Why do Fonts need to be patched to look good?

Don't get me wrong, this should really not be a rant or so. I'm just curious: Obviously, there are some font configurations which look good and some which don't look so nice. For example, many users don't like default configurations (aliasing problems...) but do like alternative ones like infinality.
So why aren't the good-looking configurations set by default in many distributions? What is the advantage in the default configurations used instead?

Yup, that's why it's of little interest
I didn't really like it...
look better on that than Infinality
You guys are forgetting, or never bothered to check in the first place, that Infinality is not just what bohoomil pre-packaged for you. It's got a ton of tweakability, so EXPERIMENT with it to see what you like, e.g.:
export INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS="14 20 32 20 14"
export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="30"
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="20"

Why mvt types needed

Please tell me what is the use of mvt types in sd.
I have seen so many mvt types like Normal Delivery - 601
Consignment Fillup - 631 etc.
why we need them? without them what will happen.
please tell me with an example why it so needed.

Hello,
When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to differentiate between the various goods movements. A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a goods movement. The movement type is important because it controls the screen layout, adjustment of inventories, the GL account for financial purposes etc.
Eg: 601 Goods issue for delivery In Shipping, this movement type is created automatically with the Goods issue for delivery function. The quantity is taken from unrestricted-use stock.
631 Transfer posting unrestricted use - customer consignment stock (Shipping) The quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use stock to consignment stock at customer.

Need help with Patch Tool in CS5

I am having a problem using the patch tool in Photoshop CS5. I click on the Patch Tool and select the Source option from the upper tool bar. Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally. I just don’t understand why I can’t use the patch tool and any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for these suggestions. Robert

Why do we need to Restart XI Production server frequently ?

Hi Friends,
 We have faced issue like Timeout , deadloack in JDBC Adapter and many issues . If we restart the XIPRD once the problem get solved .
 1. Can you please suggest why do we need to restart teh XI Server ?
 2. In what way it will be helpful for us ?
 3. Will it clear any locks ? or any dump files ?
 4. Is it recommended to star t and stop the sever ?
 Can you please give valuable replies as why should we restart the xi sevrer in particular period like once in a month like that
Regards.,
Shyam.S

1. Can you please suggest why do we need to restart teh XI Server ?
It is not done on the frequent basis until you fae some problems like file adapter not appearing in the adapter configuration.....none of the adaters are present in ID (EX)
it will only start the servicess or other things which were hanging or not responding state.....
2. In what way it will be helpful for us ?
ot moght e helpfull some times but not always...it depends on the probelm you are facing...lot of problems can be solved without restarting the server
3. Will it clear any locks ? or any dump files ?
 Not sure
4. Is it recommended to star t and stop the sever ?
Not recomded to do it frequenlty without any valid reason (until you apply some patches etc)

HT6147 Why haven't they done a patch for those of us who have not updated and prefer to use iOS 6?

Why haven't they done a patch for those of us who have not updated and prefer to use iOS 6?

Totally agree with Andy. Apple needs to support its users whether or not they decide to update to iOS 7.
The reviews from i Pad 3 owners (like me) is that when they've updated to iOS 7 they've experienced latency and sluggishness. Why would I ruin a perfectly good iPad by updating to iOS 7?
Please let me know where I can find a patch for iOS 6.
Thanks!

Why do I need a new version of numbers to open an old spreadsheet

Why do I need a new version of Numbers to open an existing spreadsheet?

There may have been an update to the existing Numbers, if so one would think
the prompt to update the same version to a later step would have appeared, or
if available would perhaps appear as a free update to the version, if a patch, etc.
The Software Update application may show it, or generally go to Mac App Store.
Would 'repair disk permissions' help, especially if the Numbers application is not in
need of update to open an older project or document? Hard to determine a cause.
In any event, it sounds a bit odd to me.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why exactly u need to deactivate and activate in lo extraction?

why exactly u need to deactivate and activate in lo extraction?


Hi 
You won't really be deactivating any extract structure or datasource because it will stop data transfer. However if you change the structure and do not activate it then it will be in modified version (or deactivate state) for system.
 
Hope it helps.

