Which of these two books?

I had posted a question regarding the book for networking in java sometime back,and well i was given the answer as the book by Esmond pitt.Unfortunately i am unable to gather enough cash for that.However i have zeroed in on three books which are well within my monetary constraints and am contemplating buying one of them.Can someone please tell me which of these three can i opt for?
1.)JAVA NETWORK PROGRAMMING
by ELLIOTTE RUSTY HAROLD - Publisher      OREILLY.
2.)JAVA NETWORK PROGRAMMING
by MERLIN HUGHES / MICHAEL SHOFFNER / DEREK HAMNER
- Publisher      COMPUTER HUT.
3.)BEGINNING JAVA NETWORKING
by CHAD DARBY / JOHN GRIFFIN / PETER DEN HAAN
- Publisher      WROX INDIA PVT.LTD

And for java threads which of these three can i opt
for?
1.)TAMING JAVA THREADS
by ALLEN I HOLUB - Publisher APRESS C/O SPRINGER
- VERLAG.Most of Allen Holub's stuff is available on the web. Google for it.
>
2.)JAVA THREADS
by SCOTT OAKS / HENRY WONG - Publisher OREILLY.This is a good book. Doug Lea's is better, but more difficult.
3.)JAVA THREAD PROGRAMMING THE AUTHORITATIVE
SOLUTION
by PAUL HYDE - Publisher TECHMEDIA.TECHMEDIA? Please.
Why are you bothering? You won't read these, and you won't understand them, Goldie.
Why does a hacker like you need a networking book? I would have figured you knew all this after frying so many hard drives.

Which of these two macbooks (pro and air) will last the longest?

I'm stumped between which of these two laptops to buy, I'll be using it daily at uni. Typical essay writing and internet browsing aswell as some garageband and probably logic use (nothing too heavy). Storage isnt an issue as I'll be buying an external hard drive without question anyway.
Macbook Air 2013 11inches
1.3 Ghz dual core i5
8gb ram (paying extra to upgrade)
128gb flash storage
802.11ac wifi
or Refurbished Macbook Pro with Retina Display 13inches
2.5 Ghz dual core i5
8gb ram
128gb flash storage
802.11n wifi
About a £100 difference between the two computers
I would prefer a laptop that is more portable and cheaper like the Air, however I'm willing to sacrifice this if the Macbook Pro is likely to last me longer. I want to get as many years as I can out of the computer. Any advice about which laptop to get? Or to take a different route?

Honestly, there is no inherent reason why one would or should last any longer than the other. If taken care of and not abused, either one should last many years.

Which of these two hard drives is best for SD-only video editing?

Before I begin, I will start by saying that I realize the BEST hard drive is generally one's internal drive... but, ignoring that, my question is this:
I have 2 external drives available, and can't afford to buy a new one yet. Which of them is best:
1. 7200RPM drive, connected via FW400.
2. 5400RPM drive, connected via FW800.
I guess another way to phrase this question is, which is the more important factor, rotational speed, or connection method?
Just wondered, as I do not have a 7200RPM drive that can use FW800. I want to use the best of these two until I can afford to get a 7200RPM FW800 drive.
Thanks for any insight, and happy new year!

William,
A few people had chimed in great advise, but I like to add my own. Perhaps you will find this useful.
The speed of the hard drive these days are hardly measured by the spindle numbers anymore. 7200 or even 5400 means really nothing other when it was made. That's the same as saying that my old 2.4Ghz Macbook is going to be slightly slower than a new 2.4Ghz Macbook or Macbook Pro. So just looking at the spindle rate is one thing. You need to look at drive generation, link speed, cache size, platter size and platter amount. For example, today's Seagate 7200 RPM drive is at 7200.12 and last year was 7200.11 (a disaster year for them as the drives would click themselves to death!)
Let's start with link speed. The reason why internal drives are faster (at least with the all in one iMac, Mac Mini and Macbooks) is the fact that even at SATA I, it can operate up to 1.5Gbps, which is fast. FW800 is no match against SATA II at 3Gbps and SATA III at 6Gbps. Secondly, the throughput is well sustained with the help of DUAL PROC (Dual Processors) available on 2 Western Digital Blacks (one in SATA II and the other in SATA III flavours!). Digital Blacks come in 500, 640 and 1Tb. BUT, there is a Seagate most fastest drive in the 7200RPM category that is a 2Tb Barracuda XT which has a SATA III interface, though I doubt mechanical drives will achieve such high rates. These drives will simply saturate a FW800 interface port easily.
When we are taking about throughputs, the 60-70MB/s the 5400RPM puts out is only good for the first 30 to 40% of its capacity, because they lie on the outer platter. As the head moves in, the throughput drops. This is a problem with a single drive. However, if you RAID 2 small drives together, then not only your throughput will more than doubled (saturate the FW800), it can be sustained for more than 40% of its stored capacity. Which is why RAID drives are used by professionals. It's easy to built a RAID drive. You can even buy one from the store. So if you want to buy a 1Tb drive, then you will be buying a 1Tb drive in 2 500Gb hard drive sizes RAIDed together.
Another method I use if I only plan to have 1 drive is to "Short Stroke" it. Short stroking is very popular in the PC gaming world. Basically, what they do is run a program like HD Tune to determine what the best sweet spot that would give maximum throughput before it drops. Say a 500Gb gives the best speed for 140Gb, then they would go into BIOS and force format the drive to 140Gb. For
yourself, you can partition 2 drives. First partition would be the smallest and that can be your "render" drive. The second partition would be for storage. It's quasi short stroking, but this will give you the most throughput if you need maximum speed for real time SD video editing.
And Tom is right, always have a separate drive for rendering and never rely on your internal. However, if your internal happens to be 2.5" laptop drive, you can stick in a Seagate Momentus XT drive with its 4Gb SSD cache, it's enough to reduce disk access to the main drive so that's what I use for my Macbook. That's my read and OS drive and the Firewire 400 as my render drive and it's barely doable. FW800 would be nice!
Good luck on your purchase!

