What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.

Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

What type of chart should we use for comparing more than 200 items

Hi Guys,
I have a Pie chart graph for comparing data items but this chart becomes cluttered or serves no purpose when categories increase up to 100 or 200 items.
I have tried collected Pie but still facing same issue.
When the numbers of Legends increases the chart will become cluttered and this will reduce it readability as shown in the image. Please share your suggestions for suitable chart type or strategy to overcome this issue.
Regards

Hi,
As you may know, the issue is caused by the excessive items in the category group of the pie chart. The most direct and effective way is to reduce the items in the category group. Generally, we are not always need the report to display all items in the chart.
In this scenario, we can add a parameter in the report, then use the parameter to filter the corresponding values in the chart.
Besides, in order to increase the chart readability, we can try to use Column Chart to display those values. And we can “Enable scale breaks” in the Vertical Axis. A scale break is a stripe drawn across the plotting area of a chart to denote a break in continuity
between the high and low values on a value axis. Use a scale break to display two distinct ranges in the same chart area.
Reference:
Add a parameter to filter the data in SSRS
Add Scale Breaks to a Chart (Report Builder
and SSRS)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I have a new Mac with usb 3.0 ports. What type of cable do I use for an old usb 1 printer

I have a new IMac with usb 3 ports. What type of cable do I use for conncting on older usb 1 device?

AFAIK, use the USB 3.0 port to the printer. It should be backward compatible. If not, return the useless computer or get a new printer.

What type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme?

what type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme? Thanks.

If you want to repeat both bands of your dual band AirPort Extreme, another AirPort Extreme would meet these requirements.
If you only need to extend one of the bands that the AriPort Extreme provides, then an Airport Express would do that nicely.

What type of partition should I use? Range or Hash or ..?

Hi,
I am on Oracle 8.1.7.4 .
I have a table with 10 million rows and looks like its a good candidate for partitioning.
There is a varchar2 column and the data is evenly distributed on the string value. If I want to partition the table on that string value what type of partitioning can I use. How can I give the range, if I use range partition, on the string value ?
Can/Should I use hash partitioning?
I know that there is a list partitioning in O9i, but I am on 8i.
Please help.
Regards

Table volume, in itself, is not enough to warrant partitioning â¦ hope you have some other reasons.
<quote>
â¦ but would like to partition the table on the mentioned varchar2 column, so that queries would be efficiant.
</quote>
Since you donât mention the actual query or class of queries, maybe it is worth mentioning that partitioning could speed up some queries but also can slow down a lot more other queries.
<quote>
So, how can i re-create the table partitioned on a varchar2 column
</quote>
No different than numbers or dates?
create table tp
( str   varchar2(10) not null
,fill char(20)      not null
partition by range(str)
( partition p1 values less than ('F')
,partition p2 values less than ('L')
,partition p3 values less than ('R')
,partition p4 values less than (maxvalue)
insert into tp
select substr(object_name,1,10), lpad('x',20,'x')
from user_objects
flip@FLOP> select * from tp partition (p2);
STR        FILL
F1         xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GENERATE_R xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
IPSDEV.US. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe link to Tomâs article is fine â¦ it just happens to be one of the few threads heâs not mentioning that partitioning is not the magic fast=true mechanism â¦ look for some other articles on partitioning and youâll quickly discover his views on this subject.
There may be a case for partitioning â¦ but you havenât presented any reasonable justification for it â¦ so, why bother?

What frame rate timeline should I use for 1080p 60fps premiere pro

When using 1080p 60fps clips what sequence should I use when creating a timeline that would work the best for slow mo application?
I read that you should use a 24 fps timeline but i'm not sure?
Also I have a few 720 @ 120 fps, should I create a separate sequence for that and what kind of timeline should I use since cs5 only has 1080 @ 60fps option?

24 is a good frame rate for most animations but some people like 30 and for the max stress on user systems and animation smoothness, use 60.

What type of restore should I use?

My computer is properly backed up using Time Machine. I created a partition using Bootcamp so I could install Windows (I haven't actually installed Windows yet). However, after testing Parallels, which is an amazing program!, I want to get rid of the partition and use Parallels instead.
My understanding is that I have to wipe my hard drive to erase the partition. Assuming this is true, what version of restore should I use? I want the computer to be exactly as it is in the backup, except for the partition.

When I go into the Partition tab, the diagram and text shows my HD as having 148.73 gigs of space (it appears in blue on top in the diagram) and "available space" being 49.5 gigs (it appears in white on the bottom).
Once you deleted the Boot Camp partition, you now have only a single partition. The light-blue shading represents the data in the partition; the white are represents the rest ("available space").
Is this how it should be? I clicked on both the blue area and the white area but that doesn't select them. There is no line between them for me to drag. Also, the "-" and "Options" buttons are grayed out.
If there's only one partition on the disk, the whole diagram, containing both the blue shading and white area, covering the entire disk, should be outlined in medium blue. The "-" sign is grayed-out because there's only the one partition. If there were 2 or more, you could use it to delete one.
If you wanted to make a second partition, you would click the plus sign. DU would then change the diagram, splitting the existing partition. Then you'd see a line between the two, which you could drag up or down, etc. The Options button is used when setting-up a new or erased drive "from scratch," to specify the *Partition Map Scheme* for the entire drive.
Browse Disk Utility's help for a general idea of what it can do. (It's one of the few apps that has fairly comprehensive explanations and instructions.)
I should mention that I installed Parallels so I could run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously (it is quite amazing!). Could it be that Parallels creates an unlabeled partition?
I don't do Windoze, but it's my understanding that Parallels makes one huge OSX file that contains the entire Windows system, rather than the way Boot Camp uses a separate partition. I also understand that this huge file is automatically excluded from Time Machine, so it doesn't back the whole thing up every time anything is changed. You can check this via TM Preferences > Options.

