I think the last vbersion of FF was Number 14. 14 versions, and STILL this $%&/&/( otherwise-brilliant browser belies its brilliance by hogging gigabytes. Yuk

OK..... so tell me..... I'm pissed off the version 14 is just as great at hogging memory as version 3..... I've doubled the RAM on the laptop and we're still using over half for FF alone.
What next?

Thanks for that helpful tip madperson
I've just discovered an even smarter solution: it's called chrome and I managed to overcome my innate aversion to learning new cybertricks and discovered in an hour how to set it up and transfer all my Foxy bookmarks and settings. I've spent all evening catching up.... and in that time on FF I'd have had to close down FF and start over.... but chrome is still hogging less than half the memory that FF started up with, let alone the six-fold increase FF overloaded b4 midnite.
So, go on.... make my day.
Tell me about the penguins and pandas in the sandbox....

  • I can get the last time a patch was applied. What I need is this info for ALL servers.

    Getting the last time a server was patched is a simple, single line of PowerShell:
         get-hotfix -computername seadcweb10 | sort InstalledOn | select -last 1
    What I need is to get a list of *all* the servers in Active Directory, and get this information for each.
    I've tried variations of foreach , but I get errors.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi
    The RPC server is unavailable
    This error  comes when any server is not pingable.
    Make sure you are able to ping to all server from the server you are running the script.
    Then give a try to below script :
    foreach ( $p in Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -like "Windows *Server*"})
    get-hotfix -computername $p.Name | select -last 1

  • HT201269 How do I see the last time my phone was backed up?

    My iphone has gone dark. I was planning on getting a new phone but I can't turn my old phone on to transfer data. How can I see the last time my phone was back up?

    If you back up to iTunes, open iTunes on your computer.  Go to Preferences (from the leftmost item in iTunes' menu bar), then choose "Devices".  The backup time will be shown there.
    If you back up to iCloud, you would be able to see it on your iPhone, but since you can't turn it on, I don't think there is another way to find it.

  • My Time Capsule has stopped backing up.  I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.

    My Time Capsule has stopped backing up.
    I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message:
    "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."
    I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
    under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily.  Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
    I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ?  How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD.  It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
    Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go.  What is my computer's name?
    Please someone help!  I'm completely stumped.
    Thanks,
    Maggie
    Mac Help says:
    If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
    Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
    Open Time Machine preferences
    Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. 
    Open Disk Utility
    Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available. 
    Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password. 
    On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes. 
    Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

  • I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

    With the new IOS7 I get every email in my inbox. How can I limit to the last 50 like it was before the upgrade?

    You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • HT1212 If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.

  • When was the last time a program was run?

    Experts, is there a way to know when was the last time a program was run (particularly, Z Program). We are trying to identify obsolete programs and avoid working on those programs that weren't touched for more than 3 years during our next upgrade. How can I find this? Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    One way is to check TRDIR table(se11/se16) and display it. In the next screen once you will get 'Data Browser Table TRDIR' selection screen. There either you put the individual 'Z' program name in the 'Name' field & execute it or for all multiple entries execute it.
    Once you execute it with the particular Z prog. name then you will get the required details like CDAT(Created on),UNAM(Last changed by),UDAT(Changed On),SDATE(Standard selection screen generation: Date),IDATE(Selection screen generation: Date) etc.
    Hope this can help you.

  • The last time an index was used

    Hi to all, 
    I would like to know, if there is a way of knowing  the last time an index was used, or what indexes have never been used.

    Hi Eduardo,
    reading through the updates from Thomas and Volker, I was wondering if there was a bug in i5/OS that causes the "Last used date" information in the file description not to be updated properly for indexes. If you have the plan cache dump or database monitor active (i.e. quite current data in ST04), you could do the following to find out if indexes have been used by the SAP system without a proper update in the file description:
    1. List all indexes into a temporary output file:
        DSPFD FILE(R3<sid>DATA/ALL) TYPE(MBR) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
              FILEATR(*LF) OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPFD)
    2. Compare output with database monitor data using STRSQL or SQLUTIL:
        SELECT T1.MBFILE, T1.MBUDAT, T2.QQTIME, T2.QQLIFN
          FROM QTEMP/DSPFD T1, R3<sid>DATA/SQ3001_DB4 T2,
               R3<sid>DATA/SYSINDEXES T3
         WHERE T1.MBFILE = T3.SYSTEM_INDEX_NAME
           AND T3.INDEX_NAME = T2.QQLIFN
         ORDER BY T1.MBUDAT
    If you find indexes, where the "Last Used Date" is smaller than the QQTIME value, you know that the
    file statistics are not updated properly. You could then open a PMR at IBM for that.
    On one of our internal systems I did not see a discrepancy, so it seems to me that the information is correct. Volker's experiences could be explained by the fact that indexes are not just used to implement SQL statements, but also for table statistics. I assume that the "Last used date" is not updated when the index was only used to obtain table statistics. With incomplete statistics, the optimizer may choose a different join order or access method, which can result in poor performance. So there is some risk involved when dropping an index that has a very old "Last used date", and you can only decide it by trying (with care!).
    Kind regards,
    Christian Bartels.

  • How to find out when the last time a tcode was run by someone

    Hi Team,
    I am just trying to find out if there is a way to find out when the last time a tcode was run by someone.I mean i need to know when was a certain  tcode was last run.
    Thanks,

    Another way would be using transaction STAT,enter the t-code you like to monitor.This will provide all details,like user, time etc...
    Hope this will help
