New Prosthetic hand - with nerves...

Scientists create and install a prosthetic hand that not only is controlled by the brain, but will (hopefully) eventually actually feed data back to the brain as tactile sensation.

Impressive stuff.

If I was getting my forearm replaced, I'd go the whole wolverine thing and be done with it ;)

So like... if my dad should someday cut off my hand with a lightsaber, I'm covered?

Unwieldy in close quarters. Gatling gun with a spring loaded bayonet is better.

I'd settle for a standard hand. No extra strength. Just be nice if I lost my hand to get it back i'd imagine.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

This is awesome.  I gather that it can send sensory information back, which is pretty amazing.  Makes you wonder what it actually feels like though.  Or what it would feel like when one of you people triggered your various implements of destruction.  Hm... you think they'll include pain?  or atleast a dull ache or something to let you know your thumb is about to fall off or your finger needs some WD-40.

An arm and a leg. :lol:
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
