just think... if they bundle all the nerve endings into a central connector; (a 500pin perhaps?), you could then unscrew the hand, and screw your wrist direcly to another controllable machine. For instance, your car, jet plane, keyboard, server, forklift, firearm, or cellphone.
they install units by Falcon Mfg several years ago..... they need only to have the oil trap replaced every week or 1000 "P's".
They do not smell, likely due to frequent cleaning and because you cant buy asparagus in the mall......

Is Wikipiedia so vulnerable?.....
this week my wife recieved her new American Express card..... not green, but transparent. CLearly visible thru the plastic was a quadruple antenna loop around the edge of the card and a 1cm chip centered in the card top to bottom, and about 3cm off the right hand edge. A call to AMEX with a plea for a card without RFID (easy access they call it) resulted in a kurt "no.... they all have it now." Well, stupid people, they made the chip location very obvious. Now my wife can carry the card on a chain if she wants.... suing the hole I neatly punched thru the card where the chip once was.
BTW, the card also has the traditional mag strip on the back as well.....
I always have printed "ask for ID" on my cards, and have been asked about 75% of the time..... must be my honest face!!
whats wrong with a Baygin generator instead of a battery? a few minutes of winding, and you are good to go..... this is used in many countries when batteries are either expensive, or hard to get.
Excuse me, while I windup my phaser.
no way this works for finding a new prime.... multiply and number of prime numbers (which are all odd) and you get an odd number... add 1 and you get an even number, and even numbers (except for the integer 2) are never prime.
You are all assuming that the smart guns will work every time you need them to. I have had a "smart gun" since 1977. It is a Smith & Wesson modle 25, 45 auto revolver, modified with a trigger block released only by wearing a special magnetic ring. The weapon will only fire if the ring is worn on the proper finger of the firing hand (magnatrigger). http://www.tarnhelm.com/
However, the [positioning of the ring is very sensitive. Often, I have found the gun would not fire because the ring was a couple of millimeters out of range of the device's magnet.
During rapid fire, only 2 or 3 rounds can be fired without repositioning the hand on the grip.
As annoying as this is, it would be unacceptable in a "shoot or die" situation.
In stressful situations, or during a hand to hand struggle, it is not pratical to double check your hand position on the grip. You just want it to work, and work everytime!!!!
I dont think that this new smart gun would be any less sensitive to proper hand positioning. Dying because your hand was a few mm offposition is not acceptable.

you know you are getting older, when you watch Gillians Island reruns, and Mrs Howell seems hot.
