Since it's a 4 year old machine, in it's end of life stage and 10.7+ will slow it down in performance, I'd say stay on 10.6.8 and be happy.
10.6 still has a rather large amount of the OS X version market share and Apple isn't doing what they did under Jobs was to ignore a OS X version still in significant market share.
Apple HQ and about 750,000 Mac's got compromised by the Flashback botnet, so Apple went all the way back to 10.5 Intel to fix the problems they neglected so now they are paying better attention to the older OS X versions.
There will ALWAYS be a newer OS X version with more bells, whistles and eye candy to drive a hardware purchase, however unless your machine was purchased within a couple years of a new OS X release, it's likley best to just kick back and enjoy what you have and make it last.
There are people out there still running 10.5 on PowerPC machines even.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
You can try to keep up with Apples asinine annual OS X release cycle, but it's only going to cost a lot more money in software, headaches and even bricked hardware, which occured to a LOT of people when 10.7 was released.
If a OS X upgrade bricks your machine and your not in AppleCare, your screwed.

If your machine can't go to 10.8, then it can't do 10.9, so you'll be behind again here shortly when it's released this fall.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of suppressed and unsuppressed content in indesign layer option?

what are the advantages and disadvantages of suppressed and unsuppressed content in indesign layer option?

I occasionally use layers set to suppress output for holding text that differs from the text in the visible part of a document that I need for variables or TOC entries sometimes, or for notes or guides I want in the file but I don't want printed. You might also want to suppress a layer with some sort of overlay, like the die-lines for a die-cut piece, when you export a PDF for screen viewing.
I'm sure you can come up with other reasons for having content on a page in the layout, but not in the final output.

What are the advantages and disadvantages for the larger blocksize and for

What are the advantages and disadvantages for the larger blocksize and for the smaller blocksize?

Smaller blocksize
Advantages
GoodHas relatively large space overhead due to metadata
(that is, block header).
Not recommended for large rows. There might only
be a few rows stored for each block, or worse, row
chaining if a single row does not fit into a block, for small rows with lots of random
access.
Reduces block contention.
Disadvantages
Has relatively large space overhead due to metadata
(that is, block header).
Not recommended for large rows. There might only
be a few rows stored for each block, or worse, row
chaining if a single row does not fit into a block.
Larger blocksize
Advantages
Has lower overhead, so there is more
room to store data.
Permits reading a number of rows into
the buffer cache with a single I/O
(depending on row size and block size).
Good for sequential access or very large
rows (such as LOB data).
Disadvantages
Wastes space in the buffer cache, if you are doing
random access to small rows and have a large block
size. For example, with an 8 KB block size and 50
byte row size, you waste 7,950 bytes in the buffer
cache when doing random access.
Not good for index blocks used in an OLTP
environment, because they increase block contention
on the index leaf blocks.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to cookies?

Ok, so I am required to interview some expert for a Final in college. I choose to do my final on cookies throughout the different browsers. The downside is that it is nearly impossible to get a one-on-one interview from an expert in this field. This is my next option. So here are my questions, and I greatly appreciate the help.
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of cookies?
2. Where are the cookies stored, and is it possible for someone to access that information?
3. You hear horror stories of hackers accessing the different cookies saved on a person's computer, and from there gradually piecing together enough information about that person, to hack into nearly every account they have. How probable is this? What safeguards can a person take against this happening?
Once again, thank you for any help received.

Are you referring to compressed files in your statement?
If yes, then let me give you a general idea about it -
Compressed file occupy less memory space as compared to its uncompressed counterpart, and hence can be uploaded/downloaded faster than the uncompressed one.
Moreover Compressed files are less vulnerable to Malwares and Trojans, provided it is Locked and encrypted as well, Uncompressed files are more vulnerable to Malwares and viruses in general.
I would love to help you with your query however i need to know that in which context you are asking this question so that i can point you in the right direction. Moreover please let me know if you are facing any type of Technical issue in any Adobe Product or Online service.

What are the advantage and disadvantage of LavView (comprared with C++)?

Comparing with C++, what's the advantage and disadvantage of LavView? Because now I decide to write a new tool, we can't make sure which language we will use. The old tool was written in LabView environment.

Visual Basic works pretty well if you would like to have a nice user
interface and quick development.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Joint operation

Hi, I am currently trying what out the advantages and disadvantages of the Joint Operation ... any help would be appreciated

The advantage of join operations are that joins allow
retrieval or data from more than one table at a
time.
A disadvantage of join operations is that the SQL
statement may be more complicated to write and read
than multiple simple selects.
Another advantage is that fetching data from multiple
tables in a single SQL statement is that using a join
is likely to be more efficient than using several
simple SQL statements with procedural logic
performing the work of the join.
There are basic three types of join operations in
Oracle: nested loop, hash join, and sort/merge.
You can find descriptions of these operations in the
Oracle Performance and Tuning manual.

