Which www daemon do you use, and why?

I currently use apache, but have been looking into lighttpd lately. I have read some very good things about its performance.
What www daemon do you use?
Why do you use it?

I'm not a httpd guru (read: I don't need any special features), but as for now I use lighttpd as my small web server. It's pretty simple, yet robust. Configuration is a breeze, everything's in one place, documentation covers all the important things in a nice manner. Moreover, benchmarks show it to be more efficient than apache, although it doesn't concern me that much ;-)
Apache is obviously a good piece of software, but with robustness comes the complicity. Like not even being sure what's the compress module for apache2 (*points at cactus*) ;-)
I've tried lighttpd solely for fun and, well, managed to set up some things I wouldn't even bother to set with apache (i.e. I wouldn't bother to browse all those modules docs, seeking the right thing).

    Which email service would you recommend and why? Google's or BC's?

    Easy Answer. Google. Hands down Google is better. BC has had issues in the past and while I think the issue is a little bit better I would choose Google. Do remember that Google Apps is $50 (USD) per year per user.
    I have used Google Apps since they were still offering 50 free users and has worked great ever since. If there have been downtimes I have not noticed or has been so slight that is hasn't effected me in anyway. This is not the case with BC.
    I am not trying to knock BC mail but it isn't the best.

  • What power supply attachement do you use and why?

    Hey All! im curious i use to use the AC wall plug that came with the magsafe charger but recently started using the power cord for more length. I started using it since im home most of the time and the outlets are pretty far from the sitting arrangements. So what do you use and why?
    Thanks!

    I use the longer one all the time, as I usually end up aways away from a plug, and its easier to fit into an outlet or power strip that is already overburdened with warts.
    I don't understand why one cord is grounded, and the other is not. The brick clearly doesn't need grounding, so why is the longer cord grounded? Is it some sort of weird law?
    When travelling, I ALWAYS throw the little short flip-out plug in though, just in case I am in some archiac building that has not been updated with 3-prong grounded wiring. I also heard that in Canada, most or all of the plugs are two-prong only.

  • Bootcamp or Paralles - what do you use and why?

    What program do you use and why?

    I use both.
    Boot Camp provides to full power of your MBP and for many, most importantly it has direct graphics support where Parallels does not. My MBP has replaced my Dell PC and this is now my "full time" PC as well as my travel/TV watching Mac.
    Parallels on the other hand has the advantage of being a very quick and simple solution for those that predominantly use Mac OS X who additionally require sporadic use or lower performance applications in Windows.
    Now that Parallels now allows you to utilise your Boot Camp partition, resulting in only a single Windows license, partition and disk usage I think many will find benefit from using both depending on the momentary need.

  • Which infrastructure are you using and why?

    Dear Portal Experts,
    I would be most interested in learning which tools portal developers are using in their daily work. I have therefore started a survey at the Collaboration Workspace (actually a discussion - 'survey' was not available).
    I would be happy if the readers of this forum could also participate to collect this information.
    Thanks a lot,
    Björn

    Still kinda debating on the two. I have the 8GB 3G right now and don't fill it up a lot.. but I also have another MP3 player that i keep my music on and don't take a ton of pictures. But I know with the better camera and video recording, I will be using it a lot. I am pre ordering tomorrow, but still undecided. Just don't know that I want to spend an extra $100. I can always transfer my pictures to my computer (or website) if I needed to. Just keep the ones I really want. Videos I will probably keep on my computer for sure. Guess I will go with the 16GB. Still leaves me room for songs (I like to keep around 200 at a time for a variety at work), pictures, apps, and some video.

  • For Inventory Adjustment : Which Idoc type to be used and why?

