What are benefits and drawbacks of deleting cookies?

I see articles about how to delete cookies and problems that seem to relate to having cookies or having deleted cookies but nothing (that I could find) about the benefits and drawbacks of cookies. Seems before deleting or preventing, it would be useful to know more about the subject.

Cookies have many uses, for a summary of what cookies are used for see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie HTTP cookie - Wikipedia]
It is very much a personal preference as to whether you want to delete cookies or not, the wikipedia article should help you decide. As a matter of routine I do not delete cookies, though I do block most tracking cookies.

0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

What are these and what are they useful for?: and

I have seen these symbols being used in Java: << and >>, what are they and what do they do?
Thank you.

As DrQuincy asks how is this of use over multiplying
and dividing?In your processor there are often different instructions for shifting, multiplying, and deleteing. Typically the shifting instructions take less time to execute and so using the shifting operator will be faster than multiplying. This assumes the compiler doesn't recognize the situation and optimize it out though.
The >>,<<,>>>, &,|,and ^ operators are mainly useful when you need to deal with individual bits of data. For instance if you are talking to another system (thats not java) that uses a different method of storing numbers (little endian/big endian etc.), or doing something such as creating parity data for error correction. There are lots of things to do, but most a low level and its rare when you need to use them.

What are benefits of a T500 over a 15.4" T61?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I can not find out what are benefits of a T500 laptop over a T61 one, is there any feature that T61 has and T500 does not?
or is there any feature that T61 has and T500 does not?
As I will use them with a 9cell battery, which one is more energy efficient and has smaller weight.
thanks

wjli2, out going models will always represent a bigger bang for buck than new models. Anyway you are not comparing apples with apples. The T61p does not compare to the T500. The W500 is the replacement for the T61p
Right now you can get up to 40% off a T61, if the offer is still open

When stocks run out you will soon see some deals on the T400/T500, then you will see some bargains!

If a user account is deleted and the data for that account is not deleted, it is placed there. Yes, you can delete the files there.

What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

Hi All,
can anybody please answer this question
What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
Thanks,
Srini

ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

What are high and low values in sharepoint 2013 user permissions?

So I hit this api:
http://win-a3q7ml82p8f/sharepoint_site/_api/web/roledefinitions/
And got the different high and low values. But I am not clear with what they mean:
For eg:
High: 176, Low: 138612833
and
High: 176, Low: 138612801
So for different values of Low how does it change the permissions?
For 176 its binary is 10110000. So looking at this table here: http://www.dctmcontent.com/sharepoint/Articles/Permissions%20and%20Mask%20Values.aspx
I can understand that 176 would mean the following set of permissions:
DeleteVersions
OpenItems
ApproveItems
But what's confusing me is, that user has OpenItems permissions but not ViewListItems permission? Am I wrong in understanding this?
Also how does the value of Low change the overall user permissions?
Note: I looked at this answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9d6df168-e8f5-4323-8c34-0646c03eff68/rest-api-what-are-high-and-low-in-effectivebasepermissions-and-getusereffectivepermissions?forum=sharepointdevelopment
But honestly I cant understand what that means. Can someone help please?

Satellite A100-153: What are verical and horizontal refresh rates for my display

How can I found out what are verical and horizontal refresh rates for my display?

Hi
Do you mean the vertical and horizontal display resolution???
Anyway all informations should be listed in the user manual.
I dont know exactly what appendix is it but it must be placed somewhere at the end of the user manual.
Such infos are listed also in my user manual which was delivered and preinstalled on my Satellite notebook.

What are valid and invalid email address characters

What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

Hi
The format of email addresses is
local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
domain name may have a
maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.[1]
The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
the informational RFC 3696[2]
and the associated errata.
Local part
The local-part of the email address may use any of these
ASCII characters
RFC 5322 Section
3.2.3:
Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
Digits
0 to
9 (ASCII: 48-57)
Characters
!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
Character
. (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
o
Space and
"(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
space, backslash \ and
quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
\ (e.g.
A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
(e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
"abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
RFC 5321 also
warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
(space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
Windows Live Hotmail,
for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
and hyphen (-).[3]
Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
!#$%*/?^`{|}~
Domain part
The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
hostname,
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
IP address
literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
in email spam.
Examples
Valid email addresses
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
<tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
<tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
Invalid email addresses
<tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
<tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
up the local-part)
<tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
<tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

HI,
What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
Thanks
Ken

Logical standby database
The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
Physical standby database
A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
physical database.
A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

What are Conversions and Extensions

Hey ,
I want to know what are Conversions and Extensions. Can i get any material where i can get information on these.
Thanks in advance

The conversion programs were used to take the extract data from the legacy system and re-format for SAP and load the data into SAP.
Conversions are one-time programs used to transfer data from the legacy system into SAP. For example, you can transfer master data like vendors, customers etc.
SAP provides enhancement to BAPIs thru EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT .these are structure parameters.suppose example: one BAPI released to update the mara table.then u modified the table mara thru append structure.this changes will not be reflected in BAPIs.So thats why in that case we have to use EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT structures to fill and work.
