I am experiencing a 50% increase in CPU usage with Boxerworks forum online, than without.

Well according to Native /5, I have the power to take over your computers.

I have installed Bots on all your machines and I'm conducting cyber attacks on opponents of WikiLeaks. If you look closely you will see that those are not Snow Flakes but are in fact pages upon pages of Secret Government Papers being slowly filtered through your droned computer.

MWA Ha ha ha.

You can't see any other members of the forum?

Yeah, NO-script must be killing them, as turning off JavaScript does it.

Funny on count one, but I'm the official flake...

Besides, I mentioned No-Script and other inoculations I run on my servers, but in all honesty, I allow the Boxerworks forum completely. Curious, I wonder if they were gone when I posted before? - Or now for that matter??? If so, my anal-retentive nature with using the Internet in Enterprise situations on Mission Critical systems, must FINALLY be paying off!

I have been packaging these things with CLEO and FEBE packs for so long, I truly have forgotten all I have running as security addons in FF! Oh, and to ruffle everyone's feathers, while I don't recommend it, I run NO ACTIVE anti-virus software on the very same Mission Critical systems...

That's a load of crap. Biggest propaganda story I've heard in a while... Unless it is just teenagers; like they would give two sh1ts about "making a statement" with regard to WikiLeaks, that has to be the largest fabrication ever. Those "in-the-know" with regard to Internet security and have no ethical or moral compass, get filthy rich with their BlackHat hacking on the Internet, not blow time jerking around on some commercial sites to voice their displeasure about the treatment of Wikileaks!

(My favorite is the article I was shown, NAMED the open source LSO exploit tool used to proliferate the DOS attacks - that is BS!!! ---> Yes, tell every teen what tools to use....) OK if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is likely a duck!

[SuperDave]

Ahhhh... I see the subliminal messages I mixed in there is working as well.
Plausible deniability.. YES.... YES!

COOL !

They were here last night, but gone today. I like those flakes.

[Chuey]

On my cornputer the flakes happen when I use the "back" button. How do you guys know how much power (or whatever it is you are using more of w/Boxerworks) your computer is using?

Has anybody gotten word as to whether it is being looked into or not?

With Linux I use "System monitor". It has a running graph showing processes, cpu and memory usage. Windows may have something similar.

[dwire]

Yeah, all flavors of Linux have some sort of "System Monitor" app (OK, maybe not in Slackware, but is there even a GUI front end to use a browser with Slackware these days???)

As for Windows, there are several ways to get to what Microsoft calls the "Task Manager."

1) --->Right click on the taskbar and select "Task Manager"
2) --->Press CTRL+SHFT+ESC - this brings it up directly.
3) ---> Press CTRL+ALT+DEL - This option will bring up your standard StartUp/Shutdown wallpaper bitmap for your flavor of Windows with a number of options (dependent on your version of Windows as well as how you've set your properties in gpedit.msc...) one of which being a "button" to select the "Task Manager."

Once there (the Task Manager that is...) You'll see a bunch of tabs like in the picture below; select "Processes" and look for the offending application, in this case, look for the "firefox.exe" process, or in a 64-bit system, "firefox.exe*32".

As you can see from the screenshot, I have selected to sort by CPU usage, by simply clicking the CPU category, and then captured FireFox with 10 OTHER tabs open and waited for it to bounce up to 2% on this system; ordinarilly, it never gets quite so high, but due to how many processes I am running, tabs in FF, and about 30 plugins in FF as well, it sometimes will bounce off of 0% and up to around 2% range on this system.

Everyone running Windows really should be very familiar with the Task Manager tool, for it is the first place to start nine times out of ten to look for issues (like memory leaks, locked applications, etc...) and is a very useful tool. And, BTW, everyone, please ignore if you are familiar, I am not patronizing anyone here!

I can say the "snowflake issue" as well as high CPU load continues to elude me, for I have yet to see it here on the forum. I'll take a look at the HTML source of the page and see if I can track down what it is that I am missing out on - though I can say there's plenty of snowflakes here now and I need no more!
