The researchers then measured the first atom, thus destroying the delicate quantum information it contained, and also destroying the entanglement. That left the original qubit intact in only the second, recipient atom, completing the teleportation.
If this works, then theoretically couldn't an attacker entangle a third qubit with the original two, measure that (and destroy the entanglement), and leave the two originals unchanged?
(yes I know there's a prodigious amount of handwaving here, but it's *entangled* handwaving)
The OS X dock violates most of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. It's not "Mac Like", unless you expand the definition of "Mac Like" to include "looks cool". Which Steve Jobs might want to do, but I don't.
It's a huge step backwards from the NeXT dock and shelf, as well.
So the ONLY distinctive thing that matters about the dock is, well, how it looks. And that's also the only distinctive thing about the new Windows task bar. And, damn, they look the same.
If [A] piracy is a problem (represents lost sales, etc.) and [B] DRM is the correct response to this problem, then it does not follow that a system using a rather strict form of DRM would charge more per track.
You see this weird relationship in eBooks too. The DRM-protected books always seem to cost more, even when the same book is available DRM-protected at one site and unprotected at another.
It's all about a massive astroturf campaign against Google by AT&T, Microsoft, and others. It names names, quotes papers, cites campaign contributions.
Or should you have written "Hello, I post on Slashdot, so I think actually reading the article is lame"?
Hello Astroturfer! This isn't about "who's good" or "who's bad", this is about "what are the consequences".
What are the consequences of Google's actions? What are the consequences of Microsoft's actions?
What have they done in the past?
What would Google do to Yahoo's products like Yahoo Widgets or del.icio.us if they bought it? What would Microsoft do?
What did Google do to YouTube, or anything else they've bought?
What did Microsoft do to Hotmail? Well, they spent three years trying to convert a working UNIX-based environment over to Windows and finally declared victory using a UNIX hosted on Windows. Then they used it as a platform to push their proprietary "Passport" scheme.
As for Stallman, he's pulled enough dodgy stuff himself. GCC pulled a classic "embrace and extend" attack on competing open source C compilers (yes, there used to be several). He decided he didn't like Tcl and created a scheme to kill Tcl based on a scheme interpreter called "Guile". Take anything he says with a grain of salt.
I'm not installing any silverlight or faux-silverlight moonlight crap until there's an equivalent plugin as there is for flash: flashblock.
That's half the battle, for damn sure.
I'm not installing it until there's a hard sandbox. How's that code verifier going, Miguel? It seems to be sufficiently dodgy to keep server types from accepting CIL, so why should people running browsers be any more trusting?
Since Professor Brown is obviously using Steampunk technology (look at the ending to the final BTTF), it seems clear to me that the solution to this problem is that the Time Machine is carried along in the Earth's "Aether Drag", the distorting effect that any large mass has on the Luminiferous Aether!

Are video games an endangered species in Oklahoma? Why do they need tax breaks?
I think you're reading more into my posting than I thought I put there.
Looks like President Medvedev of Russia and President Obama of the United States have something in common.
Having chatted with elbot, I have to say that they must have had some pretty dense testers.
Do they resent paying for petrol to drive to cases? Surely any garage that can't afford to fuel their cars for free can't afford to stay in business.

Perl and Ruby are the same class of language as C.
Perl and Ruby are much higher level languages than C. They're no Lisp, but they're nothing like C.

You sure got played!
If you want Pagerank to rank you up, you have to get links. What would encourage people to link to Britannica?
Well, I guess we have one answer.
This could be very interesting.
It's like Encyclopedia Galactica taking on the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Read The Fine Article.

Once this is combined with Dr Schlock's inflatable technology, Zuul will be unleashed as a giant intelligent edible marshmallow.
If you don't like a the government's CTO's directives, and you ignore them, you get fined and go to prison.
Aren't you missing "and you work for the Government" in there somewhere?

Bad Analogy Man can't tell the difference between buying durable goods and watching television!

In some ways, it's an evolution of the strategy that was pioneered long ago by GNU with embedded Scheme.
Guile was developed as a deliberate response to the early success of Tcl and Tk as an embeddable desktop application language.
Crediting Guile as a "pioneer" is, well, odd.

They use ducted plasma transmission, obviously, just like the Enterprise's replicators.
So all those companies that have a CTO are communist?
No, really, what the hell are you talking about?
I'd have more faith in the competence of a Mars project that didn't need to use two Flash applets to get the effect of 20 lines of CSS.
But are the others some part of a movie producer conspiracy to artificially hype the movie?
Insufficient evidence, perhaps. But "insufficient evidence" doesn't mean "of course not". There's insufficient evidence either way.
Just so long as we haven't been sold to the Hirogens yet. That would suck.
