Differences between my MBA and old MBP

I've noticed a few differences in the behavior of these two computers, and I prefer the OLD way better, but I can't figure out how to do it.
In the past, both my iMac & MBP allowed me, in Mail, to use my mouse/trackpad to select a whole string of emails at once, either by just scrolling down, or by holding COmmand as I clicked on each email. I could then delete the whole bunch at once.
But now, on the MBA, I can only select and delete one item at a time. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?
On the old computers, I could wake my computer by moving the mouse. Now I have to hit a key to wake from sleep. Not a biggie, but old habits die hard! :-)
Other "new" stuff I see on the MBA:
Under DEVICES in the FINDER, I see a "Remote Disk" that has nothing in it, and that I cannot remove. If I look in GET INFO, it gives me no information, other than a box I can check to Lock it. What the heck is this?
Oddly, while I CAN charge my iPhone via the USB port, it will not charge my Nook via that same Port. And when I try to attach an external hard drive using a USB hub, it won't see the EHD - but that same hub allows me to charge the iPhone, or attach a mouse.
Battery seems to last FOREVER! :-)

I can help with one of those questions -- the Remote Disk. Since the MacBook Air does not have an optical drive, you can use remote disk to share another computer's optical drive. The following has information: DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc

Difference between the new and old airport express

Have an airport express bought in the summer of 2004. It extends my home network and have never had any trouble with it. (Still using system x3.9 ). Everything is stable. Calm. If I were to buy a new airport express today, do I understand right that it would not work with my current system? What's the difference between the newer airport express and the one I have?

I don't think there's much of a difference between the old Express and the new one. The only difference for sure, will probably be the Airport software, which is at its current version (I forget which). I too, bought my Airport Express when it first came out and I'm running software 6.1.1 on it, I think the newest is at 6.4 now or something like that.
Only reason why it wouldn't work with your system is most like due to the updated software. The tech specs doesn't really say 10.4 or higher is required, but it looks like it's suggested to use the features such as USB printing, etc. http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html

What is the difference between the new and old ipad mini case?

I was wondering what the difference is between the old ipad mini case and the new one which came out with the ipad mini with retina display?

I just bought an iPad Mini case for my iPad Mini with Retina Display, and it DOES NOT FIT... This particular case has a hard plastic cradle for the iPad to fit into and it does not wrap around the edges enough to hold it in... I am shocked at how snug these cases will fit, even though there is only a 0.01" difference in thickness... So again, I repeat, an iPad Mini with Retina Display WILL NOT FIT into the first gen iPad Mini case!

Difference between New ETL and Old ETL

Hi All,
In old ETL process we first have a InfoSource (Can be connected from DataSources from Different Source Systems). We have 1 set of Transfer Rules. Again if there are different definitions to be loaded into different data target we define them in Update Rules.
What incase of new ETL is the purpose of maintaining 2 transformations (Replacing Update Rules and Tranfer Rules). Can't we directly define different transformations on DataSource itself. Where the requirement comes that we define two transformations with InfoSource in between.

Hi Ravi,
What incase of new ETL is the purpose of maintaining 2 transformations (Replacing Update Rules and Tranfer Rules). Can't we directly define different transformations on DataSource itself. Where the requirement comes that we define two transformations with InfoSource in between.
.here is the requirement
suppose thr are some modification required to be done in an infoobject value ..suppose the value '1' is to be replaced by 'Y' in an infoobject for all data targets...then such a modification will be put in the transformation from datasource to infosource and after that individual transformations are applied from infosource to different data targets,these transformation are data target specific rules..like update rules..in this case u only had to write the rule for 1-->Y once in first transformation ...
So in short .. transfer rules as well as update rules are now called transformations.....
yes u can directly define transformations on datasource itself as well ..infosource is not mandatory

Can't see difference between new posts and old ones.

Hi
This may sound like a silly question......but why I can't see new posts everything looks the same, no indication of new posts.
It's very silly not to be able to see new posts.

Agreed guys ! We risk to not answer to someone, because we don't see that the thread has been updated. Before it was very easy to do that, now it' quite difficult :-(

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

MBA - difference between early 2014 and mid 2014?

Today my new MBA 13", 1.7, 8 GB, 256 GB has arrived. When I checked the serial number I found out, that it is from early 2014. Is there a difference between early 2014 and mid 2014?
Should I send it back to the reseller?

Thank you for the quick reply. I wonder about that because in German online shops and communities there is often written about mid 2014.
One the Apple homepage I found out the early 2014 works with Mavericks. The current MBA in the apple store works with yosemite. But I could not find and hardware differences...

