It won't become the thing for general computing use. There are specific applications where quantum operations can compute faster, but if it's a matter of what computers are normally used for, standard digital computing hardware is the thing.
That said, quantum processor cores may become an accessory you can buy for your computer, complete with the software needed to set up quantum optimization problems, and high end scientific workstations might have them built in some day.
...The means by which they work are novel, due to the aforementioned remote requirements, but the end result is not really different from what could be done in any decent lab 50 years ago. Honestly, a decent scientist with a shovel and a few thousand dollars in high school lab gear could do better than all the rovers ever sent. God help us if we ever needed a probe to do something _really_ difficult.
So by all means, send what probes are needed to figure out how to get people there, but anything beyond that will just provide minimal information at enormous cost.
But the cost of sending a person there dwarfs the mission cost and there would be a much greater chance of total mission failure because of the complexity of the life support systems.
Nonsense. Plenty of private employers hire ex-military. If he's been flying jets for the military for years, he has plenty of experience in a very marketable skill: flying planes. But for an engineering job, he's entry level because flying planes has not much to do with electrical engineering.
The manufacturers of other cars have to sell through dealers because of these laws, and they don't want Tesla to have an advantage, and the existing dealers want a chance to become dealers for Tesla so they can get a share of that action.
They could attack government people and do significant harm to infrastructure.
But here's the real question: they raided some homes and --- arrested nobody. So that makes me think that when they raided the homes, they found no real evidence and maybe there was no real plot. A bunch of Islamic guys who met at the mosque, send each other email and discovered a common interest in say, pylon racing and who also read e-news about bombings in their homelands does not constitute a plot against the government.
First B&N and Borders gobbled up the bookstore market. Then B&N and Google killed off Borders. Now B&N may be going down, leaving Google with a near monopoly in the book market and no local stores I can browse. Fuckety fuck fuck fuck.
No, Magellan only made it as far as the Philippines and then he was killed. It was Juan Sebastian Elcano who completed the voyage.
That's true. And it did take 3 years to finish the voyage. They actually got back in 1522 (those few who made it all the way). However, people sail around the world in sailboats almost routinely now, in under a year.
I'm sorry but this is complete nonsense.Francis Chichester sailed around the world under solar power in 1966.
I suspect it was a lot "greener" to build his boat that this.
No wonder Jeremy Clarkson talks about the "green monster"
Ferdinant Magellan did it in 1520. (Wind power is solar power, conveniently converted to a form more amenable to pushing ships.)
It is the users of the new meaning that don't understand what people are saying, and can't understand a large body of literature. The problem gets worse the longer literate society exists.
Except that no such thing has yet been demonstrated. What has been demonstrated is that by measuring the state of one entangled particle, you can correctly deduce the state of another entangled particle, regardless of the distance. Demonstrating that it is so takes nonzero time which in every experiment performed so far, takes more time than it does for the particles to transit the entire aparatus.

So driving my car qualifies me to design cars? Wow, who knew we had so many engineers!
That depends on where you're going. At 80%c, time dilation is only 64%. I wouldn't get across the galaxy in my lifetime.
That's not a problem. Many physics labs have accelerators can do more than a significant fraction of c. An efficient ion drive must also be low-mass.

Any government or infrastructure building with a window, for starters.

I think he's going to say it's not Congress's business what restrictions a state puts on their sales outlets.

And yet when it comes to getting elected, he seems pretty clever, or at least more clever than the competition.
Damn you Kirrrrrk!
And I thought my internet was slow in the 90s.

Would you trust 7-Eleven with a copy of your key? I wouldn't. But I might put a copy in my wallet.
They're building a god.

It's not so bad. Floating on a ship is one of the most efficient ways to carry weight.

Strictly speaking, carbon nanotubes are semiconductor materials as well.
It's not accurate at all. Why are you substituting one even more implausible untruth for another?

Maybe because some of us understand what quantum tunneling is and that it doesn't involve anything moving faster than the speed of light.
