It doesn't work comparably to parallelism, despite such claims in popular science. You only get one result out per "run". Prior to measurement you can have some massive superposition of all states, but only one of them will be the actual output, selected randomly from the possibilities, with probability proportional to the square of its amplitude. If those amplitudes are not carefully controlled with a clever algorithm that specifically targets quantum computing, you would just get one of the results with no particular control over which result.

It's called a hex-beam. It is basically a set of 2 bent dipoles on each of several HF bands. One of the dipoles is driven and the other is a parasitic element. The wires are held in tension by the bent radial frame and spaced so that the dipole lengths correspond to the necessary wavelengths on each band. Usually they are for the 20, 15 and 10 meter bands, but all sorts of other combinations (i.e. 17 and 12 meters) are possible. The lower frequency bands (i.e. longer wavelengths) aren't practical because the size gets too big. More information: Bing hex beam[^] CQ de W5ALT Walt Fair, Jr., P. E.

Although one might claim that prosecutors should be fair since they have discretion. However this is just another case that demonstrates that should one want to expose a problem like this then one should only do it a way that insures that the reporter remains anonymous.

Mine has capacitive screen, 1.5GHz dual core. Android 4.04 UI is fantastic. Main grumbles: Charging time > 13 hrs (going from 10% left) manual was in chinese, I managed to get the english pdf from them. Resetting tablet reverted to Chinese. :( So it's a good idea to learn the menus, writing down the way to get locale back to English. It handles pretty much all media formats. Also beware of the apps store, it's notoriously full of apps with hidden extras to spy on your browsing habits/malware. Definitely avoid trying to 'root' the device, as some of the tools claiming to root it, might actually be malware too. I've been hit by them already. "It's true that hard work never killed anyone.

MS used to have an overwhelming majority market share, but times have changed and this anti-trust agreement should be either enforced equally across the board, or thrown out. Microsoft is being given a thorough playground wedgie, and doing nothing about it. Kinda wimpy of them I think.

In my experience, Dells Latitude series is working well, and the support really works, but you'll pay for it. While their cheapo models sucks Elephant balls, and their support is on that level too. On the other hand, my limited experience of HP is similar. It's the support level that makes the difference. Also, always check the "keep the harddrive" option. Otherwise, if the harddrive crashes, they will keep it and replace it with a clean drive. And one thing I've learnt is that even people that claim that they take backups, don't. Light moves faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak. List of common misconceptions
