Title: Turn the computer OFF if you want your programs to work...

Yes, that's right. Turn the computer off and still obtain the results you're interested in. Hello, quantum weirdness to the extreme (http://www.newscientist.com/channel/info-tech/mg18925405.700.html).

With the right set-up, the theory suggested, the computer would sometimes get an answer out of the computer even though the program did not run. And now researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have improved on the original design and built a non-running quantum computer that really works.
that sounds like how my Right Brain works! :idea:
