Ubuntu Mouse - Review by a redditor

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjayal/5417370637/

I didn't know Canonical sold computer accessories until today. Here is the review of Ubuntu Mouse available at their store.

You know that mouse you use all the time that feels a little clicky if you slam down the button? Yeah, it's about 10x more clickier just doing a normal, light click on this mouse.
It takes about a day or two of use to get used to the wheel being on the side, but one you get used to it it feels great. It's a great combo of both precise and smooth.
I was worried about the shape being uncomfortable but I find it's the perfect size of any mouse I own. It feels great but it's also small enough to easily fit in my pocket.
I REALLY love how it uses Mini-USB to connect - absolutely no setup, no waiting times, it just works as soon as you plug it in and since it uses Mini-USB that means you likely already have devices using it so you have a spare cable or two. Honestly the shipped cable is fairly... short... but like I said, replaceable cable so you can have plenty of room for use.
The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that #1: you can't turn the lights off without unplugging it, and the lights are very noticeable in a dark room. It does however look awesome on my wall, so it'll do for now :)
Otherwise it's a great mouse, best mouse I've ever owned. If you live in Europe it's a great buy, if you live in the US and can get it cheap it's a great buy, if you live in the US and have to pay $30 total (including shipping)... well, it's worth it if you have $30 :P

    Logitech B100 Optical USB Mouse

    I chose this mouse for my laptop because it is cheap and it has good reviews. I like how it feels in my hand. It works very accurately and the pointer is not jumpy. Unbelievable that they can make this for $8.00! I enthusiastically recommend this mouse to anyone who needs a replacement.

OS/DB Migration - CMD. STR, TOC, EXT, R3load, DDLDBS.TPL and more

Image
With increasing need to improve performance or reduce costs or vanishing support for operating systems/databases it becomes inevitable to migrate to a better OS or DB. We feel take a quick look at the primary ingredients of the tools for OS/DB migration handled by R3SETUP. Tools - R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk R3ldctl creates STRucture files, TemPLate files by reading the technical settings for table/indexes in SAP data dictionary. R3szchk calculates the database size object sizes (EXTent files) for the target system based on the STR files created by R3ldctl. The EXT and STR files can be later split into smaller groups. The most crucial tool R3load is responsible for unloading and loading data from the database. R3load uses the files created by R3ldctl and R3szchk and dumps the data into compressed binary format as .001, .002 .. files. It uses cmd files to achieve the task. If the cmd files are not present, it creates on its own. Files Command files*.cmd  are creat...

Fixing Inconsistent Table - Table activation fails due to inconsistency between DD and DB

301 Redirect Using SAP Web Dispatcher

301 redirects are typically used to redirect accesses that include www to non-www or vice-versa. Example, when you call http://blogger.com, the call is redirected to www.blogger.com. An end-user may prefer to call a URL in any manner. You must ensure that all these calls are redirected to relevant URLs with content. SAP web dispatcher can be configured to send a redirect (301) to the client. To enable redirection add icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> to the web dispatcher's profile file. The parameter uses the following syntax: icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> = PREFIX=<URL prefix>[, FROM=<pattern for URL>, FROMPROT=<incoming protocol>, FOR=<pattern for host name:port>,TO=<new URL prefix>, PROT=<protocol>, HOST=<host>, PORT=<port number/name>] Let's say you want to redirect all the HTTP requests on mysource.com on 80 port to mytarget.com on HTTPS 443 port icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, FROM=*, FROMPROT=http, FOR=mysource.com:80,...
