This does everything a AP/Router should do and is the same size as the Apple power adapter. Not only is this great for the home, but its perfect for travel. I'd much rather have one of these then the AP I carry around..

] The FCC press release (in PDF format, no HTML) said that
] 255 MHz in the 5.470-5.725 GHz band are now available for
] unlicensed devices. This action will also harmonize the
] spectrum available for these U-NII devices throughout the
] world, enabling manufacturers to reduce product
] development costs by allowing the same products to be
] used in many parts of the world.
]
] The FCC is also requiring the items covered in IEEE
] 802.11h, which was developed to conform to European/World
] Radio Congress concerns, also apply to the lower indoor
] bands of 5.250-5.350 GHz as well as the new 5.470-5.725
] GHz bands: dynamic frequency selection (DFS) - a
] listen-before-talk mechanism — and transmit power
] control (TPC).
]
] That additional 255 MHz should translate into as many as
] 12 additional nonoverlapping channels for 802.11a, which
] already has 12 nonoverlapping channels. In a talk with
] Atheros that Glenn had recently, the company noted that
] bonding channels in 802.11a to create multiple channel
] throughput of 108 Mbps or higher has enormous potential
] because of the lack of channel overlap.

] At this level of performance, the PC would qualify as one
] of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world.

U:Looked up details on this because abaddon was calling bullshit on their numbers. Its 64 simple processors in an array, with 128k of (near) registers, all on one chip. Basically instead of using gate-space for branch prediction logic they are using it for ALUs. Its a good idea for specific applications which stand to benefit from this sort of optimization as opposed to what they do in your general purpose machines. Its not really the same as having a supercomputer in that these little processor elements are not as powerful as the P4s in your Beowolf Cluster by a very long shot. Thats not to say it isn't useful for problems in that space.

I'm still waiting to see someone provide an FPGA as a co-processor which can be used for optimized gate logic implementations of your problem that get swapped in and out like a virtual memory system. It will come someday.

Do some DNS queries that end with .net for some nonexistent domains.. They are all being responded to with an A record pointing to 64.94.110.11, which is a VeriSign search engine.

This is complete bullshit. This must not be allowed.
