    Some are.  The creme de la creme in technological minds.  In other words, not me.

    If it has more than one dimension, I'm lost.  Actually, many machine shops use multi dimensional computer controlled cutting machines now. Remember that show on TV called 'American Choppers'?  That big ape named Paul Senior had one of those machines.

    OS as told to Sharonna:

    My understanding of quantum computers is that they operate under the same basic principles as existing computers but faster.  So, writing software for quantum computers is not fundamentally different than writing software for other kinds of computers.

    Yes. We will probably need less people in the workforce to do the work of the computers today, but the vast superiority of quantum computers will make today's computing look like a joke.  This post was edited by carbonproduct at July 2, 2017 10:53 AM MDT

    I don't know much about them but you have sparked my interest. I shall do a bit of research. Aslo, did you know that MRI machines are really NMR. People don't like the word "nuclear", so they changed the name.
