BR> Do hackathons normally have a local server? good question. given how hard/easy it is to get on the local net, i would expect most to have an AP/router. i have seen them at several yapc hackathons as there is always a few carried by hackers. why don't you ask the mit office we use for the room. if we need a bunch of wireless on in one room, would bringing a wifi router be a bad thing? it isn't evading security but ensuring more of us would be online. i note that several regular attendees bring laptops. how many of you connect easily to the mit net? thanx, uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Free Perl Training --- http://perlhunter.com/college.html --------- --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
