Dilemma Dilemma

Hi Guys,
I just got a brand new Black macbook core 2 duo, Standard configuratio.
Now I have the option to trade it for a brand new Macbook Pro but here are the specs:
Core duo 2.0ghz, 15.4 display,1gb ram, 80gb hd...
Please please advise I like the Macbook Pro, but what do u think ? Does it have known issues?
Thanks in advance

Hey,
Well from your post I can see that you have a Core 2 Duo version MacBook and the MacBook Pro has a Core Duo. So thats one difference, the Core 2 Duo is obviously newer and a little bit faster. The standard configuration Black MacBook I assume your referring to is the 1GB, 120GB HD, and the SuperDrive. Obviously the HD is bigger on the MacBook, so thats another pro for the MacBook. Next the screen on the MacBook Pro is obviously larger, but the screen on the Macbook in my opinion looks nicer with the glossy finish. Next is that the MacBook Pro has a dedicated graphics card which is definitely a pro over the MacBook's integrated graphics which taxes your RAM. The MacBook Pro has a backlit keyboard, while the MacBook does not. Yet the MacBook keyboard does have a nicer feel imo. Lastly, the Macbook Pro has a little bit better options as far as port expansion such as an ExpressCard. So in the end it all comes down to what you really need, and what feels right for you. I'm sure some others will leave there feelings too.
Good Luck!

  • Please help me to come out of this dilemma.

    Hi
    I am in dilemma.
    Recently i have joined a new organization which is a world leader in its field . The company name is very popular around the globe. But the thing is its almost 4 months , and as an Oracle DBA , i am not getting chance to work on something interesting / challenging . The thing is , i studied the environment here and i think most of my work involves only preparing DB docs , attending meeting and raising support tickets once a while. So very minimal technical work.
    To be honest, in last 4 years of my career i haven't worked in such a large organization before so during interview i didn't ask for type of work ,and i just wanted to join this organization as it will have a dramatic impact when i mention the name in my resume . I do not want to quit this organization so early because it will have a bad impression . Also , i think speaking to my bosses will not work because they cant help it in any way .
    I am happy with every thing else here , but i want to leave this company for doing something challenging as an Oracle DBA , but want to stay here because every thing else is damn good and also when i switch to a new company after 2 years , people will be dying to hire me ;) , am i contradicting ?
    Please help me to come out of this dilemma.
    Thanks

    Well, joining a big company from a small company and then leaving it just in few days would actually backfire. Next hiring people would think that since you were in capable to handle the workload in a big company(because you never worked in such environment before), you were thrown out. You won't be able to justify your reason that you left because you didnt' find enough challenge there because it can be completely blown away by a simple counter that how did you know that there was no challenging work there as you never stayed there even for a year too! So IMO, you would do more harm for you than anything good be quitting now. Its a mistake not to ask about the work but you have committed it already . What you should n't do is to do add another one and that is to leave the company now.
    Since you are not having much work, why don't you use it learn more about the company, its various works, other divisons and above all, to learn oracle database in your spare time. There is no place where you would be given challenges for your sake. If there is work it would come to you else you would be remaining free. You are working as a normal dba I believe not in support or something like that for you, every time, a new issue ticket is ready. If you have spare time with you, use it wisely to understand how things are working , both in your organization and with oralce db. Spend time doing trainings and learn more about the product, complete at least and then leave.
    Just my 2 cents.

  • Expanded iBook G4 Memory Dilemma

    Hi, I have upgraded my 14inch iBook G4's RAM from the original 512 MB to 768 MB DDR SDRAM. The install went perfectly, and the system recognizes the 768 MB RAM. There is, however, a dilemma. After upgrading the RAM, I still notice some slow performance with my applications. The spinning wheel appears frequently sometimes with only a handful of applications running. Using the Dashboard widget iStatPro, I think I have found out why this is occurring. According to iStatPro (with just Safari, Mail, and Stickies open), I see the following approximated stats:
    WIRED: 154MB
    ACTIVE: 358MB
    INACTIVE: 240MB
    FREE: 9MB
    The problem, it would appear, lies with the free memory. I have tried an application called iFreeMem to "optimize" the ratio of inactive to free memory. I have had fantastic results with transferring inactive to free memory. Unfortunately, iFreeMem is not free software. I was curious if there was a free (perhaps UNIX/Terminal) way of doing this optimization. It seems silly to have to pay for more memory, and then not being able to use it without paying for a third party program. I would appreciate any insight anyone can provide in regards to this matter. Thanks guys!

    You have 249MB RAM available (Free and Inactive). The fact that Free is low (9MB) is good. This is OS X making the best use of your system resources.Reading OS X Memory Usage
    If these figures are like this whilst you do your main work your should look elsewhere for your performance increases such as keeping at least 15% of your hard disk free and reducing the number of widgets in Dashboard at any one time.

  • I can't burn purchased tunes on a disc because of the infamous "error 4310". Why are loyal customers copntinually frustrated with the lack of or nonexistent answer to our dilemma?  ITunes, why offer "support" if you are unwilling to give it?

    I cannot burn purchased tunes on a blank disc because of the infamous "error 4310".  Countless ITunes customers are frustrated that there are no  "free" answers for this dilemma. Unfortunately, the  "support"  that is so highly promoted and encouraged is merely community members venting their frustrations.
    ITuines this is not at all professional on your part.

    Hi to everyone that replied and many thanks for your input.
    I have bought well known and established artists CD's containing their music, track lists and artwork files from branded retailers. When I have loaded them into iTunes, it automatically loaded the artwork files FROM the CD I bought, so all that nonsense about audio CD's having nothing but audio isn't accurate. No, they were not DVD's either. I will endeavor to find a software package that CAN do what I need as an independent artist. iTunes just doesn't cut the mustard for me, even though it's free. I do know about issues with copyright and artists protection, but there should be something that can be done or made in iTunes, so it doesn't infringe copyright of artists, but can be used by artists like myself without the software being abused by freeloaders. Oh well, maybe when I'm too old for this malarkey...

  • Who can HELP me with an seemingly impossible iTunes dilemma?

    Good day all and greetings from Malta (EU),
    I have what seems to be the need for an "impossible" solution. Let me explain my dilemma.
    I have never wanted to use the new versions of iTunes past 10.7 for ONLY ONE simple reason that the developers of iTunes have decided to eliminate.
    I am a digital dj - I use iTunes as my cataloging system for all the tracks I play. I am the kind of person that likes to prepare as much as possible before I play. Up till 10.7 there was an option to open MULTIPLE playlist windows. This was very important to me because that would mean practically that how ever the mood moved on the dance floor I was able to just choose from the open playlist windows without having to spend needless time searching for them while playing (which can be a big distraction)
    I have recently purchased my FIRST Mac (17" MacbookPro) and I have Yosemite running on it. I have followed tutorials to downgrade iTunes (using Pacifier & AppZapper) to 10.7 in order to get the only one feature I needed but was not available in future upgrades.
    I have a few problems. When I connect my iPhone it is not recognised and when I use the finder window I constantly get error messages popping up.
    So here's the thing. I DON'T mind re-installing the updated version of iTunes to make the OS run properly and to connect my iPhone but I can't do this without the old version as well.
    Is there a way to be able to rename the 10.7 version of iTunes so I can continue using that and it's own library AND also be able to install the latest iTunes so I can eliminate my problems and continue using the 10.7 version. I can point out that the updated version does not need to have the same library... I'd ONLY need that to eliminate the error messages & be able to connect my devices.
    can ANYONE PLEASE PLEASE help me with this dilemma? I searched "high and low" on Google and in the Apple Support Forum but I have failed to find an solution....
    Thanks and I am sooooo looking forward to someone helping me as soon as possible.
    And Happy Holidays EVERYONE!!!

    You could repartition your drive to have a different OS X with the older iTunes there, and the newer iTunes on the existing partition. Back up everything beforehand. See Kappy's advice in this thread. Partitioning my Hard Drive

  • VOF dilemma - will stripping EXE's etc. hurt VOF?

