I just found out I'm going to NC sometime at the end of the month. I've NEVER been on an airplane.

Sorry, to bring ya down if I did. >.< But bring lots of stuff to do. iPod, laptop, sketchbook (drawing calms me down), movies for your laptop, a blanket, a pillow.

Laptops can be DVD players. Sure, it eats up the battery, but it all depends on how long she's on the plane. And how the battery life is on her computer. If it's set to power saver, she should be ok.Psychonaut said:a note on thisMochacho said:I HATE planes. But I hate heights anyway.

laptops are not dvd players
i believe that it is recommended that a laptop be plugged in when using the disc drive, or else it has serious side-effects on the battery's overall life.
ex: it will last one year, instead of five.

It actually does have an effect on battery, even if it's on safe mode.Mochacho said:Laptops can be DVD players. Sure, it eats up the battery, but it all depends on how long she's on the plane.

Yeah, but it eats up a little less. But that little bit can make all the difference.NikoKing said:It actually does have an effect on battery, even if it's on safe mode.Mochacho said:Laptops can be DVD players.

Yes, my laptop's battery is dead and it's only life support is having it plugged into a charger at all times.Psychonaut said:err.. you miss my point.Mochacho said:Laptops can be DVD players.

it is unsafe for the battery's life on the whole, not just for the charge.
it does eat up the battery fast, but it also wears it out for the concurrent/recurring charges.. which means if she uses it for a dvd player for a week, her battery will die sooner than it would have if she had either plugged it in while watching dvd's, or not watched them while it was unplugged..
but yeah, i didn't know it either. boo hoo @ my dad's laptop. lols.

and on the topic of renting a movie from itunes, lol.
if you want to watch a dvd and have an ipod that supports video, rip the dvd using dvdshrink, then convert it to .mp4 using handbrake.
once you get it down/have an xbawks heug hard drive, it's like "OH SH- I DON'T EVEN NEED PHYSICAL MEDIA ANYMORE"
also, yesyes @ what cherrytree said.
totally doesn't rip off the dvd encryption/security..NikoKing said:That's also another easier way that I forgot aboutPsychonaut said:^ this.NikoKing said:Yes, my laptop's battery is dead and it's only life support is having it plugged into a charger at all times.Psychonaut said:Quoting limited to 4 levels deep movies for your laptop,
