Xerox's 'Intelligent Redaction' Scanners
coondoggie writes "Xerox today touted software it says can scan documents, understand their meaning and block access to those sensitive or secure areas so that prying eyes cannot read, copy or forward the information. Xerox and researchers from its Palo Alto Research Center debuted "Intelligent Redaction," new software that automates the process of removing confidential information from any document. The software includes a detection tool that uses content analysis and an intelligent user interface to protect sensitive information. It can encrypt only the sensitive sections or paragraphs of a document, a capability previously not available, Xerox said."
Hey now, don't lump these crackpot tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists in with the rest of us run of the mill liberals.
I do love how all these 9/11 conspiracy theorists all suddenly became phD level structural engineers, aeronautics engineers, and whatever the hell other kind of engineer exists. I'm an engineer and even I know when I"m trying to analyze something that's way above my expertise.
I recall reading a story of a Greek philosopher once (forgot which one it was). He walked through the city, talking with common folk about all subjects from politics to history, and arrived at the conclusion that everyone except himself is a fool - for he is the only one who realizes when what he's talking about is out of his league.
