Will Cellular Swamp WiFi?

hhutkin writes "Sure, Wi-Fi is great for my home network. But what else can it do? After reading this article, I'm convinced that cellular is becoming more ubiquitous with wireless networking than wi-fi will ever be. Just look at all the devices that are coming on the market using cellular technology. I can send email and pics, browse the web, plus listen to MP3s all on one cellular device. It makes the notion of a hotspot almost meaningless." But 802.11x is high-bandwidth, and often unmetered ...

    I am here today to dicuss my discust with Gentoo Linux! Why can't they make a version of XFree86 that works! I have now threw by gentoo disc in the bin and have installed a REAL linux distribution.

    It's not linux that is not ready for the desktop, it is half assed distros like gentoo, debian and gnu/hurd that are not ready for the desktop.

    I am now comforatble on my shiny new gnome desktop which unlike the gentoo version, dosen't slow to a halt when a cron job is runining.

    Support Qualtity, it may not be free, but you DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

      Who the hell told you that GNU/Hurd is ready for lowly desktop users such as yourself?

      It's not aimed at you. It's aimed at intelligent people.

    Dear rotten.com,

    I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
    Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/ and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.
    FYI the text representation of the bird is:
    *p_e_n_i_s_b_i_r_d_p_e_n_i_s_b_i_r_d*

    Do you also smell the plastic, obnoxious odor of astroturf reeking off this article? I did, too. So I did a quick search on the guy who submitted this article, hhutkin here on Slashdot. See the stinky results: http://slashdot.org/search.pl?query=hhutkin
