  Here’s my new password… “In the beginning god created Adam and E…5 years later…oxygen atoms can have a 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^4 electronic configurati…8 years later…the fifth string on the guitar instrument is again an E…0987654321##$$&” it’s pretty secure!

  Hey you still there? I am interested in the alibaba product! Come back! C’mon! I’ll copy paste it! I won’t sing it again! I promise!

      Darn! LOL! In this one Moses is going to pee in the river to make them come apart! Nobody’s gonna figure that one out! I’m so clever!

  They can power it with that fusion reactor that we’ll surely have by then. 🦄

    They can store the power in solid state batteries

    Designed by the first AGI, I’m sure.

  Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers

  I assume that’s in the same way that my chimney has long been vulnerable to Santa Claus.

    I think it is pretty widely accepted in cybersecurity that traditional encryption methods are vulnerable to quantum computers?

    This isn’t really a “cold fusion” thing.

    The entire desire to build a Quantum Computer is related to solving problems a traditional computer would take ages to do. There has been meaningful steady progress towards it too, though no one seriously expects results tomorrow.
