you must be doing something wrond with your windows hibernate to run your battery.
hibernate saves a memory image to disk and then completely shuts the power off. there is no battery usage in hibernate mode.
now sleep mode on the otherhand uses energy while it is sleeping because your memory is never written to disk. this probably the setting you are using.
I do agree though that there are driver issues when returning from hibernate because most low quality vendors dont give a rats ass about thier products enough to support hibernate mode in their drivers.
So it is royalty free (my mistake), but does that mean that no one is making a profit from it? Someone somewhere will incorporate/patent this technology and make money on it, as it will then no longer be royalty free.
Have you looked at the back of a high-quality monitor before
I happen to own many, and sure they have but these ports are there for very different reasons... none of them can completely replace the other and high end monitors need them all so as to reach the broadest market. If you want to see companies backing standards look at... oh what is that new technology called where we store data on a disk and watch it on our televisions... oh HD-DVD and Blue-ray.
That is the lamest thing I have ever heard. I own a company and it's vision is to create better technology. Yeah, we sure are stuck with 80s-90s technology right now because companies don't care about growth of technology. Just compare mid 90s tech to current tech.
So, you own your own business, good for you. As a thriving young business man as I am guessing you are (by the immaturity of your post/arguments) your desire is to better the world. But what happens when you invent this new ground breaking technology that will mean the betterment of mankind? big name corporations with more money/power than you buy your technology promising to incorporate it in future models of whatever it is they are selling... not just monitors... low and behold they feel that society is not ready for your technology in whole and only incorporate bits and pieces made to look like advancements and increase sales. Once sales drop they incorporate another... and so on.
there's always royalties... hence the reason that companies compete over "standards" they are backing. no companies actually cares about the growth of technology anymore
And if you remove the 9 million barrels a day it's hurting the environment?? Come on, we are looking for improvements not solutions. No one small fix can dig us out of the rut we are in... but every little thing can help. At this point it's not *if* we destroy the environment, it's *when* we destroy it.
Also understand that just as cars are able to make the switch to being more fuel efficient, so can power plants, though the process will be quite expensive and cumbersome and lord knows we can't hinder those big business types with a an issues as controversial as the "environment."
honey, we done did fall off and get runded over, we did!
living for 4 years in an international dormitory at my university, I heard the grunt of it. these kids who knew almost nothing about computing knew one thing for sure; that our measly 1.5 Mbit lines were allot slower than the at the time 12-30 Mbit lines that they had at home. this was 4 years ago and we still have Americans thinking that dsl's 3 Mbit is awesome.
some say it is the huge land mass, I say that we have been in a downward spiral of anti-technology in America since the advent of the computer. making computer's faster is all gravy, but maybe we should also focus on something other zippy graphics and large hard disks...
just my opinion.
true, cancer is a prevalent outcome. but this can all be averted with a more open understanding and free use of testing and experimentation. the only way to let new technology succeed is to put it to test, and if society as a whole tries their hardest to stop it it will never grow into what it can... obviously.
I feel that if we were given free reign over how this technology is tested and used, let people decide for themselves if they want it done to them (knowing of course the possible outcomes), then maybe that 20 years of dead-ended-ness can be bypassed all together.
you know, the idea isn't to grow these stem cells into actual beings. they grow into a group of cells called the blastocyst. consisting of 36 omnipotent cells. these cells can then form into any cell needed, given the proper guidance. thusly creating nerve cells to help victims of paralysis and such.
so no there wont be any manbearpigs running around. besides our DNA isn't compatible, because if it was don't you think some lonely farmer somewhere would have goat-boys?

all of a sudden I want to watch I robot, read hitchhikers guide, watch the simpsons and futurama.... you guys are great

I am sure I read somewhere that people had used their phones to call loved ones or something... maybe I'm wrong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93
that is, if they can understand the question...
DisplayPort is royalty-free. Look it up

my bad I noticed the Chevy emblem and the tail lights after posting...
I am curious... the vid at 22seconds shows bumblebee as a late-model camaro, but the production pics from http://movies.yahoo.com/summer-movies/Transformers /1808716430/photos/17/2718 show it as a new-age mustang... I will assume they change mid production and are going with the camaro.

Ok, ok... maybe I am misreading this from the article... but isn't USB 2.0 480 Mbps... not 12? That could most possibly confuse someone.
