So will face recognition join fingerprint and iris recognition in a long list of obtrusive recognition techniques
Modern techniques of Iris recognition can obtain ultra-high resolution images of the Iris (used for verification of identity) from video in a matter of seconds from metres away.
I think its the opposite.. since electrons have less distance to travel, they are less likely to 'leak' and thereby have a lower power consumption and generate less heat.
Just a sidenote, military frequencies sometimes seem to interfere with Cable modems as well.
I had 20% packet loss for 2 weeks here during business hours only, until the cable company finally realized that the frequency used on my modem was being interfered by military radio signals in the area
Speaking of this, I have a 3Com Web cam that works perfectly now..
When I first tried to install the drivers under XP (although the WDM's which should work under XP were written for 2000), I was getting Hard system crashes all the time. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even boot XP if the webcam was plugged in after the driver was installed.
But I can definitely say the HW is not faulty because it works perfectly now. I found another driver (of another manufacturer's webcam) that works perfectly.
Why all this complication, wouldn't it be easier to increase the length of time a 'second' takes to be (86400 / 86164) times as long as a second currently is?
Maybe we should invent metric time.
Also.. in ancient times, they used to take a day and divide it by 24 hours as follows. 12 hours would stretch from dusk until dawn; and the other 12 hours is the remainder. As you can see, an hour would vary according to the season and time of day.
(although the above comment was made with some sarcasm...) Surprisingly, our brains may be more digital than you think. Although we can measure neurons by their firing rate (number of spikes per unit time), at each unit time a neuron can be either on (firing) or off (resting).
The difference our brain has to computers is that it runs in continuous time space (completely parallel and asynchronous) compared to computers which are very limited in their parellel computing capabilities and run on a synchronous clock.
- You would willingly have to enter this machine - Its too big and bulky - It is too slow to detect many changes in brain activity
(Can anyone who works with these things expand on my list?)
This is rediculous

This is rediculous, I'm doing some work on neurobiology wrt attention for my CS Masters in Computer Vision. From reading some of the recent research, I don't think the field of neurobiology is anywhere close to being able to determine such concepts from an fMRI or anything similar.
My ISP uses the SMTP AUTH protocol, no way I could use it to relay e-mail, unless I want my personal account name associated with e-mail headers of every message going through my server to AOL.
Even if I wanted to, does anyone know how to use the mailertable file to work with SMTP AUTH?

How do we know that the above link is not pointing to a %01%00 that makes us really download a real trojan?

KVM Switches are real useful, especially when you can now have the user station 100+ feet from the system.
With a name like "BushLan" there are plenty of good slogans you can come up with..
Anyone care to come up with any?
What is this world coming to when you can no longer say that you're looking for a "USED CAR". You have to say "Pre-Owned Vehicle".
Damn this political correctness BS.

This is 5 Million NIS (New Israeli Shekels), exchange rate to the US $ is about 4.6 meaning that they spent approx $1.1 million USD
Hi-tech drug dealers could use this technology to quietly advertise dope on the streats without being to conspicuous.

You think any of those carvings are in the ancient languages of COBOL or Fortran?

I baught CALDera stock at their IPO for $27/share.
Since then, it has gone down to $0.20/share and did a 4x reverse split. Then merged with SCOX
Now at $12.80/share (divide by 4 = $3.20); I've lost..
Good thing I didn't buy too many.

If you look at the headers, how many of them actually originate from servers on those domains (almost none)
This has been a problem for me for months.
/etc/mail/mailertable and finding someone willing to relay all my aol & compuserve mail for me.
My server on cable (IP is relatively static, changes every 6 months or so) has been unable to send to aol.com or compuserver.com for over 3 months.
I found a workaround by using
Just like saying I have 2 grand = $2000, 2gbps means 2 grand bits per second
