Sorry, I am not sure they still have it. It was ordered from the European branch of spreadshirt[dot]com, but I cannot find this particular one anymore.

When I put this search string into Google "mathematician programmer coffee cup" it did not find that one but did find sime other amusing ones.

Did you see 60 minutes tonight? IBM is supposed to have a huge PR thing about Quantum Computing THAT WORKS!! They use Qubits instead of cores with each Qubit being an exponential increase of the one before it, so a pc with 5 Qubits would have a hundred thousand, their numbers not mine, cores equilivent. BUT a Qubit doesn't have just on and off like a transistor does it's more like flipping a coin, again their example, and being able to use every single edge, side etc of the coin to compute with not just heads or tails. They cool it to near absolute zero and it's HUGE so kinda like the early Cray models. But they say once it's up and running it will be faster than anything on the planet by MILLIONS of computations per second. Of course other countries are working on their own Quantum pc's as well so I'm guessing it won't be long before every Country that can afford one will have one in the not too ditant future.
One example they used was Folding and being able to see if happen in real time instead of after the computations are done. The example video was one I've seen on both Folding and Rosetta in the past.
Were the Chicago Bears that good? Or the Detroit Lions that bad?

I tried but it was declined and I didn't care for the 'add this too' stuff at the end but would have been okay to buy a mug.

I always have to contain myself somewhat with regards to funny mugs. I have too many as it is. This is still my favourite:
