Warwick Gets a Few More Wires

Posted by michael on from the tired-of-reading-cyborg-submissions dept.

teamhasnoi writes "CNN reports that a British university professor has been fitted with cyborg technology. (100 wires embedded in his wrist) This apparently enables his nervous system to be linked to a computer, encoding movements like wiggling fingers and feelings like shock and pain, and recorded for the first time. Is this the end of VCR+? Or the beginning of an (unholy) marriage of man and machine?" Warwick has been doing this for five years now.

  5. Stroustrup suggests ADA!! [OT] by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just found that on the web!

    He said:"... so I really recommend ADA for large programs, C++ is good for the average programs which are too big for C...''. It was on an interview for the IEEE.

    Man. I want to ask him "why did you invent C++ Mr Stroutrup?
    How is your name pronounced?
    Could it be "stru-stru-p"?
    Have you sold 1000000 copies of your book? How many then?
    How did you think about it and if you remember whan you were doing at the time?
    My friend bob, told me the other day that C++ is a subset of C, is that true?
    Who is god, does he own C++ and what do you think?
    Will my questions be part of the next FAQ you're working on?"

    nice to see hes still banging on about it :)

    nice to be reminded of all the lectures we missed cos he was messing about with the press such as being in moscow with a broken robotic cat for 2 weeks, or telling a sky news reporter that she wouldnt make a good prostitue

    question is, has he tried to record an orgasam and replyed it to his wife yet??
