don't mind that clown. some people on this forum think their sh*t don't stink so they feel the need to act accordingly.
as for me, I just use the regular two prong thing. I don't need the extra length cord.
i havent really found the need to use the extension cord as of yet. i never use my MBP too far from an outlet
I use the cord extension at home when I'm surfing on the floor or typing up report on the bed. When I travel I just use the adapter, hotel desks usually have a power port right next to it.
I use the two prong plug. But all my outlets in my house are made by Monster so they give very clean power supply.
You will notice in time that iW00t as a whole is totally unnecessary and should be added to the sites global ignore list. Or you could just do this: https://forums.macrumors.com/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=ignore&u=89186
i use the short cord, mostly because i use my comp close to my desk most of the time. but as mentioned above, i grounds it and so forth....so i might change my cord...
Wow, really?
I tend to do the same thing.

I actually use both, it depends on where I am. When I'm in my room I use the long one because I never know when I'll feel the need to move from my desk to by bed. But I use the short one when traveling, if I take the laptop to school or just go to the living room.
i fail to see the point of the onboard plug who wants their power supply sticking 4 inches off the wall?!? now a nice angle plug that keeps the thing right up against the wall now we're talking...
actually its not a onboard plug my bad, its snap on

When i got my macbook, i was amazed at the design that went into the power brick (choice of cords, can wrap up the magsafe end)
but anyway... i use the two prong adapter at home, as i dont need the length, but the extended cord always comes with me when i travel.

I use the longer extension cords all the time. When I first opened the box of my MBP, I was pretty suprised how short the cord was. Little did I know that there was an extension for it. I use mine in the living room, bed, etc and the longer cord allows me to plug in the MBP while I'm sitting on my bed or couch.
I always use to the longer cord. The little plug is in my computer stuff drawer... at least it was last time I saw it months ago..
I use the longer cord...wrapped up (properly, of course!) unless I need it for longer distance. However, I do keep the two-prong attachment in sight, just to remind me that 
cares
It's really up to personal preference, but I like having the ability to always unwrap the cord if I need more distance, whether I planned for it or not.
