Quantum Computing

Computer processor's power derived from the quantum physics properties of atoms or nuclei that allow them to work together as quantum bits commonly known as qubits is reffred as quantum computing.

spontanious combustion

To spontaniously burst into flames
Wouldn't it be cool if that person just spontaneously combusted?

spontaneous human combustion

The occassion when a human being may spontaneously burst into flame with no external interference. Generally happnes to the aged. Most victims do not survive, and combust when alone. Therefore, there are not many witnessess to spontaneous human combustion, or S.H.C.
However, there have been people who have suffered S.H.C and survived, albiet for only a short while afterwards.

S.H.C does not tend to leave much in the way of bodily remains; most victims leave just the lower leg, a singed hole in the floor, and a pile of greasy ash.
Reasons for this are still only theories, but the extreme heat required to reduce a human body to ash in the space of minutes is intense, and the flames act unaturaly.
In one such case, an elderly doctor spontaneously combusted whilst at home alone. When found, his kneecap and ashes where in the basement, and his foot and slipper left on the lip of the hole on the floor above. His aluminium walker, that should by all means be a puddle of molten metal, was fully intact, including the rubber tips.

S.H.C is not a proven phenomena, and is not a recognized cause of death.
The old doctor apparently died when he spontaneously combusted. Many blamed the phenomena, spontaneous human combustion for his unnatural death.

Combustion

The act of a material or substance breaking or falling apart.
When we pressed the launch button, our rocket just suddenly combusted. Six months for just one big combustion.

computational fluid dynamics

(CFD)
physics the quantitative study of fluids and their actions given a set of events.

For use in the creation of soup, chemical based reactors, vehicles, risk assessments, damage assessments, meteorological predictions, and different predictions of naturally occurring phenomena.
seriously, im not that smart.
(Anyway, an example of computational fluid dynamics would need graphical models and computer programming)

Crowd Computing

A sub-section of Cloud Computing offered by service providers that under-invest in both server infrastructure and technical support staff.

Companies that outsource to them do not realise that they are being crammed in like sardines to the vendors infrastructure which is nowhere near adequate. They only start to realise they are up shit creek when they try to contact technical support for help only to be placed in the longest most painful telephone queue of their life.
Afghan: "None of our 1,000 employees can access their online email application, my CIO's already been fired and I'm next for the chop...I opened a support ticket with the vendor 5 days ago and this is the 26th time I've tried to get through to them on the phone...I am dead meat man, dead meat <sniff>."

Tragic: "Well Afghan, that's Crowd Computing for you."
