I think this is one of the biggest steps in recent memory to advance the professionalism of LabVIEW as a programming language: announced today, the LabVIEW software validation tools are now included with the developer suite! This means that anyone who purchases or renews their license for Developer Suite now has access to the following products at no additional charge: LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit, LabVIEW Unit Test Framework, and the LabVIEW Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit. Read more about this announcement here.

One thing you can do is come up with defined status labels. For example: Under Review Review Ended etc. Then you can put these as tags in the OP. Then you can use that tag as a prefix. Tagging is a new LAVA feature BTW.

I love the new site -- simple and clean design. More LAVA, less blabla.

Not sure I'll be able to make that clear, but when you hit a drum, a bell (or any object actually), it emits a sound composed of a series of frequencies which are the eigenfrequencies. Those frequencies depends on many things like the material the object is made of or its shape. (That's why a small bell sounds differently than a large one). Now, there is no unique dependence between shape and frequency: 2 different shapes can produce the same sounds. And I guess that's waht your book tried to say by "you cannot hear the shape of a drum". (although you could hear if it is broken or not by looking at harmonics, but I won't go there). hope that's help...

Jim has a nice one; http://lavag.org/topic/14745-lava-gets-an-upgrade/page__view__findpost__p__88542 More LAVA, less blabla

Thanks! I like the user interface in Opera. It is a little more intuitive and quicker to use. That said, I use both Chrome and Opera on my phone and Firefox and Chrome on my PC (I gave up on IE9).

@Jon: This is a great plan. I think that breaking things out into separate review threads/topics for each proposed change will let people contribute as they have time. Also, if people make a significant contribution, we should be sure to include them in the copyright notice, so they receive credit for helping. Another thought is that it would be helpful if the original post gets updated with status and decisions, so that people know what stage in the process things are at. For example, after the review process is over, it should be obvious that that review/comments period for a given proposal has ended.

The basic difference of course is that a Notifier is a broadcast mechanism. If you have ten threads waiting on (listening to) the queue, and enqueue an item, then only one will stop waiting. I think it will be the one that started waiting first but I don't know whether that is guaranteed. If you have ten or ten thousand threads waiting on a notifier, they will all stop waiting and take the update. With a single element queue, you can't put any more into the queue until the first item is taken out, but with a notifier, you can put as many in as you want, and if the receiving thread or threads don't finish looping in time, they can miss notifications. There is no way for the sender to know if any or all of the recipients have received a particular notification.

I've decided to try a new improvement on the LAVA reputation system. You can still give positive reputation points to individual posts. This has not changed, however now It is called a "Like" and your name shows below the post to indicate you like it. I think this is a better way to show support and encouragement to a user's post and increases networking between community members. I "like" it!

Only foolin'. But... The DisplayLInk drivers for iPad work as advertised. You can use your iPad as an extended display under Windows... Set the iPad screen as my primary to move the Window toolbar to the iPad... http://itunes.apple....d411678720?mt=8 Install the PC client, and also install the app from iTunes (currently free!)
