SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15, 2005 — During his keynote address at the annual RSA Conference today, Bill Gates, chairman and chief software architect at Microsoft Corp., announced continued innovation and technology investments including future enhancements for safer Web browsing, such as plans for a new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP Service Pack 2 customers; expanding anti-spyware protection by including the Windows AntiSpyware technology at no additional charge as part of the Windows value proposition; edge protection technology for businesses, notably the release to manufacturing of Microsoft Internet Security & Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 Enterprise Edition; and the need for more robust anti-virus protections for collaboration and messaging, demonstrated with Microsoft’s intention to acquire Sybari Software Inc.
“Our primary goal is to improve security and safety for all our customers — consumers and businesses, regardless of size — through a balance of technology innovation, guidance and industry leadership,”
“We’re committed to continued innovation that addresses the threats of today and anticipates those that will undoubtedly emerge in the future.”
Windows XP SP2 Gains Momentum; New Browser Planned
At RSA Conference 2005, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates announces Internet Explorer 7.0, designed to add new levels of security to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Feb. 15, 2005, San Francisco. Click image for high-res version.
In August, Microsoft released Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which included major security advancements. Windows XP SP2 includes significant upgrades to Internet Explorer, incorporating a stronger security infrastructure to help thwart malicious software attacks, block suspicious content and eliminate many common spoofing attempts. Gates cited the fact that there are now more than 170 million copies of Windows XP SP2 distributed around the world, and highlighted a recent report from Web analytics firm WebSideStory Inc. that shows almost half of all computer users browsing the Web on weekends are better protected with Windows XP SP2. Businesses are also embracing Windows XP SP2: Of 800 enterprise customers recently surveyed, Microsoft has received commitments from 77 percent to deploy Windows XP SP2 over the next six months. For example, Merrill Lynch, a leading financial management and advisory company, has committed to deploying Windows XP SP2 companywide — across 50,000 desktops — by the middle of the year.
“We’re installing Windows XP SP2 companywide on over 50,000 desktops because we recognize that its security enhancements are significant. As the frequency of attacks against computer systems increases, it’s becoming critically important to have our systems protected against hackers, viruses and other security risks,”
said Joseph Martella, director of End User Computing, Product Engineering at Merrill Lynch.
Building on those advancements, Gates announced Internet Explorer 7.0, designed to add new levels of security to Windows XP SP2 while maintaining the level of extensibility and compatibility that customers have come to expect. Internet Explorer 7.0 will also provide even stronger defenses against phishing, malicious software and spyware. The beta release is scheduled to be available this summer.
Addressing the Threat of Malware
Since December, Microsoft has rolled out new capabilities to assist customers in combating malicious or unwanted software and removing it from their machines, including the beta version of Windows AntiSpyware. Customers have downloaded more than 6 million copies of Windows AntiSpyware since it became available Jan. 6, 2005. Gates announced the company’s plan for making the personal version of the final Windows AntiSpyware software available at no additional charge to licensed Windows customers as part of the Windows value proposition. The offering will offer full functionality to consumers, including the ability to detect and remove spyware, continual protection that helps guard against more than 50 ways that Web sites and programs can put spyware on a PC, and protection against the latest threats through the combined efforts of the SpyNet
community and Microsoft researchers. For business customers, with more complex infrastructure support, management and deployment needs, Microsoft plans a managed anti-spyware solution that will be available as part of a paid solution.
“Customers are concerned about the risk malware poses to their personal information, and frustrated by its impact on the reliability and performance of their computers,”
“We are responding by making security easier and more cost-effective for Windows customers, helping to protect millions of people who are vulnerable today.”
Gates also discussed how Microsoft’s security investments will help business customers better protect their systems from constantly evolving threats. Last month Microsoft began shipping a malicious software removal tool on a regular, predictable basis as part of the company’s monthly update cycle. The tool, which detects and removes a range of the most prevalent threats including the Netsky, Korgo and Zafi viruses, was rolled out Jan. 11, 2005, and has been used on more than 133 million PCs worldwide.
Gates expanded on Microsoft’s recently announced plans to acquire security vendor Sybari Software Inc., which provides solutions to help protect messaging and collaboration servers from malicious software. Gates noted that when the acquisition is closed, Microsoft intends to ship a Microsoft engine, based on the GeCAD technology acquired in 2003, as one of the multiple scanning engines supported by Sybari’s flagship Antigen software. Gates further noted that the Microsoft engine would also be integrated into a broad consumer offering by the end of this year.
Streamlining Software Updates
Gates highlighted Microsoft’s efforts to promote the computing ecosystem and infrastructure that allows customers to keep software current with the latest security updates. As a result of these efforts, there was a 400 percent increase in the number of PCs that are being automatically updated by customers using Software Update Services and Windows Update in 2004. To further simplify the update process, Gates announced that a beta version of Microsoft Update, a unified update service for consumers and small businesses that includes technologies such as Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server
2003, Office 2003 and Exchange Server 2003, is scheduled for release in mid-March. Microsoft Update will consolidate the latest security and reliability updates in one convenient location. In addition, Gates confirmed that the final version of a complimentary service designed for midsize and larger enterprises, Windows Update Services, will be available in the first half of 2005. Windows Update Services will enable system administrators to more quickly obtain updates for a wider array of Microsoft applications and distribute them across their networks.
In addition, Gates announced that version 2.0 of the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA), a tool to help identify common security misconfigurations, will be available in the same timeframe as Windows Update Services, and will work seamlessly with Windows Update Services to provide consistency in scanning and deployment.
Innovation to Better Protect Networks and Sensitive Information
As part of Microsoft’s initiatives to better protect the edge of corporate networks, Gates announced the release to manufacturing of the Enterprise Edition of Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004. ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition is designed to help customers reduce risks and security-related costs by helping protect key business scenarios in the enterprise; features include more-secure remote access to essential applications for employees and partners, security-enhanced connections for branch offices to corporate headquarters, and better protections from malicious Internet traffic. The Enterprise Edition of ISA delivers improved manageability, scalability and availability.
Gates also restated Microsoft’s long-term commitment to providing customers with innovative solutions to help protect their sensitive information from unauthorized use by announcing how Service Pack 1 for Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) will enable new solutions for regulatory compliance and records management. RMS SP1 will add the ability to deploy a low-cost enterprise rights management solution without a network connection to the Internet and without an operational dependency on an external entity such as Microsoft, integration with smart-card technology for improved authentication, and more-efficient management of group definitions through stronger integrations with Active Directory service.
Comprehensive Guidance, Training and Support
Gates stressed the important role developers play in overall IT security, noting that a recent Microsoft study showed that 64 percent of developers are not confident in their ability to write secure applications. To help address that gap, he announced three worldwide initiatives:
A partnership with SPI Dynamics Inc., Fortify Software Inc., Mercury, ISSA and others on the Secure Software Forum, aimed at bringing focus to application security as a life-cycle and industrywide issue.
An effort to educate developers on threat modeling and how to write more-secure code that is based on Microsoft’s own Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) program. The SDL has been Microsoft’s approach to enhancing its software development processes to better accommodate security best practices. Microsoft has used the SDL on many products, including Windows Server 2003, SQL Server
2000 SP3, Exchange Server 2003 SP1 and the upcoming release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2 (due out in the second half of 2005) to measurably improve security. The first Microsoft operating system that implemented large portions of the SDL, Windows Server 2003, had 63 percent fewer security vulnerabilities in its first year compared to Windows 2000 Server.
A worldwide Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) program, a community of credible technology experts from around the world willing to help others, is specifically targeted at helping developers who have issues with securing applications. This outreach effort is designed to educate the developer community about writing more-secure applications, and to invite the developer community to help guide the direction of Microsoft with product feedback and recommendations for application security.
Microsoft has made significant advancements in the security guidance and tools designed to reduce risks for customers. Over the past year, it has provided security training to more than 750,000 IT professionals, developers and partners around the world.
Partnering With the Industry, Government and Law Enforcement
Gates also described how Microsoft continues to partner with governments, law enforcement agencies and industry partners worldwide to address the key societal challenges of IT security. Microsoft actively supports domestic policy initiatives that target criminal and dishonest behavior that compromises the safety and privacy of online data. Microsoft also supports international efforts to enhance the ability of law enforcement to catch and punish online criminals who prey on consumers and businesses.
Microsoft’s Internet Safety Enforcement team continues its collaboration with other technology companies, law enforcement agencies and state attorneys general to combat the proliferation of illegal spam. Already in 2005, Microsoft helped the Texas attorney general target the world’s fourth-largest spammer, and partnered with pharmaceutical industry leader Pfizer Inc. to bring lawsuits against other global spam rings that engage in illegal practices.
To help parents and teachers improve children’s safety online, Microsoft has partnered with AMD, McAfee Inc., NetZero Inc., Cox Communications Inc., Comcast Corp. and The Cybersmart Education Company to introduce WebWatchers, an elementary school curriculum for safe computing. Nearly 13,000 school districts across the United States serving 4.6 million students have the opportunity to take advantage of this program, which was released in early February.
Microsoft has funded and collaborated with Interpol and the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children to conduct six four-day training sessions on computer-facilitated crimes against children. The sessions have trained more than 570 officials from 67 countries worldwide in sessions hosted in Hong Kong; Zagreb, Croatia; Lyon, France; Cape Town, South Africa; San Jose, Costa Rica; and Bucharest, Romania.
“Security remains a top priority for Microsoft,”
“Technology’s full potential can be realized only when customers are able to securely deploy solutions, and the entire community works in partnership to foil attacks by hackers and criminals.”

The Perfect Poison
1:30 PM, Friday 25 May 2018 (1 hour 30 minutes)
Is it possible to create a poison that will kill only the target, no matter who else is exposed? Genetic engineering and personalized medicine may well collide in a perfect storm of individually targeted weapons rather than cures. What genetic markers would be most useful? What if you can target families or ethnic groups?

Originguard smiled faintly and reported, “That’s ideal. You’re very clever. Over the last Doomsday Conflict, a persons race’s alchemy path powerhouses brought us huge troubles. If they are not for people couple of aged fellows, regularly providing medicinal capsules, we wouldn’t have been unsuccessful by any means. Hence, this ancestor naturally won’t overlook this chance that only occurs once in the light blue moon. It is only a disgrace that considering it now, this ancestor manufactured way too much of a hassle above absolutely nothing.”
Everybody was surprised, getting speechless.
On the other hand, some aged fellows with very high seniority possessed evidently heard of this thing well before, each considered one of their expression becoming very awful.
The identity sounded horrifying, but without truly experiencing such a challenge, who would really pay attention to this label.
“Is this the divine race? They don’t have society energy at all! So what on earth they are really working with is the potency of Incredible Dao!”
And also in this simple while, either side were actually previously fighting in special quarters, clas.h.i.+ng together.
Treatment Ancestor’s gaze changed slightly sullen in which he explained in a very freezing speech, “Who on earth can be your esteemed personal? Should you still don’t say it, this ancestor will likely be impolite!”
Originguard smiled faintly and reported, “Looks such as you all currently fully grasp what’s the divine competition. My divine competition could be the race decided on through the heavens only cultivating Divine Dao! Before the past epoch, it possessed for ages been our divine race ruling the Heavenspan Community. Regardless if your human being competition, demon race, or any other backrounds, that you were all our slaves! And now, we are intending to have back all that we misplaced!”
Although at the moment, the abyss monsters’ primary influx assault also emerged.
The explosion looks lingered on incessantly. Screams associated up collectively.
While the divine race’s powerhouses went substantially more without declaring.

Nonetheless, some ancient fellows with excellent seniority acquired evidently been told about it right before, just about every amongst their expressions becoming very awful.
Medication Ancestor possessed a stunned confront because he mentioned, “You … Who the h.e.l.l are you?”
One influx of episode after one other fired in the audience neat and tidily, and increased away.

At the Byteland State University marks are strings of the same length. Mark x is considered better than y if string y is lexicographically smaller than x.

Recently at the BSU was an important test work on which Vasya recived the mark a. It is very hard for the teacher to remember the exact mark of every student, but he knows the mark b, such that every student recieved mark strictly smaller than b.

Vasya isn't satisfied with his mark so he decided to improve it. He can swap characters in the string corresponding to his mark as many times as he like. Now he want to know only the number of different ways to improve his mark so that his teacher didn't notice something suspicious.

More formally: you are given two strings a, b of the same length and you need to figure out the number of different strings c such that:

1) c can be obtained from a by swapping some characters, in other words c is a permutation of a.

2) String a is lexicographically smaller than c.

3) String c is lexicographically smaller than b.

For two strings x and y of the same length it is true that x is lexicographically smaller than y if there exists such i, that x1 = y1, x2 = y2, ..., xi - 1 = yi - 1, xi < yi.

Since the answer can be very large, you need to find answer modulo 109 + 7.