What type of fan should i buy for my MacBook?

Core Duo 1,83 Ghz "Yonah"
Maximal Ram 2GB of DDR2
I want to replace the fan What type of fan should i buy on e-bay with Free ships?
I Live is Hungary in Central Europe.
Many Thanks.

I'd like to chime in and offer a differing opinion. The size factor of all SSD's don't leave much to question, but there are a couple other things that you can research and take into account.
The biggest thing to look for after the capcity you want is the connection speed. Your Macbook is last generation compatible with SATA 3.0Gbs transfer speeds, and while you can still utilize an SSD with SATA 6.0Gbs, your connection won't be able to fully utilize the full speed of such an SSD.
The upside is that SATA 3.0Gbs SSD's are selling for much less now on ebay and on Amazon since they are last generation, so you can pick one up on a budget. If money is not an issue and you'd like to spend a bit more for the latest generation SSD that you can transplant into the laptop you want to purchase after your mid 2009, a current generation SATA 6.0Gbs SSD is going to work fine and will also work great in whatever you upgrade to.

You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

What kind of motor should I use for lifting a heavy load?

I'm working on an automation application in which I need to control a lifting mechanism with heavy load (about 120 lbs). I will be getting constant temperature readings and based on that data I can determine the rate of change of the temperature. If the temperature rate is too fast then I need to be able to slow down the motor, if it is too slow then I need to speed it up. I'm looking for some support with choosing the right motor and hardware so that I have full speed control, while still being able to lift this heavy load, hold the load in a certain position, and then raise the load back to its original position. I was considering a stepper motor for this due to its ability to brake so the load can stabilize. Is this the right call or should I use a continuous servo? Where can I get such a stepper that can handle this type of load and has software that interfaces with LabVIEW? Would I be safe getting low-cost hardware for this application? Any guidance would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies to this topic. I just discovered the worm gear option yesterday while talking to a professor. I think that is the route we are going to take because the DC motor won't be as expensive as a high-torque stepper or servo. Also, I have three engineers that will be calculating the motor size based on gear reduction, spool size, cable length, and the load that we have to lift (which is about 120 lbs.). If any of you would like to suggest a motor size, that would be great too. I'm thinking something around 1HP should probably do it. My goal is to stay cost-effective while making an easy apparatus. I know that the worm gears may also be inefficient at times but it seems like the best solution for this application. Not to mention it's not to hard for our mechanical engineers here to make the spool and bearings. And I believe you can buy a DC motor that interfaces directly with a worm gear. However, a follow up question is what computer hardware do I need to control the voltage of the motor so I have speed control? Is this done through an RS232 board? My output from the LabVIEW program will be voltages, from which device is that binary signal converted into physical voltage? Thanks for your help so far.

What type of connection should i use?

Not sure if i should i post this here or web tier api's, but here goes...
I have a servlet in a tomcat webserver and i want it pass information between it and a standard j2se application running on the same machine.
I'm not sure what type of connection i should use?
DataStream?
Socket?
HttpConnection?
Any other recommended method?
Or if i need a network connection like that at all?
Thanks for the help

The most straightforward method would be to use rmi since both are running java. that is the least amount of work on your part in terms of managing connections and data marshalling. any of the other solutions add more burdens in one or both of these areas.

What kind of analysis should i use for these signals?

i'm developing a lie detection system,i have one respiratory sensor and a hand grip heart rate monitor to acuire the physiological signals from the sensors.i have attached a screenshot of the application.the top signal represents the heart beat and bottom one is respiratory signals.my question is that what analysis mwthods should i be using for these signal types?would you please care to help me on this? thank you.

What external hdd bus should I use for FCP 7?

Howdy! My colleague and I are editing a film in FCP 7, and media handling has become somewhat, complicated, shall we say. So we decided that we're both going to buy external hard drives, and keep them in synch using something like Super Duper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. I've been doing some research, but I'm still unsure as to what connection I should use? We're both using MacBook Pro's with firewire 800 ports, and USB 2.0 ports (No thunderbolt). Since these drives are going to be used exclusivly for video and audio, how fast of a connection should we have so that the connection doesn't cause a bottle neck? I know that Sata III can do up to 6.0 Gb/s, but I also know that a hard drive can't utilize that much bandwidth. So will USB 2.0 slow it down, or would it be fast enough? Or should I opt for firewire 800?
This is the hard drive I'm looking at getting, and I'll put it in an external encloser:

P.S. is 5200rpm's enough, or should I get 7200rpm?

If you plan to use the drive for editing/rendering media files, you'll need a 7200rpm drive and a Firewire or eSATA connection.
If you're only using the drive for backup purposes or general data storage, USB and 5400rpm will work.
