WIN in our Prize Draw! What's your baby's funniest...

Hi everyone
BT have just launched the Baby Monitor & Pacifier. To celebrate this new arrival we’re running a Prize draw for BT Baby Monitors here in The Lounge.
For those gadget-mad dads, mums, parents to be and grandparents out there, here’s the science bit…
The BT Baby Monitor & Pacifier is the only baby monitor in the UK with an MP3 / iPod connection so you can play the baby its favourite song – or your own.
It’s got HD sound and a talk-back feature.
It has a huge range of 50m indoors and 300m outdoors
There’s a temperature-changing nightlight on the monitor which changes colour depending on the room temperature so it can be checked at a glance.
It comes with various modes of alerting parents to sounds in the baby’s room – full sound monitoring, beeping, vibration, or flashing lights.
Sound like a prize you’d like to win?
TO ENTER: Simply post a reply to this thread answering the question ‘What’s your baby’s funniest moment?’ And that’s it!
There will be 10 winners. The first 5 picked at random will each get a BT Baby Monitor & Pacifier; the second 5 will each get a BT Baby Monitor 250.

WIN a Samsung Tab – Community Prize Draw

Hi Everyone
Well we’ve got sporting fever here… spurred on by the exciting Record Breakers competition being run across wider BT we wanted to join in with some of the action…
We’re really excited about the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games so decided to run our own Olympic Games themed Prize Draw in the community! We reckon that communications are going to play a massive part in the London 2012 Olympic Games – the way that athletes and coaches keep in touch, how events are beamed around the world and the different ways people watch/listen or read about the action. We wonder what the first Olympians would have thought about all these futuristic ways of communicating and keeping people connected?
With that in mind we thought it would be fun to think about what kind of futuristic events could be introduced as a new Olympic sport! Communications have changed so much over the years, what do you think could change in terms of Olympic events in future?
Share your thoughts with us and you could win a Samsung Tab! This is a great prize so can’t wait to read all your suggestions – remember you need to be in it to win it!
How to enter
To enter, simply post a reply to this thread answering the question ‘If you could add a new futuristic event into the Olympic Games, what would it be and why?’ And that’s it!
The winner will be the first valid entry chosen at random after 20th December 2011.

A space-based resource management game,loosely a sequel to the earlier Utopia. You start building your community on an asteroid, whose natural resources must be mined and put to use. You must use generators to power the mines and their auxilliary buildings such as storage facilities, which must be maintained. All of this costs money, but the mined resources can be sold or used. Problems you face include pollution, collisions with other asteroids, worker discontent and alien unrest. Battles against the aliens indigenous to the area must be fought, making building and maintaining a space fleet a priority.

How do I create a simple "prize draw" program?

Hey, I'd like to create a simple "prize draw" program
that randomly selects a name (or number) from a list of names, I'd like it to be my own custom version. For a programmer this is probably the easiest thing but I'm new to programming (beginner), don't eve know if I'm in the right subcategory (flash). Is there a tutorial or something somewhere that you guys think could help me out, please?

Create the list as an array and use the Math methods to randomly pick one of the values from the array.
var prizeArray = new Array("name1","name2");
var drawnPrize = prizeArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*prizeArray.length)];
trace(drawnPrize);
If you don't know if you should be using Flash, then you probably don't want to be looking for help until you figure out what you intend to do for your custom design.

Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Forms and validations - here's some of my ideas, what are yours?