    Dilemma - since VOF (Virus Outbreak Filters) are the last step in the message pipeline, do you hurt VOF performance by stripping attachments with filters? Specifically for attachment types you never would allow in anyway (EXE, COM, etc)?
    Scenario One
    Message or Content filter removes EXE
    Outbreak occurs, VOF rule set to trigger on specific size EXE
    Since a filter removed EXE, VOF has nothing look for, and you get pounded with thousands of "remnants" - virus messages without attachment. No virus attachment therefore no client damage, but helpdesk buried with support calls/complaints about suspicious but harmless messages.
    Scenario Two
    No filter to remove EXE
    Outbreak occurs, VOF kicks in and stops most messages.
    But before VOF kicks in, 15 messages with EXE's get through and infect clients. You are at greater risk since you didn't stop EXE's in the first place with a filter.
    Are these scenarios correct? Any best practice suggestions?

    Add a content filter to strip the exes.
    This way, you can check for viruses and only take action if the message remains - it won't get to vof. Not a perfect solution but might be more of what you are looking for.
    Where I work there are a whole batch of file extensions that are not allowed. We don't strip them in message filters since if they are a virus then the virus checker wouldn't find them. We have a content filter that looks for dictionary match in the X-IronPort-AV header for a dictionary of mass mailers that we know of and drop the message. If it gets past that content filter and still has a prohibited attachment, we drop the attachment.
    NOTE: if you are doing it with scenario 1 and don't have some spare capacity then I wouldn't recommend letting them go to brightmail/ipas, and virus scanning.
    You can configure in the cli with policyconfig->filters or in the gui under mail policies - incoming content filters. After adding the filters in the guii, you need to goto incoming mail policies to enable it for the for the default policy.
    Filter Name: Drop_Mass_Mailers
    Conditions:
    header-dictionary-match("MassMailers","X-IronPort-AV")
    Actions:
    drop()
    Description:
    Drop mass mailers from the system
    Filter Name: Drop_Prohibited_Attachments
    Conditions (All of the following must match):
    attachment-filename ==
    "(?i)\\.(com|exe)$"
    Actions:
    drop-attachments-by-name("(?i)\\.(com|exe)$", "Attachment not allowed")
    strip-header("Subject")
    insert-header("Subject", "[Content Warning - Attachments Removed] $Subject")

  • Dilemma?? GTX 570, 580 or Quadro 4000

    hey guys apologies if im in the wrong place for this, its my first ever post online!  I have a slight dilemma, I have just recently ordered a new setup, however im confused as to which graphics card to go for. I will mainly use the system for HD Video editing (Sony HVR Z7) using premiere Pro CS5 and after effects. From what i have read the GTX range is more than capable of accelerating certain effects in premiere pro, but will the quadro be better?
    My other main use of the pc is that I would like to hook it up to my Sim 2 Lumis host projector, via HDMI or DVI, now, since the Quadro has 10 bit video would this in any way re produce a much better image quality than the GTX range? Or is this only limited to the display port? Is the 10bit video sent through all ports even HDMI/DVI? I know that my projector has 10bit Video Processing. I would really appreciate some guidance on this, as im wanting to place an order for the card asap.
    (Money is not an issue with regards to those cards)
    Many Thanks guys.

    BTW incase you need a reference this is from Nvidia.com
    http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/102043/GTX-570-Web-Datasheet-Final.pdf
    Page 3

    • Two pipelines for dual independent display
    • Two dual-link DVI outputs for digital flat panel display resolutions up to 2560×1600
    • Dual integrated 400 MHz RAMDACs for analog display resolutions up to and including 2048×1536 at 85 Hz
    • HDMI 1.4a support including GPU accelerated Blu-ray 3D support, x.v.Color, HDMI Deep Color, and 7.1 digital surround sound. See www.nvidia.com/3dtv for more details.

    Incase you need reference for what Deep Color is in the HDMI standard BTW:
    http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/faq.aspx
    HDMI 1.3:
    Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future HD display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds.
    Deep Color: HDMI 1.3 supports 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 8-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification, for stunning rendering of over one billion colors in unprecedented detail.
    Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 adds support for “x.v.Color™” (which is the consumer name describing the IEC 61966-2-4 xvYCC color standard), which removes current color space limitations and enables the display of any color viewable by the human eye.
    New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor connector option.
    Lip Sync: Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates automatic audio synching capabilities that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.
    New HD lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI’s current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS®), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.

