I agree. This is a completely victim-less "crime". The part that bothers me the most, however, is that the girlfriend is not being charged too. Explain that.

EDIT: Not that I think either of them should be charged, just that if one is, they both should be.

There's an unofficial ratings system for those who post the jobs[1] that most people who use MT with any sort of regularity (including myself back in the day) use. If a requester consistently fails to pay out, they'll stop getting as many workers who are willing to work on their tasks.

I'm not as up on Quantum Computing as I'd like to be, but the title seems to imply that QC as a concept is no faster than regular computing. Which may be true for general purpose computing, but that's never what QC was intended for.

The title is slightly misleading. This article is only talking about the performance of one specific quantum computer. (The D-Wave Two).
