  1. Re:How do the plan to read the spin state? on Silicon Buckyballs = Quantum Bits? · · Score: 1

    spin only has 2 states. if it had infinit states then QM would not be able to make predictions and would therefore never have been created.

  2. Re:How do you address them? on Silicon Buckyballs = Quantum Bits? · · Score: 1

    I would assume that they would be addressed by the mechanizm that created them inside the quantom computer. they would have to be sent in a physical direction by some sort of navigation device that shoots them in a streem of particals.

    but i AM MOSTLIKLY WRONG ON ALL ACCOUNTS :)

  3. Re:stupid q: but WHat IS? on Silicon Buckyballs = Quantum Bits? · · Score: 1

    no....a buckyball is a moleculare structure, a fullerene is a sub-atomic particle.

    two seperate size scales.

    doesn't the article suggest that the tungston core makes the buckyball stronger while giving it trasport properties base on the spin of the tungston atom?

  6. Could Hurt Microsoft on Want a Sparc Workstation for $995? · · Score: 1

    This could end up hurting M$ in the long run.

    you have a market where on one side you have the sparc and on the other you have the Itanium.

    an Itanium workstation would most likly cost around 2k. with a sparc station, which runs better than the Itanium, at half the price, buissness owners in need of a 64-bit system will likly go with Sun and not Dell.

    on the Sun system the OS market is much more competitive than on the intel platform. there is Solaris, Linux ,NetBSD, and NT4(which is a joke in comparison to the others)

    Microsoft will get hurt more now because more people are buying Sun systems and in that market they have a vary week hand hold.

    so they could end up losing bigtime when it comes to buissness profits.

    I mean if you are going to buy a sun workstation why would you buy winblows and ruin the system?

  7. Equal Speech? on P2P Will Lead To Higher ISP Charges? · · Score: 1

    Do you live outside the United States?

    Equal speech is not the same as free speech.

    Equal Speech just means that everyone can say what everyone else can say.

    that does not guarantee a persons right to say what he or she wants when they want it(which is freedom of speech)

    I could say that no one can say the word "Cat" and eveyone would have equal speech because no one can say "Cat".

    sorry just a bit nit-pickie :)
    otherwise, the rest of the statment is good.

    hey even if it is agenst the law to hold illegal data it will never be illegal to transmit data. the packets are moving at the physical, transport, and network level, they do not supply anything to the data.

  15. Re:This is aimed at removable media, right? on IBM CPRM Plan Replaced with Similar Copy-Prevention Plan · · Score: 1

    yeah and reading the Guru article a few posts earlier I get the feeling that this tech will still alow a copy from the original but not one from the copy of the original.....if that is what it ends up to be then its not that bad.....since to be able to get a boot leg one would have to run an operation out of his or her house making it a much more conspicuous activity than p2p or IRC and such.....I could live with that as long as I can make unlimited copies from the original.

    dude, I don't care if the creators of a particular work want to protect there work or not, keeping people from copying it is there problem not the problem of Hard drive manufacturers.

    by blocking the media or worse the MOBO data buses they are restricting my rights, I should have the right to break the law in protest of that said law. when I do, it is then my responsability to suffer any ramifications.
