Quantum encryption seems to fill a very particular niche (point to point communications) and doesn't seem to apply well to common encryption use cases (SSL , email encryption etc).
If public key encryption is broken, quantum encryption isn't going to be a good replacement for it for most things.
No not even close. the GDP is not just some abstractly valued thing it's the income. so it's more like your income rising, which is exactly how you qualify for a larger loan.
What, no car?
You seem to have missed the point of my little allusion which was not intended to provide a precise analogue to GDP but to point out the danger in being comfortable with a level of debt because you assume the world will continue to operate as it has done.
Many people have taken on excessive debt because they thought ever increasing house prices would keep them safe. They were wrong and it hurt them badly.
Similarly, relying on never ending GDP increases to keep the debt "manageable" is not a good idea. A recession can change the game quite considerably.
Clutch in the vehicle will need to supply some fuel to keep the engine spinning at minimum revs.
If the clutch was engaged when coasting then the cars momentum could keep the engine turning without requiring any fuel at all.
I'd have thought A vaguely modern car's ECU should be able to drop fuel delivery to zero if you are coasting with the clutch engaged. Why put any fuel in at all if the engine is turning above minimum revs and the driver isn't asking for power with the accelerator?
With the end of year approaching it's reasonably likely that the frequency and severity of alcohol consumption will steadily increase for the next few months.
Your house might interpret your state as a physical and mental decline rather than a mere seasonal variation and bump you off early on the first of January.
Of course when you wake up with that hang over you might wish it had, however it's only a short term feeling and you'll forget about it in time, certainly by the following New Years Day.
You can download the entire.Net framework and compilers free of charge from Microsoft, and you can get cut down versions of the VS IDE as well (or you can use SharpDevelop). In short, you most certainly can get started (and infact progress as far as you wish) in.Net development without ponying up anything to MS.
Are you permitted to commercially distribute what you create with those versions?
Perhaps you can but I was under the impression you couldn't. Perhaps more research (wasted time) would have revealed otherwise but an obviously free version was a better option.
I don't want to run my stuff on Microsoft technologies but I have potential (and actual) customers who already do use them.
In order to integrate their application and ours we needed to code a little plugin to run on their ASP.NET (or whatever the correct name is) servers.
Mono allowed me to develop the required plugin on a Ubuntu box. (They then wanted the resulting assembly signed, we gave them the source code so they could do it themselves).
Microsoft was relevant to us because we had a potential customer who used it and isn't about to abandon their entire existing system just for us.
Without Mono there would have been two options: a) Pony up to MS to develop in.NET b) Don't do the business. neither of which are particularly appealing.
The shitty lenses on phones etc typically don't justify more pixels, they seem to be there to look good on the box.
If they aren't trying to cram as many pixels as possible onto the sensor (or whatever it is) perhaps it can instead be targeted at producing a decent image, especially in lower light conditions, rather than a big one.
As far as I can see the price of internet in hotels has nothing to do with the underlying internet providers and everything to do with the hotel owning the ethernet jack or wireless access point.
but to guarantee 50% while other students are giving and earning 100% annoys me to no end
It's the students that are trying hard and only getting 60% that could be hurt by this. A 'free' 50% means their is little reward for their hard work and little incentive to continue putting in.
I can certainly see that giving students an incentives not to give up is a good idea, but it's something that needs to be done carefully.
If the tools aren't working well for people then the design of the tool is wrong.
If you build a ATM (cash dispenser) that spits out the money before it returns the card then you'll find that a not insignificant number of people leave the machine without retrieving their card. In their brains the task they are doing (getting money) is complete so they walk away.
Thus cash machines return the card first and then give you your money.
You have to design things to work the way real people work. Calling people idiots is just a cop out.
Gravity is a fact, the Newton's Theory of Gravity is an explanation of the mechanism by which it works.
Evolution is a fact, Darwin's Theory of evolution is an explanation of the mechanisms by which it happens.
There are multiple theories attempting to shed light the phenomena of gravity, Newton's theory, general relativity, quantum gravity.
Evolution is an even more complex phenomena, the result of a whole heap of driving forces and facilitators. It probably makes more sense to talk of the "Theory of Evolution" as a field rather than a single theory.
"Concluding, I tell the American people: God willing, we will continue to fight you. We will continue the martyrdom operations inside and outside the United States until you end your injustice, abandon your stupidity, and curb your insolent fellows. You should know that we count our killed ones, may God have mercy on their souls, particularly those killed in Palestine at the hands of your allies, the Jews. So, we will punish you for them, God willing, just as what happened during the New York day. Just remember what I told you at the time about our security and your security."
..and wrongly so, because GPL doesn't cover use, just distribution.
Well, in certain cases (see GPL 2 section 2c) displaying information about copyrights and licensing to end users is required by the GPL 2.
However there is no requirement to make an end user "agree" to the licence. Anyone who displays the information in that way is probably just copying what they are used to seeing from the proprietary world.
That may be true to some extent but that extent is certainly less than it used to be, in part because Mozilla has established a strong brand with Firefox.
However they have built that brand on delivering people a solid, no bullshit product.
By bothering the end user with something they don't particularly care about they are probably actually devaluing their brand through the very actions that are seeking to protect it.

You seem to have inexplicably skipped over four words in the sentence you quoted.
Quantum encryption seems to fill a very particular niche (point to point communications) and doesn't seem to apply well to common encryption use cases (SSL , email encryption etc).

It will be very handy to be strolling down the street and have a helpful government man spot you and say "You've got mail".
A Czar Czar of course.
Preferably they can find someone with the surname "Gabor"
What, no car?

In the same sense as your mortgage not being a worry because house prices are going up?

Mono allows competition and competition is good.

I live in hope.

If average usage increases then the caps will grow to accommodate it for the obvious reason that these companies wish to sell to the average person.
Have you been in hotels anywhere else?
As far as I can see the price of internet in hotels has nothing to do with the underlying internet providers and everything to do with the hotel owning the ethernet jack or wireless access point.
Indeed, it looked very pretty but from the videos executing a simple jump, particularly from a standing start, seemed rather difficult to pull off.
For a game that fits largely in the 'platform' genre that seems like a cardinal sin.
With balls that big there will be too much drag.

People who buy expensive "stereo" music are the same idiots who buy monster cables.
He's not your Commander in Chief much longer, the next one will be capable of thought on his own.

I'm not sure that "evidence" is the right word. I don't really see how you can call it anything other than a claim (or counter claim).
He certainly seems to claim involvement in other places in the same document:
