Ahh that is interesting, looks like they have a solution now to the CPU staying half asleep when doing massive storage (files and copying) operations. Before the cpu would not kick-up in speed when doing even hard disk stuff, "Dynamic Storage Acceleration"
Must be enabled in UEFI . from intel "Dynamic Storage Accelerator Performance is dependent upon several factors including workload, storage configuration, operating system (OS), and CPU C-state transition efficiency. Testing has found that Dynamic Storage Accelerator performance mode, 2 SSD RAID 0 provides up to a 15-percent performance gain"
I figure in my tests it is about 10% average with raid and ssd, WHEN the cpu would stay asleep vrses locking the cpu high manually, to "accelerate" file copy.
I switched it on, and was wondering why my CPU was stepping up higher when there was not a lot of work for it to do, I figure it was stepping up because of various programs I/O.
At intel it is listed as a part of the intel Rapid Storage Technology, or generally thier chipsets used for disk controllers.

@Bob well, important for whom? if you secretly broke SHA2 and were able to exploit it for massive payouts to yourself to get rich, convert it to cash and get gone before anyone comes after you, that would be pretty important for you -- but then, if anyone else reproduces your work or if you distribute your work on breaking it, stuff like hashes of downloads, git, and maybe some aspects of TLS start to get broken
@Bob only if people knew about the breakage... If someone breaks it, steals BTC, but never tells anyone he broke it or provides evidence that he did, it's just a bank heist :p
@Bob works for me, if there was a standard that is the one they should use, not only for comptuers, but i have my whole tape Library sorted using that method. on a digital clock where is the smallest incrament (seconds) on the right. with a Scale for weight, with a countdown timer, with frequency on the radio. (we can reverse it for the middle east :-)
In the tape library it is known as the Psycogeek Decimal System (well my actual name)
@Psycogeek Yea, I normally use dd/mm/yyyy day-to-day because familiarity, but I try to use yyyy-mm-dd whenever I create files (sortable), write programs, etc..
I'm biased, but of all the date formats in common use I'd say mm/dd/yyyy makes the least sense -_-
I suppose when you're speaking, mm/dd makes some sense
I feel though there will be some minor resistance. So the solution is to get 2.8 billion doller grants from each governemt and start the campaign for re-training :-)

Cripes i already had to activate this thing yesterday , half the freak asleep from speanding the day in the licence game, Today it kiks up a Genuine :-pppppphht
Takes the first 10 minutes to allow it through the firewall, which (of course) it deems failure to call home again.
All because i Borked the motherboard and replaced it, But what occurs ALSO is when installing drivers and switching the bios elements the Hash breaks 2-3 more times as is thinks it sees different hardware. Like the 4 HDs instead of raid Array, and the onboard video vrses the GPU card, and the 2 Different lans.
correction the Product ID does not match the product key, or any info provided on the package recieved. that is why i dont know which licecne belongs on which computer. And the other computer DOES have the same ID, as it has for like 3+ years past updates multiple activations etc.
it could be one of these services are off, like MsBkdrNSa.svc or something :-)
I found another product key, but it says pocketpc 2003 premium W/ outlook 2002 WTF looks like thier key and is a sticker for the back of a puter. I think this was the original win7 no sp
ahh here we go the activation diagnostic tool shows parts of the product KEY that is there.
it also shows my browser is securely locked down :-) and couldnt talk out if it wanted to.

i got Dongle ware too, and it is almost worse, 6 driver/service items to service the dongle.
With software is is like having to call the dealer to turn on the freaking radio in your car, then call them again to adjust the seats, then have to have a key to replace the floor mats, then have to type in 128 digit pile of garbage to get the spare tire out. then have to go to a certified dealer to change the oil.
To top it off when you get rid of it, it is like some drunk puked in your back seat :-)
This is somewhat related to this question
For some time now, my system sporadically
hangs with the sound card playing the previous sample in a loop and sometimes a flickering screen.

