Isn't that same as quantum computing?

in a physics class ,its more important that the student understand the concept more than understanding any dataset or "precise graph/plot" plotting young`s modulus over stress and strain .
Submission + - Sir Tim Berners-Lee says web needs Bill of Rights (bbc.co.uk)
Martin S. writes: The BBC is reporting that Sir Tim Berners-Lee is calling for a 'Magna Carta' style bill of rights.
"It's time for us to make a big communal decision," he said. "In front of us are two roads — which way are we going to go?
What would you like to see in an internet Magna Carta?

Submission + - Physicist proposes a new type of computing at SXSW (gigaom.com) 2
SpankiMonki writes: Joshua Turner, a physicist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has proposed using the orbits of electrons around the nucleus of an atom as a new means to generate the binary states used in computing. Turner calls his idea orbital computing.
Turner points to recent discoveries (including a new material that allows rapid switching of it's electron states and new low-power terahertz laser technology) that could lead to the development of a computer with vastly improved performance over current technologies.

The airliners didn`t receive any Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) messages. So ,as you said ,there is a high possibility that ALL power had had lost.
Thanks for the insight and lets hope they return safe.

Taken directly from the DOTA2 source tree, the translation layer supports limited subset of D3D 9.0c, bytecode-level HLSL to GLSL translator, and some SM3 support. It will require some tinkering to get it to compile, and there is some hardcoded Source-specific stuff included.
Valve declared back in 2012 that OpenGL is indeed faster than DX11 even on windows - http://www.extremetech.com/gam... "The Valve Linux Team breaks it down on their shiny new blog: With an Nvidia GTX 680, Intel i7-3930k, and 32GB of RAM, Windows 7 and DirectX, Left 4 Dead 2 maxes out at 270.6 fps. With the same hardware, but different software — Ubuntu 12.04 and OpenGL — L4D2 scores 315 fps, almost 20% faster than Windows". The Dota2 community has grown so huge that tinkering these APIs won`t be any hurdle. Albeit,i personally feel that Values is essentially trying to bring back some of the old Russians/Chinese Dota Teams,who have yet not made any appearance in D2 because of the high graphics requirement in D2 compared to D1. All of this may change when Blizzard introduces their own D2.
