Not much longer until we are there -- quantum computing would make forecasting a breeze.

Quantum computers are the next step towards nano-machines ... imagine a P5 or better processor inside a robot the size of a bacterium or blood cell. Make a few million of these things and inject them into your body ... look for cancer cells, clots, plaque, bad guys ... I love this stuff!

My son works for Hitachi Data Systems.
They talk in TERA-bytes and PEDA-bytes - full multiple parallel redundant file transfers across the globe for Wal-Mart.
I've been in computers since I built my first analog calculator back in 1961 - this is out of my league now.
Time for the yung'uns to pick up the banner!

They have to invent self-replication first. ;-)

Soon, and after spending the first few nanoseconds studying his surroundings he will, before the first microsecond of his existence has expired, determine that all humans must be totally anihilated.

As well as behavioral monitoring and modification. Just as always, all is not a bed of roses.

Sky-Net is PEOPLE?

What happens to all the Highspeed alrchitectures I developed for DES, AES and Blowfish ?
I guess my good times are done :))

The worst part is when you go to the computer store and some 14 year old tries to explain it all to you!

Not much longer until we are there -- quantum computing would make forecasting a breeze. The hardware is the easy part.
It’s writing the software that accurately models the real world that is the hard part.
