  • flash_portfolio_300x250.js? 1465837255984 why these numbers are added at the end of my js file?

    So I have a javascript file named "flash_portfolio_300x250.js", but inside my index of the referencing file ' flash_portfolio_300x250.js? 1465837255984 '. so I have a client trying to download this on google display network and they get an error message and are far from happy at the moment. I didn't know they used the google display network so I had no idea what it was. Once I discovered they were using it I ran my files through their validator and found the question

    < script src = "flash_portfolio_300x250.js? 1465837255984" > < / script >

    I do not have a file named that. the name of the file is the following

    < script src = "flash_portfolio_300x250.js" > < / script >

    Once I got rid of those numbers at the end of the name of the file the validator came back as good.

    Anyone know why its adding this?

    This apear in random numbers when you test applications. They apear to prevent caching of the browser. It is better to publish and test the published file.

  • Some features not available when the contents of the tags are used

    So the new function of Adobe Muse that allows for content to be applied and adjusted tags on different device site is based is great. However, I noticed when these tags are used, certain features appear to not work. Examples: In a setting of text marked with a content label, you can not "BOLD" specific words. Also, you cannot paste into a chart and apply the text wraps. Unless I'm missing something, is somewhat a disappointment.

    No you're not missing something. This currently limits for Muse. It is a relatively new feature that I am confident will grow as Muse is changing.

  • I do not use sync and am not connected? Why my favorites are synchronization?

    My desktop computer has a series of bookmarks that I use at work. My home PC has another, different set of bookmarks that I use at home. I do not use sync and am not connected to sync on each PC. Why my favorites are the synchronization between two PCs? For example, I noticed several bookmarks near the top of my bookmark menu over a line of separation that I do not have to work. I deleted them. I come home and find those missing same bookmarks from my PC at home. I do not want to synchronize anything between the two computers, why what is happening?

    Maybe an add-on is the sync these for you.

  • Can someone explain why these two paintings 'look' different even if they are from the same source?

    Hi all!

    I'm just curious, why these two tables are different and are they really different in terms of structure, even if they are from the same source? The left is the exit of tdms get properties and the other is a power of arry auto indexed.

    Nilesh-

    No doubt, you are referring to the visual aspect, since the data are the same. One of them uses a different type of indicator of the chain. You probably click right and choose 'create-> Indicator '. When you perform this LabVIEW will use the same style of indicator as what sub-VI/uses. In case you made directly from the PDM function, but the other was created between the autoindex loop tunnel for, in the second he used everything that was default in your preferences.

  • Why the same numbers are used every day for 4 updates

    Whenever I have shut down my computer, I get a message saying that 4 updates are being installed.  I checked my updates and they are the same 4 updates every day.  What gives?

    Here are a few ideas:

    Audit of the newspaper is not a bad idea. but it is likely that the update log has been accumulated since XP was installed, is probably quite large, overwhelming and intimidating to see.

    I can assure you about that nobody wants to watch a huge log file with a bunch of junk in it.

    You might stop the Automatic Update Service, rename or delete the log and restart the Service to get a new connection, but even when there is 'nothing to do', the journal is full of junk that is difficult to interpret.

    Since updates .NET Framework are connected and these updates are well known for installation problems, an option is to clear the log, just choose an update - say KB982168 and try to install it manually and then you can watch what is happening, and if you have disabled your front update log file It can be easier to spot the problem.

    There is little help that particular article KB, but sometimes the .net Framework updates are particularly bothersome - perhaps other previously botched updates, malware, or other reasons.

    The best thing to do when fail it these sorts of updates of .NET Framework (minimizing the frustration) is often just uninstall all the stuff of the .NET Framework and install everything again from scratch (after checking that there is no malicious software on the system).

    We know absolutely zero about this system because the MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked.  Well, we actually know a little bit of things - it's a computer.  Do not know information difficult troubleshooting.

    Hear me, people of MS Answers?

    If you check the links in the article of Microsoft KB for some other updates, like KB979909, you can read that Microsoft has free help and support for these and all security updates - and sometimes, they are actually quite helpful and responsive.

    There are several support options, including a toll free number for especially by using the security updates that fail to install.

