Database Develop

the things pc users dont get about apple! :P

it's not just a pc/phone/mp3player
it's a lifestyle
a lifestyle where you have a designer home
which the people from the magazine will come by to get some pictures
for their frontcover of!
and right after that steve jobs comes by
and comment on your cool new black turtle neck
then you play 1on1 baskerball for a bit
and take your rollerblades and run/drive
down to the coffee shop(not the dutch type )
where you have a latte' and listen to some progressive
standUp poets
and thats a day!

apple users on the other hand dont know what it's like being a pc user
always checking under the bed and behind the trashcans in the ally
to check if steve balmer is there (he's always somewhere! )
sniffing and checking and looking if you somehow
are taking shady actions which will in some way
shake his empire
he's not scared of getting a bit rouch and psycial
and sooner or later he will! inject that transmitter device/mind control pill
which for some odd ms R&D related reason can only be inserted
into the rectum
and he will totally kill your dualboot with linux
remove all your favourite mongoose pr0n
and set back your desktop to the default ms comercial it came with
and put buy vista on your today list

:O given the choice of walking passed him in a brith ligth steet i would take my chances with the radioactive bums with freggin laserbeams on their heads
in the dark ally

no biggy i've been doing that myself for years
have been thinking about going to uk but the whole concept of going
the wrong way around roundabouts would prob make me break down
and confess everything

never heard about her before in my life
maybe i just dont come in the right commune
circles
heck maybe i'm on their list of the first up agenst
the well when the revolution comes

I might have nightmares tonight.
"I'm a Mac - And I'm a PC".
I have virtually no virus. I also don't have great games and a lot of software is not compatible with me neither.
Almost every game is compatible with windows, same goes for software. And we KNOW about goddamned viruses!
I am not complicated. I come with a webcam because compatibility issues would make buying one a mess.
How bad! As long as you don't go with vista, everything can be plugged to your PC!
I can't have users that simply like me, they need to ***** about how great the mac lifestyle is.
I have an enormous amount of users worldwide and no one is whining about this. Some pretend I'm Satan
"I'm an iPhone - And I'm a Pocket PC"
You can guess these alone...

Hmm.... Here we go fighting again over which computing architecture is better...
Oh well, might as well through some wood on that fire:
At work, my station is a 2.4 P4 PC with XP Pro. A graphics designer in our office is using an old G4 Mac with OS 9 (I am told it is running a 400MHz processor, but I really don't know).
Once when I needed to use the Mac to find some file (the graphics guy was on vacation) I found that getting used to a mouse with only one button is not so easy... (WTF? There isn't even tap and hold
Then again, single operation on a certain huge graphic file that took almost 30 min on my PC took less then 2 min on the Mac...
What does that say about which is better? Nothing! To each his (or hers) own!
But I do think that Apple is making a move in a very bad (read: suicidal) direction by announcing that unlocked iPhones will be bricked by firmware update...

Obviously, but I don't get the "lifestyle" thing. I'm glad this is not a gaming forum. This kind of topic get red hot in a matter of seconds as soon as you mention anything that could possibly eventually somehow in an explicit way that that X console might not be as good as Y console. Good times...

crackup!

the web cam was mentioned as something a mac would have trouble with. You should try vista! I noticed that my built in web cam was not set up properly in my device manager so i selected the correct cam and installed the driver. I restarted vista and it told me the computer could not start. There was no access to anything like safe mode from xp. Vista then reinstalled all its components (taking half an hour) it then told me it would not be able to fix itself then brought up the blue screen and turned off. Thats like saying screw you - you messed with a minor piece of hardware your computer is now garbage.
I repeated this 5 times and it magically worked. A quick trip to device manager to disable the cam and no more problems. Even through my disgust with macs they are starting to look a whole lot better compared to vista.

free drink mix software?

finally 21 and now i want software to help me get drunk in delicious fashion soo does anyone know of free software with mixes based on ingredients and such?

