I feel that with the hamsters 'controlling' rythym and speed, that you would get the same results if your had a random number generator replacing the hamsters.
The true test would be to see if an observer detects any difference between random controls and a hamster.
In General, Giving out patents is a good thing.
The companies get short term profit, but society gets innovation in the long term. When the patent runs out, the tech is free to use.
It's cases like rapid mass epidemics where the theory breaks down, because in that case the best thing for society long term is to prevent a disease from wiping out half the population in the short term.
Then again, the world has a lot of people....
Damn magnets.
Seriously though, they're 'mimicking' a quantum effect, not using real quantum states.
If it doesn't say 'Quantum' on the box then it's not quantum.

Nasa has tons of servers...so, the "oh gee, the server went down, so lets throw our hands in the air and give up" thing doesn't compute.
There are always backups of servers.
I expect organized agencies to have backups.
The 'Server went down so give up' thing only applies to AOL users.
targeting the OS.
I can see this technology being useful on servers which have multiple network cards and heavy traffic, but not for joe average pc user.

Cause, you may as well watch a few good movies...

Oh yes! The Stapler!
It's ok to make collages as long as you remain an 'anonymous coward', otherwise you'll get sued.
Can't type anything legible.

Go on.. Eat that cheeseburger, fries and jumbo coke and sit on your butt all day.

They'd have to actually track which chip goes in which board.
Prove it.
Mathematically.
Posting from memory here, but one of the reasons he said he could not save Enterprise was because he was busy... .. now that he's not busy...

I think slashdot favours certain articles and repeats them over and over again.

Congrats on your first Smackdown.

I will NEVER trust my computer to keep anything safe. I can see homeland security buying Google just to do data mining.

Once, smoking cigarettes was considered 'safe'. Putting radio waves thru the human body is never a great idea.

I think I'll wait for the SHA-65000 algorithm instead.. it'll be harder to crack.
Platinum in in old school fuel cells.
Today, they use a plastic film called a 'Proton Exchange Membrane' which lets hydrogen atoms through...
Ballard Power in Vancouver has been using this tech for the last half dozen years, and you sometimes see a few fuel cell buses around.
My guess is that the industry is waiting for other people to develop fuel cell technology so they don't have to spend much money on a copycat tech.
Now.. about that pipeline.
... which is why in North Korea they're playing around with 'nukular' energy.
