Pros and cons of 'smart preview' over ordinary preview?

I'm pondering how to use smart previews, and the only drawback I can see of using smart previews instead of traditional previews is that there's no 100% smart preview - the images are downsized to 2048 for smart previews, whereas traditional previews can be 1:1.
Aside from that, the smart preview seems better in every way.
I guess they can work in tandem - the 1:1 preview rendering the image quickly in loupe view comes to mind - but does it make sense to generate both smart and traditional previews?
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
- Steven

there is some overlap
Not much. Smart preview is unbaked substitute for raw file, used for develop/export (i.e. when rendering is done). Regular preview (aka library preview), is for a quick view - no rendering done.

so for me they're often taking the pace of regular previews.
I dunno about "taking the place" but it's true if photos are offline, regular previews will be created by rendering smart previews, instead of raw file.

Pros and Cons of using REST over JMS (and other technologies)

Hey all,
I am working on a project where we were using JMS initially to send messages between servers. Our front end servers have a RESTful API and use JEE6, with EJB 3.1 entity beans connected to a mysql database and so forth. The back end servers are more like "agents" so to speak.. we send some work for them to do, they do it. They are deployed in GlassFish 3.1 as well, but initially I was using JMS to listen to messages. I learned that JMS onMessage() is not threaded, so in order to facilitate handling of potentially hundreds of messages at once, I had to implement my own threading framework. Basically I used the Executor class. I could have used MDBs, but they are a lot more heavyweight than I needed, as the code within the onMessage was not using any of the container services.
We ran into other issues, such as deploying our app in a distributed architecture in the cloud like EC2 was painful at best. Currently the cloud services we found don't support multi-cast so the nice "discover" feature for clustering JMS and other applications wasn't going to work. For some odd reason there seems to be little info on building out a scalable JEE application in the cloud. Even the EC2 techs, and RackSpace and two others had nobody that understood how to do it.
So in light of this, plus the data we were sending via JMS was a number of different types that had to all be together in a group to be processed.. I started looking at using REST. Java/Jersey (JAX-RS) is so easy to implement and has thus far had wide industry adoption. The fact that our API is already using it on the front end meant I could re-use some of the representations on the back end servers, while a few had to be modified as our public API was not quite needed in full on the back end. Replacing JMS took about a day or so to put the "onmessage" handler into a REST form on the back end servers. Being able to submit an object (via JAXB) from the front servers to the back servers was much nicer to work with than building up a MapMessage object full of Map objects to contain the variety of data elements we needed to send as a group to our back end servers. Since it goes as XML, I am looking at using gzip as well, which should compress it by about 90% or so, making it use much less bandwidth and thus be faster. I don't know how JMS handles large messages. We were using HornetQ server and client.
So I am curious what anyone thinks.. especially anyone that is knowledgeable with JMS and may understand REST as well. What benefits do we lose out on via JMS. Mind you, we were using a single queue and not broadcasting messages.. we wanted to make sure that one and only one end server got the message and handled it.
Thanks..look forward to anyone's thoughts on this.

