2007.07.12 @ 18:53:23 Why wires win

So I have this thing. I like wireless stuff, like my laptop, my cell phone, etc. But. Given the option, I'll always go for a wire. For example, I would <insert conditional here>never</conditional> use wireless for my desktop computer, the hard wire is always faster, more reliable, less subject to interference, etc. I know some folks who fall in love with wireless internet, such as the city of Tempe's wifi network. Yeah, it's a nice idea. In fact, right now due to the lack of motivation of our telco/cable/power companies to roll out really good internet access, the wireless access is in many cases as fast as wired. But I see things like this Slashdot article, an I have serious doubts wireless will ever achieve this. But maybe it will someday, and I'll be eating my words. I still doubt it thou.
