Using the wrong voltage power supply for a device is likely to cause problems for the device itself.

Absolutely. But by the time it happened I couldn't even connect to the router wirelessly. I was about to throw it out. And it's worked perfectly since then. So I dunno. It seems like something that would be disastrous, but I haven't had a problem with it since. I'm sure it'll drastically reduce the lifespan of the device, but I got an extra year out of the thing at least.

I just chalk it up to Netgear making awful routers. When the thing does eventually die I know I won't buy another one.

No using. That's not what freedom is for.

I once spent a long while running my old laptop with a lower voltage than it needed. (I think it was half). I was using an universal adaptor, and forgot to adjust it up after runing my netbook on it. It did work, but as soon as something resource intensive (such as installing a new OS) came up, it hung up. It took me a week to realize the cause

Everything in my house runs on my basement hamster empire.  Millions and millions of hamsters run on millions and millions of plastic wheels connected to millions and millions of turbines connect to all the appliances in my house.

I can shoot holes into walls with a hairdryer.

The sheer surrealism of this made me happy today.

All you need now is a million tiny typewriters.  Or better yet, a million laptops, since you've got the power, and then you can use proper word processing.

With those millions of laptops I will create an emulation of one utterly sublime laptop to use awesomely.

Dammit. I keep waking up too early. Everyone is asleep or gone for a bit. And no one is online.

In other news. Other games still sucks. That's it, I'm done popping in there just to see indie elitist wankery or idiots.

I already do that. Half of every thread out of other games is invisible and pretty much that whole board is invisible.

Really? Is it that bad? I mean, I only spend time in the Shogun2 and TESV thread, but I see no douchebaggery there at least. Not much of a reverence point, I admit, but still.
