    Stores cant keep their stock in any fucking sort of order, havent been able to with a small army for the last 30 some odd years

    now they expect you to pick up a shirt from section A-1 and flash you to shorts in B-2, really? HAVE YOU SHOPPED FOR CLOTHING IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE?

    sure its in some order, but for god's sake if a clothing store cant keep brand Y off the same rack as brand B and manage to match size numbers from tags to hangers do you seriously thing THIS is going to work, going to macy's is WORSE than hunting a flea market for video games for god's sake

  6. Re:Why not just cut the CDs and DVDs locally? on Post Office Proposes Special Rate For Mailing DVDs · · Score: 1

    yea you are not going to do this at any scale with a dvd burner bought at walmrt and a spare pc

    shocking and cooking you are two totally different things

  12. Re:Not buying it on After a User Dies, Apple Warns Against Counterfeit Chargers · · Score: 1

    simple, they did not put in route features on the ac part of the board, these are grooves milled into the PCB so that high voltage wont flash over to other parts of the board. They also put their traces way too close so you might have 0.254mm isolating AC from DC

    and it only takes a few 10's of millamps to kill you, and these cables are more than capible of handling 500 -1000 millamps ... usually the low voltage doesnt have enough punch to break the resistance of your skin, but 220 sure as fuck does

    one hand on a hot line, other on ground, your toast

  13. Re:Huh. on After a User Dies, Apple Warns Against Counterfeit Chargers · · Score: 1

    its a one in a who knows shot, but yes this happens all the time, it usually just kills the charger, or your battery, not you

    I had one not too long ago that converted itself to a smoke machine almost instantly, another where you could hear it click, and when measured was putting out 19 volts AC

    just avoid them if they are stupid cheap, its not worth the money

    the charger that plugs into your wall is IS a usb connection, the same type that comes with your android tablet, phone, camera whatever these days

    the problem is some dipshit designer makes knockoffs and does not adhere to basic common sense principals

    I am no apple fanboi, have no apple products, but your post serves no point other than to be a shit tosser when you clearly dont have the brains to comprehend that ANY SHITBALL EL CHEAPO CHARGER CAN DO THIS not just apple's

    so feel safe next time you charge up your precious chintek android using a wall wart you bought for 99 cents off of ebay

    you are killing a router once a year under normal use? my god man blow the dust off of it once in a while and unbury it from behind the stack of shit. My old router lasted 6 years and the only reason I got rid of it is because my internet service increased to the point where it became a bottleneck. My parent still have their linksys from 2004 and this yuts cant keep one going for a year?
