Quantum Computing - True birth of SkyNet??

Quantum Computing.

I won't even pretend that I know anything beyond a passing idea of what Quantum Computing is besides the fact that it will compute sh!t really fast. I looked up some wiki information on it. Was kinda following along till I got down to about "Markov Chain"...










Ran across this link that explained it in fairly plain english.

^Some serious computing power there; relatively around the corner. It's exciting but I wonder if we might be opening Pandora's box. We're always pushing to develop machines that can walk on their own, perform tasks autonomously, think on their own... What happens we issue a command and they say, "No.". and do what they want to do. And what the hell could that be?

Here's the wiki link to quantum computing info. The associated data on this subject is massive. If you are not somewhat learned on physics, calculus, number theory and whatnot, prepare to sprain your brain.
