All of the loudmouths I see around here appear to be kids. They seem to add
significantly more noise than signal. And more often than not they ask
questions reminiscent of clueless first-tier support reps: "Is it plugged
in?" "How can you not know when you're on battery power?"

Especially when the problem is outlined in detail, yet some nit-wit still
misreads it. To be clear, the laptops in this case are not defective, nor do
the they have to do with the questions posed (after all the laptops are
generally used on batter power intentionally, with the same lack of
alarms--and *primary* question, as noted in the subject, had nothing
whatsoever to do with alarms). But instead of sticking to the subject, the
little dweeb became fixated on his own irrelevant question.

Although I haven't seen this written anywhere, I believe this is to enable
the device to "feel" like it has an "instant" shutoff, more like a TV set is
one description I've seen.

I know I have just recently gotten used to clicking the off button and then
closing the lid even though I know it's still saving. It has yet to fail to
go to sleep but I still like to see all the lights go off. I suspect that
after another month or so, I'll stop thinking about it.
