@Bob or someone's playing with you and making and deleting the dir in the right sequence

at just the right time

Bob

@allquixotic eh, this is the only app that should be accessing that server

and it doesn't delete dirs

so... yea, would fall under the category of "something's terribly wrong"

still, I do check for it (and throw the exception accordingly), so... not really an issue anyway

(and that's why the comment is there)

A: Can't understand loops :(

This question has been asked and answered a number of times already, I would suggest you take a look here for an explanation (taken from Stack Overflow, which is the programming sub-site in the Stack Exchange family)

Now I'm sad :|

The internet is such a harsh place.

Any tips on what I should've done instead?

Bob

12:20 AM

@Kristian General advice A: don't answer with only a link.

General advice B: don't answer questions that are clearly bad.

Kristian

Noted and noted.

also, thanks!

Bob

We're here to help people, yes. At the same time, we do expect some level of effort, if not in research then at least making it clear what a question is about. Otherwise it becomes too much work (or guesswork).

Kristian

On a more positive note, I just posted my first answer on StackOverflow. I think I've found a new hobby :p

Is this a badish score ?

cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-4210U+%40+1.70GHz

Kristian

I would say it's a badish score for an i5, but a goodish score for a 1.7GHz CPU

this is a comparison with my laptops i5-M520, which is a 2.4GHz CPU

cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2259&cmp[]=778

so by comparison, yours is a lot faster

although clocked a lot lower

Journeyman Geek

I'd guess its a ULV chip, so its probably optimised for low power use

(also, probably perfectly fine)

also, what the hell is an 'until' loop?

I know there's if/else and do while loops

ahh

Desktop i5s have larger scores o0 cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-4690+%40+3.50GHz

@JourneymanGeek yep it's those new ULVs

Kristian

it's the "1 / while" loop :P

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: comparing desktop and laptop processors isn't entirely fair.

Or laptop and ULVs for that matter

Kristian

instead of "do something while statement is true" it's "do something until statement is true"

@HackToHell must take into account that passmark and many of the benches are multithreaded, and much of the programs are limited multithreading. like standard desktop web and word and paint type stuff and some games might only make Full use of ~2 cores. encoding, high end games, benchmarks , might make use of all possible cores. So when seeing numbers when the core ammount is different , might not reflect how you use it. Depending on How you use it.

Psycogeek

For me and a laptop i might prefer to stay higher in clock numbers with less cores. because i would need more general speed, from minor operations (less threading) for a desktop i want one 20G speed core :-) but that isnt presentaly possible, so gimme more cores and more again. Most of what i am waiting long time for is multithreaded, so while speed is the need and One fast ass processor would do.

Including of course that a laptop with extreeme speed 4 cores and (not very usefull) hyperthreading too, would cost to much.

EX: if i was to choose say a 4core X 2.8g or a 2core X 3.2gig + the pricing on such things. If the stuff i was doing (or waiting to long for) will Pin to 100% every core, then i would probably need more cores.

If instead i need speed for normal operations, and games that play well on a laptop, and other programming that did not really get or use heavy multithreading, i would want the clock speed most, and the 2.8g would not be as exciting.

My little 59$ test chip (desktop) with only 2 cores and no hyperthreading, was pretty speedy, but almost every benchmark made with it said it was Dirtbag :-) because the benchmark will use constantally every core you throw at it, and also kick up another 5-8% when there is hyperthreading. Multithreaded encoding was also at dirtbag 1/2 speed. but none of the other programs acted slower that are not cpu hogs.

I just dont think i would be playing battlefield 4 on a laptop (one that seems it would load ~3 cores) There are another ton of games that would be perfect for when on the smaller platforms. I also dont think i would be doing 4hour encodings.

it has a light breeze across it, a fair sized passive heatsink for the tiny chip that it teeters on top of, and it is 65*C

I pulled the LSI back out, to test things (loosly) it only draws about 10-15W just exisiting , checked the GPU speed (because it uses them lanes) and cpu speeds with benchies, and there is no negative effect on the other things, so it must be in its own internal world of infinte loops :-) thats ok.

9:28 AM

I got pictures, if it matters.

it is Model 25461 called 12Gb/s SATA+SAS controller

Then (things i was wondering about) how they adapt to the sata.

this is a shorter wiring set, aparentaly SAS uses a hotter signal and higher termination, so it can do longer cables (although as we know you can do that with pata or sata too, it just was not standard)

And this is called a Mini SAS, not many pictures showed well what it was made up of.