    Hi Gurus,
    For Goods Movement in one of the MM-Purch Implementation I used the Idoc type : MBGMCR03
    at that time inventaory was not playing a big role.
    But for now for doing inventory adjustment (Inventory has importance now) which Idoc type to be followed:
    Can I use same Idoc type : MBGMCR03
    Or Shd I go for Idoc type  : WMMBID02
    In some threads I read if MM you shd. go for MBGMCR03 and for IM : WMMBID02.
    But why I dont know the answer...
    Please give me your views on this.
    Thanks
    Amresh

    MBGMCR03  is basically the BDBG idoc type and uses BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE to post the goods movement... You can check the documentation for the FM /BAPI  to determine what kind of goods movement is possible. You can look at T158G table to find the t-codes supported. If you can post your inventory adjustment using the BAPI, you can use MBGMCR03, as long as middle ware can support that format...
    As far as the WMMBID02, It uses the IDOC FM (which in turn also uses the MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT)..

  • Which would you keep, which would you sell, and why?

    This kind of question might not be totally appropriate for this forum, but here goes anyhow. If it's really off-topic, I suppose the mods can delete it, but I am really having a hard time with this decision.
    I am thinking of selling off a couple of laptops for a newer (refurbished) 15-inch AlBook. I am selling an iBook for sure. Also, one of the following will go to my wife, and one will get sold to help raise cash for the newer AlBook:
    1. TiBook, 15", 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB hard drive, Superdrive, Airport
    2. AlBook 12", 867MHz, 1.12GB RAM, 60GB hard drive, Combo drive, Airport Extreme, Bluetooth
    Which one would you sell, which one would you keep, and why? I have my own ideas, but I am really on the fence as to a final decision. I need some other opinions from people who know TiBooks better than I do.
    Thanks. By the way, I'm really not this indecisive in real life. Now for my next question: Given the choice between pancakes and sausage or eggs and bacon for breakfast, which would you choose and why?

    IMHO no Powerbook as been as fine as a Titanium and as you have the 1GHz SD Ti I would defintely keep that. For the following reasons:
    Far more comfortable screen to use. (1280x854 versus XGA)
    DVI connection (instant connection to projectors/lcd monitors no need for adaptors like the Al 12)
    PCMCIA slot
    64Mb versus 32Mb Graphics Memory
    Style - it's slimer(2.5cm Ti versus 3cm Al) and I prefer the look.
    All ports convieniently on the back and under a cover to keep dust etc out.
    Shed load of replacement parts available on eBay (not had to use this yet though)
    and specfically because of what you list:
    100Gb HDD versus 60Gb
    Superdrive versus Combo
    Processor Speed
    You can soon add BT, 802.11g, card reader or USB 2 (or any future technology) to a Ti via the PCMCIA but even though the Al has AE and BT you can't add FW800 or whatever else crops up to the Al 12.
    The negatives of the Ti would be - battery is most likely to critically fail shortly and the slower memory speed on the Ti.
    I love my Ti, even though it's three years old now (still 2.5hrs charge!) new Al books are not at all tempting - tell me what else I could achieve witha new Al over the Ti?
    regards
    mrtotes
    P.S. Pancakes for breakfast - absolutely bonkers! I tried it once on my Honeymoon to Canada - it won't catch on. Eggs and bacon is the way ahead, but a Full English would be preferable...

  • MIDI CONTROLLERS WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOSE AND WHY?

    Between M-Audio 8v2 , M-Audio 02 , M-AUDIO 49E and M-Audio axiom 25. Which one of these would you choose and why?

    The Axiom 25.
    For the rotary encoders, pads and memory.
    I'd take this over the 49 because both of the keyboards will be pitiful and your better of getting a full size board with hammer action if its about the "piano" feel. These things are great to have at hand when fiddling with synths while setting up in logic.

  • Which kerning option do you use in After Effects, and which should be the default?

    Which kerning option do you use, Metrics or Optical?
    Which do you think should be the default?
    How would you feel about us changing the default to Optical and creating a new preference where you can set the default?

