  3. And again... I need a faster pc... on Photoshop CS Adds Banknote Image Detection, Blocking? · · Score: 1

    Great... I found PS CS was pretty slow on my 3Ghz pc, now I know why... it has been identifying my illegal scans of banknotes.

    q: Is this problem solved if I use an illegal version of PS CS then?

    Now all we need is a new version of Windows Media Player that checks all cd's and mp3's I have:

    playing them backwards might find the RIAA saying "THIS IS AN ILLIGAL COPY. COPYING IS BAD"

    stop feeding cows at all... problem solves itself.

  10. Re:hypeof(RFID) == hepeof(XML) on Using RFID To Prevent Mad Cow Disease · · Score: 1

    I would say: bullsh!t...

    RFID is NOT the key! the administration of identification throughout the foodchain is. You need to tag cows, but feedings. etc too. Then you would be able to predict wether a cow or hamburger could have BSE or not. Identification of cows is already in place in a lot of countries... US is lagging here.

  11. erm... How do other countries do this?... on Using RFID To Prevent Mad Cow Disease · · Score: 1

    Well, I think in Holland we have this great system of tagging all cows using earmarks...

    It was in place a few years before our mad cow scares started. Not that it helped.

    However cows over here are identified unique due to this system.

    So yes, RFIDing cows might help the US but it's not only about tagging! The administration system behind it is MUCH MUCH more important than the RFID tag... RFID is just for identifying the cow but knowing what it has been fed and where it came from and what it is produced in is more important. You do not solve that with RFID (or any ID).

    I can remember numerous occasions where I did not lock my phone... and it concequently dailed some numbers because of me having the thing in my pocket...

    HAHAHA... your president would not attack the moon!:

    1) there is no oil.

    2) attacking Mars is better, since the moon men have a relationship to mars and mars is known to threaten the US. See all the videoproof on Marvin the Martian... he's real violent!