I have written "the crash is due to out of bound accesses" which can be fixed by those changes (with %79), in the sense that the crash does not happen anymore when those bounds are enforced and therefore it proves in my eyes that those specific calls are the culprit. period.
I hope this is an issue with language barrier, because if it isn't, you're digging a whole for yourself. Those are not "calls" - they are array accesses. They are not the "culprit" for any definition of the word. The fact that they crash is a symptom. The culprit causing out-of-bound accesses is probably miles away. This is what I jokingly call "forensic debugging" at work. You can easily see that things aren't as they should be, but the trick is working backwards to discover what got them into that state. It isn't easy.
Also, %79 doesn't do what you want, anyway: that produces a number in the range 0..78 so attempting to access the last element in the array would wrap around to the first. You want %80 if anything, but as everyone has already mentioned, it's an expensive non-fix for an issue elsewhere. Treating the symptom doesn't cure the disease.


You are given two circles. Find the area of their intersection.


You are given two integers $$$n$$$ and $$$k$$$. You are asked to choose maximum number of distinct integers from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$ so that there is no subset of chosen numbers with sum equal to $$$k$$$.

A subset of a set is a set that can be obtained from initial one by removing some (possibly all or none) elements of it.

I'm trying to make a mechanic where if someone right clicks a slime of any size with an empty bottle it'll not only fill the bottle but also decrease the slime's size.
However, as shown below, this doesn't work when adding other else-if statements and will ALWAYS despawn the slimes regardless of sizing. Does anybody know what could be causing this issue?
I should also note; i've already tried changing the less than or equal to parameter on the last elseif statement but it still doesn't work.


The Maestro Project Server (which includes Continuum and Archiva) allows project teams to consistently ensure the health of the code through continuous integration. By default, the Maestro Project Server checks hourly for any changes in a project's source files and automatically re-builds for you.
Typically, the Maestro Project Server is installed on a server, not your local system. For the purposes of the Jetty demonstration, we are using a local file system as SCM so the demonstration does not require installation of other, external programs. The downside of that is that the Maestro Project Server will always think the sources have changed and re-build.
This section will guide you through adding and building the Jetty project in the Maestro Project server.
To add Jetty to the Maestro Project Server:
Note: If the Maestro process is running, but you cannot display the page in your browser, it may be due to a port conflict. If Maestro automatically started during installation and there was already another process listening on port 8080, then you need to reconfigure Maestro's port number. Please see the Section titled Changing the Maestro Project Server's Port Number in the Maestro Project Server User Guide.
You must be logged in as a user that has been granted the right to add projects. By default the "admin" user has those rights. Please refer to the Maestro Project Server User Guide for help in creating/logging in as an administrator or as a user with the correct privileges.
You can manually set the FILE protocol by editing [maestro_home]\projectserver\apps\continuum\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\plexus\application.xml.
Make sure that the <allowedScheme>file</allowedScheme> tag is present and not commented out.
You need to restart Maestro Project Server for the changes to take effect.
Ways to Add a Project Group
1. While in the Show Project Groups screen, click Add Project Group.
2. On the Add Project Group screen (see figure below), fill in the following information and click Save:
3. Continue with step 10, below.
Where: [maestro_home] is the directory in which you installed the Maestro Project Server.
Selection from Project Group pull-down menu
|You manually defined the project group,||Select the project group name you had created for the Jetty project (in our example above this was Jetty Server Project).|
|You want the POM to define the project group,||Select Defined by POM.|
By specifying the parent POM we automatically added all the modules by aggregation. Without the parent POM you would have to add the projects individually.

OpenSSO server uses HTTP(S) to send change notifications to other servers and also to remote clients that have registered for changes. The implementation uses java.net.URLConnection, a common issue faced with it was the extraordinarily long read timeout when receiving end was not alive. Luckily J2SE 5.0 provides a solution by exposing a method setReadTimeout. OpenSSO uses this method to set the timeout and the configuration parameter that must be set correctly in OpenSSO:
com.sun.identity.url.readTimeoutThis property could be set as an Advanced property in "Servers and Sites" Configuration tab and the value should be in milliseconds.

You are given a box full of mirrors. Box consists of grid of size n × m. Each cell of the grid contains a mirror put in the shape of '\' or ' / ' (45 degree to the horizontal or vertical line). But mirrors in some cells have been destroyed. You want to put new mirrors into these grids so that the following two conditions are satisfied:

1. If you put a light ray horizontally/vertically into the middle of any unit segment that is side of some border cell, the light will go out from the neighboring unit segment to the segment you put the ray in.
2. each unit segment of the grid of the mirror box can be penetrated by at least one light ray horizontally/vertically put into the box according to the rules of the previous paragraph

After you tried putting some mirrors, you find out that there are many ways of doing so. How many possible ways are there? The answer might be large, so please find the result modulo prime number MOD.

Snakebite is the second neglected tropical killer being responsible for over 100,000 human deaths and 400,000 victims of disability and disfigurement globally every year.
Snakebite mostly affects poor and rural communities in developing and emerging countries, where both snakebite is more frequent and access to life-saving healthcare (e.g. antivenom) is limited or absent. Sub-Saharan Africa and South and South-East Asia are among the most affected areas of the world, but China is also suffering with more than 4,000 deaths every year.

Are you dealing with a debt collector who won’t leave you alone? Do they call you day and night and embarrass you at work? Before you contemplate filing bankruptcy to stop the unwanted contact, learn more about how the law protects you as an indebted consumer.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
All consumers are protected by the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Any third-party debt collector that ignores your debt dispute, keeps calling you after being asked to stop, or uses any of these actions to make you pay can be fined and even closed down.
- Swearing and using profane language
- Calling at all hours of the day and night
- Refusal to provide you with information about the debt
- Ignoring a formal cease communications request
- Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
- Discussing the debt with your family, friends, and co-workers
Company Profile: PYOD, LLC
If you are being called by PYOD, LLC, you can learn more about the company below.
PYOD, LLC is a debt buyer located in Greenville, South Carolina.
It was founded in 2007, employs 25 people, and is managed by Bryan K. Faliero. It outsources purchased debts to Resurgent Capital Services for collection. An inspection of civil litigation records at the PACER website suggests that consumers who believed they were being harassed by PYOD, LLC filed lawsuits to hold the company accountable.
Alleged Violations against PYOD, LLC
According to PACER, on or around January 3, 2018, PYOD, LLC allegedly sent a collection letter to a Texas consumer through an agent. It stated, in part:
The law limits how long you can be sued on a debt. Because of the age of your debt, PYOD LLC will not sue you for it and PYOD LLC will not report it to any credit reporting agency.
Notwithstanding the fact that the debt was time-barred, PYOD, LLC requested payment for it and even offered payment arrangements.
Feeling harassed by PYOD, LLC, the consumer hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for the following alleged FDCPA violations:
- Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
- Misrepresenting the legal status of the debt
- Threatening legal action not intended to be taken
The matter was later dismissed.
Hire a Consumer Lawyer
The phone number for this collection agency is 1-888-665-0374. If you see it on your caller ID, you’re being called by PYOD, LLC. If they try to make you pay a debt barred by statute, don’t be intimidated. Hire a consumer lawyer and file a claim against PYOD, LLC for violating your rights. If you win, you could receive $1000 per FDCPA violation plus your legal costs, so stand firm and make the company pay you instead.
*Case taken from PACER (www.pacer.gov). File number is Case 3:18-cv-00963-D from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.
The content of this article serves only to provide information and should not be constructed as legal advice. If you file a claim against PYOD, LLC, or any other third-party collection agency, you may not be entitled to any compensation.