Any data on speed differences between 2.4 and 2.93 ghz MBP?

Has anyone seen any performance tests showing the difference between 2.4 and 2.93 ghz MBP? I've googled around and haven't found anything.

Check Bare Feats for benchmarks and do some Google searching. Logically, the difference is not likely more than the difference in processor speed, plus or minus.

Difference between unique constraint and unique index

1. What is the difference between unique constraint and unique index when unique constraint is always indexed ? Which one is better in this case for better performance ?
2. Is Composite index of 3 columns x,y,z better
or having independent/ seperate indexes on 3 columns x,y,z is better for better performance ?
3. It has been very confusing for me to decide which columns to index, I have indexed most foreignkey columns, is it a good idea ? We do lot of selects and DMLS on most of our tables. Is there any query that I can run and find out if indexes are really being used and if they are improving any performance. I have analyzed and computed my indexes using ANALYZE index index_name validate structure and COMPUTE STATISTICS;
null

1. Unique index is part of unique constraint. Of course you can create standalone unique index. But is is no point to skip the logical view of business if you spend same effort to achive.
You create unique const. Oracle create the unique index for you. You may specify index characteristic in unique constraint.
2. Depends. You can't utilize the composite index if the searching condition is not whole or front part of the indexing key. You can't utilize your index if you query the table for y=2. That is.
3. As old words in database arena, Index may be good or bad for a table depending on the size of table, number of columns in the table... etc. It is very environmental dependent. In fact, It is part of database nomalization. Statistic is a way oracle use to determine the execution plan.

Difference between implicit enhancement and explicit enhancement

What is the difference between implicit enhancement and explicit enhancement .

Hi Peters,
Implicit enhancement option
Throughout the ABAP system, enhancement options are automatically available at certain pre-defined places. Some of the implicit options are:
u2022 At the end of all the programs (Includes, Reports, Function pool, Module pool, etc.), after the last statement
u2022 At the beginning and end of all FORM subroutines
u2022 At the end of all Function Modules
u2022 At the end of all visibility areas (public, protected and private) of local class
To view all the implicit options available in a source code, choose u2018Edit -> Enhancement Operations -> Show Implicit Enhancement Optionsu2019 from the editor.
Befor that you click on the spiral icon button in the application toolbar
Explicit enhancement option
The Implicit enhancement options are provided at specific source code places explicitly by SAP (Note that these enhancement definitions can also be created by partners and customers in their code).
There are two types of Explicit Enhancement options available. One which can be provided at a specific place - called Enhancement Point, and another which can be used to replace a set of statements u2013 called Enhancement Section. For this, we now have two new ABAP statements, viz.
u2022 ENHANCEMENT-POINT
u2022 ENHANCEMENT-SECTION
When the Enhancement-Section is implemented, only the implementation gets executed and the original code doesnu2019t get executed. This is a new technique, which didnu2019t exist previously in any of the old ways of enhancing, to exclude any standard SAP code from execution. Because of this, there can be only one active implementation of an Enhancement-Section. On the other hand, there can be multiple active implementations of an Enhancement-Point, in which case all the implementations will be executed with no guarantee in the order of execution.

Question about main difference between Java bean and Java class in JSP

Hi All,
I am new to Java Bean and wonder what is the main difference to use a Bean or an Object in the jsp. I have search on the forum and find some post also asking the question but still answer my doubt. Indeed, what is the real advantage of using bean in jsp.
Let me give an example to illustrate my question:
<code>
<%@ page errorPage="errorpage.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="ShoppingCart" %>

<jsp:useBean id="cart" scope="session" class="ShoppingCart" />
<html>
<head><title>Shopping Cart</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Your cart's ID is: <%=cart.getId()%>.
</body>
<html>
</code>
In the above code, I can also create a object of ShoppingCart by new operator then get the id at the following way.
<code>
<%
ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
out.println(cart.getId());
%>
</code>
Now my question is what is the difference between the two method? As in my mind, a normal class can also have it setter and getter methods for its properties. But someone may say that, there is a scope="session", which can be declared in an normal object. It may be a point but it can be easily solved but putting the object in session by "session.setAttribute("cart", cart)".
I have been searching on this issue on the internet for a long time and most of them just say someting like "persistance of state", "bean follow some conventions of naming", "bean must implement ser" and so on. All of above can be solved by other means, for example, a normal class can also follow the convention. I am really get confused with it, and really want to know what is the main point(s) of using the java bean.
Any help will be highly apprecaited. Thanks!!!
Best Regards,
Alex

