  2. Re:Place your bets on Hardware Hackers Reveal Apple's Charger Secrets · · Score: 1

    The only group that's more thick-headed than the Apple zealots, are the anti-Apple zealots.

    I am not a zealot of any sort, except anti MS. As it happens I own several Apple products and am planning to buy an iPhone 4 in a few months when they get its issues sorted out.
    That said: Apple tends to be pretty quick with the lawyers and take down notices.

    How long will it be before the take down notice arrives?
    Someone download the plans, and put them up on a torrent site quick.

    No, but I did a lot of BBSing, and programming on them. Hours and hours of looking at blurry text.
    The point I was trying to make is: If a SDTV is the best you have, it will be good enough.

    I own a motorcycle, and a convertible. "Global warming" sounds like a good idea to me.

    American beer? That is evil. If you are going to introduce them to beer, at least make it a good beer.
    Or how about beer with alcohol in it. Introducing the native Americans to alcohol worked out pretty well, for the Europeans. :)
