Please could you provide some of these reasons? AFAIK, up till now, all the predictions of quantum theory have been handsomely confirmed by experiment.
I'm sorry, this is just absolute tripe. I can't even be bothered to moderate it -1, Flamebait. Just consider an example phrase from the article: "the use of algorithms plays havoc with event ordering". What does that mean? How on earth did this get to Score 3, Informative? Sometimes I despair.
No, it is *not* FTL. You always need a classical information channel as well as your quantum information channel. In fact, to transmit one bit using quantum teleportation, you need to transmit two bits over the classical channel. As many others have posted here, see Wikipedia for an explanation why.
At least in Europe, the majority of "smart" phones give you the ability to transfer any sort of music file from your PC (over infra-red, Bluetooth, or USB) and use it as a ringtone. There's no need to pay the extortionate network charges for ringtones if you don't want to.
I've found very little of use or interest at MIT's site. There are a large number of other universities that have better online resources.
Although, frankly, I think it should be compulsory for all universities to put all their lecture notes online - for everyone, not just existing students. They're (partly) funded by the public purse, part of their remit should be to provide knowledge to the public!
I mean, really, how hard is it to upload a few PDFs?
I'm quite interested in Mono and GTK#, but the documentation seems at first glance to be... non-existent. Are there any tutorials explaining how to get started with Mono and write the GUI equivalent of "Hello world"?
Just one example of a site "buying a ranking", or the ebay thing you're talking about, would be enough.
You are aware that AdWords results are different from the normal search results, right? They even come up in little coloured boxes saying "sponsored link".
Fair enough... but if you know that the possible strings that x might contain are never going to be that long, or this isn't a time-critical part of the system, I'd argue that strlen() is considerably more readable and understandable.
...why did they remove the very useful ability to control the app using Windows messages? I'm the developer of an app which controls Winamp 2 using the fairly fully-featured Windows messaging API, but the only way people can use it with Winamp 3 is by getting hold of a third-party plugin.
As proven by Mozilla, what most people want is an application, not the world's geatest plugin architecture!
Actually, it does do voice recognition (for dialling, anyway), it uses Memory Stick Duo (tons of storage, albeit expensive), and it can be a video camera:)
I agree with your comments about turning your phone into a remote. But in future, hopefully more and more devices will be controllable via Bluetooth, which a large number of phones do support.
Handset manufacturers don't make phones which could act as walkie-talkies because it would be a loss of revenue for the network operators.

Why not spend 10 seconds finding out?.

...that place is just owned by someone whose parents were very cruel to them :)
Pure genius.
That seems to work really well. Still not as simple as Winamp, though :)
Thanks for your suggestions, everyone.
Good point. I think iTunes is great, but how the £$%^ can I get it to store a playlist that:
- is emptied when I open iTunes (or even better, when I haven't been using it for 30 mins or more)
- I can append songs to really easily, preferably by double-clicking
- I can clear easily?
I find "Party Shuffle" a pain to use - adding stuff to it and clearing it is fiddly.

You won't need to go back to your computer if you have a mobile phone that can run Bemused or Salling Clicker!
For the sort of simple, single-user applications that MySQL is frequently used for, I don't understand why SQLite isn't used more often.
It's fast, simple, lightweight, and completely free, with no licensing restrictions prohibiting it from being incorporated into commercial products.
Am I missing some reason why it's unsuitable for most people?

Fantastic. +1 Funny please.
Personal preference, I guess.
What's wrong with calling strlen() to see if a string's empty?
What exactly do you have against fish?
Unless I'm missing something, it seems like an obvious thing to do (and something that's done as standard in many other linked list implementations).
Sounds pretty interesting, do you have a URL to any more information?

Actually, you can already play Civilization on the Nokia 9210 and 9290 - check out this game.

You can already play MP4 movies on the Nokia 7650.
Let's discuss your points one by one...

Handset manufacturers don't make phones which could act as walkie-talkies because it would be a loss of revenue for the network operators.
Some phones do have USB docking stations.
Some phones can be programmed in C++.