@JourneymanGeek oddly enough, this weekend I had to reboot my desktop due to a similar issue, but what actually happened is that, despite closing as many programs as I could, and looking at the memory and I/O stats, I couldn't find any reason to account for why about 29 out of my 32 GB of RAM were allocated
they weren't allocated to SYSTEM, nor to any userspace process that was alive/visible
but the night before I ran Distant Worlds: Universe for a long time, and I wonder if that caused a memory leak in AMD Catalyst that isn't observable by the OS, it just thinks the memory is unavailable
@Thomas your question got downvoted because you don't mention the distinction between "working fine" and "can't get access to the site" -- you need to tell us exactly what you see, in which web browser, the EXACT error... it matters
actually it'd probably help if you would dig in a little deeper and use something like Wireshark or Fiddler to see what's going on at the network layer
the Linux box you have access to might not be filtered, if IT only bothered to install the filter (or the proxy, or the transparent stateful firewall, or whatever) on your Windows boxes
@Bob from my point of view, using wireshark is easier -- I mean, I know how to use it, so going straight to it is usually more informative :P I forget that some people don't know those tools
It looks like I just get a connection timed out. The strange thing is that when I ping the website (from he command prompt in Windows) I get a fine response...
if it's getting silently timed out, it could be that you have a stateful firewall that is simply ignoring your outbound packets to that domain, rather than tell you something useful like "we don't trust that site, so we're blocking it"
"tried Tor browser and it didn't work" suggests to me either that (A) Tor is blocked on your network; or (B) the site itself has an (intermittent?) problem
@Thomas well, the site could have a routing problem -- you probably don't know whether that Linux box and your other work PC are on the same network, do you? :P
check browser proxy settings in both, and the default gateway
see if they're the same
also probably worth comparing the public IPs of the two boxen at whatismyip.com
personally, in your shoes, I would forget the work network entirely, and spin up a VPS or cheap/small dedi (if you don't already have one out there) and drop stunnel and/or ssh on it (you'll need both if your network drops ssh, or just openssh if your network allows it outbound) and use it as a SOCKS5 proxy
(I did try getip.com on the aescrypt.com and I get:
IP Address: 174.129.216.74 Node Hostname: aescrypt.com Numeric Address: 2927745098 Country: United States (US) State or Province: Virginia (VA) City: Ashburn Zip / Postal Code: Unknown Latitude: 39.0437 Longitude: -77.4875 ISP: Amazon.com
@Bob what do you mean "good lord"? IBM (heavily!) funds the development of Eclipse and the Eclipse community exactly because the Rich Client Platform (RCP) is a pretty good framework for writing modular GUI-driven apps
@Thomas okay, so it runs on EC2
the only thing that Eclipse needs is lots of RAM... or, you know, a 16GB page file on a top-end SSD, in my case, lol
@Bob ok, well, I have an uptime of somewhere around 180 hours (estimate) of this Lotus Notes app and it's using 94 MB of RAM, after sending and reading dozens of emails in its built-in HTML renderer
@Thomas don't worry about TCP retransmissions
I mean, they can indicate a potential problem, but they're pretty normal
what you should be looking for is packets originating from the remote server, aeswhatever.com (and destinated to your box)
if you see nothing in that pairing of (source = aescrypt.com, dest = you), then something is borked
@Bob sounds like a bug in that specific component then, which is not a reason to hate Eclipse universally
that's like saying, the window in that car nearly caught my fingers in it when I tried to roll it up, so all <car manufacturer> <car model> vehicles are universally terrible!
"number and size of js & icon files" has absolutely nothing to do with the core Eclipse Rich Client Platform -- that's definitely EE-specific functionality
the RCP isn't even a programming IDE; it's just SWT and some packaging/wrapping/module specification type logic (OSGi, etc)
@Thomas like I said, and like I suspected from the beginning, it's most likely your firewall silently dropping the packets
if you'd check the bloody default gateway and public IP between the two computers you have access to at work (the Linux one, and the one that doesn't work, whatever it runs), and compare them, you'd probably find that they are different
which is reason enough to at least suspect that you are being filtered while the Linux box isn't
@allquixotic As far as I'm concerned, if it's a standard configuration and requires extensive tuning to operate correctly, that's a good enough reason to hate it.
