Why should I stay?

I started my service March of 2013 and bought the Droid Max with a 2 yr contract. Over the last year I have dealt with 2 phones which freeze up, lag, and have horrible battery life. One of the phones has been replaced but the issues continue. Now T-Mobile is offering to pay off my early termination fees, allow me to get two brand new phones of my choice, give me 2.5g of data per a line (currently share 2g), the ability to upgrade every 6 months, and all for $40 less a month, oh and no contract. While vzws service is slightly better I have had T-Mobile and it works fine for me. Since verizon refuses to allow me to upgrade to the phone of my choice (even willing to sign a new contract), why would I stay?

I understand your frustration. I'm presently in a Droid Razr Maxx. It's been a good phone but it is certainly lagging behind in technology now and works very slow. The contract is up, but the only reason I'm holding onto it is because I can keep my old Google Maps version 6.14.4 on it.
While the allure of being drawn away by T-Mobile may be strong, in light of the problems you are having with your existing phone, how much have you considered the other implications of switching. Is there any fine print you are overlooking? The reason I ask is a good friend of mine has been locked into a T-Mobile contract he hasn't been able to escape for years. Month to month contracts would be very nice, but what kind of coverage will you receive? That Verizon map on the commercials is pretty accurate. I've had both Sprint and AT&T in the last 10 years and their coverage came no where close to the coverage I have wherever I travel in the country. While I've not had T-Mobile, my friends who have are sorely disappointed with their lack of cell coverage. They couldn't even get coverage when they were in my home, in a suburb of a major metropolitan community. Having been with Verizon for 5 years now, I couldn't be more pleased with the service coverage across the country.
If the savings truly is a monthly savings and you don't need extensive coverage, maybe the switch makes sense. If on the other hand you need dependability in coverage in more than one geography, maybe waiting patiently, negotiating with Verizon for another replacement or a completely new device is the best option.
Finally, maybe your phone is acting up due to some bugs in an app. While Android phones are great because many app developers can be quite creative, the oversight of those apps isn't as stringent as Apple. Consequently, there are a lot more problems with viruses and malware on Android devices. Security experts and many corporations are moving away from Android devices for this very reason. Infected applications can dramatically impact performance and battery life of the device. How much free space do you have on your device? If you are at 90% capacity, then you may benefit from deleting some unnecessary applications. Do you have a lot of games or novelty apps on the device? Those are really susceptible to malware. Have you installed something like AVG virus scanning software on your device? This can help you identify and clean things up.
Maybe you've already contemplated these options. If not, I hope this is helpful to you.

Open Question to Adobe - Why Should I Stay?

Okay, there are now thousands of posts complaining about Adobe Creative Cloud. There are over 31,000 signatures gathered in protest. So far, Adobe is eerily silent. So I am asking Adobe, why should I stay with you? Why? Why should I use Creative Cloud at $600 a year when I have been updating my Creative Suite about every other year for $700 (that's $350 per year)? Why should I stay with you when you do not seem to be responding to your customer's complaints? Why should i stay with you when you act as if everyone is so very happy with Creative Cloud and you seem to be ignoring the uproar as if it is not even happening? Why should I stay with you when you act more and more like a monopoly that is strangling its customers? I am a professional that has used your products for almost fifteen years. Why on earth should I stay with you?
Others are invited to post but I am curious if Adobe will ever respond to this.

Do you know a little bit of marketing rules?
Do you know, how difficult it is to bring some one to action - espec. protest?
Do you know about the % returning of feedback surveys (compareable... = 2-5 %)?
(Believe me and follow regarding blogs: That are many more than 33.000 protests - no question)
These subscribers in the last Q are because they spared all their new features to their "great CC day" on June 17th and because the discounts for CS6 users will end soon.
These numbers (and in my eyes they are anything else than good) are a result of their forcing evil plan.
They will drop down in August, when their are no longer discounts for CS6 users. We will see.
Also let´s wait on the numbers, when they have to rise prices, and there is no longer income from CS6.
700.000 of 12 Mio & the same amount of pirates (estimated) during a year a great success???
Throwing half of the usership into garbage a good plan? = Reinventing economy?
If you think, there will be no users who will replace Adobe with competitors - I´m one of them.
Always was working parallel with QuarkXPress (and I like a lot - faster than InDesign - espec. in case of big documents (lots of text)). Also OWN the lifelong Right to use my Apple Video solutions (and thinking about investing to Avid now). My FreeHand still is running (also faster than Illustrator - even it is so old) ang still good for 95% of Vector Graphic. In case of Web-Design I have no great problem - Flash is slowly dying and competition is given. The only App not 100% replaceable is PS. But if it´s necessary, my MasterCollections will work the next 10 years on their actual MAC PROs (or virtualization). There is nothing I´m missing of their overwhelming solution.
If I would estimate: CS6 will become the WIN XP of Adobe. It will still survive over decades
(...or Adobe is bought by better managers after it´s end)

Why should I prefer NI Compact FieldPoint to Siemens S7-400 PLCs?

