  1. Hmmm on Bionic Retinas Give Patients Sight · · Score: 1

    In order for someone with one of these implants to be able to tell you how it looks or if it's like "fly vision", they would have to be someone who can recall having previously had normal sight. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any basis for comparison.

  2. Interesting... on Web-Surfing Indian Slum Kids Ask: "What's a Computer" · · Score: 1

    Curious how illiterate children can teach themselves the rudiments of computer use, while my graduate-degreed users who grew up surrounded by the best technology the world offers can't understand the difference between right-click and left-click. It boggles the mind.

  3. Re:Colonialist attitude alive and well on /. on African ISPs Being Fleeced by the West · · Score: 1

    Miletus says: "Perhaps the more open-minded /. readers might reflect on the fact that the industrialization of England and America would not have been possible without "Black ivory" (slaves) from Africa who for centuries provided the basic source of wealth of the plantation econonmy which in turn subsidized the industrial revolution?" Don't even start beating the old dead horse of "you owe us because your ancestors oppressed mine". Read your history and take a look at who was selling those slaves to the European -- yes, their own fellow Africans. Sorry, I think the slavery card was all used up long ago.
