Research Projects You Should Know About
Anonymous Coward writes "Here is a look at 10 current IT and network research projects, from active cookies to faster wireless LANs to the latest anti-phishing schemes, that could be making their way out of labs and into companies and homes soon." Still no virtual sandwich I see.
Those are the ones that weren't censored out, I assume. The real list goes something like this: 1- Virtual pr0n 2- More of the above 3- See one and two 4- Identity-theft wizard 5- 1,2,3.
Tell me something...it's still "We, the people"... right?
One of the ten research projects is "Human beings that live in computers."
/. started this in 1997.
Interesting idea, but not original:

...not really bandwidth, but storage.
I've been lucky to head to a couple of optics conferences, and with the keynote presentations that has been the one surprising thing (to me as a layman) that comes up time after time.
10Gbps throughput via optics is great; in fact, with the use of optics, the amount of data that can be collected for, say, scanning living tissue, is enormous. Finding a storage mechanism large enough and fast enough to store seemingly infinite amount of information, though, have been the researchers' concern.
What did they think was a solution for this? You guessed it, optical storage.