Thank you for the reply. One of the main reasons to switch to REST was JMS is strongly tied to Java. While I believe it can work with other message brokers that other platforms/languages can also use, we didn't want to spend more time researching all those paths. REST is very simple, works very well and is easy to implement in almost any language and platform. Our architecture is basically a front end rest API consumed by clients, and the back end servers are more like worker threads. We apply a set of rules, validations, and such on the front end, then send the work to be done to the back end. We could do it all in one server tier, but we also want to allow other 3rd parties to implement the "worker" server pieces in their own domains with their own language/platform of choice. Now, with this model, they simply provide a URL to send some REST calls to, and send some REST calls back to our servers.well, this sounds like this would be one of those requirements which might make jms not a good fit. as ejp mentioned, message brokers usually have bindings in multiple languages, so jms does not necessarily restrict you from using other languages/platforms as the worker nodes. using a REST based api certainly makes that more simple, though.
As for load balancing, I am not entirely sure how glassfish or JBoss does it. Last time I did anything with scaling, it involved load balancers in front of servers that were session/cookie aware for stateful needs, and could round robin or based on some load factor on each server send requests to appropriate servers in a cluster. If you're saying that JBoss and/or GlassFish no longer need that.. then how is it done? I read up on HornetQ where a request sent to one ip/hornetq server could "discover" other servers in a cluster and balance the load by sending requests to other hornetq servers. I assume this is how the JEE containers are now doing it? The problem with that to me is.. you have one server that is loaded with all incoming traffic and then has to resend it on to other servers in the cluster. With enough load, it seems that the glassfish or jboss server become a load balancer and not doing what they were designed to do.. be a JEE container. I don't recall now if load balancing is in the spec or not..I would think it would not be required to be part of a container though, including session replication and such? Is that part of the spec now?you are confusing many different types of scaling. different layers of the jee stack scale in different ways. you usually scale/load balance at the web layer by putting a load balancer in front of your servers. at the ejb layer, however, you don't necessarily need that. in jboss, the client-side stub for invoking remote ejbs in a cluster will actually include the addresses for all the boxes and do some sort of work distribution itself. so, no given ejb server would be receiving all the incoming load. for jms, again, there are various points of work to consider. you have the message broker itself which is scaled/load balanced in whatever fashion it supports (don't know many details on actual message broker impls). but, for the mdbs themselves, each jee server is pretty independent. each jee server in the cluster will start a pool of mdbs and setup a connection to the relevant queue. then, the incoming messages will be distributed to the various servers and mdbs accordingly. again, no single box will be more loaded than any other.
load balancing/clustering is not part of the jee "spec", but it is one of the many features that a decent jee server will handle for you. the point of jee was to specify patterns for doing work which, if followed, allow the app server to do all the "hard" parts. some of those features are required (transactions, authentication, etc), and some of those features are not (clustering, load-balancing, other robustness features).
I still would think dedicated load balancers, whether physical hardware or virtual software running in a cloud/VM setup would be a better solution for handling load to different tiers?like i said, that depends on the tier. makes sense in some situations, not others. (for one thing, load-balancers tend to be http based, so they don't work so well for non-http protocols.)

What are the Pros and Cons of Using Batch Numbers over Serialization

Dear SAP Gurus:
Will someone please give me the benefits of using Batch Management over serial numbers in this case scenerio, or vice versa:
Client wants to trace all the components of an assembly in a BOM. Even the Raw material. The client sends the material out today and has the vendor assign serial numbers to the individual pieces, the client gives the range of serial numbers to use. We are looking at using batch numbers to accomplish this and issue one material and batch number to a production order. Then use MB56 batch where used functionality to view history. I am wanting to understand the benefits of this. Please advise and points will be awarded as always.
Also, in this scenerio, can you issue multiple material/batch numbers to one vendor op that has its own production order?

Yes it is a subcontract.
Example: This is the solution but need the pros and cons of doing this scenerio
Sheet of metal sent to vendor to make lets say 1800 peices of material number nas5703-01. All 1800 pieces come back and issued to a production work order using one bacth number for one material item so that batch number can be traced in history in MB56 and a fit up report.

What are the pros and cons using Active Data Guard vs Data Guard?

My understanding is that Active Data Guard is an additional database option for Oracle 11gR2 Enterprise Edition. I need to know the pros and cons using Active Data Guard vs Data Guard in order to decide whether to get pay extra for the Active Data Guard.
Thanks for any help.

Hemant K Chitale wrote:
Before jumping in to Active Data Guard, one needs to evaluate :
a. Is there really a need to run queries on the Standby ? The Standby could / should be at a remote site so queries are "across the network". Depending on the nature of the queries and the volume of output, the "performance" of the queries may not seem to be the same.
b. If the database is not in Maximum Protection mode, the data "seen" at the standby may not be in "real-time" synch
c. Not all applications are truely read-only when querying. Some applications use "jobs" that write to tables when querying. Such would not work with Active DataGuard. (example : EBusiness Suite). There are very complicated ways of handling this -- and one needs to consider if the complications can be introduced and supported.
Over the network accessing standby read only is really not an good idea, I think no one will compare performance with primary and standby,
But some of them they want to validate data which are very critical, as it is matching with primary or not, Its an added advantage with ACTIVE DATAGUARD
Prior to that until unless stop MRP, open database and then we need to validate, So there is an interruption of recovery, I can say its also an advantage where there is no interruption of recovery.

