Agere Systems Inc. is demonstrating at Comdex this week a wireless LAN technology capable of transmitting data at 162 Mbits/second in the 5-GHz frequency band, three times the throughput achieved with an 802.11a device.
Forgot to ask everyone if they've replace their possibly trojanized libpcap and tcpdump code?
Apparently they developed it and tested it on concentration camp prisoners.
The prisoners apparently were able to carry 50lb packs for almost 60 miles without rest...

...quantum encryption guarantees absolutely secure optical communications.
Three independent experiments recently have demonstrated such systems. Geneva-based id Quantique SA encoded a secure transmission on a 70-kilometer fiber-optic link in Europe; MajiQ Technologies Inc., here, used a 30-km link; and researchers at Northwestern University (Evanston, Ill.) demonstrated a 250-Mbit/second quantum encrypted transmission over a short link.