What are the advantage and disadvantages of upgrad...

please do tell me the advantage and disadvantages of updating the software of my 5530. Thank you

This is written generally as the specifics of the new 5530 update are unknown, although it is believed to be just a minor bug fix update.
Advantages:
Bug fixes
Speed increases
Stability increases
The possibility of new features.
Disadvantages:
New bugs may be introduced.
Something may go wrong during the update that could leave the phone unusable.
Disappearing languages if the phone has previously been modified by the retailer (for example they imported the phone from another country and modified it to include other languages).
If you are happy with your phone then it's probably best not to update it if you are worried about potential problems.

I currently have a Macbook pro 10.6.8 and i'm interested software upgrade What are the advantages and disadvantages for upgrading my software.

Ok... the only reason why i want to uprade my software is because of StarCraft 2. For those that don't know, Heart of the Swarm is coming out this March. I've been eagerly waiting for this expansion. I just read that SC2 HOTS will not be able to support any software below lion. I currently have 10.6.8 and i was wondering what are the disadvantages and advantages (aside from being able to play this expansion) of upgrading my software? Are there any draw backs, etc.

Go all the way to Mountain Lion if you can...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
But...
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, get more RAM...
You can use this Link to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
For best performance, fill all memory slots, installing an equal memory module in each slot.
That site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

What is the Advantage and Disadvantage of Pre-Compiled JSP

Hi All,
What is the advantage and disadvantage of using pre-compiled JSP

Pro:
By pre-compiling your JSPs you don't need a java compiler on the server - just a jre.
The result? No java compiler on the server means a potential security hole patched - people can't just write and deploy jsp's willy nilly on the server.
You KNOW that all your JSPs compile before you visit them - because you have compiled them all :-). It won't fail because of a stupid spelling miskate that prevents compilation. That doesn't mean they will run without error of course...
Con:
Compiling the JSPs ties them to a particular server - unless you take the runtime along with them.

What are the advanteges and disadvanteges of using pl/sql over hibernate

i knwo that pl/sql are well structure and provide a lot of functionalities with oracle databse , but my question is the hibernate might give some advnateges of scalability over pl/sql.
so what are the advanteges and disadvanteges of using pl/sql over hibernate?
and does oracle recommend using hibernate for connecting JSP with oracle 11i , or it is better to connect the JSP pages with oracle databse using pl/sql ?

812643 wrote:
but if i search for the diferencess then there are a lot of opinions about this ..., specially when they say that with hibernate you can integrate with any DB , and it provides object printed architecture, etc.All databases are not equal. This is a basic and fundamental fact. SQL-Server is not Oracle. Oracle is not SQL-Server. As it is the case with Sybase, Ingres, DB2 and other database products. They are all different. And there are some very core differences between them.
So how would a product like Hibernate treat these database products with their differences? By using the lowest common denominator. Which means your expensive database product is dumbed down - and even MS Access will likely have better and more features.
You also need to decide what is the "permanent" part in your architecture. What is going to the core? What is the expensive part? The app server (with Hibernate)? Or the database server?
What are you likely to change next year? The app server server? Or the database server?
In the vast majority of cases, the core is the database server. That is your biggest expense and investment. As it should be - as it holds that which is most precious to business, data. You want to ensure the integrity of that data. The accuracy of that data. Make sure that it can be easily backed up and recovered. Is flexible to use. Etc. Etc.
The database server is the core - and that is where you need to realise your return on investment. By using the database server to its full extent.
Hibernate does not do that. And in that respect, it is junk.
Why does it not do that? Because many Java developers are totally and fully clueless about what database servers are and how to use them. And want to use them as little plug-in black boxes - bit buckets that are only there to provide a data persistence layer. Instead of using the database server to its full extent, they instead use Hibernate, and try to do their own "+database thing+" in the app layer - and do it poorly and with utter lack of any scalability. (and no, only ignorant Java heads think that scalability means throwing more money and h/w at it)
My largest database processes billions of rows per day, every day, 356 days a year (between 350 to 450 million new inserts into a single table per day). And have been for several years now. It does so using PL/SQL. Using Oracle to its full extent. Then there are Java heads that cannot even design and code an app that effectively process 1% of this volume... and grasp at straws like Hibernate and other Java cr@p to "fix" this - when the actual problem is their total lack of ignorance in how to use and scale the database server.
Hibernate is trash - and a symptom of Java developers's ignorance of database technology.
