Why would you need to "zero out" more than once?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have always wondered why a hard drive would need to be written over more than once for better security?
If it is writing ALL zeros what is there left to find? I just don't get it.
Thanks,
Curious Tom

Hello! A random write could leave a few bits that might be salvadged while the "zero all data" maps out bad blocks and writes all zeros. Once should be enough. Tom

Why would you need an H.264 hardware encoding device?

I am a casual user of Adobe Premiere Pro and just upgraded to CS5.5. I have been reading threads and someone said that he has problems with the Matrox encoder. I can import my video and make and DVD so why would you need another hardware solution?

I don't know how it works on Windows but on the Mac it shows up as a QuickTime component. So any application that can export a QuickTime movie (QuickTime Player, Adobe Media Encoder, Compressor, etc) can export to this component and it will utilize the Matrox hardware.
Theoretically you could set your preview file format in Premiere to the Matrox component but I don't know how well it would work.

Why does Lion need to be rebooted more than Snow Leopard?

After upgrading to Lion I have noticed that I need to reboot Lion more often than Snow Leopard. Is this just me or is this something others have seen?

I think this is just you. Nevertheless I would install the 10.7.1 update if you have not yet done so. This will improve the stability of Lion somewhat. But before you do that I would reinstall Lion. You may find this will improve things quite a bit especially if you upgraded from Snow Leopard. This will not erase the drive so you won't lose any of your files.
Reinstalling Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Can you run the Import Wizard more than once at the same time?

We're going to run the Import Wizard to import content from one BO environment to another. Can we, at the same time, run the Import Wizard to import different content between those two environments (using the same source and destination both times)? Obviously we'd have to run the wizard on different workstations.
Would this cause any issues? If so, what kind of issues would you expect?
Thanks,
Laura

Yes, this is possible. The source and destination CMSs treat the requests from the Import Wizard like any other -- increasing the number of active Import Wizard sessions just increases the load on these CMSs. Before running multiple Import Wizard sessions, be sure there is ample processing power (CPU / memory) to handle the increased load. and of course, avoid 'touching' the same content in the two sessions in order to avoid unpredictable results.

With icloud, why would you need an iphone larger than 16Gb

I am finally getting ready to get rid of my old broken down Droid. I am an apple user, but missed the iphone release with Verizon by about 1 month. Now that my contract is almost up, ready to switch over. My question is, if I have access to icloud on the phone, do I need any larger amount of memory that the 16Gb? Someone I work with was telling me that they sync photos and itunes with icloud and keep them off of their iphone to use up less memory? The only drawback I see there is you have to have wifi or data connection to access your stuff. Is there something else I'm missing? What's the benefit of going with the 32 vs 16 if I can store my data on icloud...besides what I mentioned.

movies
and the bigger adventure and fps and rpg games on ios take up a lot of space
I filled my 16G iphone up with apps alone
suppose if you record a lot with the camera it's the same deal

HT3702 Why is Apple trying to steal money from me? I already paid for my purchase when i bought my music, now its trying to charge me twice. Why do you need to steal 6 more dollars from me Apple?

I recently bought an EP, a song, and a Add-on for a game, all while I had over $30 on my credit card, but now apple is telling me that I did not pay for my stuff. Now I cannot download anything new, and I'm being punished for apple having a terrible payment method. The money was taken from my bank account so either they messed up or apple is trying to steal another $6.50 from me, which is not okay. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Contact the store directly. No one here can help you.

Why would you need to connect an AirPort Express to a printer to print wirelessly when you could just use AirPrint?

What is the point of connecting an AirPort Express to a printer when you could just use AirPrint from an iPhone?

All you guys are mistaking the Airprint system. Wireless printing is a Misnomer. Nothing prints wirelessly. Both the printer and the computer, or i or android device have to be all connected to the same LAN. They can be connected by a wire or a WiFi signal but they all must be on the same LAN.
Airprint is a Driverless printing system where No Specific Printer drivers have to be installed on the computer or other device. Even with the Airprint system both the printer and the device you are printing from have to be on the same LAN.

Will I need to pay subscription more than once?

Hello,
I am starting in basic web design and came across the Business Catalyst. My question was that if I am building sites for clients and want to include e-commerce, will my subscription allow me to implement features on their pages or will I need a new subscription for each site?
Thanks,
Frankie

Hi Frankie,
Each site will carry a separate subscription which generally you would charge the client of the cost plus whatever additional cost for your services. You can set the billing for each site to have BC invoice you or the client directly.
There's 1 partner account which you would own either free, standard or premium to help centralize all your clients sites. Based on the type of partner account you acquire will provide additional features (rebrand, commission, etc).
Hope this helps explain.

Can you download OSX Mountain Lion more than once on your computers after paying the $19.99

If I purchase mountain lion on my itunes/app store account, can I use that same account on my other mac to download mountain lion without paying another $19.99? I am currently waiting for my email for a free copy but If i can do multiple downlaods without paying extra, I would rather purchase it so I can download mountain lion on my ineligible computer and my newer one too

yes, you can install ML on all the macs you own as long as you use the same Mac App Store ID singing into each of them.

Why would aperture load more than once?

I understand that when I first load my RAW photos into Aperture it needs to generate a preview and so that's why it slows down and shows me "loading...". If I want to bypass this I can use quick preview mode. That's how I understood it so far. But I don't understand why it would need to load again at a later time? If I browse elsewhere and come back to this project, it'll start loading again. Does Aperture for some reason deletes the preview?

1) How do I force aperture to generate preview for everything, and not one by one. I'd rather go away and let the computer do its thing for a while than get disturbed every time I hop to the next photo.
You can select all images in the Browser and use the command "Photos > Update/Generate Previews" (Update will turn into "Generate", if hold down the ⌥ alt/options key). This way you can generate the previews over night.
2) Also this still doesn't explain why it needs to be done more than once? Why would it generate the preview again if I haven't changed any adjustments etc?
It will only keep and store the preview permanently, if you have enabled the sharing of previews in the "Preferences > Preview" tab. If you do not enable this, Aperture will not store the previews, to save space.

Weblogic.management.server bound more than once?

hi Good day,
i want to use a filed on the screen more than once.
ex : T7EHS00_EXA_PHY-UNIT

ghi                 unit of meas.
jkl                  unit of meas.
but SAP Does not accept the same field more than once.
in this case what can i do?
thank you,
J.
