Why is Face Recognition a Privacy Deprivation issue? If I am walking about, in public, perhaps attending a Public event, why should it matter to me if I am Recognized? I suppose I might be concerned if I am wanted on an arrest warrant, or cheating on my wife, but in either case, I could also be spotted by a police officer, or a firend of my wife, and the game is over at that point.
The fact is, there is NO expectation of privacy in a Public place. This is not a 4th Amendment issue, as there are no camera's in my home. This is not an issue of depriving my right of association, as I have no fear that others know who I meet with.
I you have something to hide, don't parade it around in the public square.
Throught the optical link is the problem. The firmware that drives the optical link will enforce the protection.
Now if you're talking about recording back to digital from the analog produced by your system, than that's a different matter. The sound quality would suck, though.
I fully agree with your basic premise. Regression testing is vitally important for these kinds of large systems. The process of developing your test suite in parallel with your production code can go a long way to helping structure and document the system as well.
The perl test suite is FAR more than just testing the terminal. It is very nearly a full-coverage regression suite. There are defined procedures for module authors and tools to create test suites.
...to watch from the beginning, when Sci-Fi started it over a couple of months ago. I had the same experience with Babylon 5. When TNT started it from scratch, I made sure to catch it, in order. I loved that show. The writing, acting, stories, were all excellent. The whole universe was engaging.
Now, I started watching Farscape, as It had been recommended by people who had told me about B5.
I wanted to like this show, if only to maintain my high regard for some of my friends. But... after 2 weeks, I realized this was nothing other than Buck Rogers meets Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, with some left-over Fraggle Rock puppets thrown in.
Sorry Farscape just isn't worth the time. The story line wasn't engaging, the caracters were flat, and the whole structure was trite, and had been done better, other places.
I'm glad it appeals to some, but, I've got code to write.
(Lexx is by far, the worst program I've ever seen, except for ALF. And Andromeda. And Earth:Final Conflict.)
Of course they didn't say what they are looking for. That isn't public knowledge. They only have to tell the judge they got the warrant from. It's in the warrant, and it may become public when there is a trial, or arrests.
If you are really that concerned, why don't you file an FOI?
You are not going to 'Just install Slackware' on a PA-RISC box. Like I said, this is not for the 'roll your own', hobbiest crowd. This venture by HP gets secure linux into corporate datacenters, in a way that hasn't happened yet.
I am using linux in our datacenter. But not for the mission critical things. Our client apps run on RS-6000, HP-9000, AS/400, OS/390, Citrix, etc.
Linux runs some of the webservers, some of the Oracle DB's, some of the communication and file handling, FTP, etc.
Why don't you READ before POSTING? This is the BIG SHOW, pal, not your dorm room. Hardened Linux, on Enterprise-class machines, backed by one of the best support organisations...
THis is a GOOD thing. HP 'Gets It', in spades. I hope it is successful. It will help Open Source endeavours of all stripes.
Get a freaking clue. The only HP-added code that is GPL'ed are the kernel-space mods. All the HP user-space stuff is binary-only, and NOT under the GPL. They don't have to give it away.
Don't even think of comparing Oracle to MySQL. They reside in vastly different problem spaces. MySQL is a nice little backend for little websites. Oracle is a huge, powerful backend for very large websites, financial applications, manufacturing systems....
MySQL is not capable of crossing the street that Oracle races on.
Don't get me wrong. I use MySQL every day, for the problems that can be solved by small, simple databases. Company intranet, weblog, bulletin board, web stats, shopping cart.
I also use Oracle every day, for solving the problems of managing the infrastructure of the second largest ASP in the USA, and the largest IS solutions provider in the Healthcare industry.
HP will most certainly answer the phone. Their firstline techs are often better than some companies senior techs. We're talking Enterprise class here, not Mom and Pop ISP.

If I make 1 tenth as much as you, I am therefore entitled to 10 times as much help as you
That is so wrong in so many ways.

We have to ASSUME that the MS service pack installer does what it's supposed to, and doesn't break anything in Windows, or in your applications.
No, they weren't Bernstein. They were Jerry Goldsmith, who has won more Oscar's for his film scores than you've had orgasms.
How is this connected, even slightly, with a discussion of Farscape?

Do you own any Mutual Funds? You may also own part of IG Farben.
NPR is nowhere near unbiased.

There is a special paint you can get. I had a boss who did that to one side of his office.
There is also a special wallpaper that has steel in it, so magnets will stick.
He IS the kid down the block.
By the time your doing chickens, does it really matter if they are hens or roosters? I mean, sick and twisted is sick and twisted.
My filesystems all got to Eleven.

Who mentioned @home? I'm talking about ASP datacenters, heavy crunching, warehouses, transactions.

Much of that Greek and Roman knowledge was also preserved by Irish monks, copying and re-copying the anciant manuscripts.
I think the answer is yes.
