Japanese. Google Explains Quantum Computing in One Simple Video (Shared on Swayy) In praise of Richard Stallman, GNU's open sourcerer. Richard Stallman, computer campaigner, in London, 2011.
Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Three decades ago, a software programmer named Richard Stallman posted an announcement on an internet newsgroup, a bulletin board conversation service, about a project he was launching. It was called GNU ("for Gnu's Not Unix"): a software system that would be compatible with the Unix operating system but entirely unencumbered by "intellectual property" rights that could limit users' choices.

Google's D-Wave computer is 3,600 times faster than a normal computerIt uses qubits to perform calculations and solve optimisation problems In the video, Google and Nasa explain the basics of quantum computingThey discuss multi-verse theory and give an example of optimisation Faster speeds mean it can tackle complex problems such as disease, climate change and geneticsGoogle hopes it will help develop sophisticated artificial life, and find aliens By Victoria Woollaston Published: 15:32 GMT, 15 October 2013 | Updated: 07:07 GMT, 16 October 2013 Not content with being the largest search engine in the world, designing the most popular mobile operating system, creating a healthcare company and helping to develop lab-grown meat, Google has now explained how it plans to solve societies biggest problems - through quantum computing.
Argos and Tesco have released own-brand tablets but are they simply gathering customer data? - Features - Gadgets & Tech. Tesco triggered a new tablet war late last month with the launch of its Hudl device, which sold out in two days as 35,000 people snapped it up in exchange for £119, or just £60 worth of Clubcard vouchers.
Since then, the 7in device, which runs the latest version of the Android operating system, has defied expectations for a brand not associated with high technology by winning positive reviews. Yesterday, Argos hit back with its MyTablet, which cost just £99.99 and, like the Hudl, comes preloaded with a store app. Independent analysts say the retailers' move into a new market is a significant development in data-driven business and will enable the chains to add significantly to their giant data pools with the behaviour and insights of millions of customers.
The firm's e-marketing promotion says the tablet "comes with easy access to the Tesco world" thanks to pre-installed apps for Tesco banking as well as Blinkbox, the supermarket's multimedia streaming service. 'Digital downtime' means we spend more than five days each year waiting for computers to load - Gadgets & Tech - Life & Style. The research was conducted amongst PC and laptop users in the UK and found that these waiting times also had a knock on affect, putting almost a third (30 per cent) of respondents in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
The impact was perhaps worse for the gadgets themselves, with just under a fifth (17 per cent) of those surveyed reporting that they took their frustration out on the hardware, thumping it or throwing it about. Conducted by computer memory makers SanDisk, the study estimated that we spend 130 hours each year waiting for our computers to load and that PC freezes and crashes had become one of the top seven most stressful everyday experiences.

Now imagine if the capability of touch spread from the display to the entire device, allowing control by gently pressing on any part of the phone, or even making any household item into a touch-sensitive interface with your computer. Hardcore Gamers Don’t Exist… At Least Not Anymore. While everyone is getting down and dirty with their 2010 backlog, I’ve decided to go back over a decade and play titles from the days of the SNES all in the name of “research.”
Secret of Mana. Php - How to comment on template files? (.tpl) Comments. Comments in PHP are similar to comments that are used in HTML.
The PHP comment syntax always begins with a special character sequence and all text that appears between the start of the comment and the end will be ignored. In HTML a comment's main purpose is to serve as a note to you, the web developer or to others who may view your website's source code. However, PHP's comments are different in that they will not be displayed to your visitors. The only way to view PHP comments is to open the PHP file for editing. This makes PHP comments only useful to PHP programmers. In case you forgot what an HTML comment looked like, see our example below. HTML Code: While there is only one type of comment in HTML, PHP has two types.
