Hello! 'New' T61, need advice
Hello world! I am new to the Board of Directors and the Thinkpads in general. I just bought a T61 off of Ebay and I wanted to see if anyone has advice, tips, suggestions, etc.
I'm planning on upgrading the memory to 3 GB, but is there something that will help with performance?

Creative cloud is simply a distribution model & payment. You always download & install the software on your computer as you always have. You always save the files on your local hard drive, you always. Nothing has changed in this regard.
CS2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5 is no longer supported or sold by Adobe. If you buy software from another source in line do so at your own risk. The pirated versions were circulating these last time and they do not work. In some cases, they contain malware that could compromise your computer.
You have a modern operating system. This is another reason to use current software. Several older versions required Rosetta which Apple is more included in its press releases. Purchase of old copies similarly ligit software does not mean that it will work on your system. Let's face it, the stuff you used 8 years ago are useless today because Apple & Win continue to change operating systems.

Need advice from first Apple TV purchase
Hello
I need some advice on the purchase of my first Apple TV.
I want an Apple TV for two reasons:
(1) for watching movies and TV shows I purchased/rented from iTunes
(2) Watch Netflix
I have the choice between the 3rd and 4th gen Apple TV. The 3rd generation is MUCH less expensive than the 4th Gen seeing that my priority is my iTunes and Netflix content, it's worth spending a lot more on the 4th generation? Other than games and fancy remote what can the 4th gen cannot 3rd generation?
A colleague suggested that I'd rather have a Google Chromecast because it much cheaper than the Apple TV. I know even less about this than the Apple TV. The Chromecast will be able to play my purchased DRM protected iTunes movies and TV shows?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
4th Gen has also access to the subscription service music Apple 3rd generation does not, and as developers more come aboard, it will have at its disposal more Apps as the current 3rd generation is now basically 3 years and does not get a new round of software updates this time and no way of knowing if it will get any in the future.
4th Gen will probably continue to receive updates and support of the 3rd party developers such as Netflix for a while.
The Chromecast plays basically everything that is on your computer or mobile device screen. Unlike the Apple Tv, it does not on its own plays anything nor has an interface, you can see on the screen. It's just a receiver and you "cast" content. You cannot however "cast" iTunes protected content to it. This means that you can not directly play iTunes purchases and rentals on it.
Since you plan on playing iTunes content, the best bet is the Apple Tv. If you do not really need the apps and games, go for the 3rd GEN, otherwise you can go for the cheapest 32 GB 4th Gen

