Comment Detention for Possession of Candy (Score 1) 804

I actually RTFA, and I actually RTF policy too. No where does it state that the possession of minimally nutritious foods is punishable. If anyone (besides the teacher assigning the detention) deserves punishment, and that's a very big if, it's the student that handed out the candy, not the one who accepted it. "FMNV may not be sold or given away to students on school premises by school administrators or staff (principals, coaches, teachers, etc.), [b]students[/b] or student groups, parents or parent groups, guest speakers, or any other person, company or organization." (emphasis mine) Of course, the detrimental affects of prohibiting sharing and other critical social activities far out-weigh any health hazards posed by that lone Jolly Rancher. Stupid stupid school

Comment Laptop Input Voltage (Score 1) 1095

Most laptops will accept a large range of input voltages, including both the US 110V standard and British 220V standard. Check the back of your laptop or your power brick to see what voltage range your's can handle. Likely, you'll only need a US-to-British plug adapter, not a full-fledged converter. When my wife and I traveled to France, the only items that couldn't handle the voltage were the electric toothbrushes. Thinkpad, Gateway, Ipod, and digital camera were all ready to go.
