    Lenovo T60 won't turn on after shutdown

    I've been leaving my Lenovo T60 on or in suspend mode. If I shut it down fully and leave it for a couple minutes, it won't turn back on. The only way I can get it to turn back on is to leave it unplugged and remove the battery for over 24 hours or so (I never timed it exactly). I replaced the...

    I'm getting pretty desperate here. My iPad sold on ebay yesterday and I'm trying to restore it. I tried many times yesterday with various versions of the firmware to no avail.

    I love my fireplace

    I just came on the forums while sitting by the fireplace. We fired it up for the first time this season (32 degrees outside). We haven't put the heat on yet and didn't plan to until the middle of November sometime. It took the temp from around 54 degrees up to 66 with like 10 logs. This is...

    Installing a game off 4 CDs...

    I'm sitting here, waiting for an install to complete. Why? Because there are 4 CDs rather than just 1 DVD. WHY is this?! This is a newer game too (Age of Empires 3). Then I started to think more into it... What if the company wanted to increase the chance that you'll mess up one of the...

    Scheduled Tasks vs Cron jobs

    I know the purpose for each is the same, to run scheduled jobs. However, I tried to create very simple batch files and setup scheduled tasks for them under my Windows box at work. One batch file was to reboot the computer. Simple enough? You'd think. The result is always "Could not...

    Website initial design help (Ms SQL Server vs mySQL)

    I know that there's a way in MS SQL Server to setup an alert to fire an email, for example, when the value of a column changes. However, can I do this when a certain date passes and a column's value isn't filled in (null or emptystring). For example, at the end of the month, someone should...