Best network design... Need advice on the best use of NIC
I'm new to the concept of Distributed Switch so I need advice.
Our current environment is the result of a vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus, but we are just using the standard vSwitch (1 for vMotion/Console and 1 for virtual machines). When the distributed switch came out, we were warned that a vDSwitch could cause us problems if the server vCenter or database is down. We could not connect directly to the host and make network changes because the vDSwitch is set in the database. That's why we stayed with the Standard vSwitch only.
Our farm is quite small, only 5 hosts but we run around 100 mV in this regard.
We use currently servers HP DL385 G7, which have 4 cards integrated network, and we have a map of installed NETWORK 4 port card.
I use the NETWORK 4 EtherChannel ports and trunk card to our virtual machines.
I am currently using only 1 network card integrated for vMotion and 1 for the Service Console and they all have two of the other defined as secondary.
This configuration has worked very well for us, but I realize that the latest version of ESXi has some new features that we could use.
NEW CONFIGURATION
I'll put up a new vCenter 5 and ESXi 5 environment and I am considering using the switch distributed instead of the usual vSwitch we use. I'm also eager to take advantage of the multiple NIC vMotion. All our cards are 10/100/1000 MB capable... No. 10 GigE.
I think... use that map 4 NETWORK ports for my EtherChannel/trunk for just as our virtual machine before, but this would be set to vDSwitch1
The mixture of my 4 other integrated ports, it's causing me grief. Should they be on a standard vSwitch or vDSwitch? Use 2 ports for vMotion and 2 for the Console? I really thought to use 3 ports for vMotion and 1 Console port. I could put the Console port to use one of the vMotion ports such as adapter of standby is... I'm so confused freaking!
Any recommendations on how I should put up?
Hello
Given that you can't split your vmnic for each vSwitch I would recommend either keep configuration simular with the knoweldge if a whole nic fails, you will take a failure or as autumn has already been mentioned on 'Origin Port ID'. Lets do this out and give a little better example
Current configuration
vSwitch0
VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console
VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)
VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)
VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)
vSwitch1
VMNIC4 - extension PCI NIC - Etherchannel trunk - PortGroup - VMNET
Extension VMNIC5 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET
Extension VMNIC6 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET
Extension VMNIC7 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET
Now, to captured to eliminate any single point of failure that you could do is break your Etherchannel trunk and back this vSwitch from Port ID and Setup VMNIC2, VMNIC3, VMNIC4, VMNIC5 as vSwitch1 for your VMNET. Then the cable to multiple switches eliminate any single point of faiulre. If your standard configuration would look like this
vSwitch0
VMNIC0 - on - Board Service Console
VMNIC1 - Board - Vmotion
VMNIC6 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion
VMNIC7 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion (standby Service Console)
vSwitch1
VMNIC2 - VMNET
VMNIC3 - VMNET
VMNIC4 - VMNET
VMNIC5 - VMNET
So to finish any request for psyhical nics on this particular configuration the Port ID of origin essentially around robins. If during your first VM is online it will be use VMNIC2 and nic forever, until a failure, in which case he will grab the next nic online. When your second VM is online it will use VMNIC3 forever, until a failure and so on. This still will give you around the same way through to as far as networking is concerned. However if you are attached to the trunk, etherchannel 4 GB and can obsorb a failure in case of failure, the network card 4 ports can stay.
Distributed switching Setup
Allows you to see how you can switch to distributed switching
Let's start first of all, you can have EVERYTHING in switches distributed even the service console port if you wish. The resason why some people do not like to do this with the service console port is because IF your database is broken you cannot make any changes to the distributed switch. However it will not prevent a feature to your distributed it switches simply means, you can change them. Also if just getting worse and your DB has been declining for some time and you REALLY need to make a change to the service console port you can go into the console and change back to a standard vSwitch if need be. This allows the said look at some standard configs, you can work
vSwitch0 (Standard)
VMNIC0 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)
VMNIC4 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)
vSwitch1 (Standard)
VMNIC1 - Vmotion
VMNIC5 - Vmotion
Distributed switch
VMNIC2 - VMNET
VMNIC3 - VMNET
VMNIC6 - VMNET
VMNIC7 - VMNET
Now this config using originating port ID and breaks your etherchannel if you want to keep your configuration with the etherchannel it can look like this
vSwitch0
VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console
VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)
VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)
VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)
Distributed switch
VMNIC4 - VMNET
VMNIC5 - VMNET
VMNIC6 - VMNET
VMNIC7 - VMNET
Other changes to the configuration may also put the vmotion in distributed witch the VMNET but you would to VLAN, or you could create a second Distributed switch and put it as long as there are 2 network cards. It can go either way. The main advantage of a distributed switch is that it brings all of your settings with you in any host. So trade ect all your VIRTUAL networks is really easy to reproduce if a new host is brought online, all you have to do is to add the new host network cards in the distributed switch and your config is done. With that in mind lets look at the service console. This console is always configured on EACH Setup program that out you of the box if not that you really need to have these parameters transported on several hosts that is another reason why most people just don't. VMotion is up to you, I have seen and configured two ways, it all depends on how simple you want to keep it or think of switching / vlaning / port of groups.
If you have any questions please let me know, I hope this has helped

Need advice on this Toshiba laptop to get
Hello
Just joined and hope im this ad in the right place. I need advice on this Toshiba laptop to get. It will be used for photo editing. Must have a 15/16 screen. Big screen would be nice. Programs that I run are Adobe and Photoshop light room. I use a wacom tablet with 2 external hard drives. It will be used manly at home and in the studio.
Thank you very much
Hi Tacker
In general I think that the best option for you is to buy notebook series Satellite A. Something like Satellite A665. It's very nice for laptop with good material and enough performance that you can use for your work.
I prefer laptops with bigger screen so for years I use Satellite P laptops with screens of 17 or 18. Right now I use the Satellite P500. It's the big machine. For me the best Toshiba laptop, I had over the past 10 years.
When you have a little time to visit Toshiba page for your country and check which models Satellite are available in your country. Choose the one with the better graphics chip, enough Ram and, of course the HARD drive with enough capacity.
Please be so kind and post comments. It will be nice to read what you think of this.

Inspiron s 660: hard disk failure. Need advice please.
Long story short my sister gave me a s Inspiron 660 she received as a gift a few years back (legitimate). She said that was no longer working and I could. I suspected a faulty hard drive and after several diagnostic tests later confirmed the WD Blue crashed the original; complete failure. Now, here's where I need advice:
1. when it has received, it came not with a physical disk from the Windows 8.0 operating system. It was pre-installed and then upgraded through its work of departmental to 8.1 it.
2. I can't access the code of Windows because it is in the BIOS.
3. I have a hard drive to work with Windows 7 installed and tried hooking laptop to see if he should realize that he was a long shot at best. As you have probably concluded he was not recognized.
4. I thought wiping one of my hard drives and do a clean install of Windows 10.
Question: With a new hard drive (or possibly an SSD) would work #4 or I still have problems with the BIOS and Windows embedded product code?
Question: What do you suggest I should try? It's a nice little system and everything is clean and stable. I have someone who needs a system, but can't afford it, and I thought I'd give something that would meet its needs.
Thank you.

Re: 4. I thought wiping one of my hard drives and do a clean install of Windows 10.
Yes, it should work, but to do this, you must either buy an OEM copy of W-10, which has its own product key.

Hi all
I'm new to the development of Blackberry and I'm writing a relatively simple application to run on 7.1.
So far the development was interesting, I managed to create my user interface using resources online (mainly this forum), but today I tried to implement some of the network classes that I need and now I just met constant problems.
I use Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 (the one that comes with the plugin RIM)
First question:
I'm not sure what I changed, but today I noticed that whenever I start the Simulator (by sim 9360) my application is started during the initial startup process. I don't think he did this before, but to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention. I think it starts at the start of the device is because I put a breakpoint in the constructor for my class from the main screen, which is hit before the Simulator happens even to the point where it is ready for user interaction. In addition, once it is ready, if I press the BB button, I see my registered application.
I don't have it set to automatic start in .xml descriptior enforcement.
I started this application on the HelloBlackBerry sample, here is my main method for the entry of the application:
public static void main( String[] args ) { appSettings = AppSettings.fetch(); // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently // running thread the application's event dispatch thread. HelloBlackBerry theApp = new HelloBlackBerry(); theApp.enterEventDispatcher(); //openConnection(); }
As far as I know, this is the only entry point for the application.
More code
public HelloBlackBerry() { // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering. mainScreen = new ScreenHelloBlackBerry(); pushScreen( mainScreen ); }
Here is the method of. my class AppSettings fetch()
// Retrieves a copy of the effective properties set from storage. public static AppSettings fetch() { AppSettings savedSettings = (AppSettings) _store.getContents(); return new AppSettings(savedSettings); }
Some of this code that I wrote myself, the persistence store cause the launch of my car?
I tried to reset the Simulator to the factory settings, no change.
All applications initialized during the startup of the device and then closed shortly after?
Part 2: Need advice for the implementation of functions of network in the application
I need to implement some methods that will retrieve data from a web service, and I also need to send data to this service. What I've read, the ConnectionFactory is the way to go. I want my application to make a request when the application is open and can check on a set interval. I didn't know exactly how to go about adding another thread for networking, I understand that network connections should not be created on the thread main event, so I tried to do this:
The constructor of my class that implements screen (ScreenHelloBlackBerry), I use the following to create a modal dialog box to prompt the user for a username, I also try networking wire in the same segment of spawning:
public ScreenHelloBlackBerry(){...initialize fields and managers, add it all together...then near the end //This will open the confirm dialog when the application is launched UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { openConfirmDialog(); //start connection - Possibly broken ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread(); ct.start(); } });
I don't know if it's somehow OK to do, but it seems to work for what I need. I want a user who launches the application at the prompt, and if a user switch applications, when they come back they wondered again (unless they close the app and reopen it).
Here is my ConnectionThread:
public class ConnectionThread extends Thread { public void run() { ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory(); ConnectionDescriptor connDesc; connDesc = connFact.getConnection("http://www.google.com"); if (connDesc != null) { HttpConnection httpConn; httpConn = (HttpConnection)connDesc.getConnection(); try { final int iResponseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode(); UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { Dialog.alert("Response code: " + Integer.toString(iResponseCode)); } }); httpConn.close(); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Caught IOException: " + e.getMessage()); } } } }
At the moment it has basically unmodified code from a sample that I found, I'll be retooling to meet my needs whenever I can make it work. I HAD this work to the point where, after the closed user confirm this dialog, a few moments later a an alert dialog appears with the 302 response code. I don't know what changed, but now it doesn't work at all, and if I try to scroll with the debugger, I can't past the httpCon.getResponseCode (). I've seen some mistakes earlier on "no record of service was set up", and I also had once a timeout exception.
I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but at the same time as I said WAS working, and now it is not. If someone has done this far, thank you very much for your time and advice are much appreciated.
Also, should I try to start the thread of the network of the UIApplication class instead of the screen? There is currently very little happening in the class that extends UIApplication, do I spend most of my business logic out of the class of the screen and in the UIApplication class?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all
Just to conclude this topic for those who are interested, I found an excellent guide to the implementation of networks in applications of BB, click here for a link.
About my application being started at the start of the simulator of the device, I found that on a device real this behavior is not complied with, and in addition, the behaviour seems to have stopped after uninstallation and reinstallation of my Simulator.
See you soon,.

Also, depending on the age of your computer and operating system, the store cannot sell to you
From what I was told by an employee, newer than 10.7 Mac must subscribe in the cloud instead of buy CS6... and someone with Win10 must also subscribe to the cloud for CS6 is not compatible (meaning that the seller will ask you your operating system and not sell you CS6 if she does not work on your computer... I don't know if this means that Win7 and you can't buy if you have Win8)
Please report back with your operating system if you are able to buy CS6

I wonder is there really a difference between a DBA or be an Expert in Oracle security? isn't security Oracle in Oracle DBA?
My apologies if I asked something stupid... but I need advice from gurus.
Thanks in advance.

Security must not take lightly, and I know people very strong knowledge dedicated to who, without being 'subset' of DBA. This is a rather complementary position.
But even once, that depend on your company, the company you are involved, etc.Nicolas.