This quest is built of 3 parts. The first person to complete part 1 will cause the reveal of part 2 to everyone when/if they complete part 2. Same with part 3.
Part 1: Build a spider web.
Part 2 revealed by Faceless: Capture an image of a real spider on your web.
You can build it out of any materials you like. No drawings, only builds.
Please take and post a photo of your spider web and ensure there is a piece of paper in the image with your MD name and the date on it.
Prizes depend on how you play.
Part 3 is a live event and will be held sometime from the 28th of October. If nobody reaches part 3 by then...that part won't happen.
I'm looking for people to host/organise quests for this coming Halloween (31st October), if you are interested, please let me know and I will add you to the ongoing discussion.
As the 31st is a Monday, I was wondering which of the three options would the majority of public prefer; quests held/beginning on the Friday, Sat and Sunday before Halloween (28th,29th & 30th), just the Monday (31st) or for the entire week commencing 31st?
A few of the quests planned already will take longer than a day to complete, so quests that can be completed in shorter time-spans would be greatly appreciated!
If you require help organising/planning or sponsoring quests for halloween, feel free to give me a message!

I wanted to bring up something I though has been a little unfair in the Heads Contest. I have been told it is unfair anyways, but hey. I thought this overstepped a little, and I wanted to bring it up. The problem I have seen is certain people, who are not in the Heads Contest, interfering with how it is running. This is mainly happening in two ways.
One, as far as I heard, people from outside the competition should not be able to take the heads of those in the competition. This has happened twice to me, and is in fact the only times I have lost heads. The first was from an attack by Eon, and then the next in one of the attacks from a group of other people. I wouldn't normally care, except that in both cases I lost all my heads. I would count this more as a bug, or perhaps a problem with BHC competitions going at the same time.
The second, and what I consider the more problematic and disturbing, is the use of certain spells and powers to influence the competition by people who are not participating. This one I have included the below screenshots for, to show proof of an event that happened today. It says in the Heads Contest page that the leaders will most probably hide, and we certainly were hiding, preserving our heads. But someone, which by the screenshots and information I have been told is most likely dst, teleported the leaders to the Gazebo of Equilibrium, where we promptly got beaten and our heads taken by people not in the competition. Beyond how this affects the scores of the people, it also artificially lengthens the competition, because we cannot advance and get to stage 2 as fast with less heads.
Here are the screenshots, with the spell, the server times, and the UID of the person who casted the spell circled (I have been told the UID is dst)
What are people's opinions of this? I know many consider the competition a joke because of certain fighters not being able to fight, since they have won, but shouldn't the competition still be followed instead of playing with the competitors like this? I also thought that spells weren't even allowed. I am genuinely interested in people's opinions and if there are in fact rules that are being broken.
Ok, there's this fugitive fellow called smoothbeauty (mp4) who can gain heads but cannot be attacked.
Probably a bug. Dst prompted me to report it here and also send an email to the Council, which I did.
Here's the topic that got this started: [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11603-a-fugitive-contestant/page__pid__103018#entry103018"]http://magicduel.inv...018#entry103018[/url]

I’m writing some blog entries that show how to write tests for non trivial pieces of code. This is part 1.
The code that we’re going to test is
CCallbackTimer. This is a class that lives in our Win32Tools library. It’s used by users of our SocketTools library. The class provides a very light-weight timer manager that gets around the various issues we had with using standard Win32 timers.
The timer is designed to be used in vast quantities. Let’s have a timer, or two, for each connection and let’s have 10,000 connections… Because of this we wanted the timer to be something that we could create lots of without caring.
The threading rules and potential ‘weight’ of WaitableTimers meant that they weren’t of use to us.
The fact that we needed to support NT 4 and Windows 95/98 meant that we couldn’t use TimerQueues, which is a pity because they’re otherwise a pretty good match.
The class implements a timer queue. Timers are placed on the queue and the class deals with making sure they’re kept in the correct order (soonest first). A thread sleeps for as long as is necessary for the first timer and then wakes up and calls a user supplied callback function. The thread then goes back to sleep until the next timer expires. You can cancel and reset timers before they go off and you can pass user data to the callback function.
The code is less than ideal. It was written during a fairly high pressure phase of a project and that shows. I feel it’s a bit too complicated for its own good and there’s been a known bug in the code since the start.
The current complexity and the bug is why we’re interested in writing tests. We want a test that proves the existence of the bug so that we can fix the bug and make the test pass. We’d like to have additional tests in place before we do that so that we can make sure that we don’t break any of the existing functionality when we fix the bug.
The class is reasonably cohesive (it does just one thing) and at first sight doesn’t appear to be too highly coupled to other concepts; it only uses basic types and its own handle type in its function signatures. However when we tried to break the code out into the smallest project that would compile we discovered that it uses a surprising number of other classes to get its work done.
The Win32Tools library is generally where we keep code that makes Win32 primitives a little easier to use; we have events, threads, critical sections, a wide/narrow string that is the correct width depending on your
UNICODE settings, etc. The callback timer uses a thread object because it runs in its own thread, it uses a critical section to allow correctly syncronised access to its data structures, an auto reset event so that the thread can wait for the next timeout and yet still be controllable if we want to shut down the timer queue. The code that the callback timer object uses directly also uses other code; most things throw one of our standard exception types and most things use
_tstring for strings. This isn’t too bad really since all of these things live in the same library and the user of
CCallbackTimer doesn’t really have to understand many of them to use
The class also uses another library; our C++Tools library. This was originally seen as a place to keep stuff that isn’t platform specific and yet isn’t specific to any particular business need. We found there wasn’t that much that fell into this category; or at least we’ve been less aggressive at refactoring and harvesting this kind of code. The callback timer object uses
CNodeList from this library.
CNodeList is our home grown invasive doubly linked list. It’s used in the callback timer because when we want to cancel or reset a timer we have direct access to the node in the list and thus removals are simple. I’d really like to be rid of this dependency…
So, there we have it. The code that we’re intending to test can be downloaded from here. I’m presenting them in ‘lowest common denominator’ format, i.e. VC 6 projects, since I can’t be bothered to maintain 3 project file formats and all of the later tools will load and convert the earlier projects. Load the Win32Tools.dsw workspace and you’re away.
Now on to the bug: The callback timer uses
GetTickCount() to work out when now is and when its timers need to go off. It uses absolute times in milliseconds from the
GetTickCount() time continuum. It does this because when a timer goes off it needs to work out how long it needs to sleep for it and simply say the next timer is due in
(absolute time of next timer - now) milliseconds. Unfortunately
GetTickCount() wraps from a big number to 0 every 49.7 days and the code we have ignores this fact; assuming that ’later’ is always bigger. The code is broken in several places, the breaks are reasonably easy to fix, but proving that the code is broken and writing a test to expose the break is non trivial.
In the next posting we’ll write the first test.


