University Bans Wireless Access Points
Slayk writes "The University of Texas at Dallas has adopted a policy of disallowing the use of 802.11b/g access points outside of those used for the campus-wide wireless network. While they have an understandable concern with ensuring the accessability of the school network, the rights of the students to use the unlicensed 2.4GHz spectrum in the privacy of their own apartment are obviously being regulated by a body that is not the FCC. Students have until the 15th of September to comply with the policy, disable their wireless equipment, and string cat5 over the floor, or be subject to 'disciplinary action.'"
Leave Wi-Fi alone!

If an RA walks past your door and smells pot, they have two options: 1) Knock on the door and ask to come in to inspect what is going on; or 2) Call the police.
You're forgetting
(3) Knock on the door and say "If you share your pot with me, I wont (2)"
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
Hm, yes, that does look pretty promising for the tenant.
*awkward pause*
Well, that was interesting.
*further awkward pause*
Well, I guess I'll be off home, then.
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
