Just think of it in terms of hilbert spaces (or just plain vector spaces). A qubit spans a 2 dimentional hilbert space. A (normalized) state on that space could be written
|S>=a1|0>+a2|1>
just think of |> as a vector, where a1 and a2 are ANY complex numbers such that |a1|^2+|a2|^2=1
for two qubits then you just have a 4 state space
|S>=a1|00>+a2|01>+...

I really don't know what else to say about this. The notion that a company which grew up in the US, as a direct result of the freedoms we enjoy here, would go overseas and act so unethically just appals me.
If there was anything (ethical) I could think of to hurt yahoo's bottom line I would surely do it at this point. Any suggestions?
How can you say this is not passive resistance? Nobody was injured, they got thier message out and at worst some people who wanted to watch TV where inconvenienced.
If China does anything rash in responce now the people will know why and it wil because all the clearer what the priorities of that government are.
Hey if they start charging for bandwidth, picture this...
I hate Joe, I know Joe uses comcast cable and has a limit of somewhere in the viscinity of 5 GB per month up/down plan and pays through the nose for anything extra. I have an unlimited plan. So to screw Joe over I just ping him all day. Not enough to DoS him or anything, just enough so that at the end of the month I've used about 50+ GB of his bandwidth and he never even knows!
How would the cable company prevent this type of abuse?
YEah I loved TSN/INN. I still remember how disappointing it was when ATT took over and soon after it got ruined. That network was really ahead of it's time.
There are informed moral discussions and there are ignorant moral discussions. Bush is considering whether or not it's okay to destroy the magical invisible souls of these precious groups of cells. He's decided that it's not okay, but he does concede the benefit of utilizing the already existing stem cells.
Ya know its funny, you're right hat exactly what he was deciding, and I'm sure most people would read a comment like this and chuckle to themselves that of course the wrong decision was made. The fact remains however that some huge percentage of the population believe in the existance of a soul, and that each person with a such a soul is entitled to life. So to not take those beliefs of the people who elected him and those whom he represents under concideration I think most people would agree would be a gross error. Right?
What is thier position about the situation? I havn't heard anything about this yet, and was wondering if they had made any statements either affirming or condemning the arrest.
100 years? Do you have any conception of how much will change in just the next 25 as far as how we get our energy and what we use our natural resources for, why... oh nevermind, this is not worth the time
If you can't screw up royally while doing it, its not a fine art. Whether that means painting (who bumped into me?!) sculpture (damn! there goes the nose!), stage acting (ummm, umm, line!), or live music performance (*screeeech*, damnit!)
This is most certainly not the job of a politician, though it may seem so in recent years. Its IS in fact the job of a politian to follow what his own personal judgement tells him is the correct thing to do. It is also his job to tell us those personal beliefs when he is running in the first place. This purpose of this is to prevent "mob rule" or "government by gallup pole" as the other responder to your post mentioned.
Another way to llok at it is that the average joe just can never have the time to be totally informed on the issues and thier nuances, thats a full time job. SO you elect someone you think would vote the same way you would. He does the research, and votes in the way he believes would be the best for the country
This movie was tons of fun. There where plot holes of course and I agree the characters could have used some more development, but otherwise it was THE MOST fun I've had seeing a movie in quite a while. I thaught the surround sound for this movie was particularly good, the clangs, crashes and explosions where excellent.
Because we can all be resonably ceratin that MS does not in fact want to expidite the process, and unless as the act states the matter is of grave national important it is unconstitutional to deny MS the right to proper procedure
Yeah but it should be the choice of the individual musisian as to whether or not they want to share THIER music for free; you can't decide for me, thats MY god damn right.
Don't argue semantics, we all know what theft is. Don't try to hide behind legal-ese. You want the music, you can get it without paying, so you do it. That's theft. Whether or not you feel justified, for whatever reason, is a whole different story. (and by you, i mean the general you, as in whoever uses the service, not you specifically)
Well aside from the fact that he has no credentials, there's a good post about a screen up reguarding the strange (wrong?) way this professor seems to look at QM
If the book is anything like this article, then it would have to be the biggest lump of crap to come along in a while. Several other posters have hit the nail right on the head, this guy definately does not understand QM, and the fact that he can even get a publisher is just strange. Ah well, I guess it may have a market in the Science Fiction section of your local Barnes and Noble.
the purpose of this project, and most of all are not scientists. This isn't about credit, its about opening up humanity to new possibilities and reaching out into the unknown.
Does anybody care anymore that this is Illegal?

Not the software of cours,e but what it will be used for. Its just plain sad, how blatent people and Slashdot for that matter are about not caring that good music is being ripped off. As a music fan, I find it to be very very dissappointing how prevelent the sharing of mp3's has become. IF there are any other actual music fans out there please keep in mind that you are really going to hurt the industry and your favorite bands; because, while the bands themselves make very little from record sales, it does determine how much airtime they get and if/when they go on tour. Just a little something to think about. Sadly, Fynd
Greetings, I am a student at CMU right now and give you all the lowdown on what happened. Basically the CMU admin did a search to see which computers where ebign heavily downloaded from and such. They then did a sweep of the network checking a computers here and there. The looked at all directories not password protected, but also.. and here's why some students are upset. They guesses a few passwords as well. Now, they didn't go trying to hack into machines or anything, but they did try passwords such as "mp3" or "cmu" for directories labeled "warez" or "mp3" and such. Personally I don't really have a problem with this, it is illegal after all, I guess its just strange because its seemed so natural to go download things like mp3's that we've forgotten it's actually akin to theft. Thanks, Adam Steele Physics/CS Sophmore
I mean come on, I will be reading the entire report with greater scrutiny, but right now I feel that almost any of intrusion of the government against free enterprise is a Bad Thing. I will only hurt our economy in the end. We've seen Linux jumps leaps and bounds over the past year or so, the way I can see it, this will only hamper Linux development. As far as browsers go, good ones are being developed as we speek that can easily compete with IE. Ugg, I see nothing good about this report, I guess I just feel like this has turned into a witchhunt for so many/.'ers and I'm disgusted by it. There, I've said my peace. goodnight

Couldn't agree more. here-here!

They key idea here is the notion of attacking civilians. I don't see what's hard about this to understand

"And as CNN goes international, you see them representing the conservative American viewpoint"
CNN represents the conservative american viewpoint...ha! thats a laugh
sorry

I can't belive the exageration in this article. GAAA, simply unbelieveable that a journalist can get away with this. This WAS an editorial wasn't it?
