23C3 - Body Hacking

[d4m4s74]

version 2.0 of the implantable magnet is better. the method of encasing the magnet in the silicone is improved and it can't breach anymore. Now the only problem is possible rejection. (source: BME)

[d4m4s74]

I watched the first 5 minutes. the introduction, and don't have time for the rest for now. Looks like I'll have to favorite it and get back to it tomorrow at work.

[shoseki]

We need to get a microPC with wireless into someone's brain.

[AnnaFreakShow]

i respect and agree with everything she said(: so what if her laugh is annoying? She was probably nervous, and i would be too. it shouldnt take away from her perspective, and thanks for putting this up here!

[deviantcreep]

Class issue? wtf? It sounds like she was stereotyping black people as poor and white people as rich? Thats not really fair to assume.

[nekromantix4life]

The getting a magnet stuck in your FINGER is COMPLETELY RETARDED.

When you get an MRI WTF U GONNA DO Rip out the magnet cut ur finger off??!?!

[CallsignRaven1]

@nekromantix4life People with metal in their spine or head still do MRI's.

[BruceFnLee]

@nekromantix4life Maybe you should have watched the video you clown ass motherfuckin teenager.

[nekromantix4life]

@BruceFnLee How many comments did u go through to find that? and why the fuck would i waste 1 motherfucking hour watching retarded shit like this?

Dude u really dont have a life do you hahaha. fucking 9 months ago and commenting on it haahhaha.

xD Wow

xDDD Shit u crack me the fuck up.

Get a girlfriend

!!!!

[plaidfluff]

Whether you like furries or not, you have to wonder about her decision to include some outright furry-bashing based on them wanting to do the same things that she does. How is that that any less legitimate than, say, genital beading or facial piercings?

[Fangsbbz]

Talking to computer nerds about sexual enhancements? good one. They're like, "sexxxy pr0nz whut?"

[adi1133]

she is like a female form of butthead when she laughs

[Geminii27]

Yay Provigil? :)

[mechanesthesia]

OMG This bitch is crazy! I love her!

[Lane510635]

..wow...I like the subject, but I just can't stand her...

[AngerBoy]

She needs to "hack" her wardrobe and haircut. Immediately.

[metalanschi]

Ever read "Neuromancer" or "Diamond Age"?

[tacitr]

Awesome talk. The magnet in the finger mod is something that I've heard of before, and have always wanted.

I do think it's interesting, and kind of ridiculous, that plastic surgeons are only allowed to perform modifications that are socially acceptable, and can lose their medical licenses for doing any modification that takes a person away from social standards of beauty.

[kuukie]

Jeez, she really hacked my body right there over the internets by making my ears bleed.

[Hookiegirl]

God, what an annoying woman. If she had some good points, she spoiled them by being extremely hard to respect.

[teenagefishman]

your laugh is extremely annoying

[cardc26]

I second that!

[soybased]

what the fuck is the point of this dumb crap

[DRumDRock]

shes not as funny as she thinks she is

[FrankyTurbo]

who really is as funny as they think they are though.

[sdfraggle]

somebody needs toastmasters

As a society we're ok with exercising BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR OUR BODIES. Unlike cutting which causes damage. And isn't there something to be said about the pain and anguish of exercise vs the pain and anguish of cutting one's self?

[thepyre]

not all exersize is good. in fact, many people cause tremendous damage to their bodies by exercizing improperly. my guess is that you are "outraged" and weighing in with your opinion on the idea of cutting, despite the fact that you've never experienced it. but, hey, good job with the caps lock.

[barophobia]

You guessed wrong. I'm not outraged. I just don't think she's right.

Tone of voice is hard to convey online so I stand by my use of caps lock. Deal with it.

[JRadomsky]

i'm dealing with it by telling you how i feel about it. and you might think she's wrong, but i am informing you that your opinion is uninformed. DEAL WITH IT :P

[bobb123678]

Exercise IS NOT good for you. The end result of being stronger/leaner comes from damaging your muscles and the body reacting by regrowing that tissue and additional to prevent ongoing damage. The euphoric effect is the same because you are damaged in both, just that working out tends to make the body look better according to social norms.

[barophobia]

So let's imagine for a second that we're "cave people" and we live in an area with several dangerous predators. Which one of us is going to live longer when the tiger comes through the village? The one who spends their time cutting their arms/legs/whatnot or the one who spends their time chasing after rabbits and birds for food? Granted, it's not a great example but I think it does well enough.

Citing muscles rebuilding after exercise doesn't seem like a strong argument.

[barophobia]

@bobb123678

(Since I didn't have enough space in my first post...)

The body rebuilding muscles is something it does naturally to protect itself. It happens all the time, naturally. If I'm a delivery man walking up and down stairs all day I'll have strong legs. Cutting is something people normally avoid at all costs unless they're trying to fulfill some kind of "need".

They're totally apples and oranges and they're not just a matter of social norms.

[kiloboba]

umm good luck with implanting things under your skin. How about you just get chipped and be a real tool.

[fuzzybunnies]

I guess it's true... what we can do - we will do. I can't wait to be tracked by my RFID chip.

[Potent1al]

she is fucking annoying

[quraid]

the guys criticizing her voice and laugh, have you considered for a moment that she sounds absolutely stage scared. it is not easy to talk in front of a crowd for many people.

it was a good session and i found it more informative than your whines.

[ejoy1220]

A fucking tie??

You think a woman who was planning on wearing a tie would at least pick one that doesn't make her look like a jackass.

[boutoku]

im so gonna hack my body when i can

[thirtysixway]

sup digg

[Jzoomer06]

sup idiot, internet without being fed by digg.

[b33p]

Her laugh and voice and general speech manner contributes to the death of kittens worldwide. Make it stop.

[FrankyTurbo]

Then don't watch it, dude. There is a stop button. Use it whenever you would like.

[b33p]

Listen plebface, there is no stop button. It's either play or pause. Just like iTunes; which is for faggots.

[FrankyTurbo]

Listen potato picker - semantics aside, the button stops the feed.

[b33p]

I live in the capital city, you fat and ugly fuck. You're a stupid moron.

[digey]

GET A REAL SPEAKER TO DO YOUR SPEECH!!!!

But skip to 12:05 however you can't skip her stupid laughter!!

[paularbo]

That woman should've hired someone to make the speech for her.

Would've taken her 1000x more seriously if we couldn't hear her laugh.

[jaymitchnj]

BME pain Olympics!

Sorry, but I won't be modding my body.

[drjsteinberg]

Can someone please post a shorter, edited version with text bullets or mainpoints in the description.

[ChewRocka]

yeah, nothing like a nervous laugh to annoy the crap out of you.

[valetudo025]

zzzzzzzzzzzz

[nplakun]

I couldn't make it 10 minutes into this thing- her nervous laughter made me want to punch my face.

[Daishi03]

Her laugh is aggravating me.

[mulcher3]

I hate her laugh more than I have ever hated anything ever. Mostly I just hate her.

[ItBurnsSomehow]

her laugh makes me want to punch a baby

[Jackrabbit187]

Boooring

[BadMuffler]

this women is a fucking insecure dipshit nerd. Also bitch I will bet you a million dollars an MRI will not rip a fucking earth magnet through the air or through your body. You are a fucking dipshit.

[checkeralta]

Interesting view of(to) medical enchantments and body modifications! Worth to think about...

[jhughes11b]

Pretty interesting ideas but way toooooo long.
