Comment Re:Just y'know... reconnect them spinal nerves (Score 1) 210

The problem, even with a spinal cord cut intentionally and carefully, is that the surgeon has no way to know what connections in the head go to what connections in the body.

It sounds like he's simply hoping it all sorts itself out somehow. Or maybe that the brain could eventually remap everything. Seems unlikely. Especially within two years.

Soulskill, thank you for letting us know, and for the effort.

Some problems I am having:

  • I can't get to my account settings. Right now I get a pop-up of article category choices.
  • I can post to a story that I posted to yesterday. This has actually been true for some time. I get a "you can't post to this page" message. Perhaps it is due to some issue with the ISP's invisible proxy? This means I can't ever follow-up when I get a reply.

The problem with the way DSL worked with so called "naked" service is that you were still relying on the shit infrastructure that the local telco had there. 8000 feet away from the DSLAM, on a trunk that has 90% utilization making for a shitload of crosstalk interference? Too bad. All the "choices" could still only deliver the same shitty 512k service because the equipment just couldn't do better without someone putting more lines on poles.

Comment Re:You mean BMW numbering? (Score 1) 109

The 1-series and 3-series did have both 2-door and 4-door versions, and this was confusing in respect to where they were going with their numbering schemes.

Thus, the 2-series and 4-series were born as the 2-door versions of the 1-series and 3-series, respectively.

Want 4 doors? Get an odd-numbered first digit. 2 doors? Even.

"I freed myself from wearing a watch about 10 years ago. No longer having the familiar restraint around my wrist has made me feel free. I much prefer a phone in the pocket to a phone on my wrist."

And I felt the same way -- until I started wearing a pebble. I like keeping my phone in my pocket rather than taking it out 50+ times per day to see if an email or text is trivial or not.