One of the big things still missing from the JFX space (especially where JEE is concerned) is forms and form validations. Maybe you guys have been luckier but at least 80% of the screens I've had to build in my career have been boring old forms - enter data in the fields, validate them and hit submit.
So, I've been hacking around on this to try and get a pattern and hopefully some reusable classes for doing this in JavaFX. I have something that works but the code is verbose and less than elegant. I'm hoping some of you guys might want to kick around some ideas on this with me here. If we can come up with something that works, I'd like to either include it in [url http://www.zenjava.com/jfx-flow/]JFX Flow, or put it out as a separate open source project (whichever makes more sense).
What I think needs to be supported:
* Map between a normal Java bean and the fields on a form
* Validate the data, i.e. specifying the constraints on a field and then checking those constraints
* Show a validation summary at the top of the form
* Highlight individual fields if they have validation errors
* Support auto-validation, i.e. the validation highlights and messages will instantly update as the user types
Some extra restrictions:
* The data input will ideally be a normal bean and so it won't have observable values on it. In most projects I use, the beans are coming from the server and sometimes may be shared between desktop client and a jsp/web client, or even be a third party API so they can't be changed. End result: we don't want any JFX complexities or dependencies in our server code (design leak). This rule could be bent but only as a last resort.
* The validations must be defined relative to the normal data bean not a JFX model or controller, etc. This is so the bean can be validated on the server as well as the client. The server must do validation to prevent dodgy data getting in (never trust a client). Ideally we don't want to be specifying the validations in two places (i.e. once for the client and once for the server) as this creates maintenance problems and weakens the integrity of the system over time.
* Ideally the validation mechanism will be based on [url http://java.dzone.com/articles/bean-validation-and-jsr-303]JSR 303 - Bean Validations as this is quite nice. This is flexible however if there is a suitable alternative that integrates better.
To give us something to reference in conversation, I've created a small working sample. This is only meant to be a rough starting point (at best) and I'd really like to get feedback on both the code (i.e. should we have a 'presentation model', how could bindings be better used, etc) and the general way I'm representing errors (i.e. should we use tooltips to show errors, or actually show the errors next to the field, should we use border colours or put a little exclamation mark over the field, should the fields be auto-validated or only validated on submit, etc).
The example is a single form for editing a person. It has three fields, first name, last name and gender. When the form is blank, auto-editing is off. When the user submits the form it is validated and from that point on auto-validating is on. Error fields are highlighted with a style change, and a tooltip is added with details (I think we can do better - what's your ideas?).
I have used all plain Java to keep thngs simple, but I'd be looking for the end result to translate to FXML as well. I've also coded everything into the one class but the eventual goal would be to have the common stuff moved out to reusable base classes, etc.
Here's a workspace with some example code in it: http://code.google.com/p/jfxee/source/browse/trunk/jfxforms/
Here's a running deploy of that code: http://zenjava.com/demo/form/forms.html
(edit: I've moved the code to its own project and changed the url for the launch - the values above are the new, correct ones)
Looking forward to hearing some thoughts on this topic.

At Devoxx I did some straw man prototype that you might find useful (or hopeless, I'm not sure which, I did it in a hurry :-)). I followed some principles that I was influenced by years back by JGoodies, but I haven't looked at the JGoodies stuff in forever and know it isn't all the same. But anyway, like I said, I'm not sure it is actually useful but maybe there is something genius hidden in there.
I have a Validator, which is just a simple SAM:
import javafx.scene.control.Control;
* @author Richard
public interface Validator<C extends Control> {
    public ValidationResult validate(C control);
}The idea is that it is given a Control, it will validate that control, and then return a ValidationResult. ValidationResult is actually only needed in cases of errors, since returning null indicates success, so the following is somewhat of a crock but you could rename it ValidationError or something and remove the "SUCCESS" type and there you are.
public class ValidationResult {
    public enum Type { ERROR, WARNING, SUCCESS }
    private final String message;
    private final Type type;
    public ValidationResult(String message, Type type) {
        this.message = message;
        this.type = type;
    public final String getMessage() {
        return message;
    public final Type getType() {
        return type;
    }For good measure I threw in a ValidationEvent.
import javafx.event.Event;
import javafx.event.EventType;
* @author Richard
public class ValidationEvent extends Event {
    public static final EventType<ValidationEvent> ANY =
            new EventType<ValidationEvent>(Event.ANY, "VALIDATION");
    private final ValidationResult result;
    public ValidationEvent(ValidationResult result) {
        super(ANY);
        this.result = result;
    public final ValidationResult getResult() { return result; }
}Because Control's don't presently have the notion of validation built in, I created a ValidationPane which is like a specialized StackPane, where there is a bottom layer, the control, and a glass pane layer. And from CSS you can style it however you like. The ValidationPane has a CSS style class set in case of errors / warnings. So without augmenting controls, the idea is that a ValidationPane subclass would exist to wrap each type of control you needed to validate. It did this because somebody has to wire up the listeners to the control to react on text input etc, and so I thought I'd like that encapsulated in something reusable, and there it was.
import javafx.beans.DefaultProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.ObjectProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyObjectProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyObjectWrapper;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleObjectProperty;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;

