How much personally-identifiable information do websites see?

Hi folks,
I just wanted to ask how much of my personally-identifible information do websites see? As in, if I go over to Disney.com and browse through it, what do their webmasters and operators see?
I'm fine with websites seeing my IP address, because it's unavoidable. It's one of those things. And I'm fine with people seeing that I'm using Safari and a MacBook Pro. I'm even okay with websites knowing what I searched and what I viewed. However, do they see my login name on my mac? I.e. Joe Bloggs? And do they see my mac name? Or anything personal?
I'm sorry this is a weird question. But I'm one of those individuals that really gets frustrated when the WWW treats my personal information as a commercial commodity that can be sold and used by big companies. I've had a run-in where my name and postal address was sold to a direct marketing company, and it took ages to get off their list.
Have a nice day.
Cheers :-)

Hi Velu,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to get the needed user properties for all the users using PowerShell.
I recommend to use the code below for getting the properties to txt file using PowerShell and you need to grant Full Control permission on the User Profile Service Application for the user who execute the commands:
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Office.Server")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
#change the URL to your root site URL
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://sp");
$ServiceContext = Get-SPServiceContext $site
$ProfileManager = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($ServiceContext)
$AllProfiles = $ProfileManager.GetEnumerator()
#You need to create the text file called UserProfiles in C disk(you can change the name to be what you want and put it in the place where you want )
$file = new-object System.IO.StreamWriter "C:\UserProfiles.txt";
$file.Writeline("DisplayName|Accountname|workEmail");
#get the user properties you want
foreach ($profile in $AllProfiles) {
$DisplayName = $profile.DisplayName
$AccountName = $profile[[Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PropertyConstants]::AccountName].Value
$workEmail = $profile[[Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PropertyConstants]::workEmail].Value
$file.Writeline($DisplayName+"|"+$AccountName+"|"+$workEmail);
$file.close();
$site.Dispose()

How can i tell how much hard drive space my website is taking up on my computer?

I have a website that i build through iweb and publish via mobile me. i have about 200 podcasts on the site, and I am trying to figure out how much hard drive space this is taking up on my computer. these files are not in itunes, and i'm not concerned about the space they are taking up in my cloud, i just want to know how much space on my computer they are taking up because i'm trying to decide if i should move my iweb site to a different computer to alleviate some space issues. any help would be much appreciated.

Check the size of the Domain.site2 file that is in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. it contains all of the files used to create and publish your site. I'm not sure if it copies the podcasts into it or not. You can open the domain package and do a search for them. Just don't move, rename or delete any files inside that package or your site is toast.

How much to identify pending txn/data during oracle streams latency

Hi ,
I have configured Downstream replication between database. Sometime i am getting latency due to large txn. Latency is taking more than 6 hrs to drain. How to check below things
     pending transaction?
     How much data's are in pending?
     How long it will take to replicate.
Could you please help on this

Hi, You can try as below:
Source Side
Replication is very quick. You can see the progress as below:
1. Sql> Select capture_message_number from v$streams_capture;
XXXXXX
2. Query the current archived logfiles that the stream is processing;
QL> select name, completion_time from v$archived_log where XXXXXX between FIRST_CHANGE# and NEXT_CHANGE#;
NAME                                               COMPLETION_TIME
/AGNCSYST/arch/1_299.dbf                           28-07-2009 13:26:48
Repeat this query a couple of times to see the progress.
When you will get null value, then Capture process is up to date.
TARGET/ Stage side
Then check on Stage side to see the progress
1. Run below SQL -- APPLIED_MESSAGE_NUMBER should moving
column APPLIED_MESSAGE_NUMBER heading "applied_scn" format 999999999999
column OLDEST_MESSAGE_NUMBER heading "oldest_scn" format 999999999999
select APPLY_NAME, APPLIED_MESSAGE_NUMBER, OLDEST_MESSAGE_NUMBER
from dba_apply_progress;
2. Check how far apply process
select (APPLY_TIME-APPLIED_MESSAGE_CREATE_TIME)*86400 "Latency_in_Seconds",
(sysdate-APPLY_TIME)*86400 "Latency_in_Seconds",
TO_CHAR(APPLIED_MESSAGE_CREATE_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS MM/DD/YY') "Event_Creation",
TO_CHAR(APPLY_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS MM/DD/YY') "Apply_Time"
FROM DBA_APPLY_PROGRESS;

How much should I pay to Chevron Card to get a good score bump?

Hi there, This is my first post in my journey. I currently only have a Chevron Card reporting. My limit is 2300 and I have a 1500 balance. How much should I pay off to see the best and fastest increase in score?

How much should I pay off to see the best and fastest increase in score? Optimally you should pay it down to between 1-10%, so up to $230 reporting balance. At worst you should probably have it below 30% or around $690 in this case. I know you're not asking for this advice, but it's pretty crazy to carry a balance on a gas card. The rates on those things are usually super high. Just a friendly suggestion, but try to control you spending on your gas card before getting yourself a general use card like a Visa/MC because you could get into way more trouble if you're able to spend everywhere. I know many people would have appreciated such advice at some time in their credit past.

New MBPs - how much speed do I need?

I'm about to replace my ageing G4 with a new 15" MBP but need some help from you fine people on the best option. Only apps I use are iPhoto (30GB of photos and growing), iTunes (16GB incl some videos) and Safari. The only extra app I'm likely to use in future is Photoshop.
I want at least 320GB which narrows the choice to 2 - the questions I'd love to have answered are:
1. how much difference will the step from 2.66 to 2.8GHz make? And is it worth paying for the upgrade to 3GHz? (I've been given conflicting advice).
2. Will the step up from Cache of 3MB (2.66 model) to 6MB (2.8 model) make a big difference?
3. I'm happy to stay with 4GB RAM for now til prices come down - but keen to know will upgrading to 8GB in the future make a big difference to speed?
Many thanks for your help
Nathan

Hi Nate,
There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a computer that I like to consider:
*1.) What is my budget?*
I typically have a "range" I want to shop in and normally that run will encompass two, sometimes three computers. One is usually right in the middle, one on the lower end and one either right on the top or a bit beyond. I'm not a big fan of stepping outside of my budget, simply because there usually other things I may want to get within the time frame I purchase the machine. I always allow for Applecare and will often times get some other accessories for the machine.
*2.) How will I use the machine, right now*
When I get it home, how will I use the computer over the next 3-8 months. Does the computer meet all of my needs and does it give me any room to expand at a later point in time? Or did get a machine that's "topped out" right off the bat.
*3.) How will I use the machine, tomorrow*
In a year or two from now, will my needs for the computer remain the same? Will the programs, games, or other hardware specific requirements I need allow me to grow and evolve with the machine? Or will I be using the machine in an environment where I do not need the latest and greatest and can happily enjoy the unit without ever upgrading.
In your scenario it sounds like you've narrowed it down pretty well. The processor decision is definitely a tough one. Especially considering, unlike the HD and RAM options this choice is a final decision situation. I've never used my computer for anything that's so processor intensive that I've needed the fastest CPU available, so I can't exactly comment on how much of a difference you'd see between 2.66GHz and 3.0GHz (I'd imagine the difference up to the 2.8GHz would be even less noticeable unless your needs for the machine are specifically processor intensive).
Regarding the L2 Cache debate, I think between 4GB of RAM and a 7200rpm you'll not see a difference in day-to-day processes. I know I stumbled across a ton of various benchmark discussions on ARS Technica and other "tech blogs" and of course the more... the merrier but in the day-to-day usage I really don't see the end user increasing productivity as a result of it.
You can always upgrade the RAM at a later point in time when the 8GB option becomes more reasonable, as we all know it will. I'm sure if we revisit this conversation in 6 months from now we'll see a price shift.

How much Apple charges to replace the digitizer/lcd assembly for an iphone 4?

Hi, I am trying to find out what is better for my pocket. My iphone's screen is scratched and I would like to replace it but I would like to know how much Apple charges for that to see if I can do it with them or try to do it myself. Thanks for the help!

Appe does not repair at all.
You can buy a replacement:
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5
$229
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. "

When I try to process financial information such as log onto my banking account or my paypal account, or pay for something online I get a warning message "You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party." I also never get a padlock to show that I am on a secure site. How much do I need to worry or what should I do?

I would not trust that on a banking site. If it were just a forum, no problem, but anything unencrypted during banking is suspicious.

Is there a place I can see how much data I uploaded other server like the old version of Sync did?

In the old version of Firefox Sync you can see what data was uploaded, with the next Sync I see nothing and when I got my account on the website Firefox, I don't see nothing just a sign in and change password screen. Would there be more there soon?

Hi Kurbo,
Please do leave feedback for the developers at input.mozilla.org, currently there is not a feature that shows how much data or what data is uploaded.
However if you are handy at picking up apis there are some apis that can be read about [https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2014/05/08/firefox-accounts-sync-1-5-and-self-hosting/ here]

My iMac (late 2010 model) desktop's hard drive is fried (was about 200GB). How much am I expecting to pay for a new one and retrieve my information?

My iMac (late 2010 model) desktop's hard drive is fried (was about 200GB). How much am I expecting to pay for a new one and retrieve my information?

