Are There Any Advantages To High Resolution Displays?

I am looking to buy a new 17 inch MacBook Pro at the end of this month and seeking practical advice on configuration options I should choose.
I am curious about what other people think of the advantages and disadvantages of the high resolution displays. Perhaps it is just a personal preference on the part of different users but non-graphics users I have talked to who have used the high res screens say they don't like them and why but I have yet to talk to any artists who have used them and whether artists find real advantages. My feeling is that it would be good to be able to fit a larger (more pixels) image on the screen or is it better to just leave high res screens to those who work with high definition video/animation?
My usage of the computer is largely in Photoshop and other graphics programs like Painter, and web design.

Just to be clear, though, reducing the resolution of an LCD can have a negative effect on image quality. LCDs have an optimal "native" resolution and setting the resolution below that native level results in a poorer quality image.
Leopard claims "resolution independence" - I have not tried it yet, but if you read the description of this feature, you will note that it applies to the user interface elements. Granted, that's often what you notice the most (i.e. the problem with reducing the resolution below native for an LCD is that the text in Finder, all of the menu bar items, etc., looks "fuzzy"). By appropriately scaling the UI elements, Leopard overcomes the limitation. But the "fuzzyness" will still apply to non-UI things that are displayed - i.e. images. Since based on your posts you will be working with images primarily, high-res vs. standard is still a choice I'd recommend considering carefully, and ideally by trying them both side-by-side.
Ps. Thanks for awarding points!

I'm buying a new computer for use with Creative Cloud. Are there any advantages to PC vs Mac?

I'm replacing a seven year old Dell that still works but is getting rather long in the tooth. I have CS4 web design. (For PC)
I have a Macbook Pro (so I'm familar with Mac OS)
I'm upgrading my computer to mainly use the Creative Cloud.
Are there any advantages (related to Creative Cloud) to buying a Mac or a PC?
I just don;t wan't to a Mac and then find that many features don;t work that are on the PC (or vice versa)
Or is one interface easier to use than another?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It usually boils down to personal preference.
The software is, to all intents and purposes, the same in either operating system. There are minor differences between them, usually related to the hardware or the operating system. But if you can use the software in Windows, you'll be able to use it on a Mac too.
It's a matter of which environment you prefer: Windows or Mac. I use both daily since the Cloud allows you to install on Windows and/or Mac.

Are there any advantages of using Secure Empty Trash over regular Empty Trash?

Are there any advantages of using Secure Empty Trash over regular Empty Trash?

If you are going to run around with sensitive files on your file system, you might be better off using a whole disk encryption so that every file is encrypted, any deleted file contains encrypted contents. As long a no one can access your files using your encrytpion keys, all your data is secure.
Also secure delete is not really going to do much on a Solid State Drive, and again whole disk encryption would be a better choice.
For a moderate amount of data, secure erase does not take too much time. But if you have a ton of file and/or a few really large files to erase, secure erase can take a long time to complete as it is doing multiple pass to write and overwrite the file's storage with patterns of data that make it extremely difficult to recover the original data. That takes time.
Finally, if you have been updating a document, previous editions may have been given over to free storage as new versions are written, such that when you decide to erase the file you may only be doing secure erase on the most recent copy.

Are there any solutions for Apple Studio display connectivity to a new Air?

Are there any troubles with high rdisp/max_wprun_time?

Are there any unpredictable negative effects while setting this parameter large values (for example, 1000 or 2000 seconds?)

Hi Pavel Danilov,
You can increase the value but this increases the chance of work processes being blocked (eventual system standstill situations possible). I assume you have reviewed note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/25528">25528</a> and other documentation about this parameter. There can be some reasons why 600 is not high enough also for current needs..
Normally if you have very long running database accesses, than this indicates that the program is in a loop or no suitable index exist for this access so that a full table scan is performed or the optimizer has a problem with the statement.
You can check as well if the reason for the long running task is:
- Overload of the SAP System and/or of the database
- Waiting for locks in the DB

Are there any issues with MacPros+Dual Displays and FCP?

I have a MacPro (2.1) with an ATI X1900XT graphics card (2 DVI ports). It is currently hooked up to a single 24". My usage is mostly Browsing, Final Cut Suite and Video. I am planning on upgrading to Dual Displays (2*24" or 2*27") but read about some vague issues the ATI might have when using dual displays and FCP (Color more specifically). Are there any specific issues I should be aware of before getting a second display?
Many thanks in advance

One graphics card? Two displays? ZERO ISSUES! Not sure what "vague issue the ATI" cards have, but I have that exact card, and run two 24" displays with no problems. I have run dual displays for years. I find working with one very...cramped.

Question: Are there any advantages for stored procedure for data block?

There are two ways to create data block:
1. query table or view or
2. stored procedure.
After 9i, AS has a PL/SQL compiler. Do we still see the advantage of using stored procedure, as claimed that it is faster due to the stored procedure always compiled?
Thank you in advance.
Jimmy

Jimmy,
The "fast" side is not the only one benefit of stored procedures.
Of course, you can use the BULK COLLECT functionality which is not available into Forms.
But stored procedure is a good way to perform the following actions:
complex handeling of datas (insert, update or delete that generate severals actions on other tables).
externalization/centralisation of business rules.(separate the design and functionnal work).
more secutity, because you can prohibit manipulation of datas outside of the procedures.
You can change the rules without modify the forms.
etc.

Are there any good code examples for displaying preview images in the storefront?

