its all a matter of time and effort :D

BTW: you can write an app on your own for that, its opensource :p :D

anyway: the only limit is physics, Newtons Axioms.

But we exceed those limits all the time. And time will go on and technology will grow. So where really is the limit? I will never know in my lifetime.

speaking of technology and botox, the weirdest use of botox i know of is in the treatment of a disorder called spasmodic dysphonia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasmodic_dysphonia
botox is injected into specific intrinsic muscles of the larynx in order to weaken them (the variation of SD the patient has determines which muscles are to be injected). yuk!

FYI:


(http://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/botox)Botox (http://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/botox) is the brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In large amounts, this toxin can cause botulism (http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/botulism-10381), which you probably associate with food poisoning (http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/default.htm). Despite the fact that one of the most serious complications of botulism is paralysis, scientists have discovered a way to use it to human advantage. Small, diluted amounts can be directly injected into specific muscles causing controlled weakening of the muscles.

... by the laws of physics.
Other than that, anything that is possible will be achieved.

Limits are very much a concept of the present; they seem meaningless to the future.

I thought the stiffness in my fingers was due to a combination of laziness and getting older. Now I know what's been slipped into my coffee.

Who said that? (looks round room doing a fair impression of paranoia)

of course it is. Technology shouldn't be intelligent in terms of self-thinking. And intelligence is a dependency of humor.

I think technology does have a sense of humor, albeit a very dry one. Haven't you ever tried to start you car for hours and it won't start then someone else turns the key and it starts right up. Darn car is playing games with me. Sense of humor alright but not funny, not one bit.

Most have been because of the new standardized packaging format called: botulism, found in GNUbotoKs
