Why the HELL did I ever try any other distro?

Let me preface my comments by saying I was, at one point, a gentoo fanboy. That is, until I discovered I could get a system up and running that's just as fast as a gentoo box in oh, a third of the time.
Long live Arch.

OK,
My first try of linux was moreless in 1997. I tried RH and Caldera ;-) They survived in my PC about 1 week. It seemed to be a big virus :-)
Then, in 2000-2001, i bought my actual PC, and installed XP. But it was horribly slow, so, hating MS, tried Linux again, with RH.
But, again, the same problem: i had the sensation that i a lot of sofware was running or installed, and, didn't know why. That mixture of GTK and QT made me crazy. I prefer seeing how the things are made, before, seeing the whole thing, and discovering, how it was made.
So, i discovered a thing that sounded fine: Linux from scracth (LFS).
I made love with LFS ;-) for about 3 years. I learned what software is, how it works, the dependencies. But, not a the first try. Once made a complete system, i discovered new things that make the system better. At this time, i tried Gentoo, just to try, but didn't like. I prefered making myself the system.
After 4 or 5 system "construction", morelees November 2005, a new version of LFS came up, so i began to make it. When finished LFS, and before starting BLFS, i realizaed, that i was tired of compiling.
So, i decided, that time of LFS was finished, as what i was looking for when i knew about it, was perfectly made (thanks LFS). In that moment, a knew exactly what i want:
- Binary, no more compilation!! :-)
- Good Package system
- Actual software, but only using oficial repos
- Minimal base system (one LFS). After that, i'll install only what i want
- minimal editing of configuration files to make it work
So, before installing distros, i started to read the manuals of every distribution: gentoo (has binary package), RH, Fedora, Suse, Ubuntu... but all of them had things that i didn't like. Until i found someone in the net talking about Arch. I read the user manual and thought: this isn't possible, is what i want, exactly!!
So, i installed the base system, rebooted, made a "pacman -S kde", copied my xorg.conf from LFS to Arch, and... perfect!!!. I only had need of editing 3 or 4 conf files to have my system as i want!!
And, here i follow :-)
bye

Why the heck did Apples think it had to change everything around in iTunes. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Can't find anything now.

Why the heck did Apples think that they had to revamp everything in Itunes.
What was on the left is now on the right side. It wasn't broken, why did you have to fix it? Where is Home share hidden?

Show side bar. Now that's better, thx.

9iAS : WHY THE HELL I NEED A CDROM ?

Anyone wanna to laugh ?
I've here one computer that it does not have a CD-ROM! I unzip 9iAS disks installation to the HARDDRIVE, and i try to install just clicking on ISETUP from the the 1st disk!
I get an error "NO CD-ROM available"! WHY THE HELL i need a cd-rom i thought! And the installer shut off and don't give me a chance to install! Of course i went to other directories and found a SETUP.EXE and try it... but... BUGS, BIGS, BUGS... Some services wont start, sometime RUNTIME errors... etc!
So, i thought... ORACLE for sure made an alliance with CREATIVE CD-ROM'S department and in every program they made a routine to check if a CD-ROM is present... and i install a CD-ROM on the computer and try it again...
EUREKA... Setup launch from disk... but the CD-ROM presence WAS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
THIS IS FOR ORACLE GUYS... Why the HELL i need a CD-ROM if i install 9iAS from HARD DISK ????
Someone should be lay off!!!!!

Hi Joao,
One possible solution is to use the silent install methods outlined in Chapter 6 of the install guide. The iSetup.EXE launcher is specifically designed for use from the CD's, since that is the most common method of distribution. However, you can also run the installation silently or semi-silently, depending on how much information you provide in the response file. The response files are organized on the first CD under the \silent\<install_type> directories.
If you are installing the Enterprise Edition, please pay special attention to the silent install chapter, as there are several steps involved in handling the 8.0.6 RSF-based components to ensure that they are installed properly.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Larry

Problem in SQL with CURSOR( ) ,Why the CURSOR did not work?

