Comments like this show up in nearly every thread about wifi, and it's about time people stop modding them up. Ethernet is not a direct substitute for wireless networking. If it was, wifi never would have been invented.

The advantages of wireless are pretty obvious, and the disadvantages are pretty minimal. The 600 Mbits/sec an n-router provides is more than enough for most uses, and most people don't actually need unbreakable encryption.

Of course wired LAN is still relevant, but suggesting everyone revert just because is trite and pointless.

The newly seeing adults might, once they get over the shock and realize they still can't get a driver's license, engage in sports or many other everyday activities to the same extent as normally sighted people.

Just because we've made progress doesn't mean there isn't more to be done.

The Madden and NCAA football franchises are among the hugest game franchises ever, and from what I've seen they're popular with people who enjoy playing and watching real football. Multiplayer sports games in general are a major segment of the video game market, so there's no reason to believe there would be no interest in sports MMOs.

You could (and people do) say the same thing about Guitar Hero. Playing guitar well is hard, and so is playing real baseball. Guitar Hero proved that people can have fun with a simplified version of a real life hobby if the learning curve is easy enough and the interface is a close enough approximation of the real thing. In fact, pretty much every video game ever simulates something you could do in real life if it were so inconvenient, dangerous, or time consuming.

Just because a game doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean someone else can't have fun with it.

If you haven't noticed any technological advancement since 1999, perhaps you should try opening your eyes sometime.

My Oxford American Dictionary has four definitions for "censor" and another for censorship. This event isn't an example of the one definition you chose.

What's your point again?

I guess you haven't heard of nuclear power then. I hear that it's not only more scalable than windmills, but more reliable to boot!

The type of person who would make a spontaneous commodities investment at a vending machine probably isn't the type of person who's concerned with those kinds of details.

Agreed! On top of that, what so bleeding difficult about walking the 3-5 miles to the bank? I mean, it's not like walking for miles at a time is outside the ability of any healthy adult. Must your locomotion always be dependent on some shiny car with comfortable, heated seats?!?!?

Not only do people have to work on their patience , people should follow your example and strive to avoid technology all together!
