Are you kidding? Why do you think CP's latency just went up by a factor of 3?

I don't want more speed out of my Wi-Fi connection; it's already much faster than what my ISP can provide. I want reliability through a stronger signal.
Right now, I still haven't seen any significant difference in terms of reliability, having gone through 802.11b, g, n and ac routers over the years, and still often losing the signal to it momentarily, when sitting on the porch outside the house, essentially a few feet below and on a diagonal from the router. Perhaps 15 feet (top) in a straight line, going through a brick wall.
(And yes, not only have I gone through multiple routers, but I'm seeing the same with various laptops and tablets. Wireless simply sucks IMO.)

Nah. Wires for me. If I absolutely want to be outdoors, and wired, then the Ethernet-over-powerlines adapter I have works in the gazebo in the backyard.

I'll bet you had even better choices. So, taking a gamble that you wager options carefully.

It looks quite simple, isn't it ?
In about 30 minutes, you have satellites deployed.
It is a wonder how material science, computer simulation (finite element method/analysis), engineering methods for construction rapid prototyping and quality control and all the software engineering has improved in the last 50 years (*)

Herself has a sore throat, so I was searching our local supermarket websites for throat lozenges - the two tend to have different prices and I have to go to both anyway.
And the "related products I might like" on one site? Whisky, Brandy, Vodka, ...
I like the algorithm ...

No one drinks Irish whiskey (other than Bailey's, ie drowned with cream), so "whisky" is just fine in everyday use.

I love Irish whiskey, straight, on the rocks. So that's one.
By the way, the Gaelic word for 'water' is uisce. Guess how that's pronounced?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
