11g R2 XE is better than DB2 Express-C 9.5 ?

I love Oracle.
I want to use Oracle.
BUT, 11g R2 XE is better than DB2 Express-C 9.5 ?
DB2 Express-C 9.5 is
CPU 2
Memory 2G
HardDisk (Data file size) inifint.
11g R2 XE is
CPU 1
Memory 1G
HardDisk (Data file size) 11G.
Why not better than IBM ?
I want that Oracle will be better than IBM.

The majority of people will choose whatever is the most popular and promises the best value for the buck. Most people don't know much about Oracle database other than it's a good product, but also the most complicated and most expensive - even if this is no longer true. I don't think a free product would hurt Oracle business, but will attract more customers, who in return make experience with the product and purchase support or other licensed software. In a perhaps similar context, software piracy has certainly not put Microsoft out of business. I agree with the OP and think Oracle might want to consider removing the tight restrictions on XE and lead the business.

Is the range of the extreme better than the express ?

IS the range of the extreme better than the express ?

My extreme seems to have better range also, although my extreme and express are located in different parts of my home. The extreme has an extra antenna, which aside from allowing a faster throughput speed, helps with range as well.

Email Set-up...something better than Outlook Express 4.5?

Happy New Year ~
I'm trying to set up about 3 email accounts on an OLD iBook Blueberry running OS 8.6. It has Outlook Express 4.5 installed on it, and though it did "take" one of the email addresses yesterday (it was able to download mail from the server, but I didn't test sending any mail out), it hasn't been able to send/receive at all today. I'm not real familiar with Outlook, so don't know if I'm missing something. I tried checking two boxes that said things like: "Requires secure SSL/POP" because I do have passwords that are involved in accessing the server account, but still nothing.
The computer did connect to the internet via ethernet and DSL, though, so that's not the problem.
Anyway -- after all this, I'm wondering if there's any simpler email program I can maybe try downloading and using? Or any other suggestions?
(I'm just spoiled, having been graced with an iBookG4 less than a year ago - my first Mac - and loving Panther and OS X..I'd love to upgrade to Tiger as soon as my budget allows)
Thanks for any and all insight.

Hi aToast...
Yikes! ...your comment brings back a lot of memories - good and bad
For some reason I do remember that you shouldn't have to check off the 'Requires Secure SSL/POP'. Aside from that just make sure you have both your incoming/outgoing 'mail server' and of course your password typed correctly.
There are other programs you could try (I remember trying others but Outlook was always the best for me) ...take a look under the 'classic apps' on the Pure-Mac site for example - http://pure-mac.com/email.html
If you could get up to os 9.2.2 then try the Mozilla Suite - that would be my pick for best classic browser and email combo.

Does the latest Time Capsule broadcast 802.11n better than original?

I'm in a 1700 sq ft house with my original 500 GB Time Capsule upstairs and a MacBook Pro unibody downstairs in the living room. With 802.11n only or 802.11n/g/b enabled on the TC, the MacBook Pro can't detect a network.
Would a new Time Capsule broadcast the 802.11n significantly better than the original in this situation?

Bob Timmons wrote:
The newer version of the Time Capsule has an "improved" antenna design that may help things a bit. But, if you have no signal now, I very much doubt that a new Time Capsule would provide you with a usable signal in your situation, given the information in your post.
Have you verified that the MacBook Pro is working correctly? Can you get a good signal when it is close to the Time Capsule?
Yes.
If things check out when the MacBook is close to the Time Capsule, then this would indicate that you have too many obstructions...walls, ceilings, etc. between the Time Capsule and the MacBook when it is downstairs.
Yes, if I set the TC to 802.11n/b/g or 802.11n only, the MacBook Pro won't see the network. If I set the TC to 802.11g only, it shows full signal strength. This isn't surprising to me, as I have an older Airport Express whose signal also could be easily picked up downstairs.
Is there such a difference in range between 802.11n and 802.11g?
You may want to consider an AirPort Express to position it at an approximate mid-point between the Time Capsule and downstairs so that it can "extend" the wireless signal downstairs.
To get an idea if this might work, move your MacBook to a position that is 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance from the Time Capsule to the downstairs area where you want to use the MacBook. If you can get a good signal on the MacBook at that point, this means that an AirPort Express should receive a good signal as well so that it can "extend" the wireless network.
It's never possible to predict performance in advance, so if you want to try the AirPort Express, it would be a good idea to know the store's return policy in case things don't work as well as hoped.
Thanks.

Better than iMovie

I'm busy editing my 3 month holiday in South Africa with iMovie (first time - new to Mac's), but the program seems a bit limited. Is there another piece of video editing software for a Mac that's alot better than iMovie?
(I know you get the really expensive ones like Adobe, but I'm looking for something that will equal Nero 7 for Windows, maybe something a bit better or expensive)
Thanx

define 'better' ...?
iM is excellent to import from miniDV, trim&crop material, add some simple transitions & titles... that is 95% of consumer level (.. and editor's) work..
'better' in means of 'more options':
Final Cut Express
$$ (=cheaper than FCP) but a steep learning curve too ...