OnePlus One updates coming?........
Hey guys, Just wondering if you're still planning on finishing the Oneplus One port. The gps still doesn't work and apparently its riddled with bugs still without any updates to its git repo in about a year, there's even a 2 month old post about it that has gone unanswered for quite some time. I get that you're busy and have other matters to attend too I just want to know if I should give up hope about ever having a polished finished version of the port to try or use as a daily driver.
It was so disheartening how so soon after the OnePlus One's release OnePlus and Cyanogen decided to mess around with the consumers who supported them and ended up pulling the Official long term CyanogenMod support. Especially when you look at the selling points which were the mobile specs, that fancy official CM support and the future option of "apparently" being easy to port and experiment with projects just like this one. So when you announced you were porting the OnePlus One it was like a perfect storm of hype, hopefulness, and delusional expectation.
I can hardly blame you for having other priorities especially with the future 'snaps' work that may be ahead of you. I just would like to know if its a reasonable expectation that we'll have a polished up-to-date version of ubuntu touch to use before its time for us to start looking at upgrading our mobile machines.
Anyways thank you for the hard work you've put into ubports in general, its important that there is room in the mobile OS market for Open-source development especially in light of 'The internet of things' coming out of the commercial pipeline. I hope you have good luck with you're future work.


Do a quick Google search for “password hacking software”, and you will be shocked (and maybe appalled) at how many people sell programs design to crack your passwords and hack your accounts. You’ll also find questions from people around the world asking, “what are the best ways to hack someone’s password?” These are the people you need to protect yourself against.
Here are the top cybersecurity factors to make a strong password and accessing your accounts:
This takes extra work on your part, for sure. But imagine what would happen if a hacker cracked just one of your passwords—a password that you use to access several different accounts. The hacker would now be free to sign in to any of the accounts using that password. Don’t make a hacker’s job any easier!
If it’s in the dictionary, it’s a real word, and it doesn’t belong in your passwords. There is an entire method of password hacking called “dictionary attack” that exploits people’s tendency to use dictionary words in their passwords.
Turn off automatic passwords, auto-login, and password storage on your web browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) Any password stored in this way can be hacked.
Don’t store any important passwords in the cloud, for the same reason as #7. Online storage is easily hacked into.
Don’t log in to important accounts on shared computers (your home-family computer is fine, as long as you trust everyone at home). This includes library computers, shared office computers, etc. The same goes for public internet connections, like a public wifi hotspot at a coffee shop, web proxies, free VPN, or Tor.
Encrypt and store your passwords in a few different locations. That way, if you lose access to your computer or account, you can get your passwords back quickly and easily.

Have you ever been on a pentest, or troubleshooting a customer issue, and the "next step" was to capture packets on a Windows host? Then you find that installing winpcap or wireshark was simply out of scope or otherwise not allowed on that SQL, Exchange, Oracle or other host? It used to be that this is when we'd recommend installing Microsoft's Netmon packet capture utility, but even then lots of IT managers would hesitate about using the "install" word in association with a critical server. Well, as they say in networking (and security as well), there's always another way, and this is that way.
"netsh trace" is your friend. And yes, it does exactly what it sounds like it does.
Type "netsh trace help" on any Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 or newer box, and you'll see the following:
C:\>netsh trace help
The following commands are available:
Commands in this context:
? - Displays a list of commands.
convert - Converts a trace file to an HTML report.
correlate - Normalizes or filters a trace file to a new output file.
diagnose - Start a diagnose session.
dump - Displays a configuration script.
help - Displays a list of commands.
show - List interfaces, providers and tracing state.
start - Starts tracing.
stop - Stops tracing.
Of course, in most cases, tracing everything on any production box is not advisable - especially if it's your main Exchange, SQL or Oracle server. We'll need to filter the capture, usually to a specific host IP, protocol or similar. You can see more on this here:
netsh trace show capturefilterhelp
One of the examples in this output shows you how t o e.g. 'netsh trace start capture=yes Ethernet.Type=IPv4 IPv4.Address=18.104.22.168'
You could also add Protocol=TCP or UDP and so on..
Full syntax and notes for netsh trace can be found here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878517
For instance, the following session shows me capturing an issue with a firewall that I'm working on. Note that you need admin rights to run this, the same as any capture tool. In a pentest you would likely specify an output file that isn't in the users' directory.
C:\>netsh trace start capture=yes IPv4.Address=192.168.122.2
Trace File: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\NetTraces\NetTrace
Max Size: 250 MB
When you are done capturing data, it's time to stop it:
C:\> netsh trace stop
Correlating traces ... done
Generating data collection ... done
The trace file and additional troubleshooting information have been compiled as
File location = C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\NetTraces\NetTrace.etl
Tracing session was successfully stopped.
The cool thing about this is that it doesn't need a terminal session (with a GUI, cursor keys and so on). If all you have is a metasploit shell, netsh trace works great!
If this is a capture for standard sysadmin work, you can simply copy the capture over to your workstation and proceed on with analysis. If this is a pentest, a standard copy might still work (remember, we're on a Microsoft server), but if you need netcat type function to exfiltrate your capture, take a look at PowerCat (which is a netcat port in PowerShell).
Next, open the file (which is in Microsoft's ETL format) in Microsoft's Message Analyzer app - which you can install on your workstation rather than the server we ran the capture on ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44226 ). Message Analyzer has a surprisingly nice interface and some decent packet parsing, you might be able to wrap up your analysis just in this tool (see below).
If you do need another packet analysis tool, it's easy to a File / Save As / Export, and save as a PCAP file that Wireshark, tcpdump, SNORT, ngrep, standard python or perl calls, or any other standard tool can read natively.
Or you can convert to PCAP using PowerShell (of course you can). A short, simple script to do this might look like:
$s = New-PefTraceSession -Path “C:\output\path\spec\OutFile.Cap” -SaveOnStop
$s | Add-PefMessageProvider -Provider “C:\input\path\spec\Input.etl”
$s | Start-PefTraceSession
This Powershell cmdlet is not available in Windows 7 - you'll need Windows 8, or Server 2008 or newer
(This script was found at http://blogs.technet.com/b/yongrhee/archive/2013/08/16/so-you-want-to-use-wireshark-to-read-the-netsh-trace-output-etl.aspx )
If 'netsh trace' has solved an interesting problem for you, or was the tool that got you some interesting data in a pentest, please, use our comment form to let us know how you used it (within your NDA of course!)