My PROs And CONs Opinion of This New Forum

Hello,
Since I've only been a member for a short time; my exposure has been limited; however, my opinions follow:
PROs
This forum has excellent support from "volunteer moderators" and Lenovo Staff. They are literally "all over the place" trying to assist in any way they can.
I like the forum layout; in that, it is categorized by "machine types" rather than desktop, laptop, hardware, software, audio, etc.
CONs
Some of the threads have grown to such an enormous size (I saw one with 517 replies) they have become almost useless. These enormous threads signal one of two things in my opinion. First, either the problem, presented by the original poster, has existed for quite some time without resolution and many keep reporting the same problem or the thread has just become a "me too" dumping ground. In any event, I would recommend that this forum's support group get together and evaluate the pros and cons of keeping super-large threads open for continued response by members of the community.
BTW, I'm marking this thread as an accepted solution because it is my opinion.
Best regards,

What are the pros and cons re using an intel iMac vs MacPro with LP8?

I'm considering getting a new intel Mac in the near future (presuming a new MacPro will be released in the near future - maybe at the same time as Leopard). I compose largely for film and television and I am composing largely using a combination of loops, software instruments and some recorded live performance. I usually sync to a low res quicktime movie.
I do like the idea of a simple and uncluttered work environment with an iMac, added to which there's also a degree of portability with the iMac however the MacPro is obviously more powerful. I'm not sure how much the difference in power between the two computers would affect me.
Would I be compromising myself much if I went for the iMac over the MacPro? What are the pros and cons of the iMac vs the MacPro in relation to Logic Pro 8?

In the world large-scale music composition using samples, loops, etc (especially for film) your two biggest needs are RAM and HD speed/access. The imac looses big time in this department (as a single computer at least) as it can only be upgraded to 4gb ram, and only holds one internal HD, and also lacks any PCI expansion for DSP cards, audio interfaces, etc.
In generalyou want to separate your data vs applications as much as possible, to ensure both can be accessed quickly and easily by the computer. So its best to have your system software / applications on one internal HD, and your logic data (samples, audio recordings, loops) on another drive(s). You can do this with an iMac via USB, FW800, & FW400, but depending on how big your projects get, how many USB and FW drives / interfaces you use, and how much data you need to stream, you could overload the buss on the imac (not sure if it has multiple busses or not). Plus speed wise, internal SATA are much faster than external drives, and the mac pro with its 4 internal slots seems like a great choice for speed and flexibility.
However, if you dont find yourself doing large scale projects, then you might be better off going with an imac. We just purchased one for my father and it runs great! It blows the socks off of my Dual 2.5 G5 tower in terms of CPU speed! If you run into problems running things from the imac, you could always add a mac-mini down the road to stream sample libs, as a Logic node, etc, which seems to be a much more cost effective solution.
I hope this was helpful, but I probably just made the decision harder . In fact, if I were to start over today, I dont know if I'd go with a MacPro, or an iMac / mac mini combination. they both seem to have their advantages / disadvantages.
Best of luck!

Pros and Cons of Clustering switches

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of clustering switches? It sound like its just for managing multiple switches or is it more trouble that its worth?
TIA

Hi,
well it has advantages as well as some flaws imho.
Advantage:
- Very scalable at low cost. You can add a lot of models onto a stack, ranging from 12port to 48 port, from 100Base-X Uplink to 10Gig-Uplink, with or without PoE with just the buying of a new switch. In modular switches, you have to buy the chassis and then add modules on it which might not come as divers as standalone-switches.
- A somewhat higher redundancy. Spread the uplinks onto different switches in the stack and you'll have nearly no single point of failure (enviromental errors such as power not considered), whereas modular switches always have the backplane as (very rare) spe... and, if your not rockefeller, is the single supervisor engine.
- You can spread a stack (with 3750) over some distance, at least more than on a modular switch. That gives you enough room to implement some cable-routing facilities inbetween the switches.
Disadvantages:
- surely the need for more power outlets, one for each switch
- management, as stated on previous post (well, it's quite similar to modular switches but not exactly, just have a look at snmp, it's a mess on stacks :-( )
- heat dissipation (not really checked on that). X powersupplies generate more heat than Y, if Y < X...

