This jumped out at me as well - absolute statements are usually a sign of bad science or bad reporting.

I have next to zero understanding of how quantum computers are supposed to work. Does anyone have something like an intro into QC "for dummies"? I want to grasp this subject.

What's with the reddit-style downvotes on my parent comment? Is it because I used the "shit" word? edit: nm, based on the other downvotes in this thread I'm guessing zealots at this point.

Thankfully I have 2 gaming rigs, 1 outdated mac and 2 older custom rigs that are sitting around in pieces. I'm going to build and install a linux box for personal computing (all non-dev non-gaming related computer activity) and just ke

Linus Torvalds shit all over Ubuntu for the feature (and rightly so)... but I don't see the need to boycott the system (as he does) since it is fairly easy to disable. edit: just wanted to mention that when I first installed ubuntu I f

the problem for me (and people like me) is that I'm running a gaming / game dev rig. I actually need Windows as most of the games I play are windows only - plus my current rig is way more powerful than any mac I can afford. I love

I think you're correct... saying that you created a AAA title means that you can compete with major game studios... I think. However, in my opinion AAA doesn't apply to scope or budget but quality of experience. Super Meat Boy is

wait a minute... my math might be a bit rusty, but 28 samples is rather low isn't it? I'm a bit less worried now. edit: oops 28, 59 and 6 samples... maybe I really am becoming an idiot. still not much data though.

Very interesting and also terrifying - i'm trying to shift into the indie game space so hearing that my math may get worse than it already is terrifies me. I have a really hard time believing that comprehension of math would decrease w

best damn comment too. very encouraging to hear someone has been at it for this long. Only 13 or 14 years for me thus far.

You do realize that for the last several years we've been trying to churn out new developers who will accept jobs for very low wages (or even come on as interns and work for free) and they've got an edge on the so-called "new

Hello sir, you have possibly found your doppelganger. I don't have time to type up my whole story, and a lot of it is in my comment history, but the gist is: I started programming with BASIC and later QBASIC. Self taught, no degree. Vi

Correct - its a slower process but it can be done. Programming is all in your head, how you get it into the computer is irrelevant (recall programmers used to use hole punches on paper). I suspect that we'll have non-invasive mind to c

None actually. edit: something like the EFF perhaps but even then you're just trusting the skills of whoever volunteers for / gets paid by them.

Not to discredit this product, but I'm having a harder and harder time trusting products that feature high security. They seem like trojan horses. I think I'm probably just being paranoid - is there a trustworthy independent third
