The reason the laptop got infected WAS because it was locked down. THAT WAS A COMPANY notebook!
.
Now, having to use my work computers gets annying. THe admins will lock some software down for NO REASON, JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. Even when attending GSU (Georgia State University) Some of the library computers were similarly locked prohibiting legitimate uses. Other campuses like Georga Tech (where I transfered, now a happy camper) have a very liberal policy applied. Haven't had any problems with viruses worms etc.
Are we implying that slashdot readers will have a higher number of schizophrenia symptoms?
I would not expect the rate to be higher than... let's say car mechanics...
I didn't know that open source was used on papyrus and ink
but really,,, unless you are using south africa,... the rest of the african territory has no computers.
Only to recognize where faces are...but good

The problem is that even if you can recognize where this 80 pixel face is, it will be very hard to match it up against features of known people. Several [automated] face recognition systems implemented in Florida failed. In more than 3? months they failed to identify a single known offender.
They should be looking at other ways to make use of the Hafnium, like... How can it be used to halfen the boot load of xp?
If we place one of those devices in a microsoft building... will we make the employees more productive?
On other unrelated news. Al Qaida recruiters, who are in need for Skilled Engineers who dislike the American government and big American corporations have turned to Slashdot as a primary source for recruits.
A modest proposal:
Instead of just posting an article every time a Wired Article comes out, slashdot should just made a special section feeding everything from Wired.

perhaps it's a move toward their plans to make harware free*
On the positive side... it beats playing solitaire.

The algorithm only recognizes where the face is. It does NOT recognize the face to match it with another picture.s ers/2236.html
The algorithm is almost scary, watch this sample

It fails in the most important thing: IT doesnt' tell you if the subject is at least 18 years old!
This is great! The only thing left, is for them to figure out how I'm going to PAY for office separately!
