I had to read it twice to understand. But it is early in the morning for me.

So, I could go to Free Republic and view the latest articles without turning on my computer?

I's amazing, I first understood the concept of quantum-computers when I read "Transit" by Michael Chricton :(
When they get it right there will be no limits for what a computer can do, I think...

Actually if our brains where quantum we would know the articles without even having to read them.

Although we would have to expose our brain to the articles in some way

I was going to read this but then I decided not to, and somehow I understood everything that was in the article.

"A non-running computer produces fewer errors,"How true! My computer hasn't made a single error while it's been turned off.

If I could surf FR with my computer turned off I could save a lot of time.

Think of it as the particle still standing where it is but it's shadow moving through the shadow of the computer.
The shadow would the quantum nature of the particle allowing it to exist in multiple states at the same time
and the shadow, not being an actual shadow, allows feedback back to the particle altering it.

I guess it's like an electron tunneling through an infinitely large potential.
The political analogy might be a kernel of truth and logic getting into a hard leftist's head.