Archiving cds and why do i need id3 tags

here comes another one of those questions looking at which codec to use to store music.....i also have tag questions.....
i'm about to (re-)rip my cd collection and looking at some info re codecs and id3 tags
now.....i believe i understand the benefits of alac (lower file sizes, keeping id3 tags, lossless compression) v wav(no compression)
however (and for some out there) if we just entertain the fact that wav may have some minute benefit for me depending on my questions and answers given.....and yes i know wav and alac will sound the same to the human ear - i accept that as a given of lossless compression ......
points i'd like to outline:
i am looking to rip my cds, firstly and mostly, for an archiving purpose!! purpose numero uno!!
i could well want to re-create cds with these archived records in the future
size of files is of no concern to me at all
i'm using a mac nowadays
i will convert most of these files, where needed, to use with a portable music player (i'm not bothered with having, say a wav file and then also converting and having an alac file, as crazy as that sounds)
this is where i ask for info re the benefits of embedded tags that are found in alac:
are these tags that important?
where do they come into play in ripping and later converting music?
are these uses just bells and whistles that have no benefit to my needs?
if i rip cds to wav (or aiff), say, using itunes, will cd info and track listings be available on the downloading database (eg itunes) to name these wav files?
if i then ensure these song files are kept under the album's folder, have i just done what tags do? surely not. that is all i have needed in the past.
this is where i feel i may be really missing what id tags (can) do
are tags more than just managing song files and where they belong and where they have come from?
is it just a convenience of not personally managing your song files (as per previous paragraph)?
(in the past i had ripped cds to mp3 codec. i think i used "cd rip" or something like that on my pc.
my mp3 files were individually named and sorted and kept under album folders under artist name folders.
apart form the very odd occasion all track and album info i needed was found on a database that was attached to the ripping software.
i never had a problem managing/maintaining these files and folders.)
i welcome some enlightenment on some of my questions above and other info that may be relevant
and yes, i understand that music will sound the same as a wav file or alac file - but humour me re using wav and tell me why i need id3 tags
i guess the crux of it is:
why do i need id3 tags?
does my managing of my song file in the album folder do what tags do?
what problems/shortcomings/headaches may i encounter by not having those tags if i use wav as opposed to alac?
what do i not know about these little buggers?
what codec is best for my purpose of archiving and re creating of cds (for playing in cd players)
thanks in advance for your input and any clarity that i may experience through this

excuse my long windedness (i have spent some time editing this entry)

Crows2012 wrote:
as mentioned earlier if i just have songs (wav) in album folders, when i import these albums into itunes, do you know if these will come up under AN album with their file names purely using my filename setup (but with no artwork)?
Yes, iTunes will read the filename, such as "Track 1" or something else and display it. But nothing else. No Album or Artist.
so the tracks will remain grouped as an album based on their initial folder and the albums and tracks as per file name?
Crows2012 wrote:
also, does aiff have limitations (apart from the full size of the file)?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. For all practical purposes AIFF and WAV are exactly the same thing. They're just file containers.
i thought that i had read somewhere that aiff tags could run into some issues with its tags - ie may not always be transferred 100% accurately with certain players (or hardware maybe)
Crows2012 wrote:
and how do these codecs work re-creating an album for the purposes of playing in a cd player? - this is a crucial question for the purpose of my archiving/backup of CDs THEMSELVES
That's actually going to depend on what burning software you use. Once you rip the tracks to whatever file container you choose (WAV/AIFF/ALAC) you'll never really exactly re-create the album. But for archiving purposes all three file containers will do what you want, which is to create a lossless archive. AIFF has the advantage of supporting embedded ID3, which ALAC has the additional advantage of the files also being about half the size of AIFF/WAV files.
i was thinking that maybe wav was able to recreate an album (in effect duplicate one) if my cd was lost or damaged in the future. i was thinking this IF when ripping to wav everything is unchanged (unless there is other data on the original cd). and maybe only possible with wav. the purpose for this would be to play recreated cds on my cd player
any idea on this one?
(i havent looked too thoroughly on this angle but i'll keep googling on this one)
much appreciate all info thus far

Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

Why do I need to start up Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?

I have an Intel Mac Mini connected to my TV, so I started using Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro to be able to work on it when others were watching TV.
Both Macs used to have OSX 10.5 Leopard, and everything worked fine.
Now they both have OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, and whenever I startup Screen Sharing, the connection-windows asking for my Name & Password comes up properly, but then it hangs... it stays in "Connecting..." for ever (litteraly).
I'm not able to quit or force-quit the connection-window by then, so it stays in view...
(Screen Sharing isn't even listed in the force-quit list as a running app)
but...
when I just try Screen Sharing again, I get connection immediately and it seems to work flawlessly...
...it's just that the connection-window is impossible to quit...
it stays in view an is really annoying...
this looks really crappy...
can anyone tell me why I do need to startup Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?
Is this a bug ?
(If so : please apple fix this a.s.a.p.)
...or am I doing something wrong ?
(if so : what am I doing wrong ? and how can I get rid of this annoying screen ?)
Thank you for your kind reply.
Toon.B

it's October and this really annoying problem still exists !
the unnamed screensharing-loginwindow keeps "Connecting...", and I'm unable to shut it down...
...even after my screen sharing session is over
...even force-quitting is impossible (this 'app' just isn't showing up in the force-quit-window...)
please Apple - fix this ; under 10.5 it was working great !
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this ?
(besides restarting my Mac)
Thanks !

