Comment Re:STFU if you're an American! (Score 4, Insightful) 139

Apparently, some people still don't understand this whole 'representative democracy' thing. Many Americans- millions- never supported and never will support torture. We didn't vote for those who did, we didn't support their policies and some of us would even like to see them do prison time for them.

Comment As I found out on my trip from the US to the UK (Score 1) 1174

Many laptop makers (and probably makers of other electronics too) design their power supplies to be universal. All you need to change is the (usually removable) cable that goes from the outlet to the transformer. I was able to charge my American Macbook by taking the cable out of the clock radio in my room and plugging it into the little square Macbook transformer box thingy. Since that's a feature they don't even bother advertising, I imagine it's cheap and easy enough to make no one's socket better than anyone else's.

Comment Re:I have a 2002 Prius (Score 1) 1146

If you didn't want to pay a lot to fix your car, maybe you shouldn't have gotten one that was as complex and with as many specialized parts as a Prius. My wife's cousin used to work at a muffler shop in a college town. All these kids who brought their daddy's Jags and Beemers to the shop were stunned to find out how expensive parts were. That's what happens when you buy a more select brand of car.
