First we'd need a smart woman.
*duck*
Wouldn't want a woman with a chest smarter than she is, would we? Or would we...? Boy... that'll be the day... when IQ is proportional to chest size (does that mean we'll measure chest size in MHz?)

Especially when they use a new bio-terror weapon called "Smart Moth".
BTW, could Windows be considered Chlorine bleach?

Excuse me... my underwear crashed. *grumbling* Stupid MS Underwear 2.1... I really need to jack in... er, uhhhhh... I mean, connect to the update server to get those bugs fixed. Give me a minute while I reboot.
the girl in the story had a whole dress made of
nanotechnology that could pump water out of it
or change its color shape design etc.
one of the guys had an overcoat that protected him
from certain air borne nano technology and also
some bio hazards too
both were all kevlar-ish etc
think about it,
one set of clothes for your entire life
but a wardrobe of anything you could think of
;)
come to think of it
as a coder who has put in at least a couple of 24+hrs stints
it would be nice if these things could perform some hygienne based tasks too!!
im sure everyone else would appreciate too

"What we are finding is the textile researchers and the computer architects don't even know each other"
No kidding. One of the guys (at least I think it's a guy) in the server room has been cycling through the same three sweat suits since I've worked here.

Class, tomorrow, as you know, will be our final exam. In order to prevent cheating by those of you with concealed fabric computers, and you know who you are, all of you will be expected to show up naked, with a #2 pencil.
Class dismissed!

If fashion designers start making clothes out of this stuff, then my wife **WILL** have a Beowulf cluster of them, no doubt about it.
Slashdot Mirror
Will it use OSPF or RIP?
Now if we can just get a smart bra. . .

I thought it was too much when I heard of the "Smart e-toilet".
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
