It would be significantly easier to simply kill & restart your miner process using task scheduler. It won't save you *quite* as much energy/heat as fully hibernating, but the difference between an idle computer and a mining computer IS pretty substantial. Just make a couple batch files, one containing the command you use to start your miner, the other containing something like: taskkill /f /im:poclbm.exe /t Replacing poclbm.exe with the actual filename of your miner of course. Cool, thanks! What would I use to launch those batch files at XX:XX hours?

Gizmodo is the internet equivalent of a hyperactive kid, bouncing around and pulling your leg to get your attention. They didn't 'get' bitcoin when it first came out, didn't bother to really learn anything, so naturally the evolution from their "discovery" of the system leads to internet-taunting, then proclamations of it being 'dead'. Gizmodo is just an RSS for Apple news updates. No wonder they hate on Bitcoin since mining on a Mac sucks.

Damn, everybody was way off on this one!
this rally knocked me out of my gains i made on sliding down, close to 10%. this is the cost for not taking recent Forbes and Gizmodo articles seriously I didn't see the Forbes or Gizmodo articles. Synopsis? I missed this run-up because my funds are stuck in transit to MtGox. Ugh. Oh well, I sold at 12.6'ish, re-bought at 9.0, then re-sold at 10.70-10.80 IIRC. Missing one rally isn't going to hurt I guess, but it still woulda been nice. My prediction: We're not going to see huge full-integer swings up or down for a while, barring any catastrophic event (like 100k BTC being unloaded on the markets). I think we'll see a lot of action within fairly close low/high bounds though. So whoever has the volume stands to gain the most.