There are 2 here (8port type card) one left and one right

This is the sas mini wire. I will have to say it is stepping backwards again with connection, as it has a whole lot of stuff connecting, with really thin connection, and the connector is a bit sloppy

If this was in very tight spaces, and trying to bend things around with the mega pile of wires comming out, it just isnt robust. Other wires had even more stiffness for 2" at the connection point , so bending around corners not so easy.

End view, so you can tell better it is 2 rows of connections on a single mini sas

12:01 PM

wish i did not know that, The LSI company profile shows that it is "sandforce" technology that is running my raid card (or cooking it). The specs themselves say it pulls 13Watts normal and 19W max. so that corelates with what i am getting. then they want "Airflow must be at least 75 linear feet per minute" oh thanks, now i just find a fan that is not listed by Cubic feet of air.

hmm a bit of math and i could figure about how many MPH the air should travel, i can get a weather station in there and see.

and of course "Temperature range: 0 °C to +55 °" which is perfect that they tell that After the install guide tells you to stuff it in and turn on the computer. and that it is pushing 65* in a case that all other temps are (now) below 40*c

50cent heat sink, no fan, no fan attachment, i am so happy you saved $2 on the $350 card.

allquixotic

hehe my Adaptec 6405E specifies cooling in linear feet per minute and has a very tight temperature range too

but I didn't adjust my cooling to accommodate it

in fact a Radeon R9 280X dumps its waste air out onto the heatsink of the RAID card, and it works fine :P

Psycogeek

@allquixotic i have the reverse, the heat from the raid card, sweeping up right into the 2 intake fans on the gpu.

but i doubt the 13watts is going to bother it.

In the slot i have it in now, it will get hit by a side fan, but the side fan is a big 120mm type running about 1100rpm normally and the air from it does the usual spiining out around the edges (vrses shooting the air straight in).

the most airflow is where the fan blades are moving fastest.

how neet, the computers case, has temperature probe. I stuffed it into the heatsink and it says 71 :-O Very useful clue. Put the side of the case back on, creating the Hall of air flow (and side fan) and it is back down to 65*

Ahh as usual even small ammounts of movment of air on the passive sink (think zalman) makes a world of differance.

down to 50* Yay , just dont take the side off for troubleshooting.

9) get convinced by the company that having a CD with a big SETUP button was not a good thing

10) read just how many BUGS have been fixed, continue war with hardware

11) read guide on web (from user doing same thing) that says it doesnt work that way anyways.

Q: What is Embedded Lockdown Manager

Embedded Lockdown Manager. I've just installed an ssd 240 GB drive to my system running win 8.1 and everything is fine but I've just noticed Embedded Lockdown Manager in my programs.

see the comments to my answer.

tombull89

granted, I've only had a casual glance at lockdown manager, but it's on our 8.1 Enterprise machines. I think it's more suited to thin clients and digital signage as it can be made to discard any changes, disable key combinations, etc.

You could also use it to stop USB device useage

well, allow things like keyboard/mice but dissalow removeable storage.

Psycogeek

@allquixotic what is the model of your raid card? I was looking at the adaptec ones but they did not have great reviews.

allquixotic

@Psycogeek 6405E

I recommend the 8405E if you're looking to buy a new one. I'm planning to get that eventually (once I have money).

only the 7 and 8 series have proper support for UEFI and the new system standby/suspend stuff

and 4k native sectors, too

people on ServerFault say that Adaptec sucks, but I really like mine, at least for a workstation / home build

the "E" means "cheap" (best for home users), and the first number is the "generation" -- I would recommend "6"th generation for BIOS based (non-UEFI) systems, and "7" or "8"th generation for UEFI based systems (Sandy Bridge or newer CPU).

and since there is no real reason not to buy the 8405E now that it's out, your choices are pretty much either the 6405E or the 8405E.

the 6405E will be on clearance prices on some sites. the 8405E is brand new and will probably sell at MSRP.

also, do yourself a favor and don't install their MaxRAID application. it's ridiculously slow and slows down your whole system. when you are doing software and drivers, just download their drivers for your OS, then update the BIOS using the command line client arcconf

arcconf is extremely fast, reliable and featureful, and can do everything you need, without slowing down your system like MaxRAID does.

their device drivers are fine too, just make sure you don't let it install the GUI

how do you create a god mode shortcut in windows 8?

"The shortcut is implemented by creating a folder with the extension, '.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}' (without quotes)."

