802.11g... It's Official

JoeBuck writes "This article in CommsDesign reports that the IEEE has officially approved the IEEE 802.11g standard, as well as another standard (802.15.3) for shorter-range, very-low-power operation. Two other standards designed to improve compatibility between different vendors' access points were also approved."

Start the hype engines

So, pretty soon we're going to be able to pay more for equipment that's moderately faster, doesn't go as far, and costs more. Oh, and doesn't have jack in terms of linux/*bsd support.

F33r! Terra! The hype is coming!

fuck you. your shit is exactly what perpetuates that sort of thinking. Anyone who is offended needs to just cool the fuck off and let the word become freely used. I seem to recall it worked pretty well with the fags. They call each other fags, and use the term with pride. Yet I don't see anyone being reprimanded by fags for calling fags fags, because the fags made the word fag unoffensive by making it not matter. Clamoring for special usage of a term is ineffective and sets us back hundreds of years. And I have previously lived in San Francisco, so yes i've known enough fags to know from experience.