  • If you are using windows 7 in xp mode my display settings are low and I can't adjust the parameters of why and how can I fix

    why I can't change my screen with windows 7 in xp mode and how could solve the problem

    Hi tmjmech,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Settings and change integration features

    When you run XP Mode, it is possible to change the material and data that are automatically integrated into the virtual pc. To change these settings when in Office XP Mode, click the Tools menu and select settings. You will now be in the settings of the virtual machine screen and click on the category of integration features . From there, you can specify what material and features that you want to embed or share with your desktop computer XP Mode.

    These features are:

    ·         Audio - this must be disabled so that you have the best performance. It should be noted that even with this unchecked, all its XP desktop mode will still play through the sound card of your host.

    ·         Clipboard - if this is enabled, then you will be able to copy and paste between XP Mode and your normal desktop.

    ·         Printer - Sharing host your printer with XP Mode.

    ·         Smart cards - XP Mode allows access to the host chip cards.

    ·         Disk - XP mode to access the host players, which include hard disks, CD/DVD players and removable media.

    All changes made to the above settings will be persistent every time that you start the XP Mode. However, if you disable the integration of a particular session, you can click on the Tools menu and then select disable integration features. This will make it so that you do not have access to one of the resources of the host. To enable access to these resources, simply click on the option to enable integration features in the Tools menu.

    Change the XP Mode Virtual Machine settings

    If you find that XP Mode does not work as fast as you want to, or you want to add more features, you must change some settings in your settings in Virtual PC for XP Mode. To change these settings, you must first stop XP Mode so that it is not in a State of hibernation. To do this, click on the menu on Ctrl + Alt + Delete , and then click close on the screen that appears.

    When XP Mode stopped, click the Start Menu, select all programs, Windows Virtual PC, scroll down and then click on Windows Virtual PC icon. You should now see a list of your Virtual PC, including Windows XP Mode. Right click on Windows XP Mode, and select settings. Now that Windows XP Mode is stopped, you can change the settings of your virtual machine. The parameters that you may consider to change to increase the performance and reliability are:

    1 memory
    -if you find that your applications are running slowly, then you can raise it so that your applications have access to more memory system.

    2 hard drives
    -you are able to add more 2 hard disks to your Windows XP Mode. So if you need to add another disk to your Windows XP Mode, you can do here. This will allow you to create a second disk on another physical drive of your computer to improve performance.

    3. cancel the disks - disks of cancellations allow you to create a base of your installation of Windows XP Mode image and then save all changes in a disc of cancellations. So if you need start from your base image, you just go back to settings and ignore the changes in your drive of cancellations. The next time that you start Windows XP Mode, you will be back to the basic configuration with any changes you have made to scrap. I suggest that everyoneturn this option on because it only increases the safety of your installation of Windows XP Mode.

    When you have completed your changes, just click the OK button to save the changes.

    When you then start Windows XP Mode, these settings will now be implemented.

  • What are the parameters? How are Variables differenet? Why we can not use variables to pass data to one sequnece to another? What is the advantage to use parameters instead of Variables?

    Hi all

    I am new to TestStand. Still in the learning process.

    What are the parameters? How are Variables differenet? Why we can not use variables to pass data to one sequnece to another? What is the advantage to use parameters instead of Variables?

    Thanks in advance,

    I'm sorry... I discovered that... its not at all possible to pass data to another sequence using variables... it must be through settings... once again I apologize for the display of such a stupid question

  • Why LabVIEW example projects using Global Variables?

    I'm puzzled.  I've been pretty good programmers LabVIEW talks (including some who work for the OR) and came away with the impression that Global Variables should, as a general rule, be avoided, with functional Global Variables (alias VI Globals) generally preferred for "local memory".

    I have studied some of the example distributed with LabVIEW, 2012 and 2013, in particular the proposed acquisition in real time and am struck by the use of Global Variables, where I'd be inclined to use instead a FGV.  For examples, to stop all the loops on the RT target, the overall "All the RT loop Stop" is defined; 'Constants' of configuration (such as timeouts, Streme network names, the names of the journal folder) are kept as Globals; Streme network endpoints are stored in Globals.

    [Note - there is a weird spelling of the second word of the network Streme, above - when I tried to post with the correct spelling, I got an error message saying this word is 'not allowed in this community".]  I apologize for the offense, but I must confess that I do not understand what the problem with the help of the spelling of this word...]

