Also, with the number of wireless signals that are not wi-fi (wireless tv cameras, walkie-talkies, microphones, emergency dispatch, etc.), it would be very easy for a signal in an unauthorized bandwidth to take down something critical.
I know a bit about this, but this post is a bit more informative. http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/xjads/something_you_wont_see_on_tv_this_is_the_olympics/c5mz1h3

Printing plastic costs about $20 per pound, so you could probably print the whole set for about $10-$15. Getting a 3D printer is getting cheaper and cheaper these days. I'm going to be building my own in the next couple of months for about $700, but they can be made for as little as $400.

Professor Stanley Lombardo from the University of Kansas does similar readings from the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aenead. Often, he will begin the stories in Latin or Greek, then after a page or two, he will start over in English. I have had the privilege of hearing him do these readings, and it is incredible how the languages flow together.

I hope I'm not too late for this. I was introduced to D&D three days before Gary Gygax died. Since then, I have wanted to have my own set, but as a college student have been unable to afford one for myself. As much as I would like it for myself, though, I have another reason for wanting the set. My brother has issues with executive processing, meaning that given a set of choices, he will usually either make no choice or go down the worst path possible, without realizing the consequences. I hope that by role-playing in a non-threatening environment, he may be able to overcome some of those mental blocks in real life. If I got the set, I would give it to my brother for his birthday, so he, my parents, and I could play together.

Also, does anyone else find it unusual that we aren't allowed to pick a funny shirt over $25, but the most expensive shirt is $17.95?
