Seems another record has been set in the quantum key agreement race

http://www.vnunet.com/News/1141438

This time the distance is 100km

I'm constantly baffled about how the media embraces these news, just
look at the title "Hack-proof". 

*sigh*

This isn't quantum *cryptography*, its agreement of some bits, used
later in an OTP.
