Core memory has been out and around for megayonks!
It was one of the first solid-state memories for early computers before they went to capacitive storage a la DRAM.
The military still uses it because it is largely immune to radiation and EMP.
Recently, they have been able to shrink core memory on to microchip VLSI scales.
Nothing new in it at all... .. we're just going full circle!
I predict the EULA would say that the end-user only purchased a license to use the X-Box, and under no circumstances should the user delude themselves that they actually purchased the hardware.
I seem to recall that Practical Electronics magazine had a short article a couple of years ago on making some cheap circuits for a home-brew ECG.
Yeah, I know that the heart generates more jolts than the brain - but the circuit is a valuable start - perhaps with some more fine-tuning it can be made to get some info from the brain...
Failing that, you could always put the electodes near the base of the skull where the motor control where there is a stronger signal and less bone...

Okay, lets take some examples...
PASCAL is easier to read, a much more verbose language and contains many more English words in it's basic language than C does.
QED.

IMO, Lower-left does make more sense...
Not forgetting that OS/2 has many cutting-edge features not yet implemented in any other OS (other than perhaps BeOS).
I heard that as part of Odin, they're writing a ELF loader for OS/2 too... which would perhaps allow OS/2 to load/run Linux or FreeBSD binaries.
Cool beans if it works!
Also - the SciTech video drivers for OS/2 are getting pretty slick...

I remember when it used to be SubLogic Flight Simulator.... Before M$ bought that too!
