Also, on a square monitor tabs on the side will actually use up more vertical real estate unless you limit them to be very narrow, otherwise content may be forced to wraparound more often, negating any gains in vertical real estate..
They can still implement them as step functions, except implement them as dilations of existing seconds which computers already know how to compute. That is, instead of trying to modify EVERY piece of time-counting software to arbitrarily do something it was originally coded to throw an error on, just modify the primary layer so that the computer counts 2x clock cycles for 23:59:59 to increment to 00:00:00 instead of 1x clock cycles as usual. Every program running on that system would then keep correct time with the leap second added and without having to make a single modification to the software running on the system.
The reason the expression 4+3+2=()+2 is confusing to you ol' slashdotters is because you don't really understand what the equal sign means. You also apparently don't really grasp the concept of assignation.
The equals sign simply means "is equivalent to" or "can also be written as". 4+3+2 can also be written as ()+2 which can also be written as 9.
Assignation is denoted by a similar symbol made up of three parallel horizontal lines.
Don't confuse computer science with mathematics.
Also, this is simply executing a Fourier transform by taking advantage of the fact that the wavefunction evolves by periodically determining the position and then the momentum of an electron (equivalently the time and frequency). It is not actually computing anything other than the program it has been 'encoded' with physically.
It's non-programmable and data storage/access would still be an issue.

It's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to send data which tricks Firefox into believing it's time to update and installing malware.
