Is Neurostim Becoming a Reality?
destinyland writes "There is a current mass market for 'cognitive enhancement' products — and arguments about the black market potential for neurostim. 'The same neurostim device that uses electric impulses from a brain implant to treat people with Parkinson's Disease can be tweaked by a few millimeters and pulse rates to make cocaine addicts feel like they are high all the time... Mix the glamour of surgical self-improvement with the geekiness of high-tech gadget fetishism and you have a niche cosmetic neurostim market waiting to be tapped...'"
And can I have my droud back, please?
Thanks

I'll be able to move faster, do more damage, and take more damage, all at a small cost of my health?
Fire it up!
All those neurostimming drug fiends always hog the best tables at my internet provider, doing stupid stuff, reading junk and talking about nothing when they could be recompiling their C compiler.
Look pal, it's easy. You just take this neurospike and that hammer and apply according to the instructions. Now, you'll get a splitting headache afterward, but that goes without saying.
If your still interested in my other products, check out my new and improved nut-vice. Pure pain with pleasure!
Life is not for the lazy.
doesn't have anything better to do than getting doped up and hanging out and talking with their friends for hours about nothing.
We've already got Slashdot for that.
Have gnu, will travel.
And if it doesn't, it might win you a Darwin award.
Or you might be a redneck.
Mix the glamour of surgical self-improvement
Yeah, until they find your body. Then it has all the "glamor" of autoerotic asphyxiation.
Maybe later.

Oblig. Simpsons quote.
Dr. Nick: "I'll perform any operation for $129.95! Come in for brain surgery and receive a free Chinese finger trap!"
Peter: Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head. Remember that?
Egon: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.
I've known some women who report similar results with a "TENS" unit.
I'd like my orgasmatron to go up to "ELEVENS" personally.
You city folk crack me up. If you've ever seen Bull semen collection...
You would realize that TENS units are for wimps. You'll want a cattle prod.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Yeah, all those stupid potheads. They can only ASPIRE to sit on their ass and post to slashdot. You, however, have truly have conquered life, and anyone who chooses another route certainly must be a moron.
Step away from the coffee...
I repeat, STEP AWAY FROM THE COFFEE!
