I'm really lucky. I live in a house with two "rest rooms". That means I've been able to install the latest upgrades, including Common Relay Access Point Protocol Enhanced Redundancy. I even have the add-on Parallel Isomorphic Staged Synthesis for Protocol Operations Threshold (but that's only experimental - I'm a beta tester - they keep changing the targets and I miss a lot).

Why get a google router when you can probably turn on your wireless and get an access point from home already?
Or just drive a block down the street. That's how it is in vegas at least, people don't even bother securing their wireless.

It's like a disease, and what's sad is people don't even realize how serious it is. 8P

What's a wireless? Is that like using string? Does it need an elephant?



(only kidding... I suspect you haven't checked the Google link).
