I use Cradle Point [http://cradlepoint.com/] gear for a lot of applications that are fixed. Most models have some sort of built-in ethernet switch, so you can add in whatever gear or use the robust built-in features. I deal with a lot of locations where wired bandwidth is either wholly unavailable or prohibitively expensive, so we take what we can get from WISPs and cell providers and often use a fail-over setup to mitigate down time. I know they make in-vehicle systems and my colleagues have used them for outfitting law enforcement vehicles and boats.

I love the chess allusion :)

Technically that is a dominant firm oligopoly, not a monopoly, is the point--picky, picky.

Are you using Chrome? I just noticed them running through the comments as well--very annoying.

I have not read the comics, but I did go to see the move the weekend before last. I enjoyed the film overall and thought it was entertaining. I really loved Rorschach throughout the entire movie and found the scenes with him to be the most enjoyable. I did not love the film; however, I thought the plot was very predictable and forced in a lot of areas. I'm sure; as with most film adaptations, that there was a lot to pack into a small amount of time. Miss Jupiter's scenes were the worst in that regard--so much back-story and so little time involved in unfolding it. If I had read the comics, I'm sure I would have loved it. I have not read the comics though and now I can only say that it is a relatively entertaining action flick that forces you to think about some larger philosophical questions.

If you have to pay for power and/or have to deal with the environmental aspects of living/working near the multiple machines (heat, noise, etc.), then I would also suggest a single box.
