Quantum programming does not work any different for classical programming. Sur you can develop algorythm specifics for QC, but you write thos using classical logic. There is no black magic invovled. You *just* have to have access to qbits to do the work.
Now if you want to learn HOW Qbit and Quantum computers WORK . You have a lot to read. Start now.
There is a difference between the physics that makes it work and the applications. Do you need to know how your pocket calculator work to use it ? My mom does not.
Same story.... A couple of people in a few different (and unrelated) places discover something within the same timespan, say a couple of months to a couple of years (I've seen even days apart). And then its a rush to a brevet (patent) . Also, many invention have been re-discovered over the years. Why is this a story anyway. I'ts been like that for ever.
"But now Ubuntu is the Bad Linux "
Excuse me, did I miss something ? When did that happened ? Cause I was busy with Win 7 while tending my linux server.

"Wikipedia is not, and never will be, an accurate encyclopedia. "
I agree , but that is not the point...
See, none of the contributions I've made to some articles over the years has been reverted. Sure, they've changed, others have added things , some has been rephrased, but this is Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is like a living encyclopedia, its almost real-time. When you accept that, you can start contributing wihout worrying for anything else. If what you add to it is good, it will be kept, one way or another.
Wikipedia is akin to natural selection. Only the best will survive. And about the *realtime* *right now* nature of Wikipedia : Sure, you can read about all the species that ever existed on this earth in any good natural history book. But if what you need is a correct representation of the species alive today, right now, go to a zoo or take a walk outside. You'll get what's on earth TODAY. See. Wikipedia is not an history book, but is representing all about what is true right now. So it IS a zoo:) Pun intended.
Seriously, some specific subject must certainly be the stage for ego wars , but what you describe here seem like its Wiklipedia as viewed by an obsessive compulsive. I agree that it would look like a nightmare.
Every casual user I know still use hotmail. I don't think Gmail is THAT important to them. Buzz won't ever reach Twitter's proportion. Google is geek/power user oriented.
"The developers ask for, and are granted, the right to open source the code (who's going to want it, right?)"
What the code under the GPL ? If that is true they've been had, but not the way you think : You cannot sell OS code as you own.
I can't believe this story. It sure is sensational, but certainly not true. Otherwise, this company should out of business by now.
What did YOU do to prevent this ?
This story is weird at best...
There is NO chance a sane company would let this happen . I just hope this should not be a reason not to open source code.
You mean John Public center all his business around a single domain name ? What kind of good business man/marketer would do that ?.
John Public's business never gets off the ground Oh I see, he's no business man at all...
Now these scenarios make some assumptions that don't necessarily play out in the real world, but they illustrate the added value the OP was talking about. You would be surprised how many people think like that, and that is where all the problem lie : Who cares about cybersqatters, a name does not make a business.
Its what you do with it that is important.The problem is not about the access of this information, but in what can be done to prevent someone to do something with this information. Thus the problem does not lie in P2P.Or any mode of data transportation for that matter. "Lets kill all pigeon since this network can be used to carry *Gasp* dangerous infos!"
"Simply the threat that we can deploy them keeps us out of wars.
On a smaller level, societies where people own guns are usually more peaceful ones."

How this is different than your Firefox cache (which is worst, privacy wise IMO) or *gasp* any other graphical GUI effect ?| Slow news day ? And BTW, any IT forensic who has access to the machine can do whatever the fsck he/she want. Are we gonna encrypt the graphical effect's screenshots now ? WTF people, Wake up!
Let Apple be for a minute... There is a new Metallica album day, you guys should talk about that. Geeks love Metal too ya know!

Fuck'em !
You don't have kids do you ? You'd want the best for them and GTA V is not. Try Infinity.
Karma!
This. And the holy grail is >300 qbit. I want to see this in my lifetime.
Only to be beaten by yours.

I whish I had mod points! Nice idea. This IS EXACTLY how I would teach them. Your comment is saved in txt file for when my son gets older.

In that case, Fable II on Xbox 360 might be right in your alley.
