Does a DSL really need a ISP?

I have a Login/pass for Qwest and for MSN. Do I need MSN to access the net?
I've only logged in once on MSN during setup. My modem uses the qwest login to connect not MSN's. I would like to drop MSN to save a few $$.

Does Qwest provide an e-mail account? That's the only thing I can think of that
MSN is providing that you might not get fro myour DSL provider. If you're happy with Yahoo mail or Gmail, then all the better.
Unless you're really hooked on MSN "content", your DSL connection should
suffice.
Editorial comment: note that AOL is trying to save their business by adding in all sorts of virus protection for PC users to justify their subscription fee - yet another reason to be happy with your Mac...

Does a CQC really need a separate thread/event queue per instance?

Does a ContinousQueryCache really need a separate thread/event queue per instance?
Is it possible to get multiple cqc's to share a single event queue?

Test case to reproduce shown below, i.e. new thread per CQC.
Sample code:
=====================================
NamedCache dummyCache = CacheFactory.getCache("A");
dummyCache.put("hello", "B");
dummyCache.put("world", "C");
ContinuousQueryCache cqcA = new ContinuousQueryCache(dummyCache, new EqualsFilter("toString", "B"), new MultiplexingMapListener() {
@Override
protected void onMapEvent(MapEvent mapEvent) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
ContinuousQueryCache cqcB = new ContinuousQueryCache(dummyCache, new EqualsFilter("toString", "C"), new MultiplexingMapListener() {
@Override
protected void onMapEvent(MapEvent mapEvent) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
=================================
Output:
EventQueue:ContinuousQueryCache{Cache=A, Filter=EqualsFilter(.toString(), B)}
EventQueue:ContinuousQueryCache{Cache=A, Filter=EqualsFilter(.toString(), C)}
=================================

Does iPhone 6 really need a screen protector?

Does the iPhone 6 really need a screen protector if the phone is in a case?

I put one on my iPad 2, largely cause it's an expensive toy and I want to keep it in good shape. I like knowing that if my niece plays 'mad birds' and gets grubby little fingerprints on it I am simply cleaning off a sheet of plastic, not the screen. I consider it an investment against the potential resell value whenever i replace it.
Like the others have said, personal choice.
I'd think if your device never leaves the living room table and is only used by adults in a controlled surrounding, then you probably have no need. But if you're carrying it around, using it anywhere, potentially sharing it with others then it may be a good idea.

Does my Battery Really Need Replacing?

I have a MacBook 13" (early 2008) that I bought sometime in the middle of 2008 and so is about four years old.
It works perfectly well. The battery still only takes a couple of hours to charge and I'm still getting four to five hours of life from it. I use it on battery power frequently and try not to leave it on the mains too long (after charging). I also calibrate it about once a month.
However despite all that, I'm told via my battery icon that my battery needs to be replaced soon. The only strange behaviour is that it doesn't always know it's fully charged. If I charge from near empty or empty (especially during calibration), it reaches 99% charge in the usual time, but then stays there permanently (with orange charge light). But if I take out the power and put it straight back in again, it instantly registers as 100% fully charged and I get a green light. Other than this, I haven't noticed any other unusual behaviour, and as I stated before I'm still getting excellent battery life out of it.
So my question is simply, do I really need to worry?
Thanks.

Check out this article on preserving your battery for as long as possible:

I think I saw somewhere that you should change your battery every 2 to 4 years.

Does iPhone 4S really need a case?

So I just bought an iPhone 4S, and I'm wondering if it really needs a case, or a screen protector, or both. It just looks so good without it.

No. A case will provide protection. How much depends on the case. A screen protector is supposed to provide protection against scratches. There is a debate on if this is necessary. Personnally I use a holster case and a clear plastic case that surrounds the back and sides. I also use a screen protector because it seems to reduce fingerprint smudges on the screen.

What does a MAC really need to do justice to FCE and FCEHD?

