Workaround good/bad practice or does it not matter...??
Hi,
I have a project that requires other shared actions to hide./show something and was wanting a quick workaround for Hide 1 show 9 so I did as follows..(bear in mind I am using CP7 not 8)
I copied my hide1 show 20 slide from another project, which retains the connection between buttons and images etc, but as this was too many for my other project, I just set things on the copied slide not to displlay in output etc adn then renamed the ones I wan to refer to in the new project adn it all works great, however, if wer are doing this is this bad practice as any other CP editor further down the track, needs to edit the project, might think that this is a mess and mish mash with ttoo many objects (although hidden) on the slide and maybe make it more difficult for them.
My initial thinking on that is while it may look a bit of a mess, My approach to any exising project is to deconstruct it to see exactly what is going on, but some otheres might just look at it as a real pain. (I did it this way as I could not edit a shared action in CP7)
So, I was just wantig to pose this question to the community and get any feedback on your thoughts about this approach...? (I hope I have explained this correctly and is understandable etc)
Cheers

Hi Lilybiri,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I would be interested in your workflow for editing shared actions.
Hopefully this will be clearer for my explanation of how I initially thought of for editing my shared action...please let me know if this is still not clear.
I had a Show 1 Hide 20 shared action, using smartshapes as buttons and aside from checkmarks (Ticks) and other images etc.
I needed to create another similar advanced/shared action, but did not have the time to do so, I needed to just change the existing shared action.
To do this, I copied the shared action to another project and tried to think of a way I can edit this just by changing the items on the slide. So I tested it out, by selecting a number of images/buttons and making the ones I did not need, to not be buttons and to not show in output, then just renaming the ones I wanted to show etc...
And it worked well, so I was happy with that outcome. It may have taken me a while to figure it out initially, but now I know it can be done :-)
The only negative that some of my colleagues have said, are as follows,with my response back to them.
Issue: The slide will be a mess as all those items/images are still on it. My response:You can hide the items not used so the slide will not look messy to another CP editor.
Issue: the images etc will make the file too big and unwieldy My Response: remove the images not needed and the file size will not be a problem.
Issue: File will be messy for another CP editor to change and take un-necessary time. My Response: Anyone who is a CP user, will/should know how to deconstruct and edit an existing file.
I hope that makes it clearer :-)
Cheers
Rossco

when you double click the circle buttom, and the little bar pops up from what you have been using... is it using data while being in there? is it a good idea to minimize evertthing out of there often so its not using more data ? or does it not matter?
thanks!Not sure if it uses data, but that allows you to multitask. To save battery life you should close out of all the apps.

Does DVI Cable quality make a noticeable difference or does it not matter?
Does DVI Cable quality make a noticeable difference or does it not matter?
When you buy a monitor at a place like TigerDirect, they come with a thinner cable, but you purchase one for $21. Is it worth it?Check out http://www.monoprice.com they have great cables for cheap.
To answer your question the cables are usually rated for the amount of bandwidth they can transfer and at what speed. At lower resolutions you don't need much bandwidth but to transfer 1080p you would need a cable capable of handling that. Most cables can handle that.
But with the thinner cables it can affect the quality of the image. Just be sure to calibrate your monitor. Good luck! -
Is the iPod Touch the Apple Genius Bar workers given me a UK iPod Touch or does it not matter?
My family purchased an iPod Touch 4 from the USA from Best Buy and we came back to the UK and a week later we took it to Apple to check the battery fault and they gave us another iPod Touch which I think is a refurbished one. Anyways my question is that is the refurbished iPod Touch a UK iPod or a USA or does it not matter. Also is it safe to charge it through the wall with the iPhone USB apart or or would I need to plug it in the computer? Thanks and if it is confusing break down the question and answer it step by step because I asked a few there. Thanks.
Since there is no reason for a UK store to have Amercian market iPods, I think it's likely that you now have an iPod as sold in the UK, that is, an EU (European Union) iPod. (I may be wrong, but that's my guess.)
iPods sold within the EU have a Volume Limit on them that is not on non-EU iPods. EU iPods therefore have a slightly lower maximum volume than other markets. You could compensate for this by using a headphones amplifier if you prefer, but be careful not to damage your hearing by having it too loud!
iPods charge using 5 volts (from the USB outlet). So in the USA, the 110volts power outlet is changed to 5 volts from the USB outlet. In the UK, the 220 volts mains voltage is changed to 5 volts from the USB - the same 5 volts out. So yes, you can use a USB output from a wall-outlet charger. -
Public synonyms- when it is good/bad practice
When would you say that public synonyms that (reference tables) are a good things, recommended things?
I understand that mostly public synonyms are like triggers that should be avoided. Because they create possibility of confusion that one is not sure what is he referencing, if there is in two schemas table with same name, and code is written without schema prefix to reference those tables.
I understand that if lot of code have written without schema prefix and now a table is planned to move to other schema, then it is perhaps good to create the public synonym so that code that was referencing without schema prefix a table can work successfully still.
Can you explain generally when you would use public synonyms, in which situations?Yes you are right.
The public synonyms can confuse us sometimes. the creation of public synonyms are useful when you are using the DBlinks from one database to another to read or write records. Because specifying the DBlink name at every time is not possible we may forget to use it as @dblink; at quries.
In this case it is useful.
While refreshing schemas to another database you have to take care these public synonyms to be created in new database also.