As you can see Erin, trying to recover information from a hosed drive can be very expensive.
I would suggest first the OWC site as well. You can get a new drive of choice in size there.
I would also get the voyager http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/VOYQHDB1.0T/
and..
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Prosoft%20Engineering/DGDR3BUN/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/TOOLKIT11/
Wth your lap top and these folllowing tools your are set to change out the drive, reload OS and then with
the voyager pop in the old iMac drive and with the Prosoft software, try to mount and recover the files. Data Rescue is very good at this " if " the drive is not totally mechanically hosed. Drive Genius is very good at a number of things too. Nothing replaces the old adage of Back Up Back up Back up.
The voyage I listed can become the new backup drive for you.. your choice of tools: Time Machine or by cloning via CarbonCopyCloner or by what I use SuperDuper! IF you want to be really kewl.. both. By that I mean cloning and Time Machine.
It will take you an hour to swap out the drive and spring clean the iMac.. there is a hundred how too,s on you tube.
Hope this helps. Remember if is always when a drive will fail..they all do. I tell the people I support that Harddrives are good for 15 min.. to when they don't work. They will all fail.
Apple Geniuses are very limited to what they can and will do as far as file recovery.
Your best bet is to try to do it your self first. There is lots of help out here and you are not the first.

How much do I charge to design a co-worker's website for a starter business?

I'm not a web-designer - I'm an architect (or will be). But I got into graphic design a little, and just recently web-design. To be honest, it all seems to be coming naturally, and I just finished recreating the company-site of the place I work, and my own portfolio-site...
Now - a coworker wants a website for a small business he's starting up. I want to help him, but don't have the time to volunteer my services. And neither of us wants to throw out a price offer, because we don't want to offend one another..
So what's reasonable? We're both fresh out of school with a mountain of student loans each - I need money, and he has little to spend.
1) do I charge hourly or as a flat-price?
2) how much is reasonable for: a simple 5-page (or so) design, with a flash intro, custom-animated flash buttons (as links), a slideshow, built-in contact page, and some photoshop work? Keep in mind - I'm still kind of new to all this, so it'll take me some time..
Anyways, thanks for any advice!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
ALWAYS charge by the hour, but give a reasonable estimate.
Interesting how different business models operate. I would say NEVER charge by the hour to quote for a project. No client wants that pricing upfront. It's OK for extras but as an initial quote it's the fastest way not to win work.
Always get a full, accurate scope of work and give a per project price.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
And as for doing jobs for friends, family or colleges, that's called networking, which is the primary way that independent contractors get business.
No-one said networking is bad. It's great, if you know what you're doing, what your time is worth, what you're capable of delivering, what the project entails and manage your clients well.
Working as a favour for friends and colleagues on a shoestring budget with no clear scope of work and a limited skillset is bad. That's what loses you friends.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
So to those of you who have been advising the poster not to take work from someone they know, what kind of slash-and-burn business tactics are you practicing?
Not sure how you arrive at such a ridiculous conclusion from this thread but see comments above.
To reiterate:
Networking is great - if you know what you're doing, what your time is worth, what the project entails and manage your clients well.
Working as a favour for friends and colleagues on a shoestring budget with no clear scope of work and a limited skillset is bad. That's what loses you friends.

How can i see how large an app is and how much data is stored

In ios7 I could select an app and see it's size and how much data is stored in using it on my iPhone.
I can't seem to locate that option in ios8.1
to refresh and app I had the option of deleting it and reinstalling before based on the information held by the app.
is this clear?
MyFitnessPal is taking a long time to load, thought I would see how large the app is and how much info is stored
but as I've redundantly stated here I can't find that option in my phone now.
thanks in advance for any help you can offer
iPhone 5 iOS8.1

For reference in iOS 7 it is under Settings app > General > Usage.
According to the manual iOS 8 is the same…
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
(page 177)
Usage information
View cellular usage. Go to Settings > Cellular. See Cellular settings on page 179. View other usage information. Go to Settings > General > Usage to:
Display battery level as a percentage
See Battery Usage, including the elapsed time since iPhone has been charged and usage by app
View overall storage availability and storage used per app
View and manage iCloud storage
For me it take a few seconds to load, you may find that the app is being slow to open if it is still downloading some data for it's own caches etc. Try to ensure it has a good internet connection. Obviously it could just be that the service in question is also having issues, so consult their support too.

I'm assuming you can..now I don't know the prices for your area, you'll have to check around, I just did a quick web search and I'm pulling all sorts of prices up, I'd look into a repair facility near you and see what they can do for you :-) shouldn't be too expensive though! Good luck!
