Why would people get a call from my number if I don't call them?

I've had several people "call me back" because my number has called them several times. I don't and they all live in Illinois and I am in Tennessee.
Any ideas?

It's called spoofing:
Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display that is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question. (Wikipedia)

Get a score from the number of click done in an exercise

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to record the number of
click that a student do in an exercise, and then generate a score.
It's an evaluation simulation (an exercise), not a Quizz!
Thanks for your help !

Hi,
I've created an SR for this, as it appears to be a bug in OSB 10.2.0.2. We originally installed 10.1.0.3 and created seven attachments in our Development environment successfully. Since we upgraded to 10.2.0.2 and installed an additional library, we can only create 5 attachments to the new device.
A workaround is to stop the OSB service daemon, add the attachments by editing the device file in:
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/device
Re-start the service daemon and check that all attachments can be pinged successfully.

I grasp that you are having an issue with the display but if you adjust the position of the display it disappears.
Here is a link to Display Quality Issues that may help.
As you stated it goes away when you reposition the display the connection cable may have become loose or damaged from opening and closing the display.
Here is a link to the HP Pavilion 14 Notebook PC, HP Pavilion 14 Touchsmart Notebook PC, HP Pavilion 14 Touchsmart Ultrabo.... Chapter 4 page 36 has removal instructions that may assist you in checking for that problem.

Why do I get a "call ended" alert when using Googles Maps through hands free Blue Tooth service in my car

Why do I get a "call ended" alert after voice directions, when using Googles Maps App with my iPhone 5s paired to Bluetooth service in my GM auto

Hello Snosilla! I'm so sorry for all the confusion and for all the time taken to activate service with us! I do see that the iPhone 5c is $99.99 right now. The iPhone 5s is actually $199.99. There's no need to call Pam anymore, we can take over from here.
I've followed you in the forums. Please accept me, and follow me back. Then, send me a Direct Message and I can look into this for you. If you do not have an active line yet, I may need to get you through to our activations department, but I will do all I can!
Thank you!

Why do we get the data from a view to a report.

hi
why do we get the data from a view to a report. is it possible to get the data from a view in all the cases?

hi Jyotssna,
Suppose you are planning to get the data from multiple tables then you got to specify seveal condtions and make use of joins which results in poor performance in fetching the data . In order to improve the performance we make use of views where the conditions of different tables are defined and the data is fetched accordingly.

Why would a song I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match?

Why would two songs I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match? Both are part of a total album and the rest were uploaded okay.
Thx
ed

Are they old songs that you may have purchased from a different store id years ago?
If your have old purchased songs that are drm protected and they are not associated with the store id that you are currently using then they will not be eligible.
I would burn to a disc and then rip back to your library.
Burn to the cd. Deletel the old files from your libary and delete the files don't keep them. Rip the cd back.
After you have tested the ripped songs back then empty your trash, or back up the old drm protected songs in a seperate folder.

Why did I get an email from the fraud dept saying my order is on hold, told to call a number, and then told by dept it's not true?

I placed an order to upgrade my phone yesterday, and the order went through, I was told the new phone would arrive Thursday. After I got home from work today I saw an email from Verizon that says "Dear Customer:
Verizon Fraud Prevention Team is currently reviewing the following order on your wireless account. Please call the Verizon Fraud Prevention Team at 888-483-7200 option 3, press 1 to verify this Order."
I called this number immediately, since I need this phone ASAP, assuming it would just be a recording and I would have to verify an account number or something. But instead, after following the instructions, I was put on hold because I needed to speak to someone in person. After several instances of my call being cut off after being on hold for at least half an hour, I finally got through after three hours and was able to speak to a fraud representative. I gave her my info and told her the problem and she told me I had called the wrong department. Instead of the fraud department, I needed the online order department. She transferred me, and I waited on hold again. When the representative from the online order dept picked up, she first told me if it was a fraud issue I'd need to speak with the fraud dept - who had JUST transferred me to her. After this, she said that my order is not on hold, because it hasn't even been processed yet or had the credit check done. When I asked if this meant I hadn't needed to call at all, she said yes. Is this actually true or is there a chance that there's an issue with my order I don't know about? If there is no issue, these emails really shouldn't be sent out, they're incredibly misleading, and I've wasted a whole lot of time and experienced an incredible amount of anxiety for no reason.

