Two is better than one, right?

I was just wondering about something. I have a 30gb black iPod 5g. I also own a podsplus case that I've had it in since I got it. Could I also wrap it in an InvisibleShield to keep it from being scratched by dust that gets into the case? Or would it make it impossible to get out? Thanks

I have the Invisible Shield and the PDair case, which is exactly the same as the Podsplus, as far as I can tell. It's a snug fit, but they work fine together. I leave my iPod in the case when updating, but take it out it when charging the battery.

  • Why are two queries better than one

    I'm trying to help out our developers who are struggling with the performance of a very simple select statmenent that for some reason is exhibiting some very inexplicable results.
    I'll show the SQL as a single statement first.....
    select * from transaction1 t where t.hid in (select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value');
    transaction 1 has 250k records, history1 has about 100k as does filter1. We know generally the subselect will only return a total of half a dozen or less records (only 1 in our testing here).
    Running the above query takes around 7 seconds.
    Changing this to a with clause.....
    WITH a as (select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value') select * from transaction1 t where t,hid in (select a.hid from a);
    and the runtime drops to 3 seconds. But then re-running the first statement again also now takes 3 seconds (so I guess there's some caching going on there).
    Now what really puzzles is if we split this into two queries.....
    select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value';
    This takes .1 of a second,
    select * from transaction1 t where t.hid in (12345);
    And this takes .1 of a second.
    So why when run seperately are they so fast, yet combined they take so long. I'm a bit baffled by this. We've rewritten the same SQL in half a dozen different ways with the same result and also done the same thing with other tables as well. Is it an optimisation issue?

  • Two "Login" keychains . . . (better than one?)

    Yo, all.
    The other day I was tinkering with my keychain access and noticed that I have TWO (2) "Login" keychains. They are identical, unlocked . . . I decided to delete one of them and voila, they both disappeared! When I created a new Login keychain two appeared!
    Any ideas about this one? Seems weird to me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Opening two windows with "_blank" rather than one...

    While setting up external links, I am finding that every time
    I have the link open in a new (_blank) window, two windows will
    open up with the same link rather than one. I guess two is better
    than none, but does anyone know why this is happening? And also how
    to fix the problem? I tried using _parent and it does the same
    thing. I'm new at flash but understand the principles, though is
    there something I'm missing?

    I know of no reason why that would happen other than having
    the getURL, LoadVars or whatever being called twice - e.g once with
    an onPress and then again with onRelease or something like that.

  • Are 2 drives better than 1

    I am not planning on doing any raid. My Question:
    If you have 2 drives: 1 for the boot and the other for data:
    (250g each). Would that setup be better than one 500g drive in terms of speed etc?
    Just looking for opinions?

    Beside of that purpose on the previous post, I prefered split that HD into two for back up and ease of restoring data and system purpose.
    So the next time you want to reinstall the OS and all programs I could concentrate on the Os system drive without having to much worry about data which is stored on other drive or if I want to back up data, just concentrate on data drive without worrying about accidently deleted system or part of program files.
    Good Luck.

  • Why is my through put better with two applications than one application?

    I have two functions, acquire data and write date to database.  If I divide these two functions into two applications run under one project, my through put is 100 Hz; but if put both function into one application my through put 10 Hz.

  • Two iphones, intending one O2 account - more than one i tunes account

    Hi... Possibly me being very stupid BUT...
    Today my partner and I got our new iphones from apple. We will be joining O2 as new customers and before I start activation I need clrification on a few points and can't find the answers anywhere lol.
    We run three different computers and both have our own itunes accounts - with our varied purchased music. My partner stupidly has two itunes accounts of his own and now wants to merge them togethr. (seperate issue! Is this possible???)
    When we activate the iphones they'll be in an account in his name and so we need to activate the phones in his itunes account. Does this mean I won't be able to use my iphone in line with my own itunes account??
    Can we use the phones on more than one computer as we both have seperate laptops. His is macbookpro and his main computer. I have laptop on vista and desktop on vista but the music library is on all computers... we've managed to transfer purcahses to each system already.
    Sorry it's long winded. Does anyone out there understand what I mean and can they help at all? I am desperate to get my iphone up and running
    Thanks
    Chalie x

    Hi,
    Thank you so much for responding. I admit to giving ap at 1am yesterday - still having not activated my new iphone as I wanted to make sure I did it right in the first place.
    Can I ask the incredibly dumb question (I am blonde and female... no offence to any others ) How do I do that? Is it a case of when I connect my iphone to itunes I just make sure that I am logged into my own itunes account like I would with my nano?
    Sorry of this is dumb...
    Many Thanks again

  • What are the right DNS records to host more than one site on OSX Server (ML). My conf in Server.app looks right but one of my sites lands on the default server. Any suggestion?

