Comment Seriously (Score 0, Redundant) 272

Is anyone else getting sick of samzempus purposely marking an idle article as 'science' or 'technology' that is clearly idle just so it gets more views? We already know you mis-tag articles purposely so they get more views (most people filter out idle), but seriously do your job correctly.

Most of us come on this site for relevant technology and science news and do our part by filtering out articles we are not interested in. I for one do not appreciate when this particular moderator purposely bypasses my filter on a near daily basis just to get more views or 'prestige' within the site. If anything you're becoming more infamous as being the moderator that posts useless things. /rant

The part where this is classified under 'science' and thus goes above my personal filter. I already filter out idle stories, but this obviously still came through since it's under 'science.'

It's a way to inflate the number of reads on a story they contribute since they already know many people filter out idle stories. It's getting ridiculous lately.

Programmable Quantum Computer Created 132

An anonymous reader writes "A team at NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) used berylium ions, lasers and electrodes to develop a quantum system that performed 160 randomly chosen routines. Other quantum systems to date have only been able to perform single, prescribed tasks. Other researchers say the system could be scaled up. 'The researchers ran each program 900 times. On average, the quantum computer operated accurately 79 percent of the time, the team reported in their paper.'"
