    But you'll be looking at Sky.Net through Windows. Does this mean that the terminators will crash every 1/2 hour?

      It's best that way. It's the only way to ensure garbage collection.

            In the three movies, how many times have we seen the T-800 reboot? It's been obvious since 1991 and T-2 that Sky.Net was a superset of Windows. edit: reference to T-1 and 1984 removed to eliminate time paradox

                        That is, something OTHER than "Are you sure?"

                        "impossible" is just an opinion.

                                Now we will receive millions times more spam and malware than we do already. Remember the spammers will have those machines as well. Then when Q-McAfee comes out it will proceed to absorb a huge chunk of QAM and QPU like it does now with RAM and CPU. It still boggles my mind that McAfee currently occupies over 100 times the original PC's memory space. Q-Vista will run slower than ever. On the up side you can get all the pron on the internet instantaneously.

                                  Well, the PC will change shape for sure but, once again, software development will lag behind hardware advancement. How the hell are you supposed to program that thing in the first place? :suss:

                                    No, you'll be able to hit all three at the same time, and all three will simultaneously fail to get you out of your predicament. Now, if you can hit all three AND the power button at the same time.....

                                      Why does "everyone" (=journalists) think that quantum computers will be much faster than traditional computers? Quantum computers are no magic machines that can brute-force anything in parallel. AFAIK, they don't make breaking AES easier. So far, there are only a few quantum algorithms that are significantly better than the best known traditional counterpart. Unfortunately, factoring large numbers is one of them, so basically all asymmetric cryptography is broken.

                                      Of course this is still all theoretical. It's never been done--I'm pretty sure that would be big news.

                                          It's already been done with a handful of qubits. The existing quantum computers have so few qubits that the numbers that can be factored by them are so small that can be factored easily using pen and paper, but that's going to change as larger quantum computers get build. Sure, scaling up quantum computers is a huge technical problem, but I think it'll be solved soon.
