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?
I only get one per day...
Wireless Networking.
What is it all about?
Is it good, or is it whack?

Fuck all of the following failures:
GNAA, BPAA, ECFA, CLIT, TrollKore, TrollTech, anti-slash, and anyone else I forgot.
Offended? FOAD. I'm an equal opportunity hater -- anyone and everyone is the object of my scorn. Trolling always has been, and will be, an independent endeavour.
just wait for 802.16a... 802.11 is going to start dieing a very slow and painful death
eat me, bite me, suck me... my clit that is

And what do you know about this person's life that you're telling them where to spend his money?
Seriously, one of my pet peeves is when people think they know better what to do with someone's money than the owner.

YOU FAIL IT!
Remember.. If you buy a house for $230k and the housing market in your area takes a downturn, you may find yourself OWING the bank money after you sell the house. Just like any investment, you can get hosed on housing.
Oh, the bitter irony - I notice that right wingers tend to be those who tell how they should spend their money, and yet are also the ones who object when governments (through taxation) tell them how to spend their own money.
Difference: The poster can tell us to go to hell. If we did that to the government, we go to jail.
