Microsoft should get lost. Now. There is absolutely no reason why they should be meddling in the OLPC Project. They're just afraid that more people will find out how good Linux is and stop using the craphouse that is Windows
1) Will it recognise non-Asians? A Japanese built system probably only looks at people with Asian faces, and doesn't look at Caucasians or anything else. To be honest though, I reckon a US, UK or Australian built system similar to this one would probably forget Asians and other races and only focus on Caucasians.
2) What happens if someone wears a mask?
This is exactly the way Wikipedia needs to go.
Teachers need to stop treating Wikipedia like a piece of dirt, find out what it's about and how it works so they can understand it better, and advocate this to the students. Teachers should lead the way in showing the general public that Wikipedia is not trash.
Good on those people for filing complaints.
The Internet is NOT to be censored, because that defeats the whole purpose of the Internet.
If I knew that my ISP was going to try and control what I accessed on the Internet, I would leave them faster then they could say "censor".
This is exactly why Linux is not as widely used at it should be. Because companies refuse to support it. It's a continuous, unbreaking loop. Companies don't write software for Linux, so no one uses it. Because no one uses it, people don't see any point in writing software for it. See my point?
I always save my files in OpenOffice in the Open Document Format, unless I am sending the file to another person who has MS Office and therefore can't open Open Documents. Why would you save a file in a format that is 4 times as big as another one?
1) this new copyright protection system is easily circumvented by altering one pixel of one frame in the video, making it pointless and a waste of time
2) assuming big companies do provide the "decades of material", what happens if Youtube gets hacked?
It should not be up to the product manufacturers to fix Blu-ray's problem.
When you create a standard, you make sure it's completely finished BEFORE you release it. You don't go and add extra stuff to it once you've released it, and then expect everyone else to catch up to you.
More and more proof that Microsoft sucks big time.
I really really hope that the money goes to Peru, because MS is the last organisation that needs cash.
When will Microsoft learn? This is not going to do them any favours at all.
If they ever want to compete with Google, they're going to need to grow a brain for starters

I've had it up to my neck with Telstra, and this is seriously the last straw.
All the more reason why OOXML should be scrapped in favour of ODF.

The Disabled Right-Click thingy is easily worked around with Firefox, making it pointless.
This is what the Internet is all about.
Free speech.
The US Government should suck it up big time.
Gotta love typsos
There is one word for this. AWESOME.

I never realised people took things like that so seriously.
Good on Google for finally doing it though.
This is a terrific victory for the OLPC Project.
Microsoft should learn their place and get lost.

This is waaaay over the top. Sure, we might live in a world where terrorism is a major threat. But since when was an 8 year old kid a terrorist?

That is why I will never let a so-called computer technician into my house to look at my computer which he knows jack all about.

Let's hope you do better then the titanic
How the hell do you delete a domain?!?!

Happy Birthday Slashdot!

Well I guess this does prove that Halo 3 has been a success at the very least!
