Networking again (Oct 14 2003 06:57 GMT) - A few days ago, I mentioned that I'd been having some horrifically complicated wireless networking problems with one particular PowerBook at home. In the middle of a random conversation at work today, someone mentioned KisMAC. KisMAC is typically described as a wireless stumbler -- a program that helps you discover wireless networks -- but it turns out that it's great for wireless network troubleshooting, too. I ran it and something jumped out right away. My base station was cycling through wireless channels -- 10, then 11, then 9, then back to 10 -- and another access point was cycling through exactly the same channels in exactly the same order, just a fraction of a second behind mine. |

In the fight for gay rights, students should show outrage (Oct 14 2003 06:56 GMT) - This summer, Senator Bill Frist announced his support for a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Watching him on television, I would have liked to react calmly and coolly, citing the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law, and denying that the Senator's Christian values should be imposed upon the rest of the country. |

College system is a social barrier (Oct 14 2003 06:56 GMT) - How does one explain the Princeton social scene? When trying to describe it to an outsider it seems but a parody of 1920s American society: "We spend our evenings in 19th century gothic mansions with libraries and antique pool rooms." While Prospect Street does fly the flag for much of the Princeton social life, freshman and sophomores pre-bicker/sign-in are lucky to have the added camaraderie of their own residential colleges. |
