    News sites have news, not something all the other sites reported on 2 weeks ago. You come here for the comments. The proof is that you replied to me twice.

    Very funny, but picking the pseudonym "Anonymous Coward" doesn't make you anonymous. I can see all the other bizarre posts you've made throughout the years. At least you're past the GNAA phase.

    If the government doesn't get to tell people what to do, why even have a government? Just let people do whatever they want and see what happens.

  7. Re:InOtherNews: Real Apple chargers fail budget te on Fake Apple Chargers Fail Safety Tests (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    In my experience, those knockoff magsafe cables are completely useless. I had a Macbook power supply where the connector stopped working. I saw a bunch of cables on Amazon for $5 or so, much cheaper than getting a new power supply obviously.

    I must have went through at least 5 of those knockoff replacement cables. Several different brands (though who knows if the different brands listed on Amazon all get their product from the same supplier.) None lasted more than a couple weeks.

    I eventually broke down and bought another Apple charger. That one stopped working about 10 months later. At least it was in the warranty period.

    I wonder how many of those blind spot accidents are due to people setting all 3 mirrors to cover essentially the same place - the back of the car.

    If you set your mirrors wider, the blind spot almost completely disappears. Though it will probably be a bit disconcerting at first. If you want to look behind you, you'll have to actually look at the rear view mirror instead of the side mirrors.

    Maybe you could blow the air instead? Granted, it'd have to be a pretty magic straw since the earth-moon distance changes by 26,000 miles through it's orbit. Not to mention that the pumping station would have to be mobile unless you want the straw to wrap around the Earth.

    OK, let's say you make a car that has some sort of device that limits the amount of air that goes into the engine. Let's call this, for lack of a better term, an 'air restrictor'. Then the evil gasoline manufacturers sue the air restrictor maker for limiting the amount of gas that is consumed. The aristocrats.

    Wait, how is this different than spending a week in the city? I mean, other than the fact that you get to tell people you went to BURNING MAN, of course. I survived in the desert- by paying a lot of money!

    There are still a lot of good campsites in the US. Most of them don't have porta-potties.