Why is Java better than c#. most people say c# is better

I have entered forums and end up seeing informations on c# being better than java. Pls can any body tell me what makes java better than c#. This days every one i know is now going c#. They are discoraging me to also go c#.
i am quite con fussed. The only thing that keeps me to JAVA is platform independence.

Well, I suppose you can search Google for 'C# vs java' and read an article such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C_Sharp.
However arguing which is better is best left as an exercise for developers with a lot of experience in both languages rather than those just starting out (If your just starting out, you will not use the advanced features one has over the other).
I think the market will be evenly split between both languages for quite some time. Ideally, as a professional developer you should know both well so you are more employable. For Java, I suggest getting familiar with The Eclipse IDE since its used by the bulk of Java developers. For C#, I suggest you install Visual Studio Express because its used by the bulk of C# developers (and the express version is free).
I suggest you first learn one or the other very very well and good coding practices before learning the other language to avoid mixing the two somewhat different coding styles.
I suggest learning whichever language your friends are using assuming you communicate with them about programming often (so you can help each other). If instead your on your own, I suggest you learn Java. I think you will have an easier time picking up the Object Oriented philosophy than C# because in my opinion Java is more low level coding and C# is more high level coding (ie, the advanced features it can do a lot for you). You should have a good handle on the low level concepts first. In may opinion, once you know Java well, C# is a lot easier to pick up since they are both object oriented and are very similar object oriented languages.

Hardware setup advice needed for 2 track 'better than demo' sound recording

I've enjoyed browsing the forums and seeing of the good help that people get here. Hopefully, I'll be next.
I have an accoustic guitar (Taylor 314-CE, Expression System) with onboard pre-amp, cable is 1/4 from guitar to XLR
I have a dynamic mic, with XLR to 1/4 cable
Key issues so far:
(1) lack of a mic pre-amp
Right now I've got a unidirectional dynamic mic from RadioShack that was a gift. I think it cost $50, so I know it wasn't the cheapest one in the store. Of course using it with GB and line in, you have to practically swallow the mic and turn the levels up to get anything. So I don't really know enough about it's quality yet.
(2) difficulty recording guitar
It seems like I either get clipping or not enough input, so I end up with lots of noise relative to a quiet guitar track. To avoid clipping, I have the pre-amp on the guitar set way down, and the track volume way down too. Just doesn't seem that great.
(3) one track a time
So I need a system that will allow me to record two tracks at the same time, mic and guitar (not mic'd), and I am looking for 'better than demo' sound.
Have I got this right:
Behringer UB502 ($30) would work? - since my mic is dynamic, I don't need phantom power (available on UB802 ($40)). Will I need a new mic cable, XLR to XLR, or can I use the XLR to 1/4 cable? Would an XLR to XLR be better?
How is the Behringer connected to iMac? USB? Firewire? I didn't see anything included - Do I need to purchase cabling separately?
Is the sound quality going to be good enough for Home CD quality recording? If not, to what do I have to step up to? Firepod at $600? Its track count is overkill for me, but I need good sound, too, so maybe... Or is there something in between that offers great sound and just a few inputs?
How much of a difference would a condenser mic be? Am I right that with that type of mic, I need phantom power on the (mixer / interface - which is it?) Have seen recommendations for MXL 990 ($60) and Rode NT1000 ($300).
That's about it. Hope you can help.

Nice guitar. Radio Shack mic were made by Shure not sure if they still are. A cheap mixer will just plug into the line in jack just a matter of getting the right plugs an cables. I would use a xlr cable pretty cheap from online music stores. You may want to consider a usb interface they tend to be a little cheaper then firewire check M-Audio. Condenser mic are great but they pick up everything and you should be fine with you mic you have and the fine onboard system taylor uses.

SQL Program better than SQL*Plus

Hello
Do you know any program better than SQL*Plus for Oracle Database?
I also know TOAD and SQL Navigator, is there any other
If yes where can I download it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kurt.
RoboSource Control to my knowledge hasn't been developed in recent releases. It is essentially the same product that existed years ago. It works, but does not have a lot of users. Most people, including myself, prefer to use third party products such as Perforce, SVN.
As RoboSource Control is an old product and isn't widely used, I doubt whether anyone has tried using it on SQL Server Express 2012. That is not to say it won't work on it though.