import javafx.scene.control.Control;
import javafx.scene.layout.Region;
* @author Richard
@DefaultProperty("content")
public abstract class ValidatorPane<C extends Control> extends Region {
     * The content for the validator pane is the control it should work with.
    private ObjectProperty<C> content = new SimpleObjectProperty<C>(this, "content", null);
    public final C getContent() { return content.get(); }
    public final void setContent(C value) { content.set(value); }
    public final ObjectProperty<C> contentProperty() { return content; }
     * The validator
    private ObjectProperty<Validator<C>> validator = new SimpleObjectProperty<Validator<C>>(this, "validator");
    public final Validator<C> getValidator() { return validator.get(); }
    public final void setValidator(Validator<C> value) { validator.set(value); }
    public final ObjectProperty<Validator<C>> validatorProperty() { return validator; }
     * The validation result
    private ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<ValidationResult> validationResult = new ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<ValidationResult>(this, "validationResult");
    public final ValidationResult getValidationResult() { return validationResult.get(); }
    public final ReadOnlyObjectProperty<ValidationResult> validationResultProperty() { return validationResult.getReadOnlyProperty(); }
     * The event handler
    private ObjectProperty<EventHandler<ValidationEvent>> onValidation =
            new SimpleObjectProperty<EventHandler<ValidationEvent>>(this, "onValidation");
    public final EventHandler<ValidationEvent> getOnValidation() { return onValidation.get(); }
    public final void setOnValidation(EventHandler<ValidationEvent> value) { onValidation.set(value); }
    public final ObjectProperty<EventHandler<ValidationEvent>> onValidationProperty() { return onValidation; }
    public ValidatorPane() {
        content.addListener(new ChangeListener<Control>() {
            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Control> ov, Control oldValue, Control newValue) {
                if (oldValue != null) getChildren().remove(oldValue);
                if (newValue != null) getChildren().add(0, newValue);
    protected void handleValidationResult(ValidationResult result) {
        getStyleClass().removeAll("validation-error", "validation-warning");
        if (result != null) {
            if (result.getType() == ValidationResult.Type.ERROR) {
                getStyleClass().add("validation-error");
            } else if (result.getType() == ValidationResult.Type.WARNING) {
                getStyleClass().add("validation-warning");
        validationResult.set(result);
        fireEvent(new ValidationEvent(result));
    @Override
    protected void layoutChildren() {
        Control c = content.get();
        if (c != null) {
            c.resizeRelocate(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
    @Override
    protected double computeMaxHeight(double d) {
        Control c = content.get();
        return c == null ? super.computeMaxHeight(d) : c.maxHeight(d);
    @Override
    protected double computeMinHeight(double d) {
        Control c = content.get();
        return c == null ? super.computeMinHeight(d) : c.minHeight(d);
    @Override
    protected double computePrefHeight(double d) {
        Control c = content.get();
        return c == null ? super.computePrefHeight(d) : c.prefHeight(d);
    @Override
    protected double computePrefWidth(double d) {
        Control c = content.get();
        return c == null ? super.computePrefWidth(d) : c.prefWidth(d);
    @Override
    protected double computeMaxWidth(double d) {
        Control c = content.get();
        return c == null ? super.computeMaxWidth(d) : c.maxWidth(d);
    @Override
    protected double computeMinWidth(double d) {
        Control c = content.get();
        return c == null ? super.computeMinWidth(d) : c.minWidth(d);
}And finally the TextInputValidatorPane instance good for any TextInputControl. I think.
import javafx.beans.InvalidationListener;
import javafx.beans.Observable;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.scene.control.TextInputControl;
* @author Richard
public class TextInputValidatorPane<C extends TextInputControl> extends ValidatorPane<C> {
    private InvalidationListener textListener = new InvalidationListener() {
        public void invalidated(Observable o) {
            final Validator v = getValidator();
            final ValidationResult result = v != null ?
                v.validate(getContent()) :
                new ValidationResult("", ValidationResult.Type.SUCCESS);
            handleValidationResult(result);
    public TextInputValidatorPane() {
        contentProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<C>() {
            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends C> ov, C oldValue, C newValue) {
                if (oldValue != null) oldValue.textProperty().removeListener(textListener);
                if (newValue != null) newValue.textProperty().addListener(textListener);
    public TextInputValidatorPane(C field) {
        this();
        setContent(field);
}This should also be usable as is from FXML since you can easily wrap a TextInputValidatorPane around a TextField, and CSS does all the styling, so I think it all just works. You probably need to have some library of sophisticated Validators which know how to read text from a TextField and compare against the validation annotations, but otherwise it should work well enough. Anyway, in the actual implementation I think I would omit the ValidationPane stuff completely and just build that part into the controls / skins. Like I said, this was a quick hack but seemed to get the "how do I visualize validation errors" part of the problem solved.

