Working with .less blah, blah ##!@ blah

Is there ary good tutorials for working with Less? Is it actually worth it at the moment? Should I wait 6 months or a year?
To use less you use a compiler, you use node, then you have to install node then you need to know how to use that and its command lines, then you have to make source maps but then you can't debug, CRAP, CRAP and blah blah.
Not another dam framework/complier or what ever it is called.
This web stuff is getting too complex, too frustrating, toooooo many dam frameworks all working with toooo many dam frameworks. I cannot learn everything. Rant over
Should I just stick with css for the time being?
Thanks

CSS is enough by itself for me. My stylesheets are generally simple enough that I wouldn't actually
see much of benefit to switching over.
That may change in the future, so I've started fiddling around with LESS, but I'm nowhere near using it on a live site.

How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?

Just found in legacy code the following:
private var firstRect:Rectangle;
private var secondRect:Rectangle;
if (firstRect < secondRect)
// do something
How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?
Doc says that object is converted to number if it is not a String.
Rectangle is not a String, though has conversion to String.
Please help.

IME the best way to know for sure is to experiment. The docs are only one person's best understanding of how things worked on the day, which is seldom 100% accurate. I find that even with code I wrote I can't accurately say 100% of what it does until I've worked with it for a while. Keep in mind that the docs are usually written when the code is written, so never expect more than a rough idea from the docs.

How to save the format at less time while working with a larger format that is over 5 GBs?

I am working on a 3' x 10' banner with 300dpi in Photoshop and it takes all of my time to do the extra tools to do, and it takes 10 minutes to save it or more. I have powerbook and CS6 on me. I put the highest memory in Photoshop preference. So I am bearing to work with it for hours for one small assigment, but why does it takes so long? is there a better way to do to save time and speed to make the poster banner to look greater than life? even in 200 dpi? What are your answer to my solution? I would be appreciated it. Thank you

IsValid does not work with extended email address

This invalidates valid addresses.

> blah blah <[email protected]> is a predictable format.
You can use string functions to find the part between the angle
brackets and apply the isValid function to that.
Yep, but isValid() just doesn't reliably validate even the
email address
part of that string (well: that *exact* example, sure it
will). It can't
be used to RELIABLY validate email addresses. The regex it
uses is
incomplete. It'll validate a lot of valid email addresses,
but it'll also
reject a number of valid patterns, and validate some that are
wrong.

Working with MySQL Remotely

Does anyone on this list work with MySQL using a remote
database, rather
than a local database? If so, what are the
advantages/disadvantages? I
can't establish a database connection locally, so I'm
thinking of
working with MySQL remotely instead.
I think I've figured out how to write a connection to my
online database...
$link = mysql_connect ("67.61.172.163" , "USERNAME" ,
"PASSWORD") or
die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("DATABASE", $link) or die(mysql_error());
...where 67.61.172.163 represents my IP address (though it's
really
something different :) ).
But I get this error message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Host
'[blah, blah,
blah].wa.WHATEVER.net' is not allowed to connect to this
MySQL server in
/Users/MyName/Sites/Geobop/a1/dbc.php on line 10
Host '[blah, blah, blah].wa.WHATEVER.net' is not allowed to
connect to
this MySQL server
Is there a way to fix this, so I can connect remotely?

"Host '[blah, blah, blah].wa.WHATEVER.net' is not allowed to

that error message lays it out fairly plainly.
Knock Knock. Reply from server: What's your name and business
and where are
you coming from. Blah Blah from Blah. Reply: not taking door

Most LAMP Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP hosting only allows
localhost connections
to MySQL. It's pointless to try what you want to do if that's
what the
hosting is. Your only option is to conform or to rent a box
and config it to
what you think it should work like.
If you want to directly connect to the remote db using some
app on your
local machine, or from what it looks like, your local server
using the
remote db, find one that allows it. The few that will will
show the sign