hi All:
I have a problem in SQL with CURSOR.
The data is as the attachments.
Here is the SQL statement as follow:
SELECT A.WADCTO,A.WADOCO,B.IGCOST,CURSOR (SELECT X.IGLITM
FROM F3102 X
WHERE X.IGDOCO=A.WADOCO
AND X.IGCOST IN ('B1','D1','C3')) AS DETAIL
FROM F4801 A INNER JOIN F3102 B ON A.WADOCO=B.IGDOCO AND A.WADCTO=B.IGDCTO AND B.IGCOST>' '
WHERE A.WADOCO='10004'
The statement above returns records as follow:
WADC WADOCO IGCOST DETAIL
WO 10004 A1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
IGLITM
1KV90CPG2
1KV90CPG2
1KV90CPG2
But, after I add one statement in the subquery, there is no record returned from CURSOR.
Here is the SQL statement:
SELECT A.WADCTO,A.WADOCO,B.IGCOST,CURSOR (SELECT X.IGLITM
FROM F3102 X
WHERE X.IGDOCO=A.WADOCO
AND X.IGCOST=B.IGCOST
AND X.IGCOST IN ('B1','D1','C3')) AS DETAIL
FROM F4801 A INNER JOIN F3102 B ON A.WADOCO=B.IGDOCO AND A.WADCTO=B.IGDCTO AND B.IGCOST>' '
WHERE A.WADOCO='10004'
The statement above returns records as follow:
WADC WADOCO IGCOST DETAIL
WO 10004 A1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
no rows selected
Why the CURSOR did not work?
The database version is Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production.
F3102 DATA:
IGDOCO     IGDCTO     IGLITM     IGCOST

Why this structure and not a join?
The cursor() function returns a cursor handle that needs to be processed - in other words, the client needs to fetch data from it. The Oracle® Database SQL Reference+ (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/expressions005.htm#i1035107) describes it as being equivalent to a ref cursor handle.
Thus why are you creating ref cursor handles as a column in a SQL projection - where each row will have a "+nested+" ref cursor handle to process. What problem are you attempting to hack solve this way?

Why the hell can't I contact Mozilla directly?

Why the hell do I have to ask a question to a public "community"? I want to contact someone at Mozilla directly. Why isn't there a direct contact link? Can someone give me a link, phone number or email address to Mozilla directly. My account has been hacked and compromised!!!

My Account means which one?

Why the hell shall I buy a external product? (x-fi car

Why the hell shall I buy the digital i/o module to have digital output on my soundcard?
I need to have digital output to connect my soundcard to my ddts-00 decoder like i used to do with my old audigy 2 zs.
Why does creative makes me buy a external module which is hard to find and expensi've when i just spent so much money to buy the soundcard?
Im so disappointed with this situation..Message Edited by tecznology on 07-2-20072:3 AM

If you have to buy something, it's an?adapter. If you own a SB460 model you need a miniplug-to-RCA cable or adapter (and the DDTS00 included one) and if you own a SB0730 model you need an optical miniplug-to-toslink adapter or cable.

Why the hell is CC AGAIN telling me I am on a trial version and asking me to login and register?

Why the hell is CC AGAIN telling me I am on a trial version (I am not and have never been) and asking me to login and register?
This happened last year and I thought Adobe had fixed it but it has again been occurring for the past couple of weeks and it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!
... The Adobe CONTACT page is not working. I just get "Select Your Adobe Product" and the little spinning thing saying "Loading" (but it never does). It is NOT my connection. Other pages and other websites are working just fine.

Ah... I feel your pain.
I had to phone Adobe and spend an hour on the phone while they 'fixed' this (yet again) for me.
So far so good... ring or 'live chat' 'em! ... it's the only way

Why the hell i see adds all over the browser even though i have my ad block running? and why the hell everytime i set the home page to default, its not?

hi,
why the hell there are adds every where now? it was not the case earlier? and why the hell every time i change the home page to be the default one, the min i restart Firefox it came again to the same silly page i don't know from where the hell it came from?!?!
it was a very pleasant experience to use Firefox, but not anymore, i like it even its heavy on the machine and stuck alot lately!!!
the crash reports NEVER managed to be sent i don't know why!!
come on guys, you can do better than that!