What's your favourite game on the Sony PlayStation?

My favourite game has to be Street Fighter Alpha 3. One of the best beat em up games I ever played! Loved the World Tour mode! Soundtrack and gameplay was top notch. Shame Capcom has no plans for Street Fighter Alpha 4. So what's your favourite game on the Sony PlayStation?

Seems like one of those questions that always gets asked to open a debate but find that everyone has already answered countless times. Nevermind though, as a newbe I'll give it a go. Not an easy one to answer. I like Fifa 2002 and of course Grand Turismo 2 plus Driver. Recently found a couple of games in a skip and in our local library about 40 PS1 games in their CD recycling box. Still trying to find manuals for them.

What's your Favorite Movie?

What's your favorite movie? I always enjoyed when Harrison Ford reminded us all to wear our seat belts when flying an unlicensed refridgerator through an atomic explosion. Great line huh? Something that came to mind during my viewing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I have silly quotes like this for most of my favorite movies I hope you enjoy them...
The Anime Birdie

Time for me to weigh in, and like GeraldRose, I have way too many to list, so I will explain why I like them so much!
Superbad - I also find this to be one of the funniest movies I have ever encountered. To top it off, I know a dude irl (well from online) who looks totally like McLovin. Classic.
The Changeling (1980) - Good, older creepy movie. George C. Scott delivers a sharp performance as a man entangled in a mystery that truly affects his life. One of the few movies as a kid that scared the dickens out of me, without showing anything really.
Say Anything - I am a hard core John Cusack fan, and I loved him as Lloyd Dobler in this movie. It also was my introduction to Lili Taylor, who I came to adore in later roles. This might seem like a teenage love movie, but it is so much more. I highly recommend!
Dogfight - The late River Phoenix and Lili Taylor are a delight in this film. Set in the 60's Phoenix plays a marine on weekend leave, who is on a mission to find the ugliest date for a contest with his fellow servicemen - a "Dogfight". He stumbles upon Rose, (Taylor) who is not exactly how he first assesses her. A bittersweet love story.
The Princess Bride - Robin Wright Penn, Mandy Patinkin, Carey Elwes, and Billy Crystal are just a few of the stars in this crowd pleaser. It follows the story of Buttercup and her love for Westley. This is not your traditional love story, but full of laughs and action!
Empire Records - A genuinely guilty pleasure, full of great music and laughs. Rory Cochranes turn as Lucas is brilliant. Maxwell Caulfield of Grease 2 makes a delightful turn as a washed up songbird "Rex Manning". It's REX MANNING DAY!!!! Also, one of my other faves Ethan Embry (then Ethan Randall) makes the role of Mark his own. First thing that I ever saw Seth Green in...he cracks me up.
All of the Austin Powers movies, All of the LOTR movies, Every Kevin Smith movie ever made, ESPECIALLY his newest Zach and Miri...well you know the rest.
I could go on and on. LOL!

HT201694 My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* text messages.

My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* all text messages. When the SIM cards are swapped between phones, will any of these things be lost/deleted?

If I am able to switch them without losing data, I will, but am afraid to do so if there is a chance that any data will be erased. (I'm not sure if the photos, video, and -namely- texts are saved to the actual SIM card. Can text messages be backed up?
iPhone do not store anything on the sim.
Photos should be saved on computer like any other digital camera.
You can restore the backup for your dad as well as for yourself while swapping phones.

What is your favorite non-self-referential poll?

Apart from this one, of course...
(I'm still wondering why fstream wanted to deflect our attention from the UK's lard shortage...)

My favorite poll was, "What is your favouriteCanadian
City under one million people?"The consensus was for
Flin Flon,
right?
I believe that is where the government grows its
"medicinal" marijuana, in an underground mine...You are correct. However, not because of the maryjane, rather their more famous export.

Allow modifications? What is your companies process?

Hello. In general, we do not allow our development teams to modify SAP code and/or objects. With the exception of SAP OSS notes.
However, there are times when a modification may be necessary. We typically will request, when possible, that they use Append Structures for tables, or write a Z-program for ABAP.
What is your companies policy on allowing modifications to your SAP system? And, who in your organization oversee's, evaluates requests, and polices this?
thanks for your comments!

Well at my company, we do not allow for modifications of standard objects aside from the user exits within SD. This is not a harden fast rule, but a preference. There have been occasions where it was a must, two that come to mind is the standard program for uploading routings via LSMW, and the other is within the CO40 transaction. The first was to help with messaging since the standard didn't provide good messasges to the user, the second was a performance issue which we went thru OSS, but they said that is the way it should be and we are not changing it. Both worked out good for us, but of course we need to take a second look when upgrading. I am the only developer here, so it is easy to manage the modification, and the rule of thumb is, if we absolutly must, then ok, but make sure you explore other alternatives first.

Rich Heilman

What is your theory on what happened with ASUS Transformer Prime and BB?

This is my theory:
First preorder batch 11/22:
BB opened up for preorders based on expected date of anticipated 12/9 ship date. The buyers at BB that orders from vendors did not buy any preorder stock from ASUS in Champagne on first order. I gotta bleive that the reason that the Champagne prime is not shipping from BB is a "buyer" error. They filled their first allotment of preorders. That is why BB shiped out grey from the first wave of preorders. Other vendors got both- why did BB only get grey? The buyers always think they know what we want or will order and only ordered grey in the request to ASUS. They got caught with their pants down when Amazon cancelled the orders on 12/2 and EVERYONE affected jumped on BB.com and ordered the champagne which was available as the next wave.
Amazon fallout 12/2:
Best buy opened up another set of preorder allotment - 2nd wave, and got hit hard real fast with preorders that they were not prepared for, or had stock for.
ASUS is filling initial preorder requests from the resellers in the order that the resellers requested too. BB was offering that in the next wave of preorders, but they probably took too many orders at once, and they put in another order to ASUS around the 12/9 delay ship date and ASUS was not taking them at that time (delays due to Wifi reported) .
ASUS 12/9 wifi report delay in shiping:
ASUS was cought in a delay with reports of wifi range problems and either stopped taking orders, or recallled/replaced shipment with others. Once ASUS took orders again from the reseller they are shipping daily based on the preorder backlog. Asus is responsible for the delay in accepting orders from vendors, and BB had a buyer error, by either waiting too long to put in the first wave of orders, or not ordering enough, and now they are in the back of the vendor reseller line waiting on ASUS to get to them.
12/19:
The date of irst ship came and BB shipped all it ordered from first wave and could not get anymore from ASUS in the second wave to cover the Amazon fallout system overload. They were left in the back of the line of all other vendors becuse no reseller could get a second next wave fulfillment until all others got their first waves fulfilled. The 12/9 delay kept next waves from being fulfilled, and that is why inventory is trickling into the other resellers and BB can only get a few more at a time. BB ordered champagne on a next wave delay.
The thing that bugs me in to no end is how is a person that ordered grey on 11/28 at BB still on backorder, but a 12/05 grey order has shipped and delivered?? This is not ASUS fault, That is poor business operations on BB.
That is my "perfect storm" theory- what do you think? What is your theory?

That is pretty close to what I think happened.
It does seem pretty clear that Best Buy never initially ordered and Champagne Primes. I have combed through the threads at this site and others and haven’t seen one person receive a Champagne Prime from BB. Meanwhile people who bought from other resellers like New Egg and Amazon have received Champagne Primes.
The mismanagement of shipping out orders chronologically has to be maddening for the people who ordered the Grey Primes. I do feel for these people that ordered the same exact product before others who now have their Prime, but will still don’t have their items.
The communication from Best Buy had been terrible. Screwing up the orders in the 2 examples are somewhat forgivable to me, but the miscommunication and what seems to be deceitfulness that Best Buy has exhibited is not. They just seem not to care about the customer any more. From my experience, prior to the release I was lead to believe my order would be ready to ship on 12/18. Then it went on backorder with no real reason why. Two (12/18 and 12/22) of three calls to customer service reps indicated that my Champagne Prime would still arrive by today (12/23), with the other call rep (12/20) saying she basically had no when my item would be in. Then yesterday afternoon a post from a customer care rep on these boards confirming that I am basically hosed because I choose BB to fulfill my Prime preorder.
