You don't have to fool them. You don't have to prove that you're Jewish or
Muslim; therefore you don't have to prove that you belong to the Church of
Bubba. And if your religion dictates that you eat only fried chicken, they
cannot object unless they object to all _other_ religious practices as well.

Can you play golf on a plane?

So you *do* think that you can fool them by claiming to belong to the
"Church of Bubba", just so you can bring a huge bucket of fried
chicken and a gallon of mashed potatos aboard?

Are you new to Mixi? It appears so.

Playing golf has nothing to do with religious discrimination.

The odds of the event you describe being caused by an additional plug
on the system in question, imo, is zero.

Not if the receptacles are limited to 75 W. A single laptop can blow that;
two would definitely be riding the edge.

In any event, back to almost the original argument, plugging in an
aditional device does not halve the volts/amps.

A heavy load can lower the voltage in some cases.

It wasn't that particular article, of course -- I heard of it last time I
booked a flight a few months ago and it had some disclaimer about, "if you're
traveling to the U.K., you're basically screwed" (I wasn't...).

Apparently they've since rescinded the restrictions?

At least the flight crews seem to have a rough time:

The odds of the event you describe being caused by an additional plug
on the system in question, imo, is zero. That said, one can imagine
because this system is aloft it may have a low tolerance for any
additional drain on a single fused, or circuit with fuse, per plug
design.

In any event, back to almost the original argument, plugging in an
aditional device does not halve the volts/amps. And going back *the*
original premise, Mr. notabushsupporter simply made a stupid gaff
remark based on his non-logical thought process, got caught out and
then tried to deny. Case closed, game, set, match.

I didn't say it gave each device half the power. I said you couldn't
power 2 average laptops from one outlet.

In your post, YOU said "Sure, you get half the volts and amps to each
device. LOL! "

I said that the amount wouldn't be enough to power the average laptop.
I didn't say you would get half for each device.

You don't get a an unlimited amount power out of the socket.

"with a maximum 75-watt capacity". How much power does the average
laptop use?

A laptop doesn't need "an unlimited amount of power".

More than 75 watts, so clearly no laptop can be used with that outlet
according to your theory.

No, but the response was relative to the plan using a splitter to share
the socket.

Yeah, right.


1. The ability of the average laptop to use it, doesn't mean "no" laptop
can use `1it.

2. I think the average would be under 75. By aveage, I mean the average
maximum required.

I currently have a 65 watt AC adapter connected to it my Dell D610;

I have used my laptop on many flights. I have seen people have trouble
getting enough power from the airline power adapter for other models.
So, I stand by my reasoning that it would be unwise to count on using 2
laptops from a single adapter. Additionally, someone also indicated
something about an adapter in every other row. On an AA 777, in the
back, there not that many.

You're still in denial on your original stupid statement. And now you
have the unmitigated gall to misquote a transcript that's openly
available to anyone who cares to google it:

I wrote: "Sure, you get half the volts and amps to each device. LOL!"

And you replied to that specific quote: "Which would not be enough to
power the aveage laptop. That is the point."

So, Mr. Clinton, the word "which" means in your above usage, "half the
volts."

Yes, I was saying that 1/2 (of the 75) would not be enough to count on
for 2 laptops. I didn't say each would be limited to 1/2. You made that
statement. I wasn't agreeing with your statement. But... back to the
issue... If you try to use BOTH at the same time, there is a good chance
that neither will work.

There are some laptops that use more than the maximum available power of
the outlet. Additionally, it often isn't difficult to determine if the
outlet on the plane is giving you the required power, even if your
laptop doesn't use more than the 75 watts the airline states you should
have. It is common knowledge that in some laptops, removing the
battery will permit use using the Empower outlet, because you don't use
the extra power required to charge the battery. Believe it or not, some
groups of people spend a lot of time on planes, and actually know the
behavior of different systems.
