Excessively High Broadband Use

So last month I got a new laptop and did a lot of cloud syncing and downloading so I expected my usage to be high - but I was suprised when it hit the 65Gb mark! But hey - I was busy up to around 20 Jan.
So I thought this month it would drop back to normal (about 600 Mb daily average use) but in 3 days of Feb I have used nearly 4.5 Gb and not been doing anything heavy apart from a 1Gb Microsoft update.
I suspect that either the monitor is wrong on BT website, or something is eating my broadband during the day (only 1 laptop on during each day just checking hotmail account, and 1 additional laptop most evenings checking gmail.)
Anyone else had this issue? Any help from you BT. I have turned off FON in case there was an intruder and their use was adding to mine.
Cheers

A new laptop with Windows 8.1, will have many GB of Windows updates to do, plus all of the built in apps which also use bandwidth.
Remember that uploads and downloads are added together, so Cloud activity will result in large uploads.

[Solved] Excessive high load average

My laptop seems to have an very excessive high load average. My system gets very slow even when I'm running openbox with a browser, terminal and music player. That is enough to make applications freeze for a few seconds. I've seen the load average goes higher 5.00. Right now I just logged in openbox using lxdm, open a browser and a terminal and my load average is 23:11:21 up 12 min, 2 users, load average: 1.15, 0.92, 0.58.

As yon can see the process 1367 is using 100% of the cpu. I have no idea why this is happening. Also my laptop isn't old. It has intel i5 processor with 4gm ram.
Anybody has an idea of what is happening?
EDIT: I just checked my load average again
[jesse@myarch ~]$ uptime
23:23:46 up 24 min, 3 users, load average: 4.42, 2.19, 1.25
That is an absurd value, isn't is? Ah, and my system is up to date, if anyone asks.

well it looks like back in december there were some bugs reported with libglib2.0-0 2.31.2 that where causing this issue you can try updating to make sure you have the most current version.
pacman -S glib2

High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser

High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser.
I have a total of 3 DDR2 Gbytes of ram. Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz Win 7 home pr. 64bit. Firefox 27.0 beta
I right click on a file to "open containing folder" from the drop down menu in downloads.
When the folder has been opened, explorer is trying to index the folder (which it never does completely or well after 5 minutes I close the folder and shut down the dllhost process cause laptop is blazing hot) and memory keeps increasing till no more is available.
I checked task manager and see that dllhost is the particular process that is causing the spike in memory usage even after closing the folder I right click and stop the process and memory is restored after awhile.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

In an AppleScript, can compression level high be used when saving an image as a JPEG?

When using AppleScript to save a copy of an image file as a JPEG on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, can "compression level high" be used in the code, or can only "compression" be used?
The part of the AppleScript dictionary for Image Events indicates that "compression level high", "compression level low", and "compression level medium" can be used, but when I type any of those three in the code and try to save the AppleScript file, the below error is displayed, and the word "level" is highlighted in the AppleScript Editor:
Syntax Error
Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier.
-John

you need to open the image in image events before you can save it as a different format. you have to make a distinction between the image file (a file system object) and the image itself (the data that is the digital representation of the visual image). what you want to do is open the image file in image events to extract the image data, then resave the image data in the new format. looks something like this (changing just the last bit of your script):
set theImage to choose file with prompt "Please select an image file:" of type "public.image"
-- other stuff...
tell application "Image Events"
set theImageData to open theImage
save theImageData in newPathToSave as JPEG with compression level high with icon
end tell

I am just starting out trying to install ARCH with ONLY an e156 USB 3G modem.... Sorry I can't suggest anything. And, I am asking if you could help me by posting you code for ppp.
I wish to connect with JUST ppp/pppd as it is all I will have in a base install. Not with wvdial. just ppp
can you let me know exactly what you did with the e156 to get running on ARCH with ppp?

High processor use and blank messages in Yosemite mail

Hello
I am noticing very high processor use from Yosemite Mail, and I am also having problems with blank messages.
Under Mavericks, I had a problem where I double click on a mail message to open it. The message would flash on the screen for a moment and then disappear. The message in my inbox would be marked as read. I could then open it again and read it normally. Over time, I tracked this down as having to do with Mail doing anything else when I requested to open the email. For instance, if I delete a message and then immediately try to open the next message, the problem would occur. If I waited 5 seconds or so, then opened the next message, the problem would not occur.
Now, under Yosemite, I find that if I open a message quickly after performing another task, the message window is blank and never fills in. I can close that message window and open it again, it may work, or it may still be blank. I have found where certain messages appear to be stuck and will open blank until I open a different message and then come back to the problem message.
I have also noticed that Mail under Yosemite appears to use very high percentages of processor time. Checking the activity monitor, Mail is third behind WindowServer and kernel_task for processor usage. And I have another question on the community about my system running hot with the fan spooling up and down constantly under Yosemite, something that almost never happened under any of the previous OS's going back to Snow Leopard.
Any idea what is going on with the Mail app in Yosemite? I was excited about Mail finally advancing in capability, but it seems to have come at a cost..... Come on Apple - Mail needs to catch up with Outlook!

I also have this problem since Yosemite upgrade. Infuriating because I can't just read incoming emails anymore. It seems to be specific to one email account and doesn't necessarily cause a problem with others. When this happens, (showing the content for a second then disappearing), there is a segmentation fault reported in the error log.
For me, this is a category one critical business problem. If I can't read and reply to incoming email reliably on my computer, I will need to switch to another system or device that can.
24/10/2014 14:51:34.839 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent) The _DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit key is not available on this platform.
24/10/2014 14:51:36.262 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.A9C826DA-A925-4168-ADFD-46A9B4012097[6900]) Service exited due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11
Good news is that the email app does seem to work a bit quicker than before using Mavericks where it could hang for 10-20 seconds for no particular reason.
Hope this can be fixed or a workaround posted soon.

INSTALLATION ON HIGH AVAILABILITY USING WEBLOGIC SERVER

Hi All ,
IHAC where i am planning to propose the following architecture and I did not find much information on the OTN documentation
How to configure the BI Publisher for High Availability using Oracle Weblogic Server. I have gone thorugh the following document on OTN.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/BIP_HA.pdf
1) Can the BI Publisher be installed on a weblogic cluster having two nodes. I did not find any specific information on this in the BI publisher documents other than the link I mentioned above. Do we have any Enterprise Deployment guide for standalone BI Publisher ?
2) What is the best practice to implement the High Availability of BI Publisher on weblogic server.
Other info,
As mentioned in the above link I am planning to use the BIPublisher ultra scalable architecture.
Where the Load Balancer is HW load balancer and Internal load balancer is managed using the Apache configuration and Oracle XMLDB11.1.0.7 is used as the shared repository.
regards,
Pierre .

Hi
You have to have a shared drive for CI,SCS abd DB on the shared drive something like SAN.
You will have HACMP the IBM Cluster SW shall be configured and installed properly.
You may need support from the AIX engineer to configure it.
DB and CI installation will be done by Basis normally.
Yes ,there is arequirement to install and db and OS Filesystems on shared drive.
For further information ,you can look for inst guide at service.sap.com/instguides
Hope it helps.

Very high broadband usage

The first month we got BT broadband was option 1 the 10GB package, I left my house for 2 weeks and the monitor was at around 6/7GB and with no one in the house and no one with access to it i came back to find it was now at 12GB, thought this was a bit odd...
Last month we upgraded to option 2 the 40GB package. Ended up watching lots of videos and things and by the end of the month it was at 45GB.
This month, it's 7 days in and the usage monitor is showing 12.87GB used, I haven't been doing anything other than browsing, no games, no videos, no downloads, nothing...
This surely cannot be correct and I'm still concerned about the first month when it hadn't been used by any one and it was still racking up the data.
One phone call said there was nothing BT could do to check, I think it's a bit odd that I have to pay for usage I haven't even used and for this month that it's so high already and I haven't even done anything!
Forgot to say I had a 20GB package a few years back and I practically used to live on my laptop, used to play xbox live for hours each day, watch a lot of videos, and download a hell of a lot of music and videos and I didn't exceed my limit once in 18 months..
Seems a bit odd to me...

If this is the first month you have gone over, the £5 for an extra unit of 5GB might be waived.
For more information visit www.bt.com/broadbandusagepolicy
The broadband usage monitor is accurate and is updated at 23:59 every night.
Uploads are also counted towards your 10GB allowance.
1) Make sure that you don't have any malware or virus on the computer.
2) Make sure your private Wifi network is encrypted otherwise other people might be suing it.
3) Make sure that there isn't a device in that is using the home that you didn't know was using the internet - Smart phones/portible devices can automatically connet to your wifi (if known) and can update software in the background without you knowing. Some devices will allow phone calls and texts to be recieved over wifi.
4) there are free usage meters that can be downloaded to see when and what is using the 10GB usage on your computer.
cheers
