I realise this isn't on the FP but Catherine C. McGeoch the principle scientist performing the experiment is a D-Wave employee so there's a bit of a conflict of interest!

You're not a programmer are you? There's no such thing as bug-free code. Just like no writer can proof read his own novel, no programmer can truely find every bug in his own code.
Absolutely it's called Author Bias. Also what about bugs in the specification? Even a crack team of QA testers won't catch every bug they just reduce the risk significantly.

Alternatively can I have double time when the bugs are in the specification or the client moves the goalposts?

I carried that pipe through the mag-line, in my MOPP carrier for a week and a half with out any of the magnetometers going off.
That's not surprising, not every metal is magnetic.
No but even a glass of water has a distinct magnetic resonance.

"not list people's SSN addresses and financial data in a google search result" then yes i think i can get that right on the first try.
And will that stop some fucktard fax monkey from uploading a spreadsheet full of this info to your DMZ where google & everyone else can read it? We don't even know if this was a software fault.

tedlistens writes "Andrew “weev” Auernheimer, who is currently serving jail time for exposing an AT&T security hole, is sharing a 10x10 cell in solitary with another inmate, and is let out only three times a week for a 15-minute shower. After visiting weev on Sunday, his lawyer Tor Ekeland called this treatment “odd for someone convicted of a non-violent computer crime,” and “a bit draconian” as it appears “[weev] is being punished for his speech.” Last week, Weev had been placed in solitary confinement reportedly for posting messages to Twitter and SoundCloud."

I know sorry USA also had 1st semi re-usable space craft, 1st docking in space and 1st Geo synchronos. However if you look at it pre 1966 it's pretty one sided with I think the only NASA 1st being having two manned space craft within 200 yards of each other whilst in orbit. It all changed when Sergi Pavlovich Korolyev died he had essentially blagged the Soviet space program from the start (They only let him launch Uri Gagarin because he told them they needed someone to man the radio).
