You can see this in the video. The subjects' heads and stomachs start glowing more brightly as the person dons the piece. The really buff guy's heat shifts to his face and arms almost immediately. So you have your program look for a shorter block with a beacon shining above it.

If facial detection programs that clip the hair off first aren't already out there, my guess is they're close at hand so I don't think the greasy twirls will do much for long.

The handbag gadget seemed functional though.

"Or that a skilled ..."

Nawh. One doesn't get to equate a hypothesis based on an abstraction with one based on empirical evidence from a variety of sources, said empirical data touching a number of fields.

Most literature (Kafka's included) is for the plot and entertainment. Much, if not all, 'insight' taught about Kafka and other's works is projection.

Enjoy the works or spend your life searching for the message between the lines, it's your call, but let's not elevate critics (which is what teachers of literature really are) into some deliverer of truth and insight, they ain't.

Ask Whoopie. I hear she's an expert on what is and isn't really "rape rape".

Wrong pronoun - *it* got old.

Read some world news. Not one of those instances is restricted to first world. I agree that each of those is worse than troll spouting but you yourself dropped into troll mode with your last sentence.

How very nice of you to demonstrate exactly what is being discussed here.

You know one of the hallmarks of a troll it to twist the context so as to make it *their* favorite bugaboo. In this case, a against the US.

To the biologically illiterate AC:

47,XXX
48, XXXX
49 XXXXY syndrome
49, XXXXX
Klinefelter's syndrome
Turner syndrome
XX gonadal dysgenesis
XX male syndrome
XXYY syndrome
XYY syndrome

Don't project.

"I'm not quite sure how Star Trek handled the concept"

Same way all scifi does, presumption. They never explain, they don't have to. It's fiction.

Friggin' funny.

People promoting religious bullshit generally ladle it deeply.

"Sure the body is no longer biological"

You just shot your argument in the ass. You don't think the copy will notice when it wakes up that it's not in the same (or even similar) vessel? It will *immediately* become a different sort of being, all self acknowledged. It would also require everyone else not knowing the difference between the original and the copy. Do you have an idea as to how to get around this?

Then you haven't really transferred at all, have you? Plus, I have some rather severe doubts you can replace a functioning brain cell, much less replace all of the many, many billions - one (or a few) at a time. Do *you* want to go through ten thousand possibly fatal brain surgeries?

What happens if your brain cells reject the invaders and refuse to interact with them?