Game studio "DbZ Games" wants to introduce another map in their popular game "Valiant". This time, the map named "Panvel" will be based on the city of Mumbai.

Mumbai can be represented as $$$n \times m$$$ cellular grid. Each cell $$$(i, j)$$$ ($$$1 \le i \le n$$$; $$$1 \le j \le m$$$) of the grid is occupied by a cuboid building of height $$$a_{i,j}$$$.

This time, DbZ Games want to make a map that has perfect vertical gameplay. That's why they want to choose an $$$l \times l$$$ square inside Mumbai, such that each building inside the square has a height of at least $$$l$$$.

Can you help DbZ Games find such a square of the maximum possible size $$$l$$$?

A sequence of positive integers is called great for a positive integer $$$x$$$, if we can split it into pairs in such a way that in each pair the first number multiplied by $$$x$$$ is equal to the second number. More formally, a sequence $$$a$$$ of size $$$n$$$ is great for a positive integer $$$x$$$, if $$$n$$$ is even and there exists a permutation $$$p$$$ of size $$$n$$$, such that for each $$$i$$$ ($$$1 \le i \le \frac{n}{2}$$$) $$$a_{p_{2i-1}} \cdot x = a_{p_{2i}}$$$.

Sam has a sequence $$$a$$$ and a positive integer $$$x$$$. Help him to make the sequence great: find the minimum possible number of positive integers that should be added to the sequence $$$a$$$ to make it great for the number $$$x$$$.


NPCs are scripted where the main elements are perceptions that represents events in the soundings of the NPC. The NPC has a set of reactions that decide if the NPC will react to a perception. The reaction that start a behavior that is a set of operations the NPC will perform. Some NPCs work together in tribes, see Tribe Scripting for details.

What ‘Your SVG is too complex’ means
You’ve imported an SVG that has more than 120 elements and groups in it.
The app might work seamlessly even if the SVG is too complex, but in case you are finding it difficult and laggy to work with, you should try to simplify the file. You can read more about how to prepare your file here: Illustrator or Sketch.
Still got questions? Send us an email to email@example.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.


The card you are talking about is nearly a decade old and from well before ATI was bought by AMD back in '06... doesn't make sense to hold a grudge that long imo especially if it means avoiding a product that better fits your needs.
Oh no I am not holding a grudge, just wary. Every ATI card I had in the old days had really bad drivers (Rage Pro, 9600 Pro) etc. I need a very stable system. I cannot have BSOD in the middle of working. I need to be sure before I invest in 3 monitors and a 6970 card. That is at least $800.
Eyefinity is a good tech. If it works then I will be a happy camper.


You are given an array $$$a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$$$ consisting of integers such that $$$a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_n = 0$$$.

You have to rearrange the elements of the array $$$a$$$ so that the following condition is satisfied:

$$$$$$\max\limits_{1 \le l \le r \le n} \lvert a_l + a_{l+1} + \ldots + a_r \rvert < \max(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n) - \min(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n),$$$$$$ where $$$|x|$$$ denotes the absolute value of $$$x$$$.

More formally, determine if there exists a permutation $$$p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n$$$ that for the array $$$a_{p_1}, a_{p_2}, \ldots, a_{p_n}$$$, the condition above is satisfied, and find the corresponding array.

Recall that the array $$$p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n$$$ is called a permutation if for each integer $$$x$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$ there is exactly one $$$i$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$ such that $$$p_i = x$$$.


We have decided to phase out the Mixed Reality Forums over the next few months in favor of other ways to connect with us.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
The plan between now and the beginning of May is to clean up old, unanswered questions that are no longer relevant. The forums will remain open and usable.
On May 1st we will be locking the forums to new posts and replies. They will remain available for another three months for the purposes of searching them, and then they will be closed altogether on August 1st.
So, where does that leave our awesome community to ask questions? Well, there are a few places we want to engage with you. For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality. If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers. And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.
Can not show webcam from openCV on Hololens.
Hello, I'm the beginner of programming and openCV. I have to build my own library based on OpenCV and use it on Hololens.
I have a very short time to work on it. So I have started with many samples from many websites.
I can build the library and use it in Unity from the sample but I cannot show it on hololens
Now, I'm trying to show webcam like this sample on the hololens. https://youtube.com/watch?v=vUviuj8KcQM&t=781s
It showed on unity but It didn't show on hololens. Just the cube showed on the hololens.
I think I have to write the script to show this webcam texture from openCV on Hololens but I have no idea. It's very complicated for me.
I would like to ask how to show this webcam texture from openCV on Hololens?
I would like to ask your suggestion where should I start to learn OpenCV, C++, C# and Unity + hololens in short time.
Sorry for my poor English and programming.

Sports team calendars have been a long-time feature of Google Calendar. The ability to sync those calendars to mobile, however, has been absent equally as long. Until now, that is.
If you sync any sports calendars with your GCal, you now have the option to also sync those up on mobile. They should show up under the "calendars to display" menu - if not, make sure to refresh your calendars and check again. You may have to jump into the "calendars to sync" sub-menu and enable it there first. Kind of unintuitive and superfluous, I know.
They're a bit easier to find on tablets, however - just jump right into Settings and select the appropriate account. All your available calendars should show up there; if not, a quick refresh should do the trick.
This also syncs up the score afterwards, so if you happen to miss the game, you'll still be able to catch the final.
I'm pretty happy to see this feature show up on mobile, especially with the NBA regular season starting up later this month. Now it'll be even easier to watch the Heat take the trophy two years in a row.


