber access code on my brand new iPhone 4S when I never signed up for Viber? In fact, when I received the sms, I used the search function on my iPhone to see where it could be hidden, and the only results where the two consecutive texts I received giving me identical access codes.
Oops, I just went into the message and there is no "i" where to block the number that sent me the access code. What do I do now? (sorry, but I am a true techno-idiot). Never mind, just found it and blocked it. Thanks for all your help, Belly114. Have a great long weekend, wherever you are.

How can I get rid of Skype ads on a Mac?
I'm running OSX 10.6.8 and have Skype version 6.15. When I open Skype Home a very large square ad pops up with annoying "meet singles in your area" and so on. I've searched for tips and tricks on google to get rid of this advertising but it seems every fix is for windows. There are some recommendations to install an older version of Skype but someone else found out that Skype won't allow you to use older versions and forces you to update as soon as you launch it. I'm sure there is a crafty way to get rid of the advertising. Nothing in the Skype preferences is helpful (I tried preferences-privacy- and unchecked "allow Microsoft to use your Skype profile information to show you more relevant ads in this application") This was unsuccessful even after logging out-quitting- and restarting. I also went to "notifications" in the Skype preferences and tried to uncheck "display visual notifications" and that was also unsuccessful. Does anyone have a possible fix for this annoying advertising?
Enter 'How to disable Skype ads and banners' into Google for a resume of options that account for most systems. However, be careful where you download info from. CNet, for example have ways to help, but I read that CNet are unreliable and have been known to inject Adware or other matter into their downloads.

For years I have been using clear recent history to quickly clear cookies and cache only. I had already unchecked the things I did NOT want cleared in options. But the new update automatically re-checked everything to be cleared! I did not realize this until too late, now ALL of my autocompletes are GONE! Updates should improve the function of the browser NOT change personal settings! Plus they changed options so the place to uncheck what is to be cleared is hidden and painstakingly time-consuming to find. Please do not pull this kind of "improvement" in the future, leave personal setting alone!!!!! you just ruined my night.
kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

Why did Mountain Lion slow down my shut down and boot up time for my MacBook Pro?
I had Snow Leopard, and not Lion. My shut down time rose from about 5 seconds to 10-15 seconds. My start up time also increased noticeabley. Any reason why because I thought Mountain Lion was supposed to be faster.
I have very few apps other than what came on my MBP. I've checked most other, really dont think this is the problem. My MBP is not junked/cluttered up. Not many programs, just pictures, videos, and some docs. Everything seems to work smoothly once on, but the start up and shut down times are still double what they were when I bought with snow leopard (Not Windows like, but scary close). I cannot find any solution that will work. My opinion, should not have to do a clean install for it to work. Some folks have not experienced these issues, so I think its some setting or something else that is my problem. I have 4GB RAM, and considering increasing to 8, but from what I have read else where thsi will not increase boot or shutdown, way even increase. Right now, not sure if the new ML features out way the slow boot and shut down.

Why did apple get rid of the activity window in OSX 10.8? That was such a useful feature.
This is BS if activity window is gone for good, so am I. I'm switching to crome.
It's not Activity Window, but if you go to Safari>Extensions and scroll down, you'll find Click to Flash. If you install this, it'll change the native .flv file to an .m4v or .mp4 (something like that). You can then just right click on the video in question and click on the dl button
