Every additional qubit doubles the computing power, so these quantum computers could outperform any existing classical computer, the researchers say.
As all the photons are entangled with the same electron it simply means that 1 qubit is going to be easier to read because it is being represented by multiple photons and an electron the idea that the more photons you entangle the more qubits you get is nonsence because they are all essentially linked so any change on one will be mirrored on the others
My experience is the Duct Tape Programmer writes the worst kind of spaghetti code in the world. The best way to deal with someone who is over engineering the system is for his project manager & team leaders to do their job and shoot him down to size!
I have no problem with MS making money, neither do I have a problem with games that do ads whilst they load or move from Level to Level/Area to Area as these normally require load time anyway. What I do have a problem with is waiting more than twice the normal load time for some advert to finish which is hardly going to be targeted at me as I generally make sure any info they get off me is going to be way off par for marketing purposes. If they are lucky they may figure out what country I'm in!
It's called Evolution if there is any kind of advantage (Which outweighs any disadvantages) to the mutation it stands a chance of progressing and becoming widespread. Hence viruses that are immune to most variants of penicillin and bugs that are immune to pesticides. One must say that this doesn't always track though see http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyperry3/Blue_Fugates_Troublesome_Creek.html although this involved a very small population who were cognescent.
Well if their maths is correct a $5milion dollar plant should produce 30,000 to 50,000 barrels of oil per year so one of these sites for each waste disposal site in the US (Which I'm going to take a wild guess at least 200) is at least 6Milion to 10milion barrels per year which can't be all that bad even if that's just what the US uses in a week (Again another wild guess).
There is a lot of DC that I've never seen, but I was wondering where they found those vacant lots with trees where they were able to set up a couple tractor trailer loads of tanks and catwalks. I'll check the yellow pages for propane/LNG wholesalers....
I'm sure it must get a mention in the latest Dan Brown book as some kind of conspiracy involving the Freemasons trying to undermine the Oil Cartels.
Actually it's pretty much the other way around the fact that M$ doesn't yet support the processor is down to M$ not Arm. I suspect there are a couple of factors here firstly M$ PPC software supports older ARM processors & secondly it's just a case of re-tooling some of M$'s compilers to support the new processor and recompiling. However how it's going to support non.net/java windows software is another matter.
I still find it hard to believe that anyone can make enough money from advertising along to support something the size of these sites...
Actually the advertising revenue will largely go up in proportion to the size so basically the more muppets you have on your social networking site the more adverts you can deliver and the more money you can make. HTH
Agreed. I can do most things in AI but for motivation I don't even know where to start!
BTW/. can we fix this thing that tries to slow down your posting I realise you are trying to curb flame wars but I'm getting pretty tired of watching that submit button count down!
How do you motivate an AI program? I mean I can give them doubt & uncertainty quite easily but for motivation all I can think of is the inexorable progress of the PC register which is just the program behind the scenes ticking over.
Can't we just patent the process of setting up a patent with the sole intention of suing others for breaching it and then sue the trolls? Or would this fall down because of prior art?
That's purely because it's a lot cheaper to print in black & white. Colour TV didn't take off until lots of people had colour TV's. I agree though most recreational reading will not benefit from colour. But Textbooks, Manuals & anything that requires illustration will find it tremendously helpful.
We don't have attention spans long enough for story ideas that cannot be swiftly resolved with guns.
Poppycock I'm tired of watching stupid shite that's been dumbed down by some idiot producer who assumes that everyone else is dimmer than he is the 40 Watt waste of space.

When there's no need for the inheritance it qualifies as spaghetti code

I live in London I don't think the kids round here even know what stars are!
Yup already acknowledged my mistake to the other reply
oops sorry my mistake must cut down on liquid lunch :)

I was always led to believe that Cockroaches favourite food was dead Cockroach go figure.
Surely that would be against the discrimination laws in most civilised countries.
That got re-branded PPC (which I referred to) thanks though

Actually it can be traced back to medieval times because Raymond Lull http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Llull used the technique extensively.

Then there is the cyber angle. I suspect America could be pwned quite quick.
Bearing in mind just about every router/switch in the US Gubment has "Made in China" on them do you honestly think there are no back doors?

Hmmm no C64 basic???? :)
Surely this should be a selling point
Tempted to start boning up my 6502 skills haven't used them in about 20 years
How is having Credit Card going to help if it's stolen by the mugger??? :)
Of course they might spend less than my other half
"Overwhelming Evidence"???
I invoke the theory of indeterminacy!! Remember you are not reading this!!!!