I need to purchase a new laptop. I want to use it to prepare 45 min documentaries. The original video will have audio filmed with it. I will want to add more narration, music, more photos, ie. the works. I have been using iPhoto and find that video containing audio and background noise, plus added narration, photos, and background music limits me to 20-30 min DVDs before stuttering occurs. What hardware do I need to do a professional job?
G4 Dual 1 GHz BUS 133 MHz using an external hard drive for iMovie Mac OS X (10.4.8) all software updates
G4 Dual Mac OS X (10.3.9) all software updates

Hi(Bonjour)!
A laptop is not for professionnal video editing in a regular basis ( at least in your home editing room).
If you need absolutely the portability, that's Okay, but keep in mind that Hard Drives of laptop are slower than one in desktop machine. An external Hard Drive is recommended.
A desktop machine is less fragile, has more connectors on it and is generally faster that the "laptop" little brother (in a head to head comparaison at the same introducing date, the laptop are one generation behind ).
A desktop machine can be easily upgraded and the parts are less expensive.
A good mic is a must to catch good voice overs.

What DB roles are REALLY needed by the applications?

During our upgrade, the security / database guys at my office want me to lockdown the db accounts for portal, publisher, collab, anaytics, etc (also services, notification, security...all the alui related databases). They say that dbo is too privileged and I need to figure out just what the applications need and give them access.
My question is...what does each account REALLY need? Some accounts create tables (analytics). Is it sufficient for those accounts to just be given CREATE TABLE privileges? Can every other account just be given normal CRUD access?

fair enough.
Ali, where did you find the SQL scripts for Collab? Is it someplace I can view easily?
One comment would be that of course it would be fine for these accounts to have DBO during upgrades, etc, if that is the only time when these 'creating views, indexes, and SP's' are used...

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device?

We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case?

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case? ive been reading articles that says it doesn't, opinions please...

In that case (no pun intended), you may not need one. I agree, it does look and feel better without the case. I bought a clear case so it still shows off the design, but the problem is the case itself scratches easily.
It's your call. But I would say, if you are not worried about dropping the phone (with AppleCare+, a replacement is only $49 as you may know), you do not absolutely need a case.

Whem i'm doing the backup it automaticaly saves contacts.....because i've synced with another computer anf it deleted all my contacts...and i really need them!!!!!

Whem i'm doing the backup it automaticaly saves contacts.....because i've synced with another computer and it deleted all my contacts...and i really need them!!!!!

If you haven't been using your phone as recommended, then you've lost all your contacts. Contacts should be synched to your computer (Address Book, Outlook) or a cloud service (MobileMe, Google) for safekeeping. The iPhone was never intended to be a storage device.
If you haven't been using your phone as recommended and synching your contacts as above, frankly, you've no one to blame for your loss of data but yourself.
On that topic, are you making regular backups of your computer's data as well? Hard drives WILL fail.

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?

Hello Angel8C,
Your MacBook Air running Yosemite will need an updated version of the Flash Player plugin to play web content that is in the Flash format (not all video content is Flash; there is also HTML5 video, amongst others). If you are being prompted to update your Flash Player plugin, you may find the following article helpful:
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on March 20, 2015 - Apple Support

Seriously, does it really need to be a new version EVERYTIME I launch Firefox? Is it that buggy? It's super annoying.

Seriously, does it really need to be a new version EVERYTIME I launch Firefox? Is it that buggy? It's super annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Asks me to update FIrefox.

Some different bugs do get fixed with every update, but most of the time you see an update it's because a security exploit was found.
And rather than wait a month or 2 months like Microsoft does, the Firefox team measures how bad the security exploit is and then based on that decides whether to release an immediate update or wait til the next scheduled release of Firefox, which is usually a month or more away.
This way you're protected from whatever the security problem was. And they usually group a couple of security fixes together before giving the new update. So you just don't get 1 fix per version.
So it's not like: Oops, found a security bug! Let's give everyone a new version now! Uh-oh found another one. Let's give a new version again right now!
Yes, it is a bit annoying to be asked to update so often but you can turn off updates if it really bothers you that much.
Although of course, there's like hundreds of Mozilla people that would advise against doing that. You know, security risks, and all that stuff. ;)

I have my landline diverting to my iPhone. However, it does not distinguish whether the call has come from my diverted landline number. My old Nokia many years ago used to show an arrow symbol when it was a call thats source was diverted. I really need to know when a call has come from my landline so I can greet the caller in the appropriate way and also so I can be sufficiently short as I am getting charged for the call from my BT landline to my mobile.

That is not a feature that's available on the iPhone. Sorry.
