As the GP says, what D-Wave is claiming is pretty much not physically possible. And what they've demonstrated is possible to emulate with classical computers.

I agree that it's annoying, though in my experience people never refer to SPICE without prefacing it with "Berkeley". SPICE all by itself is used as a generic term.

No. You're a troll because you used the word fuckall in way that was at best gratuitous.
It's just not that hard to avoid. Good hygienic habits, good nutrition, and a good night's sleep are far more effective than any flu vaccine and those habits don't have mercury.
Got any studies to back those measures up?
I wonder if this could be caused by NAT boxes interfering with DNS.
I know my Netgear Wireless router does strange things with DNS requests but I never tried to verify what was going on.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
