They're analogue computers they can solve the thing they're setup to solve faster than a digital computer.
So for example, if you set up a system that follows an elliptical curve as a voltage (as opposed to calculating the values of the curve in the floating point unit of a digital computer), then it can crack elliptical curve cryptography a lot faster.

The buzzword these days seems to be to call these 'quantum' if the analogue aspect is the phase of a photon, but that's just marketing nonsense.
You do know that elliptic curve crypto isn't done on a real plane that can be approximated with floats or volts? It's done (or should be done) within a prime field. There is not a continuous analog representation that does that.
MS Word is still a complete mess when it comes to numbering sections and lists. This makes it unusable for writing technical books. Framemaker had a simple and powerful format for describing numbering sequences. It worked well. I haven't used it for a few years. Latext obviously gets it right. Why wouldn't it?
That's why I didn't know it. I'm am forbidden from keeping bees on my property by Hillsboro city code. I have no clue about beekeeping terms, except maybe for 'hive' and 'bee' and 'honey'.
To get an upgrade on an international (atlantic or pacific crossing) flight will cost you 30,000 points and $500. The points have no value without extra money.
Status is everything, points accumulate faster than you can spend them if you are a frequent flyer. With status you don't get a middle seat, you're first in line for upgrades, they don't bump you on overbooked flights. Status matters.
New music is unfiltered. The majority is crap being pushed by record labels. Some is good. Some is great. Most is not.
Music of previous decades has been filtered. You only hear the good stuff. Go back and look at the charts and radio play of the 60s, 70s and 80s. It's full of crap. But no one plays that any more, so you only hear or buy or download the good stuff from those decades.
From an information theoretic point of view, I would think you would want to clench your anus with 50% probability on each response, during calibration and use.
Last year: Hey Apple, you can't collude with other companies to prevent poaching from each other! This year: Hey Apple, you can't poach other company's employees!
Well which is it? Either you can hire other company's employees or you can't.
And you either do or don't. It's a 2x2 matrix. can't/do, can/do, can't/don't, can/don't.

I categorize kitchen appliances into two categories: Those that can make chicken wings and those that can't.
Only a chicken can make chicken wings.
What then is a true quantum computer?
All computers, all things, you, me, /., twinkies. They are all quantum.
They're analogue computers they can solve the thing they're setup to solve faster than a digital computer.
So for example, if you set up a system that follows an elliptical curve as a voltage (as opposed to calculating the values of the curve in the floating point unit of a digital computer), then it can crack elliptical curve cryptography a lot faster.

I'm aware of good music that isn't popular.
Thank you.
That's super.
Give yourself Global Services status instead. It's far more useful.

The Springer publications via the IACR prefer submissions to be in Latex.

I've got all the points and arse ache I need.
I want a status upgrade. PQMs or go away.
If you want it nice and clean, pay a curator.
People will upload crap. Your converters will introduce crap.
And if you take the time to explore new music, it still works. You still find new music when you try. The internetz helpz a lotz.

With latex stored, you can render to anything when the user requests it. odf, pdf, docx, bitmap, tex, GIF. Take your pick.
Push the techy stuff on the developer to make the user tasks no brainers.

Does latex support MS Office? If not then it's very impractical for 95%+ of users.
If I had this question, I would google before asking Slashdot and exposing my ignorance. There are lots of tools.
How is it impractical?
What's a super?
"Chris Cox, Facebook’s chief product officer ...."
There's also a Chris W. Cox, chief lobbyist for the United States National Rifle Association. Nothing but a meaningless coincidence, of course.
There are Cox Apples too.
Yarn on Hadoop where you can run Hbase, Cassandra, MongoDB, Rainstor, Flume, Storm, R, Mahout and plenty of other Yarn-compatible goodies.
It's also worth noting that Hortonworks and Cloudera
I know R. My wife has a Yarn store. WTF are those other things?

You mean a minority.
To be fair, the Christian bible says much the same sort of thing, but the correct implementation of God's will is spotty at best.
