    Aparantly a Japanese company has made a major breakthrough in robotics. They've come up with a robot suit that can extend the power of human limbs.

    My knees have been slowing me down almost on daily basis. And it's getting more and more depressing to think that one day I won't be able to play basketball. Here is hope that maybe in 20 years I'll be able to get one of these suits so I can keep on playing. The flip side of this is though, I'll still lose to those who can offerd better models ;)

    this would end up just going to wealthy morbidly obese people with junk-eating induced diabetes instead of people that actually deserve it.

    It's called HAL? That's not smart. That thing will probably end up killing people now.
