It also mentions Turing Machines in there for comparison which is relevent to recent discussions. V. Interesting stuff http://www.3drage.com/guides/quantum/ Also on quantum computing -shielding for quantum computers Delicate quantum states can be shielded from destructive noise, say physicists, bringing quantum computers a step closer http://www.newscientist.com/dailynews/news.jsp?id=ns9999298 Clone alone The birth of the first cloned animal created using the egg of another species is imminent The first animal created by putting the DNA of one species into the egg of another is due to be born in the next week. Some scientists hope the technique could be used to bring extinct animals back from the dead. http://www.newscientist.com/dailynews/news.jsp?id=ns9999306 Joseph. ---------------------------------------------- Joseph Kehoe, MSc Raven Internet Technologies Ltd. ph: +353 503 52450 www.raven.ie Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15299
