In the language preferences, what is the difference between British English, English, US English-

I mean, I do know that there's differences like -our or -or in the language, but what exactly is "English"? It's apparently not British English, not Australian English, not Canadian English, not US English. What is it? Is it a mix of everything?
I would have thought that "English" is the real one (from England I mean) but apparently it isn't since there's "British English".
Maybe someone knows

British English, Canadian English, and American English are each a little different. I did not specifically look at the selection you are describing but I assume that if you want American English you select it. If you want British English you select it. If you are Canadian or some other English speaking nationality then you would select English.
But this is only an assumption on my part because as I said I did not check out your selection options and their differences.
Really?? I would never have guessed

  • What is the difference between Mac OS in different languages?

    I am thinking about buying a Mac with the new Intel processor. Here in Japan Apple only sells Macs with MacOS X in Japanese. However, my Japanese is far from good enough to use it if it is completely in Japanese. I know that in other Apple Online stores there are several options like in Germany with German and Intl. English MacOS. This is not offered in Japan at this time.
    My question though is: I thought MacOS X can be switched to other languages. (System Preferences - International) But the distinction in the online shop made me hesitate. Is it possible to switch any Mac OS X for instance to English (and the other languages mentioned in the technical details web page of MacOSX)? Once switched would it be the same as if bought as International English?
    What exactly is the difference between the different MacOSX language versions sold in the Apple Store?
    Thx, Gerald
      Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    If I just have to switch it I don't fully understand
    why the Apple Store does offer different options with
    different MacOSX language. In the German store for
    instance there is
    1. intl. english keyboard with intl.english macos
    2. german keyboard with german macos
    3. german keyboard with intl.english macos
    So if it is a simple OS reconfiguration it seems a
    little bit overfeatured to offer different options in
    the store just to make a little tweak...
    Because a new user needs to fill in data, etc when setting up the computer, marketing people want to make sure the user can have their native or favorite language from the first moment, even if after setup it takes about 5 seconds to switch from German to English or vice versa.
    The OS is exactly the same, as others have said, and can be switch among 15 languages in less time than it takes to write this sentence. The big difference is usually the keyboard. A German keyboard for example is a lot different than a US one (qwertz instead of qwerty).

  • 1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari. It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default.

    1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari.
    It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default. It's tyering when have to do it everyday a few times. (Yes, i'm one of many who have the "i like safari but since the update crash everyday a few times" syndrome...
    Yes, i have updated my system.
    Yes, i have repared disk permissions with disk utility.
    Am open for any other help in both cases. Thank you upfront
    2. and the "tell websites not to track me" under Safari - Preference - Privacy.

    That box should prevent websites using trackers to log your movements on the Web to benefit advertisers. I have no idea if it does.
    Safari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
    In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:
    http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-make-safaris-private-browsing-fea ture-actually-private/
    http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9054
    and then Apple's own advice from here: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/privacy_safari.html
    "Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
    which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
    To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
    http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
    which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:
    From this website:
    http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/
    For those who do not know about Flash cookies, more properly referred to as Local Shared Objects (LSO), they operate in a similar way to regular browser cookies but are stored outside the purview of your browser, meaning you cannot delete them from within your browser, whether Safari, Firefox, Opera or any other. Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is  delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here.
    In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
    /User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
    The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:
    /User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
    In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes all the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings.
    Flush can be downloaded from that page.
    If you want to retain certain Flash cookies but not others, the excellent add-on for Safari called SafariCookies now includes a setting for automatically deleting flash cookies you don't want to retain, when Safari is shut down, in the same as it deals with ordinary cookies:
    http://www.sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/index.htm
    which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff!
    This article covers the issue in more depth:
    http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
    Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet".
    "I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said.
    "I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software."
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10787882
    And a more recent article:

    [b]Tracker cookies and the invisible web:[/b]
    – tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior.
    Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.
    http://www.ghostery.com/about
    This provides an extension to Safari (also available for other browsers) that shows you what data tracking is active on each web page you visit, and enables you to block them.

  • What is the differents between Policies and Preferences in Group policy Management Editor

    What is the differents between Policies and Preferences in Group policy Management Editor?

    Policies: If you delete a policy in GPO it deletes its registry files form the clients. Policies don't tattoo the registry. Policies Settings are permanent as long policy is in effect i.e. Desktop Backgrond. Policies are applied at Computer
    Startup, User logon and Manual and automatic refresh. Takes Precedence over Preferences.
    Preferences: Even if you delete a policy form Preferences tab the registry files will still available on the systems. Preferences tattooed the registry if you want to remove the registry entries you have to do it manually. Preferences exampl
    is i.e. mapped drive. Settings applied with preferences are not grayed out. Not available in Local GPO.

  • I want to reserve a static IP address on my Airport extreme.  What is the difference between reserving by MAC Address and DHCP Client ID?

    I want to understand the differences in the way you can reserve a static address for a device on the network.  I had previously set the device itself to an address and then reserved it with DHCP Client ID, which I thought was just the devices static addresss.  I'm not sure if this was in fact correct or just happend to work.  I know what a MAC address is, but I'm not really sure what the DHCP Client ID is. So it would be great if someone could clarify it, and the difference between reserving address by MAC Address or DHCP Client ID.

    A MAC address is a unique identification consisting of letters and numbers in a form that looks like this:
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    Every network device has a MAC address, which can be found on a label on the bottom or back of the device. Apple calls this the Ethernet ID.
    A DHCP Client ID is an optional name that you can assign to a device. For example, on your Mac....
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Network
    Click on Ethernet
    Click Advanced at the lower right
    You may be able to edit the DHCP Client  ID here....for example.....you could enter MJ500's MacBook in the space provided. That would be the Client ID of your Mac.

  • What is the newest GTS/GRC Release? Where is the difference between GRC/GTS

    Hi Folks,
    I am glad cause I found this forum.
    What is the newest GTS Release?
    I am a bit confused cause I saw
    GTS 7.1 must be the newest.
    But also there is a GRC 8.0 but I think this is not a GTS this is a GRC only for Governance
    G = Governance R = Risk C = Compliance.
    Where is the difference between GRC and GTS?
    Hope you can bring some light into this shelter.
    Regards
    Dieter

    Actually it is GRC GTS 8.0.
    But there will be soon GRC GTS 10.0
    As you see the "full" name is GRC GTS.
    But there are also some other GRC solutions.
    As far as i know GRC is a more strategic tool. Eg. to get AEO Certificate or to minimize risk of a compay.
    GTS is used for the daily foreign trade business (import/export/SPL,trade preference).

  • What's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"

    Just re-install a new OS X Lion. On the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, what's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"?

    Your computer name by default would be "John David Appleseed's Macbook Pro"
    But you can always change that in System Preferences->Sharing
    And yes, the first account you set up will be an administrator.

    One more thing, if you do not have the hard drive icon on the desktop you can get it there by:
    click on the desktop so the menu bar says Finder next to the apple logo, click Finder, then Preferences, General, Show These Items on desktop and check the hard disks:
    That makes life a lot easier when you want to find out information.

  • What's the difference between full & large when importing video?

    In my preference menu, it shows I can import video as either full-original size or large-960x540. Does it make a difference in the size of the file, in the quality of the view, in what can be done with the file? Also, can I determine whether I want it imported as a .mov or .dv or .iprojectimovie? Thanks

    since vers08, it is a well-known fact, that iM can not handle interlaced material, there are tons of threads on this topic alone on this board. and it seems as though, that iM does a very 'simple' de-interlacing, by dropping one field: 1920x1080i => 1920x540'p'
    I don't like to go into detail, but modern hardware, beyond tubes and arial broadcast, doesn't use, can not handle interlace, any flat-screen, computer or TV, de-interlaces anyhow.
    so, if you need for any reason, that extra horizontal resolution, keep it full, otherwise use large.

  • What are the differences between Cartweaver CF and PHP?

    I am on my final step of finishing the webpage that I am building and saw Cartweaver for a shopping cart that is compatible with dreamweaver. But I looked into the site and hey didnt give an explanation between the CF and PHP version. So I would like to know the differences and which one would work best with Dreamweaver Cs6.

    Hi Kendall,
    As far as application differences, functionality wise, there is no difference. Both Cartweaver 4 CF and Cartweaver 4 PHP function and present themselves exactly the same. As far as implementation there are very subtle differences due the the way CF and PHP work, but they both are very close and use "includes" to place the Cartweaver functionality in your site penetration pages.  The web based store admins work exactly the same for both.  So you get the same results no matter which direction you go.
    Now what is the difference between PHP and ColdFusion?  That is a very important question as it will impact what platform you use from now on - for this site, and possably future sites you build so this is worth taking a little time to consider.
    Which is best?  Well this could lead to a discussion like which is best Mac or PC?  There are evangelists and zealots on both sides. The real truth of the matter is both are good choices, you just need to decide which is best, for you.  One poster said "what does your host support"  -  good point, but if you are new to working with dynamic web sites and are deciding what platform you want to go with there are more important factors to consider than what your current host supports. You can always select a different host.
    The biggest difference between CF and PHP is they way they are written - PHP is script pasted, much like JavaScript, CFML is tag based much like html. Because of this CFML is often a little easier to learn because it's a bit easier to look at something and figure out what it's doing.  So you may want to take a little time looking at this aspect. 
    Fact is though, with either one because Cartweaver does the vast majority of anything to do with code for you, learning the language is something you may not choose to do anyway.  An advantage to PHP is that it has much wider support, so finding developers to help out, or hosts can easier with PHP. So if you don't have any desire to dig in and learn code as you go and only want to learn what's necessary to get your shopping cart site up, then the steps and learning curve are pretty much the same and PHP may be a good way to go.  If this raises more questions than it answerers, let me know I'd be happy to discuss this more with you offline.
    So, back to the basics - from a functionality point, they are both the same. You only need to choose which platform you think will work best for you and go from there.
    I hope this helps. If you have any other questions at all, ask away.

  • What is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function

    hi,
    what is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function module.

    Hi
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.

  • What's the difference between Screen Sharing and Remote Management?

    As the title asks. What is the difference between the two?
    Because heres the thing. I set Screen Sharing on in Sharing. Then a few days later I will go back to the Sharing preferences and instead of Screen Sharing being checked. Remote Management is now checked, not Screen Sharing. What's the deal? Is that normal?
    I was wondering if it was because I log into my iMac sometimes using my iPhone with that Mocha VNC program. Its the only program I use to remotely control my computer. Is that it?
    Any help I can get is appreciated! Thanks!

    Remote Management provides support for the additional functionality of Apple Remote Desktop as compared to a standard VNC setup. The options are otherwise identical.

  • Whats the difference between these versions of photoshop?

    First of all to make things clear I want to mention this first that I lives in Pakistan and Adobe doesn't support my region so in order to buy the Adobe Photoshop CC I have to contact the authorized resellers, after contacting them and asking for a invoice proposal for Adobe Photoshop CC, they send me several invoice proposals (per user team liscense). But I just got in a trouble as these proposals are offering Photoshop CC different versions so its like kinda making me double mind, i am just confused which to buy as prices are differ too and kinda noticeable. As for making my intentions clear I also wanna mention that I am looking for Single App Liscense i mean i just wanna buy Photoshop CC thats it. But for sure its not gonna be that photography version nor student one. Also i wanna know that whats the difference between these two versions and also tell me the pros and cons.
    So please help me choose which one is better for me as I am really confused with it.
    Here are the links
    Note: You will have to translate these pages into english
    Link one:
    [65224660BA01A12] ราคาพิเศษ จำหน่าย Photoshop CC ALL Multiple Platforms Multi Asian Languages Licensing Subscription Mo…
    Link two:
    [65226001BA01A12] ราคาพิเศษ จำหน่าย Photoshop CC ALL Multiple Platforms Multi Asian Languages Licensing Subscription Mo…
    I've attached screenshots too

    The features in both of the Photoshop CC are identical, there is a difference in price because, the higher priced is the original Photoshop price, the less priced is the promotional priced Photoshop CC eligible only if you have CS3 or later version of Adobe creative suite product.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • 10.4.6 updaters for IiMac. What's the difference between the choices?

    It seems there are 3 choices for this update:
    1) Going through the "software update" pulldown menu on my desktop which is about 100mb
    2) On the "apple downloads" page there is one that is 163mb that seems appropriate and
    3) a "combo" version that is 191mb that also seems appropriate
    I simply used the one from the pulldown menu on my desktop, but what is the difference between the 3 and are there advantages/disadvantages to any specific method or version so for the next time there is an update i pick the more "appropriate" version?
    Thanks

    just choose "software update" from your "system preferences" to do the job. It checks your system and chooses teh updates that might be needed. It's probably because you own an "intel mac' the update in software update is only 100 mb. You don't need the combo therefore (combo for 'intel macs' and 'old macs').
