  2. Violent behavior. on Violent Games 'Almost' As Dangerous as Smoking · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We didn't make it to the top of the food chain after millions of years of evolution by being non-violent. We are the result of millions of years worth of selectively breeding the best bad-asses of each generation. The only thing that fools people into thinking non-violence is good is that part of becoming the world's baddest-ass species was learning team violence (us vs. the prey, us vs. them). Seems to me that these games are just sensitizing us to behavior that is always there, just below the surface. Also seems to me that any aggressive team sports would have the same effect (football, basketball, hockey, politics).

  5. Advanced Craps cheating on Latest Research on Quantum Computing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ok, lets consider two dice to be our collections of qubits. They can each hold the superposition of the numbers 1 - 6. Shaking and throwing the dice cause the superposition of the values and decoherence happens when they come to rest.

    The question is, what do we use as 'bang-bang' pulses in order to keep the dice from decohering until we can coerce them into making our point?
