    Since none of us have used the skill, how can we possibly make predictions on how useful it is...

    Despite this I voted no, purely out of faith that blizzard wouldn't bring back such an epic spell from d2, only to make it terrible.

    You know what I do when some punk kid disrespects me? I ignore him and move on with my life because I don't care what 'some punk kid' thinks about me.

    Judging by your post, and the way you're insulting people in this thread, I'd say you were banned forever for being either profane, or just generally rude. Also for 'telling some punk kid how it is.' Seems like a legit ban to me, Blizzard doesn't need you throwing temper tantrums on their forums every time someone disagrees with you.

    Loving this skill.

    I'd like to slightly modify the above suggestion of skill order.

    Get your pets in, get right in behind them and drop a soul harvest before eels (runed grasp) and dropping back for longer range damage. Personally I prefer the triple shot poison arrows or firebats for big enemies, but whatever floats your boat.

    Lol my prof told us earlier this year if any could prove the P = NP problem they'd probably win a nobel prize.

    Honestly don't understand the problem very well myself, coming from the phys side of things and no the cs one.

    Was any of my statement wrong though? I said it was a very, very simple explanation. I'm open to constructive criticism.

    Edit: It's meant for people who won't care about what it is past "it does stuff between 0 and 1."

    But it *doesn't* do stuff between 0 and 1. It isn't using 0s and 1s at all. Classically these are represented by a voltage, whether 5V or 0V, 1 or 0 (there are some more clever implementations but thats the basic idea.) For quantum they are represented by states of particles (or whatever) and are allowed to be both 0 and 1 simultaneously, with some associated probabilities. If you have 50% of 0, and 50% of 1, that is NOT the same as 0.5. You cannot exploit 0.5 to do anything. You cannot entangle 0.5 to something and exploit that property.

    IE: If people don't care about it beyond "stuff between 0 and 1" then they simply will not understand it.

    It would be like explaining to people that brain surgery actually only amounts to sticking a knife randomly in someones head through their eye.

    Quantum computing in a nutshell:

    A regular computer works on a system of 0's and 1's.
    A quantum computer works on a system of 0's and 1's, and everything in between (.1, .2, .3, etc.,) which gives it infinitely more processing power, effectively giving a computer the ability to do a "maybe" algorithm instead of just a "yes or "no."

    I'm not a tech guy, pre-med student actually, so this should be probably one of the clearest explanations to people who have low tech understanding.

    Not really... you didn't understand quantum computing AT ALL.

    Quantums work by phasing... and waves rather than electrical charges... changes things alot.

    A wild math/cs/phys/CO student appears.

    It isn't a very accurate description to be honest. First of all it most definitely is not 0.1, 0.2 etc. The state 0 and 1 are not represented numerically on a quantum level. There are a variety of implementations, but one uses the spin orientation of the molecule. The 0 and 1 states are represented as up and down spin. You do not have some value "0.1", you have a particle that, with some probability, is spin up, and with some other probability, that it is spin down. (Note these probabilities must add to 1.)

    The power of quantum computing is employing clever algorithms which exploit the probabilistic nature of QM. The computer you talk about would just be a higher numerical base computer, using 10 digits instead of 2, which actually isn't all that useful, like I said it is quantum nature that allows quantum computers to be powerful.

    You do realize that SC2 was broken and you could play it the week prior right? It will be done, nothing is 'unbreakable' given enough time and 50+ days is plenty of time

    I didn't say it was unbreakable, I said that even a thousand super computers running parallel will still take over a billion trillion years to crack this code, on average. You guys do realize that banks use 128 key encryption to store your personal financial information. Why would someone waste their time trying to crack d3 when the same exact process could yield millions in dollar in robbing a bank.

    If the game information is stored locally, the safety mechanisms can be *bypassed*. NO ONE cracked SC2 encryption code, they bypassed it and made the game work offline, as you said. They could no log into battlenet. If I'm not mistaken it also bypassed inputing your authentication key, so you actually had to reinstall the game if you wanted to play online.

    Diablo 3 does not have an offline mode to exploit in this manner, and as such will no be played. At most they can datamine the information that is stored locally. Which even then would surprise me. If I had to guess I'd say the managed to crack the installer to display 0-100% install progress, but it isn't actually working. Especially considering it's been 8 hours since they were 20% completed, and no updates.

    Quote from Steamrice

    I know sc2 beta was cracked to play w/o logging onto bnet but uhh, how were people able to inject the key into their installer to install and play on bnet week before considering key is stored on Blizz's server?? That's news considered i followed it hard and wanted to play sc2 badly or wanted info. How'd that work? Any info? Cuz if its the same as SC2 then D3 should be cracked already.

    Ya the offline mode was cracked since all the game information was stored locally.

    That guy doesn't know what he's talking about and clearly couldn't have read everything I wrote. Because I clearly state that it's specifically to do with the fact that game information isn't all stored locally. No one cracked SC2 and was able to log into BNET. They by-passed the encryption and got the game to work in 'offline' mode. That isn't the same thing.

    I have a feeling that in that video they also managed to bypass the encryption, rather than crack it. Which means they won't be playing the game any time soon, since there doesn't exist a game world for them to play in.

    The new system is perfectly fine, the UI could use some work but at this stage I don't care anywhere near enough to delay the game at all.

    Heh ya, sorry dude bad timing for 24hrs access. Servers will likely be down until 12:00AM PST, which is about 9 hours from this post.