@Bob perhaps so -- but I run three separate RCP applications by two independent companies (one IBM, one... a different one ;p) and the only complaint I have is that my systems have too little RAM installed, so when I maximize them after a long time of having them iconified, I get to wait for the disk/SSD to load them back up
but 4 GB and 2 GB RAM is too little, even if I were running apps written in pure C
no mem leaks or stability problems, though, and they perform well enough once they're loaded out of the page file
oh, worth mentioning that each of these RCP apps is running on the latest "u" (update) version of Java 7, 32-bit
> I am on a Windows machine, specifically Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition x64, 4Gb of RAM, 3Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, etc. I am using the x64 JDK. I use the NOD32 Antivirus since for me it is the best in machine performance.
I mean, hell, my technology at work is old -- pathetically old -- and the oldest thing I have is a 2 GB system with a Nehalem-shrink (I always forget the name) laptop chip. and the newer one is Sandy Bridge!
heh, I dunno, 1980 might be a decent analogy, assuming the car had been in service since then..
A while after I upgraded to Photoshop CC, Photoshop randomly freezes my whole computer (5-year old iMac, 6GB RAM). I can still move the mouse but that's about it. In activity monitor, it says 5.99GB of my 6.00GB RAM is used, ±2,5GB of which seems to be used by Photoshop. Then there's kernel_task using about 1GB, but the rest of programs all use <25MB of memory. Any ideas why so much memory is being used, and whether this can cause my mac to freeze completely?
@Lokkij just a random guess, but it could be that Photoshop's now extremely heavy use of the GPU is causing bugs to be exposed in your graphics driver for your old (5 year old) graphics card
remember, as Photoshop has been getting more advanced, they are starting to use your GPU for all sorts of stuff, but mapping general purpose programming (GPGPU) onto old GPUs is actually quite hard, and creates a rather strange problem for graphics driver devs
if your graphics driver hasn't received an update from Apple in years, then it's no wonder it's not up to snuff
@Lokkij welcome to real life (well, more accurately, the proprietary software world), where system requirements steadily increase over time, and vendors just stop supporting old hardware beacuse they can't be arsed
I wonder how slow it would be in software mode, though? would it fall back to the algorithms that worked okayish in the older versions of photoshop, or would it try to run e.g. OpenCL on the CPU?
heh, one of my work systems has an Nvidia card of the same generation as @Lokkij's (but it's NVS instead of GeForce; same diff), and even after applying the Windows 7 Platform Update and updating to the latest ODE driver, Word documents with translucent layers (watermarks, etc) still horribly corrupt the rendering when scrolling :|
historically, Macs have had terrible GPU driver support on the whole -- the implementation is basically there, but it's generally not very well optimized, and buggy
the funny thing is, for Macs, the code paths that Quartz uses for its compositing and basic web surfing are extremely well-tested and optimized, but once you go outside that, it's like landmines everywhere :D
there are relatively fewer landmines on Windows and Linux for the proprietary drivers, where the use cases are so broad that they've been requested by various customers to make the driver work in almost every conceivable code path
@Bob Jesus Christ.. another Shellshock-related fix! This reminds me of the people who do little bitty SQL Injection fixes but then the clever attacker almost instantly finds another hole..
@allquixotic Already fixed in Debian as of last Thursday.

Apparently, the shellshock Bash exploit CVE-2014-6271 can be exploited over the network via SSH. I can imagine how the exploit would work via Apache/CGI, but I cannot imagine how that would work over SSH?
Can somebody please provide an example how SSH would be exploited, and what harm could be d...
I installed the first bash CVE patch rolled out by CentOS on the new Cavil VM the other day, and updated bash on my Hetzner servers, and I'm pretty sure I don't run any CGI scripts
too bad we didn't all listen to Ubuntu and just run Dash -_-
@Bob pretty sure that one of the things I habitually do when setting up a Debian server is replace the /bin/sh symlink with /bin/bash because so many scripts expect bash-specific features
@Mokubai /me pulls out a lethal weapon, then slowly and warily puts it away upon seeing </sarcasm>
I think the actual reason they use dash is that it's faster than bash, particularly on boot, when you don't have time for a heavy interpreter for your boot scripts
back in the Core2 era on 5400rpm HDDs and DDR2, there was measurable latency difference between the performance of a lightweight interpreter like dash and a heavy one like bash
oh man, I just got a hilarious name for an LLVM-based, JIT-optimized POSIX Bourne shell implementation
