Comment Re:my wife is an odd duck (Score 1) 272

When she read the article her first words were "Where do we get one of those?" O.o

Funny, I laughed and called out the RSS summary to my wife who was playing with our kid in the next room and she had the same response!

I said "Don't you think thats a little personal?"

She replied "Not with one of these!" and shot me a big grin =D

And if this promotes muscle growth where it is used most, most of us Slashdotters will end up with just one Superhuman Arm.

"Hello, I am the Mega-Baiter!!"

Disclaimer: I am married, so my arms would remain the same, but my wife would (through associated absorption) develop some massive jaw and tongue muscles......

I love her....

Comment motor control (Score 1) 609

Motor control, yours, not the car.
Not everyone can be a surgeon, not because of lack of funds, but lack of fine motor control. The size of the joystick makes a huge difference. How many of us were clumsy as F**k when we were growing up? Ever get an adrenaline rush? Remember the shakes that go with it? A near accident would do that for a person, and holding the (nice secure) steering wheel with both hands as you calm down is common. Imagine those shakes affecting your car. My Father-in-law gets tremors he can't control, what would happen to his driving? What if your blood sugar drops and you get shaky or lose your fine motor control? Too much caffeine or nicotine...
Does the joystick support the weight of the arm that is controlling it? Most people cannot hold their arms out for very long, muscle fatigue sets in. I think the idea sounds good, but most people could not handle joysticks at all much less switch to them from regular controls.

Did you bother to double check the address on that birth announcement?
It belongs to a prominent doctor who had a birth at that time, oddly, there is no mention of that birth, instead some nobody immigrant's son gets an honorable mention? Sound like it was planted in the "official records" on microfisch after the fact, in fact, the librarian said those specific record were in high demand...

look deeper, this goes way beyond simple explanations.

As to this being a red herring, in a way it is, as the things his regime are doing will not stop the collapse of the US, but consolidate the power they need to fundamentally change our country and to be in the right place to pick up the pieces they have worked to bring down. Fundamental change to a constitutional scholar will involve the foundation of our country, the Constitution. If we can decapitate the beast in power through the very document they are trying to change, Irony and Justice are served. If we allow it to be defiled and further twisted (INTERPRETED AWAY) then we no longer deserve to call ourselves Citizens, but rather servants. The CFR and the puppets they put in power are treasonous and deserve no less than a traitors fate- Public Hanging.

Don't mod it down if you don't agree with my opinion, instead, make an intelligent comment.
