I was abstruse. Think of it thisaway -- I am a member of the Beale Cipher Society. The Beale Ciphers comprise three separate coded manuscripts.
The first one has been decoded. Its key was the Declaration of Independence. The decoded manuscript describes a vast treasure of gold and jewels (wagon train full) and the general location where it was buried near Bedford, Virginia. It has just recently been claimed that all three have been decoded.
That claim is problematical because the location of the treasure is on the southeast coast, whereas the "solution" claims it is gold mines out west. Here is what one attempt to solve the Cipher looks like -- drawing lines at varying angles:
The deal is... IBM put Big Blue on it. Then took BB off. It would take something like 650 years to solve.
A quantum computer could solve the location in under a minute.

Almost certainly.
Think of having the computing/processing/advice/etc in your pocket that is equal to ten thousand Big Blue Supercomputers. (Water temp., time of day/year, spawning stats, current fish diet, etc, etc. all dialed in.)You could whup Phil Helmuth at poker every time.
You could know when/which slot machine handle to pull.
Anything that requires designing, checking, yada.
It is coming. And while I still cannot remember if an elbow is a pound or not, we will all know of quantum computing.

Morning everybody, I'm chugging along. Knee doesn't really hurt that bad, I guess the pain I dealt with over the last 18 or so years was worse. Stretching gets me a bit and trying to flatten the knee is fun being I haven't been able to lock my knee in over two years maybe more. Up walking without a limp. I think I did good. Haven't tried to get into the grow shed, had the wife taking care for me but I'm thinking I need to make a visit. Just thought I would give a update. Hope all are doing well.

Saying we should be cooling down to the 70's by the end of the week. Saying we gonna have a cold winter, I don't believe em they been saying that for a while and it didn't happen. Can't tell how long it has been since I seen the ground spew from the cold.
