Oh what a difference a pro server makes!

Hi,
Yes, I'm done with iDisk as far as iWeb is concerned. And I won't renew my dot mac subscription come next Summer. This is a joke. Unless there's a MAJOR overhaul of this server.
iWeb is awesome for a version 1 and I will use it for a long while if it passes the test of the first year... It's truly great. So, no problem there. The real issue is iDisk slowness and I have found my solution.
I am now publishing via a true professional web server (pair Networks) where I have had a account for several years. Rock solid. No bells and whistles. This is also where I have configured my domain name, which is simple enough ( it's my name) and people can remember it easily. It's not a iDik address...
Okay, but the angst I had was the uploading (FTP) of my iWeb website daily updates without having to upload the whole 25 meg+ each time.
Well, the solution is simple and quite efficient. I use the excellent FTP software called Transmit by Panic Software, (http://www.panic.com) which uploads only the changed files. Mirror synchro is my method.
Oh sure, you still have to publish to your local folder (and that't the longest part of the process, geez!).
Having publish to my local folder, the beauty of the Transmit solution is that it takes just a few seconds...
Now, the real beauty is that my personal iWeb website loads in Safari in a snap! Of course it does: it's on a professional webserver.
Clear the Safari cache and click on this URL (I have nothing to promote or sell):
http://www.normandlepine.com
Now, clear the cache again and go see the same website on iDisk here:
http://web.mac.com/normandlepine/iWeb/Site/TempusFugit.html
The difference should be obvious without using a watch. The graphic rendering is astonishing on the pro server and lame on the iDisk. And one more thing: it's much faster with Firefox or Shiira!
I am a "half" happy camper this morning but still wish to share my work-around solution with all the frustrated iDisk users out there. "Half" happy because I thought Apple always did "insanely great" things (I believe that's what Steve Jobs used to say in the '80s). They blew it big time with iDisk and I am extremely disappointed.
DigitalAudio, G5 Dual 1.8, PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Tom,
I timed it now. Using Safari, it's 4 secs for iDisk and 2 for the Pair server. I timed the full redraw of my "homepage". That's a full 100% increase. It means a lot when you get to my photo albums.
One more thing: iDisk is always faster in the morning (when the West coast is still sleeping). It gets to a crawl around 1 PM. But the speed I get from my Pair server is practically constant all day.
I am using an Extreme High Speed cable subscription here. Costs about $60 US a month.
The computer I'm using for my web work is a Digital Audio (+ Sonnet 1 gHz upgrade cpu).
From my vantage point, I see a huge difference in loading time. "My" experience. Your mileage may vary as they say.

Difference between application server and central instance

Hi everyone,
whats the difference between application server and central instance and message server. where it will be installed. and how?
Regards
Basis Fresher

Hi,
just want to clarify that is is not correct that only one enqueue process can be configured on the CI.
Please see the documentation within transaction RZ11 for the parameter Parameter : rdisp/wp_no_enq
Short description : number of enqueue work processes
Parameter description :
You can use this parameter to define the number of enqueue work processes for the instance.
Ensure that a value >0 is only set on the central instance that provides the enqueue server (instance rdisp/enqname ). One enqueue work process on the central instance is normally sufficient (rdisp/wp_no_enq = 1); only in very large systems can a higher value be useful.
Kind Regards

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management
Thanks
Shashikala

This is the basic difference...check if helps:
A 32-bit CPU running 32-bit software (also known as the x86 platform) is so named because it is based on an architecture that can manipulate values that are up to 32 bits in length. This means that a 32-bit memory pointer can store a value between 0 and
4,294,967,295 to reference a memory address. This equates to a maximum addressable space of 4GB on 32-bit platforms
On the other hand 64-bit limit of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616, this number is so large that in memory/storage terminology it equates to 16 exabytes. You don’t come across that term very often, so to help understand the scale, here is the value converted to
more commonly used measurements: 16 exabytes = 16,777,216 petabytes (16 million PB)➤ 17,179,869,184 terabytes (17 billion TB)➤ 17,592,186,044,416 gigabytes (17 trillion GB)➤
As you can see, it is signiﬁcantly larger than the 4GB virtual address space usable in 32-bit systems; it’s so large in fact that any hardware capable of using it all is sadly restricted to the realm of science ﬁction. Because of this, processor manufacturers
decided to only implement a 44-bit address bus, which provides a virtual address space on 64-bit systems of 16TB. This was regarded as being more than enough address space for the foreseeable future and logically it’s split into an 8TB range for user mode
and 8TB for kernel mode. Each 64-bit process running on an x64 platform will be able to address up to 8TB of VAS.

What is the difference between Component,Server,Tool and Software?

HI,
What is the difference between Component,Server,Tool and Software?
SHABEER

Hi
Every individual part that constitutes in making an SAP System is called a COMPONENT.e.g DB instance, Java CI, ABAP CI etc
SERVER is the actual composition of different components of SAP.e.g. a database alongwith can instance would constitue an application server.
TOOLS are the products from different organisations (SAP or Non SAP) that can be used for different functionalities like keeping a check on jobs, monitoring of the system , e.g Tivoli
SOFTWARES are a kind of tool that help you to bring up results from the system in a user acceptable format. These are utilities that act as interfaces between the user and the system.

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

A iPad is a touchbased tablet, it has a poor Atom level dual core processor that can do some things, but not a whole lot. The storage isn't so great on them and it needs a computer to operate. Can only run software from the App Store.
The MacBook Air is a lightweight laptop with a real keyboard, but limited other features like no cd/dvd drive, it's the best for ultimate portability and lightweight uses with good features. Can run a lot of third party software no problem.
The MacBook Pro 13" is a mid range laptop with cd/dvd drive, but poor integrated graphics. (little 3D gaming)
The MacBook Pro 2.0Ghz is slightly above that, it has both a integrated graphics and a dedicated graphics card with about the same performance. (not good for 3D gaming)
The 2.2, 2.3 Ghz 15" and 17" MacBook Pro's are professional level laptops and 3D gamers machines with very powerful graphics cards, these are the crown jewel machines in Apple's lineup.

What is the difference between SQL Server 2012 R2 & SQL Server 2014

I am using SQL Server from last 3 years. I started SQL Server 2008 R2. Now I am using SQL Server 2012. I want to change my development environment to SQL Server 2012 R2. But suddenly I saw that SQL Server 2014 is released. I want to know what are the
differences between SQL Server 2012 R2 & SQL Server 2014. Are both those are the same or different products?
I searched through the Internet but I didn't find any article regarding that. So could someone help me to solve this matter?
Thanks,

why apple dont make siri on ipod touch 4 and iphone 4??? whats the difference??

The iPhone 4S has at least twice the memory and twice the processing power than the 4G iPod. That may be why Siri is onon the iPhone 4S. Apple has not really given a reason.

Whats the best way to move from mac mini server to Mac pro server?

Hi everyone. I am currently running a mac mini server and it's maxed out. I have just purchased a Mac Pro server and I was wondering if anyone has moved there data in a similar scenario. Is it as simple as restoring a time machine backup to the new server? Any insight would most appreciated as I need this to go smoothly. Thank you.

Apple's official Time Machine documentation says NOT to use TM to back up an entire server.
The reason being is that it will NOT properly back up your databases. The three in question most often used with OS X server is the Mail DB, the MySQL DB and the Open Directory.
Database experience tells me that reason behind their not supporting Databases is the issue with reading info that's being written to or read from while TM is doing it's thing. It's likely that if the server is under load when the time machine backs up, you're going to get an inconsistent copy.
The ONLY apple documented GUI method of restoring a server is by using the Setup Assistant during the initial setup of a server. (using a firewire cable to connect and having your old server in target disk mode)
This in fact I would say is the most reliable method of migration.
(my 2 cents)
Write more and let us know how the new server works on a continual basis! I've not heard of anyone having a successful restore taken from a live server.
-Graham

Oh what a difference a pro server makes!
