And download a virus that erases my memory.

Dude. Then I could watch Firefly all over again.

well yea once you're past the relearning everything about how to function part, I guess you could.

I was thinking more that it does a selective erasure. How would something that erases your whole mind be useful at all?

it wouldn't, it's a virus.

it wouldn't, it's a virus.

How so?

it erases all your memory.

My point was I hook myself up to the internet and the biggest problem would be hostile programs that would fuck me up instead of fucking my computer up.

Why would you want this to exist :S

lol

I don't!

I'm saying that would be the inevitable result of being able to directly plug into the internet.

......Ohhh.

K. Definitely need more caffeine. I can't read apparently.

I guess body modification counts as medicine.....

I've got a question, how well does UV sterilization work for killing all/99.99999999999% of bacteria in a room.
They make little devices that they use in ambulances around hear that they plug in and sit inside the ambulance and it emmits UV light for a few minutes and it's supposed to clean the whole inside of the vehicle.

*shrug* It depends on the apparatus I guess. I've never seen one of those  but we use an uv based machine for blood derivate sterilization with good results so I guess it's potentially effective at least. I wonder how good it is with crevices though

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Well they close the doors and turn it on for about 10 minutes IIRC and research says it leaves the area pretty sterile. It's a rather large machine and it just blasts the area with a lot of UV light

[ChairmanPoo]

Its probably a good complement for other sterilization procedures.

Just remembered another thing

Someone had the idea of taking common everyday slow working medicine like headache, allergy, stomachache, etc meds and putting them into fast acting powders.
Though I wonder how effective they truly are

Pretty good, actually, in general. I've done an experiment in Microbio lab with a lab-grade UV lamp, and it outright EXTERMINATED every single bacterium on a plate, whereas the part that was covered up by a sheet of paper grew perfectly fine.

Its probably a good complement for other sterilization procedures.

For pedantism's sake: it's disinfection, not sterilization - you'll kill most of the living bacteria and some, but not all, spores, but the point is to minimize them, not exterminate them. Sterilization is used for stuff like surgical tools, which have to be 100% murderized, and in that case you use long, high-heat treatment, preferably steam.