In this data-driven era, a chunk of data is producing from multifarious devices. A plethora of statistics has claimed that 2.5 million terabytes of data are generated every single day from 6 billion devices. By 2020, more devices will be connected and it is estimated that nearly 30 million terabytes of data will generate every day.
The aspirants who want to make a scintillating career in the field of data science must be astonished to know this fact. So, a data scientist is a very demanding profession and the USA leads in the market of data science. India has also a potential market for data science and it is expected that by 2025, the Big Data analytics sector in India will grow eight fold.
Here, we are going to describe some astounding facts about data science that you never know.
Should have a statistical knowledge: If you want to learn data science, then you must have a comprehensive knowledge of statistics. Matrix calculations, derivatives, determinants, Set Theory, functions, vectors, linear transformations, etc. are very important if you want to learn data science. You should have a clear concept and theory behind all the statistical methods and programming.
Learn programming languages: Apart from learning statistics for data science, you also need to learn different programming languages if you want to shine as a data scientist. In the field of data science, R is one of the most popular programming languages. If you have an inadequate knowledge of R, then you can’t establish yourself as an eminent and dexterous data scientist. Apart from R, you also know Python which is another promising language in data science. These programming languages are very important along with statistics for data science.
Salary of a data scientist: Data science salary is much higher than any other IT professionals. Moreover, you will get numerous job opportunities if you are in the field of data science. As per indeed.com, the average salary of a data mining engineer is $152,173 per year. According to Glassdoor, the average salary of a data analyst is $ 60,000 per year. The average annual salary of a data architect in the USA is nearly $129,194. Data science salary is quite lucrative and that’s why many young IT aspirants are choosing data science as their career option.
Books play an important role in learning data science: If you want to learn data science online, you will be blessed with a chunk of resources like online study material, podcasts, videos, etc. which will give you a comprehensive knowledge about data science. You can even join some communities and can take help from the experts or mentors who have a proficient knowledge in this field. Apart from learning data science online, you can take help from the books specially if you want to clear the basic knowledge of data science.
Be curious: As a data scientist, you should be very curious and always try to explore different things. Read books, articles, journals, magazines, etc. to enhance your knowledge. In data science, so many things are inventing day by day. That’s why always be curious and stay updated.
Should have strong communication skills: As a data scientist, you need to interact with other departs to solve a problem. So, your communication skill is also important along with your statistical and programming knowledge. If you can’t communicate properly, then you won’t be able to understand the problem and hence, can’t deliver the right solution.
IoT is closely associated with data science: IoT is the latest entrant in the field of technology that takes data science to a significant level. IoT is all about data generation while data science generally analyses those data. If you want to become a data scientist, you also need to upgrade your skills so that you can take part in this next big technology revolution.
Start from today: If you have an aim to become an eminent data scientist, then without wasting time prepare yourself from today.
Never give up: Data science is a budding field and thus, you need to learn a lot. So, don’t give up and always stay motivated.
Assess Skills: Make use of data science test to assess your proficiency in R.
These are some facts that you should know about data science.
MORE MIND-BLOWING Truth about DATA SCIENCE
As stated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the amount of jobs for Statistics Laboratory has increased by 650 percent since 2012, and roughly 11.5 million jobs will likely be generated by 2026.
Forbes stated the function of a Data Scientist has increased by over 650 percent because of 2012. Still, only 35,000 individuals have abilities in Data Science in the united states, while hundreds of organizations are hiring for this particular function.
By IBM, an increment of 3,64,000 into 2,720,000 openings is going to be created in 2020. The need is only going to grow farther to astounding 7,00,000 openings.
Glassdoor explained an Information Scientist is your number one task on its own site. It’sIt’s analyzed the requirement for Data Laboratory increases by 28 percent in 2020 alone.
The occupation of Data Scientist positions among leading emerging projects on LinkedIn.
Greater than 0.5percent of data we produce is analyzed and employed.
A 10 percent increase in data access by Data Scientist will lead to over $65 million extra net earnings for the normal Fortune 1000 Businesses.
An array of data has promised that 2.5 million terabytes of information are created each evening from 6 billion apparatuses. By 2020, more devices will be linked. It’s projected that almost 30 million terabytes of information will create every piece of information.
The U.S. contributes to the Data Science marketplace, necessitating 190,000 Data Laboratory by the next year. India also combines this elite screenplay, requiring Information Scientist across a wide selection of businesses.
By 2025, the Data Science Analytics business in India is projected to increase eightfold, reaching 16 billion.
Statistics Scientist earns over the typical I.T. workers.
Each moment 60,000 research queries are conducted by Google and 1.2 trillion hunts each year.
70 percent of information is made by people, but businesses are saving and handling data 80 percent.
73 percent of organizations have invested or intend to invest in Big Data and Data Science.
Advertisers who leverage the complete energy of Data Science can boost their operating earnings by up to 60 percent.
There are almost as many parts of digital information since there are stars in the world.

Kleofáš is participating in an n-thlon - a tournament consisting of n different competitions in n different disciplines (numbered 1 through n). There are m participants in the n-thlon and each of them participates in all competitions.

In each of these n competitions, the participants are given ranks from 1 to m in such a way that no two participants are given the same rank - in other words, the ranks in each competition form a permutation of numbers from 1 to m. The score of a participant in a competition is equal to his/her rank in it.

The overall score of each participant is computed as the sum of that participant's scores in all competitions.

The overall rank of each participant is equal to 1 + k, where k is the number of participants with strictly smaller overall score.

The n-thlon is over now, but the results haven't been published yet. Kleofáš still remembers his ranks in each particular competition; however, he doesn't remember anything about how well the other participants did. Therefore, Kleofáš would like to know his expected overall rank.

All competitors are equally good at each discipline, so all rankings (permutations of ranks of everyone except Kleofáš) in each competition are equiprobable.


