    you've made a huge leap across the 'make-sense' barrier by removing your hand completely just because of it's size and limited function. it's quite possible you'd want that back sometime soon.

  5. Never waste a good crisis on Hackers Penetrate Nasdaq Computer Networks · · Score: 0
    Old news. This happened last year. The most interesting part of the entire article appears at the end, almost as an aside.

    "Prosecutors said Albert Gonzalez, perhaps the most renowned hacker, perpetrated his biggest theft ... According to a 2009 federal indictment, he used computers located in the U.S., Latvia and Estonia, in a conspiracy that netted more than 100 million stolen credit-card numbers."

    Disturbing given the sheer magnitude of people affected.

    Well... theoretically they could. I suppose they would probably more efficient than two or three govt. agencies by an exponential factor too. It's more a matter of choosing between the lesser of two evils but remembering that they're both still evil.

  18. saw this in the 70's on Impressive Robot Hand From Shadow · · Score: 1

    Anyone who has a hand impairment like a quadriplegic or has studied hand movement knows that full wrist articulation is paramount. The wrist can even expand and contract some atrophied hand and forearm muscles so that fingers partly open and close.

    Even if this isn't their newest video, what it shows is sadly they don't understand fundamental hand/wrist finger interaction.

    I suppose this is not a robotic related rant ... but the sense of touch is still missing here and that seems lacking in the restorative efforts of researchers.

  19. Re:Skip the article; read the actual report on Girl Gamers More Hardcore Than Guys · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What I found more interesting was that as many as 22% of female players were lesbian or bi-sexual, far more than in the general population..

    As to whether to believe the better than average self-reported BMI and exercise numbers from the women in the survey? What, women misrepresent their weight online? Unheard of!

    The civilization that was living in that planet is traveling to a little blue planet that was nearby at a modest 100 light years. Invasion is scheduled for next Tuesday.

    Actually they landed here ~4 million years ago but accidentally killed the dinosaurs while landing their pyramids.
