What is a "remote disk" and why is it in my finder?

I have a new MBP which I populated using migration assistant. Now I have a mysterious icon for a "remote disk" in my list of hard drives. I can't eject it, and it does not show any info with a command-I. Anybody know what it is, if it is evil, and how to get rid of it?

It means that another computer on your network has DVD or CD Sharing enabled in the Sharing pane of System Preferences, and is used to access shared optical disks.

Repairing permissions will help as will running the UNIX commands. This widget will do all but the pram.
http://db.tt/Lob4XtPB Maintenance Widget One of those links will get you the widget.
To reset the pram hold the Command+Option+P+R when starting up, wait through 4 startup sounds before letting go.

What is better to use and why?

Hi,
What is better to use and why?
We have written follwing statements to check the existence of interested record in table.
1).
select count(*) from emp where deptno = 20;
2).
select 'X'
from dual
where exists (
select 'X' from emp
where deptno = 20);
Thanks and Regards,
Rushang Kansara

Assuming a large table, number two would be the fastest. If empno in unique, you can leave out the where exists part and just select x from emp where empno = 20. If empno is not unique, then using where exists can be faster. Assuming that empno is not unique, query 1 may elect to scan the whole table looking for that empno. Number 2 can use the index and return your result in, typically, three LIOs.
Again, it all depends on your indexing, size of tables, and uniqueness of key upon which you are searching.

What is your favorite transaction and why?

Just wondering what your secret tools are... Willing to share? Transactions you use all the time, and without them you would be, uh, toast...
My favorite one is SE84 Repository Information System. I use it regularly to find objects in repository, like database tables, views, table fields, function groups, function modules, programs, logical databases, message classes, message number, SET/GET parameters, transactions, variants, screens, business add-ins, customer exits, change requests and authorizations.
A useful hint: You can also search by application hierarcy. For example, in 4.6c to find customer exits within MM, do as follows:
1. Start SE81
2. Select subtree MM with F9
3. Click Information system. SE84 is displayed.
4. Click Envir. and then Exit techniques and then Customer exits. Click enhancements. A search screen is displayed and development class field is pre-filled.
5. Press F8

clearly SE80.
Starting 4.7 you have a button on top of the tree navigation where you can click the information system.
So you have (at least) three transactions in one: SE80, se84(85 and SE38.
I wonder why still some people prefer SE38. It's just SE80 minus functionality and overview plus wasted screen space.
Is there any existing function you can execute from SE38 that is not available in SE38? A lot the other way round.

Clemens

Whats the maximum length array and why?

Whats the maximum length array and why?
I tryed to search the forum but most people was wondering about the maximun length of a String..

for(int i =20;i<=32;i++) {
     try {
          int[] p = new int[(int)Math.pow(2,i)];
          pause(2000); // So that gc doesn't clean away the array before
                          // The OS memory manager gets to update.
          System.out.println("Paused! i: " + i);
     } catch(OutOfMemoryError e) {
          System.out.println("Ex!!");
          pause(10000); // Same sa before.
void pause(int p) {
     try {
          Thread.sleep(p);
     } catch (Exception e) {}
}I worte this little code to test this.
It runs to 2^23 for me.

BRtools Two-Phase-Backup to remote disk and remote tape drive

Hello,
i want to two-phase-backup a SAP-System to a remote disk and from there to a tape drive.
Backup to remote disk works fine, but can i use brtools to write the backup-files from the remote machine to a tape drive that is connected to the remote machine?
I'm using SLES 10 on both machines.
I can't find anything on the SAP Documentation to this. It ist possible to backup to remote disk and to remote tape, but it is not clear that it works when in Phase 1 of the backup the files are written to a remote disk. It seems like i can only tell brtools to backup the files from a local disc to a remote tape-drive, is this right?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Phil

Hi Nirmal,
thanks for your answer.
But i can do disk to tape Backups, when i choose "Backup of Disk Backup" from BRtools, i see a list of all Backups i wrote to the local disk and can write them to remote tape by using pipe as backup device.
The only thing is, my Backups are stored on a remote disk, and from there it seems i have to write them to tape with cronjobs using a shell script. That's not my favourite solution, but it's ok.
Regards
Phil

Informal Poll - What is your fav distro and why.

