[olug] Cafe with WiFi in Omaha?

[Jesus Cash]

Wow, that's really cool. Now I'll just have to get some wireless gear.

I've been discussing wi-fi submerged areas with some people at work. I'm 
not too familiar with the tech at the moment, but let's say 
hypothetically that every building in a section of downtownh had wi-fi 
or something like it. I know the range isn't the greatest, but besides 
them handing out and setting static IPs (and what tech is really gonna 
do that for a large office?) could they really stop people for just 
bumming around their buildings and leeching their bandwidth?

BTW, I used to live a block away myself. Between the Healing Arts Center 
and the piano store.
