This is old news - software that finds faces has been available for years. To cite an older example, the company Miros, which later became TrueFace - they used a neural-net approach.
At first glance, I thought they were using an ion drive, or something - classic design for such a thing is to have a giant "sail" at the back, powered by the "wind" generated by an ion drive... slow at first, then gets very fast.
Though I'm sure Linux Torvalds is SCO scared he's crying in Corn Pops, the fact that SCO is actually finding potential basis for more damage is worrying - this doesn't help IBM's market value, and may further discourage other corporations from seriously investing in Linus.
I won't say where or whom, but there are some virus writers that work for major software corporations - not for writing AV software, but rather to put out viruses to punish software pirates. If Joe Blow stops worrying about viruses, after all, there's going to be a lot more 'liberated' software floating around.
Anyways, I have to glean my premises from the content of the post.
This does not seem a very impressive acheivement to me - simply bring a digital camera, and a GPS with enough marker memory. Then feed the results into your friendly neighborhood PHP engine upon returning to your domicile.
The point of my above post was that there's always a more smelly fish - that there's always a worse job. I know people who design cars and complain about it, though - so I thought I should speak up.
Let me tell you something: if you think you have the worst job, there's always a more dire one.
I had a job where I was supposed to engineer "smart" plumbing fixtures - keeping water temperature right, measuring turd/bowl ratio, etc. It paid the bills, but it was boring as hell - and always got blank looks at the local SCA meets.
When the tech boom subsided, I lost the job. I wasn't too worked up about it. I found another job quickly, but little did I know it would turn out to be even worse. It was similar to the above position (experience always helps when applying), but, as I found out upon showing up on day one, I was to be engineering urinals. I fear parties, for people inevitably ask me what I do. Ten years of higher education for this, and people piss on my designs!
So, don't complain about your job. At least your products aren't full of piss.

I saw this in a Nissan lab 10 years ago.
Took an SGI to run it, back then...
2, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? Linus! Linus!

Fans do no good, if there is no air.

If you had to do TCP/IP over morse code, you'd make a few mistakes, too.

Somehow, I have a feeling the online copy will not spell nearly as much doom as my hardcover edition for the roaches that plague my humble domicile.
Yeah, it's lucky my frontload drive loads horizontally - I'd end up cramming a waffle in there at 6 am.
Just a bunch of small pictures of the PCB's, etc. I can't see any of the interesting bits - i.e., the part numbers of the IC's.
Well, now I know the connectors glow blue. That's rather neat.
Seriously. Is it really spam-related?
...but it belongs to Audiogalaxy.
I tried to upgrade my VCR as per the instructions, but it didn't work. Can somebody help me?
I think Lessig would be an excellent choice. But maybe Katz is a better LCD... -- Geoffd1
