    WiFi Access Point suggestions

    The new model is more than 3x the cost. As long as the one I bought has better range and works better through walls I'll be happy. 5Ghz is going to have worse penetration than 2.4Ghz. http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B00D80J2XU

    I think you are under the misconception that NAT provides security. It does not: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/8772/how-important-is-nat-as-a-security-layer

    Will PoE work with standard Cat 5E? If not it won't help me. The cables are embedded in my drywall.

    As long as I can give it a SSID and password and then never touch it again I am good. My router is a Ubiquiti RouterStation Pro, this is just going to be connected to that through a gig-e switch.

    The giant power brick is what I want to avoid, Doug. Plus, this adds one more wire to the mix.

    I need a new AP for my living rooming. I have a Gigabit Cat-5E drop that it will be connected to, so it would be nice if the AP supports Gigabit speeds. I looked at the Ubiquiti APs, but they all seem to use POE and I don't want the added complexity and extra cables sitting behind my TV...

    Goodbye Firefox

    Trying to do what is possible with Angular.js, Backbone.js, or React with straight html is just impossible. Have you read about or done a proof of concept project with any of these modern web frameworks?

    Completely agree. I see this refrain all over the place. Do you really want to go back to the web of the late 90s or is this just rose-colored glasses?

    Messing with keybindings in every program to make them compliant is a huge PITA. Everytime you reinstall or setup a new computer it's just one more thing to have to mess with.

    98SE setup BSOD?

    That era wasn't that rough. DOS 5.22 with Windows 3.0 was rough. I'm sure some of the older members remember much rougher times than that. When Windows 95 came out my friend got an Acer that came with an OEM CD. I borrowed it to install on my Pentium 90. That was a revolutionary upgrade for me.

    Linux - understanding what's using my memory

    I've used DTrace with Solaris in the past, you can get pretty in-depth data with it. I've never used it with Linux, so your results may vary.

    What distro and why?

    I ran Fedora for a few years. There was something constantly wrong with it and updates frequently broke functionality. PulseAudio never worked right. I then ran OpenSuse for a couple years and it was fine until I did an upgrade install and couldn't get NFS working no matter what I tried. I ran...

    I want to buy a new car

    Why not just institute congestion charges to drive into large cities during peak hours? This has been implemented in London. You aren't going to get people to give up cars and switch to velomobiles.
