The Jar Jar comment is saying that they'll make it overly kid-friendly, meaning more such characters, not necessarily the exact same character. Maybe they'll visit a Peter Pan planet and a princess will become an X-wing fighter with her talking animal friend as the navigator.

That makes sense, as teenagers are often dumber than toddlers ;)

... are you claiming to get $120/month in bitcoins from a single GPU?

Most of the mining software will use the GPU to do it now, so if they all have a hardy video card it could still be cost effective.

I tried looking for a list of just known vulnerable web app product versions, but it just doesn't seem to exist, there's too much out there, too many plugins, etc.

Toddlers were eating those tiny magnet balls... which is a problem since it'll effectively punch holes in your intestines and kill you. It's not like it was grown men doing it.

Unity as a UI isn't that bad, but I found it unstable. After a few crashes where it left the UI completely unrecoverable, I installed cinnomon.

Yea, and no one uses SMS because of the spam it has right?

People use FB because you can message people without remembering their name instead of some random email address.

Probably because quantum entanglement can't actually transmit information so it's not actually of any use besides "look, we entangled them further!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

Thus, there is a correlation between the results of measurements performed on entangled pairs, and this correlation is observed even though the entangled pair may have been separated by arbitrarily large distances.[8] However, quantum entanglement does not enable matter to convey genuine information beyond the relativistic speed limit of normal spacetime.[9]
