All of the sudden, Eclipse stopped working. It started doing something, taking forever for some weird initialization processes like "initializing java tooling" and the similar.
A tip from this site actually helped to solve the issue:
Kill the stale Eclipse, delete the folder
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects
and start the Eclipse again. The folder will be created on the next start.
Don't forget also to delete .metadata/.lock each time Eclipse crashes or being killed.

Remotely connect to the windows 2008 console.
Windows server won't let you to connect to the physical console session remotely.
Bot that's still possible.
Connect to a new session, then execute the following command:
tscon.exe 1
replace "1" with the console session if it's differ. To know it, open the task manager's Users tab and look for the console session id number.

If you wired two PC together using a crossover cable or a hub without an outbound connection, windows makes the network connection type (profile) "Public" and all the public firewall rules will be applied. It's possible to make it "Private" using the script as described in this blog.

Windows on SSD
Made a new computer for my work place. It's not an upgrade, because the old one was not touched and completely replaced. I've got an ASUS motherboard (P8H77V-LE), an IvyBridge i7 CPU, plenty of memory, an Intel 520 series SSD for the system boot and a WD Black HDD for active work data.
To reduce the number of writing operation to the SSD, I moved some folders including my user profile to the HDD, and also instructed the system to create all new profiles there.
The latter is the most easy part, just change the registry value
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory
To redirect all the other folders you need to create a junction between the expected location and the actual one. The full list of the folders which were moved to be located on the HDD:
C:\Users\%myname%\
C:\ProgramData\
C:\Windows\Logs\
C:\Windows\System32\winevt\
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\
To move a folder I need to boot to the recovery console (reboot, F8, repair (if F8 does notwork, try F5))
In the repair console the drive letters are changed. The drive C: becomes E:
Important! If there more than two drives in the system, the target HDD could also change the letter. Make sure it's letter is the same in the recovery mode as in the normal operation mode! Unplug or disable (in the BIOS setup) all other drives.
Use the robust copy command which carefully copies all the directory structure:
robocopy /copyall /mir /xj E:\ProgramData\ D:\ProgramData\
after the command above successfully creates a directory mirror, rename the source directory (delete it if you are brave enough) and then make a junction (a link), using the following command:
mklink /J E:\ProgramData\ D:\ProgramData\
make sure, the ACL remains the same for the original and the junction, use the icacls command as follows (assume the current dir is E:\):
icacls E:\ProgramData\ /save ProgramData.acl
- before you put the original away
icacls . /restore ProgramData.acl
- after you have created the junction
Directories like the following can't be safely moved, windows does not even boot:
C:\Windows\System32\config
C:\Windows\security
2. Make the page file on the HDD as well. Even if you have a lot of RAM, the page file is still required.
Use windows' Resource Monitor to check, that most of writes now go to the D: drive (HDD). Use the Sysinternals' ProcMon to collect a statistic about file operations and make decision what could be also moved to the HDD.
