Got me thinking...could you integrate a wireless AP into a light fixture without fear of interference, either EM or physical? I'm sure there is a clever solution for something like a hanging chandelier.

Maybe there are products out there already that allow people to hide their networking hardware in plain sight?

Dell was able to pull it off. The only Dell PC I've ever purchased was an Inspiron 1420n which came bundled with Ubuntu 7.04.

I use it to know traffic and weather, as well as keep track of shipments, but I do not use Web Search History.

I think it's adequetly engineered if the motivation is to get people to say "Wow" and then link the article to a friend. At the end of the day, they're selling ads, and this page does a pretty good job at it, I think.

If Firefox hasn't had this since its inception, it's at least been available for the vast majority of its lifespan. Don't remember a time when I haven't used this feature (and I've been using Firefox for a longggg time). Really interesting to see someone mention a feature in Chrome as a benefit over Firefox when Firefox had it first.

I hope more people switch (back), and in turn, more people contribute.

I bet a lot of them were lost. If I were in your class, I probably would not have been bothered by your question.

The questions that bother me are the type that stroke the ego of the person asking because they already know the answer.

On a lot of laptops, the jack is mounted to the case with a single screw and connected to the motherboard via a short pigtail connector. This eases in repair since you can very easily swap in a new connector without having to do any desoldering.

No problem, I was guilty of the same error myself until I got curious enough to look it up.

...and that's what happens when you ignore other studies in favor of STEM :P

Just trying to be helpful, the word is 'ado' and not 'adieu' in the phrase 'without further ado.'