Here is one free one that I know of, however it is in no way the best. It actually references an online database to pull the drinks, so you would need a data plan to utilize it. It can be downloaded from freewarepocketpc at http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocketender.html
The best one that I have found is not free but was only like $14 USD and is fantastic. It is from Town Compass, but it is quite inclusive... Here's some of the info: http://software.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=490101

App
There's a bunch on this site. check them out. i havent tried it yet thou.

i personally love the bartender app on the tmobile G1 but i cannot find it for my phone... errrrrr
well i hope i helped some. and if anyone can find the bartender app from tmobile g1 and its compatible with raphael/fuze i would love to know!!
later

After looking through what was available, I'm a bit appalled by how horrible most of those apps look (and work).
I'm a former (and possibly returning) bartender and used to be a regular on one of the bigger online cocktail forums...so trust me when I say that most of the apps I saw are abysmal in both looks and function.
If there's enough interest, I'd consider throwing together an application to do this all much better. Any thoughts?

AvantGo
Try using www.avantgo.com and add the "Drink Boy" channel. You'll get good recipes on a nice interface that you can view and search for offline. When you're online, it updates itself. I've had a lot of fun with it.
Oh yeah! Don't drink and drive.

I would definately be down. I totally concur. Half the bartender apps are outdated or are a bit difficult to navigate through. Being an amature bartender, I use my database quite a bit, but yeah if there was a program that would allow you to enter in your liquors on hand and priovide you with possibile combinations... Damn... That'd be sweet....
Sorry it's too early in the morning....

I freely admit, since I'm out of work right now, I'm fine with being a whore
I've already got a bit of this started, but I'm working on another project first that I think will get a lot of wide-spread usage across the forum. But I'll get back to working on this one very soon.
In the mean time, are there any particular features anybody is looking for. I'm sure it'll be easy enough to figure out all of the features the drinkers want, but what about bartenders? Tell me how often you think you'll be entering drinks, what extra features do you need. Will you actually be using this while at work...with your fingers?
I know this is in the Raph section, though it belongs in Q&A or D&H, but does anybody here want a QVGA version, or dare I ask, W(Q)VGA? If this app is going to see finger-based controls (which I'd expect to make sense), it's not really going to work out having small windows controls, so graphics/resolution will be considered for the first version.

I used to be a regular contributor to the forums there...The biggest problem is that the drink database is absolutely cluttered with incorrect entries and missing a lot of common recipes.
When I start building a collection of recipes, there's actually a couple of people from that forum that I'm going to ask for help/collaboration. I'm also going to throw them a heads up to ask for any thoughts from them on what they would like to see.

Any update on this app being made?? Im very anxious to have it...

lol, from me, it'll be at least a couple of weeks. I'm in the middle of working on another app that'll be quite a bit more relevant on this forum. But I will be coming back to this app shortly.
I'll post more info to this thread when I start it, and then I'll create a release thread in D&H (and post a link to it here) when there's a reasonably good start on a beta version.
You can help out by giving some ideas of what features you'd like to see in it.

this is very cool that you'd consider putting an app together, pour...the best reference app/source I've found is that DrinkBoy channel on avantgo. That said, my advice would be keep it very simple. Not only will this, hopefully, take burden and time from your investment to the group, but I don't think I'd be looking for anything other than:
-thorough database with accuracy on both contents and how to prepare
-a "my favorites" option for quick look-ups and personalization
-organize at the root based on main ingredient (e.g. rum, vodka, bourbon)
-a search option with fuzzy-esque searchability (e.g. southside, southsides or southsider would produce the same drink recipe)
I guess these may end up being more work than I thought but an accurate db, easy search and browse engine with a "my fav's" organizer would be PERFECTION for me!!

I kinda suspect, with luck, my app will draw attention from hopefully every group....the college students, bar patrons, and even bartenders from different types of places. For that reason, a "simple" app might not be too likely. Simple interface is definitely part of my plan, but the application itself is going to be pretty powerful and probably meant to cover a lot of people's uses.

- Favorites will be very easy to implement, so this is pretty much a sure thing.
- The database itself is a subject I intend to take more seriously than a lot of people probably expect (more on that in the future).
- I've got several ideas for searches/filters, each will be fleshed out as I build it. I'm aiming mostly for live searches and the first will be using quick ingredient filtering.
- fuzzy search...I'll see what I can do, but that's one I know very little about. Some quick googling turned up some information that's possibly VERY usable, but it's all written for the the big brother .Net Framework while the Compact Framework gets no love. I'll bookmark some of this stuff and see where I can go with it after I've released a first version. As much as it might be cool, I can't justify porting Lucene.Net to the compact framework for this project. In the mean time, I can use a "Sounds Like" mechanism that would probably do pretty well for an early version. I'm also a little worried about performance.
As a note, I'd previously said that I wouldn't be starting this until I finished another application. I feel a little dumb for not seeing it sooner, but I discovered Sashimi exists (though I haven't started testing it). While it sorely lacks about half of the features I planned to build, it does a far better job at the other half of the features I had in mind. I'm going to try out Sashimi for a while to determine if there's enough reason to build my app (or possibly a configurator/extension of sorts for use with Sashimi, if possible). As a result, I'm going to put that project on hold and move on to this one.
Second note...err, request actually...I'm ok with graphics...sometimes...But I want to make this app graphically attractive and possibly add skinning ability. At the very least, I will need a few decent looking icons for a few things, at the most, it might turn into an entire interface design. One of my goals is to make this app roughly comparable to something people might expect to buy form the iPhone AppStore (after all, everybody is *****ing about the lack of pretty WM apps). So, if anybody has decent graphics skills and is up for helping out, drop me a line and we'll bump some ideas around when I get to the right stage.

wow i had almost forgot about this thread glad to see something has come of it!
definetly excited to see what you come up with

Is this program still in active development? I hope it is because it sounds like it could be really nice/useful!

Instagram-->iPhone users hate us

http://www.buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos/iphone-users-disgusted-by-android-instagram
Check out that link.
First of all instagram is a disgrace to every real photographer in the world who actually spends time editing pictures to look better instead of just tossing on a generic mask. Next how can one group of users (namely iPhone users) actually say "Yuck" and "ew" to another group of people being able to use the same service. I dont see anyone who owns a BB saying "Man Android users getting BBM is like losers in high school taking over the cool table", as one retarded person in that post said with regards to instagram on android. In fact I'm pretty sure many BB users would be happy they can BBM more of their friends, or atleast I felt that way when I had a BB. This is truly proof that idiots (I know not everyone that uses instagram falls under this category but clearly these people do) who use instagram truly do think they are better than others simply because they can upload retro looking pictures of their meals and random highlights of their day. Well guess what you can have your *********** instagram back because android has 45 or 50 apps that have the exact same functions and most likely function even better.
To anyone with an android device, do yourself a favour and download Pixlr-o-matic. Its an app brought to you by Autodesk (the company made famous for building autocad and revit as well as 3dstudio max and countless other pieces of pricey software). Its available for free on the Google Play Store and is much better than that piece of elitist **** iPhone users call instagram.
Edit: This was copied from my FB, excuse my language.

Those posts explain everything that is wrong with iPhone users. Thinking their inferior products are better because of a logo.

Haha im with you.
I do a lot of automotive photography. And can spend hours sifting through my pictures and editing them to my satisfaction. In fact i just finished a portfolio (Im currently in school for architecture) which showcased a lot of my photography.
And to have someone come a long take a picture on their cell phone and throw a mask on it and say its better than my pictures makes me sad for humanity. And yes this did actually happen i showed someone a final edit of a picture i had taken, and they whipped out their cellphone and showed me a picture in which they had used the effects built in to camerazoomFX.

Some things you can say:
"Can you zoom into that part of the photo so I can see the detail?"
"Wow, what a great photograph! I'd love to have it hanging in my room at 20x30 inches. You think we can work something out???....oh wait, your ****ty 5MP camera won't allow prints that big."
The only time I use my phones camera is to shoot something funny I see, or if I see something absolutley gorgeus, and I REALLY have to have a photo of it, or of my camera gear...also when drunk in bars. That's really what camera phones were made for.

[email protected] i completely agree with you, i have on my E4GT and also have pixl one u stated like that better than instagram. but these cry baby iphone users act they invented instagram and its only for them. No the creator(s) smartened up and marketed this app to android for more publicity outside of whack @$$ apple. Marketing genious IMO. BUt let the apple iphone user hate cuz android is a million times better anyway. APPLE needs to step their screen size game up.

Wow. Those posts completely put me off. Let the dumb iPhone users f*** themselves with their closed-source, terrible-screened, slow pieces of crap. What has the world come to. I dream of the day when apps are made for Android and not iOS. That'll show them "ew"

Edit: Most of us XDA users are way smarter than the average iPhone user actually, because we rooted our phones, flash them etc. which requires skill. Skill is not defined by updating through one click to the latest iOS. Coding and devvin' definitely takes skill.

Most iPhone users suffer from extreme retardation. Either they don't want to learn about android and just jump on the mainstream train of licking Apple's ass and bashing android, or they are too retarded to learn.

I never understood the iPhone vs. Android fanboy wars...its the one thing more irritating than Dem vs Repub to me. The way I look at it, STFU and enjoy whichever phone you have, they're both good.

Cooincidence or long Term Plan Googles ? Why Android is called android

Ever since i was puzzled why Google calls thier MobileOS Android. I know the explanation about the 90s Game still i never bought it.
Still now with Rapid growing new AI Technology, more and more Datacollecting it hit he. Better late then never.
Android seems to be supposed to not only include Humans into their Big Ai and Data Network, now make it part as their Workforce.
And it was planned so from the beginning, with a very bold clue even in the Naming.
If we look closely it is already doing that. Not only collecting your personal preferences, need and thoughs but also using everyone of us to collect data. If as simple as collecting Wifi Networknames to map the world, or using the GPS/Maps data to Map current Traffic. Or more complex things hidden in our daily Data.
Googles newest Effort, now let us use their Neural Network to analys Data,.. looks like someone wants to learn a lot.
it really apeears to me that not the OS is Android itself alone, but the combination OS and User is the Android.
That google wants to be in every aspect of our life isnt something new, but that we are in googles life is kinda something not outspoken. Were Part of that machinery, bribed with free Services that arent even Services they are simply Tools and we are their willing workers. And i have that strange feeling that this isnt something that just happend, more that this is part of a very big long though plan (i dont call it business plan for a reason).
Well as long this stays passive, well fine who cares you could say.
But is it really passive?
How much are we influenced by filtered Data tailored for us personally.
How much is there to come ?
And what will happen when it wakes up ?
As an Interresting sidenote was microsoft AI on twitter who became a nazi propagate genozide within 24 hours.
Ofc can be simply bad coding by MS, or just a natural reaction of any Inteligence to Human socieity on the net, who knows..
Something to think about

PS You may think iam crazy, then again maybe google fed you the exact information to make you think that

why the effort?
if there is some day an all knowing everything controlling AI why should it rely on human ways of control and war?
i think there much sneakier ways to reduce mankind to nothing if that AI really wants to, hell we would do the work for it without knowing.

I definitely think you're crazy
I also think the tin-foilers have a highly inflated sense of their own importance, thinking that everyone wants to know everything about them.

Not everyone relies on computers or has an online presence. So human killing robots is the best way to be sure to get everyone. In my humble opinion. :good:

I say ,blame the humans...And those troll people like @Darth ...

Death to trolls!!

No. Computers do not think and are not capable of thinking. They do what they are told and *nothing* else.
The Microsoft thing was misreported as click-bait to sucker people who will believe anything they read. The phrase "repeat after me..." was used to make it repeat offensive phrases. It did not "decide" that it liked Hitler - it did what it was told.
What you suggest cannot happen with our technology - it is simply not capable.

OP

I came from the machine world... I know it's coming!

Not the point. Practically everyone relys of computer if you use em or not, if he knows that or not.
Energy, Food, Money,information and communication,.... take whatever you want, its all running now deeply dependent on computers and networks.
you dont need to kill mankind, if you control every little piece of imnformation you control the people.
look like countries like north korea work. still they need violence but most people there really think kim is a god.
and if the biug AI wants to kill us, well simply change a few numbers.
make mankind believe we have enough food and energy until we drained everything to zero and then we simply starve, simplfied spoken

Girlfriend thinks im lying and hiding app sources

Hello,
I need help. This probably sounds ridiculous, but its actually a very heavy subject between me and my girlfriend. Its the cause of endless fights between us, and inspires an every-looming lack of trust she has in me. And it honestly feels like theres NOTHING i can even do about it, because i sincerely do not have an answer for her questions, nor do i even know how to explain the things shes seeing in my phone. Im not an android guy, and shes not exactly a tech person period...which makes this even more frustrating. But anyways, i'll move on...
So heres the gist of it, and some rough examples.
My gf will pick up my phone, and start going thru it. (Which isnt a problem, i have nothing to hide) And she'll use these 3rd party apps to look at/look for APK files, and **** like that, and these apps she uses tell her these apps were 'user' installed (as opposed to preinstalled or whatever), and then she asks me where i downloaded those thing from. And before i go any further i should explain, that for some reason, she flips out if she thinks i installed an app from anywhere other than Google Play Store...and God honest truth yall, i do NOT. I think she trips out because she sees me use Github and stuff on my laptop (i use linux) and she sees i can put pretty much any program from any source on any device... and that for some reason makes her feel like im being sneaky, or doing malicious things. -_- But anyways, she sees this stuff, and accuses me from downloading it from other places besides GooglePlay, and i swear to her i dont, and it causes HUGE issues yall.. like major. I dont get it, because first off, even if i DID, who the **** cares? I dont see why it even matters to her. But Secondly, she accouses me of lying to her about the source of such stupid apps, like "Google Play Services"...thats the most recent one... and she makes me so god damn mad because i didnt even download it, and more importantly didnt download it from another source...its maddening.
We've had other areas of focus before too... like several times shes tripped out when she decided to look at app permissions of everything in my phone and began wondering why everything has such extreme permissions and such...and somehow i feel like she thought i was doing something to spy on her or monitor what shes was doing..and yea, that was a fun time. And sometimes i dont even have an answer period...Like she'll ask about an app and when i see it im like "i never downloaded that", or "i dont remember even putting that on my phone".... but then she thinks im lying (which once again i find so maddening) or hiding **** from her, and as usual we fight and we fight. And it was seriously an app that i DID NOT download. And sometimes i think its maybe like a feature of another app, or if its a file shes looking at it may be a dependency of some sort...but more often than not i cant explain it..and that doesnt ever end well.
Im seriously at the end of my patience..i love her to death, but i cant keep fighting with her day after day over such DUMB ****, especially when i didnt do a single thing shes accusing me of.
Sorry this is so long. But i guess my questions are:
1. How can i better identify the source of an app/file/program, so she can see that I didnt download it from some random source trying to be sneaky.
2. How can I explain various apps or programs in my phone (some have had icons, and others havent.. and the ones without have only madae her feel like im trying to hide it from her) that i didnt put there, and show her what they are, what they're for, or how they got there?
3. Is there a way to PROVE that i dont download apps from other places other than Google Play Store and LG's store thingy? Please...I think this is by far the most crucial question.
Thank you to anyone who bothered reading all of this. And thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me with this. This whole thing is crazy, and honestly heart breaking. Its the worst feeling in the world to be so adamantly called a liar when in fact you've done nothing of the things you're being accused of.

solution to your troubles should be:
I love you and I trust you, and you do the same.
so don't spy at my phone like I don't do the same to yours.
you don't know how/why some apps that you have installed haven't been downloaded from google play store, but you don't give a fluck? good choice. she should never have seen those stuff on your device, it's nothing that matters to her.
if she forces you do give an answer, it may be because she lacks of trust in you. or worse.. she'll do [she's doing?] to you what she accuses you to do to her.

