Which is better HP or Epson scanner for iMac 27"?

HP or Epson best scanner for iMac 27"?

Put it this way:
I have a 6 year old Epson scanner that has sucessfully scanned 16,000+ photos, plus umpteen documents.
If for some reason I was faced with having to buy another scanner, Epson would be first place I would look. Canon would be second (love their printers), HP would be last.
Please don't ask me why, this is a purely subjective gut-feeling opinion!

Which is better: strct or unstrct fm for docs 200 pages

Background:
there is discussion in my department regarding merits of working in structured vs unstructured for large docs, say over 150 - 200 pages; specifically, a new set of docs for Project X is coming through that will be worked on mainly by people Not familiar with strct fm, which means definite ramp-up time
I've been working in strct fm for about a year however my docs are typically only about 60 pages long. I'm a proponent of working in structured fm however am not going to be on Project X
two of the Project X team are familiar with strct fm. They are strongly recommending staying in unstructured. Their reasons include ramp up time for new writers and issues regarding working with imported table content (assigning paragraph tags to each entry, etc.)
Would really like to hear experiences of people who use structured FM for long docs as I can only speak to ease of use in shorter-sized documents.
Would like to hear advisability of staying in unstructured or not...Please advise.
Thanks!

I routinely edit structured books that are several hundred pages long (and
set up applications for people in varying environments to do so). I have
edited single structured files as long as 1400+ pages. I use structured
FrameMaker for almost everything I write, even single-page letters.
Reasons often given for use of structure include:
1) Satisfying a requirement for XML delivery
2) Promoting consistency across a document set and within a document
3) Enforcing some of an organization's writing standards(such as requiring
an introductory paragraph before a figure or prohibiting lists with a
single item)
4) Allowing access to various XML tools
In addition, a properly designed structured environment simplifies many
every day editing tasks (some of which Van has already enumerated in this
thread). Some others are listed in
http://www.txstruct.com/papers/FrameUsers02.productivity.pdf.
Are the Project X writers already familiar with FrameMaker? If so, it
shouldn't take more than about a day for them to learn how to work with
structured documents. (Feel free to contact me off-list for information on
a self-study course on structured editing for users with are familiar with
the original FrameMaker user interface.)
The other concern you mention is assigning paragraph formats to cells in
imported tables. How are the tables created? How are they imported into
FrameMaker? Are they dynamically updated or is the content static once they
are inserted into the FrameMaker documents? Maintaining the formatting
within tables should be no more difficult in structured FrameMaker than it
is in unstructured FrameMaker. Formatting options may be specified in
attributes rather than paragraph/table formats, but the same table
capability is available in both user interfaces. Depending on how the
tables are created, in fact, using XML and XSLT along with a structured
environment may make it easier to move the data into FrameMaker.

I have a Question which is better to design a flyer for a furniutre store

i can work with Photoshop which i know best, or Illustrator or indesign i need help please !

I would use Illustrator for the document setup. Plenty of fire power using typography tools, color, etc. Believe it or not, I still start with a sketch or a rough pencil comp and show those if necessary. Once the layout has been approved, then I can move on to preparing image files ( Photoshop ) at 100% final size for "Placement" into either Illustrator or InDesign. I like Illustrator because it is faster ( for me ) and I can create a final PDF on the fly. I would avoid doing any type of print work all in Photoshop. File size and manageability quickly become issues. How many images are you planning to use in the flyer? Have you decided on a print vendor yet? If so, discuss the project with them and get their file requirement checklist.
And, take a look into Adobe's "Print Publishing Guide" for more info. A very helpful resource.

Which legacy version of iTunes to use for iMac G4?

Hi everybody,
I dragged an unused iMac G4 800 with 256M Ram running 10.3.9 home to use as a "music box" streaming iTunes to our stereo. No advanced use needed (just playlists) and just audio.
What is the latest version of iTunes we can use WITHOUT changing OS (to Tiger) or adding RAM? Simply to use as is?
Thanks

Copied from: [Topic : iTunes on Panther |http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1801876]
iTunes 7.7.1, still available here:
[http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes77]
Edit: Oops, I guess that download link is dead.
If the Panther machine is connected to the Internet try using Software Update and see what it says is available.

Which is better, many PXI cards or fewer PXI cards with more SCXI cards?

I have a pretty basic question. Which is "better", using multiple PXI cards for analog inputs or a single PXI card and multiple SCXI cards? For example, if I have say 100 channels to sample (all at the same rate), I could use 2 6225s at 80 ch each. Or I could use 1 6220 and 4 SCXI 1100s (32 ch each). What are the pros and cons with either approach? Keep in mind sample rate probably isn't an issue (less than 1 kHz) but it is the same for all channels.
Thanks.

The pros/cons will depend on your application now and in the future. I recommend contacting your local NI sales representative. Synchronizing across a PXI system is easy to do via the backplane. There are PXI/SCXI combo chassis available, you could use PXI multifunction DAQ cards and then SCC for signal conditioning for thermocouples for additional functionality later. There are many possibilities that may be best discussed with your sales representative.

Which is better (Boot Camp) or (Parallel / VMware Fusion)???

Hi guys,
I want to install Windows along OS X...
now what is better?
to install Windows via Boot Camp or via Parallel / VMware fusion??
and if through one of the virtual machine softwares, which is BETTER?? the Parallel for Desktop or the VMware fusion one???
Thank you

Guitarcal wrote:
I use both boot camp and vmware fusion. A neat feature of vmware fusion is you can access your boot camp partition as a virtual machine from vmware. This way, you can have both. I believe parallels might also let you do that but I have never used it. This has been helpful to me if I need to access a file from the boot camp partition quickly and easily without rebooting my computer.
I agree with dwb that xp is probably going to be the best os to run through a virtualization software.
I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either parallels or vmware fusion. There is also a FREE software package created by sun called VirtualBox.
Here is the link to there home page: http://www.virtualbox.org/
I hear and read that it is excellent as well.
Hope this helps.
I just installed parallels and you can use your bootcamp partition for the vm with parallels as well. Its pretty slick. Use it for light applications with parallel, reboot to bootcamp for graphics intensive ones.
Cheers.

Wish to purchase v600 epson scanner have heard conflicting opions on how to install.. use software cd that comes with scanner or use outside software lie nuvue

wish to purchase v600 epson scanner for my mac.. have heard conflicting opinions on install.. use scanner's software cd or use outside software like nuvue ???

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

Hi All, which is better while creating an object

Hi All, which is better while creating an object,
for ex:
public class Joe {
public void disp() {
System.out.println("Joe.disp");
(1) Joe j = new Joe();
j.disp();
(2) new Joe().disp();
of course, both are equal, which is better in performance perspective

I suggest you just write code and when the assignment is done, AND you have a performance issue, only then try to improve things. The question you're asking now is likely of no relevance to the performance of you application.
You can run your application through a profiler to see what specific part of it is consuming (too) much memory.

EPSON Scanner driver 3.03 (June 2007 release) for 4870

This is just a quick FYI for anyone unfortunate enough to have to reinstall there epson scanner drivers. Recently my epson 4870 scanner stopped working with my computer, tried all the usual stuff, permissions, restarting, unplugging other stuff etc. to no avail. So I phoned epson support.
They asked me to delete several epson related files in various folders - some files that I was asked to delete could not be found in the folders they asked me to look in. I pointed out that the driver software had an uninstall option, they said this wouldn't remove all the files.
We emptied the trash, installed the new 3.03 software and restarted, plugging things back in, repairing permissions etc. It still didn't work, I pointed out that 'epson scanner monitor' was no longer in the applications folder - I was told this wasn't required.
Curiously, in the apple system profiler under firewire the scanner seems to be shown as the letter 'G' manufacturer as just 'E' which I thought was strange. If I plug in using a USB cable it will display correctly under the USB list.
To cut a long story short, we spent over an hour going over and over this process, changing firewire cables, trying different ports, redownloading software and in the end I was told to contact apple as it had to be a problem with my machine (and also as it wasn't a PC he couldn't help any further).
I managed to dig out the original installer disk (epson scan, vers 2.0) that came with the machine several years ago, deleted previous files and reinstalled from that. It worked straight away, although I'm anticipating a few problems as this is so out of date.
I wondered if anyone has had similar problems and had managed to find a better solution.

I had a similar experience with the immediately previous version of EpsonScan, so I downloaded and installed 3.0.3 and things got worse. I then unplugged the scanner, uninstalled and reinstalled 3.0.3, thus far it is working. I hope it is not as buggy as 3.0.2

Image Capture for Epson Scanner producing very dark results

I recently upgraded to a new iMac running Mountain Lion. I have a new Epson Perfection v750 Pro scanner, which I use to scan film negatives. I had previously been working with this scanner on a Windows 7 PC. Using Image Capture, I am getting wildly different results -- the resulting scan is completely dark. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere?
I've attached a little preview picture that shows the difference between a scan of the same image, with my PC vs my Mac.

There is no Epson scanner utility for Mountain Lion, it appears. Even Epson's FAQ defers to Image Capture and says it only provides software for image modification.
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&info Type=FAQ&oid=207953&foid=214278&cat=214269&subcat=214264
Unfortunately Image Capture completely fails to provide the service it should be expected to. The 3rd party software VueScan seems like it would be adequate once I learned how to manipulate it a little more, but ultimately the only decision I can justify is to hook up the scanner to my Windows PC and use the TWAIN-based scan utility there.
If there's anywhere I can make an official plea to Apple to get Image Capture in a workable state, feel free to point the way.

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
Hope this helps.

Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

Hi,
We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
Here are our main concerns/desires:
Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
Thanks, Sam

hello,
SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the
Premium Preview
for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.

Choosing between SQL Server in Windows Azure VM & Windows Azure SQL Database

all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
like the GUI much
more than other versions...
