If you want emphasize uncompromising efficiency go for Cheka
To point out massive participation and instill fear in the enemy use NKVD
For respectability and all-encompassing permeability use KGB
I recall the paper that states that painting transformed haar-like features on the face completely dumbfound common face detectors/recognizer(i.e.based on Viola-Jones) Of cause more robust algo could be developed, but I doubt in industry ability and willingness to research and deploy them in foreseeable future(and spend money on them). More easy is to ban face paint.

Prominent and widespread use of agents-provocateurs by Tsar police caused in return police be influenced and used by agents-provocateurs. That situation culminated in assassination of Minister of the Interior Plehve organized by police agents-provocateur Azef.Some historians think one of the reason of Plehve assassination was his inquiries into huge police spendings on agents-provocateurs.

To become "verified", a developer must contact Google personally and verify their identity, including full contact details (phone number, address, etc.)
Wouldn't work. Symbian OS tried that and failed so horribly that it's failure toppled Nokia. Hobby/part time/small developers wouldn't get certificate, so there will be a lot of legitimate but not "verified" apps. From the other hand scammers&spammers (who have some real money) will not have problem to register empty shell company in Russia/Azerbajan/**stan/India etc using some homeless person ID and get certificate.
To pot it simply one dimensional space can "mimic" higher dimensions. Consider rectangular 2D grid embedded in 2D (R^2). It has metric induced by 2D, and if the grid is dense it's metric very "close" to 2D, but it's still 1-dimentional - it's built from 1-dimentional x and y intervals. Of cause it's can not be continuously(and back) one-to-one tranformed to R1, but still grid id one-dimentional according to generalized definition of dimentions

for math articles. The problem is very common for consumer tech articles, or politics, or history and other "soft" sciences of cause. What you describe is very strange. I did quite substantial expansion for couple of (applied) math articles recently and had no problems at all. Wouldn't it be intrusive to ask what articles/subjects did you contribute to?
or "hot" topics. I had couple of times arguments about some WWII topics with people how read popular history books and consider them as final truth, even to detriment of common sense. That was frustrating and depressive. Another very negative experience was support of the article about promising new tech. That article is under nonstop attack from spammers, promoters and astroturfers, some of them very persistent. That is even more depressive. On the other hand articles on pure mathematical subjects are (almost) never spammed, any arguments are civil and productive, most of edits actually improve subjects and editors don't object reverts if they were pointed to be wrong. That was why I think it would be great to separate wikipedia in two parts - one is purely technical, without any connection to practical applications, for specialists and students, and another - garbage bin of all controversial, political and popular topics.
Libya scientific output will overtake US by 2015. I predict, by 2015 share of scientific papers published by country will be: China 17% Libya 15.7%% US 15% UK 5%
But that will happen only if Windows Phone 7 will overtake Apple's iPhone by 2015.
There are several definitions of dimensions for metric and topological spaces which are not R^n. For example mesh of lines(like one-dimentional simplicial complex) would be one-dimensional in most(all?) of them, and it's metric wouldn't be much different from 2 or 3 dimensional region, so in that case location wouldn't get mixed much
On my Asus U35jc under Ubuntu you have to turn off NVIDIA driver and use default if you want to avoid battery drain and crashes.The same for most of laptops with "hybrid graphics" under Linux
Show me your android java markerless tracker running at 15fps ans I believe you. At least video. About NDK - that was argument *for* the use of NDK, as opposite to java.
Specifically on Android (I diIdn't have latest Java experience on PC). Java adequate for non time critical games&buisness applications, but for heavy, real-time calculations, for example computer vision apps, Java just is not acceptable. Attempt to write Comp Vision app on Java make it unusable at all. Even thin java layer like copying data from camera make app unusable in real-time. The same goes for other heavy calc apps, like compressive sensing(started to be used in mobile medical app), speech recognition, etc.
If it would stop marching together with neonazy in protest marches. Armbands with slightly distorted swastikas among democracy defenders produce not a small cognitive dissonance. Google for such opposition figures as Limonov, Russian National Unity etc, and yes democratic opposition are not ashamed to block with them. Fierce defense of billionaire oil-barons like Khodorkovsky don't help opposition either.

Could be pretty interesting.
A surgeon will recommend to operate. A lawyer to do legal work. A soldier to kill ...this guy
I strongly object extrajudicial killings. Brain surgery looks like a human and compassionate way to deal with this guy.
It's proven, it's developing and has no legacy dragging it back.
"California is testing a new method for apprehending criminals: beating them" - that's what I read. Have to be careful with such headlines...
That is in luring user to click on something that looks like result user want. User may have other opinion.

What's this thing with regular promotion of bitcoins on /.? Shouldn't it be in advertising box or something?
One is Z' boson, another is technicolor model.Can some physicist explain, are they the same/related or not?

PrimeSense/KInect tech is scalable. With different camera lens and different lens for laser it can work in range suitable for PC/Laptop or smartphone.
Owner of technology is is PrimeSense
But books can.
simulating everything?