Hi. I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

Why would I get ReferenceError #1065: "Variable title is not defined."

Well of course it's not defined. It's a dynamic class, and strict mode compilation is turned off so that I don't have to declare the property to compile it.
I've created a library item named "Page" with a single TextField instance named "title".
Page's class is defined in an ActionScript file, and it's assigned to the library item in export for ActionScript.
Page's ActionScript file defines the class as a "dynamic" class, so I should not be getting this runtime error. I turned off strict mode compiling, since it seems to be designed to check the presense of property definitions at compile time for dynamic classes like MovieClip.
public dynamic class Page extends MovieClip
    public function Page()
        super();
        var text:String = title.text; //title can be moused over in the debugger here and shows the correct value, but the flash player throws a runtime error when it tries to access it, but it shouldn't because this is a dynamic class.
So why am I getting a runtime error for the field "title". It makes no sense, because if I step to that line in the FlashDevelop debugger and hold the mouse over "title", it shows that it is in fact the instance of the TextField that I'm trying to access. Yet the player throws an error when I actually try to access it.
Is it a problem or limitation with the access style (i.e. would it work fine if I accessed it as "this.title" or "this["title"]"?

Nevermind. This was apparently a browser caching issue.   The Page base class is defined in the main interface swf, and is externally referenced through its swc in an external "lesson" file that declare a subclass of Page. It was this custom subclass of Page which was throwing the error (basically the same as the simplified example I wrote for my post, where it simply tried to access "title" as a dynamic property of the Page). What happened is the browser was caching an old version of the lesson file with the old definition of the class that was not declared as dynamic. I had received the error before, then updated the class, then I was surprised to see the error persist. It suddenly dawned on me that the browser was probably caching the old version, so I cleared the cache and it seems to work fine now.
Actually, it is a problem after all. I forgot I had updated it to use "this.title" syntax on the page I tested after clearing the cache, but the other pages that try to access title directly as "title" still throw the error. So it seems to be some sort of quirk in how flash accesses properties of a dynamic class. If you try to access them direclty, it must do so in a way that requires the property to be defined, but if you access it via "this.title" or this["title"], the it seems to resolve the property value without throwing the error.
This sucks. I was really trying to not have to write "this." for every property. The entire display list is dynamically generated from some custom XML that allows me to call constructors and set complex type-safe properties, and during construction it was copying each item into a Dictionary by name. This Dictionary was then assigned to the page class as "items", so I was accessing each display object as "item.name". Then I got the brilliant idea of just making Page and its subclasses "dynamic" so that I could just add the DIctionary values on the Page instance itself. I thought I would be able to access the dyamic properties just by their name such as "title", but lo and behold, Flash strikes again, and I have to use dot notation anyway. What do you all think? Any solutions?

Why would I get server cannot be contacted after a few hours of browsing?

