'Limited' only when you *assume* that the machine is connected to the 
Internet. That's why I find it irritating when I have machines at 
office, connected in a LAN doing exactly what they are expected to do - 
but the network icon indicates there's something wrong or lacking. It's 
as if Internet is a must-have for a healthy network connection.

If there's a way to disable it, then it's OK. But I'd rather have it as 
a GUI option than edit/delete some file or remove a package.
