With the upcoming release of Deus Ex – Human Revolution, I can’t help but think about the feasibility and ideology behind mechanic and nano augmentation. 2027 though? not sure.

The now

I thought I had best start with our current position in the world. What have we already achieved? I started with a few keyword rich searches in Bing (Ooo, not Google… how controversial). The former are not so interesting, yet they start the thinking process:

• Birth Control implant
• Pacemaker

A few more search results return some more interesting break throughs:

• Prosthetic limbs
• Electronic eye (yes, that’s right, electronic eye!)
• Bio augmentations (mouse with ear on back)

Deus Ex – Human Revolution

Human Revolution – the prequel to Deus Ex has complex mechanical tools/weapons augmented into a human body. Deus Ex has nano augmentation (Just like a  big computer packed into a laptop and a laptop packed into a mobile). All these augmentations have connections to each other because they are connected like us to an internet; a data highway if you will. Big Brother?

So why not?

If we already have chemical releasing implants, pacemakers to keep our own hearts continuing even though they are supposedly non-functional, electronic hands that can interface with our muscles and allow amputees to get their independance back and electronic eyes that make some blind people have some visibility again… why not?

Imagine in 10 years time, people are optionally having phones augmented into their body. Think about answering the call and the call inside your head picks up. Use mind control to talk to each other similar to using direct neural interfacing to control objects on a screen like this. Look at a random passer by on the street and, through the internet, face recognition or some identification calls a database and recieves information about that person. Imagine how easy policing would be?

Let’s think harder. Imagine people are forced to have an augmentation that stores up to date readings of alcohol and drug levels or illnesses people have. A database of everyones conditions, thoughts, movements that can be accessed with a search tool like Google. It doesn’t seem complex to me… and it’s a fucking scary thought. I for one wouldn’t let someone implant that kind of shit into me, so there will be politics. Politics will fail, so there will be fights. Fights lead to wars and terrorism. People will be searching for groups and others who have managed to not get implanted. The police, the army, the World are looking for you and your group…

Not so surprising then that Deus Ex – Human Revolution could be real within the next 100 years. I only wish I could be alive to see it happen.

Life injects minds with haste too quick,
The feeling subsides to choose,
What the creative sponge will suck up today,
Like a vulture in the burning winds.

The deserts of my mind,
Prickled by the distaste for human integrity.

I’m arming my guilt with a smoke grenade,
Short fuse.
Pin released.

I hope that the echo beholds a rapture,
We all sought before the aftermath.
The endless conundrum of a sharp complexity,
And a beveled personality.

I’ll gallop away on my horse,
To the mountains of beyond,
To the valleys yonder,
And envelop myself in elation.

FUCKING GRUB FUCKING LOADER… PIECE OF SHIT…

The same problem over and over again. You restart after a computer crash and GRUB WANKING LOADER COMES UP…

“Grub Loader could not initialize: ERROR 15″ or some fucking error like that…

What? WHAT? FUCKING WHAT? I already uninstalled your ass you piece of shit.

This is how to repair Windows 7 if Grub decides to take over your god damn pc again.

1. Put your windows 7 disk in the computer
2. It will load before the Grub loader if your BIOS has CD as 1st in BOOT Sequence
3. Wait for Windows 7 disk to load, choose your language and press next
4. Select Repair your computer (bottom left)
5. Click Command Prompt
6. Type: dir
7. Is this your windows partition? If not, find the windows partition, it’ll have windows folder in it I’m guessing. You can change drive by typing: c: or whatever drive letter you have then typing: dir to check.
8. When you’ve found it, type: “chkdsk /f drive:” without the quotes. Replace “drive:” with whatever drive your windows installation is installed on.
9. It’ll do some long old process of checking files and will tell you when it has done its job.
10. After it’s done, press the close button and restart your computer, take the disk out and cross your fucking fingers
11. If this hasn’t solved your problem, pray to fucking God, because it took me 1 whole hour to find a forum with an answer that worked and this ain’t the first time it has happened.

UP YOURS GRUB LOADER

I was on holiday in Gran Canaria for a week… I get one text during that whole time and it said “Interesting news, Coffee machine blew up”…

I mean, it’s kinda funny when your swimming in a pool in 37 degrees heat drinking cocktail after cocktail after beer after whatever that drink is after more and more alcohol… but damn is that freaking crazy. That poor women who got absolutely pwned, hope she does allright etc…

Want a coffee?… KABOOM!

Ok so here’s a quote from a proper long news article about what happened… Probably should click through and read up on this crazy shit.

Mail Online: “It went off like a bomb yesterday in Sainsbury’s, in Farnborough, Hampshire, blasting a hole in a wall and injuring 15 people.”

Enjoy your cup of coffee…

I recently pushed out the boat and decided to go on a holiday. Using Thomas Cook’s crock of shit website, I managed to get to the “pay now” button.

What’s this? Payment declined?

Apparently Abbey don’t like their customers spending over £1000 at any one time so they lock the account… I’m a thief!

Ok fair enough, a little protection on my debit card is probably a good thing, so I decided to ring up Santander, get the card unlocked and proceed with my holiday payment. No big deal!

I dialed the phone number and was greeted by the most amazingly fucking annoying music I have ever heard, like some epic adventure of banking grief. This women is telling me every 30 seconds “we’re very sorry to keep you waiting but we aren’t working hard enough to answer your call because we suck more than a Dyson”.

25 fucking minutes later I cancel the call and re-dial; more enraged than a pot of Naga Chilli.

“The custom service is currently closed, please select from the following options”

Ok, so the custom service counter is closed yet I can choose from options and wait in an infinite loop for noone to fucking answer.

*claps hands*.

Cheers Santander. Thanks for the great holiday you piece of shit.

Really hope you enjoy your day.

Hi all,

Here’s some news that will get your blood boiling and your sugar levels low.

I decided to go to Chessington World of Adventures to have a ruddy good time and as usual, I went directly to the medical hut to sort out my disability bands for my diabetes; they allow me to go to the front of queues due to the risk of getting low blood sugars whilst waiting.

I was greeted by a disabled man (not sure what he had) and I explained my situation of being diabetic, handed him a note from the doctor clearly stating that it is a risk for me to wait in the queues and listened intently to what he had to say:

CWA Staff: “Is that the only disability you have?”

ME: “erm, yes, it IS the disability I have”

CWA Staff: “Well we only hand out the bands to people who find it difficult to wait in queues”

I was stunned. I simply said ok and left the hut. The story doesn’t get much better than this. Luckily I went back in with some guts and explained:

ME: “How is this acceptable? I pay £36 to enter Chessington to have a good time, not to constantly worry about my blood sugars. When I wait in a queue, my blood sugar levels lower; especially in the sun. I get to the ride and ignore my symptoms because I am excited about getting on and then have a hypo whilst on it.”

CWA Staff: “Well we will give you the band this time, but next time you need to bring a letter stating it’s difficult for you to wait in a queue”

Well hangon… Didn’t I just tell you it’s difficult you fool, and read the damn letter too, it explains it.

So anyway, I got the band but what a total waste of my time.

I guess what I want to try and say is that Chessington World of Adventurers is way off the mark when it comes to defining what a disability is.

Grr, James
