  1. I disagree. "Meditation" in the sense I've heard it used isn't even anything, it's a fancy word for focusing intensely on doing nothing. It's basically vegetating, but more formal, to give it credibility. The cure for boredom is getting good at doing things you love to do, not making a big fuss over doing nothing.

  2. As soon as he finished saying "healthy lifestyle" I was expecting him to get pounced on and eaten by a bear

  3. One of the things they'll be incredibly useful for is cracking data encryption and/or passwords. Quantum computers will make data security obsolete. They could potentially make it impossible for banks, governments, the military etc. to have any data security whatsoever.

  4. Wow, interesting! Thanks for posting this. The old dude was real icy about it all, wasn't he? Straight Gangsta.

  5.  @kevinscales  Until somebody invents a way to crack it :) It just takes time for someone to figure out how to do it. If it's in any way possible to do something with a computer, somebody will figure out how eventually. Just look at what we're doing with our computers right now.

  6.  @Nathan-tg4gu  You could have a good point there. Despite my own personal preference for actually using my brain, I've vegetated for many years, having started very early in life when my parents sent me to school. maybe I'm just not working hard enough at it :)

  7.  @makingitthrough190  A Watt is a unit of physical power, it can be electrical, mechanical or even thermal (heat) or light, or sound. If you have an electrical power source, the power in Watts is the voltage times current. So, a 12-volt light bulb using 5 amperes of current (like a car headlight) would be 12V x 5A = 60 Watts of power. In physics, energy is the amount of physical change that can occur, or has already occurred. Heating an object up or cooling it down, speeding something up or slowing it down, that sort of deal--it means energy has been transferred (physical work has been done.) Power is how quickly energy is transferred--alternatively, how quickly physical change occurs--how quickly physical work gets done, if you wish. A Watt of power is one Joule of energy per second. One Joule is the energy needed to change the temperature of one gram of pure water by 0.24 degrees C. So, if you heat up or cool down a gram of water 0.24C per second, that's one Watt of power.

  8. If your job provides relief from boredom, count yourself fortunate, because for most people it's the exact opposite!

  10.  @Memovox  Possibly. You still have to store it somewhere, but if data encryption becomes impossible then a storage of value can no longer be done purely electronically like in today's society.

  11. Canadian here, how come every time I stumble across a video that has anything to do with Australia, it always has huge, hairy bugs and all sorts of other animals that can kill people? It's like finding a video about the USA and it's always about being fat, being in a gang and doing hard drugs.
