    Werner and Leder have developed their own proof-of-concept scanner, which is available here.


    How is their scanner used? Do we use it in conjunction with n-map or something?

    Found a cure! As if we're talking about a true disease here. Sad really.
    Just another binary blob.

    P.S. Let me know when they solve something serious like protein folding or something.
