Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why

lessthan0 writes "Wi-Fi (802.11x) networks have been around long enough that many businesses and home users run their own. The first widely deployed standard was 802.11b, while most new hardware uses 802.11g. The latest 802.11n hardware is just around the corner. If you run an existing wireless network, is it time to upgrade?"

    What? You expect the editors to read their own site? You must be new here.

    Well, if you limit your sample size to the Jews and the Muslims in the Middle East, or the Irish protestants and Catholics in Ireland, I think that you can make the case that organized religion is not a good thing.

    If, however, you look at the facts - that these battles are more about the politics of power and control than they are about closely following the teachings of the various religious leaders of antiquity - is "religion" to blame there?

    Moreover, if you look at the persistence of good done in the name of pleasing God - not just from a Christian perspective, but as expressed in other organized religions as well, I think that you will find far more than is covered in the news. The list of good things goes on and on and on.

    Finally, listing the evil done by those who espouse atheism or anarchy would FAR eclipse the good done by those who eschew religion. That is not to suggest that atheists and anachists never do good, just that the logical outcome of their worldview does not intrinsically motivate them to do good, and therefore there tends to be less good done.

    But then, your ideas are more wittily expressed in a .sig than mine.

    Respectfully,
