Word to the wise about ATI
Please see the forum Documentation Discussion ATI Radeon and Kernel2.6 (Updated).
This discussion has 29,564 viewers, a poll to vote on its usefulness, a total of 208 replies and 14 pages of them.
The indications are that the ATI modules are a bear to install and run.
The evidence indicates that the stock kernel will not permit the loading of ATI drivers. The kernel has to be hand -made by the user.
This is stated in the forum replies....can you believe it is a fact or just a wily-nily comment?
The sheer number of difficulties encountered indicate the poor definition of the problem in the first place.
I predict this is only the beginning of even further problems as the archlinux kernels are pacman -Syu installed.
I have two ATI modules I will send back to ATI...these guys are in Canada,yet!!!!
I have to sign-off now while I go to Fry's to get a good video card.
Bye-Bye ATI!!(Care to join me?)
I never had any issues getting my ATI card to work under linux. The new ATI drivers are much improved over the previous version. Yes, I had to recompile the kernel so that AGPGART was a module but that isn't such big of a deal. I first installed the ATI drivers under Slack w/o any sort of package management using rpm2tgz.
The one thing that bugs most people about the ATI linux drivers isn't that the module is difficult to install but that the performance isn't up to par with their windows offerings. nVidia drivers are very close on both platforms. If I had a newer ATI card I'd probably stick with it before putting up more money to get an nVidia card (get an older GeForce 4 Ti or GeForce 6) right now. But, I'll probably always buy nVidia for future graphics cards. When I build my AMD64 box down the road it will be powered by nVidia graphics unless ATI improves by vast amounts in the driver department. FYI, I'm using an nVidia GeForce FX 5700 my current Athlon XP box and it isn't even close to being the card my old Radeon 8500 is for Windows, but under linux it's much better.

A word to the wise about the PBO of a docked tree
I was just having an interesting discussion with Rich H and Max B over in ABAP Objects about "re-entrant" docked trees. ("Re-entrant" in this case means you may have to rebuild the same tree control from a different root during the same execution of the program - this is not exactly what "re-entrant" used to mean to a CICS COBOL programmer, but it's close.)
Anyway, suppose you pop a large ABAP OO tree the correct way - with just the root and its immediate children in the node table. (Then as the user clicks on an expandable folder, you find its children and insert them, etc.)
Then you have to be very very careful if the tree is docked on a screen with its own PBO, because the PBO will actually fire each time you click on a folder to expand it.
Why do you have to be careful?
Well, suppose you're in the situation I was telling Rich and Max about - where the user can back out of the tree screen and come back into it with a different "root" selection.
Then you have to distinguish between two different cases in which the PBO will fire - the case where you want to pop a brand-new tree and the case where you want to continue pop new levels of an existing tree.
As I said, it never occurred to me that the screen PBO would have to fire each time the user did nothing else except expand a folder in a tree on the screen.
So I thought this might not occur to others as well, and that's why I'm mentioning it while we're sitting here having coffee.I never had any issues getting my ATI card to work under linux.

Word to the Wise - Privacy Issue
AT&T appears to quickly recycle old phone numbers these days, but it appears they do not necessarily disable the online account that was established by the previous owner of the number. It is possible that your account information may remain accessible by the previous owner of the phone number.
Sounds odd doesn't it? But after cancelling an AT&T account recently, I found that the online account could still be accessed using my old cell number and password even though the number had been reassigned to another customer. Word to the wise ... make sure you set a new password for your online account!I never had any issues getting my ATI card to work under linux.

Do not upgrade your bios on a 7030 board just because an msi tech tells you to.Please search this forum first as some of the msi techs only know 1 word, RMA and are either unwilling or unable to help sort out a problem i' m glad there is no msi tech over this forum or all we would do is RMA.
unfortunately, most people don't become aware of the existence of this forum until after the event, and they are searching for help...
its not just MSI tech.... if you buy a game and you experience a few problems with it, the first general advice you will get from developer/publisher's official website is to "update BIOS and drivers" - ie a general stock reply, which isn't really of much help at all, if you have an underlying hardware problem that even the most stable BIOS and drivers can't address... -
Word to the wise: title 3d and autorender function
If you have the auto-render function turned on, open title 3-d and walk away for lunch, you'll freeze FCP.
You get the little "Auto render complete" box, but you cannot click OK because it comes from FCP, which becomes idle when you open 3d.
Possible lessons: don't eat lunch. Don't use auto render. Don't leave title 3d open. Eat in the edit room and keep working. Save early, save often.I've had this happen and I think I got out of it by pressing return - couldn't click on it, but I could press return or ESC. Nasty trap, tho...

