Why do you need to auto-update almost everyday?

I turn on the pc, click on your browser and you immediately stop me by starting your update.The last three times were within the last two days, stopping me from getting at my gmail when I needed it.I'm using Explorer till I'm done being pissed off or when you have an answer and get back to me.

You are correct, there were multiple Firefox updates this week, and we're sorry.
The first update was to fix some security holes and crashes in the previous version of Firefox. The second was to fix a problem with some websites that was caused by the first update. We're very sorry that we failed to catch this problem before releasing the first update, since we know it's a hassle to have to upgrade again so soon.
Firefox 3.6 is updated whenever we find important security bugs. This has happened four times in 2010 (once in March, once in April, and twice in June): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox_3.6
All browsers are updated to fix bugs - for example, Internet Explorer updates arrive through Microsoft's Windows Update program. We are working on ways to update Firefox without interrupting your regular browsing. For more information, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489138

  • Why do you need PVDMs?

    Hi all,
    Dumb question!
    Why do you need PVDMs in a NM-HDV2-1T1/E1? The voice from the IP phones is in digital form, and so surely is the voice coming in over the T1/E1 - why do you need these DSPs?
    thanks,
    alec

    You could almost call them transcoders in this case.
    The default g711 codec for a given country (g711ulaw for North America, g711alaw for most everywhere else including I think the UK) is identical or nearly identical to that used on PRIs or clear-channel channelized circuits. If the g711 variant you're using for your VoIP traffic isn't the same as the g711 variant for PSTN circuit you're using, the DSPs handle that transcoding. If you're using robbed-bit channelized circuits, the DSPs have to drop a little bit of information. If you're using g729 or another low-speed codec, the DSPs have to "expand" the audio up to the PSTN channel size. And of course, the reverse of all this stuff takes place when audio comes in from the PSTN and has to be packetized and sent out on your IP network.
    The DSPs are also in charge of getting the right data to the PSTN channel at the right time. T1/E1 lines have strict timing requirements and the DSPs handle transmitting bits at just the right times. Part of that is handling the de-jitter buffers that turn possibly jittery RTP traffic into a nice isochronous bitstream for the PSTN circuit, and doing predictive insertion if we don't get voice data in time to put it on the circuit.
    One more duty the DSPs handle is echo cancellation from the PSTN. They "memorize" outgoing voice traffic, and then they listen for it coming back from the PSTN. If it's present, they mathematically "subtract" it from the incoming voice stream, which eliminates it.
    This is not a complete list of what the DSPs do for you, but I think I hit the highlights.

  • Why do you need an f after a float initializtion?

    When you make a declaration and initialization of a float, you have to put an f after the number, correct?
    Like
    float productPrice1 = 285.00f;
    why do you need to do this and do you need to do it in an assignment operation to?
    productPrice1 = 285.00f;
    What about for doubles? Would I need to use a d in place of the f?
    thanks

    What about for doubles? Would I need to use a d inplace of the f?
    No, you need to do that to tell the compiler it is a
    float, not a double. When assign to a double, you
    don't need to tell the compiler it is a double. :)although nothing bad will happen if you do use a 'd' or 'D'.
    Good luck in learning Java.

  • Why do you need to shift click to select stroke color with eyedropper tool?

    Hi,
    Quick question..
    Why do you need to shift click to select the stroke color with the eyedropper tool?
    I had the problem where I could not do this earlier and found the solution on this forum.
    However I still do not understand the reason for this.
    Appreciate if anyone could explain it to me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nori

    Hi, Nori,
    If you have the red and blue rectangle selected and the Fill square selected in the tool panel, as at bottom left, then hold the shift key down and click with the eyedropper on the green stroke in the upper rectangle, then the red fill will turn green but the stroke stays blue. If you select Stroke, as at bottom right, then shift-click with the eyedropper on the green stroke, the blue stroke will turn green but the fill stays red. With Fill selected and shift-click on the yellow fill, the red fill turns yellow; with Stroke selected the blue stroke turns yellow. If you do not depress the shift key, the red and blue rectangle will become yellow and green.
    It's complicated to explain, but I think that if you try it step by step it will make sense to you.

  • Why do you need to go about linking to services-config.xml in your flex compiler

    Why do you need to go about linking to services-config.xml in
    your flex compiler when you want to do remoting. It just seems like
    a complicated way to do things.

    Yeah I find this perplexing as well. I'm guessing it has something to do with Opalis origins perhaps.
    Would be good to understand why.

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
    The web site below tells you how:

  • Why would you need an H.264 hardware encoding device?

    I am a casual user of Adobe Premiere Pro and just upgraded to CS5.5.   I have been reading threads and someone said that he has problems with the Matrox encoder.  I can import my video and make and DVD so why would you need another hardware solution? 

    I don't know how it works on Windows but on the Mac it shows up as a QuickTime component. So any application that can export a QuickTime movie (QuickTime Player, Adobe Media Encoder, Compressor, etc) can export to this component and it will utilize the Matrox hardware.
    Theoretically you could set your preview file format in Premiere to the Matrox component but I don't know how well it would work.

  • HT1918 Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?

    Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?  If I cannot purchase goods with the prepuchased gift cards, then the card is useless and I want my money back.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Just because you are being asked to enter your credit card details doesn't mean that it will be charged for your purchases.
    Is it a newly created account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

    How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
    Intel Piii   Windows XP Pro  

    Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

  • Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Hi Matt,
    I purchased my imac in November of 2010 and below is a cut and past from Hardware overview. It has 1 TB hardrive, with 670 GB free. When i start up in the morning, it boots normal then freezes. Half the time i can get it to restart before it freezes, other half i have to power down then restart. At the same time throughout this process the little pixel squares show up sometimes in a single line or two aross the screen, then sometimes more random. After about 7 times of rebooting, everything runs fine for the day with no weird pixels. then i shut down at night, and start the porcess over in the morning. Thanks for your help!

  • Why can't Flash Player auto-update?

    Even in 1998, applications had the capability to auto-update. Why do I have to download a new install file for almost every Flash Player update? It even has the option to allow auto-updates yet here I am downloading another install file for the 37th time! If flash wasn't so embedded in all of the internet, I would abandon it and uninstall it altogether. I hope that someone comes along with a better solution so I don't have to use FP anymore. Get with the times, Adobe!

    Flash Player HAS auto update available
    The updates are not simply "patches" anymore. That sort of thing went the way of FAT16, several years ago.
    You shouldn't have to update every day. If you are, something is wrong.
