Where are the ThinkStations, and where is Linux?
Hello,
I am contemplating a Lenovo TS as IBM no longer sell the Z-pro. The Z-pro appears smaller than the TS. In fact the TS appears the same size, roughly, of the X-Series. I want smaller, not larger. Honestly, if Sun could produce small sized workstations with tremendous power, so too can IBM/Lenovo.
Anyway, the Lenovo website simply state that the workstation will be available for purchase in January 2008. However, there is no infomation on the website about models and pricing.
Further, I see nothing about support for Linux.
I remain unconvinced. I wish IBM had not abandoned the Workstation community.
Respectfully yours,
Mark
They're here. They support Linux. They support RAID. They don't support linux *and* RAID. What, you wanted
a reliable and fast Linux platform of the sort Lenovo claimed? So sorry.
The marketing people need to be taken out to the woodshed. They don't need to be brought back in.
Is Lenovo at this time still offering to preinstall Linux on these systems? Interesting, I see they are, in spite
of the fact that if you kit these with serious driveage, Linux won't work properly. I'm old school and prefer
RAID 1 to RAID 5, so I could at least installl Linux. Apparently, Linux won't install in RAID 10 or RAID 5
on these systems.
And yes, Linux is 'installed' now, except that the OS can see both the drive array and the individual
drives. Applications decide at random whether they will use the array or simply grab a slice of
naked drive. Swank, eh? I no longer have the option of rolling back into Windows, since Lenovo
didn't include recovery media and the drives are flipped over now. I may look at integrating the
SATA drivers into a slipstream XP disc this evening, just for grins.
Phone support is good, but their problem is that they are looking to do break-fix, not 'honor the material
in the marketing.' I know what a workable RAID card costs as a standalone; as of now, the phone
support guys would clearly like to be able to help me, but they're not sure they can.
I'm looking at HP workstations and servers tonight; I know these come with SAS as an option, and
recently spec'ed on with 3 x 146G SAS for close to what the thinkstation cost (albeit not with as
much RAM or as fast a chip.) Depending on the price delta, we may bring in a RAID card of our
own, or we may bring in a different box.
The thinkpads, I still like.
This, well, it cost a lot more than a box I'd build myself, and a box I'd build myself would have similar-to-better
performance and working RAID. In theory, it would take much more time than this; in practice, maybe not
so much more.

what are the names and the parameters of the SSIS reports
(delivered with and included in the SSMS)
to navigate from my reports to the build in reports
it's necessary to know the reportname and the parameters.
I want to "combine" respectively want to navigate
from custom reports (works excellent) to the 5 build in reports
please have a look at the attached picture and in particular
to the blue arrow.SSIS_ReportsNavigation
thank you for providing an answer or a hint.to navigate from my reports to the build in reports
Those integrated reports in SSMS are not hosted in SSRS, so there is no URL available where you can navigate to.
The reports run in client side rendering mode = RDLC.

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. -
I am being prompted for the questions for my apple ID. I have put what I think are the answers and it is still not letting me purchase games from my account. I try to send the answers to my e-mail and I am not getting them. I had account issues about a year ago where my id was spelled wrong. Could this be associated with that?

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.I attended uni back in the 70's, and as I recall we had to do some actual research for our term papers - like from books in the library, and needed to "document" our research in a footnote for each page.
I guess times have changed a bit since then I guess - anecdotal evidence is permissible now?

What are the levels and points when you go to yor profile here on the website
what are the levels and points when you go to your profile here on the website? and what do they do?
Welcome!
The level system is rather thinnly explained in this ASC tutorial:
Reputation points, status levels and privileges
What you get for it--that I know of--is that, at Level 2, you get the privilege of using the "Report Abuse" function to tell the Hosts about an abusive poster, inappropriate post, or even to ask that a post be moved to another, more appropriate forum area for the subject matter.
At Level 6, you get Lounge privileges where you have direct access to the ASC Hosts for helping with forum function issues, and to an area where you can hobnob with other Wizards.
The list of all ASC tutorials is here:

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?
Hi all,
1.What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?
2.what effect it does on the ume options to be choosen??
3.for the purpose of integration of r3,bw and crm on portal and crm 4.0 60.2.3 business package which option of stack(java or abap or both)will be good option and which ume option while installation should be choosen?
regards
RajendraHi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs

Every time I close my Firefox browser I receive the following error message (see details below).
FYI:
-- I am running the current version of Firefox.
-- I had no problems with this error message until my computer was recently attacked by 2 viruses:
` SystemFix
` Win7 Antivirus 2012
Both viruses have since been cleaned from my computer. However, I am still receiving this error message.
Here are my questions:
* What are the cause and fix for this problem?
* Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox?
* Is it possible that this error message is related to an add-on and that it has nothing to do with the recent virus attacks?
I look forward to any feedback and support you might be able to provide.

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! -
