how to prolong your laptop battery
Battery life is a common topic for laptop users. I have read many many posts about how to prolong a laptop battery life. Here are most popular tips that I know.
0 – If you want to use your A.C./D.C power (use power directly from a charger) you may consider these steps:
- Charge your battery full 100%
- Unplug charger
- Use battery power until I has about 45-50% life left.
- Turn off your laptop (certainly) and remove your battery (and pls keep the placeholder of the batter clean + dry
) - Place the battery in a cool place.
- Use your A.C/D.C power
Someone said that “Never remove a fully charged battery from laptop for a period over well about 1 month, because your battery will not be able to be charged again”. I have not test this tip yet, so I am not sure it is true or not.
1 – Keep your battery working in a cool place (at least < 30*C) (Li-on battery is also a chemical battery, it reacts to heat).
2 – Do not charge your batter until the battery has just 5-10% life left.
3- Turn off unnecessary functions as much as you can (blue-tooth, wifi… when you don’t use them)
4 – Using Linux OS (advanced config).
Most of these tips come from my favorite post: http://www.trap17.com/index.php/Pro-long-Laptop-Battery-Life_t64414.html

English jokes – Computer tech support
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system>activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.
I can’t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I’m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn’t work on Wife 1.0. Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application “Yes Dear” to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag, Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0! WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck,
Tech Support

Shiretoko Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu Canonical – a world natural heritage site and the Firefox
Shiretoko Firefox
Today I just recognise there was a Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu Canonical inside my Ubuntu. Wow there were some nice stories about a world natural heritage site and the Firefox web browser.
Discovery about Shiretoko:

I have a question, if a famous browser like FF will be named as your home city, or even your name @@, how will you feel at that time?

Solving Power-on password, non system disk or disk error
My friend gave me a notebook having Power-on password issue. And this post is telling about how I solved this problem. If you are looking for reference, you do not need to read the whole post, just jump to Issues and fixing.
1- Disassembling a notebook:
This is the very first time I disassemble a notebook! Oh my Dad! It must be harder than disassembling a desktop PC 3 times or much more. Many small devices really need your carefulness and patience.
Disassembling my friend’s notebook
2- Finding and fixing problems:
It took me around 17 hours (hic hic if the owner told me that the DVD-ROOM was DEAD already, it would save me up to 10 hours *^&%%$#$&%*&$&$&$.) to solve the problems: the notebook could not boot due to “Bios password issue” “power-on password” and “non system disk or disk error”.
The pity is that I did not know that all the problem had been solved at the first day. I did not know that the CD-ROOM was DEAD already, even I could see it in the bios. So I just thought that there was something wrong left with the bios, or the main board, or the HDD. So both of us (the notebook and me) worked for nearly whole night! And this workaround took me more than 10 holly stupid hours for searching, reading, disassembling, reassempling, checking…
Then I tried with a bootable usb which has got hiren’s boot files 10.0 inside. And it worked. And I could run some tools to format the HDD, set active partition… Finally, I thought that it must be having something wrong with the DVD-ROM. I made a call to the owner… the owner: “I am sorry, I forgot to tell you that the DVD-ROM was dead”… ^*&^%$#@@#$%^^
3 – Issues and fixing
I have tried all of the follow methods. And they worked well for me.
Power-on password: try removing the real-time clock (RTC) battery (you should read maintenance and service guide from manufacturer).
Non system disk or disk error: first try removing the all bootable devices, including USB, bootable DVD…, then check your HDD, DVD-ROM. If no luck, try a BOOTABLE USB like my situation. If all of the above method don’t work, you may try updating your BIOS, buy a new RTC battery.
(I did both, using bootable usb, update bios, and buy a new RTC battery).
Good luck!
