Words/Phrases That Throw Up Red Flags for You

I was working on an issue in the PrPro Forum (this THREAD), and the word "hacked" came up. I assume that the user had flashed his firmware in his camera to attain some feature, that it was not originally intended to have. This got me to thinking about terms that throw up red flags, or just make you uncomfortable. In my case, the word "hack" has all sorts of very negative connotations. That does show my age, and probably a bit of my mind-set. I began to reflect on other such terms and came up with a few:
Hacked
Matrox
Dazzle
Memorex
MKV
DivX/Xvid
ACC Audio
MP3
Warez
Keygen
"I'm a poor student and can't really afford PrPro... "
"Borrowed from a friend... "
"The dog ate my media and my S/N, and can you FTP me the... " (Hey, I have Bulldogs, so if any canine would eat something, it would be a Bulldog - never had this issue)
CODEC pack
FFDShow
Partitions
SSD (but that is easing up a lot, and will probably disappear from the list in a generation, or two)
Pentium D
1GB RAM
Intel embedded graphics chip
"I don't care what Harm says... "
SLI/Crossfire
"1 HDD with 5GB free... "
I'll even start Jim Simon's list, just to save him some typing:
Commas,,,,,,
Elemental streams
"Point and shoot camera"
HDD camera
iPhone
Flip camera
Cellphone camera
Lipstick camera
Rod's Snake-cam
"I only have a BA in video production, and did not finish my Masters... "
Divx/Xvid - as above
Apple_____ (really anything in the blank)
For Rod:
Package from Hunt
Scary snakes
"4K RED footage in CS3 with 4GB RAM... "
"Gooseneck mic stand... "
"Duck tape... "
And for Dave:
What throws up the red flags for you?
Blizzard warning!
Hunt

Great list so far! Here are my additions...
"We need to use every available resource"
"Not enough money"
"My budget is blown for this year" (which doesn't end until June 30th!)
"Hey y'all, watch this!" (Typical Redneck line, usually shouted just before the friends call for the coroner...)
"City units, stand by for tones" (what they say over the radio before they drop tones telling us we have a fire somewhere here in town)
"AVCHD"
"David, can you teach my class?"
"Our iMac's are having trouble"
"Can you rip this DVD and re-edit it and then put it on Vimeo in HD?"
"overdraft"
I'm sure I can come up with more, but my brain's a bit fried right now from starting at 7:30 this morning...

  • Read payload for error messages and throw a red flag in SXMB_MONI

    Hello All,
    I am calling a synchronous web service from PI ccBPM and getting a response back to PI ccBPM itself.
    So the steps in BPM are receive(from CRM), sync step (to call web service) and a control step (to end the BPM process).
    The requirement is to check if error_list node in the response from web service call has a value in it and throw an error in SXMB_MONI so that they can easily identify how many messages errored out  out of thousands of messages.
    This is the response structure for web service if there are errors.
    <manageResponse>
      <result>
                    <ErrorList>
                        <object>
                            <hyatt>partnerupdate--NR</hyattt>
                            <Message />
                            <Operation>jukio</Operation>
                            <User>atuser</User>
                        </object>
                     </ErrorList>
    </result>
    </manageResponse>
    Again I only need to see if error_list is not empty and throw a red flag error in SXMB_MONI.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi Mich,
      In Response map when Error segment appear's fail the maping so that you can see the list of message in MONI. and do not need to put any conditions in MONI.
    I mean in your Respoinse when ERROR_LIST segment coman under that one manatory field you select and take that field length say 20 characters.
    source field->Substring (0,100) get the 100 characters from source in that case case from source it won't get 100 characters mapping will fail so that you can see the Error messages in SXMB_MONI.
      Finally what I am saying do the wrong condition mapping in the response mapping so that mapping will fail.
    Regards,
    Venu.

  • The Samsung Galaxy S6 might not be water resistant - would that be a deal breaker for you?

    Last month, we heard that the upcoming Galaxy S6 would not be water resistant, thus missing one of the important features of Samsung's former flagship S5.
    The Samsung Galaxy S6 might not be water resistant - would that be a deal breaker for you?