    I started using OSX Server on Mountain Lion a few days ago and it looks promising.
    I do however measure my ignorance in DNS matters...
    I defined two websites in addition to the the Default Server, so I have three names to deal with.
    For argument's sake
    - www.main.com is the default site
    - www.sitea.com is the first site
    - www.siteb.com is the second site
    I define a virtual host for www.sitea.com and another for www.siteb.com
    The resulting apache conf is what I would expect, I am pretty sure it is correct.
    So I modified my DNS entries (they were A records) to point to my new OSX Server.
    My result is:
    - www.main.com shows the default site
    - www.sitea.com shows the first site
    - www.siteb.com shows...the default site
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Thanks MrHoffman!
    My problem ended up being a name but not in the DNS!...In Apache.
    Your information allowed me to rule out possibilities and zoom in to the culprit faster.
    I just report here the conclusion hoping it can help someone else.
    When I installed OSX Server last week, I had in mind to principally run siteb.
    During the initial install, this is what I must have entered and then forgot about it.
    Then I defined my virtual hosts sitea and siteb and realised my machine was called siteb and changed its name to main to avaid a name collision. At which time I remember OSX Server telling me that changing the name could have consequences...But it apparently went ok, and it did except for one little thing.
    The consequence was this:
    in the main configuration file /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/http_server_app.conf the ServerName directive had remained siteb (instead of main). I manually updated it with TextEdit (could do vi from bash, its the same) and replaced siteb with main.
    There is a way to detect it.
    In Server.app, there is a "logs" panel, which displays all sorts of logs for everything including the websites.
    Each website's logs are presented as "access" and "error" logs. The information was there, but I could not see it because the viewing window in remarkably small for so much information in raw text...
    web logs are actually written to only two files in /var/log/apache2 (error.log and access.log)
    I openned two bash windows and run tail -f on error.log in one and tail -f access.log in the other.
    When I started the web service, apache threw a warning stating from mod_ssl saying that the certificate did not match the serve name...I the certificate was what I expected, I checked http_server_app.conf and found the ServerName directive that was not changed when I renamed my server...
    Easily fixed when its found, but it can take a while to find.
    BTW, I was using A DNS records for and it works, but I find your method of using CNAME records documents the administrator's intent better than with A records; I started to do the same. (A records a useful though, they can run a domain across multiple machines)
    Cheers mate!

  • Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg????

    Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg as when i add new email address's in settings it just says veriyfying and nothing happens????

    If I read your question right, yes.
    My pad has two e mail addresses, and my phone has a phone number as well as a e mail address.  For each device you can add additional 'receive at' addresses in settings.
    Note, when you add a new address, apple will send an e mail to that new address that you need to respond to, to show that it is a valid address.  So look in the inbox of that e mail account for the verification e mail.  Note further, some spam filters think that the verification e mail might be spam, so if it does not show up in your in box, look in any spam file you might have.
    in my case, the verification e mail came within a few minutes of declaring the new address.
    The multiple address are useful if you have more than one device under your apple id, and want to be able to send stuff to that particular device.

  • Would two 6600 gt's be better than 1 geforce 7800?

    i have 1 6600 sli gt card in right now. i was wondering if i should get a second 6600 or just go out and buy the 7800. Would getting another 6600 double the power that i have with 1 6600? Or would getting 1 7800 be better than two 6600's? Thank you

    That's the problem with this type of scenario and why I loath what comes out of the tech bunghole so often. This technology is nothing new and will probably fade like the last time. With more powerful GPU's and more on-board RAM, not to mention dual GPU's coming, and what's already being touted, I am not surprised by the time games and apps catch up to the current hardware, you will have, once again, outdated hardware as always. . On paper it's dramatic increases, but in reality (real world) not much changes. In other words, the numbers to cash expenditures aren't proportional to the user experience in my opinion. Now if you want bragging rights, or you're a benchmark whore, then have fun. I've had lots of fun myself with it, I'm just happy with respectable performance from my computer nowadays.
    I can still play games at acceptable frame rates with my 5950 on a socket A motherboard, but it's hard to go back to that when you have a system like mine sitting next to it. And mine isn't even that fast compared to what you see floating around here.
    My next setup won't be SLI either.

