Exchange Email Addresses With A Handshake
Eye of the Frog writes "Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. and its subsidiary NTT DoCoMo Inc. have developed a device that attaches to your PDA which uses the body's conductivity to transmit data at an amazing 10 megabits per second."
"Honest, your honor. I wasn't grabbing her. I was just giving her my telephone number!"
If you smoke after sex, you're doing it too fast.
And if we could get a long chain of people, maybe we could use them instead of ethernet cable!
At least in transfer rates........
which uses the body's conductivity to transmit data at an amazing 10 megabits per second
Oh, god. Imagine the new possibilities for porn.
So, if a bunch of people join hands, do they become a Beowolf cluster?
Oh, wait... hmmm... I wonder which I'll need first... a DVD player, or a girlfriend.
Is it just me, or do seeing the words Exchange and Email in the same sentence make you shiver?
I was expecting another word like 'virus' or 'vulnerability' in that sentence.

Now you can transfer computer viruses as easy as the old fashioned biological kind.
I can see the T-Shirts now, "Don't touch me! I'm infected with Code Red!"

at 10Mb/s our body could transmit it's own DNA in 1 hour and 41 minutes.
9 months is a long time compared to that...
A message from the system administrator: 'I've upped my priority. Now up yours.'
Yes, but in order to reach full 10mbps you have to have a diet rich in copper.

The DMCA has announced that skin is now illegal.
Cogito ergo sum in Slashdot.
damnit, thats no ethernet cable, why, its people, NTT is people I tell you, people!
I hate sigs.
Make sure you shake hands with your vendor regularly to get the latest fixes/patches for your device.
Where you can get charged with academic dishonesty not for looking over at someone elses' test or passing a cheat sheet, but for just givin 'em a high five. That's neat.

Perhaps now you're starting to understand the importance of a good title.
...backbone providers have announced plans to pay people minimum wage to hold hands with each other as a backup backbone.
Sigh. The way the job markets looks right about now, I would take that job.
Oh great, more spam, just lovely. And they'll say I opted-in, too ... with my handshake.
now we need to go OSS in diesel cars
Now the spammers will just run around slapping people.

Yeah, when Worldcom bites the dust we might need to organize "Hands Around the World" just to read /.

Genetic engineering is going to become a much higher priority for geeks as soon as they need to overclock THAT bus
I suppose I'm not too threatening, presently, but wait till I start Nautilus
Modern peacemakers use all-natural, organic material which has not been shown to be affected by any electromagnetic fields in the area. In 100% of use cases the peacemaker was able to adapt to the environment and perform its function.
Just another reason to keep wearing my rubber gloves. *snap*

Does this mean latex is now a firewall?
Seriously, I think this new technology could be used in some interesting ways. I'm waiting for someone to work it into the electric chairs used on death row, for a particularly fitting punishment for certain individuals...
"Jerry Bruckheimer, for your crimes against humanity, this court orders you to be put to death via electric chair. 100 million copies of Armageddon will be digitally sent through your body each second until you are sufficiently fried. And may God have mercy on your crap-movie making ass..."
...with a pda in my pocket that keeps the electrical potential of my skin oscillating at a carrier frequecy of 10mhz, i guess i can stop worrying about having my cellphone in the back pocket of my jeans, the high voltage lines over my house and the high power radar at the airport in sight ;-)
Just to clear up any confusion, that was intended to be a joke. It was also pointing out in a humorous way the lack of coherence in the argument that since the device uses the body's natural conductivity it must be compatible with pacemakers. The fact that it does use the body's natural conductivity in no way indicates that it is safe for people with pacemakers. But the post was mostly intended to be a joke. Which apparently nobody got. At least I didn't waste my +2 bonus on it.

The sex was great but she rooted my handheld.

10mbps? millibits per second? Thats 1 bit in 100 seconds. Sounds easy enough to me.
