> Did you know that there's been an announcement that a quantum computer could be developed that would hold more than one value at the same time?
quantum computing has been in the works for a little while... right now i think they are emulating 4 bit processors (in software) no hardware quantum computers have been built...
the idea is the quantum computer is that instead of binary computers which work by existing in either of two STATES at the same time, quantum computer logic uses multiple states simultaeneously... this results in problem solving which is MUCH MUCH faster than regualar comuting because quantum computers can try different tests simultaneously...
...now if they could just make a low fat fudge cake that didn't let you down in the flavour department. (frowny face)
