you could jack up the resolutions on CRTs to some insane resolutions too
I had a 19 inch CRT jacked up to 1600x1200 at one point in time

I'm pretty sure they didn't actually display at that res. I don't know exactly how CRTs work but I remember that it looked horrible at those high resolutions.
My friend is convinced that a quantum computer doesn't need to brute force (when code cracking) in the same manner as a computer, because it just "calculates the probability of the key" or some such shit to find the key without doing as many guesses as a regular computer.
Seriously smells like bullshit he just invented, but I'm no expert. Someone help?

Would it not just be brute force. Like, go through each possible key really fast until it gets it

As far as I know, a quantum computer basically "guesses" the result shitloads, and you pick the answer that came up the most. You go from certainty, and trying to keep a chip as stable as possible, into probability calculations.
Pretty sure I saw in a presentation by the guy who made the first POC quantum "computer", that a quantum computer could factor a typical prime number used in encryption in 10 seconds, whilst a standard computer would take about the age of the universe.

From my knowledge, you use quantum operations to give a qubit the desired wave function, then collapse the wave function into a classical bit, so it would probably entirely possible for some cryptos to calculate the key right off with a known plaintext, e.g via Shor's algorithm

Actually, thats probably very very wrong
Fuck now I'm reading about quantum computing again
Ugh I have a Vista laptop to fix, Windows update service isn't running even though it's enabled and running based on the services list.

just gotta engage the rotational velocidensity mode in the warp drive and zero out the inhibiting factor and then set your quantum computer on "hack" mode
I honestly would dump my current LCD screen for a Widescreen CRT 1080p monitor. Only thing is that they don't seem to be too common.
In direct competition of DEC for the datacenter alcohol distribution market, Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics have released their own products.

Thats a consequence I am willing to live with. Won't be moved ever so its only a few minutes of heaviness to deal with, won't ever be stolen in return and will give me exceptional Colour and contrast and non-fucked with black levels.
And if you opt for a Sony CRT, it might break your desk. I swear those tubes are lined with depleted uranium.

On a serious note though, the only thing it's missing that's actually stopping me from using it as my regular setup is "Go to first unread post"/"xyz new posts" in thread view. Missing avatars, I could probably adjust to, and there's a bunch of cool shit it does that "Stablepunch" doesn't.

EDGE and GPRS refuse to work on my phone, which kinda sucks because the cell reception is so bad where i'm at (central florida). if i move my phone an inch sometimes i'll lose the reception completly, if i move it two inches, i'll get two times the reception i got before.