I can not get 3D surround sound to work with my X-Fi and headhones please he

I have an X-Fi Xtrememusic soundcard and I have been unable to get possitional sound working consistantly with two sets of stereo headphones. I have the latest drivers installed and have creative audio console set to: headphones, game mode, CMSS 3D and I still have no possitional sound at all. Noises seem to come from above my head I can't tell right from left or forward from backward in other words I am completely lost as to were sounds are coming from in games. I used to be able to get possistional sound to function by changing headphones in the creative audio console to 2. or 4. speakers.
If I set the mode to 5. or higher the sounds in games (footsteps, weapons fire) would become heavily muted and hard to hear while I would gain better positional sound for other players and now this does not work at all. I have also tried disabling sync to windows control panel and changing its sound options and there have been no beneifts from doing so. In settings other then stereo headphones no sound was produced at all while others stopped sound coming from one of my headphone speakers. I am at a total loss I can not think of anything thing else to fiddle with.
My system specs: Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego, ASUS A8N-E mobo, 2GB DDR400 2.5CAS Buffalo ram, EVGA 7800GT CO, X-Fi Xtrememusic. No popping or crackling sound at least. Thank you you reading this.

Hay everyone thanks for the advise but i was finally told by one of the support personnel that I actually need the dri've bay insert that comes with the fidelity in order to get the cmss 3d to work with the headphones.
I only purchased the extreme gamer not the extreme gamer fidelity and that is why i cant get the cmss 3d to work but it still advertises on the box that you can use the cmss 3d and get that feature. :angry:? Should have done homework but i was out Christmas shopping and i went off of what the box advertised. This is very unusual for me to shop compulsi'vely. The funny thing is that everything else on the box that is advertised such as the increase of the CPU and the EAX HD features are able to be used. Im very upset about this because I particularly bought this card for the cmss 3d. I really don't know if i will ever recommend another Creative Product to any of the people i do computer repair or gamer builds for, unless this gets resolved and the only way to resolve this is to get the cmss 3D to work. By the way I did do a full reinstall even with clean boot so that isn't the problem. I'm really upset and ready to return this product to Best Buy unless this can be resolved. Any admin that comes across this please send me any ways of getting a hold of anyone that can help. Tks and hope yall had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country will it work with the countrys data Services that are local

If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country, will it work with the countrys Local data Services

hi guys,
i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
-Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
- Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
- Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
- Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
- Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
- Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
- Wait until iTunes detects the phone
- iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
- Phone Unlocked
- just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
and iphone is unlocked
NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.

You can't do it in Java without using the reflection API. Look it up and you will find the way to do it, but like was said, it isn't that easy.
A better option might be to create an interface like:
public interface Executable {
public XXXX execute(); // XXXX would be the type the execute method should return
//maybe add a public void init(YYYY); method to setup class attributes as needed
}Now, you create several classes that implement the Executable interface and perfoms the different functions that you want to do:
public ShowExecutable implement Executable {
public XXXX execute() { return show(); }
public XXXX show() {
    System.out.println("<OPTION value='0' selected>ALL</OPTION>");
    return; //Assuming XXXX == void
public void AddField(Executable exe) {
    exe.execute();
}

20" iMac and external Dell 24" : doesn't work with Mini DVI to DV adapter!

Help! My lovely Dell HP LP2475w 24" Monitor can't be used as an external monitor. The native screen resolution is 1900x1200 60Hz. The Apple site claims the iMac is capable of being able to output this resolution.
When the HP is plugged in via the apple mini to dvi adapter a (tested) DVI lead, it recognises the monitor, but can't bring it to life. Just an occasional flash. In the resolution listing for the HP, the native resolution 1900x1200 isn't listed.
Plugging a cruddy old 20" Samsung with the same DVI leads works with no problems.
I NEED to use the HP for my Photo editing, and phone calls to Apples support have proved fruitless.
Does anyone have a 20" Intel iMac and an HP LP2475w set up that works?
Many thanks for any help.

