Maybe you should start. If I were you I'd start with anti-psychotics.

I Soviet Russia, computer chips program YOU.

I've always preferred inline assembly or linked asm routines for tricky bits, but the problem then is it's not portable.

I didn't say quantum computing was a scam, but D-Wave appear to be either that or a failed project.

The FCC can stop them from selling any products at all in the US in that case. The US is still the largest market for many, if not most, Chinese companies.

Which is exactly why I said it is an engineering problem. Right now we would not be able to do it, but in time I think we could, with the right engineering.

I've been pretty sure it's a scam for some time now. They have yet to demonstrate anything quantum about it at all, nor can they produce problems that it solves faster than a conventional computer. This is not the first time.

There is most likely more than enough water on Mars in the permafrost and the ice caps, as well as small amounts in the atmosphere, and quite possibly in underground deposits that we have yet to discover. It's really an engineering problem, though I'm not sure it's one that can be solved that soon.

Don't feed the trolls or rabid Apple fanbois. It just encourages them.

Probably because there is so much old code, and the new servers will just require a recompile rather than outright porting to a new OS?

Take for granted? Hardly. I spent a brief time homeless as a lad, and worked my way up to where I am now with a nice fat income, nice house and cars, etc. When I did have my first roof over my head the water was questionable and I had a hotplate and two pans, very cheap ones.

The 'poor' in the US have plenty of money for cigarettes (many of them smoke) and to eat junk food at fast food joints. They can afford to eat a basic healthy diet. Education is part of the problem, but so is lack of discipline in many cases.

Sure, or most cheeses, or some eggs.

I'm sorry but that is a lame excuse. You don't need a rice cooker or slow cooker. You need a couple of sauce pans, water, heat, and the ability to read instructions.

Bullshit. Have you seen how cheap dried beans and rice are? There's a complete protein right there. Add in some relatively cheap fruits and veggies like apples, lettuce, and carrots and you have a far healthier and far cheaper diet than McDonalds and packaged pre-prepared foods.
