I had the new Zyoptix LASIK surgery a couple of months ago. It is said to not only correct the low order aberration in the eye ( what your spectacles correct ), it also attempts to correct high order aberrations ( suchs as astygmatism ) in the eye. My eyes have turned out better than 20/15 ( 20/15 is better than 20/20, with 20/20 being what a normal person can see at 20 feet. 20/15 being that you can see as well as a normal person at 15 feet as you see at 20). I asked my doctor heaps of questions about LASIK and associated problems and he says that there is a huge variation between surgeons, I am guessing due to techniques used. The results he reported getting were, out of the last 11,000 patients ( most of them with normal LASIK ), only 2,000 bothered coming back for regular checkups, which I assume means that they had no problems. And out of the 2,000 that came back only 40 needed to be LASIK'd again. I don't know how many of those 40 had catastrophic failures, but I assume(ass) none as it would have been a big thing in our small town of 400,000. Basically: 1/ Choose a respected surgeon. 2/ Don't get both eyes done at once. The doctor will attempt to convince you otherwise, but don't do it. You could afford to lose vision in one eye. But not both. 3/ Make sure they use a seperate microkeratome ( the thing that cuts the flap on the front of your eye ) for each eye. Of course this would only count if you got both eyes done at once. 4/ Choose Zyoptix over Normal LASIK. Zyoptix remove 10%-40%(from memory) less tissue from the eye, which has to be less disturbing to the eye. Zyoptix also has better results. Zyoptix will cost more, but hey they are your eyes.

Just make a multilanguage compiler, that you can swich your language inline.
i.e.(bad example follows)
#setlanguage = c
char *aString="Hello Joe";
#setlanguage = perl
aString =~ s/Hello/Goodbye/;
#setlanguage = c++
cout << aString;

Why not chuck an lcd screen in there and run a Mac emulator too...
