@oneshot719: I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium on a Samsung Q430-11. I have it set to sleep when I close the lid, but when I open it the only button that wakes it up is the power button.

@codyloyd: I second PayPal. Another option that most credit card companies offer are temporary online numbers that you can use in place of the number on your card to make purchases online.

Quick question: How can I get my laptop to wake up from sleep when I open the lid (like on Macs)? Is it hardware specific?

Sunglasses, Microfiber cloths for the windows, bright flashlight, extra brake fluid for the manual transmission, iPod and charger, GPS, fire extinguisher, pens, notebook, headphones, car maintenance records, tissues, change (coins), and my work ID badge. The nice part is, I never see any of it because it all fits in…

@senshikaze: That is just like VA! I totally agree.

@kake81: Lucky for you! Down in Virginia Beach it is really humid and the temps right now are around 95!

@Archnemesis_Goldenhair: Wow! Don't try to do too much at once. You don't want to get burned out!

@dboudwin: We use Symantec Endpoint Protection which is a very good product, although calls to customer service take forever! For filtering we use Barracuda, which is the best I have found yet.

@trimylus: Amen!

@fiji.siv: Exactly.

@jeremiah89: Even better would be to put some sub-headings in each of the categories. For example, in free stuff you could have iPod/iPad Apps, Music, and Software.

@AlienSix: Just come into my office...half the computers I open up to add ram, swap hard drives, etc. are this dusty!

@daveywest: I agree with FoxCMK. I would also recommend watching the movie Fireproof which is about a husband and wife in your similar situation. It's really good and I recommend going to www.fireproofmymarriage.com

@mr_martin: Have had the same thing happen to me before too. After reloading the page a time or two it normally works. If that fails, restart Chrome, and if that fails, do a system reboot.

@criosray: What I said earlier still applies...different setups = different results.

@criosray: Did you do a fresh install of 7? or did you do an upgrade? or did you purchase your PC with 7 already installed?

@criosray: Let's not let this get out of hand here. I'm simply stating how it has been for me. Your results might be different depending on your hardware, setup, etc. I'm not saying that you're lying, I'm just telling you how it worked for me, my hardware, and my setup.

@criosray: I don't know what version you installed, but my install only took about 8 GB.

@criosray: Yeah, it takes a while sometimes. Normally it isn't quite as long, but 7 is MUCH faster.

@criosray: No, my XP was coming out of Stand By, not hibernation. 7 is much faster in this regard.