  • Export Dilemma, please help

    I have a dilemma. I use iMovie 08 to import my ACHD. I then edit in iMovie 08 and most often iMovie HD.
    My source is 1080/60i. I import at Full.
    My output is in DVD. I want to make a sd dvd and also have a Quicktime File for burning Blu-ray later. Either through Toast on a regular DVD or a Blu-ray burner, once I get the software and or burner.
    My work flow involves editing and then sharing to Quick Time for the Blu-ray movie. For the regular DVD I would like to share to Quick Time.
    I would use AIC and current fps and for the compressor the other box checked and the interlaced box unchecked ???
    Have blur set to 2.
    For size would I set to ??? In 08 I understand 1280x720 HD is the best quality, but what happens in iDVD to it? And what about form iMovie HD, any difference?
    For the Blu-ray version I would use the settings above but for the size I would use HD 1920X1080 16:9
    I have sent projects straight to iDVD (from iMovie HD) and I end up with a 720x404 movie. The quality seemed OK for SD DVD on a smaller HDTV.
    I could use some help form someone who is experienced in this type of work flow. I have tried many experiments and not hit on a great quality DVD. My next imports I am planning on converting before importing, not sure to what. Does iMovie HD and 08 handle the clips the same (in terms of de-interlacing)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think I might be asking too many questions in one post. Let me try a different approach.
    1)When I do a Full import of 1080/60i AVCHD into iMovie08 do I now have 1080i/30 AIC clips or are they progressive?
    2)If I then import these clips into iMovie HD 06 do they get converted at all if the project is set for HD 1080i 30 ?
    3)Would there be any benefit to exporting to QT expert settings vs just importing to iDVD form either HD 06 or 08?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Integrating mod_plsql reports with Oracle Apps. A maddening dilemma.

    I'm hoping there is some guru out there that has the perfect solution to this maddening dilemma I'm facing.
    The crux of the issue is this.
    I've created mod_plsql reports that can accept a session_id with which they can set a user context based on global application contexts set in Oracle applications by users as they log in.
    At this juncture, I have not figured out a way to call those mod_plsql reports from Oracle apps using a variable session_id as defined for the user when they logged into apps.
    My client want to be able to log into Oracle apps and then go to the mod_plsql reports from the Oracle Apps menu and maintain the user session, so that the mod_plsql reports are run using VPD to constrain access to the data they are displaying to that specific user.
    The client does not have Single Sign On installed nor OID.
    I had hoped to pass a variable parameter session_id from the defined menu function that would call the mod_plsql url, but I don't see any way to pass a variable there and am becoming convinced that doing so is not an option. Can anyone confirm this?
    An alternate option I'm considering that seems like it would work is to create a JSP page that gets called from a menu function. In that JSP page, I would retrieve the session_id set in apps based on the context for the user_id that I could retrieve from fnd_global.user_id and assemble a URL with the session_id that the page would then re-route to the mod_plsql page.
    Unfortunately, I'm not versed in JSP.
    How hard would it be to create the sort of page that I'm talking about?
    Would the JSP need to part of OAF?
    Can anyone think of any other options that would take care of the issue I'm dealing with?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the feedback and sorry it took me so long to reply back. I don't recall seeing the session_id or user_id being passed as part of the function set up, but the rest definitely are. I may be mistaken.
    I did come up with a solution that involved the following.
    The package was in another schema, but granting execute to apps and creating a synonym in apps allowed for all mod_plsql output to be generated by Oracle's apps ias server.
    I could capture the session_id and the user_id using a function referencing icx_session. I build an additional procedure that gets called first by the app so that it can set the session_id and user_id to a context then set a cookie that all subsequently generated pages reference with that info.
    That's the short of it and at this point I've long moved on to other issues but it certainly was a relief to get it working. No jsp necessary.
    Thanks.

