Among the superstar players who came and went through the NBA without scaling the heights of Wennington (although several likely scaled him and dunked on him) are Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing and John Stockton.
sleep mode. Related Terms. An energy-saving mode of operation in which all unnecessary components are shut down. Many battery-operated devices, such as notebook computers, support a sleep mode. When a notebook computer goes into sleep mode, it shuts down the display screen and disk drive.
The computer then turns off most of the components of the computer to save battery life. However the computer still uses a measure of power to keep all of your stuff active in RAM. The advantage of using sleep is that it's faster than hibernation when shutting down and starting back up the computer.
