whoa.. 3 seconds, are you sure your not talking standby.??

what cpu do you have, or how in the world are you getting 3 seconds from hiber

3-4 seconds for me too.

pentium mobile centrino 1.6 - 512mb ram

then ask a password, i never seen without prompt password

You guys have to mean standby, there is no way hibernate can take 3-4 seconds to resume with 512MB ram.

u'r right, i just checked using a cronos:

15 secs from button press to mobo logo
25 secs for Mobo boot
10 secs for de-hybernate (stop at password login)

as u see the de-hybernate process it's trascurable

i forget:
HDD 2.5 fujitsu 5400 rpm directly on 44 pin channel

See I knew if someone just checked into it, good things would turn up.

Ok.... imagine reverse engeneering DIVX, and writing it in asm.... that's what you'd have to do to make people switch over.

Just a thought I guess.

It makes me sick when people with zero coding experience regard excellent software as a naturally occurring phenomenon. You have no idea how much work is involved with even the smallest project. Coding in assembly is like maintaining a golf course with a pair of scissors. The very existence of the vast majority of useful freeware is due to Windows' hardware and software abstraction layers; before that everyone had to understand how to compile and tweak code to even attempt to use it-- and even then it only worked on one particular type of hardware. The level of usability and functionality of software is directly proportional to the resources applied to the its development, therefore free software can never be as useful and productive as software that is sold for profit. Exceptions are anomalous and temporary. But that's not even what really bothers me. There's something patently solipsistic in looking at this software and thinking "Damn, this is so much better than what actually works well, even though it doesn't actually work at all."
