With major resouces Firefox slows over a period of time rending web usage to a crawl.

Running Debian Jessie (using lxde) on a system with major resources (well over 20 GB of RAM using 14 desktops).
I tend to have lots of windows and tabs open.
Use different windows for different lines of inquiry and tabs are things that I found interesting.
This means that I can have 10+ windows open and some windows might have 25+ tabs.
I try (not terribly successfully) to prune tabs I'm not using but I definitely get tab (and less so but also window) accumulation.
Somehow Firefox gets to where my web access is conpromised where I'm getting access at a glacial pace, and as I'm on wireless its already more than somewhat slow(!!). So if I close all the open pdfs and reboot the system I will get much snappier web access but the closing of all the pdfs and then setting up the windows on the different desktops is a pain.
Are there settings besides the Preferences: Advanced: Network: Cached Web Content (which I increased to 'Limit cache to 1024 MB of space' which is as high as I can get it to go) that could be used to get the annoying problem to disappear? Perhaps Firefox is designed not to be used with larger numbers of windows with lots of tabs per window (If so let me know)? Just want this to work!
I stopped using Chrome because when my system went down there wasn't an easy way of finding all the tabs again, at the time, so when I found that Firefox was better at this I have moved the bulk of my browsing to Firefox.
I have checked with my ISP and it seems that the bulk of my issues are my browser. As Firefox is doing most everything else quite well it would be very good to get rid of this pesky problem (without the reboot cycle being needed). Just in case it makes a difference I was running Firefox 24. something up until today when I got totally frustrated and did a reboot cycle (and now have decent internet access).
TIA

I have spent a number of hours poking at the web using my friend mr duckduck and looking into various suggested corners on my system to try and narrow the area of difficulty that is causing my occasional (yet all too regular to date) web slowdown issue.
There is a lot of clarity that is injected into this discussion by reviewing my system's ram usage.
(For those coming late to the conversation I have what most would refer to as huge amounts of ram (north of 20 GiB). My work style is also such that I have a lot of windows (22 at present) open and tabs on each window ranging from a few to 20+.)
My system information tells me that at present 84% of my memory is cached. (I'm not sure how that compares to others but I would think that that is quite high.) A further breakdown in the numbers tells me that 54.8% is in what is termed 'Active (file)' and where I think the issue is 39.1% is in what is termed 'Inactive (file)'.
Somewhere between FF and the various subsidiary programs there is a tremendous wastage of ram cleanup scavenging and/or reliquishment (take your pick or any combination you wish).
What is being done by FF developers to reduce this inactive cached ram?

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

Visualizing sound over a period of time/comparing 2 audio files graphically

Hello, this question might be a bit abstract, but I would love it if anybody could offer some insight or ideas. Apologies if there is anything related to this on the forum--I did a search but couldn't find anything. I suppose it's not entirely Logic related, but it's what I've been working with and don't really know where else to turn. Okay, so here goes:
I'm studying graphic design, and as part of a project, I need to create some information graphics to basically represent visually two similar sound sources over a period of a couple seconds. Basically, one will be an audio sample of a three second drum intro, and the second will be an approximation of that using a sampler (Logic's EXS24).
Now I have an idea in my head that I would like to explore, but I can't figure out how to get the raw data I need to illustrate it. I think what could work for me would be to take a certain number of samples, say about thirty per second, and get the raw data, say like, the amplitude of each frequency at that exact moment. Then I could draw or graph that out. And layer them. I'm sort of envisioning something along the lines of this:
I'm not really trying to be too scientific or accurate in this. It's more an attempt to sort of create a physical, or almost 3D representation of the sound, and give a sense of the physical form and time in a 2D graphic. In doing so, I hope to show some difference between the original sample (old analog recording, drenched in reverb, etc) and the dry MIDI-based one.
I'm not sure if any of this is making sense, but I hope someone might be able to offer some ideas. I've been going crazy trying every single Mac shareware audio analyzer product I can find. The problem seems to be that most of them are designed for real-time audio analysis, or that they don't really offer a way to export the data over a period of time (I think I found one that can export something that Excel can read, but it's just for one split second of audio, and not a duration.)
Sorry this is so convoluted. I'm sort of new to the audio game. Oh ya, and I have Logic Pro 7 and also have Ableton Live 5 so that's what I'm working with. Thank you so much!

call fadeSoundF() and pass the movieclip where the sound is instantiated, the sound, the end volume and the number of seconds over which you want to fade. nothing below should be changed.
function fadeSoundF(mc:MovieClip,s:Sound,vol:Number,sec:Number):Void{
clearInterval(mc.fadeI);
var volumeInc:Number = vol-s.getVolume()/(10*sec);
mc.fadeI=setInterval(fadeF,100,mc,s,volumeInc,vol);
function fadeF(mc:MovieClip,s:Sound,inc:Number,endVol:Number):Void{
s.setVolume(s.getVolume()+inc);
if(Math.abs(s.getVolume-endVol)<inc){
clearInterval(mc.fadeI);

DP macros, calculating average values over a period of time

Hello
I have a key figure row, for the future i want this key figure to contain the average of a different key figure row over the last year.
How would you go about calculating the average value of a key figure row over a period of time and then assigning this value to another key figure?
I've tried variatons of AVG() and SUM() & SUM_CALC a but none of them seem to get me anywhere, i may not understand completely how rows & values work so any tips would be helpful.
Iin pseudo-logic: what i need to do is:
Calculate the average value of a key figure row over a given period (the last year)
Store this value somewhere, in regular programming it'd be a variable of some kind.
Assign this value to another key figure row 18 months into the future.
Regards
Simon Pedersen

<H5>Hi Simon,
If you are a technical guy, you can create a BADI implementation for that macro and manipulate the matrix data like the way you want.
the procedure to implement a BADI is
1.SPRO --> SAP SCM - Implementation Guide --> Advanced Planning and Optimization --> Supply Chain Planning --> Demand Planning (DP) --> Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) --> MacroBuilder --> Additional Functions for Macros.
create a new implementation by copying the class for the BADI defenition '/SAPAPO/ADVX' and write your own code in the method '/SAPAPO/IF_EX_ADVX~USER_EXIT_MACRO '. There is a sample code and proceedure explaining how to handle the data in the internal tables C_T_TAB and C_T_TAB_OLD. the calculations can be made with help of I_T_LINES, I_T_COLS which are rows and columns tables.
find out the the row and columns of the grid to be read and do calculation and then put the result in the desired cell.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Srini.

Since the later updates of in the 3.x series, I've had increasing losses of functioning of bookmarks & history, with 4.x it's gone, with latest update, Firefox slowed to non-funcitoning on my Mac Mini under OS X - What can I do to make it work again?

'''bold text'''I am not computer savvy. That may be understated.
I've enjoyed Firefox til the later updates to the 3.x version. First lost ability to update my bookmarks and history, but the old remained. With the 4.x updates, I lost all bookmarks and history and could not page back -- big problem. I have not addressed these problems because I have bigger life problems, and had hoped my husband would take care of it all. Not hoping any more. With the latest 5 version update, Firefox is not functioning, too slow to be workable, and getting hung. When it hung, it hung with a troubleshooting message, but I didn't save it. Will try to reproduce that and put it into the next section in this communication form. (I got the uselessly slow, but not the hang up message. Sorry.) It also slightly scrambled the display of writing on the page I pulled up.
I was doing a google search for a Gallery website.
Please give me some Firefox Fixes For Dummies level advice that will help me get my favorite browser back. THANK YOU.

Hi Suzy Q,
I can send and receive calls.
I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
It runs slow.
I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
I get a black screen on occasion.
sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

Firefox freezes for a period of time when I try to fill out online info

When I begin to fill out forms on line, the first few letters show up but then Firefox freezes for 15-60 seconds before the next letter is entered and does this with all of the letters I entered after thel initial freeze which is just what happened. I have therefore gone to typing the information in Notepad and then paste in the appropriate area which is what I am doing now. However, outside of Firefox the rest of Windows 7 is responding. I thought it might have been a problem with my keyboard but after contact with Logitech and there recommendatons which did not work, I believe it is a problem with either Windows 7 and/or Firefox. I have not used IE yet so at this point I do not know if the problem exists there.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Flash in Firefox after a certain period of time

I dunno if this is a common problem amongst others that are experienced but I leave my desktop on 24/7 and typically have Firefox open with a session of many tabs, so when I come back to the box and view a flash video (this is after many hours, perhaps after work the next day or such) it pauses about 2 seconds in or so and the sound doesn't work, then a few seconds later it is like it's trying to play the sound but it does the du-du-du-du stuttering thing, it's frozen and I have to close the tab and even 5-10 seconds after that until the sound stops. I pretty much have to restart FF to get flash working right again.
I have never had probs with FF and flash but I think some recent update may have done this, not sure. I use an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 card that works perfectly in all other means (5.1, stereo upmixed to 5 channels, multiple apps using sound simultaneously, etc.). Just a flash issue here or perhaps my configuration?
TIA

That sounds like a plan-- did you install this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21045 ?? If so, I would just remove the flashplugin I have installed via pacman and install this right? Thanks

Is there a way to make keynote "draw" a line over a period of time. In some cases I can "fake" it using a wipe but if the line double backs on itself, it is not what I would like. Suggestions? Enhancement request?

I can fake what I need if the path is something like:
But if the path doubles back on itself, such as:
The wipe does not have the desired effect. I would think the appropriate name for what I want would be "Draw". I want the line to be drawn from one end to the other in a specified amount of time.

create 2 draw shapes showing as a single coloured line;
one that shows the line from the starting point at the left to the furthest point it extends to the right
the second line starts from the end point of line 1 to the furthest point it extends to the left
add a wipe to line 1, wiping from left to right
add a wipe to line 2, wiping from right to left, which automatically builds after build 1, with no delay
when played back it will look like a single wipe

Does the home button of iPhone 5 stop working over a period of time?

I'd purchased an iPhone 4 when it was released. After using it for 8 months the home button had stopped working. Then i found out that its a common problem in the iPhone 4. Is it the same with Iphone 5?

I've never had a problem with any iPhone I've had, nor has anyone I know. But being a mechanical device, parts are going to break. That's why there's a warranty.

How do I add current value to existing values over a period of time?

Sorry guys, I'll apologize in advance since I think this problem may be very simple, but I had been mind blocked from going through hours of Labview Tutorial and trying it out.
Lets say I am working on a workout analyser, and everytime the z-axis fall below 0, I would count it as '1 count', I wanted to add up the total number of counts. Do I use an array to store the 'count'? I try using shift register and it only gives me the current count plus the previous, i.e. I get 2 everytime I do a count.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you just want a count, then a scalar value should be what you put into the shift register, not an array.
If the condition is true, add one to the value in the shift register and put it back in. If the condition is false, then just put the current value in the shift register back in.

Issues with Shared Variables in Systems Running for Extended Periods of Time

I am designing a large SCADA system using LabVIEW DSC and cRIOs. My plan is to use shared variables to communicate the majority of the information across my network (much like "tags" in a normal SCADA system).
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced issues (connection failures, etc...) with shared variables running on systems for months (both real-time and windows based PCs) without the cRIO or PC being restarted/redeploying the variables. What is the stability of the Shared Variable Engine over extended periods of time?
Thank you for the input.
--CLD--
LV 6.1, 8.6.1, 2011 SP1, 2012 SP1

I have a system with 2 cRIO's each with Ethercat extension chassis. Each cRIO hosts ~100 NSV's and is running the scan engine at 40 Hz.
Each cRIO is coupled to a HMI that has front panel control bindings to NSV's hosted on the cRIO as well as a windows hosted mirror library (used for citadel db logging) that is also bound to the cRIO NSV library. The cRIO's have monay months of contiguous run time without reboot and I closely monitor cpu and memory usage and also rt performance metrics and will log faults if there are any such events. I also use NSV's for messaging from the HMI to the cRIO for such things as setting zero offset values and deploying configuration parameters. My overall findings are that the SV engine and the PSP are stable and efficient (especially NSV<->NSV and NSV<->HMI binding)

Hi All,
We wanted to know what are the tcodes that are used and how many times over a period of time..
Can you please suggest the ways to find this out..
I have heard of ST03N but not sure how to use this and then download the information ..

Does this application in memory get killed over a period?

Hi I am a Iphone 4G owner recently, want check if someone already knows about. I know someone must have had this question before. In this new multitasking, we open multiple apps and it appears back and forth when we press home button two times.
Is this apps gets killed over a period of time automatically? or do we need to kill them manually? Or is there any apps can take care off it.
I am on IOS 4

Entire system crashes when fire fox is run for a short period of time

So I've been building a new PC over the last 3 months and today it's finally complete. When I run Firefox for a short period of time (shortest so far is 10 seconds, longest is roughly 30 minutes) my entire system will just freeze up. Display stays on but nothing I do will update the display and I will need to forcefully shut down the entire PC.
I would rather not switch to a different browser.
I'm certain this only happens with Firefox because it does not happen with IE, and I've been using Chrome for the last 10 mins without an issue. It does not seem to crash is safe mode.
Not sure if I was getting unlucky but I was using the British version of fire fox and it would seem to crash more constantly then the American one.
*EDIT*
I just got the same crash with chrome. But it took a lot longer to happen compared to Firefox. I'm really confused as to what's happening now, I'm going to close my browsers all together now and try doing something else for a few hours, I don't think it's because my system is getting over powered because my stuff is very high end.
I will post my system specs, then leave and come back in a few hours, to check for replies. Sorry if I take a while to get back to you.
If you need additional information just ask.
Specs
Processor-i7 3930k
Mobo-asus p9x79 extreme
Graphics card-amd 7970
RAM-g.skill 16gb 1600mhz
I think that's the necessary specs.
I'll see you all in a while.
