If I go up the window on my house with my laptop running inSSIDer, I can see more than 30 networks on 2.4GHz, most of them on channel 1.

If I switch to 5GHZ, I see only one network, mine :). I bought a half-mini pci ABGN wireless card for less than $20 on eBay, and a used Cisco E3000 for $60 (then installed TomatoUSB). I know have a network without noise.

not bad I think, especially for my 7MPG vehicle!

I agree, I am like the OP, hacker who got a master's in CS, and I code roughly the same, by intuition.

I am sure China will have a colony on the moon before the USA have one...

It's a nice read, but this could only happen in 1st world countries, not 2nd and 3rd.
