That question has been long answered: the one where your pinky says 'snap'.

uh should be 4 quantum states instead of 4 qubits.

lemme see:

So it seems to be in a superposition of 4 qubits (and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few), so: Yes it can run linux, or better: linux IS quantum computing.

Submission + - Scientists Find a New Molecule that Will Make Your Teeth Cavity-Proof
An anonymous reader writes: Scientists have created a new molecule that may make teeth cavity-proof and may change dental care forever. The new molecule, named Keep 32, after the 32 teeth in a normal human mouth, can wipe out bacteria that cause cavities in just 60 seconds.

Maybe...
They are confirming that they have discovered a new boson which falls very close to the expected range for the Higgs Boson, but they emphasize that they are still needing more data."

Diggester writes: "Scientists at CERN say they've found the Higgs particle with 5-sigma accuracy — about 1 in 3 million. Evidence of the particle's existence in the 126GeV mass range was gleaned from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva."

A very interesting approach and quite cool.
But I have some doubts.
For me, the most annoying during rain is the glare from the wet road itself. When very wet, you can't see the markings (because of glare) which can lead to dangerous situations.
The article does not mention this.
And a second thing: shouldn't we be ditching headlights completely and go for a more sci-fi approach like HUD's, sensors...?
Predator did quite a good job...
Submission + - Texas college take over drone by GPS spoofing (rt.com)
Simon321 writes: A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government. With just around $1,000 in parts, Humphreys’ team took control of an unmanned aerial vehicle owned by the college, all in front of the US Department of Homeland Security. Iran has claimed to use a similar technique to capture a US surveillance drone last year. The US military denied this and claimed 'Iran had nothing to do with the UAV crash landing'.
