 Wap11Hack - Seattle Wireless
There is an interesting hack where you can load the D-Link firmware onto a WAP-11 ver 2.2 (Wap11Ver22Hack) and get it to go 22Mbps (6Mbps real world) right now, and soon 44Mbps (12Mbps real world) when D-Link releases the new ver 2.4 firmware.
The highest output power (100mw supposedly) is at hex value 80, and as you change the value (in either direction) from 80, the power output drops linearly (so 7A and 86 are the same power output).
This is 16 less than the value for 50mW (0xFF or 255), and since we increase TX power as the value is reduced we get: (60*0.4)+50=56.4mW.

As you can see, the values for the variables are put in place of the variables that were referenced in the $(variable_name) context.

 IPcentral Weblog: Write Your Own Darn Game (just for hack value)
Game company Blizzard has won their contract and DMCA case in District Court against three defendants who reverse-engineered Blizzard software (among other things) to set up their own gaming network on which to play Blizzard games.

The alternative network was particularly annoying to Blizzard because play on it was not restricted to those with a valid CD key--that is, pirated copies could be played on it.
