Very

Then I recommend /dev/random. It collects background electrical noise from the drivers in your operating system, so it's actual random data.

Very nice if you have to generate a random password or wipe your disk or something like that.

Passing time until I leave to go to the Galway United match.

the "CPU Usage" on my laptop has been running in the 30th percentile for a while now, is there anything I can do to reduce this?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

See which program is hogging memory, and try closing that. Or close all unused system tray icons, it may help.

Which ones can I safely stop?

 

[Martin]

Which ones can I safely stop?

Sort by CPU instead of memory.

 

[Zé Tahir]

Sort by CPU instead of memory.

Alrighty.

30 isn't all that high. This alarms you?

Well it used to run at less than 5% so yeah

 

[Martin]

Nothing offensive there. You probably just have spikes in CPU, I'd bet on firefox. I wouldn't worry about it.

Glad to hear you're a Valued Customer

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Alrighty.

System Idle Process

ok, try ending some addons for Firefox. FF is using TOO much mem.

Aight, cool. Thanks


Oh, something that's been bothering me for a while. If I am watching a video on youtube for instance and then surf away from that page the audio from the video continues to play and the only way to stop it is to hit the 'close window' button. That shit is sooooooo annoying. Why does that happen?

That happens me sometimes as well. I don't know why.

Maybe Flash plugin is fucked up. reinstall it.

That would be your Epic Piece Of Trash Adobe Flash Player. You don't even wanna know how much worse it works on linux, I often jump to 100% cpu when watching a video on youtube ffs.

Basically when you close the window, I guess the flash plugin is officially disconnected, so if it has managed to crash somehow then you close the tab and it's forced to die.

Ah ok. Well the funny thing is that I don't need to close it. I just hit the button and I get that window asking me something like "are you sure bla bla" and the audio stops so I just hit cancel.

What is that?

Good enough

What is that?

It represents the portion of your CPU power that's not in use.

 

[Zé Tahir]

So...it's the CPU power available?