    Hello datgeekgirl, 
    I hope that you are enjoying your Samsung Galaxy S6! It is discouraging to hear that the ordering and pickup process may not have been as smooth as expected, as it seems you may have charges on your account for a two year agreement when you selected the Sprint EasyPay option. I am sorry if this experience may lead to your returning the phone.

  • Solution Manager - EarlyWatch Alert shows red flag for managed system.

    Hi Guys,
    I tried to fix EarlyWatch alert report for Managed systems of QA and Dev which showed red flag on SolMan in DSWP. While trying to generate BACK RFC Destination to SolMan for QA and Dev, it messed up the EarlyWatch alert reports of Prod which was successfully working upto this point. And now the red flag appears for Prod system on SolMan in DSWP instead of two bottle sign.
    As for why Dev and QA did not work, I found out it was NONE internal RFC popped whenever I tried to choose the RFC to connect to SolMan while Prod which was working fine before always showed BACK rfc. That's why I tried to fix BACK rfc for Dev and QA.
    Please help me to fix these EWA problems.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a app for filling in a word document that I have been emailed for a application form ?

    II've received a word document through email that I need to fill in but obviously not able to do it on my iPad is there a app that will let me do this and email it back to them completed ? Haven't got a laptop handy so need to do it on iPad . Thanks in advance.

    You might not be doing anything wrong. I tried to download the application to see if I could fill it in using Pages, but I can't download it. I can email the link and when I open it, it simply takes me back to the website where the document resides in the scribd.com website. If you can place X's in some of the boxes, I would have to believe that the document can be edited but that's not necessarily so. If you open the file in Word, and you can't type text in the places where you think that you should be able to, I'm thinking that something is wrong with the file.
    Just so that I know we are talking about the same document, you are in the UK, correct? And this is a job application? If both are correct, did you request this to be emailed to you from the company?

  • Is it possible to change PO item that is flagged for Deletion or Blocked ?

    other than to unflag the item.
    What I'm trying to determine is:  if the deletion flag is set or an item is blocked, is it correct to say that the date last changed (EKPO-AEDAT) is the date that the item was flagged for deletion or blocked ?  (I'm assuming only manual setting of the indicators and not update via a program method).
    Is there any way to effect EKPO-AEDAT after an item is flagged for deletion or blocked, without unflagging/unblocking ?
    (ECC 5.0 system)

    Hi,
    Once the PO line item is deleted, no changes other than reseting the delition indicator can be done. So EKPO-AEDAT will not be affected if a PO line item is deleted.

  • Outbound process red flag - how to restart?!

    Hi, well i tried in a previous post to get help but i guess it was a little misunderstanding.
    I have a well processed message but it's not being send to target system, so i get a red flag on column outbound status in SXI_MONI. It's like a system is not available but in this case it is.
    It is File to IDoc Scenario and be sure that i already checked SM59, SX1, SX2 and so on.
    Funny thing is that sometimes message is send properly - when CC read one file - but when it has to read >1 outbound status will be set to error for each message!
    has somebody any clue on this issue?!
    br!!

    Hi,
    it's a FILE2IDoc Scenario i am getting no error at all except of the red flag for outbound process. In detal-view of the message nothing is reported an even the CC-Monitoring is showing nothing because IDoc-Adapter is not part of the Adapter-Engine.
    That's the problem! Because a target systems is connected via VPN to the gateway of the XI. And when the VPN is not active, the message is not being transmitted. But in XI i connat restart it when VPN-Tunnel is active again.
    Any clue on how to restart?!

  • Info records flagged for deletion don't update purchase orders

    Hi, I would like to know how I can customize SAP-MM in order to avoid that the info records flagged for deletion update the purchase orders.
    When I create a PO from a Purchase requisition (which have data with texts like "Vendor material number"), the Info record flagged for deletion update this data.
    Thank you

    Hello
    I think inforecords flagged for deletion is not being considered for PO updation. Could you please check again.
    It might be posible that 'Vendor material number' is spcified in Purchase requisition and when you create PO from Purchase requisition, it is copied from there to PO.
    I hope it will resolve your issue.
    Best regards

  • How to mark flag for deletion for bulk of customers.

    Hi friends,
      GM..
    I hv a question , that how to mark flag for deletion for bulk of customers.Few function modules are there (eg. HRCA_CUSTOMER_DELETE ) which are going to 'XD06' transaction to set the flag for individual customers.
    But data is huge so it's not possible to go & mark the flag for deletion for  individual customers.So what is the solution for this.....
      waiting for ur reply....
    Thanx.
    Regards,
    Ajit.

    Hi Ajit,
      XD99 can be used as a appropriate mass deletion tool for customers .
    It is good for max 500 customers to mark for deletion, if you have more than that some times you may get dump.
    OR
    You can write a program to read an excel file into an internal table and call the function BUP_BUPA_MASS_DELETE to delete the customers.
    OR
    To mark the BP's for Delete use the following code sample.
    It marks the BP's for Delete and once you archive them delete them in bulk.
    data : BUPANUM type BU_PARTNER,
    RETMSG type ITMSG,
    ls_central type BAPIBUS1006_CENTRAL,
    ls_Central_X type BAPIBUS1006_CENTRAL_X.
    ls_central-CENTRALARCHIVINGFLAG = 'X'.
    ls_central-CENTRALBLOCK = 'X' .
    move-corresponding ls_Central to ls_Central_X.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
    BUSINESSPARTNER = BUPANUM
    CENTRALDATA = ls_Central
    CENTRALDATA_X = ls_Central_X
    TABLES
    RETURN = RETMSG.
    if you give me brief i can help you out more.
    Thank you .

  • First 6 weeks with Mac Pro - Bunch of questions for you

    I'm a new Mac convert and now after having my 1st Mac for about 6 weeks I've developed a list of questions I'd love to have some help with.
    1) How can I "minimize all" like in a PC
    2) Some programs seem to require an admin status to install. Can I do this without logging into a separate admin account? Some will ask for a name and password, but some just won't install correctly. Can I "run as admin" somehow from the start without logging out or user switching first?
    3) If I'm running a fullscreen app (i.e. game such as Age of Empires) is there a way to get to the desktop without quitting the game?
    4) Is there a quick shortcut way to get to the downloads window?
    5) Can I change my mail so that there is a delay before a message is marked "read" - right now even scrolling past it marks it read.
    6) Can I auto log in to a network drive? I have a NAS that i use for backup storage and want it available evertime I start my computer
    7) How do I control what app opens a type of file - for example for a long time until I installed the full adobe PDF program all PDF files were opening in safari and I couldn't adjust the view
    8) I have a hot swap / Firewire drive. For some reason it won't show up unless I physically unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there an "update" that will update all drives and scan for connected drives?
    I appreciate any help with these questions - love my Mac and getting great work from Aperture. Have a project with Final Cut express coming up which will be my first movie project on the Mac - used Sony Vegas on the Pc in the past.