}My question is, why does the exceptions in the example code not need to be caught? And why do I have to catch the exceptions in my code? Several exceptions are thrown in the example code, but there is no catch statement.
Thanks for any advice!!

Since your question didn't come with any relevant details, and since you have huge steaming piles of irrelevant code, all I can give is a general answer to "Why do I need to catch this exception?"
[url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html]Exception tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html
Here's a quick overview of exceptions:
The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.

Why do I need to use MOLGA?

I know that this is a very basic question, but I have been asked why do we need to have a new MOLGA for every country; what I know of is:
1.     Is the standard method of supporting multi-country (Global) HCM. MOLGA is central to the SAP HCM solution.
2.     The correct screens are shown in PA30 to maintain the personnel data in the correct formats for social security or equivalent number, form of address, addresses, bank details and so on.
3.     The correct infotypes can be made available by MOLGA, where there are particular pieces of information required on a country by country basis u2013 therefore reducing the risk of non compliance
4.     Correct ESS screens are available
5.     Payroll available by country. For example the payroll program is run per country using the MOLGA PC00_Mxx_calc, where xx is the country code, therefore for GB it is PC00_M08_calc.
But apparently this is not a compelling enough reason - can anyone help with more good reasons?

Hi Marina
hope you are doing good.
Globalized firms need Integrated systems with Independent County Legal, Labor, Taxation ,Currency , Language requirements.
So a Global ERP System will help to achieve this without compromising the local requirements.
I shared my experience , hope it sound sane.

What am I doing wrong with the isNew() method? and why do I need the other methods?

I have coded an include jsp like this.
 <%@page language="Java"%>
 <%@page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpSession"%>
 <%!
 String iContextPath;
 String iCommonPath;
 String iImagesPath;
 %>
 <%
 iContextPath = request.getContextPath();
 iCommonPath = iContextPath + "/common";
 iImagesPath = iCommonPath + "/images";
 System.err.println(" here ");
 HttpSession thisSession = request.getSession( false );
 if( thisSession.isNew() ){
 System.err.println("isnew");
 response.sendRedirect( iContextPath + "/common/login.jsp" );
 %>
 Now I also have a redirect.jsp in the root of an application that contains
 this.
 <html>
 <body>
 <%
 System.err.println("Redirecting at this time from the root");
 response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() + "/secureArea/");
 %>
 </body>
 </html>
 And I have a logout.java servlet that looks like this.
 package com.pch.epics;
 import java.io.IOException;
 import javax.servlet.ServletException;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 import weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication;
 public class Logout extends HttpServlet{
 private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html";
 //Initialize global variables
 public void init() throws ServletException{
 //Process the HTTP Get request
 public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
 response ) throws ServletException, IOException{
 String username = "";
 if( request.getUserPrincipal() == null ){
 username = "Unknown";
 } else {
 username = request.getUserPrincipal().getName();
 System.err.println( "ePics logging out '" + username + "'" );
 request.getSession( false ).invalidate();
 ServletAuthentication.logout( request );
 ServletAuthentication.invalidateAll( request );
 ServletAuthentication.killCookie( request );
 response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() );
 //Process the HTTP Post request
 public void doPost( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
 response ) throws ServletException, IOException{
 doGet( request, response );
 //Clean up resources
 public void destroy(){
 First of all, why won't the isNew() report a new session in the server log?
 EVERY request coming in says it's an old request (ie it's not new). The
 J2EE Applications and BEA WebLogic Server book from BEA says this should
 work.
 My second question is why do I need to do those three lines from
 ServletAuthentication to logout a user? Ok, maybe I'm from the MS world,
 but that seems excessive, especially since I've already done a
 session.invalidate() right before it, but the bea docs say I'm required to
 do all four!


When you invalidate a session. You invalidate the session of the web
 application that your jsp/servlet is part of. It is possible to have more
 than one web application on WLS and have them share a authentication info.
 While these applications share authentication they do not share their
 sessions so because of that calling session invalidate does not kill all the
 sessions. ServletAuthentication is needed to kill all the sessions and do a
 complete logout from WLS.

Why do Fonts need to be patched to look good?
