I've been wanting to write an open sourced image search engine for a long time, I guess that now I can just try to join the google team.
One idea that I had was to use optical character recognition (like many scanners do) to pull out possible words... much like the portrayal of Neo when he was searching for Morpheus.
This is a technology that can widely expand the usefulness of searching tools, but can also invade people's privacy. Let's say that your local paper publishes your photo... now anyone in the world can see what you look like.
Does this mean that they'll also remove their own "start" button? When I booted up my own copy, I got freaked out seeing a start button on my linux desktop.... uggh
So many people have already come to accept that there is a new government dawning that I don't think there's any way to stop it.
Sure there is... when you go out to purchase something, remember that you're really voting with your wallet.
When you choose a political candidate, what process do you go through first? Consider their beleifs, their positions, their record, try to extrapolate over time whether they're poised to fuck you over, or help you out. Then you vote.
We need to be doing the same thing with products in the commercial markerplace. Instead of simply doing a price comparison (evil company and nice company sell the same product, evil company charges $2 less) don't go with the evil company. Do a little background research and find out which companies are screwing over consumers, their workers, the environment (which really means everyone including themselves).

Ouch.... late night? I can understand, I get that way sometimes too.
FYI - it's noticeable, as in "did you notice a difference?" This, as well as many other fine words can be found using our dear friend "grep" in/usr/dict/words
A house has a function: to give you a place to live. An encryption algorithim also has a function: to protect IP. Just as it is wrong to destroy your home with a wrecking ball (defeating the function of the house), is it not wrong to defeat the purpose of the algorithim?
That depends on how well thought-out your method of protection is. Imagine if someone were to put a screen door on a submarine, then submegered. Who is at fault here - the water for breaking through the door? or the dumbass who fullfilled the cliché?
I also found it interesting how the second half of the show talked
about cussing in the workplace, so I did a quick grep on the 2.4.3 source code, and found these results:
Perhaps the game has changed under your nose, and you haven't even noticed. Perhaps the game has turned into "who can be the best hacker" instead of "who can be the best fragger". If you want hot fragging action, then play Q2 or Q3... that's what they're out there for.
When they released the source to Quake, they opened the doors to gaming challenges of the future, namely - who can write a better AI, whose bot will emerge victorious. Since this doesn't rely upon fast-twitch skills, but real coding prowsess... as a geek, how can you complain?
Maybe those of us with the experiance should offer to do some pro-bono work for those schools (or other non-profit/low-profit orginizations) that could use our expertise?
Perhaps the government could make it worth our while.... by hmm - offering a nice tax break for our time spent helping out the local school system.
I can't very well go to court and say "You are stealing my property and costing me money" and thus sue for money lost
Nope, you wouldn't have necessarily lost money, but perhaps that party gained money from your work without following the license. So this is similar to the RIAA's complaints that you haven't necessarily emptied a record store of it's inventory, but by duplicating copyrighted material that they lose on sales. Your corollary would be that they worked with your code, and didn't pay you back by releasing their changes.
I could see suing for a fair chunk of their revenue from that product, and forcing them to releasing their changes to the code.
This is fascinating - from both an artistic and a geeky point of view.
From his photo "Storage Facilities for Hay" in the architecture section, you can start to pick apart the process that he used... By knowing the simple fact that smoke/steam rises, and examining the clouds - you can see rainbow-like effects.
What this really shows is that not all 3 layers of exposure glass (film) were not taken at precisely the same moment. In fact, it's backwards of how we even refer to color... it's most clearly Blue, Green, Red.
Well, that statement is incorrect in all cases except where party (A) is a homo sapiens.
Hmm - this is one of the basic reasons why I became a vegetarian. I don't take my higher intelligence and dexterity for granted, I appreciate them, and feel that other animals are my brothers, and choose not to keep them locked in a warehouse, unable to see the sun their entire lives.
If you go back far enough, you find the entire human race all descended from the same tribes, and if you go even futher, you find that all animal kingdoms descended from the same living beings.
Per Qui-Gon's statements about young Anakin having a high midichlorian count... I wonder if you could genetically modify your own race of jedi warriors...
A DOS attack of the Avian carrier. Clip their wings, perhaps?
I would picture a DOS as being where you send *armies* of your own pigeons to the secondary base camp to elbow out the legitimate pigeons from dropping their messages.
Perhaps a herd of cats invading the receiving base camp might deter packets from landing, and cause bad pings.
Hmm, seems to me that the ownership of a living being by another living being is referred to as "slavery". No matter what color, etc. this is still the same issue.
I would rather have R2-D2 mowing my lawn, such as one of these Mowbots
it appears as though they did this anaysis using the BeOS. It's good to see JLG's tech being used for what it was intended for, and I guess this is a dodge for the blame being placed on "that anarchic linux crowd" for cracking another flawed protection scheme.
So when I'm thumbing through my book, looking for a specific phrase, I have to algorithmically and frantically scan every page in the book. This also introduces the risk that my feeble organic eyes might actually miss the word.
I prefer using my browser's control-F "find" feature, or grep, or what have you to pick out the key word(s) of my current interest.
Yeah, I got Linux running on my PS/2 years ago... I don't see what the big deal here is. It's actually a pretty crappy server, and is only any good as a terminal.

Of course, they could always just ship Aqua for OpenBSD... ; )
just use dyndns.org yourself!
You sunk my battleship!

Glass Joe!
