  3. and if Crossover fails... on Crossover Gets Quicken · · Score: 4, Funny

    a major personal goal for me was to switch my wife's computer to Linux. But there was a simple caveat: "No Quicken, No Linux."

    and if Crossover fails Jeremy can change wife ;)

  4. Re:Bubble Sort? on Deep Algorithms? · · Score: 1

    You should consider that you can build infinite number of stupid alghorithms that will be best in some situations. Etc. swap 1st and last element, look if data is sorted and then perform some sort algorithm. This will be the best method if only this two elements are on wrong positions. And it should be used sometimes. And if someone ask you: "Do you sometimes need this stupid sort?" and you answer:"No" you will not get job?!

  7. Re:This is too aspiring. on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    Yes. But maybe will be harder to control, for example, 16 electrons with one bit than 1 with 16 bits.

  8. Re:Possible to run an eigenprogram? What are we th on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    Yes, energy is one problem. If there exists minimal amount of energy needed for storing one single bit, for unlimited number of bits you MUST have unlimited amount of energy. We do not have that practicaly or theoreticaly.
    On the other side (just theoreticaly), if minimal amount for storing bit does not exist you can use as little energy as you wish for storing infinite amount of data. Too good to be true.

  9. Re:Hold it... on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    From article: "Our work in quantum-phase registers is highly experimental, but theoretically there is really no limit to how long a string of 1s and 0s you can store in one," said Bucksbaum. So, something here is wrong, theoretically.
