Convinience, I would be interested in this, not only because its easy to share files on my network, but i could just walk it into work and share files on the wireless network, or at my friends house. Also, I have several computers in fixed locations connected wirelessly, the cost of wiring the house was MUCH more costly than buying a router and 2 pci adapters, plus now that I have a laptop and the TIVO connected wirelessly its all worth it. Mac address filters keep it just as secure as any wired connection.
JUNIOR? I know people who are far out of college and know less of the world than I do. Its about how open your eyes are, and in this country people seem to like to walk around with them shut. I only spent a year at college but I still opened my eyes and saw I was wasting my time there for many reasons. Now I have a better tech job than most of my friends will when they graduate in 2 years.;-D Rather than hoping RIT (god forsaken place. ..) would place me at graduation I got an internship at a tech firm, showed them that I had techinical know how, and wanted to do a more technically oriented job. Now I am a sysadmin, making great pay for my lack of "education". I've also learned more about the way a business works, unix, and programming in the last year, than my "collegues" have in the last two years. Lesson learned: School isn't always the best way to prepare yourself for the future. .. Also - - what kind of comp sci program doesn't even introduce unix to students before their senior year of college (and possibly not even then). . . a friend of mine didn't knwo what I was talking about when I was discussing linux and he is a 3rd year comp sci major - talk about being unprepared for the job market.
if a company does not profit it cannot pay its employees, it cannot expand, it cannot research new areas. Once a company has profit it can spend that money on something else. Why do you think all the dot coms failed? NO PROFIT
I have been knwon to download 10 gbs or more in a month through comcast and that doesn't inlcude my brothers computer usage. I have never recieved a violation (or if so I have never been informed by my dad which is HIGHLY unlikely), however the other day I was watching the mac keynote speach and suddenly I had to watch it on 112 kbps instead of 560 or whatever because I all the sudden had "insufficient bandwidth". Are bandwidth issues handled by saying, ok now you can only transfer x amount of data at once because you were too greedy? I still have several torrents going and get decent speeds. . .
