Posted by Hemos on from the spreading-the-net-wide dept.

wireless junkie writes "NZ Herald has an article about a 3 sq km wireless network. Roaming, seamless handoff, VoIP, and its only the demonstration network. 100 sq/km coming soon (according to the RoamAD site) MiniStumbler on an iPaq shows a whole heap of signal on and near downtown Queen Street. All I want for Christmas..."

    Anyone here from New Zealand?

    Is it a nice place to live?

    My wife and I are thinking about leaving the USA for good and I've always heard New Zealand is nice. I've read that people who visit there never want to come home. Any truth to that?

    What is a "biggot"?

    From the context, I think it means someone who likes Big Macs, but I'm not sure. Doesn't the story take place in Starbucks? How did Macdonalds get involved!?

    It's a conspiracy!

    The only working definition of "grammatically correct" that I know is to take the "logically correct" sentence and to swap any two contiguous punctuation marks. Looks more like snobery than grammar to me.
