The Daily Mail reports that a cybernetic hand may soon become part of online conversations.

What the crap?   

[sanglant]

anybody remember the joke page with 5.25inch drives?

[Jimmy Dean]

there is a senior design group here at La Tech who is doing this same thing, and the ghuy who lives above me is doing one as well on his own using microservos.

Can you make it press Alt-F4 for you?

With two of them, the possibilities expand enormously:  Control-Alt-Delete.

And maybe you could type on the remote machine so you could talk to yourself.

lol, try holding right alt with your right thumb and right ctrl with your right index finger, and hit del with your right middle finger. i call it flipping the computer off.

Sigh.  Some people have NO sense of proper usage of technology.  These dorks see it as a way of "holding hands with a loved one" over the internet.   I see it as a way of grafting on extract limbs to become a supervillian.  Where is the appreciation of mad engineering these days?

Bah!

Practical neurological interfaces, at least in the civilian world, are still years away from practical deployment, Reverend Disk.

Nerve splicing is tricky, sure.

[Mabs2]

Are my friends going to be able to finally punch and slap me over Ventrilo?

[Strings]

Wait... when did Mabs get friends?

[Mabs2]

Technically, the Ventrilo channel doesn't have a password and they forgot the admin passwords they need to ban me.

I thought the Japanese already had some working tech in this regard for their powered exo-skeletal work? Instead of just pressure sensors causing the servos to move when you move your arm they actually picked up the electrical impulses along the arm muscle's nerves using convential EKG type sensors. Am I misremembering this?

I now have a vision of "Dr. Octopus" screwing up the subnets for his tentacles, or forgetting IPV6 support and falling off a skyscraper to his death...

That's why the Gods invented PFY's.  They're not just grue bait, you know.

[just Warren]

That's some Thing.

[Perd Hapley]

I will not allow that thing anywhere near me.

Guys, seriously... Not to get all family unfriendly and all that, but the instant that they see that they can clear a profit, the Dark Side of the Intertoobz will figure out how to make it work, and you'll be able to buy 'em in the back pages of certain magazines...