I'm glad you got it working!
So do you have it working at full 1900x1200? I've noticed a few more oddities about my iMac on this monitor. First off is that initially I could only go as high as 1680x1050, which I think is the native resolution of the iMac. Now I actually see two more options, one of which being 1920x1200. This surprises me since you couldn't get it to a full 1920. Both resolutions produce the same size image on the HP, but the 1680x1050 is fuzzier. It's odd to me, same dimensions just a little less clear. I can stretch that using the HP's settings to full screen, but I cannot adjust the 1920/1200 image even though there is a black border around it.
Can you tell me what color settings you have on the HP? I have really struggled to find something I like. I actually like how things look in my iMac, and my MBP. I can't get things to look the same on the HP. I also feel like text is just a hair fuzzier on the HP than on either the iMac or MBP. I'm tempted to try a used 23" Apple Cinema Display, but I'm not sure I'll have any better luck with that. I mostly concerned about the image quality when I use my laptop, and for some reason I'm not getting great results with the HP or Dell externals that I've tried.

IPod Touch no longer works with car stereo after 4.0 update

I updated my iPod to 4.0 a couple of days ago, and my Hyundai Santa Fe's built-in iPod interface no longer recognizes my iPod's music - it just says "empty iPod" or something of that nature. Is anyone else having this problem?? What should I do?

Add me to the list. Brand blankety-new ipod touch that after 4.0.2 wouldn't work with the Subaru-factory-installed ipod connector in my '08 STI. The shut-it-off-and-restart-in-the-car method at least made it able to play music again but still no recharging.
To add insult to injury I did the have-an-Apple-GENIUS call me thing. The first thing was that they called me....for about 1/4 of a second. The phone blipped for less than a ring and then I got an email saying, "Oh, we TRIED to reach you and you weren't there. Why don't you call us?". So I called and was immediately put on hold. When one of the geniuses finally picked up, I described the issue with great patience and his insightful answer was, "let me put you on hold while I talk to my supervisor." So I sat on hold for five minutes until...they just hung up...no answer, no, "gee we think you're SOL"....just "click". Thanks a boatload Mr. Jobs.

Working with percentages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

So, I have a quick question. I am new to working with forms in acrobat, and am having a hard time figuring this part out. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!
So I have a form that I've created in acrobat 9 pro. Below I have listed "individual 1:" and then "percentage allocation". The "percentage alloctions" are the different form fields for the percentages I've created. For each form field, I limited the values to not exceed 100%. I want individuals filling in this form to be able to fill in the percentages by each of the names without the TOTAL percentage value (of all three together) going over 100%. But...the trick is, I don't have a separate "Total" form field, there's no room for one. So is there a way to make it so the total of the three equals 100% without having a "total" form field?
individaul 1: percentage allocation
Individual 2: percentage allocation1
Individual 3: percentage allocation2
Please let me know if this makes sense,

Try67,
Thank you for sending me that reference guide, that will help. This is extremely frustrating for me. Thank you for the field visible or hidden script...I did end up finding those yesterday, just didn't know how to incorporate them to become visible if the total number is less than 100.
I ended up creating another text field right next to the total, and called it "statement". I marked this field as "hidden" through the general properties option in the adobe acrobat dialog box. And , I set up default text to read, "Total value must not be less than 100%". All of this, I did through the properties dialog box.
Individual 1: 30
Individual 2: 20
Individual 3: 10
Total: 60%             "statement" text field is here.
I figured what I could do is add another "if statement" to the validation script I put in for the "Total" text field I already had (below)..don't know if that was a stupid thing to do or not, but didn't know how else to do it. And where it says getField, I added the "statement" text field (the one that is hidden), thinking it would just get that field, but it's not working, what did I do wrong?
var total = Number(getField("individual1").value) + Number(getField("individual2").value) + Number(getField("individual3").value);
if (total>100) {
    app.alert("The total of the beneficiary fields must equal 100%");
    event.rc = false;
if (total<100) {
this.getField("statement").display = display.visible;

Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner. You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
QAM tuners to record local channels only
This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed. That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.
