- I've recently had some trouble getting my computer to wake up from sleep mode. The fans, blu-ray drive and my xbox controller will all power up and blink their lights. But after about 3 seconds the lights on my keyboard and xbox controller go out but the fans on the case itself remain on. The monitor never powers up at all it just remains in standby mode. Clicking the mouse and keyboard does nothing. Nor does any sound come out from the speakers.
- Is there is a particular laptop with an especially quiet keyboard? I'm trying to figure out a way to type notes instead of writing them, but I want to be quiet, people typing in class is often a distraction.
- What are your favorite winter socks?
- I started renting a condo about 6 months ago that has really thin walls, and I'm pretty sure my neighbor has sleep apnea. Since I can't move for at least 6 months and I can't control my neighbors snoring, any advice on how to ignore it?
- Does anyone know of a good beginners cook book? I'm looking for an Idiots Guide to Cooking really.
- Why doesn't Google or YouTube release a paid service like Netflix or Hulu in countries where you don't have these available?
- With a new computer budget of $500, is it cheaper to go with a premade one like Dell or look into building one? The computer already has a monitor and peripherals.
- Any recommendations for wireless (any method) headphones for under $50? Looking for over the ear, no ear-buds and nothing wrapping behind the back of my head or neck for when I lie in bed watching TV.
- What is the best router I can get for under $140? I would like dual bands 2 usb ports at least, multiple antennas and easy set up.
- What do you have to do to care for good leather shoes and make them last? Both in terms of daily upkeep and longer-term repair.