Kaspersky anti virus 2011 kernel panic- a warning to the wise on compatibility
Lately after all the malware scares including macdefender I decided to invest in kaspersky anti virus 2011.. Unfortunately I found that after i installed the program kernel panic after kernel panic because of Presumably compatibility issues (an updateed version has been released now) the installation became completely corrupted.
Great I thought.. So let's boot recovery hd to restore a time machine backup. Oops the recovery hd isn't on the boot select screen as expected but available be cause of filevault2 (constructive criticism apple perhaps a did you know or tooltip for commands would be useful on the boot up graphic?), which is ok if a little inconsistent in the design.
Right done.. So I managed to get to the stage of restoring my backup before reaching the spinning wheel of death during the restore process (probably wifi. Related). Only to find that the whole partition had been wiped including the recoveryHd.
Although this is to be expected you'd imagine that it would be a better failsafe incase of connectivity issue to clone the recovery hd partition locally first before looking to the time machine backup just in case. As in my case the perhaps self inflicted response was to restart the machine during the process because it had locked up.. Oops ok.
Right.. Snow leopard time. I'm now in the process of using the snow leopard disk which fortunately it seems can restore to lion backups after a somewhat drawn out process of self inflicted errors and somewhat obscured measures in lion (ambiguity of boot up modes, no failsafes in restore process).
Whilst I believe anti virus is a good measure in light of recent events, a word to the wise. Check compatibility first :).A word to the wise, when you find something that is incompatible, inform the developer of the said software so they can issue a word of warning on their own website. Edit: Also a good developer can do an operating system check to see if their software is compatible upon installation, and warn the user not to install.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?
DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now? -
Can anyone tell me how to actually go about finding, downloading & being able to read a book on I-pad. Am a total novice. Have downloaded 'Kobo' but none the wiser?!
Download the iBooks app and go to the Store after lauching that. Come back and ask again if you are having problems.
You can worry about Kobo at some later point, it has nothing to do with Apple and you should seek help at the site of the people who make it. -

Regarding your suggestion to try the free LibreOffice, at the moment I don't need this, because I have downloaded a one-month trial Japanese Microsoft Office 2011 and can open my current files with that, although I do not want to revise any of my files until either this problem is solved, or I purchase a new MS Office.
Unfortunately there is not many MS Office software in English available here in Japan. I spoke to Microsoft Japan and even though they sell software, they do not sell any English verions of MS Office. Incredible, considering that the company itself is located in the US. They suggested I buy it from Amazon Japan, however Amazon do not have any available at this time and do not know if they will in the future.
Anyway, I have found a company which sells the downloaded English version (no disk). The software is Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011. I have not purchased it yet. It would take too long and the postage charges would be too high to purchase it from the US.
Hoping you have some good ideas.
Best regards,

How to set tabstops in MS Word using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit
Using the Report Generation Toolkit of LabVIEW, I need to set multiple tabstops that very in distance in MS Word. I also have different sets of tabstops that I use and re-use at different times in the same report. Is there a way to set the tabstops under program control? I searched through the various VIs and found that there is a property ("Tabstops", "Word.Tabstops") in the _ParagraphFormat property node that refers to tabstops. I found it in the Word Format Paragraph (adv) VI. Unfortunately, I could not determine how to use it. Any suggestions? Is this an operational element?
Bluebell,
Sounds like you've already done some fantastic work to expose the various properties and methods of MS Word. It took me about 20 min before I could find the specific property that you were talking about! I found it under Word.Document>>Paragraphs>>Tabstops>>Add. There is a position, alignment and leader parameter that you can set from this property node. I've found that the best way to discover what these parameters do is to simply experiment. You could also try using the macro recorder in Word, perform the specific task, and then look at the code generated. I'm guessing that position sets the position of the tabstop itself. It sounds like your application is really specific. For such a specific task, I think I'd write a macro and call that macro from LabVIEW.

I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.
In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it. Update after closing Firefox.
I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud, is that possible from LR5 to LR6? Thanks so much.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

Anyone finding it more difficult to type words on the iPhone4 vs iphone3?
We've recently migrate about ten folks from the iPhone3 to the iPhone4.
Getting feedback that it is more difficult to accurately type words on the iPhone4 than what was experienced on the iPhone3. Some of the direct comments are listed below. Is anyone seeing the same issues?
"It's way harder to type correctly on this new phone? I'm having a terrible time getting words spelled right. I have to slow way down to even come close."
"Truthfully, I type three word and look at my screen and it's three wrong words with no spaces between them. If i slow down, stare at the screen and type with deliberately, like when I first got an iphone a couple years ago, I can get it write, mostly. If I type anywhere near normal, like I did on my last phone, it's just a jumble of letters."Yes, and I think I know what the problem is. The iPhone 4's touch screen is more sensitive than the previous models. The 3Gs' touch detection was spot-on IMHO. The i4 is more sensitive and to confirm this yourself just slowly get closer and closer to screen over button and you will notice that it will register a click and/or touch before your finger makes contact. I am not 100% positive but this could be adding to the Proximity Sensor woes as well. Maybe not causing it but definitely making it worse. I hope Apple can turn down/tune the capacitance touch screen a bit along with the prox-sensor fix in next release.

The spell checker identifies incorrect spelled words, however when I right click or control click the word the spell checker only highlights in yellow the first word in the email and gives a dialog with the spelling and definition even though that word already correctly spelled. This is version 33.1 on my mac desktop running 10.10. Spell checking works properly if I use Safari.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart. -
How to remove a word from the dictionary?
In the dictionary there are some words that aren't spelled correctly. I like to remove those words. Btw those words are not added by myself, but are already in the dictionary when I installed Firefox.
I'm using Firefox 6.0.1 (dutch version) and Windows XP.
The words I'm talking about are 'bakcupsysteem' and 'backcupsysteem'. The correct word has to be 'backupsysteem' which I've added already to the file persdict.dat.What editor can I use for editing that file? Although I don't think I will edit that file because I see a lot of english words in that dutch(!) dictionary... I mean what is a word like "cupboard" doing in that file... And what will happen with the dictionary when I update Firefox?
Thanks for your help. I think I just have to stick with incorrect spelled words and I just have to add the correct word(s).
