In other news, Microsoft is hard at work on the new version of Windows capable of bringing this machine grinding to a halt! ;)

I guess there’s FReepers who understand the benefits of this kind of speed.

Seems to me if there is something out there that is unfathomably fast, input data about nerves, the nervous system and brain injury and pop out a way to heal it.

do all the veterans with the injury a big service.

if it can’t do that, what can it do?

This means it completes an action before you even ask it to?

It means it’s obsolete before you buy it.

The PTB at Google state as their goal, “to be the literal mind of God”. Nothing to worry about here at all.

Yes but is it as fast as Obama calling for gun control when a mass shooting happens?

It’s a little closer than where we were.

I'm reminded of this article:

Quasar Found 420 Trillion Times Brighter Than Our Sun

Does anyone have any idea how brighter an object just 1 trillion times brighter than the sun is?

Most of us could/would not benefit from a PC that is just 10 times faster. But....100 million times faster!!!!

I always wanted to type faster—maybe this machine would be able to help with that.

Ha! Reminds me of an Arthur C. Clarke classic short story. The Nine Billion Names of God

Read It Here.

It will still lag on a Battlefield server when it is chock full of Eastern Europeans with pings over 250. And everything will still be “gay”(Russkies think everything is gay).

And forcing it down the throats of users on older Windows versions who have managed to obtain some level of stability.

The Quantum chip is 2^300th Power.

So you can understand this.

Moore’s law has been in place since the 1960s. He said the microchip would double in power every year or so.

So if Moore’s law of the microchip kept doubling in power every year. How many years would it take to get to the first Quantum Chip?

Answer: A little over 6,200 years.

Let’s think about this 6,200 year jump. 5,000 years ago we had Pharaohs in Egypt. Jesus was around 2000 years ago. So this chip is a leap of 6,200 years forward in chip power.

This is why it’s called the great leap.

What does this mean? Well over the years we have seen how computers have become better as the processing power improved. Think about it this way. When Thomas Edison created the light bulb. Think how much the world had changed in over 100 years. However, if you would have told people what would happen at the time about it. They would have never believed it because they would look back and how life was. Ditto the personal computer that came out in the late 60s early 70s. Although it took far less than the light bulb.

The Quantum chip will do this. In other words we will be LITERALLY LIVING in the Jetsons very soon. 14 years from now is the target date or 2029.

The so called Elite call it “The Singularity”. Just look it up on Youtube and it will give you a good explanation about it. Yes this will be in your lifetime.

So... a computer built this way might actually run your Fallout 4.

Reminds me of a Stephen Wright comment:

"I bought a new camera. It's so advanced you don't even need it."
