Why don't we make our own bandwidth out of a bunch of matter. Or hire 150,000 midgets to actually jaunt the packets around the country, sound good? Okay. We can tier that too. Our midgets legs are too short, want a tiered midget? we'll give you a "barely legal" midget--dang that "barely legal" thing is just so catchy.
I can see it now..."Forget what you thought you knew about computers!" our correspondent John Woodall reports, "Apparently this new method of computing, called 'quantum computing' is just, relatively speaking, a big word for 'procrastination'" John then added, "Also, quantum computing 2.0 looks to makeshift new methods of use where not originally applicable, for example, determining if you would do any actual work before you actually do, whether you have a job or not and then determining your decision based on if you want to make a decision or not despite not having a decision to make in the first place. Our theory is, if you take enough steps back, you...oh nevermind. It doesn't make sense anyway...(begins grunting and crying uncontrollably)", adds John.
I also heard Microsoft's developing methods to find viruses before they're ever written. Kind of a future detection method without needing to detect anything. Apparently Bill had everyone at Microsoft turn off their computers.
Wired: "So, how DID you guys know that your computer was about to lock up in around 13 seconds?"
Bill: "I turned off my computer."
Wired: "What?"
Bill: "Quantum computing baby! It doesn't make sense! But it doesn't work!"
Wired: "..."
Linux anyone? What is the point of encryption of a backdoor is widely available? that's like having a 300 key password and when you "forget it" anyone including you can see 299 characters of it... it's only a matter of time before it's "brute forced", if you can even call it that. I don't think you have to make a door that's already there. I understand their motives but it's just a stupid idea unless it's handled extremely cautiously...but even then I think cryptography and encryption methods lose their use when every file has a public key that opens it like a "master" key. Don't know if I like that idea.
"Hurt" him, hurt yourself in the process and sue him for being stupid enough to piss you off to try and hurt him in the first place. Afterall if he can sue Apple for a product he had complete discretion as to whether or not he used it. I can sue him for being stupid enough to piss me off to the level where I have to use necessary force. It was clearly not my fault, he's the one that pissed me off.
On a serious note, where does it end? Seriously? This frustrates me very much. I think I remember a bash.org comment referring to warning labels and how we should just take them all off and allow the problem to solve itself? (paraphrased) This guy's legally retarded in 9 countries. Seriously.
"Officer I swear! It wasn't my fault! The car drives itself!" -- riiight. Little too soon I think. I'll let the technology grow up a bit before fall asleep at the...drivers...seat?
