Why not let a "prosthetic" hand take the injury in the first place?
Yes, it's called a push stick. It takes about five minutes to make one.

You mean you can print in 3D now? Why have you guys kept that so quiet for so long?
Yeah! It's really cool. You print one image in red ink, and one in cyan. Then when you look at the result with 3D glasses (the colored lens ones, not the polarized filter ones)... and poof! 3D!
how much more improvement can you get?..
Well, you could convince the sensors applet and the clock applet to wake up from suspend properly instead of randomly consuming all CPU cycles, preventing the gui from awakening.
The power load of waking up 20 hard drives at the same time can be tremendous compared to the load when they're all spinning and purring.
Spinning drives... how quaint!
Courthouses are often large old buildings with a lot of marble pillars, marble floors, and immovable walls. This may be why they used Wifi... It's just not feasible to drill a hole through 3 feet of marble to run Cat5.
... and yet they have power. So how did they do that... extension cords running all around the joint?
So? Run LibreOffice everywhere
Great plan! How do I convince my affiliates, vendors, clients, and other business partners to switch?
Recently both rear view cameras and sideview camera systems have been criticised as a bad idea by some here on Slashdot.
This Land Rover invisible hood system seems beyond criticism. But I'm sure slashdot naysayers will find an angle anyway. Go for it...
I think the biggest legitimate criticism that came out of the rear/side camera replacement of mirrors was that you had to refocus your eyes from infinity to dashboard to infinity each time you glanced at the video display. In this case you will already be tracking your bonnet so that the required change in eye focus will be minimal.
The biggest criticism with rear view cameras is that when you are reversing, you're looking out of the rear window so you can't even see the dashboard, let alone the display.
Is a cellphone. Cell. Phone. It makes phone calls...
Sucks to be you, then. My cell phone takes pictures; measures distances, angles, and levelness; points north; plays music and videos; reads barcodes; displays web pages; identifies stars and planets in the night sky; shows maps; quizzes me on CCNA; plays games; provides reading material; reminds me of appointments; sends and receives email; lights my path; calculates; and myriads of other things. Oh, and of course, it makes phone calls.
Why would you allow them to do an oil change at 50mph?!
Because doing one at 100mph is dangerous.
It's amazing - fucking amazing - that while the NSA was busy spying on Americans Putin was able to invade the Ukraine and surprise us.
You may have been surprised, but who says the invaion of Ukraine was a surprise to the joint chiefs?
Question:
Instead of turning around at the halfway point and using the same thrust to decelerate, would it be possible to, theoretically, initiate an explosion in front of the craft, equal in yield to the amount of thrust used to achieve whatever speed your craft is at when you need to start accelerating? Kind of like the old police trick of pulling in front of a speeding car and using the police cruiser to slow it (but with a BOOM instead of brakes, obviously).
Only if you want everyone squashed to a jelly. The point behind the continuous acceleration, flip, and continuous deceleration is to provide a 1G environment so that the passengers/crew experience Earth normal gravity. Coasting along and slowing down with an explosion means years in a zero G environment followed by a gargantuan deceleration. Whatever bones remained within the passengers and crew would be snapped like twigs.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
