You may be correct, but you're sending the wrong kind of message here. It has been shown that every classical algorithm can be performed on a quantum computer (quick note here, but there are better sources) Sure, some may be slower, because of the quirks of quantum interaction, the necessity of error correction, or simply because an efficient algorithm hasn't yet been formulated.
On the other hand, a fairly large body of problems have been shown to solvable exponentially faster using QC's. That, combined with the fact that QC/QInformation can be so fun to work with/theorize has contributed to the rapid growth of this field. It's like the Chaos Theory of the 00's.
On one of the toll roads near where I went to highschool, police were *unable* to give speeding tickets. At worst, they could stop you and give a warning, but no tickets. Anyone know of other roads with similar rules?
His concerns were not just "discussed." You make it sound like once he reads this article, all his fears will disappear. What this article does is parade his points around, with a drum corps, floats and a band.
Implementation of this broadcast flag will permit digital TV stations to obtain high value content and assure consumers a continued source of attractive, free, over-the-air programming without limiting the consumer's ability to make personal copies
Sounds good. But, do we trust them?
...of some 70 organizations that participated in the BPDG, only some 14 submitted dissenting comments on one or more issues. Of these 14 dissenters, six were self-styled "consumer" groups that appear to be opposed in principle to any restraints whatsoever on the reproduction and redistribution of content.
I like how they cast a little doubt on whether or not these guys are actually representing consumers. Who else would they be for? Who else might there be but the artists/actors?
They go on to say what seems like... aw who cares. There's so much in that FAQ that just makes me want to grab one of their execs, throw em in a chair, and grill them about what they actually believe. Crazy stuff.
The whole thing smells like (is) propaganda, but that's the age we live in.
My Audigy works just fine thank you. Cheap, good enough sound that I don't have anything to complain about, and plenty of ports. What else could you want?
I've had absolutely no problems with it. None. Haven't even had to update the drivers.
Who actually would prefer this to regular 2D? It'd be like destroying a whole artform--sometimes this is necessary for an evolutionary step, but the few 3D movies I've seen were horrible. Part of the magic of 2D movies is the perspective you get from a 3rd person viewer... right?
1) You obviously weren't there for the P4 1.6a explosion this spring. Right then and there we saw that intel's solution was superior to what AMD had to offer:
a) Stability-you wackos can't touch this one
b) Speed-with gaming and multimedia, the P4 smokes
c) Value-with an easy overclock and killer bandwidth... what's wrong with you people?
d) Noise-Even the stock fan is sufficient for OC'ing, and it's really quiet.
2) I can use all the speed you can give me. Furthermore, if you doubled the speed of my computer, I'd be happy for only a couple weeks before I started complaining about what I could do with a real computer.
Man, you are desperate. The red-head Denise story was off topic (though entertaining, I have to admit) enough, but to resort to this sort of blatant, sexual anecdote just so you can modded up is really, really low.
If anything deserves to be called karma "whoring" this is it.
What I'd like to see in the next format is a little (or a lot) more redundancy. I've got a couple CD's that are barely playable due to scratches, wear, and tear.
They say you can drill a good sized hole in a CD, and never hear the skip, but I've got a couple CD's with barely visible scratches/smears, and it's really frustrating when they happen to be on the one song you liked from that CD.
uh, for this we'll have to resort to the fourth rule of thermodynamics: you don't getting anything for free (if you can't tell, I made that up, but it's still true).
The work you do to expand or contract the bladder is the same (or less efficient) as that that would normally propel the sub.

I forgot, is there an absolute frame of reference for the universe. All I can remember is that there is no "aether" (though there's still a bunch of crackpots who support this). I dunno if this rules out your proposition though.
Anyone know of some books with this sort of theme? Or Political Philosophy books? This is the sort of thing I'd major in if I ever ran out of math/science I loved.
At first people would download it because it was offered somewhere and because it might be helpful. Not people in the security crowd, mind you, but it was still a free-will type of thing.

Muscle loss is bad enough already in space, I'd think that anything you could do to get more protein into their diets would help.
Lack of food is not the cause of world hunger, currently (or as of a few years ago) only a lack of food distribution causes the starvation of ~600mil people.
I've used windows for most of my life. Once, when I was feeling particularly geeky, I borrowed a retail Mandrake install from a friend. So, what happened? Was my world transformed? Was I liberated from the clutches of a corporate monopoly? Sure, for about 2 days, then it started crashing, I realized that I didn't have sound, and I had to reboot whenever I wanted to get anything done.
Fast forward to now: I just recently installed linux again on a spare HDD. I'm fairly ignorant about boot loading in general, but Red Hat helpfully installed LILO on the *other* hard drive, so it could have complete and utter control of how the computer booted up. After a week, I finally found out how to change it to boot XP by default instead of Linux. I only use linux b/c it has a free f90 compiler.
Moving on, I decide to install a new hard drive (80 gig 7200, w00t!), have to take out the old, slow, Linux one, and lo and behold, not even my original copy of XP will boot up. Long story... shorter, it was a terrible mess, and I had to reinstall XP, lose my settings, my mail files.
Now to the on topic part: my time in Linux has been filled with trouble. Nautilus, which came installed, has no file associations with anything. The commandline zip functions aren't entirely self-obvious (I'm an experienced computer user, so don't give me that RTFM junk. I shouldn't have to re-read it 5 times. I remember the days of pkunzip). Mozilla was incredibly slow to open, compared to IE. It's a joke. I thought about installing one of the other flavors, but didn't get far. Why? The useability is so much worse than windows. It seems like linux has evolved to be *run* by a system administrator, and *used* by workers.
But that doesn't cut it. I've got to be able to install stuff easily, find what I need, change config's easy (ie. a sane config panel), etc. I don't have the free time to spend hours finding out how to do a simple task. Sure it's neat (debatable), sure, it's geeky, but I've got much better things to do. I still haven't installed a new distro yet, because I've been restoring XP. I'll eventually have to, though. Linux has a while to go before it takes over the desktop, and developers for it will probably have to drop their attitude problem somewhere along the line.

You're an idiot. He was claiming that about most of the American Public, not radical wannabe activists like you.
You *are* a typical slashdot troll.

It mocks anyone who might answer his questions.

So... how many of you actually think this guy knows what he's talking about?
Take a chill pill, dude. The news on slashdot is always late, and very rarely relevant.
