  1. Nothing new here. on Samsung System Tailors Ads To Its Audience · · Score: 1

    That's not new. There's facial recognition systems running in every airport and Tim Horton's coffee shop in the country. Oops, did I say that out loud? On another note, can you even imagine a world without advertising? I can, and I like the idea.

  2. Re:Its not a problem.... on Earth's Period of Habitability Is Nearly Over · · Score: 1

    Rayban already has the patent.

  3. Re:GPUs are dying - the cycle continues on AMD's OpenCL Allows GPU Code To Run On X86 CPUs · · Score: 1

    Sort of like a Cell processor?

  4. I understand where Allan is coming from... on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 1

    I did the Gentoo thing for a few years until I got sick of being abused on the forums and chat rooms. The reality is that open source is a social endeavor. For some it's about showing everyone else how smart you are, but for the rest of us it's about working together with people who are intelligent, friendly, and fun to be with. If you are at a party and you come across a rude and offensive person, you turn away and find another group to chat with. I don't know Linus, and the only thing I've seen is that Google talk he gave on git, but if he's like that in real life, and if Linux was a dinner party, the only people standing beside Linus would be the ones who want to be seen with Linus.
