    i believe the courts would take a dim view of such an option

    you appear to be confusing the word 'rules' with the word 'strategies'

    So do I. I have a PhD in quantum spintronics. Why would I? Pop science is almost entirely junk and the short route to misunderstanding. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg17323241.900-multiple-choice.html stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    But we are not talking about tennis in the macroscopic world compared to tennis somewhere else in the macroscopic world. We are comparing lawn tennis to quantum tennis where the balls tunnel through you racket and exist only in a cloud of probability. But yeah, if it makes you happy, it's the same game, nothing changes, the article is about nothing, why did you even post it? i like quantum stuff. and quantum computers won't be able to just play poker - how about war games, or the stockmarket? have you read the quantum treatment of the prisoner's dilemma? seems like we may be able to 'tunnel' to freedom

    And you haven't been paying attention. If the games are the same, it shouldn't matter what type of computer you choose to play the game on and the whole point of the article is that it does matter. the game doesn't change - the tactics to win do

    And they shall call it "Google". except this 'google' will be able to effortlessly access any hidden bank account or restricted website anywhere on the internet. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    anything online will be an open book to such a quantum computer. the entire internet will be its database. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    Things get confusing when you have no idea what you're reading, yes. how are you confused? (and you haven't answered how quantum poker is different from internet poker is different from poker played round a table - the rules are the same; the game is the same) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    when all communication is done with 'quantum rules' things are going to get very confusing stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    Which makes it an entirely different game. Poker is a card game played by people sitting round a table. If you make the betting process different by putting in quantum rules, it ceases to be the same game. poker is also a game played by individuals sitting at a computer screen. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    No. It's not poker. It's quantum poker. The basic rules share a superficial similarity but the mechanism of playing the game is entirely different. English is superficailly similar to C++ in that they are both languages with syntax and grammar, but they are not the same language, not do they seek to convey the same types of message. People always get the wrong end of the stick from pop science books when they don't understand the underlying science. It's a fundamental flaw in trying to explain abstract concepts using concrete analogies. Reading pop science really is the fastest route to misunderstanding science. it seems to me that the mechanism of the game is the same - the only thing that is different is the method of communication of the betting. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    the game rules are the same. (is internet poker not poker) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    there's a plan to build a tidal barrage across the bristol channel (i think the second biggest in the world) that will possibly generate about 5% of the uk's energy. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    it looks like a continental/global dc transmission network will be able to connect up the remote renewable sources. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
