Is this thing legal? I can imagine the local MPAA-lookalike not being happy that someone gets their streaming service from abroad.
And, if it's legal... as an European, how can I sign up for that?
The name "quantum computer" is a bit misleading, since this thing as far as I understood is a classical computer that performs quickly an algorithm called quantum annealing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_annealing).
If I understand correctly, the "128 qubits" part is snake oil, and it has nothing to do with the explanation of qubits given by Ars Technica in the other link.
In this case, in order to get random numbers that are more random, I suggest that you generate a large number of them, say 10,000, and then take their average.
and what about the OpenDisc, the official fork/continuation of the project?
Yes, it's exactly what I was writing about. The OpenDisc includes Firefox 6.0.1. Sorry, probably I should've added a quote for context, but I did not imagine my post would end up with more upvotes than the parent.
Sometimes, when I buy just three or four items, I add up the bill in my head while I am in the line. The following scene already happened to me two times: the cashier tells me the total, I realize it doesn't match, I make a strange face and say something, I double-check the bill, I realize that they have scanned an item twice. The saving was trivial, but the impression you make on the cashier is priceless.

Everything you list is a shortcoming of the specific interface that you are using, not of the database concept itself. The way I see it, the problem is that nobody bothered to write a UI for a database that makes it look easy and simple to edit like an Excel spreadsheet.
If you agree with this view, then Excel is just another database with the absurd limitation of constraining you to fit everything into one big table (data, calculations, output formatting).

Linux has a perfectly-working graphical interface for doing that (session management), and now you're telling me Windows doesn't? Oh, the irony!
...or serious news.

Yeah, for instance the organizers and the Slashdot submitter are all men.
"For a new generation"? I am afraid the only thing the new generation can come up with is Pokémon names.

Darwin law to the (not-)rescue!
You need to update your tablet. But don't worry, I have a 32-core CPU to sell you for a great price. Only, 31 of them will always be "offline"...
So the internet is now leaking cats into the red sea?
Well, one could argue it was never born in the first place.
[Incidentally, does that make it an abortion?]
tried to, but it turned out I never enabled this "history" in the first place (or at least Google says so). Am I safe?
Don't worry, Google flying cars are scheduled for Q1 2013.
...remember that the enemy gate is down.
How dare you replace a competent, well-trained, warm-hearted human with an emotionless machine?

Ah, Excel, the most abused piece of software in the world. Is there a problem for which it is the right solution?
...then giving away the directory structure and size of each updated file? You know, you can tell a lot from those.
The pdf you linked is 49 pages, not 89.
