Need... More... Power...

MikeDawg writes "After dealing with the headache of never having enough electrical outlets, not having a cable TV coaxial, not having a telephone hookup in the right places of my apartment, I found this article at CNN. It is nice to see that college dorm rooms are getting filled with outlets to provide students with enough hook-ups with for all their electronics. My question to you (renters/dorm-room dwellers) is does your dorm room or apartment have enough outlets, whether it be electrical, cable, telephone, or anything else you may need? What do you do in a situation like this? Do you load up each socket with a 10+ port power strip (or battery backup as it may be) and pray that you don't knock-out the circuit everytime you start burning a CD?"

    Sure a spaghetti mess of powerboards and double adapter is all good and well until you blow a fuse.

    Yep, but just to correct you a little, it was a fission reactor, not a fusion reactor.

    Would he have built a fusion reactor, we would know is name by heart, as the rest of the planet, like we know Einstein.
