I bought a new laptop last year and there are a couple different options for vista to temporarily put your computer in standby. I just wonder which is better for my computer in different situations. Options again are Standby, Hibernate, and Shutdown.

Hey guys,

I have a sony vaio c220e laptop. And sony chooses to install a ton of crappy bloatware on their laptops along with some sort of driver check that ONLY allows you to use their drivers. Which needless to say I hate with a passion, now my laptop has legal version of vista home premium but it does not come with a vista cd (in case i want to format). Instead it uses a hidden partition and in that partition al the bloatware and driver crap is included, which I don't want. Soooo....

Is there anyway for me to get a 'free' (legally) or even pay for a vista home premium iso. I just want to be abled to get it instantly as I need to do this soon while I have the time. Of course I could hit up a torrent but god knows what crap is injected into those files.

I figure maybe microsoft has a place you can dl the iso since you already legally have the os to begin with.

God I hate sony and you should never buy their crappy laptops.. ;p

Thanks,
10toesdown

How do you do this to select files from x to y.. Not like command click where you select single files.. shift + click so you select the range. eg

asXghjuolsgjfYdsfdfd

So you click X and then hold down shift an click Y on windows to select them and all the files inbetween... how do you do it on mac

I'm looking at laptops on line, have never owned one. The one I'm looking at is a dell and the battery life is only 2 hours. I mainly plan to use it in my home. Will I be able to plug it in? It does not mention if it comes with an alternate power source. thanks

I see it all the time, people say "I want to download more songs/videos, but my memory is full." Why is memory so confused with storage space?

-AND-
I've seen it even in a textbook before, but why do people think that their CPU is their entire computer? I even had an ex GF who constantly referred to her case as her CPU until I pulled her CPU out one day and sat it on her desk and said, "That tiny chip is your CPU."

I'm looking for an inexpensive solution for monitoring temperatures in my vacation house remotely (200 miles away). I'd like to be able to hook the device up to my router (which is always on) and be able to check the house or outside temperature via a web browser. Recording capabilities or multiple sensors (temp, humidity, rainfall) would be nice but not essential.

Has anyone had a good experience with any such devices. Please supply device cost in your response. I'm ideally looking for something under $150.
