please answer my simple question, thanks guys!

Exactly because it's a simple question is why you should do a little more effort to answer this one yourself . Google or the forum search will get you a long way - use it please.
Welcome to the forums btw - be sure to read the forum rules . I'm closing this one.

And about the "Oracle is going to take over the Mac version", I'm not so sure.
Is that mean Oracle will make the Java update? Then we should download a Java update package file to update or keep using the "software update" way or both? Are they gonna release the older version Java package? Are they gonna take all of the responsibilitys for the Cross-platform bugs?
Some answers of those questions are obvious. But there is no proof!
I don't know about proof. It is out there somewhere if you are really into Java, which I'm not.
It is "common knowledge" that Apple is running all Java 1.6 updates while Oracle is taking over all Java 1.7 henceforth. Back in the day, Apple needed Java, but Sun didn't need Apple. Ergo, it was Apple's responsibility to provide Java. Today, the tables are turned. Sun is dead. Apple neither needs, nor wants Java. Oracle needs Java support on the Mac so Oracle is going to pay for it. Funny what a $600 billion market cap will get you

What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

hello all
what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
2) Variable Window
3) Main Window in SAP SCRIPT

Hi,
Window Types
When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
You can choose between three types:
Constant Windows (CONST)
Variable Windows (VAR)
Main Windows (MAIN)
Constant Windows (CONST)
Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR.
Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.
Variable Windows (VAR)
The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears.
The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated;
the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike.
The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form.
For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
It controls the page break.
It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to
output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form.
The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

What is the difference between Wine, Wineskin, Winery and Wine Bottler, and how do I get Wine to *ACTUALLY* work in Mountain Lion?

Ok, so this is my first post here and I am admittedly terrible at forums. Someone might say, "This was addressed in the ___________ thread by __________! Go read it!" --- that may be so but I've spent enough hours trying to google this problem into submission to no avail based on what is apparently working for others, so I would like a chance to get specific answers to specific questions that aren't from Mar 2011, etc.
So first of all, I'm confused by all the various Wine programs/apps/whatevers. I've seen Wine, Wineskin, Winery, Wine Bottler, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more than that. What's the difference between all of these and how do they work with one another? What do I actually need to get windows programs working?
All of my google searches have led me to people giving out fish, but no one giving out fishing lessons. I'm not a pro at mac and windows and all that, but I'm a fairly bright individual who gets VERY frustrated, very quickly, when I don't understand the why and how of something I'm attempting.
I've also found "answers" where the person attempting to help starts off helpful enough, but degrades into the most archaic of techno-babble after about 5-6 sentences. On the other hand, I've watched tutorials on youtube where the poster decides to skip (apparently crucial) sections of the tutorial, and mutters such gems as: "... you might wanna have to run Wine first before you can do anything, cuz I think it has to configure it and set up a bunch of stuff"
O.o
A happy medium between techno-babble and the most basic of explanations would be ideal for me, and I'd imagine for others as well.
Here is a summarized history of my relationship with Wine:
Diablo II - I downloaded this awesome thing which ended up being... uh... I guess Diablo II in a Wineskin "wrapper". I'm not sure, all I know is that it's a D2 icon, and if I go to 'show package contents', it's got C drive, Program Files, et cetera inside of it. I double click it, it launches D2, and it works like a dream. <3
'Vanilla Install' - That's what I heard someone call it. It was the command/terminal style install using xquartz and xcode found at http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/. I followed every instruction to the letter, and got all the way to '$ sudo port install wine', at which point it started going smoothly, free from the possible error he described regarding the installation of xcode, and then just failed after I left the room to use the restroom and came back. Please don't ask me to repeat what the error was, because honestly, after reading more things on the interwebs, I'm confused as to why it's even necessary to go through all of that, so I'd rather not try that route again anyways, rendering the error message quite possibly irrelevant.
Wine + Wine Bottler - So I decided to try to seek out an easier method, as I know that one must exist that doesn't involve command lines. I found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BBkISOcEA, and oh man would it be great if that method had actually worked. Again, I followed all instructions provided to procure my free fish, and at the point in the video where he declares that "xquarts or x11 will open" - it doesn't open. Nothing opens. I was trying to install Star Sonata, btw.
So here I am, thoroughly worn out, frustrated at all the random places Wine is installed on my mac now, and just want someone to explain it all, from top down, without getting toooooooo technical on me. I know that might be asking a lot...