Configuring the Number of Restarts
There can be situations where a job doesn't run successfully for some reason outside of your control. Say
for example that the job downloads a file from a web site as one of its steps, and the web site is down. If
the download fails the first time, it may work if you try again in 10 minutes. However, you probably don't
want to try that download indefinitely. Because of this, you may want to configure the job so it can be
executed only five times. After the fifth time, it can't be rerun any more.
Spring Batch provides this facility at the step level instead of the job level. Again, looking at the
transactionJob example, if you only want to attempt to import an input file twice, you modify the step
configuration as in Listing 6-38.
Listing 6-38. Allowing the File Import to Be Attempted Only Once
<chunk reader="transactionFileReader" writer="transactionWriter"
In this case, if you attempt to restart this job more than once, because the start-limit attribute has
been configured to 2 , you can't reexecute this job. The initial run takes up one attempt you're allowed
allowing you one other try. You receive an
org.springframework.batch.core.StartLimitExceededException , as shown in Listing 6-39, if you attempt
to execute the job again.
Listing 6-39. Results from Reexecuting transactionJob More Than Once
2011-01-13 20:10:05,127 ERROR
[org.springframework.batch.core.job.AbstractJob] - <Encountered fatal error

Checking out the new Real Player
, along with the Real Guide
. At least RealVideo looks better than flash. DVD quality? Not!
The new player and guide are looking pretty good. Just don't click on anything! The RealPlayer jumps around on the screen like it's got a live carp up the leg of its pants...
You can't really browse around the guide while listening in the background. It's impossible to tell what will cause the player to switch titles/tracks. And how long has the iTunes music store been live?


With the OM 4 smartphone gimbal ($149), DJI continues to impress with its ability to innovate. When I first reviewed the Osmo Mobile 2, its features were impressive, but it was a massive device to have to carry just to improve your smartphone photography. With the Osmo Mobile 3, DJI addressed that issue by creating a clever folding system. However, using it was still a little painful, as you had to fiddle with the clamp each time you wanted to mount your phone. Unless you have two phones and can leave one in it, that's quite a hassle.I've been using a review unit of the new DJI OM 4 (DJI shortened up the name from Osmo Mobile to OM) for a few days now, and its new magnetic mounting system makes those worries a thing of the past.
DJI's OM 4 By the Numbers
For the most part, anyone who has used a previous generation Osmo Mobile will recognize the design and control layout of the fourth-generation device. Like the 3, the OM 4 folds nicely for compact carrying. It's actually a little more compact because it doesn't have an attached clamp.DJI's OM 4's new magnetic mount makes using a gimbal a lot simpler than with previous models.
The biggest difference is the mounting system. The OM 4 features a strong magnet that attaches either to a metal clamp you place on your phone, or for more permanent use, to a metal disk you can stick on your phone. Either is much more convenient than the previous system, and the clamp is fairly low profile, so it doesn't interfere too much with using your phone (although in my case the middle of the phone where it should go always seems to mean it covers one of the buttons a bit).
The OM 4 features a USB-C charging port, a nice change from so many accessories that still use older connectors. The device takes about 2-1/2 hours for a full charge that should last for around 15 hours of operation.DJI provides everything you need to get started using the OM 4 in the standard package. No need for a kit upsell.
Using the DJI OM 4
Like every DJI product I've used, the first step is logging in to your DJI account and downloading an app -- in this case DJI Mimo. I'm really not a big fan of requiring a login to use a camera accessory like a gimbal. It seems unnecessary and one more potential privacy exposure. Hopefully, this practice won't spread to the people who make smart triggers and other accessories. Once I logged in and opened the app, it found the OM4 instantly and paired with my Pixel 3 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro effortlessly.DJI markets the OM 4 as being designed to allow operation with one hand. Technically that's true, but you're likely to find it easier to do with one hand than the other. In my case, I found it easier to move my thumb to the appropriate controls when using my left hand (I'm left-handed, but I don't think that was why I found it easier). The stronger motor in the OM 4 meant it had an easier time balancing and moving the Huawei Mate 20 Pro I tested with it (I used it in particular because it is the same phone I used with the Mobile 3). That also meant that panoramas seemed faster, although I don't have previous times to compare the actual numbers.
DJI Mimo and the OM 4 Pack Some New TricksIn addition to all the clever pre-programmed modes found in the Mobile 3, such as ActiveTrack, the Mimo app for the OM 4 adds a "Dolly Zoom" and "Clone Me Panorama." Hyperlapse and Timelapse, which employ both the 3-axis gimbal and Electronic Image Stabilization, have been upgraded. A Sport Mode allows faster gimbal response for tracking faster-moving subjects. It also brings forward Story mode, which allows you to quickly generate videos based on one of DJI's templates. Personally, I really enjoy the Timelapse and Hyperlapse capabilities. However, if you're going to do anything exciting with them you may want to have a second phone for that purpose, especially if the project involves leaving a phone somewhere that it can be tampered with or stolen.
Panning Stabilization Remains a Strong Point
Of course, the central feature of a gimbal is how well it stabilizes. I ran a test panning across the same scene using four different setups. For the first test video I panned manually, by twisting the gimbal with my hand:

Then I switched to using the automated panning via the thumbstick. I set the thumbstick to only allow horizontal and vertical direction changes, to help keep it level. For my first test, I pushed the thumbstick all the way to the right to get a sense of how quickly you can pan (you can actually go even faster by changing the settings to accelerate it further):

Then I repeated the pan but with just a light push on the thumbstick. It's not trivial to keep a constant level of light pressure, so the motion isn't quite as smooth:

To get a slow pan with more consistent motion, I changed the settings to reduce the panning sensitivity. That allowed me to get a slow pan even with the thumbstick held all the way to the right:[embed width=640 height=360]https://youtu.be/W00jxNkfneg[/embed]
Is the DJI OM 4 For You?
Frankly, if you need a smartphone gimbal, DJI continues to innovate and produce a full-featured product at a rational price. For $149 you get the gimbal, a phone clamp, a stick-on disk for permanent attachment to a phone, a cute little mini-tripod, a charging cable, and a carrying pouch. You can get a replacement clamp for $25 and an additional disk for $19.
Within days of its launch, I received announcements from competitors priced as low as half of DJI's cost, but from past experience, they're never quite as full-featured or well supported. In my case, I have two major uses for my smartphone gimbals. The first is when filming from a boat or other motorized vehicle, where a gimbal is really essential for smooth video. The second is the Timelapse and Hyperlapse features. Combining them with a gimbal provides a much easier and more effective way to create those special effects than attempting to do them with an app and a tripod.
For many users, the editing features of Mimo and the Story mode will also be a benefit. Personally, I typically just use Mimo to control the gimbal and capture video. I then use Adobe's Premiere Rush to assemble it. I'm looking forward to some interesting projects using the OM 4. It is handy enough to take anywhere and has a wide variety of uses, including even simple ones such as helping stabilize long-exposure and low-light images.Now Read:
