what are the advantages of shifting from @me and @mac to @icloud?

probably no advantage, just Apple policy.
I do not know are @mac users still have their e-mail addresses valid, however, @me works in parallel with @icloud and there is no difference which one you use. At least for the moment.

What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

The slower the speed, the fewer burn errors (or, in other words, you'll burn fewer "coasters"). I've always tried to burn at a slower speed, i.e. 2x - 4x. I'd rather wait a few minutes more and I've never had any burn errors.

What are the advantages of moving from Tiger to Leopard?

Hello all,
I currently have an iBook G4 Mac with 1.25MB RAM and a 1.2GHZ processor running Tiger 10.4.11. I was thinking of upgrading to Leopard in order to get the longest life out of my system before I can afford a Mac. Before I take the pluge I'd like to consider what the advantages of the new operating system are, and it seems to me that the additional advantages are not too clear from the official documentation and Apple Store.
My system will not run Snow Leopard from the system requirements that seem to be coming out so I think this would be the best step to keep my Mac going and compatible for new software that I use for student work, which is primarily musically orientated plugin's and software for midi controllers and mixing. Do you think it would be worthwhile upgrading my system and it will be fast enough for efficient use?
Lastly if I do upgrade, what is the best way to install the new system while trying to preserve current applications and folders. Would it be best to use data migration to a external hard-drive and back again, or is there an easier way to maintain the system applications and files.
Thanks,
Robert

See the list of the 300 new features in Leopard and then decide if they are worth it to you.
Whenever I upgrade, I do an "archive & install". It will move your previous system files to a "previous systems" folder and install a new system from scratch. You can also have it preserve user and network settings, which is what I always do. It makes for a very smooth and reliable install with a minimum of fuss.

HT4436 What are the advantages of using iCloud instead of what I was using?

How does this work exactly - do now start filling out forms etc. with this address ? And notify friends and family also?

As we don't know what you were using, it's not possible to say what advantage it may have.
iCloud offers 'push' email to iOS devices. It keeps your contacts, calendars, bookmarks etc in sync across your computers and iOS devices. It offers automatic iOS device backups. It allows you to locate, lock and send a message to a lost iOS device.
If you are referring to the additional, optional @icloud.com address former MobileMe users have been given, then there is no advantage over an @me.com address, unless you happen to prefer the @icloud.com domain. You don't have to use it.

Converting RAW to DNG! What are the advantages / disadvantages?

I have Canon cameras and shoot RAW, but the question itself is surely also valid for Nikon, Sony or other brand-shooters.
When importing my pictures to Lightroom, I could convert them to DNG but didn't do this up to now, because I do not know what I loose. I suppose that I loose the ability to process my files with DPP, but I will not do that anyhow. I can appreciate the advantage of having the file in an open documented format, where even I could easily write a reader for it. So the answer should not be what I can easily find in the Adobe introduction into DNG. I have also the DNG specification in front of me, and I can read it, because I once wrote a program to read TIFF files. I understand that I could add the original RAW image stream, but I do not want using up the space wasted for this. I know, that all development parameters used for the specific RAW image can be written with the image file instead of having those stored in a database or a side-car-file.
But what I did not find until now a technical explanation about what happens during the convert. Who can enlighten me? Where do I find the missing technical explanations?
Thanks in advance!
Lucien.

That wasn't the question... .
Based on the title of the thread and your initial post, it seems like your question had a lot of
"What are the advantages / disadvantages?"
in it, and only a little
"What happens at a technical level when converting"
But if you want more detailed info about conversion, and you have the aptitude to understand, I recommend doing what Lr5user-pt recommended:
Download the DNG SDK and dig in - all your questions will be answered (and if not, you can also ask DNG-specific technical questions in the DNG forum).
As far as my "sources" regarding the technical summary I presented, they are many and varied, none of which are the DNG SDK. In other words, my knowledge is based more on experience over the years - I don't know all the details under the hood..
Some experiments to consider doing:
* exiftool (-X) a proprietary raw file, then convert to DNG and repeat.
* open a proprietary raw in a DNG-supporting software of your choice and inspect metadata, then open the converted DNG in the same software and re-evaluate. Compare to proprietary raw opened in manufacturer's software, and what you see via exiftool.
Tom Hogarty (Lightroom project manager) and others who know have said: "DNG converter discards no metadata", and I believe them, but haven't verified for myself. Yet once proprietary metadata is in the DNG, most (all?) software will no longer decode it. A prime example is focus points - presumably they're there, but once converted, focus point feature is no longer supported. The amount of work required to support converted focus point data is unknown (to me), but as far as I know, no software has ventured to do it. If you want focus points, don't convert.
If you want the truth, I think for most people it's "not wise" to convert to DNG. Why? because unless you already know why you are converting (and need to convert to satisfy your goals), or you already know why you must NOT convert (e.g. so you can open the files in mfr.software, and see focus points..) the pros and cons are likely to be a wash, and now you have twice the number of raw files, unless you discard your originals, which would be REALLY "not wise", in my opinion. If you find the notion of "openly documented format" sufficiently compelling, then, ya know, more power to ya (I don't judge..), but there is no guarantee that DNG will outlast NEF (or..), and if it does, there will be ample opportunity to convert before you're left in the cold, unless you're stuck in a cave for a few decades, or are kryogenically frozen.. True, if all companies die, you may be able to write your own DNG converter (/reader), given the DNG documentation, but FWIW, NEF is also thoroughly documented (document is in freely downloadable SDK), and reverse engineerable (that's what Adobe and Phil Harvey does), so you could also write your own NEF converter, so not really a very compelling argument, not this year anyway - ask me again in a few decades..
If filesize is a main draw, then be sure NOT to save the hi-rez previews in your DNGs, otherwise you've just lost most or all of the filesize advantage. Also, you can strip previews from some proprietary raws (e.g. NEFs), to reduce filesize.
Personally, if DNG supported sidecars, I would be more likely to convert, because file-management/backup is only an issue if you "forget" about xmp sidecars (and I do not forget), and I'd rather have my xmp in separate ready-to-read xml text files, rather than embedded in binary files, but hey, that's me..
PS - I always use/encourage-others-to-use DNG when distributing raws to others for use in Adobe software, so xmp is not separate and can not get lost.
PPS - proprietary raws and dngs are both just glorified tiff files - raw data, previews, and metadata..
Don't get me wrong: I am NOT anti-DNG, and in fact - just the opposite: I am PRO dng, it's just that I wouldn't (don't) convert my own raws to DNG at this point. If you find the reasons to convert now are sufficiently compelling, you have my complete support and cooperation, fwiw..

What are the advantages to using BlazeDS or Granite?

We have decided to use Flex3 to upgrade our UI. We have heard
good things about using Granite Data Services, but it requires jdk5
or higher, and the same for BlazeDS.
We are currently using Websphere 6.0 and are discussing our
environment options: replace Websphere with JBoss 4.2 (Sun jdk6),
upgrade to Websphere 6.1 (IBM jdk5), or keep the current Websphere
6.0 (IBM jdk4). The concerns are upgrade cost, and time to develop
and qa any changes to the environment.
We would like to get some feedback on pros and cons of using
Flex with these three environments. If we stay with jdk4, will we
spend nn% more time writing code that could have been done out of
the box with Granite? Are there improvements with memory, speed,
etc. using Flex with a later version of the jdk? Will development
time be shorter with a later version of the jdk? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of using Flex with WebSphere versus
JBoss?
Thanks for your input!

