Recently I've been spelunking the Digg site, and as with any online community, no comment is safe from flames.

After one commenter complained that the dugg article had already been posted several times before.

SeaweedWater:
I could care less if it's stolen or he makes front page every time or whatever, he's constantly bringing good content to Digg, and it makes my work day go by super fast.

bluntphallus:
* couldn't care less.

Argh, hell. Why do SO many people make this mistake? It's almost as bad as "I will loose a bet", "Your an idiot", "Irregardless of that", etc.

Ah, don't mind me. I feel vindictive. /kicks cat

shortyjacobs:
Maybe he really could care less. Maybe he knows he has the capacity to care less, and he'd like to inform us of this fact. Maybe you're just getting a little too worked up about simple phrases on the internet.

Irregardless, your an idiot, so you loose.

Although I like the fact you kicked a cat.

Downfall of the human race under robotic monkey rulers? Not exactly, but we're getting close!---to understanding how the brain controls the body. Scientists inserted hair-like probes into the motor cortex of a monkey's brain, which were then hooked up to a robotic arm and computer. The computer interpreted the electrical impulses of the monkey's brain, and translated the movements through the robotic arm.

BBC article link.

The monkeys were able to feed themselves using the robot arm, showing that the brain moves limbs by thinking about the goal rather than by directing limbs how to move in order to get there.


Pretty cool, right?
