Computers That Feel our Mood

Roland Piquepaille writes "It certainly happened to you to be so frustrated by the 'reactions' of your computer that you wanted to break it. And the computer industry has noticed, trying to build hardware and software as user-friendly as possible. Still, it would be a good idea for your computer to guess when you're about to become mad at it. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany are working on computers that estimate our emotions. Their solution involves cameras and image analysis, but also special gloves equipped with sensors to record your heartbeat and breathing rate, your blood pressure or your skin temperature. And even if it's difficult to train a computer to interpret emotions, they have enough confidence in their system to demonstrate it at the next CeBIT in March 2006."

Are you sure that your 'bug' isn't really just your inability to understand how to use the software properly, a lacking not just in the documentation but in your patience to read said documents or to learn how to use the software properly?

Few here would argue that open source documentation or help is in any way better than what comes from the corporations. Most open source leaves you high and dry on how to use even the basic commands, let alone suggestions on why your dumbfuck actions have led to ugly results.

If you feel so strongly about this ... oh high and mighty Caspian, master of English ... as your wordy post suggests, then the question really is why are you not spending every waking hour of your life contributing to the documentation of open source projects such as OpenOffice?

If you are not helping, then you are part of the problem.

YOU HAVENT GOT THE TIME!?!

what a dumbfuck.

If you have time to complain like a wanker about the problem in an epic post here, then you have time to learn the software and help with open source documentation to fix the problems for everyone.

But of course the high and mighty Caspian is too good for that. Only he should benefit from such work carried out by others.

If you don't like your shit shoved back into your face, don't toss it around on others here over a simple spelling mistake.

wow what a dumbfuck.
