While surfing on Toms Hardware, I saw Asus's WiFi@Home campaign. Seems ideal and easy to setup for home users, most of whom dont have more than 11Mbps bandwidth coming in. Maybe if many more motherboard makers jump onto this, we'll have a bustling wireless nation!(okay, too imaginative). Or, will it be possible to write some software that can mesh network (a la MIT roofnet) these motherboards wirelessly? Then you can actually have a pretty big wireless hotspot where there are enough of these.

After looking at how many issues Star Wars Galaxies has, I was just wondering about what it takes to setup a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Specifically, I'm wondering about how an MMORPG would do if it was open source. It would be great if I could get some suggestions/thoughts about how an open source MMORPG would do. Would it attract lots of people (it being free)? How long would it take to set up such a system, writing the game from ground up or using existing open source projects(if any)? Will it ever be as good or better than existing MMORPGS? I'm betting on the fact that if people really want a good game, they would help write it, and hopefully, it would gather momentum like linux and become a BIG MMORPG. Yes, I have high hopes.