This isnt normal man. I'm 38 and dated many girls. This is kinda extreme. If she goes crazy at apps that might be side loaded vs from Google than what else will she flip out about. An hour late from traffic, had to work overtime and so on.

@deadman.zr0day, your post sounds like a letter that should be sent to Dear Amy and not a technical forum. Your relationship needs more help than just dealing with your phone.
As far as your phone, have you considered adding or changing your pin code, using face lock or, a finger print so that your girlfriend can't just open your phone any time she feels like it?

lol strange story. you can date with everyone

Sounds like your girlfriend has been hacked and somebody is tapping that. They been running all kinds of deep root kits in her and now the virus in her mind has her thinking her malicious activity is about to be exposed. Get out while you can guy. End the end its always about your financial information(&self worth). get out now.

The question to ask her is, why is of such a great concern?

I don't think you can really prove that you aren't downloading apps from unknown sources. You can show her that the option to download from Unknown sources is not checked, but there are many system files and apps that run as processes that keep the OS stable, similar to a desktop operating system. I'm sure you know that that when you check on one of those apps that don't have an icon you get a message that says that it may cause the device to malfunction, become unstable or may cause other apps to stop functioning. As comical as your post is, cyber security and relationship fidelity are serious issues. I'd like to know what transpires from all of this. I hope you keep us posted.

Everything will be fine with a few bottles of wine! Cheers

To answer your three questions:
In settings, Apps, App Info, you can click an app and under App details, it will show where the app came from.
Most system apps don't have icons. You can tell you didn't put them there because you won't be able to uninstall them.
You would have to go through each one to see where it came from using the info from Question 1.
Now that that's out of the way, RUN!! Run away like your life depended on it. I don't like talking bad about another man's girl, but she crazy!
(Apparently crazy girlfriend was just doing a Youtube parody, who knew!)

Oh boy. Your story can be a best-selling netflix movie!
Why don't you try a tracking app on your both devices so that anyone of you gives (and receives) all the phone activities to (from) the other?
Ooops, this needs mutual trust which is not the case... Sorry

Honestly, I'm reluctant to give any technical advice that would enable her behavior. Her behavior is a HUGE red flag and can often act as a precursor for greater abuse. You should talk to her about respecting privacy and the importance of trust in the relationship. Perhaps this article will help: Don't Use Software To Spy On Your Spouse.
If, for some reason, you feel the need to indulge her paranoia, you could do a few things:
Open up Google Play Store. Go to My Apps. If, indeed, you're only installed apps from the Play Store, then they will be listed there. One thing to note: they're listed in a bizarre order. It's not quite chronological and not alphabetical, so you'll have to really scroll through that list to find it. Also note: This lists EVERY app you've ever downloaded, not just the ones currently on your phone.
If it's essential to her that you prove your innocence (and again, from your account it sounds as though she is being WAY over-the-top about this) then perhaps she's benefit from some of the info here: How To Tell If Your Partner Is Spying On You
Again: Her behavior demonstrates a huge lack of trust in you and your relationship, and should be seen as a big bright red flag.

I think that the best solution for this problem is to forget about a smartphone and buy a phone with buttons without any google and apple stores. Or you can tell your girl that if you want to spy on her phone you must install some apps on her phone as I've read here https://celltrackingapps.com/spy-on-girlfriends-text-messages-free/. If you have so many problems that is based on such simple things, why do you live together. I think that this story must be solved right now because this psychosis will grow in the future.

Dude, I would break up with her instantly. LMAO, she will tell me which apps to install and which services to use. F that. She knows nothing about phones. I've been flashin' custom ROMs since 2014 while she used daddy's iPhones. Jesus Christ.
I imagined that I was in your situation, added a bit of spice to it xD. No offense to you and your gf.

Ditch her, fast. Jealousy only gets worse.
