Bandwidth does keep getting cheaper, but mobile bandwidth is different.

There is a finite amount of spectrum that is suitable for mobile, and it has a fixed capacity dictated by the Shannon limit.

The only way to increase mobile bandwidth is to increase the density of the base stations or the amount of spectrum used whereas increasing bandwidth to a fixed location is simply a matter of more wires/fiber.

After Learning Java Syntax, What Next? 293

Niris writes "I'm currently taking a course called Advanced Java Programming, which is using the text book Absolute Java, 4th edition, by Walter Savitch. As I work at night as a security guard in the middle of nowhere, I've had enough time to read through the entire course part of the book, finish all eleven chapter quizzes, and do all of the assignments within a month, so all that's left is a group assignment that won't be ready until late April. I'm trying to figure out what else to read that's Java related aside from the usual 'This is how to create a tree. This is recursion. This is how to implement an interface and make an anonymous object,' and wanted to see what Slashdotters have to suggest. So far I'm looking at reading Beginning Algorithms, by Simon Harris and James Ross."

and how much does everyone make?

I've got an ee degree but have not specialized: java programming, control systems, worked for a utility, RF networks, etc.

I like it all, but I know I'm a piss poor java coder when I see the stuff other people put out, so would not want to be depending on that for my family's meal ticket.

mikrotik are a bunch of latvian asshats. Their software has lots of features that are half implemented and partially tested. I'd wager they are GPL violators as well. The mikrotik routerboards are pretty solid though. can't say the same for their wireless cards, get ubiquity wireless cards.

That being said mikrotik routerboards hit the price point. That being said I can't wait for ubiquity products on OpenWRT (I think airos is based on openwrt?) to overtake them for usable features.

If linux can do it, so can all these devices that run linux.
