I'm told that turning up the brightness and running the DVD drive lots also kills battery life. You'd be best not doing those either.
PS - if it's a works laptop, take care to cover your tracks before the battery does give up. Last edited by Mark; 02-02-2009 at 13:05. |

Naaaaah, I'm too honesty and am being good. Have pulled data off the laptop and am now working on my home comp because I need to put together some documents, which don't require the use of my lappy. It'll be quite nice not getting bombarded with emails for a few hours though.
Mark - I don't post on any forums with the work laptop, so no tracks to cover. Was doing it from my home PC

I was thinking more the power 'conservation' type tracks, and hadn't even thought about the forums. Shows how good I'd be.

I freaking love the snow \o/
The boss may let us go early, only cos it takes him an hour to get to work (in warm, dry conditions) so god knows how long it will take him tonight, he cant very well go home and leave us here |

Yep abandoned cars in town as well. Just tried to see if I could create an avalanche off the front pitched roof over the toilet...... Not yet but there is potential
If a sales man comes today be afraid..... be very afraid. |

Ouch.
Seems to be thawing a little here now, which means it'll be even more deadly when the next lot arrives this afternoon. |

I opened my window at 3.30am this morning and the air was pretty much a solid white. It was AWESOME.
