The one web page that every article on Wikipedia references says itself the names "snap", "crackle" and "pop" are made up. This is that page http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/jerk.html. I am a physicist and have never seen this term used in any text. I am removing from the list. To re-add please first provide a reference to a classic physics text that uses the term.

sections[edit]

I do not believe that all the topics covered in the computing aspect fit to science and engineering -- specifically a search engine would actually fit closer to a product than a science/engineering concept and some people might argue whether a specific protocol is a product or an engineering issue. (ie that protocols in general are computer science/engineering but that a specific protocol might be considered a product to solve a particular system issue.) As a result I think is appropriate to keep the IT and Science aspects more separate. Nashikawa 23:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many very small sections worsen reaidng and searching, and generally discouraged in wikipedia..

The following contrib was made with no indentation, and is indented (to a normally unjustified depth!) to avoid the confusion it would impose on any further contributions if left where i found it. Most likely it responds to the contribution of "mikka", and agrees that additional sections would be counterproductive, but there's really no telling!

I agree completly with you my friend!!

(Snap of the fingers)[edit]

What about snapping your fingers. Is there no insanely in-depth article on the mechanics of the snap? As far as I know, this is the origin of the word, shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere?

Snap-on[edit]

Why was Snap-on , the tool manufacturer removed?
It has an article in Wikipedia...why not reference it here?

It does not seem that a reader searching for Snap-on is likely to make the mistake of looking for Snap instead. This page is to help resolve very frequent confusions or dual uses of the same word. The word Snap-on is unique and distinctive and is unlikely to have the problem of being mixed up with some other snap-on with different meaning, or being mixed up with snap itself.

Because it is not called "Snap".