Why A is better than B/G for Voice over WLAN

Hello all,
Now this post has some questions and statements in that you guys know all about and would like your valued advise and corrections/confirmations on the points.
Why A is better than B/G for voice:
B/G is congested, ie BT, Microwaves. Lots of other WLANs etc etc etc - FACT!
More non-overlapping channels - FACT!
The scatter and reflection on A is better than B/G. The idea being, the higher the frequency, the better the scatter. Would this be correct?
Higher frequencies produce better penetration results through walls, I have read. Or is it worse. Cisco say worse in the document "2.4 GHz waveform of 802.11b and 802.11g can pass through many walls. The 5 GHz waveform of 802.11a has approximately half the tendency for a given power to transmit suitable amounts of energy through walls because of its higher frequency" Ref: enterprise mobility guide. I am a little confused on this ?
A travels thru water and other moisture better than B/G, thus damp walls, wet walls, open areas (lets say between two buildings) would handle A better than B/G?
The Fresnel Zone (clearance required of an obstacle without degrading signal) is better on the A band due to a small wavelength size. Would this be a major factor for an RF design engineer? Any more technical "dummies guide" to this subject would be good?
OFDM handles signalling shortcomings like multipath fade better that previous modulations techniques (I know that G 11Mbps and above uses this also). Anyone have an English explanation to why this is? Also, please look at the graphic attached that shows the enterprise mobility guide in chaper 3, the table. What is the difference between the modulation and transmission type as many people refer to DSSS and OFDM as "modulation" I am a little confuse by this table.
Can anyone give me any more reasons and facts, and clarify any of the points above so when someone comes to me and says, "ahh, just roll out voice on B/G" I can say well this is why not?
Many thx indeed,
Ken

You have some good questions. The main reason why people are moving voice to 802.11a is the fact that there is more congestion in the 2.4GhZ spectrum. For example in a downtown area building. There are so many wifi devices out in the 2.4Ghz along with all the other interference that you get on that spectrum. 802.11a, the 5Ghz is a shorter wavelength, so the more it is susceptible to attenuation. The lower the frequency the better the signal can travel through various materials. Look at cell phones.... they are in the 800mhz or lower spectrum and they have greater distances than higher frequencies. Another reason is that if you have guest access, you have to look at devices you need supported. There might be legacy 802.11b clients or newer clients that only support 802.11b or 802.11g. So now the 5Ghz is open which give you more bandwidth for voice.
Water is an RF killer no matter if you use 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.

Is time capsule faster than airport express

trying to decide if i should use TC as base station or if the existing airport express is just as good. that way i can put TC in more remote (protected) location

The TC is faster.. gigabit ethernet where the express is 100mbit.
Also the wireless on the TC AC model is much faster.. although a Gen4 would probably only be slightly better than Express gen2.
However the slow ethernet port on the Express means it can never be used.
So overall the Gen4 (and Gen3) are faster than Gen2 Express..
Whether that all matters comes down to your network speed.. for instance if your max internet speed is 50/5 then express is perfectly capable of handling it.. If the internet is any download speed over 100mbit.. then the express is not capable of handling it.

Is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

Well it depends on the age. http://www.everymac.com/ should help you identify the age of the two models.
Apple may use two processors called i5, but newer models have different optimizations than older models.
The processor is usually not the main affect on speed. RAM helps, but barely unless everything is on an SSD already. Hard drive speed is usually the limiting factor of speed on computers. eSATA hard drives with higher RPM can often yield the fastest results because notebook hard drives tend to be slower that are not SSD, but for those you need either Express/34 or Thunderbolt based adapters.

Why does a DVI or VGA look better than HDMI for 2nd Monitor

Why does a DVI or VGA connection for a program monitor look better than HDMI. I've tested this on several systems with CS5x and CS6. The full screen output from premiere definitely looks worse with HDMI.
I can often see visual differences with the Windows GUI as well, over sharpening of text and lines, harsh rendering of gradients. It looks like a VGA signal displayed on a television.
I've looked at the NVidia stetting and it appears to be set to 1920x1080 at 60hz either way, DVI or HDMI. On one Acer 20 inch monitor the was VGA, HDMI, Composite, Component, and Digital Tuner, but no DVI. The program monitor has always looked blah from the HDMI. So I recently switched the connection to a DVI to VGA adaptor, and now the video looks so much better.
Any thoughts or explanations?

Just because the monitors accept a 1080P signal doesn't mean their native resolution is 1920x1080. At 20 inch they very likely can scale that signal down to the native resolution of the panel which may be 1600 x 900 or another resolution that is 16 x 9 resolution. That scaling can be done by the GPU or firmware on the Monitor depending on the video driver options and the firmware options. That scaling is also the most common cause to text and icon blurriness you are talking about. As an example there are Pro monitors that accept a 4K signal but scale it down to 2.5K or 2K on the actual panel. You might try going into your video card settings such as Nvidia control panel and look for the scaling options. Select GPU scaling and see if the preview is better. If that doesn't work select no scaling and see if it's better if the monitor firmware handles the scaling.

Open DNS better than Comcast xfinity DNS?

Is OpenDNS better than using Comcast/xfinity's DNS? If yes, how do I switch over?
I go to into Airport Utility and enter in the 2 openDNS numbers, something like 222 and 220, but at the bottom of the page right now (because I am using Comcast's DNS) there's a web address something.comcast.net Do I need to change that info too? If so, what do I put in that field?
Thanks!

How did you add them?
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
