The capital loss would be included in the computation of his New York state income tax.
From an economic standpoint, that obviously has some advantages over more expensive materials such as superconductors or diamonds, which have been used in other quantum computation applications.
"We won't see such garments in stores for another 20 or 30 years, but the practical and creative possibilities are exciting, " said Prof Joanna Berzowska, of the Department of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
Meanwhile, Dr Forrest's group has constructed an experimental set-up, described in a paper recently submitted to the Evolutionary Computation Journal, that mimics the way real immune systems identify invading pathogens.
Business like Server and Tools, which champions cloud computing and wants to move computation to the datacenter, are in competition with Windows, which wants to keep computing on the desktop.
The simple part is to see that computation, storage and communication are moving in the direction of cost free.
Microsoft Research architect Jaron Lanier, a pioneer in virtual reality and visual computing, is starting a new lab in San Francisco dedicated to developing new kinds of computation, based on tactile and motor experiences.
Yet I believe that taking principles from one domain and applying them to a new context -- in this case mixing traditional visual aesthetics with advanced computation and algorithms -- is where the practice of design tends to make its biggest marks.
Most recently, a team from Stanford took the helm of Sequoia to run computational fluid dynamics simulations -- a process that requires a finely tuned balance of computation, memory and communication components -- in order to better understand engine noise from supersonic jets.

This means that atoms in different traps could be brought together, made to perform a computation and then separated.
"A kid in Africa with a smartphone is walking around with a trillion dollars of computation circa 1970, " he says.

In addition, the web-based service is able to do complicated computation on behalf of a robot - for example if it needs to work out how to navigate a room, fold an item of clothing or understand human speech.
HP's contribution, in addition to the sensors, includes on-site networking, storage and computation.
It may appear that ramping up your hours to materially participate in an activity is a no-brainer, because by converting the activity from passive to nonpassive, you can pull the resulting income out of the computation of net investment income and save an extra 3.8% in tax.
FORBES: Overview Of The New 3.8% Investment Income Tax, Part 2: Passive Activities
In a later calculation, the Grid's software could then automatically detect whether a computation had to be started from scratch, or could take a short cut using a previous result stored somewhere in the system.
ECONOMIST: REPORT: COMPUTER NETWORKS: Computing power on tap | The
In other words, you can either have intelligence (human brain form), or super fast computation, but not both.
FORBES: The Blurring Line Between Science And Science Fiction
"We are going to extend the grid, bring in more computers, " said Charles Catlett , a researcher at the University of Chicago's Computation Institute and the director of the TeraGrid project.
"We were motivated by a desire to design a system for anyone to both build with fabric in a way similar to playing with Lego and create objects that are rich with relevant context-aware computation without having to program, " said Nanda, who devised the patches for a project towards a Media Arts and Sciences masters degree.
