I think the aliens got jfarfenuge. Probably the teenagers were not effective in protecting jfarfenuge from the aliens. I guess I will go back to fighting them off with my joystick instead.

Sorry. Half the post disappeared. It was there when I previewed it but then it was gone. Here is how it should have read:

...and the byoac Tech team denies there is a problem with cut posts. I sense a conspiracy.

It keeps disappearing. Here is the article in full. Anyone know why I can't post.


Washington University scientist do a little, um, 'research' into 'Space Invaders.'

The days of attacking aliens with a joystick could soon be over, thanks to a breakthrough technique where a teenager played "Space Invaders" using only signals from his brain.

With a technique that takes data from the surface of the brain, a 14-year-old boy from St. Louis was able to play the two-dimensional Atari game without so much as lifting a finger.

In "Space Invaders," a popular video game from the 1970s, players control a movable laser cannon in attempts to shoot rows of aliens that move back and forth across the screen.

The objective is to kill the aliens before they have a chance to get to the bottom of the screen. Once they land, the game ends.

The aliens can also shoot at the cannon, so the player has to try to evade the shots.

The boy, who already had had neural-sensor grids implanted to monitor his brain for epilepsy, was connected to a computer program that linked the video game to the grids.

He was then asked to move his hands, talk and imagine things. The researchers correlated these movements to the different signals fired by his brain.

They then asked the boy to play "Space Invaders" by moving his hand and tongue

I give up. This is absolutely frustrating. Trying to post on this board is unbelievable.

I had this happen to me the other day, and I think I know what's going on.

Some characters in the ASCII table the board software appears to be having a problem with.  In this particular case, for whatever reason it's not liking the cut-n-paste quotation mark.  The board software from there does not allow anything following this character.

In my case yesterday it was the cents symbol.  Everything I typed after that character didn't appear in my post.
