Hmmmm...Wiki says this policy WAS verified by numerous airlines, but most changed it soon after it became public.

So, this was bombastic, but true, but it's pretty old and no longer correct....so I guess I should *kill it, even though it is a good example of why portraying sexual abuse as a one way street is just plain wrong (not that I'm accusing YOU of that, but some do).

EDIT: I might have killed too soon, I misread Wiki, apparently this policy is still in effect on Quantas and Air New Zealand with no plans to review it, and Virgin is reviewing it but hasn't changed it yet. That's some bullshit right there.
I might repost, but if I do, I'll be sure to site the source as being biased.

What up quanta. Thanks for being a sifter

Hmm... now you've made me curious too. I have found a few interesting pages, but nothing specifically about frog vision apart from mentions that it's sensitive.

• How Stuff Works has a How frogs work article.
  
• The Whole Frog Project provides a virtual frog for high school biology students, based on MRI data, mechanical sectioning, and some software to allow visualising of the anatomical structures of the intact animal.
  
• The UW Sea grant site has a frogs page with resources for kids + teachers that has an origami frog (among other things).
  

I'm not quite as sure about the single photon claim. I found a Physicsworld.com article from September 2012 talking about using a single rod cell from a frog eye being used as an extremely sensitive detector which is able to detect a single photon, but according to the original Usenet Physics FAQ (I cite an updated version hosted at math.ucr.edu) human retinas can also respond to a single photon, but have a neural filter to block the signal unless 5 to 9 photons arrive within less than 100 ms.

Hahaha, I wanted to do theoretical physics as I was growing out of high school. Then I realized even if I did find a place to do research I would have to move away from everyone I knew. (Alas, I sit at the sidelines and watch pro vs. joe. )

I guess I could rephrase that the smallest amount of time is basically energy+some entropy. What I meant above was that from our state we experience time; I was alluding more to the idea that it is purely an error on our part and that maybe outside of the measurable Universe there is no time attributed to us. More like quantum leaping, we change energy states so we perceive change, but outside we look more like another layer in a cake. This would be very much akin to sequences you see in a computer as you said above.

If they ever find time travel it will have to conclude that reality is already set or free form for each independent piece of quanta ever made.

Hopefully I got that across.

GeeSussFreek. You are right in that everything can be broken into quanta...

Except for space...you could, for example have a unit of space smaller than an electron, correct?

But for everything else, there is a some sort of "granule" LCD. Or so it seems.

Notepad. Quanta+ on Linuxes.

Also, I hear some pros recommend Komodo for advanced h4x1ng. But I'm guessing most peoples use Dreamweaver.

uhhhhh, so having stated the above almost 3 weeks ago none of this bullshit would be here, and coggie would be a simple moving part-when I announced a channel creation after having released for absorption, jazz/blues-

Bad tastes in the mouth have sullied the pallet for sweetmeats, don't really want a channel, had a hand in 3...........


EIA's inspiration??? To God himself give thanks an'praises and yer foldin' money what's left in both front trouser pockets.....


wildwestshow is ravenwilde's' child....


jazz/blues-is kulpims if he cares to grab the torch
Now all that's left is pride, prejudice, and some "ass or crotch" take yer pick, as the admin seated next to you heads to the loooo, onna Quantas' one-way flight...

Cheers, and again, thank you all, for all the fishy...........

So, the big silver thing is a dewar. It most likely contains liquid helium.

I am not sure how much NMR has to do with it, but there are NMR based qubits...The decoherence term, which came from NMR, is the same effect, but not actually the same phenomenon that is going on here, I don't think.

Most quantum qubits that I have heard of are made out of low temperature(Type I) superconductors, like niobium. The qubit itself is a Josephson Junction, which is a entirely too long discussion to go into too much detail.

But the basic idea is that if you get two superconductors close together, but separated by an insulator, they will quantum mechanically link. So the state of one describes the state of the other(e.g. entanglement).

*Warning, a more technical explanation is below.

You can exploit this entanglement and by systematically rocking the potential that describes the coupling between the two states with a microwave signal. Eventually you can get the system into the ground state. Now the flux quanta which couples the two systems, exist as discreet energy levels. By injecting that flux into the system, you excite the system into it's first energy eigenstate. At this point the system is effectively described by the Bloch equation. This two state system is your quantum qubit. Which you can use to make calculations, the easiest of which and first test is to factor numbers or seek prime numbers. The problem, as I alluded to earlier, is that as the system evolves in time some of the energy escapes into other energy eigenstates, it is no longer |Q>=a|1>+b|0> but now it is |Q>=a|1>+b|0>+c|2>... and so on. The time the state can be described by |1> and |0> is referred to as the coherence time.
