Question : Why does my HP Desktop have power options for being plugged in and not plugged in?

I'm having alot of problems with adjusting settings on a new HP Desktop. I'm not sure if I'm just being retarded with dealing with Windows 7 at the momment or if it's something with the installation of the OS, maybe. Anyway, my question is this.... When I go to power options the computer options listed are as if it is for a laptop. For example, under "turn off display" it enables me to choose a different setting for when it's running on battery and another setting for when it's plugged in. THIS IS A DESKOP. THERE IS NO BATTERY! Why would both these options be displayed on a desktop??? I'm wondering if this might be a tell tell sign as to why I'm having so many settings issues. An example of a settings issue I'm having is as follows... The screen resolution is set at the recommended highest 1280x1024. The text size is set to the reccommend setting of "Smaller- 100%". When I open internet explorer, most web sites are to large to fit on the screen. Unually it's the other way around. With the highest display resolution being set, the problem usually is that the monitor screen isn't full and text is to small, not the other way around. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone! One more tid bit of info is that the monitor came with the system and it's very large. At least 24". Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Thanks!

Here is an old-school example. You would either change the hard-coded default directory or use ask the user for the directory name.

In order to calculate the StdDev, you have to make two passes through the data, first calculating the average and then the variance.
