I've read a few articles on quantum computing before this, and while they tend to give a general idea of what it's about, they tend not to go into any depth on quantum logic and what you can actually do with individual qubits (or if they do, they're so dry I end up falling asleep before that point). These videos show what kinds of operations you can perform on qubits mathematically and how you can form concrete quantum circuits/algorithms out of quantum gates. The bits on superdense encoding and quantum teleportation certainly helped put everything into perspective. They're aimed more at the computer scientist or mathematician rather than the physicist, which suits me just fine. My only critiques would be that he goes into (imho, superficial) proofs too often, he could have drawn more parallels with boolean logic and illustrated a lot of the linear algebra with visual representations.

The problem with this is that it only takes the first token. Tools like sed are most useful in the middle of a pipeline.

They're Raging on about how Tech 5 megatextures can render vast landscapes without compromising performance. I think an Elder Scrolls game would be a perfect showcase for this in action. *fingers crossed*

On Gentoo I just had to disable CONFIG_SOUND in the kernel and install the package from a repo, and that was last year (I think just as 2.6.28 came out, not entirely sure). I don't see why you'd need to patch your kernel as all you need should be in the modules.

As opposed to.. spherical dice?

FYI, 5.1 is affected. The countermeasure is in 5.2.

Gentoo seems to be up to date, both for arch and ~arch.

Agreed. Eliza Dushku was one of the reasons I was first skeptical about the show. From the start of the show I've been baffled as to why they didn't cast Amy Acker for the part of Echo; she's already proved she can be an extremely versatile actress on Angel (Boo Faith, Yay Fred, etc. etc.)

I don't think your average YouTuber is the kind to upgrade their CPU every time a faster one comes out. Hell, I can run Crysis fine on my Conroe from 3 years ago, why not YouTube?

In RA1, get a group of grenadiers and make them force fire at the ground in front of them. Just as they're about the throw their grenades, force fire anywhere on the map and they'll throw the grenade there, regardless of whether the target is in range or not. It's basically extremely cheap artillery with infinite range - certainly one of the most 'cheaty' glitches I've come across.
