yeah computers are pretty confusing... How many transistors are on a Pentium 4 circut? I think the number is something like 62 Million transistiors!!! All on something about the size of your thumb... We've come a LONG way since vaccum tubes.

Of course I don't think we have anything fast enough or with enough memory that can generate a simulation like the matrix... Yet.

You think computers are complex now?? Just wait until quantum computers (not bull s***ing you here). A normal computer uses trasistors as switches to do calculations, and store data... It can be read by a simple 1 (switch in the on position) or 0 (the switch is off). Now imagine the switch being able to be on and off at the same time by using the quantum state of an atom... now you enter the F***ed up world of quantum computing.

Too bad protoypes can only do calculations up to 3 x 3, needs massive amounts of sheilding, and not to mention they are unstable.

Give it 10 years, and maybe you too can have your own matrix simulation!

My guesses as to who will develop the technology first... probably some big time Spy agency like the CIA or more likely the NSA (national security agency)... Just because it would be invaluable to them. A quantum computer could take a day at cracking an encryption, compared to a normal computer would take several thousand years to do. Not bad eh?

how did we get to quantum computers from guns?? [Loco]

quantum computers used as targetting mechanisms for smart guns mebbe eh.. [umm]

flat out, I like guns, but they're for p***sies..blades r bettah

Ohh and I aint talking just field strip, I mean the M16 has only 7 parts to take care of when field stripping. I mean I want to be able to gauge and maintain my weapon.

yeah it is ray im in matrix 2 in the hell club scean that is what i ment about seeing myself on the big screan

do question wether or not you have ever shot a gun
Raymund - I know you didn't ask me directly, but here's two of my gun experiences:

I've shot and killed pigs, rabbits and kangaroos to cull numbers where they are causing problems for the land, or for food.

My family has experienced both a murder and a suicide thanks to guns being readily available.

What I want to know is why would anyone who lives in the city - and is not a member of a gun club that meets for training or competition - actually need a gun?

A bit like asking about four wheel drives - why would anyone living in the city need a four wheel drive?

Well... people dont need much, just a way to shield ourselves from the elements, feed and hydrate. Other than that, everything is a want!


Yes even you pig killers [Razz] guns are just a want, cars are just a want heaven forbid, but computers are just a want.


My experiance with guns has been limited to the Corps. I didnt grow up with them, or around them.

Both my parents were Air Force, and both grew up with guns in the house, so why they didnt get any I dont know. My natual grandfather (mothers side) made his own stocks and rounds.

Ehh... I aint much for them, but I know a thing or three about them.

I dont know if I will ever own a gun, I wouldnt mind owning one but ehhh... I'll have to ask Rozi's permission [Razz]

So people should be allowed to have guns because they want them? [umm]

I want a massive explodey napalm device. It's ok, though. I'm not going to use it, and massive explodey napalm devices are perfectly safe if used responsibly.

Of course other people will want one too, but i'm sure they're all responsible too. Don't worry, it'll be fine.

And remember
Massive explodey napalm devices don't kill people.
Disease, famine, natural disasters or people kill people [Razz]

just seen the new trailer for Matrix: Reloaded, gives away TOO much, and i think may just have ruined it for me, so DONT GO TO THE CINEMA IF YOU DONT WANT TOO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! (and i had a hunch about it, and unfortunatly it was right).


As for the NRA stance on guns:

"Guns dont kill people, People do!"

um, yeah, but i think the gun helps. What else are you gonna do, run up and go "BANG!!!", you'd have to have a very bad heart for that to kill ya.
Guns are tottaly uneccecary for public consumption, what else are they designed for other then to kill.
Just go see Bowling for Columbine

It's interesting because the States has "the right to bear arms" as the second amendment...

what's interesting is it's the right to bear "arms"... They don't say "gun"...

So with that minor detail, It'd be possible to carry any "arm"... such as a thermo nuclear bomb and be well within my rights!

course I do think they have restrictions somewhere (I hope)... I'm not overly familiar with everything american. I just think it's funny
