"I changed the article by reading it" is a terrific joke.
"The author changed the article by writing it" may be the best analogy to quantum computing I've run into. At the moment he finished the article, the author caused the article to collapse from all the articles it might have been the the article it actually was. As he was writing it, it simultaneously passed through all the possible articles (states) it might have been, to become the final article (state). Becoming is infinite, being is finite.
While I completely agree that we need a good observatory at a Lagrange point (I favor L3, for inferometry); you have to remember that JWST is going to be an infrared telescope, which is heavily attenuated by the atmosphere.
They haven't spent $4.5B, they're going to spend $4.5B. From TFA: "...The mission's estimated cost remains $4.5 billion, including spacecraft development, launch and operations...".
Also from TFA: "The latest plan for the infrared observatory,... is expected to be finalized in April". In other words, they haven't even frozen the specs yet.

As may be, but Cisco is becoming the next Ma Bell (or at least Western Electric). They already have a lock on backbone and enterprise routing and switching; with Linksys they have a large chunk of the consumer Ethernet market, and here they are moving into the consumer cable plumbing market. Every byte you get from the Internet goes through a dozen Cisco boxes before it gets to you. Now we're going to start seeing the same thing in cable as well.
Actually, their premium 24x7 support is $360 per socket (not core). That's pretty goddam great for a big-boy operating system AND (now) database support.
I've got a friend who has wet macular degeneration: he's slowly going blind, has been for years. He uses a 21-inch monitor, and every time he gets a new machine, I have to install his magnification software (sorry, the name escapes me). It costs several hundred dollars, and he's bought copies for NT 4, Win2K and XP through the years. He cussed for a solid ten minutes when I showed him KMagnifier, as it does everything his Windows magnifier does, and then some.

I'm honored. :-)

Yes, but page two of your search has the Anti-Grav Lounger with Shiatsu Massager; which, while marketing hyperbole, is at least an accurate search.

Unintended consequences ensue.
That wasn't pop, it was lysergic acid diethylamide.
Oh my god. I can see it now.

The actual quote was "English is easy. Math are hard."
Pi are round. Cake are square.
d00d. that's hysterical.
There is an astounding number of fuckwits who use IE as a newsreader (with Javascript enabled). And then they bitch about yEnc posts.
Doesn't matter. The USPTO couldn't find their ass with both hands.
from TFA:
it will have capacity of 1.6TB each
So, no, it won't hold all your pr0n.
That sound you hear, to coin a phrase, is Sun, cutting off Red Hat's air supply.
Damn, blew the link - should've (should have, not should of) previewed.

Do I really want ActiveX components running free in Firefox?
Thank you so much! I never could make out that part :-)
I love the double-wide "System Reset" key about where the F3/F4 keys would be.
I can't get to the web site, but they never found the Holy Grail either, did they?
Can we assume you're using it?
