Cell Phone with Camera = Scanner

An anonymous reader writes "TechJapan has posted a translation of an Impress Watch Article regarding a new technology developed by NEC and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, that lets people use their cellular phones with cameras as scanners. It says all you have to do is move your phone over the surface of the piece of paper while recording a movie, and the technology (some sort of software I presume) will construct a high resolution image from the individual frames of the video. Here is the original (Japanese) NEC press release." I'd love to see before and afters to see how well this works.

    GNAA Announces responsibility for kernel backdoor
    By Tim Copperfield
    Raleigh, NC - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced one of their loyal members was responsible for planting the "backdoor" inside the popular opensores operating system, Lunix (Stocks, Websites).

    In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative goat-see revealed that the mistery hacker who penetrated high-security defenses of the Lunix "source code" repository and injected viral gay nigger seed deep inside the kernel was indeed a full-time GNAA member.
    "This is serious," goat-see began. This is a first event of such magnitude since GNAA opened its doors to new members in 1996. Until now, we were gathering new members by announcing our group information on a popular troll website, slashdot.org, but this is a whole new era. By injecting our holy gay nigger seed right into the Lunix kernel, we will be able to immediately collect thousands of members. "Make the most of the next six weeks," he added. "We will grow in numbers more than you can possibly imagine".
    Insertion of the GNAA backdoor came right between the consideration of Novell to buy out the entire Lunix Kernel programming team, and will most likely positively affect the decision. By adding all the gay niggers working for Novell with the gay niggers developing Lunix kernel source, GNAA will be all-powerful and will begin plotting our next plans to add "backdoors" into the next favorite operating system, BeOS.

  3. God and Science agree: Faggots Face Hopeless Futur by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    In a rare instance of cooperation, both God and Scientists agreed in a recent press release that homosexuality is unnatural aberrant behavior. Speaking from cloud 9 in heaven, science spokesperson Charles Darwin noted, "Clearly sex is hereditary, if your parents had it, it's likely you will too. Therefore homosexuality must be a learned cultural behavior." Sigmund Freud postulated that it is "possibly the outcome of broken families that have become popular in the more advanced civilizations that are currently experiencing postmodern deconstruction of the industrial economic paradigm, coupled with the feminist and homosexual media attack on the paternalistic nuclear family unit." Carl Marx speculated that personality derangement might be a form of altruistic socialist population control, where individuals subconsciously volunteer, or are recruited, at a young age to not reproduce, thereby securing greater resources for the offspring of heterosexuals in the next generation." Meanwhile, speaking for the major religions, Jesus and The Buddha showed some compassion, while The Profit Mohummad and several Old Testament Jewish Seers unanimously condemned "the perverts to an everlasting torment hanging by their genetalia over a lake of burning camel excrement."
