A Wireless Network for a 4-Story Apt. Building?
zzzreyes asks: "I live in a 4 storey building, and pretty much everyone in this building is into gaming and computers. I have just received, through the death of a great aunt, about $7,000. I want to know how and what I should buy, to provide wireless access through out the whole building, so we can all share one connection. There are 6 double-room apartments on each side, and we only have four floors. I'll hopefully have access to the elevator shaft, in case I need it. Will $7,000 be enough?" How cheaply could you do something like this, assuming you had access to much of the building? What would be the best way to set up the access points to guarantee the best coverage for the whole building?
Wow, set me up at my house......!
I have no karma.
First post.
Arrgh matey!
Ocean is land, covered with water.
Go out and enjoy yourself. Go to Australia for 3 weeks and have a blast Do anything that you won't have the chance to do again, but don't blow the money on a network for the rest of your building!
Jesus! Hell, give me the money and I'll enjoy it for you!
Hello GNAA
You're gonna blow your $7K will on a network for your building? Invest it, man, then from your profits implement such a network. A big waste, IMHO.
A blog like any other.
are you the guy who sucked me off at the back parking lot at Arby's just outside of Atlanta last Tuesday?
Dude, If I had mod points I would give you an Underrated for effort! Great troll.
You make my penis very erect and I now desire to stroke it until I ejaculate all over my keyboard and kitten. Thank you kind sir for making me want to spew my cum all over the place! My kitten will certainly enjoy licking my cum off his fur coat as much as I do!
Is it good, or is it whack?
It is (or isn't) on teh spoke.
Don't forget that.
There's "Ask Slashdot" posts from the UK... Must be, since that's the only place that spells *story* as *storey*
storey (stor, str)
n. Chiefly British
Variant of story.

litigious bastards
suck it sco!
The part where you insist on clipping it out of context. Maybe you never noticed that that sentence fragment is prefixed by a qualifier. Perhaps it makes more sense if you put the qualifier at the end:
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed XXXX A well-regulated Militia [is] necessary to the security of a free State.
At the XXXX you can insert words along the lines of "if" or "while", to make the reformed sentence grammatically correct. And please note the very important phrase, "well regulated". Said regulations cannot, by definition, be infringing said right.
Read my journal and you will understand why my paraphrasing does not effect its intent.

With mortgages where you put down as little as 3% and the current interest rates SO SO SO low, now is the time to buy.
Infact, with rates this low, try to roll the closing costs into the mortgage. The rates are really that low. Don't see yourself staying in the area beyond 5 years? Get a 15 year ARM (instead of a 30 yr fixed) and get an even LOWER interest rate.
3 years ago I bought a town house. My monthly mortage (with 3% down and no PMI, due to some program they were running) including property taxes was less than what I paid for an apartment. And 3 times the space. 3 years later, my monthly outlay for housing has remained constant; apartment prices DON'T.
The appreciation on the town house has been significant; when everyone was losing money on tech stocks in 2001 and 2002 I was "making" money. Its probably what I will use as a downpayment for the house I'm looking to buy in a few months.
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
tra la la, you found Sahasrahla
Agreed. I just bought my first house last summer (June). It was a FHA loan that required 3% down. The purchase price of the house was 115,900. The seller arranged to pay closing costs up to $3000. I cut a check for $3600 and change at closing. My mortgage (sp?) payment including taxes, insurance and everything is less than $900 a month. To rent a comparable house would cost $1100+ in the same area.
If you don't mind staying in one place for a couple of years, that is definitely the way to go. Not to mention, after that you still have over $3000 to set up something wireless....
Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
For $7000, you could have a week with a hooker like Julia Roberts and still have some change left over for some coke! It's what your aunt would have wanted, respect her with some good old-fashioned sex-for-cash.

Or you could leave the country, isn't that the standard Republican line? "Love it or leave it." The only justice in being against the war all along is all the stupid ass Republicans in my state quit talking about politics at all (since a monkey could do a better job).
A cool 2 million for a studio in one of Trump's towers.
Or you could get a dictionary.

Americans have been misspelling so many words for so long
I've got a favorite phrase for times like these, and it goes like this: a dictionary describes a language; it does not define a language. A dictionary is a list of all the words its editors could think of, not a list of rules you must follow in order to communicate. In short, just because the dictionary says so doesn't mean it is so.
To say that something is misspelt requires the mutual adoption of a commonly agreed code which you are violating. The code used in the United States is different than the one used in Britain. They are very similar, so we are still able to communicate with limited confusion, but neither is more "right" than the other any more than Italian is a better than French.
For a historical perspective, most of the "American" variations came from the time when English orthography was not very well defined within England itself. Many words had several different variants, and the British settlers of America were used to certain variants that ultimately lost out back home. When they left, their variants were just as common as any other, and neither could be called a misspelling, even then.
Why are you so determined at being the fool?
Personally, I don't understand the comma between 'arms' and 'shall' at all.

I believe the part you're curious about, however, is the
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
part. Of course, writing the entire sentence is both gramatically and politically awkward.
I like how sometimes people post anonymously, and then respond to a reply to their post, this time with their nick.
