But the world would not be the same. Let me give you a somewhat silly example. In the TV series UFO, a moon to earth shuttle crashed. Sabotage was suspected. A pilot said he'd fly the same route to see if anything was there to sabotage a

Seeing the list of apps he's selling explains much. He has cast a wide net. Hell, at least one of his apps was already on my list to get when I finally have an Android tablet.

I keep scratching my head over articles about the D-Wave. Is this ever going to be something we'll see in our homes or are too many qubits required for generalized, popular use?

Yeah, I did. That persistence eventually paid off. The photo looked faked just to my eye. I could see the lighting was off without needing proof. EDIT to add: Don't know why this appeared twice. Never happened before.

Life is not like a TV repeat. Whatever made your dog -- experiences, reactions, etc -- was unique. You would expect what your dog ultimately became to be in the clone too. And that's just unfair to the clone. It'd be like expecting iden

I have no tablet so cannot try. Is the data archived? Could I, say, go back and search for "topic X" that might have been in "newsmagazine program Y" in the past month?

No, because I've seen this with my own eyes and heard it time and again. Landlords quoting a ridiculous rent to someone not from the city -- and getting that rent. Even I was screwed once, thinking I had a reasonable rent and then finding

Whatever that is, Firefox can't display it. And personally I don't worry. I'm not "living" in one of those cells.