NI guys please answer:
Why should I prefer NI Compact FieldPoint controllers to Siemens S7-400 PLCs to build an automation and monitoring systems for a factory?
I am asking this because one of our clients insists to use Siemens S7-400 family of PLCs to build an automation systems and we want to convince them to use NI cFP, but we need help from NI advisors to bring more satisfying reasons to our clients in order to change their mind.
The case includes 51 AI, 15 AO, 108 DI and 51 DO.
The whole process of this chemical factory must be automated and also monitored in a control room in two touch screen monitors and a big 52" LCD panel.
Any help will be appreciated from NI advisors!

For what it's worth, I'd like to make a comment. It's difficult to compare the various PLC vendors with the NI line of products such as cFP because everyone has their various perceptions. In short for me, the NI products are far easier to program than typical PLC's because of the much greater flexibilty and the rich features found in the LabVIEW programming environment. I've programmed several PLC projects over the years that include GE Fanuc, Allen-Bradely, Omron and Siemens (Including the S7-400 series) I'll take the LabVIEW environment any day over miserable ladder logic and the other versions such as instruction lists. The customer gets a better product when it is easier to program and test. I often provide features for the customer using LabVIEW and cFP that I would never think of doing using ladder logic. The bottom line is that it's too easy to compare hardware without consideration of the software or benefits of features available.
And then there are the customer's perceptions. Just the other day I met with a potential customer who hates Siemens with a passion because he had experienced a lot hardware failures. Conversely I have other customers who will not accept NI products only because they are not familiar with them. For example, their technical personnel are familiar with Allen-Bradley and so that's what they want to stay with. I have a very large international customer who has a corporate mandate to use Seimens. It goes on...
I consider my time to be somewhat valuable, which means that I have different pricing structures that are based on what the customer wants. When a customer requires a non-NI product, I literally double the charge for programming time. Some jobs I win and some I lose. However, I'm very busy in the mean time and will continue the preference of vi's over PLC programming.

When creating a table why should we give promary key

when creating a table why should we give promary key

Hi Rambabu,
Primary key is needed so as to avoid duplicate entries and ensure that there are unique entries in the table.
For some applications, it is useful to uniquely identify the rows in a table by one or more columns so that you can process them in a specified sequence, for example. You can do this by assigning a primary key. The column names that are to create the table key are represented by the keywords PRIMARY KEY. The input values of the key columns defined in this way must not be a NULL value.
You can use the primary key to insert rows in a table in the same way as you insert rows in a base table when no primary key is defined. However, the system outputs an error message if you attempt to insert an existing value into the primary key column a second time, since the uniqueness of the column is ensured by defining the primary key.
A primary key can consist of multiple columns. However, it is unusual for a key to be constructed from more than five columns, since this makes it difficult for users to enter unique values. The arrangement of the columns behind the keywords PRIMARY KEY defines the key sequence.
Regards,
Sekhar

Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

AdobeReaderDocumentCouldNotPrint.txt
Glyn Price Tue 17 March 2015
Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
in the Edit/Preference?
Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
MS Window 7
File > Print > Print
I got the error message:
The document could not be printed
I googled this error message and used the following
solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
Edit > Preferences
Category: Security(Enhancement) 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup'
It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
Category: Documents 'View documents in PDF/Mode'
It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
Set it to 'Never'
Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
without doing the above two changes.
I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
needed on a different system?

Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

What in the name of Goodness have you done re: the full screen picture of Contacts on my iPhone? Sort it out Apple or I'm going back to Samsung, where maybe I should have stayed!

What in the name of Goodness have you done with the full screen picture of Contacts? How dare you just change it without so much as a bye or leave? This is NOT progress but a throwback to about 1997! I supposedly 'updated' to an iPhone two weeks ago. Should have stayed with Samsung I reckon. I am deeply unimpressed!

ESOA : Why should we choose ESOA

Hi experts!!!
I recently entered into esoa practice. I have so many queries to put in.... Here are a few....
1) how customer gets benifit out of this esoa...??? how it solves customer problems in present market.??
2) In which form these services are served? (wsdl/ any common format acceptable by all kinds of applications or it is completely based on Netweaver platform?)
3) If it is a wsdl, why should we go for PI 7.1 only...we can also generate wsdls from all previous versions ?
4) According to my understanding from all the blogs & forums, all services will be developed and registered in ESR ( which resides locally in my company), then how these services are said to be global??
5) what is the big difference PI 7.1 makes over the previous versions?
6) How ES workplace is helpfull to my development?
7) I have installed ESR & CE 7.1 into my system.. but i am unable to find proper support from SDN ? Is it still have to come up? or Is no one using PI7.1 yet? or any other reasons??
8) and most imortantly, I have not found any architectural details about ESR or PI 7.1 or CE 7.1. please ignore this question if i m wrong.
It would be great help to all...

Pavani

Hi Pavani,
Lot of questions. If you have gone through the ESOA Architecture/framework, you would have find answers to most of your questions.
> 1) how customer gets benifit out of this esoa...??? how it solves customer problems in present market.??
SOA architecture is spreading with a good pace. Its always better to walk with market trends.
Customer can benfit from less implementation costs, fast implementations and finally the maintainace would be quite easier with ESOA
> 2) In which form these services are served? (wsdl/ any common format acceptable by all kinds of applications or it is completely based on Netweaver platform?)
Yes it is WSDL. It is based on standards and acceptable to all SAP, Non-SAP applications.
>
> 3) If it is a wsdl, why should we go for PI 7.1 only...we can also generate wsdls from all previous versions ?
PI 7.1 contains ESR where you can define/design your new Enterprise services with some governace mechanism. Technically Enterprise Services are Web Services but it has strong governance mechanism. You can develop/define simple web services from previous PI versions.
> 4) According to my understanding from all the blogs & forums, all services will be developed and registered in ESR ( which resides locally in my company), then how these services are said to be global??
Nope, they will be developed in ESR( Enterprise Services Repository) and would be registered in Service Registry not ESR.
>
> 5) what is the big difference PI 7.1 makes over the previous versions?
PI 7.1 is coming with lot of new features, but related to ESOA , main is the ESR.
> 6) How ES workplace is helpfull to my development?
ES Workplace provide test servers where SAP has already hosted implemented services. You can consume that services using your applications. And documentation is provided along every Enterprise Service. SAP has hosted ES Woorkplace for evaluation purpose only
> 7) I have installed ESR & CE 7.1 into my system.. but i am unable to find proper support from SDN ? Is it still have to come up? or Is no one using PI7.1 yet? or any other reasons??
A lot of documentation is available and also forums are available for both CE and ESR. But it will take time to reach at atht level when compared to other Netweaver products
> 8) and most imortantly, I have not found any architectural details about ESR or PI 7.1 or CE 7.1. please ignore this question if i m wrong.
Go through recent Teched Material, you will find a lot.
Hope this helps.

With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

CS4 Should I Stay or should I Go ?

I am having a difficult time to decide if I should stay with Dreamweaver as my WYSIWYG editor for web development.
I am still quite new to the whole Dynamic website development but am well experienced in Visual Basic
I have been using Dreamweaver MX (I know its dated) and learning it from a old book I had on DW Mx
I have discovered that ASP is dead or on its way out and ASP.NET is quickly becoming the new standerd for back end web development logic and bowser indepentent websites. Sooo.....
My Problem is this:
I recently found out that CS4 as dropped ASP.NET all together (for the most part) and that CS3 only has ASP.NET 1.1 support. I really like the Dreamweaver IDE because it is very nice for doing front end design and easy too. However I am not going to switch to PHP or JAVA stuff for back end dev I know and like .NET enviroment (somewhat) and wish to stay with that technology so am I better off droping Dreamweaver all together and going with MS Visual Studio or MS Expression or is there a way that I can keep Dreamweaver (which I would like) and still be able to do the ASP.NET stuff in a different program and than just add it to my Dreamweaver stuff when its ready. I don't know if Dreamweaver will allow you to marry stuff done in ASP.NET with other software to stuff developed in Dreamweaver or not and even if it does I am unsure this is practical perhaps I am better off just dumping Dreamweaver.
Soo.... Should I stay or should I go ?
VR Foxman

I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought I was being. Expression Web like Dreamweaver is more of a front-end design program with some light server side tools in it. You don't really write server side code that much in either one since Code Completion (DW) and Intellisense (EW) basically give you syntax highlighting and some properties but neither are the best choice for serious back-end development. EW lets you interact with the ASP.NET 2.0/3.5 controls. Dreamweaver CS 3 has limited ASP.NET 1/1.1 support which have different capabilities and require a different application pool from 2.0/3.5. You shouldn't mix the two because they really aren't that compatible. Besides the ASP.NET 1/1.1 code output is pretty bad while 2.0/3.5 can be as clean as you have the knowledge to make it.
I don't think it matters much which version of Dreamweaver you when it comes to ASP.NET because you shouldn't rely on any Dreamweaver dotnet controls/appications. What support that is available in CS3 is ASP.NET 1/1.1 and it isn't compatible with ASP.NET 2.0 which is what most hosting is running. Besides ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 is a typical first release product and many of the things have been fixed in 2.0. ASP.NET 3.5 is primarily the Windows Presentation Foundation toolset running on top of 2.0 which is still used for underlying processing so those are what you typically find together in hosting.
There are other benefits from moving to CS 4 from CS 3 but working with dotnet isn't one of them and shouldn't influence the decision on which version to use.
You should spend some time over at http://asp.net in their beginner tutorials because code behind doesn't run in script tags but rather in separate cs or vb files. VB.NET is absolutely nothing like the Visual Basic you are familiar with. My partner has had a difficult time moving from VB to VB.NET as a result. Far more than I had since I used only VBScript. Many of the Classic ASP users I know have migrated to PHP instead of of moving to dotnet for that reason. The structure and methods are closer between ASP & PHP than they are between dotnet and classic ASP. So you might want to experiement a little with both VB.NET and PHP before you commit completely. Get the free Visual Web Developer Express for testing dotnet and use Dreamweaver for testing out PHP.
After you have a handle on which is really a better choice for you then you are in a better position to know how to proceed.

HT5012 Why should I click the accept button for a server certificate at every initial time although it is listed as a trusted root CA on iOS6?

I'm now using a root CA which was listed above.
But when I try to connect WLAN via EAP with RADIUS initially, I should click the accept button for the certificate of the RADIUS Server.
Why should it work?

Hi,
I'm still looking for the reason.
Isn't there any way which can avoid the verification for a public certificate of authentication server using EAP-TLS.
Why should I click the accept button in initial step for authenticating with RADIUS server using EAP-TLS although the root CA of the server certificate is listed in the default trusted CA on iOS?

Cpufrequtils: Why should I care, and acpi-cpufreq vs. p4_clockmod

I'm a cpufrequtils newbie. In the years I've been running Arch on my laptop, I've never set it up.
I wonder, why should I care about cpufrequtils? What should I know about the technology as a laptop user? Does the fact that I rarely unplug make a difference?
I also wonder what module I should be using for frequency scaling. The cpufrequtils article recommends acpi-cpufreq, but the article for my specific laptop recommends p4_clockmod (for some unspecified reason).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Just modprobe both acpi-cpufreq and p4-clockmod, only one of them should be able to load.
the article wrote:
For older Intel CPUs, the command above may return with:
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq ([...]/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device
In this case, replace the kernel module acpi-cpufreq with speedstep-centrino, p4-clockmod or speedstep-ich.
CPU frequency scaling saves power and keeps your processor cooler. It's worth using on a desktop or a server, not just a laptop.
If you use the ondemand governor, and add:
(sleep 5 && echo 11 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold)
to /etc/rc.local, you'll have basically zero performance loss. Usually it scales up the CPU at 95%, with this it will do it at 11% (you can't go lower atm).
You can load the "cpufreq_stats" module and see what it's doing with cpufreq-info. You should notice your laptop fan spin down quite a bit once you set it up.
If you have a watt meter, you can take out the battery and see the power use drop from something like 17w to 12w.

When creating a tablespace why should we enable LOGGING when a database is already on ARCHIVE LOG mode

Question :
When creating a tablespace why should we enable LOGGING when a database is already on ARCHIVE LOG mode ?
Example:
Create Tablespace
CREATE SMALLFILE TABLESPACE "TEST_DATA"
LOGGING
DATAFILE '+DG_TEST_DATA_01(DATAFILE)' SIZE 10G
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 500K MAXSIZE 31000M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
LOGGING: Generate redo logs for creation of tables, indexes and partitions, and for subsequent inserts. Recoverable
Are they not logged and not recoverable if we do not enable LOGGING? What is that ARCHIVELOG mode does?

What is that ARCHIVELOG Mode Does?
Whenever your database is in archive log mode , Oracle will backup the redo log files in the form of Archives so that we can recover the database to the consistent state in case of any failure.
Archive logging is essential for production databases where the loss of a transaction might be fatal.
Why Logging?
Logging is safest method to ensure that all the changes made at the tablespace will be captured and available for recovery in the redo logs.
It is just the level at which we defines:
Force Logging at DB level
Logging at Tablespace Level
Logging at schema Level
Before the existence of FORCE LOGGING, Oracle provided logging and nologging options. These two options have higher precedence at the schema object level than the tablespace level; therefore, it was possible to override the logging settings at the tablespace level with nologging setting at schema object level.

Why should I stay?