I can gather other info using folio.xxx, but can not find any good examples to use for preview images. Tried folio.getPreviewImage() with no success. Oh, I should mention it is version 2. Plenty of examples for version 1.
Perhaps if I get a little more specific.
I am calling up the folios via:
       adobeDPS.libraryService.folioMap.addedSignal.add(function(folios) {
            for (var i = 0; i < folios.length; i++) {
                addFolio(folios[i]);
        }, this);
This eventually works into a function where I am gathering and displaying folio data:
     var productId = folio.productId;
    var html = "<div id='" + productId + "'>";
        html +=     "<a href='#'><img class='shadow' width='120' src='' border=0 /></a>";
        html +=     "<br /><span class='bold'>" + folio.title + "</span>";
        html += "</div>";
    this.$el = $(html);
folio.title works fine to pull up the title, but I can no longer use folio.getPreviewURL in v2. What code should I be using to set the src to the preview image?
Thanks

Have you looked at the default implementations of the library?
In FolioItemView's render function, there is a function(follow the nested functions!):
setTimeout(function(){ scope.loadPreviewImage() }, 100);
It references this function (this doesn't copy well):
loadPreviewImage: function() {
if (this.el.parentElement) {
var transaction = this.folio.getPreviewImage(135, 180, true);
transaction.completedSignal.addOnce(this.getPreviewImageHandler, this);
Going deeper, into the getPreviewImageHandler function is where you see the url value..
if (transaction.state == adobeDPS.transactionManager.transactionStates.FINISHED && transaction.previewImageURL != null) {
                              this.$el.find(".folio-thumb").attr("src", transaction.previewImageURL);
Within the example is also code for supplying a preview when the Adobe API is not available:
(Within the render function)
var json = this.model.toJSON();
$folioThumb.attr("src", json.libraryPreviewUrl);
If you're making any changes to where the preview is displayed, you can just swap out the class ".folio-thumb" to whatever the class (or id) is of the element you're wanting to render the preview in.

Are there any advantages to using a Data Value Reference for LabVIEW Classes?

Hi
I recently came across an example where the developer had used a data value reference for the class cluster in LabVIEW.
What are the advantages of doing this?
Doesn't the use of LV objects already avoid the creation of multiple copies of data thereby reducting memory usage?
Thanks
AD

LabVIEW's OOP is implemented as a By Value. This means, as Tst stated, branches in wires could mean copies in the object. The DVR is a way to make it By Reference.

Are there any payment gateways that will display the BC invoice number in transaction info?

MI've been told by BC suppor that this functionality is not available for Paypal, and am wondering if any Payment gateways would support this. My client wants to see the invoice number (from BC) in each transaction in Paypal to be able to easily reconcile orders and payments. Other pamynet info shows up, and it would be great if the invoice number would come through as well.
Any help?

Just have a follow up question about this. My client's accounting dept is having some issues with how the funds are deposited into the bank account without any identification to describe where it is coming from. When you say that "BC sends an order number to the gateways," do you mean that once someone places an order the order number is passed to the payment gateway with all the rest of the payment info? So that order number could be seen in PayPal, for example, but once the client deposits those funds into their bank account, that information would not necessarily be submitted along with it, correct? Thanks.

Are there any other cables that if an iphone 5

I just got an iphone 5 and of course now all the USB chargers for my old iphones, ipad and ipod are useless when my phone needs to be charged. Are there any other USB cables that will fit the iphone 5? If so what are they and why, oh why did apple feel the need to chage the charger for the iphone 5? Are there any advantages the new charger has over the standard charger for apple's USB's charger or is apple trying to profit from their customers when they lose or damage their new charger?

I have posted this annoying Robles to bugreport.apple.com. Hope I can get locution (although Apple normally will not respond):
On a software name Appfresh, it alerted me to update my MBPr 15 inches running latest OSX 10.8.2, with Chinese Word List Update 1.2. When I clicked on Software Pdate, app Store return No update available.
My system have Chinese Word List Update 1.0 installed, and on October 5, 2012, Chinese Word List Update 1.1 was released by Apple, as alerted through AppFresh. However, this update never get updated on m system. I have to manually download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg from reviews.cnet.com/macfixit and install it manually. By doing so, I have Chinese Word List Update 1.1 on my system.
The same problem occurred again today on November 5, 2012, where Chinese Word List Update is released by Apple. again, it fail to update from Software Update menu.
Can you please:
1. Explain why this problem occurred. This is so annoying.
2. Advise me how can I get this Chinese Word List Date to update to version 1.2. Can you please send me the chinesewordlistupdate.pkg for version 1,2 so that I can manually install it on my system?
3. How can I prevent similar problem with he subsequent version?
Why Apple don't make this update standard as other update?
Support please. Thank for response in advance

Are there any new 17 " MBPs with matte display out which run properly?

Hallo,
I am about to buy one 17 MBP with matte display. But now I ve read all these posts and
I hesitate to order one. I don't want to have all the trouble to send it back and then wait
again. So, are there any guys who can not report these graphic issues?
Yours
Matthias

CD = Core Duo, the 1st generation of 17" MBP from way back in 2006. It was flawless when I got it. It's still running perfectly 3 years later. Only issue was a bad battery, and that was a known manufacturing problem at Sony that affected Macs as well as PC laptops. Apple extended the warranty to cover the issue, and replaced mine for free ~3 months after my one-year warranty expired. Two colleagues have the new 17" unibody MBP, one with glossy and one with matte, both are flawless.

I'm not sure where on the internet or which store you mean -- but if you mean an Apple advertisement on the internet and an Apple Store, note that there was an ad for MacBooks that showed them with a variety of stickers but Apple does't sell the stickers and not all of the ones shown in the ad were commercially available.