Windows Master Control Panel shortcut

The Windows Master Control Panel shortcut, labeled All Tasks and also called Windows God Mode by bloggers and All Tasks folder by at least one Microsoft developer, is a short-cut to access various control settings in Windows Vista and later operating systems. By creating a folder with a certain name, users have access to all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder. The hack was published outside of Microsoft documentation in 2007 and gained popularity when the name God Mode was used by bloggers. Variations of the same method can access different settings, and have also...

Creating a folder named ".{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" gives off an error.

Ok now organise it :-) like getting rid of the 176 things you never need, and the ones you only need one time ever.

@Psycogeek that's my pet peeve with most UIs that aren't nearly customizable enough

things I need constantly are buried, and things I rarely need stick out

sammyg

@Psycogeek LOL! Yeah, it's like you walk by a mirror... and then... you walk backwards to it, and you look at it, not believing it's you. You wave your left hand, and "it" waves "its" left hand. But no my boss is not around much, and even when I do the Win+M "boss maneuver" he doesn't say even "HAH!! I knew it"!

Psycogeek

then sort it into logical groupings like any OCD would, Disk ,Desk , audio, Visual, Diagnostic , security and tweaking.

it'd be like putting the steering wheel of a car underneath the passenger seat, and the parking brake hanging down from the ceiling in the driver's face

Psycogeek

lol

Anyone tried One Suite? resellerratings.com/store/OneSuite

Hennes

Wow. lots of extreme reviews.

What the hell is "One Suite"?

It appears to be a telecom company.

I thought it was an office app suite! :P

From Korea or something...

I signed up for Office 365 recently. It works for me. I got a sweet 1 TB cloud storage deal too.

That's 5 TB total, for 5 users.

Oliver Salzburg

@sammyg We use it at work as well

Hennes

Can you encrypt the information in that 1TB storage?

And if you can, how do you share the key so that it can only be decrypted locally?

That Brazilian Guy

@allquixotic AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I found some spam on SU --> superuser.com/search?q=url%3Aidealshare

Oliver Salzburg

@jokerdino Thanks

jokerdino

Thanks for deleting them.

allquixotic

@Hennes copy text of Word document, paste into GPG, paste the ciphertext back into Word? ;-)

Hennes

No, more transparent. Put an 'encrypt with $key' in the 'save to cloud' function.

And a decrypt if read from cloud

With the key itself only stored locally

allquixotic

@Hennes But Hans! The Federal Bureau of Investigation says that encryption is bad and anti-American!

Americans should be proud to show off their private family photos to the Big Brother!

Hennes

7:32 PM

So. only forbid encryption to the Americans.

allquixotic

@Hennes According to 2014 Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics, we're all Americans, Hans. Even you.

Hennes

Actually, that hits closer home than I wanted.
I wanted a joke, but I am thinking of PGP and friends.

@OliverSalzburg I found a bug in your chat reply helper addon. It seems to have trouble when the usernames involved are too big:

Oliver Salzburg

@terdon Yeah, I don't know why that happens sometimes. "terdon" isn't that long

Oh, wait. Yeah, that's weird

terdon

@OliverSalzburg It wasn't mine, I'd posted the wrong image. Anyway, not a big deal, it does work if I move the mouse about a millimeter to the right.

Oliver Salzburg

7:39 PM

@terdon Yeah, there are also problems that happen at certain window widths. It could use a proper review some day, but it still works "well enough" that I'm not going into it :P

terdon

@OliverSalzburg That it does. This is absolutely not a deal breaker and I really don't know how I used to live without that little addon. It's great!

I just thought I'd let you know since I saw you were around.

> // Calculate the correct position for the bubble.
var left = event.pageX;
var top = event.pageY -( messageHeight + 60 );
replyHelper.quotedMessage.attr( "style", "position:absolute;left:" + left + "px;top:" + top + "px;z-index:1" );
});

$( document ).on( "mouseenter", ".reply-info", function(event) {
var quotedMessage = null;

This is what I have in my version of Oliver's great script, and for me the bubble is displayed a little higher, and I don't experience the quirk Terdon is seeing. I changed it once.

Oliver Salzburg

@terdon Yeah, thanks. If you want you can also post an issue on GitHub, then I don't forget to look into it once the review day comes ;D

terdon

@Cerberus thanks, I'll try that.

@OliverSalzburg Sure.

Cerberus

@terdon Hmmm however...

If I make the window a lot narrower, I get this:
