    Wireless is coming, like it or not. Me personally I do not like it. To many holes for security and other headaches.

  2. Radically changed the department, huh by PhysicsGenius · · Score: 0, Troll
    So I expect we'll be seeing cures (instead of therapies) for schizophrenia and the like any day now, since they have this wireless network? Perhaps the physics department will formulate a ToE, thanks to the wirelessness of their computers? Or maybe the Philosophy department, with a big assist from the wireless network, will come up with a proof of God?

    Wireless network is far less radical than networking itself and even that didn't change the fundamental teacher-student nature of universities. Get over yourself.
