Some people simply don't bother hibernate/suspend. I didn't know my computer suspended properly until someone asked a few weeks ago and I tested it out. I've had this laptop for nearly two years. Just because you use hibernate all the time doesn't mean everyone else does. I like properly shutting down so anything with memory leaks is sure to be cleared out. Plus, didn't you hear about one of the new exploits where they can run strings on your memory and pull out your passwords from it? If the memory's been powerless for a few minutes, it'll likely be all clear, but if you suspend and don't keep a sharp eye on your laptop (making sure no one tampers), stealing your passwords becomes very easy. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