## I know that the poster has already found a solution, but the following is a possible answer for others that have similar issues.
For Winebottler, just go to their website and download it. Run the program. Choose .wine as your prefix (best choice) or whatever suits you best. You'll need a functional X11. If you can't use the one that comes with your mac, download the latest one from the website.
If your issue is one with Winebottler's Wine not running correctly due to X11, then you have a pretty ugly problem, although a simple upgrade is the best solution (Upgrade XQuartz.app).
http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1
The above website is the easiest way to get REAL wine on your computer. First of all, Wineskin WInery, etc. are NOT WINE. They are 3rd party apps that may use Wine or may have originally part of Wine, but they are no longer up to date with Wine. WineBottler is currently up to date with the stable releases of Wine (but not the maintenence releases).
For the website tutorial and to run Wine on your mac without using a thrid party app, you will need to know a few things.
First, you will need to know basic control of the command line. That means, sudo (you must know the administrator password to your computer), and the forms of cd (change directory).
Second, you will need Xcode. Download 4.2 (stable) or whatever other versions you want, but beware: It is over 1 GB, and you will need time for it to work.
Third, you will need to get MacPorts and configure it. The tutorial should have this data.
When you download wine (use sudo port install wine-devel for the latest development release of wine), it will first download a lot of dependencies. This will take a while. After that, it will download wine itself.
After obtaining wine, to run a program, open the terminal.app window.
cd desktop/XYZ/ZYZ\ WRQ
The above will first enter the desktop, then folder XYZ, then folder ZYZ WRQ. From here,
wine th11e.exe
Or whatever executable you are trying to open. (Using Subterranean Animism as my example).
It should, in theory, run the program. Watch the terminal for errors. If there is an X11 problem, then it's not wine acting up. If the app crashes or has other issues, check the Wine Application Database to see if your app is compatible with wine.
If you have any further questions or other things, feel free to reply; I may or may not get back to you, but there's a good chance that someone will come in eventually. Otherwise, the Wine Wiki should have some information.

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
Thank you.
Last edited by thesimpsons (2009-04-02 01:50:28)

Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
Just try them, and choose the one you like

What's the difference between the two IE11 installers listed below?

Hello,
What is the difference between these two IE-11 downloads (image below)? One is 28MB and one is 54MB. I am having a lot of post-installation issues with the 54MB installer (i.e. opens blank pages, can't access a simple page like google, Windows search stops
indexing). When I install the 28MB download, (so far) I don't have any issues. Since the 28MB installation works, it sounds like my desision is easy but I would still like to know the difference between the two. BTW, the quick install is only 2MB, so I know
I don't have the quick install.
Any help would be appriciated, thank you in advance.

What is the difference between jsp :include and server side include

what is the difference between jsp :include and server side include(request dispatcher include method)????
i understand that both request dispatcher include method and jsp:include take dynamic data,so when would one use request dispatcher include and when jsp:include.
Is the usage interchangeable?i believe jsp include is used only for jsp/html but include directive can be used to include servlets ,jsp and html....correct me if i m wrong and
do suggest if u hav ny other diff in this context...

The difference really is: in what format do you want your inclusions? If your environment has many Java developers and only a few designers that focus mainly on, say, Flash, that might push you more towards the server-side include() directive. Or, if you have a large set of pages that receive dynamic content that is displayed in a consistent fashion (such as a workflow header area on a page).
If, on the other hand, you have more web designers, there may be a greater desire to deal in markup rather than Java code. Java developers themselves might prefer to view markup (JSP) that more resembles the eventual output than something occuring in Java code.
Finally, there are considerations of tiering. While it is totally possible to (and I have previously) implement 'view classes' that render markup or generate layout templates, JSP's offer, IMO, a subtle, psychological advantage. By forcing a developer to work in a different format, markup versus Java source, the separation on view from controller and model becomes a bit easier. It is still possible to make mistakes, but if a developer at some point notices, "Wait, I'm in a JSP, should I be importing a java.sql class?", then the choice to use JSP includes has paid off in spades.

