      I've always wondered this... If you plug a surge protector, into a surge protector, into a surge protector, etc... & plug in a bunch of things into all those surge protectors, how many surge protectors can you plug into each other without overload?

      Honestly, probably a lot. If you were just running a desk lamp, it shouldn't be THAT different from just plugging the lamp into an equivalently long extension cord, which can get to 100 feet, easy. The problem would be if you got greedy about running a whole slew of devices off of all those extra outlets you've left along the way. Each new device draws a bit more current, and eventually you trip your 15 A circuit breaker. (Most surge protectors have fuses, anyway; they're probably trip earlier than that.)

      If I'm working on an ee type project (for fun :D), can I ask you guys for advice by email? I'm working on making an aux input cable for my car radio/cd-player and I'm having a bit of difficulty making the cable using Molex connectors.

      Speaking for myself [Brian], absolutely!

      Do professors ever consult with other professors about a student’s performance in their class when they know the student is enrolled in other professor’s similar class and when they are assigning borderline grades?

      I (Brian) have been through a buncha final grading processes, and nope, that's never come up.

      "Omg....i feel like the grade is gonna be posted tonight.... Oh the tension." looks like no :(

      We aren't posting them, but you can still find the info by emailing Brian.

      PLEASE release the grades! or post final scores on the site!

      This information is a bit too sensitive to post publicly like that. Please email Brian to learn your final grade information.

      are the final scores going to be posted on the gradebook?

      No, they're too sensitive a matter. (It's akin to posting your ungated transcript online; we aren't allowed to do that.)
