hopefully it has drivers. One of the reasons I cannot use it is because it is missing a bunch of drivers / has services installed that require passwords to stop
does it have a USB host port? if not, you'll need a USB OTG cable
this could quickly get expensive
USB OTG -> powered USB hub -> { keyboard, CD/DVD, HDD }
hackish, but it'll work
depends on how much of that you'll have to buy
@nhinkle the thought processes that we've been employing to narrow down the issue bit by bit, and then gather data as you've done on google docs, is useful for all sorts of different problem domains
Let me explain a little more. I have a not so bad connection (20mb/10mb) and my neighbourd has the same conenction from a different provider. He can log into a server withouth any lag but I get 1500 of ping... my network is empty. Router just been fully restored. Modem is reset.
the server is not far from my home but I still get an awfull ping. I play all types of game and my ping is always around 20-30... maybe 50 but never 1500
How to shoot yourself in the foot. A) Provide array of crasy DRM garbage that messes with every file. B) be evasive about why it is there and how C) have it act as much like a virus as possilble D) have everyone wanting to turn it off, or delete it E) now try to sell them your music and videos When they cant Watch them anymore. F) the grade you get for your insane protection scheme.

@MariusMatutiae can you please post your about:support in Firefox (click the "Copy text to clipboard" button) to gist.github.com or paste it straight into chat? thanks....
This is so frustrating I have no idea what I can do from here... also the ISP I use is a reseller of my friends ISP so it's pretty much the same server
Alternative to shooting yourself in the foot: A) Provide Player that plays DRM files, as its purpose in life. B) have the player itself have the proper de-coding methods and licencing (not the whole computer system) C) provide player for free D) charge for the media F) Tell people that is its purpose in life G) enjoy profits
@phadaphunk if the ping within Minecraft is sending a packet that is read and decoded by Minecraft's main packet-processing thread(s), and it's high, that could indicate that the server that's hosting the Minecraft is experiencing significant load, causing queues to fill up for processing commands, eventually leading to delay in processing packets.
@MariusMatutiae OK, but we are specifically troubleshooting a problem in Mozilla Firefox; it is well-known that Chrome/Chromium are not symptomatic. In order for you to provide us the info we need, please try Firefox or Iceweasel or similar.
it's unlikely, but not impossible, that your ISP might be traffic shaping you; meaning that it might detect the specific pattern or style or protocol of traffic and decide to give it very low priority
most ISPs already do this for the Bittorrent protocol, but I haven't heard of anything specifically against Minecraft.
@allquixotic Didnt know that was possible.. I can check that out by contacting them and ask why I get a slow connection when accessing this specific server ?
@OliverSalzburg Yes they do. Haven't tried since I got that issue yesterday night though. I would have to find a server to test because it's the only one I know that is up right now.
@OliverSalzburg Wow just got the results.. what do you want from that ? theres various info

I just got a new graphics card, AMD Radeon HD 7790, and I'm having trouble installing the driver. I uninstalled my all of my old graphics drivers and used Driver Sweeper. I then downloaded the appropriate driver from the AMD site and attempted to install it, but I ran into errors when the install...
@Yuki good troubleshooting steps taken so far -- given that information, I would say that, most probably, a clean install of Windows would not produce that error message
I'd love to be able to tell you how to fix your existing Windows, but a reinstall sounds very prudent if you can't figure it out
the "I'm totally not affected by this at all" behavior is: you open the tab, load the link, it loads within less than a second, and CPU/RAM usage remains more or less constant (it might increase by say 50-100 MB, and a very short-lived CPU spike, but nothing like 5-10 seconds)
if you don't have that exact pattern then you're impacted to some extent
@OliverSalzburg Once I had packet loss of 100% in one of starting hops which I measured with Pong Plotter but I was still able to send and receive data from server.
@nhinkle that's very interesting. perhaps the memory usage is exponential or something, relative to the number of "bad" directives (whichever directive that may be)
we might be able to engineer an artificially terrible image by copy and pasting the offending directives several times in an image, in order to "magnify" the problem and crash even more of the systems, to make it all the more obvious who's impacted
@Boris_yo think of a real-world example: you have a sports stadium with just one entrance gate, where they take your ticket and give you the ticket stub... only one person can enter at a time... but behind that first gate are a bunch of second gates, in a wide line, and the person who takes your ticket can take as much time as they specifically need... the fast guy just lets you right on through; the slow guy stares at your ticket, analyzes it, bites it, etc
the first gate is the hardware level -- the time it takes to get a packet - any packet - to the remote host; the second set of gates is the application layer; one application might have no queue and thus a very fast response time, while another application might have a delay
ICMP is a second-level gate where the guy barely even glances at your ticket; he just tears off the bottom half and gives it right back to you as fast as he can
Minecraft would be a second-level gate where the guy dips your ticket in paint and waits for the paint to dry before giving it back
@Boris_yo email recipients generally aren't able to see the IP address of the web mail sender... they can get the IP address of the SMTP server that sent the email, but that's about it
@allquixotic But software will be less demanding. I am talking MS Office, internet surfing, email checking and all office stuff. But video games is different story.
@allquixotic Strange, I am sure when I sent email to myself, I saw my IP. I will check this again with sending from yahoo mail to outlook mail.

would be interesting to see what happens with the even more pathological image i posted a while ago
it's basically a copy and paste of the worst offending lines from the original SVG, but with the values and ids slightly tweaked, to make the SVG renderer do it oh so slightly differently each time
so assuming it completes one iteration, it has 19 more to do
see the spikiness? whenever he's switched to the tab with the offending SVG, firefox continuously allocates and deallocates around a gigabyte of RAM, fluctuating up and down
@Bob no, most of our testing today was with FF 25.0.1 stable
at least that way once it successfully renders it once, it'll stop doing it over and over again, which would improve performance for particularly slow SVG draws
this one's in a category of its own, though, because very few SVGs are constructed with such a concise and potent markup that throws between 1 and 4 GB of junk on the heap
if the other people who were having the problem also test nightly or aurora and find it to be much better, Mozilla might end up just closing our bug as "fixed in master" and accept FF 24 / 25 as a casualty of war instead of patching it
well they'll pretty much have to fix FF 24, because it's ESR, but FF 25 can go to hell as far as they're concerned
> Bug 936136 - Sluggish scrolling when page has several hundred SVG elements
o.O
> We have been working on an internal proof-of-concept dashboard for Engineering. The page renders several hundred SVG elements on screen. The performance is satisfactory in release (25.0) but demonstrates sluggishness in Nightly (28).
the important thing to remember is that it's not SVG itself which is painfully slow on FF 25 (or any version), but the specific directives in these particular SVG files
> For me, the fix for bug 884787 makes a huge difference here. The patch for that bug landed in v23 though, and you've filed this against v24, Sam. Was that a mistake, or do you really not see perf that is close to that of Chrome in Nightly/24/23?
> Bug 875175 - Stop continuous reflow and invalidation of entire SVG when an element that is partially/wholly outside the viewport is subject to a transform animation
