As it’s changed from the previous model it had me scratching my head for a few minutes. To enter the BIOS setup just use F1 during laptop startup.

jQuery Multiple Events Without Default Behaviour
Sometimes you trip over the little things.
With several people working on the same page while we were recreating some JS functionality from scratch I’ve noticed one of my buttons suddenly stopped working. Scratched my head a bit, and for a minute thought that maybe it’s not having a “return false;” in my jQuery live() event handler.
Turned out though that it was actually one of the other developers actually putting a “return false;” in their event handler that just happened to target the same element…
Ideally we needed to propagate the event through a variable number of events but prevent the default behaviour of a link kicking in. preventDefault() to the rescue! 
$('#tag').live('click', function(event){
(...)
event.preventDefault();
});
Now, before blindly applying this piece of code I’d encourage everyone to first read up on why “return false;” is evil. 
And for a quick reference here’s a table featured on a related StackOverflow question:
| stop propagation | prevent default action | prevent “same element” event handlers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| return false | X | X | |
| preventDefault | X | ||
| stopPropagation | X | ||
| stopImmediatePropagation | X | X |

Zend Application Resource Plugin Loading Issues
Admittedly thinking while feeling feverish is slightly impaired, but it took me a little while to figure this one out… Trying to integrate ZF 1.11 with Doctrine2 to as per this article, I was trying to be a smart-ass and use TS_Resource_EntityManager instead of the ugly looking TS_Resource_Entitymanager.
Unfortunately all this got me was this very unhelpful error:
Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Exception with message Resource
matching "entityManager" not foundIt turns out that although the case of the resource name in the application.ini dosn’t really matter the class name does not like mixed case. So had to settle with TS_Resource_Entitymanager as the plugin name.
