    question for the more educated on computers crowd

    Windows XP has hibernate as well. There has always been this debate leave on or turn off. While there is definite number of times that a motor in a hard drive will turn, there is a lot of wear and tear on the spin up and spin down. We have computers at work that have been on for over 10...

    Lack of funds, but need equipment!

    Beavs, If you find the item through freecycle you are totally breaking the consumerism trend. You get the item for free (gas for the pickup), the donor gets the item out of his/her way without filling up the landfills.

    Time to inject the Y chromosome here... Ask him out. JUST DO IT!!!! How I dealt with rejection? It crushed me but you have to get back on the horse that threw you. Maybe not the same horse, but another horse. Also don't conclude rejection unless he's clear he's not interested...

    This is so incredibly depressing...

    Global warming is a natural cyclic event that has happened 5 times before without the aid of man. We may be accelerating it but we did NOT cause it (or are we likely to stop it) We could however not accelerate it much faster unless of course it makes my garden a zone 5 instead of a zone 4!
