LA Cops get Wi-Fi Drive By Access
An anonymous reader writes "
A PC World.com article: "the Los Angeles Police Department plans to install 27 wireless local area networks (WLANs) at police stations throughout the city in the next three months, according to Roger Ham, deputy chief for communications at the LAPD.
Ham says he plans to equip police cars with handheld computers from Symbol Technologies. The handheld devices will be equipped with 802.11b WLAN cards that communicate in the unlicensed 2.4-GHz band with access points installed in police stations at a raw data rate of 11 megabits per second-far faster than the 19.2-kilobits-per-second throughput in the department's 800-MHz wide area network (WAN) installed by Motorola two years ago and covering the city.
Will Strauss, an analyst at Forward Concepts, called Ham's plan "a cheap way to get bandwidth" that would allow LAPD units to periodically pick up high-bandwidth data as they pass by police stations equipped with WLAN systems."
come on, this is getting pathetic
i get it all the time
FP? Well who's to blame now?
This is the first new, non-dupe, story in over 13 hours! *13* hours! Wow. Hope the new subscribers enjoy their early access to the fewer stories per day.
Or if it is served as gas - something the US and UK forces will probably discover soon.
Congratulations, friend. You've just made it to the terrorist list of the Office of Homeland Security.

Looks like we need a DDP/IP donut delivery protocol Mmm...donuts.

Please, this technology is just way to oppress a minority, for which they don't they have the authority.

If you're going to keep using this 'Please think about it...' troll tagline, you should at least get an account.
What is it with you people? Did your dad beat you upside your head when you were kid or are you just too stupid to understand this:
Saddam + Nukes = millions of dead Americans
When insane dictators develop weapons of mass destruction, pre-emptive war is the only realistic defense. Yes, it's too bad that people are dying, but better them than us.
Simple: in order to have a nuclear weapons program, Iraq would have to have a certain amount of electrical production power. It is demonstrable that if Iraq were to ratchet up every power plant to full capacity and turn off all unnecessary power consumption, they would not have had the kilowattage to do even the simplest refinement of uranium, let alone produce plutonium.
As someone who lives inside the TVA fence and within 10 miles of Oak Ridge, there is a reason the Y-12 and K-25 plants were put here (other than not giving a shit about the long term impact on the people and environment of Appalachia) -- lots and lots of New Deal electricity.
Comparing it to Windows will be a moot point, since El Dorado is going to have a 40% larger code base than XP.
Iraqi television has broadcast pictures of four American soldiers it says were captured in the southern city of Nasiriya.
Two of the prisoners, including a woman, appeared to be wounded. One was lying on the floor on a rug.
The four are believed to be the first coalition prisoners taken by Iraq.
They were questioned on air and gave their names, military identification numbers and home towns.
Two of them identified themselves as "Edgar from Texas" and "James Reilly, 31, from New Jersey".

They don't have nukes. The CIA has admitted this fact. They can't create nukes, they don't have the means.
Since I am not willing to fight I am a homosexual. Man, you are a real winner, you Fascist. Historical fact: Saddam Hussein was installed and supported with American money.
Put your money where your mouth is!

You said it. And I didn't really state that your homosexuality was related to your thoughts on war. Your reasoning and logic is fairly weak. Let me guess, you like to 'tinker' with computers but in reality have no formal training in Mathematics or Computer Science - right fag?
Nope. Degree in philosophy. Thesis on Wittgenstein'a truth tables and second order logic. Try again.
"Man, you are a real winner, you Fascist."
Might is Right.
See you at the gas chambers! You Nazi.

RESPOND TO THIS: In my original reply to you, I said that everyone already knew that Iraq wasn't making nukes. You replied to this by saying that Iraq wasn't making nukes. Why? I am curious. I don't see how you thought that statement needed to be repeated.
Nazism != Fascism. Those are not interchangable terms. But I'm curious, when the gas chambers do come back - why do you expect to be there? I mean, obviously, I'll be there overseeing the good lord's work but why are you going to be there? Do you have something to share about your hidden leanings?Laissez-moi vous donner un autre non-sequitur sur lequel vous pouvez examiner vos grandes puissances intellectuelles! D'ailleurs, j'ai un pénis, je l'ai employé sur votre mère la nuit passée!

You'll notice that there are no accent marks on my French because I actually know the language but I am not going to waste my time putting in the accents when all you're using is Babelfish. (If you replied with that horseshit without using Babelfish, and took the time to put in the accents, you're much more sad than I originally thought.)
