Standby Reboot?[]

Is coming out of standby mode really a "reboot"? My computer goes in and out of standby mode without a full reboot, so it got me thinking that maybe it's not fair to conflate the two concepts. Thoughts? --Kanamekun 03:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

It's not a full reboot, else how would the Terminators be able to activate when something changes or hampers their mission parameters? For example, with Carter, he wouldn't be able to tell the door was opening before a specified date (or whatever it was allowed to be open) if he wasn't partially aware? --Terran Officer 05:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Ah great point! I also want to review all the quotes re: standby mode, and see if the word reboot was ever used. --Kanamekun 05:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Ah Cameron refers to the 15 seconds as the reboot time: "15 seconds. That's the reboot time." Since she uses the word reboot here, we'll leave standby mode as a type of reboot. --Kanamekun 08:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

120 sec are relative[]

I would add some note that sometimes (for the dramatic effect), the reboot time differs in TSCC, e.g. latest in "To the Lighthouse". PS: Good idea for an article. -Wikicide 12:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
