The quantum computer produced an answer to something without actually running... in an idle mode. :eyepop:

You mean you want to know what a quantum computer is?
Here's the wikipedia article about it...

Can you explain what it is Fox?

 

[Zayne.H]

God you people!Dont you know computers?

 

[DemonBanisher54]

So whats so special about that?

 

[Zayne.H]

Gahhhhhhhh,If you want to know what is so special about it then go to the Wikipedia link that Fox posted.

If you dont undrestand that then Email me about it ill tell you!

No no no no no. I understand the computer and all that shit, its just whats the big whoop? So a computer calculated an equation while in idle mode. Its noot like its an advance in technology or anything. Its just a mysterious happening.

Well i'll post a story about scientist think computers will run on them selfs in about 60 years...

It is an advance in quantum computing technology. It doesn't directly affect me or you today, but one day it will when we're all using personal quantum computers.
