Need reasons not to use SMB/win2003

hey guys,
i'm looking for reasons not to use windwos2003 as fileserver with smb for use with os x in a graphic production environment.
can someone help? just need a sum up for "internal use"
smb seems to be slower than afp
etc...
thank you!

Well, it tends to be that saving over the network from Adobe and Quark apps "just works better" over AFP than it does over SMB.
Put another way, people wouldn't be paying $4000 for a software license form Extreme-ZIP so they can serve AFP from a Windows 2003 server if there wasn't a real benefit to this. You can get an Xserve for this same $4000

Besides the pixel issue any other reason not to use iphone apps in ipad?

besides the pixel issue any other reason not to use iphone apps on ipad??

There are no technical reasons why you can't use them (unless they are some of the few apps that require full phone capability which you won't be able to install). -If you are happy with either using them in an iPhone sized portion of the screen, or with the pixelated 2x size, then use them. I use quite a few apps from my iPhone and iPod Touch, and I've got used to the pixelisation and I don't really notice it as much as I used to.

Rverese proxy sugguestions - any reason not to use ISA2006 anymore?

This is a silly question, but im just looking to publish meeting content outside the organization to external users, is there any reason for me not to use the old reverse proxy i was using for OCS2007 R2 which is ISA2006 ? i know its out of support and
all of that but fundamentally it should do what i want it to do should it not? or are there any gaping security holes in the product i could drive a truck through?

I believe ISA2006 will work for simply publishing Lync Web Services. (there wasn't too much of a change in how the publishing works from ISA 2006 to TMG that I can recall.)
I am not aware of any giant security holes in the product, mainstream support did end in 2012 and I haven't seen any updates beyond 2009.
A couple other alternatives if you don't have an appliance you can use (i.e Kemp/Citrix/F5 Loadbalancer) are:
IIS ARR http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/02/19/using-iis-arr-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-lync-server-2013.aspx
Windows 2012 R2 WAP http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2013/10/29/how-to-publish-lync-server-2013-web-services-with-windows-server-2012-r2-web-application-proxy.aspx
In fact: Microsoft actual suggest that you can use ISA here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx "You
can use Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 SP1, or Internet Information Server 7.0, 7.5 or 8.0 with Application Request Routing (IIS ARR) as a reverse proxy."

Is there any reason not to use spaces in document file names anymore in a document library?

We are revamping our sharepoint document library file naming conventions. In lots of blogs and tutorials, I have seen over and over the recommendation to use underscores instead of spaces in document file names in sharepoint. Part of this is I think to prevent
the infamous %20 in URLs pointing to the documents. That doesn't really concern us and we don't generally have file names that approach 256 characters. We don't want to go the route of having different document names than document titles so we want our
document names to be a clear and readable as possible. We think that using spaces (and occasionally dashes) in the file names makes them more readable, and sharepoint 2010 seems to be able to search these file name correctly. An example document file
name would be "elephants - how to clean elephant cages".
Has anyone run into a reason to avoid using spaces and dashes in document file names in sharepoint 2010? I don't want to start using spaces and then be sorry I did down the road. Thanks!

It isn't going to lead to the fall of western civilisation.
You will get longer and messier URLs for documents but it's very unlikely to cause issues. There have been some bugs in the past where hyphens in particular can be mis-encoded in searches but they only affect a small range of build numbers if memory serves.
I much prefer using no spaces for document libraries as it makes the starting URLs so much cleaner but that's a style question. For documents unless you've got a very strict document naming standard spaces are common and dashes aren't uncommon.

Any reason not to use microSD to SD adapter in tapeless camera?

I've been looking at getting a bunch of SD cards for my tapeless cameras, and the microSD seems to be cheaper (even with the adapter) and has better reviews than the regular SD cards.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231577
Any reason to stick with just the regular SD cards and not use the microSD with an adapter?
Thanks.

I have issues investing a shoot to an SD card..and you want to shoot to a micro Sd card!
You are a brave man so good luck.
(and.get Production Insurance).
FWIW - Any shoot I do to an SD card is "insured" by simultaneously recording to a Samurai (SSD) as well as Production insurance.

Any reason NOT to use google addsense?

sounds straight ahead. Any cons of using addsense?

The only reason I can think of is: If you care about a graphically perfect appearance of the website then don't add Ads. Not because they look bad or they have any influence on how a website appears. But imagine the painting of Monalisa by Leonardo DaVinci with Ad added on... Say an advertising for Pasta displaying on the right top of the painting... It's not unesthetic but it wouldn't be the same painting anymore and wouldn't be visited at the Louvre by hundreds of thousands of people (ok... maybe it would...)
I hope you got what I meant to say

Another reason NOT to use nvide for opticals .

Yesterday i was going to rip a cd of marc anthony with sony copyprotection with "Easy CD-DA Extractor 7.0" for
transfering it to the wifes MP3 player (note! a legal copy for own usage) .I even tried EAC which should also work with protected cds .
It was totally impossible .
Then after some thinking i descided to revert the IDE controller driver for the PATA channel where
the optical where located back to microsoft (again) .
Guess what , the nvidia ide drivers was the culprit .
So , to sum it up . I'm never going to use the nvide at the PATA controller anymore .
Only for the serial ata controllers .

I install (NCQ on nv sata/raid0 for NF4) but then roll back the ide portion of the controllers to the native ms XP controllers. This works. Your experience with the newest nv sw controllers tells me there are still issues present. And after being hosed so many times, it just doesn't make sense to use them.

Any reason not to use Airport Express?

I'm about to purchase a Airport Extreme Base Station to go wireless but have a question concerning connection of an older iMac G4 FP. Based on specs I need to get an older Airport Card for the iMac but with the high prices for these cards I'm considering just getting an AE instead and setting it up as a bridge. Figure that it's a wiser investment since I can later use the AE when I retire the iMac.
Is there anything I'm overlooking that would discourage this approach and make purchasing the Airport card a better solution?
Thanks,
Mark
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

In order to use an Airport Express in this manner you need to use WDS which a) some people find complicated b) halves the wireless bandwidth (only relevant for internal network file transfers).
Personally I would recommend an ethernet wireless bridge.
Examples of Ethernet wireless adapters are the Linksys WET11, Linksys WET54G, and the Buffalo Technology WLI-TX4-G54HP bridge.

When is too simple, reasoning not to use Java?

I wish to write a small program which gives the user 6 or 7 options. When the associated radio button is selected, a different executable file will be executed.
Is this overkill to script this with Java? Should I be simply writing a batch file for this operation?
Advice please.

If "batch" means Windows scripting language, I'd say that's a poor choice.
Who really cares? A small app like that won't be hurt much by using a solution that's less than optimal.

I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library. When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". need help

I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library. When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". But when I have my external hard drive plug in the song will play with no problem. What do I need to do to play my music without having the external harddrive plug in ???????? Please help

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working. The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks. I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work. The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display. Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays. The need for operating USB ports is essential. Any ideas. The display appears entirely normal. Am running OS X 10.9.

Disregard, problem solved.

The CC version will not activate with your perpetual CS6 license. Download the version from here:

Your number should work with this version.
