  1. Re:Will it work the same for all? on Bionic Arm Provides Hope for Amputees · · Score: 1

    nerve endings atrophy after injury; so even if you could "understand" the electrical patterns in the nerves, there would be no "live" nerve endings to hook up to. ~another problem for modern science

  3. Racist undertones in anti-outsourcing posts on The Hidden Cost of Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    While there are good economic reasons for outsourcing, there are some real issues that relate to being able to maintain quality and handle the cultural/timezone conflicts well. Natually there will be debate on this issue, especially when jobs are at stake. However I am astounded to the kind of "free speech" that is exercised by many posters. As an Indian, I feel rather offended by the quite frankly racist undertones in some of the posts. What is more disturbing is that these posts seem to be something that is quite acceptable to other readers. I respect the right of induviduals to feel a sense of indignation at outsoucing, but the lack of respect that most posters (atleast on this thread) seem to have for other countries and cultures is very disappointing.
