Best way to pull an MBP from a toploading computer case

Please help solve a philosophical dispute we have over here.
What's the best/safest way to pull a MBP out of a toploading computer case? One hand or two hands? Put it in so you will pull from the latch side or from the hinge side?

Thanks for all your input, it's always helpful to have sources to quote when know-it-all's try to out-know-it-all you... Just a couple of items for the record (and for our Canadian newbie to confirm our looney-tune'ness):
We've all come across a number of reports in the forums about warped lids, which raises the suspicion of pressure on the edge as a cause. Especially in big 17" lids.
Way back, I had a black 5200 PB. After awhile of pulling it out by grabbing from the hinge side, the LCD started failing, with all sorts of psychedelic patterns. Turned out Apple used a flat ribbon cable to connect the LCD to the motherboard and it did a 90 degree turn, folded over itself, near the hinge. My repeated pinching on that side eventually caused the cable to fracture. Nowadays, you could argue that pinching the latch side could cause the built-in iSight to fail.
Anyways, I just received a RadTech Sleevz for the MBP, which will afford better grip when pulling it out of the case, so problem solved.

  • HT1338 best way to extract a video from a website?

    what is the best way to extract a video from a website? THANKS!

    how bout a bit more thought on this one, some people are trying to pull a video clip from their 15 seconds of fame on channel 7 news,
    or perhaps a short intro video clip, on a site they own becuase it is playing as flash. since they never had hard copy of the video clip, its difficult to ask themselves for permission, if they don't know how, which is, i'm sure, why this fellow did indeed ask.
    no such thing as dumb questions...just helpful ones that others may also wonder.

    Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
    You cannot get higher resolution by converting  the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
    Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
    Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
    Agreed.
    You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

    Hi,
    please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
    Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
    of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
    How/best we we can do it using  bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
    Thanks,
    Vinoth

    Hi Vinoth,
    For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
    adapter.
    http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
    However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
    MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
    I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
    records are available.
    Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
    If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
    SSIS 
    forum and you will get specific support.

  • Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

    Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

    presuming they're not copywriteed commercial dvd's, you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the dvd files to mp4's that you can then import into iTunes and sync to your device.
    If they're copywritted commercial dvd's then you'd have to break the copywrite encoding to transcode the files and since that is illegal in the US no one here can help you with that.

  • What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie

    What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie?
    I am using iMovie 06 (Naturally) with iDVD 08. I have always used;
    iMovie 06, File > Share to iDVD 08. And got pretty good results.
    Some say the best way is to quit iMovie 06, open iDVD and import the movie from the Media button.
    I have tried both methods in the results look the same. I'm interested in getting the very best quality possible.

    You likely have one of the most expensive media converter boxes on the market today.
    But does it work well with most macs? (my guess is that it does). But more specifically can it "handshake" with an intel based mac? I personally haven't tried it.
    But you may want to read this for yourself if you haven't already:

    Assuming it works then the best format is .dv which this unit will support apparently.

    I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and I want to remove it from my older MacBook Pro.

    Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

    I'll assume you really mean "blocked" as opposed to "denied". You can either create an event action filter and subtract the blocked action, or you can add the address to the "never block" addresses.

    What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
    Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
    Thank you! Vielen Dank!

    What are you talking about exactly?
    If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
    alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
    does not seem to make sense in this context though.
