Lanlink Linking The Coasts

Dan Bricker writes "A guy in Parma Heights, Ohio has a website to promote an idea of linking the east coast to the west coast using standard off-the-shelf 802.11 equipment. He is aiming for a July 4th, 2006 first coast-to-coast ping. This project appears to be totally volunteer based, With no other stated reason than fun with pringle cans and bad weather, and do it just to do it. Can this be done? What real world applications does this have?"

Yes, there are large, often fundamentalist christian groups who consider that a woman can't choose whether or not to carry a child. I pity us if they ever come to power.
