Yea, I read some of the stuff on that list and I think the comments came from people that failed Grade II XVII times.

I vote that site the stupidest site in the internet
Yes, Croatia, you kicked started my rememberer, I recall (now) you told me!

NON-EDIT: And S11 is soooooo easy to mislead too.

I do so love how GUGL Translate did a number on your "Welsh" up there:

Now everyone whistle at 'damo' when he walks buy in the Lab halls.
And bet on me as being the most (insert somthing here) of BL Users.

You're an intelligent and good person.

"These guys want nothing more than to be German.... that puts them in a special category of stupid ass."

Next week my wife will apply for her pension in the authorities.
As "trained GDR citizens" we are once again amazed,
how authorities speculate on human stupidity.
For over 30 years they have been lying about our country of birth, where the beams bend...

^^Thanks unklar
(I wasn't fishing for 'compliments', I was just amused with yet another online poll, which actually ended up as a news in quite a few top news sites here in Croatia )

Sector11 · 2019-01-03 20:55:24

That's sad. It's said that blood is thicker than water, and while that's true one can choose their friends not their relatives.

I cringe when I hear "you have to respect him, he's your (insert family member type here).

HORSE FEATHERS! Respect, no mater who, is something that must be earned.
I FEARED my father and stepfather - there was ZERO respect there!

KUDOS to your great grandfather who followed his heart!

Sector11 · 2019-01-05 19:41:29

WELL SAID!

Looks like you have a little (at least) of your great grandfather in you.
And that's a good thing.

Ok look, I admit it, I have no rights to be here as I am a spring chicken compared to you you guys. I am only 58. I wondered if I could perhaps become an honourary member?
I started on computers aged 13 at school on a teletype connected by accoustic coupler to Birmingham university (UK). Birmingham university taught me Mnemonic Assembly Language and BASIC, at age 14 I applied to a large corporation for a summer job in their computer centre. I was working as a Computer Operator on IBM 370/158's and 159's
they told me to apply for a job when I was 16 and they would employ me. Aged 16 I was in charge of the printers on the day shift - I operated the first laser printers in a commercial environment (as opposed to a test environment) in the UK. Aged 18 I became a computer operator working on shifts and spent my spare time and even stayed behind after work to test my COBOL and BASIC programs that I loved writing. I stayed in operations though as I preferred learning about the hardware and the operating system rather than programming.

See this post, and this one.

AFAIAC you are welcome in the Club Lounge, but don't sit in the comfy chairs by the fire, and definitely don't eat my biscuits ( aka cookies! ) from the kitchen cupboard

Sector11 · 2019-01-17 00:18:25

Yup, I vote AYE! for Honourary Membership for THX1138.

And that brown lazy-boy next to damo's chair, that's mine - it's off limits.

Coffee and doughnuts on the counter. You drink the last cuppa, you make a pot.
Doughnuts are left in the wooden box outside the exit door every morning. Free day-old from the bakery across the street.
We installed BL on their computer.

Anyway THX you'll be over the official limit in 2 years, so welcome!

Ok heres a question.
Back in the 1970's when I was just a little kid, our computer studies teacher said "By the time you kids grow up the computer industry is aiming to have a computer in every house", well we all fell about laughing and just could not accept that within 10, 15, 20 years, whatever, every house would have a computer system. This was because computer systems back then took up the size of a football field, besides, what on earth would anyone do with a computer in their house? Soooo, the question is, will there ever be a time when every household has quantum computers in them? will there ever be mobile quantum computers?

brontosaurusrex · 2019-01-20 21:45:33

Let's OSS. (Where I exert high level of political correctness in a humorous way).

They would need to be mobile to stay above the rising sea level We may have more important things to do than worry about personal QC's!

Mind you, if they can get them working at ambient temperature instead of churning out gigawatts of heat from the cooling systems, they may come up with a solution by using them, just in time hopefully

Sector11 · 2019-01-20 23:15:31

damo has it right. A a species we worry about the wrong things. Money, position and power, and not necessarily in that order.

However, we laughed then, we marvelled that 640k was enough for everyone. So ... if we don't do ourselves in ... yea, it's possible that someone might figure it out.

Personally, I'd just prefer breathing clean air, doubt that will happen in my lifetime..

Yes.
Every household will be a quantum computer.
And much more you can't even begin to imagine.