Start writing your LOX for the lates and collections. Make sure they have all your documents within the first week. The monthly payment for a 100 year old house is too high. I think you all should wait to get your score up for a better rate. 5% for the amount you're borrowing is too high compared to the average APR being 4.04% now. Ar you planning to live in the home forever? May be hard to sell a home that is 100 years old unless you do some extensive remodeling. -

I need to use sigma plot in my Mac, does any one has a good advise for alternatives. If not, will it be ok to install windows in my mac?
See if Deltagraph is still around. We used to use that for plotting scientific data on Macs. I don't know if it is at all transferrable with Sigmaplot if you have a colleague who uses it, but if you're doing this on your own I would look at getting DG vs, doing a dual boot etc.

That would be the best way to do it while still using a table layout which in and of itself is not recommended, in large part for this very reason.
Every time you want to make a small change to the layout of your site, it will require re-slicing and re-generating code out of PS. You would be much better off taking the time to understand css layouts. Here is a good place to start to get the basics of css: http://www.w3schools.com/css -
DOES IT WORK OR DOES IT NOT WORK? X-FI with VIS
For crying out loud! Nothing but question after question. Could you people at least CHIME in with a NO or a YES as to whether or not you have the X-FI working with Vista OK Also, what level of functionality do you have and with what driver Come on. It's bad enough Creative won't provide any support but at WE can discuss. I've never seen a more useless forum filled with more questions and NO ANSWERS!:angry:
mcegoon wrote:
They mostly work. If you'd bother to read a page or two of threads you'd have a pretty good idea of what all the issues are.
LOL! Does Creative pay you to make these super NON informati've UN useful personal attack postings ! "Mostly work" WTF does that mean In case you had NOT noticed, the questions I've been asking along with countless others has been pretty SIMPLE.
A) How do you get the blinkin' X-fi to even work with Vista (I THINK I've finally figured that out. You have to use the BETA drivers from a CLEAN system)
B) How do you get SPDIF working with AC3Filter Still NO clear answer on that. AC3Filter says it is passing DTS through but my receiver does NOT receive and decode the signal as it always did with on board sound.
In the meantime, knock it off with the BS posts. They only make you look incredibly ignorant. If you are going to come out and make some feeble attempt at attacking someone then back it up with some real ANSWERS.
It mostly works means just that. Most, not all features work. Some that do work don't work as well as they did under XP. I'm not going to spoon feed you about which features do work and to what exact degree. You'll have to put that list together yourself. Reading a couple pages of threads will give you a good start.
If no one answers your questions it means you are the only one having the problem that is on the board today. Maybe tomorrow as well. Seems pretty obvious really. Or the other guy that once had it has moved on by fixing it, or perhaps he decided to just live with it, or maybe he just replaced the card with a functional one. Unless he comes back and tells us we'll never really know.
Perhaps your off-putting attitude has made anyone else that does know not care enough to help you. -
Consider the follwing two classes:
public class Widget
public class CustomWidget extends Widget
}Now consider another class that has a Widget class member:
public class OrdinaryClass
private Widget w = new Widget();
public Widget getTheWidget()
return w;
}Now suppose I were to subclass OrdinaryClass as follows:
public class SpecialClass extends OrdinaryClass
private CustomWidget cw = new CustomWidget();
public CustomWidget getTheWidget() // violate LSP?
return cw;
}My questions are:
1) does SpecialClass violate Liskov's Principle in that the getWidget return type has changed?
2) if it's not in violation, is it bad practice anyway? Or is this some polymorphic trick that is not only acceptable, but very useful (and encouraged)?
Please advise.A custom model was subclassd from AbstractListModel.
One of the getter methods from ALM has a return of
f type Object. The custom model used the same
getter, but returned the toString() of the Object (a
property) instead of the Object in its entirety.Given this specific class hierarchy, you're into territory for design lawyers. A list mode maintains data that's used by a JList[i/]. The contract, as a result, is fairly open, and you could define the model as maintaining string representations for an object. The purists would respond with "no, the view should decide the representation," and I'd probably agree with them.