BBM and PIN messages are messages sent from one BlackBerry to another. The message is composed by the sender and goes through RIM's secure server before being delivered to the recipient. They are only available to BlackBerry users.
The thing I like about them is how you can see if they've been received by the recipient. Once the message reaches the recipient's phone, you'll notice a small 'D' at the start of your message. This means it's been delivered. When the recipient opens the message, that 'D' will switch to an 'R', for 'read'. So now you know that it's actually been received by the recipient.
One more great thing about these messages is that there is no limit to length. As you're probably aware, most carriers limit text messages to 160 characters; not so with these messages, they can be much longer.
BBM and PIN messages are the same type of message, but with PIN messages you're limited to just that one contact receiving it. With BBM, you can have many contacts in on a chat or you can broadcast a message to many contacts at once.
I hope that explains things for you.

I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:

FM7.1 to FM10 : What are the advantages?

Hello,
I have to use FrameMaker on Solaris, in a networked environment.
Currently I am using 7.1 and want to move to 10.
7.1 already has serious issues with importing pdf files.(http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891661?tstart=30)
You see I need to give some good reasons to my boss so as to convince him!
So 1st I want to know if there is a stable 10 ver. that works on Solaris.
2nd-ly it would be excellent if someone can say very briefly, what are the advantages/problems in ver 10 over 7.1 for Solaris environment.
Particularly looking out answers from the user "Error7103 "!
Thanks in advance,
DP

FrameMaker 8 supports Unicode too and is faster and more stable than FrameMaker 10.
Another question that has to be considered is:
SoLarry?
Do you want to make any investments in the former Sun platforms now owned by Leisure Suit Larry Ellison?
If you are running Frame native on Solaris, you are running on SPARC workstations. Sun discontinued those over a year prior to the Oracle Assimilation. Since then, even the Solaris x86 workstations are gone. Oracle is out of the desktop biz, except for thin clients. If a seriously nasty security exploit appears for SparcStations, ORCL may not patch it promptly. As your hardware ages and fails, you may find yourself getting parts from eBay.
I suspect that the bottom line for this inquiry is that it's not likely to be a an FM7 to FM8 upgrade on Solaris, but a total platform migration to Windows. The label on that can reads: Worms: species, quantity and condition unknown.

What are the advantages..

Hi friends,
 can you please tell me what are the advantages of using MVC? because i can use ABAP Objects without using MVC.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Kannan.

Hi Kanna,
 For Dynamically componentised you need to use controller.In the main page you partition for what you want to present dynamically and then call controller as a response to the user.What the action you have take in case of Page flow logic(Event Handler) need to be placed in controller.
Using the MVC design pattern has the following advantages:
· Structuring BSP applications is simplified, since the view is cleanly separated from the controller and the model. This not only facilitates changing BSP applications, but also considerably improves their maintenance.
· You have the option of generating program-driven layout. The HTML/XML output is therefore created by program code instead of a page with scripting.
· Navigation using the <bsp:goto> element and call using the <bsp:call> element. The advantage of using <bsp:goto> navigation over redirect is that there is no additional network traffic. Furthermore, you remain in the same work process, which can have advantages for creating objects and memory space. The call using <bsp:call> element is more variable than adding them using INCLUDEdirective, since it is triggered at runtime.
With the call option using <bsp:call>, you can also distribute the user interface into components.
· Optimized performance due to fewer redirects.
· Intuitive and east-to-use interface for application development.
Main advantage of MVC is that you can keep these(Model View ,Controller) separately.If you need to change in logic you do not have to worry about presentation(View).

Albert

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PS/CS5 in 64bit over 32bit please?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PS/CS5 in 64bit over 32bit please?

From a practical perspective, besides the 64 bit version being a bit faster at just about everything, limitations on document size are lifted in the 64 bit version. Essentially, how much can do is limited only by how much RAM you have installed in your system. You can do things like have larger documents, deeper history, etc. and have it all work quickly.
On the other hand, many 3rd party plug-ins, especially older ones, only provide 32 bit versions, which will only run in 32 bit Photoshop.
Both 32 and 64 bit versions are installed by default. It's important to note that most of the preferences are separate between the two, so you can have two slightly different setups that might help with specialty operations you might need. This gets pretty subtle, but for example I keep the 32 bit version configured with only 1 cache level, so all previews of high bit depth images are always composited in high bit depth. This aids me with some aspects of astroimage processing. It's slower, but more accurate. By contrast I have more cache levels configured for my 64 bit version, so that's faster for general photography work.

what is workflow ? What are the advantages of using workflow? What are the steps for building a workflow ?