SAPSPRINT vs Local Printers (Pro and Cons)

Hi guys.
Anyone can help me out citing pro and cons by installing a SAPSPRINT over windows vs having printers installed directy over the Iseries Server.
Its planned to install productive printers which are very critical, so we would like to devise the best approach.
By installing the SAPSPRINT would avoid the bottlenecks if the printers are installed locally?
Thanks!

Hi Markus, nice to see you.
I agree with the fact that a central print server you can have a better administration of your printers.
My concern is that based on Note 19706 - Tuning the Spooler, productive printers must never be defined with access type U or S, and all printers created on that print server are type U, which is the recommended access method for remote printers.
Group 1 (Productive printer):
All printers with the shortest possible response time.
For example: Goods receipt/issue sheets, delivery notes, patient entry sheets,...
Printers with a fast response (Group 1):
Devices with short response times must NEVER be defined with access type 'U' or 'S'. When a problem occurs (e.g. network problems, PC is switched off etc.), a single printer linked to a work process by access type 'U' disturbs all the connected printers. All printers in this group MUST be linked with access type 'L' or 'C' (depending on the operating system). If they are not linked to the server, they must be defined in the host spooler as "remote printers" and forwarded via the the host spooler.
So why this note recommends to put printers locally in order avoid network issues and so on, but SAP also recommends a SAPSPRINT as printing solution?
Does SAPSPRINT overrule any recommendation to local printers and is a definite solution way better than local printing?
Thanks Markus again

Neptune for UI development Pros and Cons

Hi ,
we are evaluating neptune for UI development for what are the pros and cons of using neptune.
i see only that webdynpro abap developer can be easily moved to neptune , some javascript knowledge is still required.
some question
1) can neptune make calls to odata services ? do that requires code in javascript or ABAP
2) any accelerators provided by neptune like for workflow scenarios , list and details .
3) can sap standard fiori apps extensibility or modification is possible through neptune
4) security if its accessing business functionality directly
regards
Yashpal

Hi Yashpal,
I will give you my view, but as Robbe says I work for the company and other SAP developers like DJ Adams has other development tool preferences than me ( I call his Sublime Text development spaghetti coding and he sees Neptune as a crutch that restricts a developer's freedom but this is just a friendly point-of-view discussion and I have promised him a beer in Walldorf next time our paths cross there)
So the important message is that SAP has opened up their platform for different development tools and it is now a choice for the individual developer or SAP customer. This is a fantastic move by SAP and I think a bit overlooked by the community, Look at the new Xamarin partnership as an example (and yes they are a competitor, but I did mention them )
Now the pros of Neptune are in my opinion:
ABAP developer friendly development (removed 90% of JavaScripting needed)
Connected to the SAP transport System (Software Logistics as is)
Drag Drop designer that gives structured code (easy for a new developer to take over code, compared to the spaghetti provided by DJ <- I'll need to buy a few extra beers for that remark)
Native json communication provided by the Neptune Server (you can argue all you want about Odata, our solution is more flexible gives incredible performance and superb and easy to use offline capabilities)
Integration with Adobe build, use an SAP program to generate hybrid apps (The average ABAP developer does not install cordova and build hybrid apps - with Neptune he/she does)
Integration with SMP. Automatic connection with the REST API's of SMP both on-premise and in the Cloud
Reduced time to market. One of the largest SAP implementation partners in the Nordics stated that Neptune reduced development time by 80%
Free templates (Advanced templates such as fully functional PM, HCM, SD templates are available Experience | Neptune Software <- sorry for the marketing but you did ask)
UI5, all of the other third-party tools (Not SAP tools like App Builder, Eclipse etc) uses non UI5 frameworks. I personally believe that SAPUI5 (UI5) is the future of SAP UX and thus it only makes sense to keep a common and future-proof framework.
Network crunching. We optimize all networking. Which makes sense for mobility.
no extra infrastructure needed - it is a certified add-on and takes 15 mins to install.
Works with most versions of SAP. We even have alot of customers using 4.7 (we need the ICF so nothing lower). This is something the community often forgets. Yes it is cool to play with the latest Netweaver release, but do our customers have that installed?
Cons (woot!)
Cost, even if Neptune is very affordable it still requires license for productive usage (free for developers though - and hey we need to live as well ) So custom coding is cheaper in respect to license (but not in TCO in my opinion)
Generated code, even if we have added as much freedom to code custom JavaScript as possible there will always be restrictions in generated code compared to notepad. (But I haven't met an issue that couldn't be solved by custom coding in the Neptune Application Designer yet)
Other backend systems. Neptune is based on ABAP and as such it obviosly works best with an ABAP backend.
.... (Add stuff from other non Neptune ppl )
Regarding your questions:
1. Yes you can use Odata, best way is to consume it on the ABAP level, but you can of course consume it through JavaScript as well (Not recomended by me)
2. Yes see above (free templates and also premium templates by our partners)
3. No you can't modify a fiori app with Neptune, but the two solutions work perfectly together (You can add Neptune apps in the Fiori launchpad) One of our partners have created an RDS solution based on both Fiori and Neptune.
4. Neptune is an add-on to Netweaver and as such has no extra security in itself beyond that (And we seek not to do that). But we support any security you wish to add on top. I strongly advice having a look at the SAP Secure offering (App protection and MDM) as well as SMP (also the new Cloud edition which gives easy affordable protection for your backend)
So that was my very biased answer

