Full picture  I bought a Sony point and shoot just around the corner  How it looked when I was there (2007):  What it will look like in 2050 after Atari makes its comeback.

Are you sure? Here’s another angle.  That is fine.

good timing, i actually got around to watching It II yesterday. Well didn't really watch it as about 10 minutes into i couldn't take it aly longer, no surprise. It was the only Steven King Book I enjoyed the made for TV version was OK. I did like the movie Cat's Eye and The Shining though. I'm just not a fan of his writing style. But weirdly I quote a few things from Pet Cemetery like "sometimes deads better" and "You can't get there from here" so I guess I liked that move as well. Congrats, i made about 5 minutes. I got to the part when It ate the guy on the river bank and that was it. Literally...lol

That was very cool, but did he say his prototype was 8 qbits? It really looked like a simple procedure and the biggest stumbling blocks were just monetary. If so it looks like this shit is coming alot faster than we have been led to believe. That is if what he says is true, has this been independently verified? I'm not sure what a qbit is supposed to look like to begin with. I also found it weird that the 2 minute vid he played spoke of the 3 states (as if the non state was one state and not an analog we just cannot measure) but he is only alke to test for the "ON" state or the "Not ON" state so I am not sure how this is used as I thought the "OFF" state had to be known? I'm no expert but this is just a few questions that popped to mind. I don't want to sound dismissive, but my intuition tells me that this French guy is all talk and no action. He hasn't showed anything remotely resembling an operational QC, even with just a few qubits. To me he came across as arrogant, boasting "I'm the boss" all around the talk, and dismissing Google and the rest of the QC leaders for using super-cooling because "they are used to it and that's all they know". Not the qualities I'd expect from a true inventor, scientist, pioneer. I do hope he can do what he says, or, if not him, at least some others out there, for the benefit of all. But QC is no simple matter, and you can't just mill a quantum processor using a DIY CNC machine.

The first version of the movie was way better, much more subtle but still gave me some mean horrors, back then. The novel is untouchable, imo. But the first movie honored it quite well in those days.

But QC is no simple matter, and you can't just mill a quantum processor using a DIY CNC machine. CCC is not arrogant at all. They're legends, so i wouldn't expect humbleness, though. No offense, but i guess you have to have some hax0r background to really grasp this.

Well I just don't know enough about the subject but it does look pretty pie in the sky. When that boy was spraying blood everywhere out of his shoulder after pennywise bit his arm right off, i couldn't take it longer as to the end of the scene. The first version of the movie was way better, much more subtle but still gave me some mean horrors, back then. The novel is untouchable, imo. But the first movie honored it quite well in those days.
Haha, a few seconds after that is when I literally stopped watching. Watching that stupid hack and slash scene right off the bat told me what a piece of crap it was going to be. I caught hell for dropping BobLawblaws pokemon card in a cup; there's no way I'm wrapping that in a Ford skin! Lol ford skin
Lol, I forgot about that, I was just throwing Javelins darts at it.