Hi Leela,
Your question is very straight question.
Better u can follow these links.

http://www.esnips.com/doc/991843e0-8686-4949-94b9-f45d90081b22/workflow
And i'll give some theory answer for ur questions
i.e.,SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
Integration
SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.
Workflow tutorials with step-by-step and with screenshots are available at http://www.****************/Tutorials/Workflow/Workflow.htm

What are the advantages of using an internal table with workarea

Hi,
can anyone tell me
What are the advantages of using an internal table with workarea
over an internal table with header line?
thnks in adv
regards
nagi

HI,
Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb35de358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
Difference between Work Area and Header Line
While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table. The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
e.g.
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.
The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row.
It is a buffer used to hold each record before it is added or each record as it is retrieved from the internal table. It is the default work area for the internal table
1) The difference between
whih header line and with out heater line of internal table.
ex:-
a) Data : itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
b) Data: itab like mara occurs 0.
-While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
-The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table.
-The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
-Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
a) Data : itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
table is with header line
b) Data: itab like mara occurs 0.
table is without header line
2)work area / field string and internal table
which one is prefarable for good performance any why ?
-The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row , whereas internal table can have more than one record.
In short u can define a workarea of an internal table which means that area must have the same structure as that of internal table and can have one record only.
Example code:
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.

What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi

What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi ?
I am modifying an existing workspace for a new product, and it seems like more work to add the vi's into a LabVIEW project
does it gain anything in the long run

Hi Rusty,
I wanted to quickly clarify on the integration between TestStand and LabVIEW Projects.
As Jeff mentioned, some of the big benefits of using LabVIEW Projects is to organize code and to namespace them.
For instance if you had a project called "Power Supply" that housed all your power supply code and had a VI in that called "Initialize", and another project called "Temperature Chamber" that also had a VI called "Initialize", both these VIs are namespaced by the project, so there is no longer confusion about which "Initialize" VI is being used.
Now from a TestStand point of view, in prior version of TestStand, we lost some of this benefit because TestStand did not know about TestStand projects and called VIs simply as un-namespaced VIs. However, in TestStand 2010 (released last year, free eval available at ni.com/teststand), we added the ability to (optionally) call VIs within the context of their projects. This means that:
VIs are now namespaced by their project, even when called from TestStand
VIs can use project specific constructs like NI-DAQmx tasks and conditional compilation settings
Note: When creating deployments, the VIs maintain their projects and namespacing, so this benefit holds true for deployments as well.
Additionally, someone had mentioned looking into using lvlibs to namespace your VIs for deployment. Two comments:
With TestStand 2010, this is no longer neccessary since the project itself namespaces the VIs
You might also want to look into LabVIEW Packed Project Libraries, which combined several VIs into a single file. Think of it as a DLL specific to LabVIEW that is as easy to call as normal LabVIEW VIs. TestStand 2010 can call VIs that are exposed by PPLs. In addition, the deployment utility can automatically pack your VIs into PPLs for deployment.
Hope this is helpful!

What are the advantages to adding a server to my home/home office system?

What are the advantages to adding a server to my home/home office system?

It's hard to give you specific answers unless we know your current setup. Any server, or specifically OS X server, may not be appropriate for your workflow.
A server is a centralized computer which can act as a file repository for other computers and devices to access. It can also centrally manage authentication for other resources (ie, have a single sign in for multiple services), can act as a web server, a calendar server, and other features. Of course, many of those things are available from other providers, but having your own server means that you have more control (and responsibility) over them.
This is a good place to start:
