Say your father is the head scientist at a top secret research facility. One day he brings home a box that is entirely made of metal and has a very expensive looking lock on it. He has just left for a week long conference in another country. By chance, he forgot to lock the metal box. You get curious and decide to look what's inside and find a tiny computer with the words "Quantum Computer Sample #39" printed on the side. You get excited and boot it up and find there is no password and is connected to your home network. Mom won't be back until late tonight and she never goes into dad's office. You have a week to alone yourself with the computer.

You could download and play COD or BF and never lag, hack into the white house unnoticed, serve some justice and take down hundreds of ISIS-affiliated websites, mess with Rich and Powerful CEOs and donate their entire fortune to the Woman and Children's War fund, the options are limitless!

You could get in so much trouble, but you could also do so much good!

What is the first thing you do?


EDIT!: Did I mention this quantum computer literally has an app for everything including hacking, information gathering, design, and oooh I dunno, a perfect machine translator.

If you answered "Yes" to touching the computer in the first place then here is your Prize.

Spoiler

Suddenly, just as you start touching the keyboard, a pop-up window opens and you stare hard at the screen.

Spoiler

“Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?”

[Yes] [No]

The mouse uncontrollably moves to the word yes and clicks on it. You can't help but think you have made a mistake that might cost you your life...

If you Answered "No" Then here is your Prize.

Spoiler

You close the case to the computer and make sure the lock secures itself in place. Just as you walk out of the room, a chill runs down your spine and you suddenly see the image of a grim reaper crouching in the corner of the room vanish.

 

Play minecraft at 60 FPS with mods

 

Hack a few banks and open an acount that gives me an untraceable source of income

 

Go finish my work then pray.

 

I'd use it to hack into the US white house servers to prove that harambe is still alive

 

Curiosity can kill the man so they say

 

You can't hack if you don't know how to do it. Even if you have a quantum computer.
Quantum computers are still not advanced enough to calculate the encryption codes required to open passwords.
Rich and powerfull CEOs are the ones that generate jobs.
Taking their fortune away would equal thousands of people losing their jobs. And without investor money inovation would come to a halt.

Do not open the pandoras box.

 

I would go on Novel Updates and then reply to this thread.

 

If I had a quantum computer

I'd... probably do what I'm doing right now, which is waste my time refreshing novelupdates until something new pops up

 

Hack all Mediaservices on the world to display State secrets that should be known to the people
xD

 

Shhhh, don't ruin the magic

 

Watch porn and and risk viruses

 

The Cat. I am sooooo sure it was the cat

 

I guess I would play different games with stupid amounts of mods with stupid graphics. I don't know how to hack so that other stuff is out of the question.

Although I wouldn't have opened the box, unlocked or not, in the first place since I was raised to respect other peoples privacy.

 

Pretty sure it's just an experiment meant to observe how introducing a foreign artifact in a closed environment influences the behavior of the primitive subspecies living there.

 

Download all the novels, books, ancient lost knowledge, then translate them, then copy..

 

Implement the same money-scheme as they use in Office Space, but actually as they had planned to, and for every single money transfer in the world, and then have that money transferred to a special account that noone else can find out about, and only I can access, and then make a few 'access-accounts' which I can connect to it, whenever I want to buy something without being traced, and then make sure this entire thing can run ad perpetuum as long as I choose, and doesn't rely on the quantum computer to manage it / alternatively make it a hidden program that noone else can find on the computer, and when it connects to another network is duplicates with the same idea to make sure it will always exist.

So yeah, money.

 

Hmm...Me personally, I would download the internet. Oh and Design a time machine

 

make money with it by any means after that project a VR and build it, commercialize it and start playing....

 

I would start the robot uprising.