I've had this problem since for several years, probably going back to v15 or so. Firefox loads and works fine for a while. Then, suddenly, for reasons I do not understand, it refuses to load any more webpages. I get a "server cannot be found" error. It's like Firefox forgets how to do an IP lookup, or gets a bogus answer that redirects to an IP that is bogus. It doesn't wait or timeout either. Once I get it once I cannot browse to any website until I close Firefox and reopen the program. Even opening new browser tabs or windows doesn't help. I have to completely exist Firefox (all instances).
I would like to note that if it is "about to break", when I click a link, bookmark, or type in the web address, when I hit enter it fails within a second or two. It doesn't sit around and timeout after 30 seconds.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything that is out of the ordinary. I have a few plugins, but this happens on multiple computers, including some that have no plugins disabled.
Here's things that may be affecting this behavior for me:
1. I use a hosts file to block a lot of spammy websites. I use a program called hostsman to handle the hosts file. I have the DNS service disabled because it cannot handle the number of entries that are in the hosts file. (been using this for more than 10 years)
2. I have disabled disk caching (I use an SSD and I have found that disk caching creates more problems for browsing than its worth). I still do the in-RAM caching, and it's not uncommon for Firefox to be using 1GB of RAM or so. I don't think I've ever seen it use more than about 1.2GB of RAM. All of the systems have massive amounts of free RAM. My main desktop has 64GB of RAM, with 75-80% of it free typically.
I've also seen this at different physical locations (home, work, other side of the country at friend's house's, etc.). This problem only affects Firefox. I haven't seen it on Chrome or Internet explorer (albeit I don't use them for hours on end). I typically have this issue a few times a day. I do work from home, and most of my work is in the browser, so it can be a bit annoying.
Right now my hardware on this machine is:
Lenovo Y55 with 16GB of RAM, i7-4700HQ and 512GB SSD. Other systems are far more powerful than this one, so I tend to think that hardware is not the problem.
Thanks.

I don't have an answer for you, but we did receive some reports of this after the release of Firefox 36. One Firefox 36 user also believed that Firefox had stopped sending DNS requests, which is a prerequisite to being able to connect to the web server. Perhaps it became more frequent for you as well, since otherwise, you probably would have posted this a few years ago...
I don't recall that we identified the source of the problem, but in many cases, it was "something" in the settings folder.
Along those lines, could you conduct this test:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
''This is in addition to and does not replace your existing settings.''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should come with completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run) -- type or paste the following and press Enter:
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.''
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like April7, and ignore the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
It might take a while to determine whether the new profile is works better than your old one. If you want to import your bookmarks from your regular profile during that time, here's how:
You can use the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks") to access the Restore feature. The trick is knowing where to find your bookmark backups in your regular profile. After clicking Choose File... you can paste this into the file name space and press Enter to drill down to your profile folders:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
The semi-randomly-named folder that has your last backup is usually the one ending with "default". Click into that one, then into the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. Here you can pick the most recently updated file to restore.
Important: restoring a bookmark backup wipes any bookmarks currently in your active Firefox profile and replaces it with the contents of the backup file.
I think it's also reasonable to install AdBlock Plus, LastPass and SQLite Manager, as those, by themselves, are unlikely to be the source of this seemingly rare problem. But I wouldn't add all your extensions at once to the new profile.

How and why would insurance coverage be dropped from my plan?

Wife had issue with phone that the insurance plan we signed up and paid for but upon going to a store they said we do not have coverage. What have I been paying for I am ready to get lawyers and take Verizon to court for this horrible business, we have always expressed a great desire to be on insurance for both our phones in our plan. Now Verizon is trying to pull this **, very frustrating and poor way to conduct business especially when it is a very competitive market.

Verizon's insurance is Asurion. You can call them and they will tell you when the insurance started and stopped or if you ever had it on that line. Asurion's number is 888-881-2622.
If you HAD Verizon's insurance and you now don't it sometimes falls off when you make a change to your account. Hopefully you notice it and get it corrected before you have a claim.
You can also lose Verizon/Asurion insurance If you have multiple claims in 12 months. With 2 claims your insurance can be cancelled on the line with the multiple claims. Asurion only allows you to have 2 claims for replacement in 12 months.
Verizon only allows you to add insurance during open enrollment or up to a certain time after you first activate a phone.
To get insurance on the line outside of the open enrollment period you have to remove the phone and then activate a new phone on the line, and then add the insurance then.
If like the Verizon rep suggested and you purchased your phone from one of their partners like Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Wirefly they offer their own insurance and bill you separately-- like an autodraft from your bank account.
You may still have insurance even though it is not with Verizon/Asurion. You just need to find out with which company. Check your bank statements, or the company you purchased the phone from. I know that the Wirefly insurance has no deductible, but the moment you file one claim it is cancelled and you can't add it back on.

Apple cannot force Google to offer it there.