By comparison, the contract for a [i]java.util.List is much more explicit: you put objects into the list, and you get the same objects out. If your colleague was creating a List implementation that returned toString() of an object rather than the object itself, then your argument would have much more force.
It seems as if changing the return type of a method
in a subclass seems wrong, even if the new return
type is a sub of the original return type.
I have nothing against returning the subclass, mind
you. Just keep the contract (i.e, the return type)
the same.However, the "contract" is not defined just by method signature. If that were the case, then this would be a perfectly valid implementation of List.get():
public Object get(index i)
return new Integer(i);
}Instead, the "contract" is defined by the class as a whole, and furthermore is defined by your application for each instance of a class that it creates (eg, "this List is used to pass strings between these two methods"). -
Best practice when doing large cascading updates
Hello all
I am looking for some help with tackling a fairly large cascading update.
I have an object tree that needs to be merged using JPA and Toplink.
Each update consists of 5-10000 objects with a decent depth as well.
Can anyone give me some pointers/hints towards a Best practice for doing this? Looping though each object with JPA's merge takes minutes to complete, so i would rather not do that.
I have never actually used TopLinks own API before, so i am especially interested if TopLink has an effective way of handling this, preferably with a link to some related reading material?
Note that i have a somewhat duplicate question on (Noting for good forum practice)
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14235577/how-to-execute-a-cascading-jpa-toplink-batch-updateNot certain what you think you can't do. Take a long clip and open it in the Viewer. Set In and Out points. Drop that into the Timeline. Now you can move along in the Viewer clip and set new Ins and Outs and drop that into the Timeline. Clips in the Timeline are created from the Ins and Outs you set in the Viewer.
Is that what you want to do? If it is, I don't where making copies of the clip would work for you
Later, if you want to match up a clip in the Timeline to that master clip, just use Match Clip (find) in the timeline to find where it correaltes to your main clip
You can have FCE automatically create subclips at camera cut points by using DV Stop/Start Detect if that is what you're looking for -
Multi-functional Servlet considered bad practice?
Hi,
is it considered bad practice using doGet() for fetching say a blog entry and using doPost() for saving new entries or comments?
Such as:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
blog.getPost(id);
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
Post post = new Post(title, msg, category, author);
blog.save(post);
}I like to think that this is the reasoning or at least part of the reason why doGet and doPost are separate methods.
Thank you.
Regards,

In a small hobby application you can do so. In real business I wouldn't do so, it might bite in the future if you plan to extend that servlet with more logic.
I like to think that this is the reasoning or at least part of the reason why doGet and doPost are separate methods.No, it is not. The HTTP protocol specification (1) offers several request methods, GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, etc. The HttpServlet API (2) offers overrideable methods for each of those request methods so that you can handle it using some Java logic. A "plain vanilla" request is always GET. A form submit can be either GET or POST -generally POST is preferred as it can transfer more data and does "hide" query parameters.

Is it bad practice to capture an image that was deployed from mdt after adjustment?
is it bad practice to capture an image that was deployed from mdt after adjustment?
or there is no any consequences?
"When you hit a wrong note it's the next note that makes it good or bad". Miles DavisDuring years I never captured the image deployed from mdt.
Today was a rush.
The request:
to install time consuming configuration application into the image.
I restored acronis image that used during couple of weeks for captures after small changes.
And decided to capture it again before the installation of local progam and final capture.
It failed after multiple trials. I posted the error yesterday here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/a702bf17-8375-4bc7-b458-8ce4894f99e9/error-2147467259-during-capture?forum=mdt
As a last tip before suggesting to deploy existing image and sysprep it 20 times I deployed the image from MDT applied just Windows KBs and captured again with MDT it worked without any prob.
So against my usual habit I gave a deployd image for installing the tricky software and then will capture it for future deployment for 20 "special" computers. Feel not so good. But like you told:
"Will it hurt anything? Probably not" I took a chance. In the image no AV, just small things like 7Z and Adobe.
Encourage me for this case :)
Thanks.
