I'm using a Dell Latitude E7240 ultrabook with an 1.7 Ghz i3-4010U, 4 GB RAM, 128 SSD, Windows 8.1
The laptop has C-States enabled in the BIOS by default. However, when my computer is not in "High Performance" battery mode, or if it is not connected to Wifi, I hear a really annoying, sporadic whining sound somewhere from the laptop. Looking online, I have nailed the sound to what I believe is something known as "coil whine." It is a high-pitched pizoelectric buzzing sound.
I went into the BIOS and disabled "C-States" and the sound has appeared to have gone away.
However, since I plan on using the ultrabook as portable device, I am worried about negative battery life implications this may have. Does anyone have any rough ideas on how much disabling C-States will adversely affect my battery life?

My HP/Vista is taking about 5 min. to boot and periodically freezes for a minute or two (CPU usage shoots up to 100%), so I'm looking for a replacement for about $500-600 Canadian (no gaming, just the basics). Any ideas? Future Shop is offering a Dell i3847-5387BK PC (Intel Core i5-4460 / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / Intel HD Graphics / Windows 8.1) for $570. Clarityfiend ( talk) 09:55, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
While creating an object of StringBuffer class we get 16 addtional character memory space along with regular data and the modification on the object takes place in the same memory space. so i tried a scenario to clear my doubt, i concatenated a stringbuffer object say("catty") with another stringbuffer "tftwvdhwgdddghdbshgsyg" (more than 16 character long) to see the capacity of the Stringbuffer object but every time i get the capacity as 46(whenever the another one is more than 16 character long). i had thought of getting an error for concatenating a string more than 16 character long.i also want to know the way for printing the address of stringbuffer objects.will someone please explain this(doubt) ?(i am using jdk 1.6). 182.18.179.2 ( talk) 14:31, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
thanks again ,but what about the capacity() always showing 46 and please tell me the method to print the address.with normal objects we just pass them in SOP to get their address.what to do with SOP as same process here prints the value contained in objects. 182.18.179.2 ( talk) 18:05, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
got it.i actually became adventorous in my curiosity.thanks for guidance@ Finlay Mcwalter. 182.18.179.2 ( talk) 06:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I maintain my web pages with the free WYSIWYG editor KomPozer version 0.7.10 (20070831). The files on one site have the structure header + main + footer. The header file includes expressions such as
src="images/h_home1.gif"
But when I load a file into KomPozer, after the merge the expressions have had a local reference added,
src="file:///C:/Users/Hal/Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/images/h_home1.gif"
Obviously, the .gif then does not display correctly on the web site unless I manually remove 7 instances of the added text.
What is happening? Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? Is there a better free WYSIWYG editor? (On another computer KomPozer did the same thing, and so I used Microsoft Front Page, which I can’t install on my present computer.) -- Halcatalyst ( talk) 16:05, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea why but on one mac I use, as opposed to others (and it appears regardless of which browser I am using, or at least in both Firefox and Chrome), the scroll bar on the right side of the page only appears when I place my cursor there, winking off when not "in use", rather than being a permanent feature when visiting any webpage that goes below the bottom of the screen. I dislike this; I want to make it permanent, like it is on the other macs I use. This mac runs OSX 10.8.3 and the Firefox browser I mostly use is the latest version and has been updated many times so this scroll bar feature seems unrelated to the browser version. Any help with how I can set this to off, or whatever is needed to stop this behavior? (By the way, one of the reasons I dislike is that it often doesn't even work, I have to fiddle with my cursor on the side and clicking there before the scrollbar even appears.)
