I have a laptop and I hurt that if it's plugged in to power and turned on when the battery is in it, the battery may leak. May that really occur?

[thegeekgroup]

No, you're fine. Unless something is *really* wrong with it you should be able to use it while plugged in all the time.

I haven't used IE for several years. Firefox pwns it in every way imaginable. lolzz We should set up a mass distribution of Firefox and mass removal of IE for the world. It would make so many people happier. :D

[TheWiseTorsk]

The world needs more people like Chris

[Hisart1]

Chris, you guys are great! This is what it's all about, keep up the great work!

[yannickheinrich]

[jbohbot1]

[josiahct]

@101blender Have ya tried google chrome? is good for wen you get a virus on firefox :P

[halzduk]

Really nice, Chris! I think the most important thing you said to her was to use Firefox instead of IE. You should install a software or something on the computers that checks if they tries to use IE. If the do, a picture of an angry Mikey with a sledgehammer in his hands pops up with a big WARNING text. That'd be awesome lol.

Those are some really good tips. I could have avoided some expensive repairs wife's laptop. Although, if you shop around you can buy a new power adaptors from Hong Kong for $20 or so, for most laptop models.

I once closed my old laptop and put it in its bag. Hours later I found it crashed and didn't shut down...So yeh, it was very hot, the heat sync glue melted and it fell off the processor. Fun times

your doing great work guys, I wish we had something like the geekgroup in the Netherlands. You inspire kids who don't know yet what they want to be when they grow older.

It would be a great program to make it possible for schools around the USA to order prototypes at the geekgroup. Prototypes designed by school kids. A thing that would be far too expensive for local schools. If you had a campus you could make a great summer camp for kids and parents with lots of fun educational stuff.
