I send spam text messages for useless products. Your brain overheats. I laugh evilly.

That's why I won't get anything like that installed in my head until we can set the software to be auto-denial unless authorized.

Now all we need is some 5 year old japanese kids, a distinctly God-unfearing daddy, an angel in the antarctic-- uh oh, no apocalypse happened in 2000. I guess i'll have to settle for a neurohelment and 100 tons of gleaming battlemech.

Seriously though, although these types of experiments have been going on for quite some time already, i'd be surprised if some kind of direct-brain-controlled prosthetic limb or quadriplegic exoskeleton doesn't appear in the next decade or so. If anything, it gives a new sense to the term 'zombie machine'. In the future, spamming will consist of your best friend suddenly having a seizure and shouting about penis enlargement and Nigerian royalty.

Monkey boxing just won't be the same without real arms.

Hooray, my first sig quote! Clearly i'm now just a few small steps away from supermodship and then a duel-to-the-death with DW, after which i remake SDN in my own image.

Fuck that, the only way I'd even begin to consider it is if all data on the chip was stored on ROM and it was impossible to install anything at all.
