A computer programmer who lost his ring finger in a motorcycle accident has had it replaced with a USB drive. Jerry Jalava from Helsinki, Finland, has built the special prosthetic finger which he can peel back from the 'nail' and plug into the USB slot on his computer

That's... uh... fine?

[cerina]

Err ... why?

[mid_nite_poet]

yeah Why??

[Spirit of Desire]

I supose there are worse places to peel back skin and discover a USB drive.

Although it does offer the same advanteges as a finger for insertion into sockets.

[cerina]

I wouldn't want one of them plugged into my socket without my knowledge. You never know what virii they might carry.

Just remember Cerina, the less years of use there are, the less likley there will be a virus.






On a completly unrelated topic, I have only been sexually active for 6 years now. Im pretty sure that makes me quite unlikly to have an STD.

[cerina]

It doesn't. Just having sex once can transmit an STD. Never take risks with your health.

[Spirit of Desire]

Well if you dont want it Cerina then I will put my trousers on and go back home.

As long as you have NOD32 installed on your pen(is) drive, you should be protected. Though if you use a Trojan brand condom you won't be able to wear it.

There's a slogan going around right now to the effect of "If you sleep with somebody, you're also sleeping with all of their previous sexual partners.", which is very true. Especially if you're at an orgy.

There are some, like chlamydia, which can be asymptomatic (not show any symptoms) for a long time. The incidences of chlamydia have increased 150% in the past decade, and gonorrhea by 42%.

Recent surveys of young women attending GP clinics have found a chlamydia prevalence of 8.1% among those under 20 years old, and 5.2% among those 20-24 years old. However, rates vary widely according to the setting in which surveys take place.

For example, among women under 20 years old, surveys have found a chlamydia prevalence of 17.3% in GUM clinics, 12.6% in antenatal clinics, 12.3% in termination of pregnancy clinics, 10.7% in youth clinics, 10.0% in family planning clinics, and 5.0% in the general population. In each setting chlamydia prevalence is lower in higher age groups.4

You are all just scaring me now.

I know its all true, but its scary stuff.

As long as you're consistent with wearing a condom you should be OK. Though any time you have unprotected sex, it puts you right back at risk again. Without wishing to be too graphic, some STDs can be transmitted through oral sex, too, though I'm not sure which. My local docs are offering free chlamydia tests to people from 14-25, so I'm sure there's a similar offer elsewhere in the country if you're really worried.

Even if your local practice doesn't, your local GUM clinic will do, and you can go there anonymously, or under an assumed name.