I am curious as to what version of Linux is prefered and why. I have been using OpenSUSE for my desktops and Ubuntu for servers for the last few years and would be interested to see what others favor and why...
I have six computers all running Linux:
Workshop Bench (forensic tools, disk drive tools and software recovery tools) - OpenSUSE (KDE) 13.2 tumbleweed. Intel Core2Quad 8800
Home Server (Cloud service, Print Server, Backup Server, Media Server) - OpenSUSE (KDE) 13.2 tumbleweed. Intel i3 2350
Web Server (Public Webserver, Cloud and Scheduling) - Ubnutu (hardened) 14.01 LTS AMD A6
Three loaner computers, all AMD A6 based machines - Linux Mint 17.1
So far the least troublesome have been Ubuntu / Mint computers. OpenSUSE seems to be the best KDE platform but I may need to switch to the stable release tree when the next iteration is released. Linux Mint is the most user freindly of the Debian crowd, with good feedback on all counts. The Ubuntu desktop was not well recieved, most thought it was just too "ugly" to be useable.
I am dual booting my G580 between Windows 8.1 (factory OS) and Mint at the moment. As a point of interest - my gaming computer and my better half's computer both run Windows 7 at the moment. Will not be moving to Windows 10, mostlikely to Mint.

That has an interesting look / feel to it. I am just looking into running Mint on an older notebook to see if it would be a good alternative OS for my clients that do not want to migrate to Windows 8/8.1/10 and the metro desktop.

What is the "ImporterArib.bundle and why can't my system execute it?

Most of us Mac Users that watch the Console have seen the following error:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 [ ] Cannot find executable for CFBundle 0x1138e7da0 </Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS6/Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.app/Contents/Plug-Ins/Common/ImporterArib.bundle> (not loaded)
... as it appears several times when launching PP.
What is it and why is it still a error even past the last few updates?
The file size is 200 bytes .. when other similar bundles are many KB.
Upon package inspection ... it is missing a info.plist, Code_Resources, and a Mac_OS file.
What is going on Adobe?

Expert PDF 7 Reader is legal application by Avanquest. Often it comes bundled with search hijackers, coupon adware and badware. Thus it was included in SecurityStronghold's database. Expert PDF 7 Reader itself is non-harmful.
Expert PDF 7 Reader intrusion method
Expert PDF 7 Reader copies its file(s) to your hard disk. Its typical file name is PDFReader.exe. Then it creates new startup key with name Expert PDF 7 Reader and value PDFReader.exe. You can also find it in your processes list with name PDFReader.exe or Expert PDF 7 Reader
It's NOT an Adobe™ product.

What is a PRAM reset and why did I have to do it ?

My very new (4 days) 20" Aluminium iMac was getting quite noisy, so much so that I called for support today.
The Apple tech explained how to do a 'P.RAM' reset, which in fairness does seem to have resolved the issue. (something to do with a FAN, I think).
I would like to know more about the causes of this, and why would I have to do it a such a new machine ?
Is there something wrong with my machine ? What are the chances I wil have to do this again ?
Thanks....

All, thank you for your time and valuable information. I am relieved that nothing is wrong with my system, but I must say that I find it is a little odd that a user has to do take these steps after making hardware or software changes to the system. I would expect this to be done as part of the install routines. Perhaps that is why other (you know who) systems need rebooting after most hardware or software changes.
I know Apple like to be seen as the machines where such things are not required, but clearly they are !
Thanks again.

TS1368 what is an error 502 and why am i getting it

what is an error 502

I can't. It comes up with another error every time I try. Also, all of my other Adobe Products work fine, so I'm curious about how this is just becoming an issue now. From what I can tell, it is installed on my computer -- it's just hidden and/or blocked from working. It is harder than hell to find.

If it really isn't there, then quite a lot of applications may fail. You best download and install it.

What is the "protected_media" folder and why can't I access it?

I was going through File Manager and saw a folder called "protected_media". Trying to open it gives me a "Folder Unavailable: You don't have permission to access this folder" message. Why do I have this folder and why can't I access it?
Also, what is the "misc" folder? Why does it have a folder inside it called "android"? Why can I go Device/misc/android/DCIM/Camera and find copies of everything that is in the Device/camera folder? Can I delete "misc" without messing anything-up?

the misc folder is for android apps and are virtual links to the files.
Do not delete the files in there or they will be gone from both places.
