Brain transfer
-
or like this ?
Yourbrain = Yourbrain + Mybrain; Mybrain = Yourbrain; // - Mybrain; Yourbrain = Yourbrain - Mybrain;Regards, Prakash Kalakoti

This doesn't work.
Mybrain Yourbrain 1 2 1 3 3 3 3 0-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

I believe if my brain was transfered into a different body and my body a different brain I would consider the brain to be me as the body does not think. Although I know my brain would feel weird in a girls body.

Because our thoughts(generated by the brain) make up our conscience and self-awareness, this procedure would be improperly named "Brain Transfer". Instead it should be called "Total Body Transfer" because if would ever going to wake up after such an operation you would realize that YOU live in a different body, not that you have a different brain.
Plus.. the bigger questions is: what's to be achieved by transplanting the brain into another body. The other person would have to agree to the swap. Why would would he/she agree to it, since the other would be "inferior" otherwise the other person wouldn't even want a body swap :). But ok maybe in some odd cases two persons prefer to own the other person's body. Let's say there was a physical and legal way to accomplish it, I wonder what the implications of that would be. The other option is that the person donating the brain is dead. But definition they aren't dead until the brain dies. So of what use is the brain? Can it can be revived? It starts to degenerate rapidly without blood flow. You can't keep it in a cooler box for a few hours like a liver or a heart! :doh:

first of all, think on all the developers you have ever known, with all the eccentricies they have, many varying far and beyond any stereotype. Now take all that variety (and insanity/chaos) and imagine delivering one interface that correctly interfaces to, and reads from these people properly. Because before such technology ever gets out in the marketplace, some programmer somewhere is going to have to attempt it. Then someone will wonder why it doesn't work for anyone else. ;)
