Concidering the effect that sex had on the development of the internet, linking LabVIEW with sex may be a good idea.

Aristos Queue Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 The post is not as far fetched as it might seem (though, yes, it is a stupid post seeing as how there's no answerable question actually asked). I have a friend who used to be a programmer for the "Sexbox 360", a hardware and software extension for the XBox 360 which allowed for remote interaction between players, considered a revolution in the field of "teledildonics" -- I'll let you parse the prefixes and suffixes of that one. They were considering using LabVIEW for their hardware testing. My friend moved to a new company before they made a call about LV. Quote Link to comment

They were considering using LabVIEW for their hardware testing. My friend moved to a new company before they made a call about LV. I remember reading about an early innovation in that field about 12 years ago. It involved video chat software (CUSeeMe, as I recall) and...I swear this part is true...a tiny video (or at least color-sensing) device you would stick to the front of your monitor. The software interacted with the hardware by displaying colored boxes in the chat window, which the sensor would interpret and use to send the control commands to the "attachment." I recall the "features" list including a claim along the lines of "Works with any computer! No messing with USB or serial devices!".

As long as I don't attempt to form the word mentally, I am probably safe. [Rant mode = True] We have a big problem looming on the horizon if any of the above ideas become reality! I blame these problems on those narrow-mind English teachers that insist we only use words that can be found in a dictionary. As a result people are hesitant to invent new words and instead adapt the meanings of existing words to new uses. [Rant mode = False] So my problem with the thoughts expressed in this thread are the new Wiki articles that will be added to support this new technology. Examples; Joy Stick as an output device Input/output device Interfacing The list goes on! I think from now on I am going to make an effort to invent new words and terms (like Action Engine ) anytime I get the chance. Or am I completely off-in-left-field and maybe I should embrace how computers and sex are so "tightly coupled". Ben Quote Link to comment

But before we seriously try to answer the quesion "can we do it?" we should first ask "should we do it?". (I stayed awake through Jurasic Park) Since it is so far out there most of the rules and regulations that normally apply to sex seem to have some loop holes such they can't be directly applied. So... What are the ethical questions that aply? Why shouldn't we do it? Ben Quote Link to comment

I think from now on I am going to make an effort to invent new words and terms (like Action Engine ) anytime I get the chance. Go for it! I've liked the term for some time and make a distinction between it and it's cousins (LV2 global, functional global) in the wiki. I tried, but don't have the stomach or time to argue if such a term is "http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?showtopic=9833&view=findpost&p=40276' target="_blank">contrived". I was pissed for a few days and almost didn't renew my LAVA membership; then realized its not that important. I have decided that I'm no longer a wiki contributor though... It's amazing how powerful words are, especially when they are used to describe something graphical. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I've "VIagrammed" the equivalent of "War and Peace" at least once. "VIagram" - a LabVIEW block diagram image "VIagramming" - the act of creating a LabVIEW diagram image It also contains the string 'viagra' which should help it's acceptance and Google ranking.

At first glance I would be thinking "one who VIagrams" How about "VIagraph" for the captured image and then anyone or thing that produces a "VIagraph" would be a "VIagrapher". If "microscopy" is a legitimate word then .... Ben Quote Link to comment