    OK. Here's where we've ended up for now:
    One of our software engineers is working on fixing the bug that keeps the setting from being persistent. So, if you like Optical, you can set it that way once and it will be the default for new text layers created after that.
    We're not going to change the default right now. Our thinking is that fixing the bug makes it so that the people who want Optical only need to change it once, and we should continue to match Photoshop and Illustrator with their default. Also, Angie makes a good case that even if Optical is the right solution much of the time, having the default be Optical will cause people to miss out when a type designer has done the right thing and done the pairs correctly for the Metrics case.
    We'll revisit this decision if it turns out that our incremental step of just fixing the bug isn't enough to satisfy everyone.
    Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

  • I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

    Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
    Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
    You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
    Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
    Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
    If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
    You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
    Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
    good luck

    My I-Phone has music on it that was synced from an I-Tunes library from a previous computer (which is no longer in use) AND purchases from the I-Tunes store.  I would now like to transfer ALL of that music (not just the purchases from the I-Tunes store) into the I-Tunes library that I've established on a new computer.
    Can that be done, and how (I've attempted without any success)?
    Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!!

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

  • Which mail agent do you use?

    a while back we had "what http daemon" and "what ftp daemon" do-you-use posts...
    so I'm curious about mail agents... qmail? exim? the dreaded sendmail?

    Courier-MTA (as a whole set of programs) is most complete which means you don't have much work finding other elements for your mail server. They are already there and work together very well. The minus is the lack of practical documentation (comparing to other MTAs) and some kind of orthodoxy in implementation (some people think it's not practical).
    Exim is also a very good and well designed MTA with nice and easy to read docs.
    Postfix does not look so orderly but it's probably the most configurable. The docs are a bit spread over the web but the amount of guides and howtos is probably the highiest among all big 3 MTAs (check out some MTA mailing lists - it's probably most popular MTA so naturally most weird config has already been tried by someone).
    Most if not all of the typical tasks can be done using any of the above.
    If this is your first MTA and you want a simple setup and at the same time you don't want to spend time on searching and tweaking components of a mail server (POP, IMAP, webmail etc.) choose Courier-MTA. Courier-MTA is probably the least popular among the big 3 MTAs (but not because of its quality).
    If you need more from MTA and want good examples of working configs but your setup is not very complex and you are not the type of person who likes to write lots of scripts choose Exim.
    If you want some special configuration, tons of examples and docs and have time to dig in it and customize to your needs (in other words you want it as flexible as possible), choose postfix. Postfix is very often a choice of internet providers.
    The above is only my opionion based on my experience and is only an advise for fubar (so don't flame! I'm burnproof :-))

  • Which server model do you use?

    Folks,
    Which server model do you use with Dreamweaver.  ASP, PHP_MySQL or ColdFusion?
    Is anyone still using ASP.Net or JSP with DW?
    In your opinion, which of the three server models is best supported by DW CS5 and which one needs most improvement?
    UltraSuite

    David,
    First of all let me say how impressed I am with your contribution to the Dreamweaver Community.  Your tutorials and other resources are most impressive and I am sure they are appreciated by a lot of Dreameaver users.
    What you have said about PHP is precisely what I have heard from people via private emails.  That is why I recently released a package of simple but frequently used PHP extensions.
    WebAssist seem to have done a great job and I am sure I'll be no competiiton for them or anybody else.  For me this is more like a hobby. That is why when I had the market for server-side extensions, all to myself, I still kept giving away a lot of free extensions.
    I remember in the early days a fellow Dreamweaver sent me an email saying that he had found the MagicSuite on a couple of Chinese servers.  I went to take a look and two servers traced to Shanghai mentioned more than 20,000 downloads each of the MagicSuite, which was free anyway.  This was just within days of a book that was published in Chinese in Taiwan and which (with my permission) had discussed each of my extensions with screenshots, etc.
    Sorry for going off on a tangent.  Thanks for your reasoned response.
    J.S.