  • Dilemma regarding function based indexes

    Hello,
    I have a dilemma regarding function based indexes.
    I have read Note:66277.1 on the Metalink discussing thoroughly the subject of “Concepts and Usage of Function Based Indexes”.
    This doc was revised on 30-May-2006 so I was sure it referred to 9i and 10g.
    This doc as well as other docs on the web claim that in order to use FBI (function based indexes) one must set the following parameters (can be done also at session level)
    QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED = TRUE
    QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = TRUSTED
    Also the schema that is owner of the FBI should be granted with QUERY REWRITE sys priv and statistics should be collected since FBI is usable only by CBO (cost based optimizer).
    I have tested it and it works, my problem was that it worked
    (1)     Without granting the QUERY REWRITE to the owning schema.
    (2)     QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED was set to false.
    (3)     QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY was set to enforced.
    I have conducted my tests on 9.2.0.6 and found no evidence in the docs (10g) saying the above is required or not.
    I found at http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:1197786003246 the following:
    “Oracle9iR2 relaxed this so that the FBI on the builtin function may be used.”
    so I have tested it with my own function:
    create or replace function upper2( p_str in varchar2 ) return
    varchar2 DETERMINISTIC
    as
    begin
    return upper(p_str);
    end;
    =>
    Also (yes you guessed right), without any privilege granted nor parameter setting the optimizer picked my FBI.
    Can anyone refer me to a place documenting this behavior as a correct one?
    Other comments?
    Regards,
    Tal Olier ([email protected])

    Got an answer from Oracle support:
    19-DEC-06 18:04:31 GMT
    (Update for record id(s): 101017780,101017796)
    QUESTION
    ========
    Questions about the options required in 10g related to Function Based Indexes, and the correct
    behaviors associated with them.
    ANSWER
    ======
    For 10g:
    These requirements are no longer true in 10g. This has already clarified by
    development in the Bug 3999326 which is available on metalink.
    For 9I:
    For the creation of a function-based index in your own schema, you must be
    granted the QUERY REWRITE system privileges. To create the index in another
    schema or on another schema's tables, you must have the CREATE ANY INDEX
    and GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE privileges.
    You must have the following initialization parameters defined to create a
    function-based index:
    QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY set to TRUSTED
    QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED set to TRUE
    COMPATIBLE set to 8.1.0.0.0 or a greater value
    Additionally, to use a function-based index:
    The table must be analyzed after the index is created.
    The query must be guaranteed not to need any NULL values from the indexed
    expression, since NULL values are not stored in indexes.
    However, in 9.2.0.4 patchset, these prerequisites do not apply and one can
    create function-based indexes without any of the above to be true. This is not
    the case in 9.2.0.3, not in 8.1.7.
    Reference: Oracle 9i R2 Administrators Guide
    So as mentioned above that is why you didnt have any errors
    Please back to us if any further information is need, and we will be pleased to
    assist you further.
    Thank You,

  • Final Output DILEMMAS!!!!

    Hi everyone!
    I'm about to finish a rough cut of about 90minutes video and I have a couple of DILEMMAS!!! Please HELP.
    original footage was shot HDV 16:9 NTSC (with a Sony HDR FX1), then imported in SD for sake of space and render time.
    Timeline settings: DV-NTSC (capture DV NTSC 48KHZ, Playback output to Video Firewire NTSC 720-480, PTV output Video same as playback) and the timeline was set to anamorphic.
    Dilemma N°1: if my timeline is 720-480 and so is the imported footage, why is the image in the canvas not only letterboxed but totally surrounded by black frame? It's like having two rectangulars one in the other but proportional.Isn't my image supposed to fill the entire screen? How can I fix this at finisehd editing?
    Dilemma N°2: this rough footage is supposed to be shown to a TV editor... what type of Quicktime conversion should I use to put it at a good quality on a DVD? (H.264, DVC Pro, cinepak...?????)
    i tried to read about this without bothering any of you but got to no solution.
    THANK YOU in advance.
    DUZ from Italy
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    "ok, the material was imported DVC Pro NTSC 720x480, and so is the sequence."
    Those are not the correct settings. Most HDV cameras when they downconvert do so to DV anamorphic. You're material should be anamorphic, should have the anamorphic flag set, should have used that setting for capture and for the sequence. If that was not set correctly then everything downstream of that will be hosed.

If you edit your material into that, you've edited material captured with the wrong settings into a sequence with the wrong settings.
