I disagree. a simple 'make; make install' would give out many compiler gripes. MS would then be f***ed for not complying with the court's terms.
Second, even if they "fixed" (I know, MS, and fix, in the same sentence...) the source to not whine on compile, MS would be f***ed when you ran compatibility tests with Word, Half-Life, and other programs that rely on certain API's.
The particles have to have the same spin. you slightly change the spin of the particle, the other reflects that. you could rig up some sort of binary method, where, if the particle snaps 90 degrees left, it's a 1, and otherwise, it's a zero... Imagine parallel particle transmission (PPTx), 1 Gbit each particle, 8 particles...
the particle has to be kept in a magnetic field, for control and containment. meaning batteries, and sealing the particle chamber. but, if the container is opened, the particle gets freed, and you need to match particle pairs again.
NASA should be jumping on this for comms to mars/ Alpha Centauri/wherever. imagine realtime video of your loved ones, or, playing CS with 10 ping from the JPL OC-* for fun during the ~6 months transit time... trolling/. from mars 1 (I'm on mars. FP!)
People said that VLSI was too expensive at one time, and yet, here we are...
10 years ago, a processor like the AMD Tbird or Intel P4 would've been impossible, and if it were, it'd be too cost prohibitive to make... Give it time, and the price will unfailingly come down as research gives way to better, cheaper methods. Everything is expensive until it leaves the laboratory
anywho, 10 years! yay, and I'm busy on a 26.4 modem downloading Slack 8.0... so much for the broadband revolution...

If the W3C had created examples of implementation, (instead of using their time to view natalie pr0tman eating hot grits on a Beowulf cluster) we wouldn't be in this situation?

I'm bothering our school board with this already, I've written a paper on it, and am going to present soon. this will help quite a lot.
All our teachers hate it. Since we are an alternative school, we get to use the net every 4 out of 5 days. When we do research, we go to the net.
Health class is teetering on the edge of cancellation, because we can't get to sites about Drug abuse, or Sex-Ed stuff...
The law says they have to use the software, but not _how_ they have to... have it filter something easy, like E-commerce, and that's it...
