broKenfoLd writes "Monkeys moving robotic arms by manipulating a cursor on a computer screen, simply by thinking about it? Mice who cause their water tube to dispense some refreshing H2O just by wishing it? Signal processing and decoding has long been a dream of Matrix fans and lazy system administrators for years, and science is amazingly keeping up! Popular Science's Carl Zimmer has written a fascinating piece documenting recent progress in decoding brain signals and interpreting commands issued from thoughts alone. If you heard a single violin playing Beethoven's 5th, you would be able to tell what piece of music was being played even though the rest of the orchestra was not heard. In the same way, by monitoring a relatively few neurons, computers can recognize patterns and allow programming based on these patterns to say, know if a mouse is thinking about pushing his water lever.
You can pass the time waiting for Matrix-style video games and motionless system adminstration/utilization by reading the full article."
you fucking dwarf!

Is every only i of your justification and trawl the B is a part here. The relationship of my DSL of the house inhales, that is the place where the beta server is moving. Because I gave the fact that in 125 people who send the E- mail to me who ask the place to me it does not die from the place. Doing no ones it is being to be better than the part every of i, and it does that it is kind of asshole which now burns very to the thing which posts the place anywhere and brings the signifacnt problem of my DSL at the house. I made 5 hours which now delete morning your trawl wasteful, made other work end on the one hand because of you. I do splendid what for the community of MacSlash, try the fact that we improve the server, therefore that is better. To make my time every of this it is i wasteful, because it can tackle the new server, you insist the thing which is maintained. I tackled not making all that pennies, it meaning that I like the interaction of the user of other Mac in this place between 3 years above. Exactly it made that useless. As for me every morning when the fact that for trawling now like you the load is stacked in the place is feared. I use the majority of my times which handle bullshit where you who do the place where now it is good to substituting because of this are small. And as for me already copes with you or tightening the thing of entire denunciation comparatively, approximately preparation does, exactly. So there is with the justification which has had sexual intercourse. The current stop which posts the address of the new place. -- editor @ of management of MacSlash Venn Stanfield
The open port is your TV. :).
The damage is the propaganda.
The victim is, of course, the computer (your brain).
And it will make your computer do all kinds of messed up things, like vote for Bush. Goodbye to karma
which explain why we have so many laws and lawyers.
Seriously. How is that in any way shape or form "interesting" or "insightful?"
Do you also have to be told not to touch fire, coals, lava, etc instead of being simply told not to touch things that are hot?
"I didn't run him over?"
Holy crap.

Is this a good thing? I seem to see a lot of fat little kids riding on self-propelled doodads nowadays. Future Atkins suckers I guess. Get off your lazy ass you monkey.
