YES! We cannot afford to forget that Metallica is really just a puppet of the RIAA! Remember "Master of Puppets"?! THAT WAS THE RIAA SPEAKING THROUGH METALLICA!
But let's not forget that the RIAA is really a sattelite that reports directly to the US government - which is just a high-profile coverup of China's World Government, which is actually controlled by the USSR (which was never really destroyed)!
The whole thing is a gigantic plot (made by space aliens who tool around in golden landrovers on the dark side of the moon) to squelch out anything new and inventive in every industry.
Voice recognition is coming. Joe User isn't going to have to know anything - the computers can interpret voice, do the math, construct sentences, et cetera.
Stevie Wonder is actually a laser robot droid sent to assimilate the planet for the evil forces of Skulltor! The implant is a mere upgrade to allow him to project holographic images of diet coke cans up to five hundred feet away!
Actually, I wish I had seen this post earlier, because now it's not going to do a damned lot of good to reply, but the problem is not a bug in MSIE or Netscape as far as I can tell.
I ran into this same thing when I was writing a script and, from what I can tell, the way s work is, they ignore anything that looks like it might be html...
except &-based character codes!
Essentially, if a &-character appears in a textbox, browsers display the character as a character instead of a sequence - "" instead of " ".
The easiest way around this, I found, is to do a s-\&-\&-g on the text as the page is being assembled.
Essentially, use the 'feature' against itself:)
But then again, if they fixed it, it would then proceed to wreak havoc. But I guess you could check browser versions or something equally inane...
In any case, it affects most every browser I've seen.
(Note the subtle use of linebreaks to lengthen the post!)
More frightening still, what happens if the downloadable tutorial has a bug? In order for the tutorial to work correctly anyway, you'd have to teach the brain how to interpret the signals coming over the pipe as associations it should make within the brain itself. Learning would still not be instantaneous (since the brain is organic, it would have to build up the calcium deposits), but I would tend to think it could be sped up. Of course, all of that is -far- down the line, and I think that's good, considering the current state of humanity. I for one wouldn't like the idea that we could have reflexes forced upon us. Just imagine - another fascist dictator takes over with a desire to wipe out a population - he cracks the network, makes all people he wants killed wear a target symbol, and makes everyone else shoot at people wearing the target. Scary. Hopefully I won't live to see it.

Remember Looking Glass studios?! I rest my case.
...Nor will I understand what /. rips from the headers.
I will never understand /. moderation.
What, you think that we'll actually have to type?

RUN! RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
Uhm, the blankish area where there's just an "s" is supposed to say "". That'll teach me not to preview...

Actually, I think that the person who put it together had a primary language other than english.
At least, I -hope- they did...

For a little more money, he could have ... a real fake doll.
