I have a powerbook. Two weeks ago, the power cord went (I have had this for over 3 years, so not unexpected). I bought a new power cord. Now this power cord does not seem to be working. I only have an hour and 24 minutes left-- what the heck? Could I need another new cord? I have tried plugging it in in several plugs and restarting and I am stll on batter power and there is nolght on the cord where it attaches to the computer.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I know this sounds silly, but have you tried turning the end of the cord that plugs into the computer the other way around? Mine sometimes doesn't work if one side is up, but with the other side up, it works fine.

OK- I think I might be a genius! I took the power cord half of the new adapter, and the other half of the old broken one, and put them together. Still weird that the new one crapped out like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Modem Dial-Up Sound Slowed Down 700% Is Super Creepy
Here’s what a modem dial-up sounds like slowed down by 700%. This would make a great soundtrack for a horror film.

Can any rec a free, idiots-can-use-this, Zip program? I'm trying to get into the specs for a potential editing job, and my Winzip free trial is dead.

We use 7-Zip at work. Haven't tried WINRAR.

Oh my God, how does anyone use a smartphone? It's been three hours and my battery is suddenly half gone. All I did was play Angry Birds for like five minutes in the morning and wave around a lightsaber for ten seconds. It lasted the whole day the last couple days when I was actually USING it; I don't understaaaaaaand.
