Why so much security on the laptop? Do you travel with it a lot? Is it exposed?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I do, and kiddoes use it from time to time. Also, I'm paranoid. But I need to dial it back because really, there's not enough danger in all the digital world for where it's set now.

I don't know, but I now have to sign in to Yahoo mail any time I navigate away from the page. It's annoying. Even more annoying than their recent redesign and their attempts to be Facebook.

I don't know if this is the cause, (iphone Luddite here) but when I had the 8 GB iphone and it was almost full, Safari did not cache anything and I had that very problem on sites.
With the 32 GB version I've not had the same problem.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Whoohoo, I have joined the 90`s! I am mobile posting, qwerty keyboard & all. The SO`s phone died (well, Alltel started refusing to acknowledge its presence) so we figured it was time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just read earlier discussion of wireless routers and etc., and just want to confirm: If I go to Gud's link [link] and pay them $40, I will end up with everything I need for wireless internet for my laptop? (I think I'm incredulous partly because seriously, if it's that cheap and easy, why didn't I do this years ago?) I don't need anything fancy, just the one computer online.

Since your laptop already has a wireless connection built in (I haven't heard of any made in the past decade that don't) yes it will connect you wirelessly. My one warning is that if you have a really fast connection, you may notice a speed difference with a Wireless G. Yeah, G is nominally faster than most broadband connections, but by the time you get overhead for encryption it is slower than most cable connections, though not slower than a lot of DSL connections. What is your current broadband speed? If you don't know it, try this link, enable flash if it is blocked, then select a city in your general region.

The router you linked to G.b which has nominal speed of 11 mps, but in practice will give a speed of 2-4 MPS. My cable broadband has a download speed of 9.2 MPS. DSL tends to run at a download speed of 1.5 MPS to 2 MPS. (The speakeasy test rates in KPS so my 9 MPS shows as 9,000 plus KPS).
