many laptops i've seen have built in hibernation stuff in the bios, which did something like create a partition of ~300MB and stored the current state of the system (ram contents, etc) to that partition, which it would reload to memory when it is started again.
i'm sure there are more details to it. i've seen this done an a number of IBM thinkpads...
would it be possible to create patches for current BIOS revisions that could hack in support for something like this?
they just don't roll off of the tongue as easily...
on another note...
imagine a beowulf cluster of these! =P

you should have made symlinks to the old libs and see if they were backwards compatible. and if that didnt work, install the newer version of the lib to an alternate directory...
With the increasingly hot processor temperatures as clockspeeds rise, and the heat generated by laptop's power supplies, etc, could this technology be used to improve the battery life of portable devices?

a beowulf cluster of THESE!
I didn't mean this device in particular, I mean the concepts and technology involved.

But, Slashdot isn't a message board per se, it's an interactive multi-user current-event debate engine!
Oh, the legality.