    Why use Globals in these cases, rather than write a bunch of VIGs to hold these data?  Note that almost all these Globals are 'Read' essentially (written once when a resource is acquired, for example) or "Read Only" (treated as if they were a constant).  Indeed, read-only variables can be written as a Subvi with only an output terminal, acting as a (visible, due to the icon) constant.

    I can see advantages to this approach.  On the one hand, VIGs can have error bounds who run the data flow (I just spotted a bug "data flow" in code, I am developing that is based on this model, to read configuration data to an XML file in a world and in the same VI, Global wiring to a "use - me" terminal, but with no guarantee that I'll read the overall after I write it).

    It is, I suppose, a matter of 'speed' - perhaps Global Variables are 'faster' than VIGs (especially if the VIG 'sits' on an error line).  My thought, however, is that this difference is likely to be trivial, especially as these VIGs (or Globals) tend to become "occasional" calls (with the exception of the indicator 'all the loop Stop' which is called once per line).

    Are there other arguments or considerations that make a Variable global to a better choice than a VIG?  Is there a reason that LabVIEW developers put in these start-up of projects LabVIEW?

    BS

    I have to ask, how do you use functional Global Variables?  Like just a Get and Set?  If so, you can use a global variable.

    Yes, globals are faster and use much less overhead.  At the summits of CLA in recent years, we talked about using globals.  The most common use is for Write-Once-Read Many and writing-never-Read Many with configuration data.  It's a good idea to use globals with the constants that can change on you.  It turns out that the world will have the same performance as a constant in this case.  This is done so that you don't have 1 place to edit the 'constant '.

    The rule on "Globals are evil" actually goes back several years when NEITHER had the huge "people of the country are bad" vendata.  But NEITHER explains well how to do things properly.  So I found people, instead of using local variables, using the value property node.  It's even worse because the property causes thread swaps and kills your performance.  It wasn't until I shouted to people to use wires and shift registers I have seen improvements in the way in which people wrote their code.  So people are always riffling in the use of globals and decided to use FGVs with the EEG and fixed rather cases.  But this does not solve the problem of the conditions of race with critical data and you cause an additional burden.

    So from my experience, I use globals all the time for configuration data.  Yes, you must be careful about the race conditions.  But as long as you understand that it is a common and useful practice.

    I would not use a global variable for data that are constantly changing (use registers to offset or Action motor) and/or processes that have critical sections of code (use a motor of Action).

    NOTE: I use the definition of Mercer to FGV (a Get/Set only) and motor Action (many cases which specifically affect the data).

  • Why Skype calls can drop?

    I just realized that Skype is the only program that I use when calls are down in fact sometimes. Why it does this? Curse works very well, Teamspeak, too. Skype is the only program I know that sometimes descends just calls without a visible reason.

    To be more precise with my question: what part of Skype is different from other programs and causes these call drops?

    When your connection network is bad, etc., high latency Skype and Teamspeak also whch. The part of 'difference' can be thet Skype whch until others do and try to rebuild a better connection.

    Programs like Skype VoIP uses UDP for communications, UDP is connectionless, which means there is no guarantee that the packets arrive. This translates into seriously bad audio/video quality, the point of uselessness if your latency is high, down and retry are so logical.

    Try to have a computer to use all your download speed and use Teamspeak, if you don't have any set of QoS, you will probably arrive after awhile (reconnection) cause of time long response on the server.

    In short, in most cases where you get dropped to Skype, it's because the quality of the service is bad, most Skype drops occur after you said 'I can't hear you", suggesting that your bandwidth is low or if you have latency high (using this route to the other host).

  • How the hell can you stop these calls?

    We have been plagued by these calls for months, we can't make them stop. The caller display shows not available or international. At present, we receive calls from 3 or 4 per day. He has, in fact, worsened by telling them that we know that it is a scam, leaving the phone off the hook does not work or not speaking to tell them that it is a scam or not. any ideas please?

    I just read an article about it today. If you are not yet on the "Do not call list" and you reside in the United States, know about it.

    If they are the Robo calls. Simply do not answer when you pick up will get them to stop. If I don't recognize the number, I pick up. If you do not pick up and they choose a number option (as support on 'on' to delete your number), off the phone. If you answer that they know that it is a viable number and they'll keep the appellant.

    On live calls, I used a whistle and even shouted. Some times it works. Most of the time it isn't. Get info and call to gripe to the Governor if you are on the list. They get a fine for each infringement.
