Hardware bug report: the relationship between laptop led blinking and power adaptor noise

My laptop has a most unexpected bug:

When I put the laptop into RAM suspend two power leds start blinking. Then, the power adapter will make two types of noises: one higher frequency noise for when the power LEDs are on and one lower frequency sound for when the leds are off. Thus, the noise from the power adapter changes every two seconds, and there’s no chance to get used to it, a very annoying little bug.

No I go to Asus site and find out where to submit this, such that if I ever buy again a mainstream laptop hopefully it won’t have this thing. My solution would be to just blink the leds alternatively and make them have the same power consumption, but I have not idea if it would be a perfect solution (of course, the obvious guess for this bug is the varying power consumption, I will move to the woods if there is another reason for this). The other solution is probably a laptop from the over 1000€ range.

I really love the title of this message, it makes it sound like a PhD thesis or some article describing something revolutionary .

One last note, the spellcheck found very few errors, but one suggestion was to replace “Asus” with “anus”.

Word wrap in Eclipse. Line wrap in Eclipse

Languages in decreasing order of how well I can express myself using them

Dacă tot îs obligat să lucrez în rahatul ăsta de program, care nu ştie nici line wrap, măcar să vină căutări de pe Google şi la mine.

Since I am forced to work using this shitty program, at least I could have some Google searches come to my site, in compensation.

Parce que je suis obligee d’utiliser ce program horrible, je veux avoir un part de recherches aux Google venir chez mon site web.

Veil ich musse diese sheise program benutzen, ich mochte haben Google _searches_ nach mein website.

Other ten language to come as I learn, hopefully during the universe lifetime, just like this eclipse editor feature.

Deleted lots of work from harddisk

Well, it happened.
I deleted by mistake a directory containing source that did not have back-ups. Then I restored it with git clone, but this was an old version, 4 days old or something like that. The I killed X, unmounted the partition, and did:
reiserfsck –rebuild-tree -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/sda2 .I stopped it believing it takes too long with -S then
reiserfsck –rebuild-tree -l /root/recovery.log /dev/sda2 .I stopped it realizing that what I actually need it the original command.
reiserfsck –rebuild-tree -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/sda2

Now most of the files I touched in the last hours/days are corrupted. While originally I only lost 2 source files, which I could probably rewrite in maybe less than 3 hours, now I lost the whole project. I can’t even do a git clone, .git is corrupted too. No more project to submit a homework. So I guess many of my files are now screwed. Some of them are confirmed to be destroyed:
-text files I edited last hours.
-pidgin configuration
-half of kde programs configuration
-amarok config
I hope I won’t realize many more are gone. The fact that .git is corrupted is a strong indicator that not only the files edited in the last hours are gone. My last back-up was one month ago.

The lost+found directoy, which was my hope, is largely useless. I go to sleep now and search again through lost+found in the morning.
The sad thing is that in the last 2 weeks I was really thinkinf of starting real back-up.

I also don’t exactly understand what happened, probably stopping “reiserfsck –rebuild-tree rebuild-tree” is a bad thing. Anyway, these are not tools for the faint of heart. And if you jump the window the first second you see fire you deserve the consequences.
Lesson learned.
