"Jerry had a motorcycle accident last May and lost a finger. When the doctor working on the artificial finger heard he is a hacker, the immediate suggestion was to embed a USB 'finger drive' to the design. Now he carries a Billix Linux distribution as part of his hand."

I don't really know what to think about that. I guess good for him if he's happy with it.
That seems pretty weird to me though, it doesn't even really seem like it would offer any kind of advantage.

Hell, if you're gonna have a fake finger, why not? I just hope it's upgradeable so people won't be laughing at his 2gb finger
I wonder if it detaches? Cause that shit would be really annoying to have to hold your hand at a weird fucking angle to connect it to a computer.

i assume that it does. the comments on that article have more info; somebody claims he has multiple prosthesis, including one that stores sd-cards.
what the hell, if you're going to have a fake finger, might as well geek out a bit and get some utility out of it

I like Crasher's prosthetic hand better. Apparently he has a tattoo on it that says "OOPS".
-------------------- Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

What if he needs to input his finger into a biological unit? Does it come with a vibrating attachment?

If I remember right the tattoo is on his stump where the hand is missing, not on the artificial hand.
But I think Crasher should definitely get some badass fake hand implements. Maybe a little built-in Pez dispenser type thing that spits out joints when you pull his thumb back.
