I am currently taking my 3rd year of a B.Sc. specializing in Bioinformatics, which sounds pretty close to some of the things you mention. Bioinformatics deals mostly with the compilation and analysis of the raw data that is coming from the many sequencing projects. From the seqences, it is possible to predict protein sequences, similarity of genes between organisms, etc...
I haven't looked around at the job prospects too much, but I hope to get into the research aspect of it some day. Bioinformatics is a relatively new field, and many new developments are made all the time. I think it would be rewarding to take part in the new discoveries of this field.

Ignoring the validity of the patent, IEEE was aware that it might be needed. http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/loa-802_11a-csiro-04Dec1998.pdf
Exactly. I can get around 2.5 hours on my laptop with a 62-watt mobile Athlon 64, so the battery life shouldn't be too bad.
Not too ironic. It would be hard to get the client if you didn't already have an older version ;)