    1) How can I "minimize all" like in a PC
    There are several options
    a-Use Expose ( F9, F10, F11 & F12 keys)
    b-with the program whose windows you want to minimise active, while holding the option key, click the yellow window widget. All open windows in that program will minimise to the dock.
    c-while holding the option key, click on a running programs icon in the dock and choose "hide others" from the popup menu. This will hide all running programs except the one your working on.
    2) Some programs seem to require an admin status to install.
    You should be able to enter your admin name & password to install anything. This will affect where some things are installed sometimes, so you can also consider turning on fast user switching, so you have quick access to each account. If all that is not doing it for you ...
    You can go to the accounts panel in System Preferences and set the admin account to auto-log in, or to log into the admin account and wait for you to enter the password. If you wanted to run as admin full time, you would do better to change your user account to an admin account and then delete the original admin account. No need for two admin accounts. While it is good practice to run and admin and a user account, the vast majority of Mac users run as admin.
    3) If I'm running a fullscreen app (i.e. game such as Age of Empires) is there a way to get to the desktop without quitting the game?
    Command-H will hide most running programs. Clicking on the programs icon in the dock will restore the full screen window.
    4) Is there a quick shortcut way to get to the downloads window?
    I like to keep a copy of the download manager in the Finder sidebar. You can get to the download manager from any Finder window, plus you can drag & drop URL's onto the icon to download files.
    With the Finder active, press Shift-Command-G, which will open the "Go to Folder" window. Download manager is in /System/Library/CoreServices, so type /System/Library/CoreServices and hit the "go" button, At the bottom of the list, is an application called Verified Download Manager. Drag it to the sidebar of the open Finder window, placing it in the section below the iDisk/Network/HD.
    Be careful not to move the actual program, you just want a link to it in the sidebar.
    5) Can I change my mail so that there is a delay before a message is marked "read" - right now even scrolling past it marks it read.
    Not that I've found. You might want to visit http://www.hawkwings.net/ where you'll find a lot of Mail.app tips
    6) Can I auto log in to a network drive? I have a NAS that i use for backup storage and want it available evertime I start my computer
    You can, several complicated ways come to mind ... I'm going to skip over them as they probably won't work with a PC type NAS anyway. What you could do, is to mount or connect to your NAS, so it is visible in the Finder, then, open the Accounts panel in System Preferences and click on the login items tab. Click the + button to add an item and the navigate/select your NAS.
    This will mount your NAS at Startup, but could cause really slow startups and all kinds of other problems if you're using a laptop, or otherwise unable to connect to the NAS at startup/login. If the NAS is always available, this should work fine.
    7) How do I control what app opens a type of file - for example for a long time until I installed the full adobe PDF program all PDF files were opening in safari and I couldn't adjust the view
    Select/Click-on (highlight in the finder) any file that you want to modify, and then press Command-I
    This will open a get info window for the file, where you can choose "Open with..." to select what application to open this file with, then, just below, notice the "Change All" button, which, when clicked, will change every file type like the selection to work with the chosen app in the future.
    You really should consider using Preview fro PDF's unless you need Acrobat advanded features - it's nicer/faster etc.
    8) I have a hot swap / Firewire drive. For some reason it won't show up unless I physically unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there an "update" that will update all drives and scan for connected drives?
    Best way to deal with this is to make an alias (aka shortcut). While the drive is mounted, highlight it in the Finder and press Command-L
    You can also add it (or the alias) to the sidebar, just like the download manager.
    Both options let you click to mount the drive, which is handy to allow you to unmount it when you don't need it.

  • 10.1.3.1 - Wrong syntax red flag does not appear for undefined variables

    I installed 10.1.3.1 and I noticed something strange.
    In 10.1.3.0 a very nice feature was the indication, with a red flag, of wrong instructions.
    Now, when a variable is not defined, the red flag doesn't appear and I see the error only at compile time.
    Did I miss something during conversion ?
    Is it a bug ?
    Tks
    Tullio

    I was getting this problem, and diagnosed and fixed the issue in my case. This was after checking the audit preferences and finding they were correct.
    The problem was that I had migrated from an installation of 10.1.3.0 that had developed the problem described in Jdev plugins cause StackOverflow exception on startup of 10.1.3 .
    JDev 10.1.3.1 doesn't display the exception on startup, but it seems still to mess up the way it reads your preferences--quite significantly. That seems to have worked for me.
    If others have this problem and migrated under similar circumstances, try the solution suggested on that thread (removing just the <Item> tags that mention scm, not all of them, which causes even worse problems).

  • Search for word/phrase by ctrl+shift+F

    ctrl+shift+F
    One can enter here  the file/folder path the search for word/phrase should be made.
    But length of this control element is really limited.
    If the chosen path is very long, with lot of folder levels, longer than the control element is capable to show it,
    the path string is truncated. Truncation in its middle part.
    Nobody is able to see how exactly the path is, after it has been shortened.
    And now, please imagine that there are several similar paths on the disc.
    They differ by theirs middle section only.
    Now assume the search needs 3 hours.
    1. After 3 hours of search run user can't say which folder of all similar folders he has chosen for last search operation.
    After search completes user is no able to check, which path the search ran in.
    2. If new search in some other folder but in a folder located close to the previous one is aimed  the user
    has to follow the whole path from the disc root - job intensive task.
    Adobe Reader should use the previous search path as start point of new search path selection.
    The full-feature product Adobe Acrobat probably also affected.

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.