Oracle 11g Pros and Cons

Hi Experts,
We are planning to upgrade oracle from 10.2.0.2 to 11g, could any one please let us know the pros and cons of 11g over 10g
Thanks,
Ravi

Sure:
PRO: it's the only Oracle version currenly in general support.
PRO: it provides many new features, e.g. compression for tables, indexes, backups
CONTRA: it means you have to learn new stuff and implement something you're not used to.
Generally, the support argument just makes other considerations superflous.
As a SAP customer you basically have to follow the upgrade plans.

Lars

FROYO Pros and Cons

For those who are running FROYO let's have a pros and cons thread so some of the others who are on the fence about running it will get a little more info. And PLEASE don't include any links,instructions,etc. and hopefully the VZW folks will allow it to stay as an informative thread only.
Pros:
Little more responsive
Flash 10.1
Choice of unlock screens, pin,password,or current ones.
Google Search is back (still includes Bing as well).
Cons:
Battery life not as good as 2.1 (on my device anyway).
Warranty may be voided, not official VZW yet.
Can't get it over the air, which I personally don't care for anyway. Have had a couple bad experiences with OTA in the past.
These are a few I can think of at the moment.

That's because apple only gives you one storage area so all of your apps, music, videos, etc are there. On Android, most of the memory heavy content will be on the sd card and not the internal storage. I could see the internal storage filling up if you have NFS Shift, Madden and a bunch of other games of that size but then you most likely just have your phone filled up with a bunch of crud that you never use.

Pros and Cons of L73x

I will expect nothing short of the features which the predecessor / lower end variant was delivering.
The Nokia model-numbering scheme gives a false impression. For example, a 22€ Nokia 2730 classic had a better sound equalizer than the Nokia 808 PureView. For example, a Nokia Lumia 930 did not get Glance Screen although the Nokia Lumia 630 and Nokia Lumia 1520 do.
The numbers do not indicate lower/higher but again just these target audiences. I do not like comparisons because they go wrong easily but let us go for this: The first/front number is very much like grades in school. There is 5th grade, 6th grade and so on. As you expect from a class, not all pupils are perfect. Some pupils have a deficit in that feature, some are outstanding in that ability. That continues over the years, and as consequence a 9th grade pupil is still not perfect – not in every aspect. In some areas of knowledge and expertise, a 6th grade might be better, in same areas. Think about the numbering scheme as an academic year in school, I would not go for lower/higher in proficiencies just from the number.
Predecessor/successor – same here. Nokia never aimed to create predecessors. Neither in model numbers, nor in feature set, nor in price tags. The current naming Lumia x2x versus Lumia x3x looks like that, but is more about a ‘generation’. Although normal guys like you and me love to stick to the well-known, Nokia hates to accompany us on our journey with a successor every year – like others do quite well.
Nokia; no predecessor/lower here. Successor? Improvement in feature set? Nokia: ‘Please go for the one your network operator offers at that time; we have done it right for you, already.’ Hopefully, hopefully, Steven Elop as a Master of Computer Science – a software man – finds the vim to tell those hardware guys about the expectations of end-users, one day. Until then, do not expect too much from them.
senba wrote:
Can [Glance Screen] be introduced in a later stage through some OS updates[?]
I do not expect this to happen because the software is written, therefore my guess: hardware is missing. This is not like sound equalizer, Miracast, or FM radio – cases which Windows Phone had no software support when the hardware was finished. Anyway, just a guess. But again I would not expect Glance Screen for the Nokia Lumia 735.