Hi ajag,
Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
*''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

I use an external HD (WD My Passport) to store my iPhoto photos. When I backed these up on another EHD (WD My Passport Ultra), thumbnails, and a lot of the photos did not copy (show "!"). Now 1st HD says its on a locked volume? What happened?

I use an external HD (WD My Passport) to store my iPhoto photos. When I copied these up on another EHD (WD My Passport Ultra): thumbnails, and a lot of the photos did not copy (show "!"). Now 1st HD says its on a locked volume? Why?
Right before the coping finished (started with a 40 hour copy time (I know it's estimated), and with about 30 minutes left, a window popped up and said there was a name conflict between the two HD. Then it wrapped things up in a minute or so. We had formatted the new EHD for Mac. What happened?

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

Why the hell can't i make the call?

i bought a monthly plan with 400 mins to call to hk. after i have finished my minutes, i bought another monthly plan, but i couldn't make the call !!! it keeps telling me not enough credits!!! what the hell is wrong with this ????

Subscriptions minutes are given per month, not per payment.
This means if you purchase 400minutes on the 13th then these minutes are available till next month 13th. You can't add another 400 minutes before 13th.
Your order went through and your minutes will become available from the 13th of December.
If you need more minutes right now then you can purchase a different subscription, for example 120minutes.

Why the hell won't this Zen Touch syn

OK, now it's getting frustrating...
On my girlfriend's laptop, I sync my Zen Touch with no issues. On my computer, I can't get this sh$t to work. Can anyone help?!
Here's my details:
I have a USB. on my compuer. I ran into a bunch of issues when syncing. When I did get the Zen to sync (which happened only sporadically), it would sync for a bit and then crap out. Then, I decided to buy a USB 2.0 PCI card for my computer, thinking that maybe my USB speed (or lack thereof), was making the connection fail. I installed the USB card, and voila, I synced my entire library with no issues, and at a good speed. Then, I ripped a bunch of new disks onto my computer. Now when I try to sync, the old problems are back. Basically, my computer tells me that the Zen is not connected, even though it is. In fact, when I plug my Zen in, a little pop up box appears in the Taskbar (by my system clock) telling me that the Zen is connected. It has a link to "Organize", which means it launches the Creative Organizer program...which tells me I'm not connected. The Zen Explorer doesn't work either.
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the Zen drivers and programs, as per a customer service rep at Creative, so I have the latest versions of everything. I have the latest firmware for the Zen already installed. I have the latest drivers for my USB, since it's a new card. I've reset the player and performed a disk cleanup. What else is there?! The only other thing is to get Windows XP Sp2 (I have SP installed, and I really don't want to install SP2 right now). Is SP2 required? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi,
I've been getting the exact same kind of problems with a new Micro, but I have SP2, so I guess that wouldn't solve your problems...
For me, in short, USB syncing only works from Windows Media Player, and sporadically (sometimes, either the device isn't recognized at all, or the micro hangs and I have to remove the battery).
I've removed/reinstalled everything twice, and now things seem to be a bit better (but still far from 00%), but only with WMP. I also disabled USB 2.0, and only use USB . for now. Not sure it has an impact though...
The creative apps (Explorer, etc) never see the player, even if WMP sees it...
I've noticed something:
When I install the Creative Media Explorer app (is that the name?), I get a little "Zen micro explorer" icon in the Windows Explorer tree.
Now, when I connect my Micro to the PC, another little icon appears under the file tree, but I would expect this new icon to appear *under* the Zen Micro Explorer icon in the hierarchy, but it isn't the case; they are both at the root of the tree...
I have the feeling this has something to do with the device not being seen by the Creative ap
ps.
For now, I don't know if this is a device problem (everything works fine on this side), or more probably some config issue on the PC. I'm trying to find another machine to test from.
In the meantime, I'll keep searching. I really like this little gadget, so I wouldn't want to have to return it.
Good luck to both of us!

Why the hell are my creative cloud files being archived!?! i did NOT delete them. this is a completely undependable service.

Why the hell does the flash installer try to install mcafee virus scanner?

Some not so tech savvy person is going to have a scanner already installed on the computer, try to install flash, and BAM! error BZZT ERROR two antiviruses will be installed, causing errors on the system. My Gosh. I hope you guy\s company fails becuase portable devices dont support flash.
