I tried the http://www.myheritage.com/ site to do the funny who you look like example. I used two face photos one (3.2 MP) with the ocean behind me and one in a park (6MP). It couldn't find a face in either photo. If this is the best this technology has to offer we are many years away from anything real. I know the US government is using this stuff, but they are still looking for WMDs in Iraq if my experience is typical with the same results.
I think technically 911 isn't that hard, just a few hoops to jump through. Politically it is crazy your local service has been ripping you off for a buck or more every month for several years now to pay for 911. You have paid for it several times over and now they believe they own it and should get paid for 911 all over because other people want access to it. Just ask anyone at OnStar they already have your GPS location but sometimes have to look in a data base to find the 911 nearest you. They should be suing the baby Bells that think they own everything.
My two cents.
Best regards, Rich Yeah Jesus was a liberal too, what's your point.
Not true or at least it wasn't true. I worked for IBM Global Networks for three years (1996-1999) and our group had 12 people and at least half of us ran Linux on intel as our desktop OS. We had IBM token-ring cards in our machines for network access. We supported the then ibm.net, those servers where running AIX (developed pre-Linux). This lasted until we where sold to AT&T, then Linux was kicked out as desktop OS. I found a new job after that.
Just my two cents....
Best regards,
