Diamond can be used store quantum information
Scientists have developed a new way to manipulate atoms inside diamond crystals so that they store information long enough to function as quantum memory, which encodes information not as the 0s and 1s used by conventional computers but in states that are both 0 and 1 at the same time. Physicists use such quantum data to send information securely, and hope to one day build quantum computers capable of solving problems beyond the reach of today's technology. How cool is that? :o)
Impurities are the key to the technology, not flawless diamonds. One of the most common defects in a diamond is nitrogen, which turns the stone yellow. When a nitrogen atom sits next to a vacant spot in the carbon crystal, the intruding element provides an extra electron that moves into the hole. Several years ago, scientists learned how to change the spin of such electrons using microwave energy and put them to work as quantum bits.
Luckily,In contrast to some other quantum systems under development, which require temperatures close to absolute zero, this diamond memory works at room temperature! Perfect I say!
Unlike a diamond itself, this quantum memory isn’t forever. But it lasts for a very long time by quantum standards. I think using this technology in a computer in the future will be awesome.
This is it in a nutshell from what I've researched. There is a lot more technical information out there if you do a search for "diamond used to store quantum information". I think this is definitely the future of information.
This is very fun and exciting! I enjoy writing articles and I hope to make a little money at something I love to do! My Referral Link: http://www.earnwrite.com/register/refer/id/351/

I suggest changing the name to Rounds 60 :) you have the same strategy as me!! :D Maybe we can become good friends. do you have facebook, or anything like that? oh and plz change RPD to RPK XD its bothering the heck outa me. you are very smart with this strategy, and you might want to include that after round 50 you want to use the Skullcrusher, TheM16Upgraded. its powerful, fast, and when running the train, you can buy ammo! :D plz comment on one of my strategies so iknow what to Fix:)

John,What will save your son is your love and respect and communication and the examples you show him with *your* behavior. Do you truly want to demonstrate that his father is one secretly spying on him? The message--spoken or not--you are sending to your son is this: his own father does not trust him, his own father cannot sit down and tell his son his own feelings and fears, but instead spies secretly upon him. Learn to talk from your heart to his or you will have make much grief.

You cannot describe love as "a problem teenagers fall into". This completely downrates the meaning of love itself, not to meantion any teens (like myself) reading this. You act as if only adults will read this, and give absolutely no helpful imformation directly towards a teen or teenagers themself.I recommend adding a section to this that describes what love REALLY is, and how to deal with it, how it passes, how it stablizes, it's structure over time and how it grows, and many types of love.
