I was just thinking about this. Let me tell a long story. I'm a network guy and kind of known as a PC/Server guy. I get asked a lot of questions that take me about 10 minutes with Google to find answers to. Now I'll date myself when I was in debate in High School we used to spend hours at the local Uni digging through their stacks to find information and stuff to build debate cases with. This was both fun and I learned a lot about research. I think this accounts for why I can find answers on the web that some of the kids I work with who never really had to do research without computers can not.
Kind of like once you learn math without a calculator you can then do amazing things very quickly when given the tool. But if you never learn math without the calculator you are stuck being able to not do any of those really amazing things the tool can help you do.
That would pretty much be my point. The people who are claiming they can scan and then match faces to particular people. How the hell do we know that they can even pick out a face. Or in your point a real face.
and therein lies the rub how do we know that if we give some of those other systems a picture of bacon and eggs arranged in some vague face type config that it won't tell us that it is Osama. Keep in mind the only data we have on most of those systems are what the people trying to sell them are telling us. Me I have my doubts that they have ever been tested to see if they can even identify a face.
You are right about how easy it is make a fake Quadro. To answwer your question I was PTC tech support for a long time. When you are really doing high end design work the differnces are small but important. Also when a seat of Pro/Engineer costs more than the hardware skimping on hardware is not a smart thing and the smart companies don't.
But if you are doing CAD odds are you are buying a Quadro and not one of these cards and the Quadros tend to be more than the gamer cards and to answer your question no the gamer cards do *not* work just as well.
no because you have to understand that in Japan people are better, faster, and smarter than we are here. And all the 30 year old guys who live in their parents basement wear hello kitty t shirts and are really smart and better than us.
All of these Japophiles should be forced to spend 3 years in Asia. Then they will understand that many many things are just like they are here.
BTW I spent the time in Korea with many side trips to Japan. I love both countries but they are not superior or inferior in any way just different in some and the same in others.
I'll answer it. Sure any normal citizen could do that. Once more I have no problem with that then I would with a cop setting on the corner and doing the same thing. Less even since there is not much a private citizen can do about it. Keep in mind that this is a government and so if you live, work, or even just pass through that town and they decide that you need to "do business" with them you don't really have any choice. OTOH if it is a private citizen you can tell them to fuck off and die and go about what you want to do. The point is by putting an unblinking eye in the hands of the government you dramatically increase the chance of abuse. They know have the ability to check who was on that road at any time. Say for example the abused wife of a cop is trying to get away. Well with this he has one more tool to track her down. Say a given cop did not like you. Just one more tool to be used to make your life hell. And when the mob cracks the database and learns that a given armored car goes by everyday at the same time...
The point is you can not give me one example in the world where a country that has official observers and cameras in public has been a better/safer place to live than in the US. So why are we throwing that track record away to make a few old assholes feel better? There is no logical reason and a whole host of reasons we should not.
Becuase a cop looking for people does not leave a permanent record of it. So yes by installing a unblinking eye that creates a permanent record of who drove by it is a very large loss pr privacy.
Another way of explaining it is you go from a person who has limited ability to observe things and so in practice has to have some reason other than the fact that you drove by to look up your license plate number and compare it to things to a device that will look up every single license plate that drives by. This is a bad thing.
I was at the U of U about 15 years ago. Pons and Fleischman worked for the Chem dept. I took quite a few physics courses and basically all the physics profs thought they were nuts. And no they could not reproduce the results. They were sore of let go.
Why would they lose? I just don't get why AXA or any other company would think that a search on any search enginge should throw up their company or under what law it would be expected that it would and that the search engine would be libable if it did not. Please explain
I just finished reading "March to the Stars" BTW John Ringo is *great*. There is a bit in ther about the perfect evil mastermind. Someone who you know is already dead so you can keep chasing him for decades. My thought Osama is so very dead but we will not find him for a long time