Pros and Cons of upgrading GT60 RAID0 to SSD and HDD

I purchased a GT60-0NCR-002US from Amazon last fall and am thinking of upgrading the HD set up.
Currently it has 2 500gb drives arranged in a RAID0.
I'm considering upgrading this to a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD and am curious to get some feedback about the pros and cons of doing this.
I'm assuming this setup would be considerably faster than the current one since I'd have the OS and all program files on the SSD. I'm not sure whether the 7200rpm 32gb cache HDD would be faster or slower than the current RAID0 but since this would only contain my documents and media, I don't think it's of that much concern.
Another question I have is how I'd go about getting Windows back on the system after replacing the hard drives. Could I reinstall an image of the current OS or would the fact that I'm changing the hard drive set up make that impossible?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Quote from: joshsayers on 23-May-13, 09:18:47
I just noticed on the original Amazon page where I bought the computer that the rpm of each 500GB disk is 7200. Considering they are in a RAID0 format, wouldn't I then be sacrificing speed going to one 1TB 7200rpm drive?
Maybe the decrease in speed for the data/media HDD would be more than compensated by having the OS and all software run off an SSD drive, though...
Regarding the re-installation of Windows: yes, I have the backup disk here. So it would just be a matter of re-installing on the SSD drive before the regular HD was installed? I called MSI help and asked them about this and the guy told me that because I would be going from RAID0 to two separate HDDs that this would affect the BIOS and thus the original Windows backup disk would be obsolete. Any truth to this?
The SSD + HDD will be much better overall. For media, does it really MATTER how fast it is? In all honesty, not really. The SSD makes everything else snappy, so what if you have to wait an extra 10 seconds when you copy a movie over and stuff? I wouldn't care, overall the laptop will FEEL much faster, and it generally will be.
There is SOME truth to what he said. You will have to change the bios to go from a RAID to AHCI or IDE (AHCI is preferred, but it may not work....I'm not sure). THAT much is true. The restore disk should work as usual though. It doesn't care WHERE it gets installed at, just that it gets installed. Atleast, it didn't matter for me.

Pros and cons Demand Planning in APO or ECC

Hello,
is there a paper/pdf out there describing the pros and cons of DP in APO and ECC. We are planning to implement demand planning and are in an evaluation face whether to go with an APO solution or not. The financial aspect is not an issue. We already have the licensing in place for APO and ECC.
Which solution provides better flexibility and usability? Have any of you guys got experience with implementing demand planning in a non-manufacturing orgnisation. That is we are looking for a tool to forecast/plan external and internal procurement.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi ,
Definitely APO DP have many advantage over ECC.
=> More Flexibility than ECC demand management
=> Complex statistical tool can be used for forecasting
=> Complex macros can be build as per the business need
=> Easy visilbility & maintenance of the data
=> Advance Demand planning functionalities like Promotional planning, LCM, Management decisions, etc can be incorporated easily.
Also refer the details provided in the below thread for more details:

Pros and cons of quicktime movie or YouTube on your website?

Hello All,
I want to add a short movie to my website and I have watched the tutorials on adding a quicktime movie and a YouTube movie to your website.
However, they didn't say what the pros and cons were. Is it better to add a quicktime movie to your site or a link to YouTube.
How easy or hard is it to add a link to Vimeo?
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
Mike

Hi Michael,
The pros of hosting the movie yourself on your .me website is that you have control over the content in your movie; if you put copyrighted music in your video and upload it to youtube and they recognize it (and they usually do) no one will be able to view the video on youtube without being logged in to youtube as you.
The cons are that if you upload movies to iweb, you'll be using some bandwidth every time someone watches it, and there is a limit to what is include with the mobile me subscription.
Adding a youtube video embedded in your site is easy. Just use the HTML snippet (or did they update one just for you tube?) and copy the "embed" information from the file on you tube, and paste it in the html window. easy as pie.
I don't know anything about "Vimeo" but any links are easy if you're leaving your site and sending a clicker to the page with what you want to show. Embedding is easy if they give you embed tools at the site you want to borrow from (like youtube does).
