An Amazing Quality Of Life Enhancing Invention

We can only think about the possibility. Basically it started with 6 Million Dollar Man and then Robocop. The whole idea germination came to him when he read Asimov. Dreams visionary dreams. But he had to work his ass off to get to the current stage. To pinpoint how the brain signals control the various nerves dictating the motion. The invention is amazing for stroke victims, even paralysed patients to a certain degree. I believe he will be able to further improve it for dexterity and mobility. By using brain signals, it connects the brain to the sensors at various robotic joints, amazing. Its also commercially available but production is only...

This is what we have .... calling the opposition:Pondan (effeminate)Bangsat (bastard)Bapok (transvestite)First of all, is there anything wrong in being a bapok or pondan?

No Point Diversifying?

There are still some who think it is worthwhile to diversify their stock holdings into various countries. If we were to look at the falls from highs to lows during the subprime crisis (USA) in 2008-2009, and the recent sell down owing to the Euro-crisis (July till now), there is really nowhere to hide.The drop from highs to lows during the USA Subprime mess:AMERICASUnited States (SPY): -47%Canada (EWC): -54%Mexico (EWW): -59%Brazil (EWZ): -59%Chile (ECH): -51%Comment: The US markets actually held up pretty well, it is their neighbours that fared poorly.
