Morning all!

I need to buy a new computer and I'm a little lost on what I should be looking for. For turking what processor would any of you recommend? And are there any brands that I should stay away from? Is a desktop better than a laptop? I was looking at Frys http://www.frys.com/ads/page115#AdNavi and there are some good prices but I'm really unsure of what is needed for our type of work.

Right now I have an Acer Aspire 7741 and it's just not cutting it.

Not me, only cause there are too many factors in a routine surgery on things that could go wrong, and each surgery no matter how routine is different. Even if you take away human error with robotics, there would still have to be someone capable there to take over for the robot in some situations.
There is a set limit to the amount of things that could go wrong. Say for a heart surgery, there is x amount of things that could go wrong, lets just say x represents 2000 things at any moment could go wrong while preforming the surgery. You could program a machine to make adjustments in case anything goes wrong. Its like an IF statement in programming. If the hearts left ventricle becomes blocked > proceed to this step, etc. In the future, I believe they will have algorithms that can account for every type of mistake that could be made and have a plan, if not multiple plans built in for it. There will probably be one stand in human surgeon in the room. The future I am describing is very far in the future though. We will not experience it, at least I dont think.

you are assuming robotic technology of today. There is a booming advancement in sensors - optics, odor, tactile, etc combine with advancements in AI and miniaturization there is no upper limit on what is possible in the field of robotics.
Oh, I understand that completely. But I'm also going on the fact that I had surgery a year ago. It was done with robotics, and I'm still suffering from complications from what should have been a routine surgery. Not saying that was the reason for the complications, just saying that complications happen. Even ones like in my case they can't exactly figure out what the problem is now or how to fix it.

I'm just going on the fact that everyone is different and that some people develop hematoma's or go into cardiac arrest or a thousand other possible scenarios that a robot might not be able to account for in the moment.

But thats not accounting for lets say someone goes into surgery on their foot, and they have a said reaction to something and they go into cardiac arrest. Rare, probably, but a possibility. But it is also one of those moments that if the robotics are programmed to do the surgery on the foot, it probably wouldn't account for something that could go wrong in an almost completely unrelated part of the body that is being worked on.

I think I slept in... morning cupcakes. :)
Now that you're up, maybe you'll take some taxi reservations, or are you still on strike? I had a great agent this morning, but after 12:00 p.m. EST, she disappeared. I guess she had to go outside. (shudders)
