And what exactly is the advantage of that? Is the improved readability realy worth the time? Ofcourse not, you and i read it just fine. Get your priorities straight: first learn them dupe-checking, then spell-checking.

If that happens then we're living in a very sick world. I also think LSD should be legal since it's not addictive and does no damage. Also, ratings suck, look at the movies, the big money movies don't want a R rating because they want to maximize their audience. So we're stuck with either cheap or wimpy child-friendly movies.
I don't think we're talking here about replacing body parts, just inserting brain implants.
To improve vision, I imagine it is not necessary to replace the eye (if it's still working) but just insert pixels somewhere between or in the eye and brain. This overlay interface chip should have exact three hardwired modes, directly controllable by your brain (no software in this chip, all hardware and a few sensors to pick up your thoughts):
1.overlay an digital clock in your upper right field of vision.
2.use input from another implant. This other implant may run windows.
3.off.
In case the software of the second implant crashes and impairs your sight (full screen BSOD), you switch the overlay chip to off or clock.
The overlay chip should also route incoming pixels to the second implant, the second implant can increase resolution and perform zooming by sampling multiple frames while you slightly move your head, this ofcourse requires some gyroscope implants to track head motions.
It might be cool to hack one of those virtual keyboards [amazon.com]. You know, the ones that project the keys via a laser [cnet.com]. This would be cheaper & more maintainable than LCDs, but still no feed-back.
Well, you could ofcourse project the glyphs on a blank keyboard. Or invent some kind of pad that gives feedback where ever you press.
yes but you're confusing ICs and computers. ICs are also used in pocket calculators, videos, alarm clocks etc, those devices do not lead to the problems you mentioned.
Most people who can handle a keyboard know the QWERTY layout better than the ABC layout. There is no need to learn two layouts. Most people know ABC in 1D and QWERTY in 2D, so you still have to learn ABC in 2D.
Because there is/was no law that forbids (faster than sound) flight. We just didn't know how to do it and it seemed quite impossible but not prohibited.
GR prohibits FTL. GR does allow wormholes but the required energy makes it impractical.
Just because you can't figure out that FTL is impossible doesn't mean some else can't:P
Note that EQ is just an estimate, some types of animal need more brain mass for it's body than other animals. I imagine that controlling the motion of 20 legs needs more brain wiring than two, that is ofcourse assuming each leg can be controlled individualy.
Ofcource I don't have to tell you that a larger body requires a larger brain. So more accurate would be: iq=brainsize/bodysize. Size could be mass, volume or area and may not be linear.
To verify this I will conduct an experiment: I will amputate my feet and measure my iq before and afterwards.
if you try to assasinate your mother before you are conceived then since time is self consistent something will prevent you
One thing that could prevent this is that we simply won't be able to build time travel machines. If TT is theoreticaly possible, it probably requires more energy than available.
The new legislation will contain rules that will make it illegal to hack or break into the digital locks often used to prevent the copying of movies and software -- although it will remain perfectly legal in Canada to copy a CD for personal use.

No.

More importantly, it makes things less readable.

Yeah, I hope resleeving and needle casting will be here before 2035. AI's might be helpfull with that.

that's interesting, I wish I had modpoints
Maybe storing the digits as an integer. When just removing the decimal point after the '3', that would be I think: 2log(10^83431)/8 bytes.
not to mention the shocks your brains gets to endure.
I guess an artist can use whatever he can glue in an canvas.
Me neither. I think we should have more modpoints, it also keeps people from posting useless comments like this one.

TFA only says it does NOT use RAID but JBOD (just a bunch of disks).

How long have you been sarcasmic? It must have been amusing to be around you.

Not according to GR, you used a frame of reference.
Ah come on, that oneliner is realy overused, you should have said something like:
In Soviet Russia logic parses reporters!

I guess your glass is always half empty.
Maybe they don't want to/are not very good in/can't copy(ing).