Which of these two raid cards will work better?

Which of these cards would be better suited for video editing:
Areca ARC-1882i
LSI 9265-8i
Both are approximately the same price and just in my price range. I will have four 1TB HDD's that I want to put in a raid array. Also assume either one will work with my X79 motherboard.

JobJoe,
I can confirm that ShadowProtect Desktop Editon works great with Areca images for both backup and restore. I have even backed up a RAID OS/boot array from the Areca controller and restored it to a single drive connected to an Intel motherboard controller - how cool is that! It's insanely fast too; imaging my pretty fast RAID 0 boot/OS/programs array with 61GB only takes 2:36 minutes (23.3 GB/min, 279 MB/s, 2232 Mbits/sec). Note too that the affordable "Desktop edition" allows you to any drive on your LAN; I'm pretty sure that to do a restore with this version you can't restore from the LAN, however I've copied the restore image down to a USB hard drive (from the LAN) and then restored to a PC as "stand-alone".
Regarding the HD Tune Results your results are for all practical purposes the same; you can ignore the maximum read speed with the cache on (that's from the controller) for the purposes of benchmarking your drive speed. Regarding the scale difference, I find the "autoscaling" only annoying, but I'm not aware of a way to override it.
Finally, your WD 2TB's "tail off" (slow down) less than most rotating drives I've ever tested using HD Tune Pro; what is the exact model # and firmware version that you are using?
Regards,
Jim

Which of these two external drives shoud I use for recording?

I have a 250G Lacie d2 Hard Drive Extreme and a Seagate 300 Gig Hard drive. Both drives are Firewire and USB 2.0. I got one for recording and another for backup. Which one would you guys say is better for recording/saving audio? Thanks.

Both drives are worthy contenders. I've owned 4 LaCie drives over the past 3 years. One drive died completely, and anothers power supply tanked. But over all, they've been good drives.
Seagate has a strong reputation in audio circles, but I've never bought one.
If one is used as your main drive, and the other is used as a back-up, as long as you are always backing up, I suppose it really doesn't matter which is which, you know?

Which of these two CSS syntaxes is the right one?

padding: 0 0 130px 0;
or...
padding: 0px 0px 130px 0px;

And today what does it buy you?

Which of these statements is faster?

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me which of these two is faster in terms of Performance:
Statement 1:
COMMIT AND WAIT.
Statement 2:
Call FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' .
Kindly reply immediately as this is bit urgent.
Regards,
Vijay

After the system executes the COMMIT WORK statement, it sets the attributes of each persistent object in the ABAP program to initial. (That is, it calls the IF_OS_STATE~INVALIDATE method).
Bapi_transaction_commit... should also not take much time... useing either will not make any significant diff. provided wait time is minimal..

Hi, Unfortunately my Laptop has died (which had my iTunes on it). I want to ensure my music on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air are backed up. Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices?

Hi, Unfortunately my Laptop has died (which had my iTunes on it). I want to ensure my music on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air are backed up. Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices, i.e. NO Computer? Can the iCloud help? Why can't I download iTunes (i.e. my library as I saw it on the computer) to these devices? Thanks to anyone who can help me here.

You can change the email address of one's appleID...
I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
Then switch mom's back to hers
Then change your account to the same email you used.
I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone)

Whats the diffrence between these two JKM's and when to use which one.

Please tell the diffrence between these two.
JKM Oracle Consistent o JKM Oracle Consistent (Update Date)

Basic difference is in the requirement .
JKM Oracle Consistent (Update Date) wants a DATE/TIMESTAMP column in the source tables(s) which will get inserted/update by the source application . ODI will capture the changed data based on this column value . Only the DELETE portion requires a trigger to keep track of deletion happening at source table(s).
Where as JKM Oracle Consistent does not require any DATE/TIMESTAMP column in the source tables(s) . It uses triggers for keeping track of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE happening in source .
In terms of performance JKM Oracle Consistent (Update Date) is better as it will create littel over head on to your source system . SO if you have a DATE/TIMESTAMP column in the source tables(s) which gets inserted/update by the source application, then go for JKM Oracle Consistent (Update Date) .
Else look for JKM Oracle Consistent .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Which of of these two choices is the correct way to call a report ?

Environment is 9iAS.
Which of of these two choices is the correct way to call a report from the menu?
Choice 1) CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT('W02226.adinfra.net:8888,reports9i', 'rv043knd.rdf', CACHE, '', 'HTML',NULL );
Coice 2) qms$menu.set_current_action('LAUNCH_REPORT','rv043knd.rdf'); execute_trigger('QMS$MENU_ITEM');

although the menu-preference MNUDRC has the value qms$menu.set_current_action('LAUNCH_REPORT','<MODULE>'); execute_trigger('QMS$MENU_ITEM');
the generated code for calling the report in the menu is like the code under option 1).
What else do we need to set (in the preferences or elsewhere) to use the Headstart Report Launch Form ???
thanks! Bart

While travelling in the U.S.A I purchased an app store card for my IPOD which was bought in Canada. I am having trouble redeeming the card on my IPOD, it is coming up not valid. Are these two items compatible?

While travelling in the US I purchased and app store card for my IPOD touch which was bought in Canada. I am have trouble reddeming the card on my IPOD. Are these two items compatible?

Gift cards can only be used in the App/iTunes store in the country in which they were purchased. You can only purchase items from the store of the country you are physically located.

I need opinions. I currently on dilemma on buying iPod Touch 4 or Samsung Galaxy Tab. Comparing these two, which one is better? Why? Tq.

Well, I want to buy a new gadget for myself. But I currently don't know which one to choose yet. Both iPod Touch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab are great inventions! But i can't afford to buy both of them. So i'm asking all of you, any ideas or opinions on these two gadget? Which one is better and why? What do iPod 4 have that Samsung Tab don't have and vice versa. Thank you so much if you replying this.

I'm having the same issues you are having on my S3. I was on the phone with tech support (Verizon) last Friday for about an hour. I had to get a bit nasty with the tech when he attempted to blame Samsung for this (Samsung didn't release that update without Verizon's OK- and have you noticed Verizon has added their logo to the startup now?).
My data usage has gone up, battery draining much faster (and I have an extended battery!) and I had to re-load some of my widgets on the phone (including the My Verizon widget). The tech had me start the phone in Safe Mode (holding down the power, volume rocker and Home button at the same time until the Samsung logon screen shows then let go of the power button while continuing to hold the other two buttons until the phone logs on completely).
Whatever he did remotely seemed to make the phone act better yet he decided I need the update 'reflashed' to the phone. First he credited my account $30 to take care of any possible data overages. He then contacted my local Best Buy store to see if they could 'reflash' (upload the update again) the phone.
I went to Best Buy and had it done the next day. I think the phone was better before the 'reflash'! The tech gave me his personal Verizon cell number so I will be calling him back today.
An update for the update is coming yet the release date hasn't been confirmed. The tech said my account will be monitored for any overages in which I will received credits to cover it.
Good luck, Ginger- and I agree with you: if this doesn't get fixed I will move my business to T-Mobile!

Merge two books

I began to create two different books in iphoto and would now like to merge them into one without to much work. So far I have not found a way to copy paste the pages from one to the other book. Any ideas?

Actually Larry has a very good idea there. It can be done and the images of each page can be creatyed at a resolution of 300 dpi which is what iPhoto created the PDF file at for printing.
Here's how to get a book or any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. You will want to use the 300 dip option.

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g? what are the major changes in these two?

Hi Experts,
I am keen in knowing about Soa Suite 11g. SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g, BPEL changes? what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? it would be helpful for us to know what are the major changes and updates or modifications came in 11g.
Please share this valuable information.
Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?

what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Few major changes to enlist are that SOA suite 10g was using Oracle Application Server (OC4J) however 11g is on Weblogic and 11g is based on SCA. B2B is now part of SOA suite itself and OSB can share a domain with SOA. You may refer below link to know few more -
http://blogs.oracle.com/soabpm/2010/03/11gr1_patchset_2_111130_soa_fe.html
Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? OSB has a separate installer but can share a domain with SOA and SOA-direct binding is also supported now. Refer below link to know more about new features in OSB 11g -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/osb.htm#CJACHEHJ
Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?No major release is planned. Patches for 11g R1 may come.
