"I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it."

These DARPA project ads remind me of Command and Conquer cut scenes. My only question is, are these new cyborg soldiers and engineers NOD, or GDI?

The two way feedback is pretty darn awesome.

As long as dem hands can hold the handlebars of a Segway (and Fleshlight) ALL SYSTEMS GO.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or NAMBLA...

Thanks for reminding me about the time Bush fell flat on his face trying to use a Segway... That was priceless...

But seriously, that's just plain tasteless, even for you, QM. Good to know there's people like you to "support" our troops, especially those who have given more than they should have.

Back to the vid though this is awesome, however, I'm a bit concerned of the obvious (to me at least) military applications. Why send a soldier home minus an arm when you can put him back on the battlefield thanks to a prosthetic with an integrated firearm (no pun intended)?

Then again, I'm a huge Ghost in the Shell fan... so maybe I'm just paranoid.

I for one welcome our new cyborg overlords...

Masturbation will be cold by Iraqi vet women.

The news anchor looks like she's had a full-body transplant. Holy plastic talking head, Batman.

The guinea pig guy is gaining a benefit from religion... he feels his role has purpose, so he's able to perform it better, and stay optimistic.

He could gain that same benefit without having to believe in untrue things by intellectually understanding the value of his role in the larger system. Also, a rational agent (see game theory) would generally be optimistic anyway.

I CAN FIRMLY STATE THAT THE PAST IS ALL BEHIND US NOW!

Hooray for robot hand jobs!

This stuff always freaks me out, but it's great to see what's being made.

"So what do you feel when I press here?"
"My index finger"
"Here?"
"My thumb"
"Here?"
"An imminent sexual harassment suit"

Soon she'll be ALL robot!

this is great, but I think of the problems such an interface may cause when interacting with... the evil rest of the world.

such as electronic jamming or - in case they for some reason decide to insert some wireless technology into it - hackers.
hey I've got a bluetooth arm! ffs why is it punching me! stop, arm, stop!
lol it's like Neuromancer meets The Army of Darkness.
