Quantum entanglement has been demonstated... Quantum computing reality moves another step forward.
You mean quantum entanglement in a fabbed semiconductor has been demonstrated. Physicists have been entangling gobs of things for years.

Quantum dot: an atom so confined and isolated that the removal or addition of a single electron can be detected
The emphasis here is they are using the spin of an electron from this isolated atom as their qubit. The hope is this idea might scale. Several other physical qubits, like ions trapped using magnets and lasers, don't have much hope of scaling beyond toy systems, like factoring 4-bit numbers. Those guys are, however, a little ahead in the state of the art compared to the semiconductor guys, last I checked.

Jamiee Foxworth, who played Judy on Family Matters, wound up doing porn briefly. Old news, but I didn't hear until last week.

Knowing is half the battle!

GI Joe public service announcements dubbed over. Funniest ones were Body Massage, I'm a computer, Skiier, and Mashup. Most of the other ones were just wierd.

More crap from /.

This seems really nice. As an experiment, here's the file that Alan posted about TW: rometw_tr59_qt.zip. Try redownloading it to see if it is any faster.

Well, when I download directly I get ~370 kb/s. When I try through freecache, I get...370 kb/s. I'm guessing that's my cap.

Continuing our sex theme, it's a watch. With cartoon bunnies on it. That are fucking. Who wouldn't want one?
