Hope everyone is really happy (Score 1)

I am a UTD student that lives in the much discussed Waterview aps. As far as I'm concerned everyone who has been bitching about not being able to use their wireless routers are a bunch of greedy, lazy, better-offs with no concern for the other students who live in the apartments here on campus. Yes fellow students, I'm talking to YOU. First of all, "rogue" access points in a wireless network cause problems. There really isn't much to argue about. Interference issues, access point jumping, whatever. Radio waves don't stop for sheet-rock walls. Secondly, this is a UNIVERSITY. Not everyone here can afford dsl/cable. Some of us can barely pay for school. $50 extra a month is a lot, it's like $600 a year for those of us who live here all year round (most do). But ALL the students here deserve to get the access that our tuition and fees are paying for. Everyone (especially CS/EE students) need internet access to upload assignments. For some classes, that is the ONLY way to turn them in. How many things do you depend on internet access for? How important is it to check e-mail and announcement pages regularly for you as a student? How does it make you feel to think that you could be depriving somebody of that? Is it so damn hard to run a few network cables so the 4 foreign girls escaping oppression next door can upload their assignments from the comfort of there apartment just like your fat, lazy ass? "But people can still use it"--Many can still use the wireless network, but there are many who can't. Those who can have all kinds of problems, some which would be aleviated if the rogues were shutdown. As far as "Rights" are concerned, I'd be the first one to take up arms against the oppressors. In fact, that's what I feel like I'm doing right now. All those excuses about privacy and "the Principle of it" are a crock of shit and every one of you knows it. Maybe if this was a non-affiliated apartment complex that was forcing occupants to use it's wireless network for a hiked fee, but it's NOT. Like I said it's a UNIVERSITY with a very legally bizarre on-campus living situation. No legal precedence are going to be set in this situation. Oh, and for anyone that's interested, the FCC didn't breathe down anyone's neck. The IR head saw discussions on this site and others. He knew he could win if he fought it, but knew it wouldn't be worth the cost. So I hope everyone is real happy.