Hi All,
I am new to Java Bean and wonder what is the main
difference to use a Bean or an Object in the jsp. The first thing to realize is that JavaBeans are just Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) that follow a specific set of semantics (get/set methods, etc...). So what is the difference between a Bean and an Object? Nothing.
<jsp:useBean id="cart" scope="session" class="ShoppingCart" />
In the above code, I can also create a object of
ShoppingCart by new operator then get the id at the
following way.
ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
out.println(cart.getId());
...Sure you could. And if the Cart was in a package (it has to be) you also need to put an import statement in. Oh, and to make sure the object is accessable in the same scope, you have to put it into the PageContext scope. And to totally equal, you first check to see if that object already exists in scope. So to get the equivalant of this:
<jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart"/>Then your scriptlet looks like this:
<%@ page import="my.pack.ShoppingCart %>
<%
ShoppingCart cart = pageContext.getAttribute("cart");
if (cart == null) {
    cart = new ShoppingCart();
    pageContext.setAttribute("cart", cart);
%>So it is a lot more work.
As in my mind, a normal class can also
have it setter and getter methods for its properties.True ... See below.
But someone may say that, there is a scope="session",
which can be declared in an normal object.As long as the object is serializeable, yes.
It may be
a point but it can be easily solved but putting the
object in session by "session.setAttribute("cart",
cart)".Possible, but if the object isn't serializable it can be unsafe. As the point I mentioned above, the useBean tag allows you to check if the bean exists already, and use that, or make a new one if it does not yet exist in one line. A lot easier than the code you need to use otherwise.
I have been searching on this issue on the internet
for a long time and most of them just say someting
like "persistance of state", "bean follow some
conventions of naming", "bean must implement ser" and
so on. Right, that would go along the lines of the definition of what a JavaBean is.
All of above can be solved by other means, for
example, a normal class can also follow the
convention. And if it does - then it is a JavaBean! A JavaBean is any Object whose class definition would include all of the following:
1) A public, no-argument constructor
2) Implements Serializeable
3) Properties are revealed through public mutator methods (void return type, start with 'set' have a single Object parameter list) and public accessor methods (Object return type, void parameter list, begin with 'get').
4) Contain any necessary event handling methods. Depending on the purpose of the bean, you may include event handlers for when the properties change.
I am really get confused with it, and
really want to know what is the main point(s) of
using the java bean.JavaBeans are normal objects that follow these conventions. Because they do, then you can access them through simplified means. For example, One way of having an object in session that contains data I want to print our might be:
<%@ page import="my.pack.ShoppingCart %>
<%
ShoppingCart cart = session.getAttribute("cart");
if (cart == null) {
    cart = new ShoppingCart();
    session.setAttribute("cart", cart);
%>Then later where I want to print a total:
<% out.print(cart.getTotal() %>Or, if the cart is a JavaBean I could do this:
<jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart" scope="session"/>
Then later on:
<jsp:getProperty name="cart" property="total"/>
Or perhaps I want to set some properties on the object that I get off of the URL's parameter group. I could do this:
<%
ShoppingCart cart = session.getAttribute("cart");
if (cart == null) {
    cart = new ShoppingCart();
    cart.setCreditCard(request.getParameter("creditCard"));
    cart.setFirstName(request.getParameter("firstName"));
    cart.setLastName(request.getParameter("lastName"));
    cart.setBillingAddress1(request.getParameter("billingAddress1"));
    cart.setBillingAddress2(request.getParameter("billingAddress2"));
    cart.setZipCode(request.getParameter("zipCode"));
    cart.setRegion(request.getParameter("region"));
    cart.setCountry(request.getParameter("country"));
    pageContext.setAttribute("cart", cart);
    session.setAttribute("cart", cart);
}Or you could use:
<jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart" scope="session">
<jsp:setProperty name="cart" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>The second seems easier to me.
It also allows you to use your objects in more varied cases - for example, JSTL (the standard tag libraries) and EL (expression language) only work with JavaBeans (objects that follow the JavaBeans conventions) because they expect objects to have the no-arg constuctor, and properties accessed/changed via getXXX and setXXX methods.

Differences Between Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution in Project Server Events

Dear All,
Does anyone know the differences between Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution in Project Server?
In http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg204879(v=office.15).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg200978(v=office.15).aspx, they stated same definitions for both Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution.
Thank you.

Not entirely sure, but I'd guess they are the same. This is probably a relic of the old Portfolio Server which had Planner and Optimizer as separate modules. My guess is that some of that got grandfathered in to Project Server, but due
to functionality creep, ended up meaning pretty much the same thing.
