It does prompt for power on password though it doesn't display the text. Only a cursor blinks at the appropriate place. AVG anti virus scan also works, normal booting is done.
One more thing display started giving problems right after the laptop was infected with kak virus worm.

Is there a chance that a security feature called Secure Sleep (screen blank)
has been activated because the screen is totally blank while booting. It doesn't even ask for a system password even though its turned on. Does anyone have any idea as to how to turn off the "secure sleep" security feature?

System is booting up properly but the display component isn't. The maintenance guy says the display chip is gone and the motherboard has to be replaced. But he's not able to find a replacemet in India. Will it be found in U.S.A? If yes what's the cost and is it worth it? Any ideas

Can sadness be considered as entertainment? I think so. We cry when we see tragic scenes on screen , certain books leaves us teary-eyed and we listen to sad songs. Old Indian movies contained many sad songs, we actually call them melodious music. Unable to sleep or plain tiredness, just listening to these songs puts one in a relaxed state of mind. Relaxation in melancholy? We don't stop reading the book even if it makes us cry. Sometimes the pain that we feel in theatre can be so intense and it lingers for quite some time. Even though we know its only a book or a film, a work of fiction, the pain and sadness felt feels so real. Is this pursuit of sadness?

Superb, Greg. Congratulations

Definitely a winner like Marilyn said.

I've just started working jdbc-4 assignment using php and mysql combo.

Congratulations, Juliane.

Big congratulations to the newest bartenders.

There are lot of things you dont have to worry about in this assignment. Like, no need for record lock , non-unique titles is another. A lot simpler in the second case for me.

Fantastic , Barry. Congratulations
