Damn, I can't get that Neowin Posting thing to work on my XP box or on my Win2K box. Both give me errors.

the neowin posts is a program done by Matrox here http://members.lycos.co.uk/matrox101/

quickchanger i found at deviantart in the software section

the toolbar at the top is tlb www.truelaunchbar.com

and the visual style is soft body, by space monkey.

cheers.

were did u get the bubble sweet icons??? the red grey ball icons and stuff

(the urls are pics that r on)

and any one know urls to sweet ass glass bubble icons?

-Thanks Aaron

Well if your talking about the nautilus sgv icons it's still missing two files that i didn't get a chance to convert but i've also upped them to tss2000's site now and i might redo the recicle bin and the folders to look more like the original, sorry about the vertical stretching :( my bad.

i resisted as long as i could!

1st time I saw the hacked classic style i thought jeez, that's ugly.

2nd time i thought, well, boring.

now i think it's cool. i hate that.

i think there are some bugs to be worked out still, but overall a good piece of work.

two suggestions, Kol, keeping in mind I have no idea about how you do this:

a subtle mouse-over effect for the open apps on the task bar the way you did for the quicklaunch icons;

and take a look at the menus (file, edit, etc.) for non-windows apps (photoshop, winrar, etc.), they have a white background which clashes with the soft grey. i can post a screenshot if you want.

otherwise, thanks for a style that really stands out.

      In the boot options in the UEFI is set to legacy or CMS? It needs to be set to UEFI if it's not already.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

      Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