What is the difference between variable and Define

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
these different declarations when it is done using the keyword "variable" and "define"
and both of these are done OUTSIDE "DECLARE"
VARIABLE g_monthly_sal NUMBER
DEFINE p_annual_sal =5000
-- I understand that p_annual_sal will be taken as a CHAR.
-- ALSO IF DEFINE variable acts as macro variable, SO is it necessary to give it some value whenever we define it.
if not what value would be substituted for it?
OR does that mean whenever we want to specify data type for a bind varible we should use VARIABLE and
when we do not want to specify type we use DEFINE?
THANK YOU

Edited by: user6287828 on Feb 24, 2009 11:04 AM

Both are SQL*plus commands. In a real programming environment you will not use such constructs (except a few rare scripting cases).
The difference is how the construct is later used. DEFINE is more like a copy&paste string. Whereever the name of this substitution variable is found it will be pasted into the sql*plus session.
VARIABLE creates a real variable. You can change the value and if follwos the usual principles of variables (including binding).
Example can be found the docs:
from the docs
Where and How to Use Substitution Variables
You can use substitution variables anywhere in SQL and SQL*Plus commands, except as the first word entered. When SQL*Plus encounters an undefined substitution variable in a command, SQL*Plus prompts you for the value.
You can enter any string at the prompt, even one containing blanks and punctuation. If the SQL command containing the reference should have quote marks around the variable and you do not include them there, the user must include the quotes when prompted.
SQL*Plus reads your response from the keyboard, even if you have redirected terminal input or output to a file. If a terminal is not available (if, for example, you run the script in batch mode), SQL*Plus uses the redirected file.
After you enter a value at the prompt, SQL*Plus lists the line containing the substitution variable twice: once before substituting the value you enter and once after substitution. You can suppress this listing by setting the SET command variable VERIFY to OFF.
Using Bind Variables
Bind variables are variables you create in SQL*Plus and then reference in PL/SQL or SQL. If you create a bind variable in SQL*Plus, you can use the variable as you would a declared variable in your PL/SQL subprogram and then access the variable from SQL*Plus. You can use bind variables for such things as storing return codes or debugging your PL/SQL subprograms.
Because bind variables are recognized by SQL*Plus, you can display their values in SQL*Plus or reference them in PL/SQL subprograms that you run in SQL*Plus.
Creating Bind Variables
You create bind variables in SQL*Plus with the VARIABLE command. For example
VARIABLE ret_val NUMBER
This command creates a bind variable named ret_val with a datatype of NUMBER. See the VARIABLE command for more information. (To list all bind variables created in a session, type VARIABLE without any arguments.)
Referencing Bind Variables
You reference bind variables in PL/SQL by typing a colon (:) followed immediately by the name of the variable. For example
:ret_val := 1;
To change this bind variable in SQL*Plus, you must enter a PL/SQL block. For example:
BEGIN
:ret_val:=4;
END;

What's the difference between RSS and Atom feeds?

I just figured out the RSS thing, which is great. However, when I go to sign up for a RSS feed, I am often given a choice between RSS, Atom, sometimes different versions of RSS. What's the difference between all these? (I tried searching, but was unsuccessful.) How do I make a choice?
Another question, can someone see that I have signed up for RSS feed from their site?

Hi again,
but how do people decide which one to use for subscribing?
People can choose whichever one they want - Safari supports both RSS and Atom, other applications on OS X (and Microsoft Windows, Linux, etc) may only work with RSS or Atom so by publishing in multiple formats they can be fairly sure that everyone can read the content.
And how can you see who has subscribed to an RSS feed from your site?
They will be able to see the IP address of the requester in just the same way as they can when you load a webpage - there's no difference in how the RSS/Atom data is requested sent over the internet compared to HTML webpages.
