I had this toy in my Lenovo laptop a few months ago. Thing is, it is an additional way to log in besides just, you know, typing in a password-- so, it's an additional security hole. You could log on in two different ways, one of them just involving showing your face. The software tries to avoid being fooled by static photos, by looking for a little movement-- so jiggle that picture a little.
It's a kind of sexy idea. It's like the idea of a flying car, it seems charming, but... in practice, it's just not very sensible. How hard is it to type in an eight-character password? That's fast and functional. It works. I deleted the picture log-on software the day I got the laptop.
You respect the troops for murdering random people for the glory of our politicians?
Fuck you, sir. Flying fuck you through the hole of a rolling donut. You are a vicious and thoughtless swine.
This was ranked +5 insightful? Oh, Slashdot, how far you have fallen.
If pornography is a virus, you can infect me all day long. I'm damned if I expect to see any difference in my behavior. Sex isn't a bug, it's a feature.
It's evolution in that it's become a very much more serious predator due to competitive pressure over time. That's how it goes.
The only question I feel I need to ask about "Intelligent Design" is, if intelligence is something that needs to be designed, who created the designer?
If you consider Teddy Roosevelt a member of the set of sane people, I would like to invite you to my happy friendly people center. It has padded walls, for your convenience.
The man was completely rabid. There's a reason the Bull Moose Party isn't in the top ten any more.
XP, of course. Windows is still the One Big Commercial Marketplace. It is an advantage to know, and a disadvantage not to. It runs the world's software from games to big business, from COBOL to Ruby on Rails, from free to MacLockdown. Run with that puppy.
$5,000-$10,000 per exploit, tax-free? This seems like nothing to you? Man... I think you need to get out of your parents' basement more often. Start slowly, or you're going to wind up with an ear-to-ear grin in an alleyway, minus your iPhone and Nikes.

Oh, ChIT. I can see how that might be a problem.
It's both incredibly cool, and unbelievably stupid. I love it. But they can't possibly make this monstrosity sell at a reasonable price.
Oh fer gosh sakes. It doesn't need to be plugged in. It's solar-powered.