  • How can I move clips in my project more accurately? i.e. Less than one frame over left or right?

    Hi there
    I'm trying to sync some video to some audio. I have snapping turned off, yet I cant move a frame left or right any less than one frame.
    Is it not possible to move a frame anyless than one frame left or right? It still SNAPS to one frame left or one frame right.

    As Jon has told you, you CAN NOT adjust video in less than a 1 frame increment.  And I honestly doubt that even if you could, that you'd see the difference in the audio synch.  In the good old days of film editing, it was only possible to adjust the audio synch for 35mm within a 1/4 of a frame (as each frame has 4 perforations) and 16mm within a frame (as each frame has 1 perf). 
    The only way to avoid this problem (if it is a problem) is to genlock the cameras so the timing of each frame matches from camera to camera.

  • Is it better to have more than one Catalog

    I have close to 800 GB worth of images, and I just got LR, so not sure what would be best.
    I will be importing my images as (Reference), since I have all my images on Ext. HD. The questions that I have is should I import my images on two separate Catalogues.
    I read somewhere that it's recommended to have more than one Catalogue as a precautionary measurement, I guess if something happens to one of the catalogues, I still would have some images available. Yes, I am aware of back ups.
    I am open to any suggestions,
    Thanks

    Elli,
    Aah, now that makes a difference. It seems that we are concurring, what you described is the same thing that mentioned where you can set under "Preferences" to select which Catalog to work with. I think what threw me off, is when you said that your DB was on your Int. HD. Actually, I think all is there is the name of the file,i.e., .lrdb.
    I think this is the safest way to set up LR, regardless how many images you have. You always have to think about Plan B. I'll check the link you sent me. I'm also using LR User's Manual 135 pgs.
    I am aware of the large number of images I have, and that is why I'm editing, deleting as much as possible prior to the migration. I checked the Preferences and I changed preview at 1024 pixel (the smallest).
    JohB
    Yeah, it's kind of funny regardless. Oh I wish I could have an invisible dig camera reaching the other side hmmm, that would be something eh?
    I would like to use the same analogy you used. I am sure that B&Noble keeps a separate DB and they extract and manipulate their DB with their Corp. DB. Having said that, that is basically my intention. Why would I review my inventory relying on a single DB. Why not bring the DB for the store that I am interested.
    There are a couple of reasons that I'd go for more than one Catalog. One is the obvious it would be a huge preview file to open and work with a single DB. Second, if something should happen I don't want to be dependent on having all my images on a single DB. Granted, I'd have a back up but..... you never know.
    I am sure about performance issue, but I would suspect that for the mere fact, that if you open LR is going to take a bit longer to bring all the previews on.
    In spite of the big task I have, it has been very rewarding. I found some images that I have not seen for a while and too be honest some were huge files. I remember that I have a couple that I had it sent for Drum scanning and the file is huge. I have taken them out of my HD and made multiple DVD copies. Can you imagine having this puppy on LR and trying to boot up?
    JohnK,
    Thanks for bringing up a good point, about using a different keyword system. Now the question is how could I differentiate them in a very simple way having a big file. I was thinking that I could batch it or maybe using Automator

    Just tried installing an update to OSX Snow Leopard.  Prior to trying to update OS, I was running V 10.6.3.  During installation, it locked up.  Although the screen tells me that the installation will be completed in less than one minute, that was two hours ago, and the computer won't permit me to shut it down via the power button, as I get an error sound.  What do I do now?  Help!

    Hold the power key till it shuts down, it may take a little while, try holding it thru the warning.
    Then if it shuts down restart and open Safari/Preferences, General tab, and set "Save Downloaded Files to:"
    Select desktop, if desktop is not available in the the drop down menu, click other, then select Desktop from the column from the on the left.
    Then download this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    This will download the "stand alone installer"
    Click on the installer pkg and follow the prompts.
    Hope this helps
