A key disadvantage of D-Wave is that it is slower than conventional computers. Their marketing wank says that speed isn't what to focus on... it's an entirely new method of processing..... and planes were initially slower than cars, etc.
So, for the low low price of [more money than you have], you can get a high maintenance toy that is slower than most desktops, let alone supercomputers.
They didn't really say it had that much by way of capability... just code injection, and phone home. What logic would this thing really need?
1. listen for "XXXX", inject "YYYY" (create remote vulnerability to exploit)
2. loop: send packet to x.x.x.x once a week/month. (advertise presence)
3. (optional) listen for kill signal, on kill signal HALT. (conceal self once access has been gained)
Given the density of modern die fab processes, I can easily imagine something with that capability fitting on the head of a pin.
If you read the article instead of looking at the pictures, you'd know.
But I'll be kind to the handicapped today.
The device interacted with the BMC, which has lowest-level access to everything. The device would use the BMC to inject code into memory, allowing remote exploits, and phone home.
There is little recognition of the fact that every single share holder (including your grandma that has 1 share of apple) is a rent seeking entity. (And no, i am not using that term incorrectly).
There seems to be a vague idea in the public that the stock market somehow provides capital that new businesses need to form and grow. I am not someone that work in any sort of finance... but I'm 99% sure that's not how it works.
Do pinko commies make a distinction between "communism" and "socialism" now...? Which one is the bad one that killed a few hundred million? I'm sure you're the other one.
I now pay $400 a month, which I don't have any choice in (manditory at my job) for insurance I can't use. Because we were getting a group plan, it made things cheaper for EVERYONE to tell the insurer that I'm a non-smoker. So I don't have insurance. Some hypothetical 40 year old with my name who's a non-smoker has insurance.
Oh, no, wait,I forgot.... we're all supposed to re-tool for the new economy. Because businesses want to hire 40 year olds for entry level tech jobs....
Everyone loves ChromeOS. And then they ask "so how do i install outlook?" And then they ask "How do I allow this ActiveX control?" And then they ask "How do I install this printer?" And then they ask "is it too late to return these?"
The only business users who can effectively use Chormebooks are ones where no one is working (i.e. kids using Slack).
Or it's not covered because it's not interesting, not news for nerds, and not stuff that matters.
This is the shit that gets +4 insightful...?! No wonder/. is dying.
It's interesting to people who aren't shills and/or retards.
It's news to people who don't have their heads firmly lodged up the MSM's fake-news ASS.
It's stuff that matters to adults.

This isn't 4chan. you don't get to be anonymous and non-anonymous at the same time.
If you don't like it you're free to take your business elsewhere.
YES I FUCKING AM. I remember when this site was *THE* tech website. Now it's just a 1-day-late news discussion forum that only manages to continue to exist because respectable news outlets haven't figured out that people want to discuss things and not have 50 extra logins to remember.
I'll be downvoting you on reddit (where i don't have to win a mini lottery to voice approval or disapproval), assuming I haven't already.

Suck our collective cocks, newfag. This is what the internet was before you politically correct normies ruined it.
We will burn the fucking internet down before we let you jews turn it into a motherfucking safe space.
Sorry, us non-Apple-using troglodytes haven't switched to M4-GAY yet.

It's all about search and ads. IE / Edge failing so fucking hard is why we (win10 users) have ads in the start menu now.
yeah, vote me -1 instead of addressing the point.
Yes.

Daddy... what does "inversely proportional to cube of distance" mean...?

Yep, those BRAND X phones are totally made in america.
Standing in a soup line is much more productive.

And if you're on MSNBC, the SSL icon would be pink and useless.
(And to be clear, by pink I was not implying gay, I was implying communist).
low bandwidth codecs for the 3rd world.... because that's where the growth is.
Like in the first world, and have big-boy internets? Too fucking bad, because skype gives you the same shit codec.
Because Indians have ruined Microsoft.
Banks. Yes. I agree with your look of horrified realization.
I work in IT.

"Reality Winner" is the point at which the OMG RUSSIANS show jumped the shark.
