Because - to the best of my understanding, and I'm open to correction - Facebook is effectively compiling data on your image that would permit you to be recognised by any visual system. Meaning that an organisation or person with access to that database would be able to identify you from an anonymous photo. This is something which has been brought up for consideration in the UK as a national security initiative and rejected roundly as an intrusive Big Brother measure. And remember who this is telling you. I'm hardly a conspiracy theorist. As others have commented this is as much about consent as it is what is being done. This is intensive profiling with effects that could last your entire life. If some daft bimbo wants to sign up for it to save then 2 seconds typing then that's their choice. It shoud not have been activated as a default.

You can't please all the people... Mass market anything is going to compromise, not so much on quality, but on the extremes within that quality. So I think we're already witnessing a drive to make everything fast moving, with simple dynamics, and minimal requirement to delve into a storyline or understand characters. But equally hard action addicts are stuck in only a couple of franchises. We all have to share the same 'space' and consequently we're going to be like a student flatshare - bloody annoying.

Also, waiting for some damn advice on buying a mic so I can place an order for necessary stationery at the same time.

North Wales?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/face...criticised.html Not being a Facebook user I'm feeling unconscionably smug about this. Facebook has "quietly switched on" technology which studies the tagged images of you and profiles what you look like. Yet again I see a private company acting in a way which would be unconstitutional in many liberal democracies. I've never been in Facebook directly. If you are, you need to either complain or just pack up and leave.

The tic in my left eye has started up again.

I can't imagine this being worth a fraction of the effort. Seriously. Just use the editor in the FO NV engine. Or have I missed something?

For the record, I'd go for Angelina Jolie, but invest some cash in a capacitor DEMP to negate the evidence. Be a little creative, Drowsy, or you'll never get what you want in this life!

Being not entirely flush with cash I thought I should opt for one microphone to handle both gaming in things like Left 4 Dead, and my amateur but improving singing. My present thinking is a desktop located normal singing mic, for about 20 quid. A 'certain' website has many of these which receive solid customer reviews. I guess my immediate concern is what jack sizes I'm dealing with. In the pictures they look normal guitar amp sized coming from the mic, but my PC doesn't have anything like that. What translator jacks will I need? Also, in general, thoughts on this?

Correction: message should read "make her your own". Original implies some sort of Frankenstein effort.

Much as I hate to say it, but I wouldn't let yourself get taped. From your point of view do you really want it getting popular and people recognising you at job interviews? From my point of view I don't want to shufti your shambala. If you like the girl just head on out there and make your own. Don't be satisfied with furniture status in someone else's relationship.

Is it a cool facial scar? Like a bad Nazi would have? Then you could twitch every time you saw a veggie eating an apple-sweetened dish.

What about repetitive strain injury from writing complex equations?

Bad idea for the day: extract revenge on your boss by plotting an inappropriate omantic entanglement for her.

Well, no because again colonialism is like life support. A temporary measure at best. LOVING the metaphors today. The problem is that many hippies don't feel any appreciation for the State. The State is evil and wrong as is corporate enterprise. But you need a basic trust and faith and investment by individuals in the State - generated by the Stae doing nice stuff - to prevent civil unrest, banditry, and ensure civic duties are performed. While corporations are a good (if far from perfect) way to organise people and perform functions. Long term aid, that isn't oriented on enabling these two qualities of civic loyalty and corporate venture, actually undermines them. Because it relegates government to simply raising taxes and pushing people around, and private industry to doing things people don't reallly need, and probably don't know how to do. And before anyone attacks me I've probably done more volunteer work than you have, so you should probably shut up. EDIT: I should have said "Attacks me as a miserly old grump." You are of course still free to attack me as a fat pompous windbag.

What kind of ****ing halfwit would put you in an office with your romantic ex?

And boy are you welcome to it. *bdum tish*

Did 40 ascents of hill stamping today. This equates to roughly 5600 ft, and certainly more than Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, which stands at 4,400 ft! Who'd have thought that just a year ago I'd have been basically chairbound? Also, while climbing tackled business problem in my head. Yeah baby, yeah!

Demanding "harsher penalties" is a typical populist attitude, no matter where the bar is set. The public perception will always err on the side of thinking that the system lets people off too easy. However, I've actually served in the system, and my opinions are based on actual knowledge of what happens, and not just the newspapers and their attempts to create fear. Or, to actually make a point and not just rant, our system has slowly become the most lenient in Europe, and Green do-gooders keep shutting down prisons and creating artificial systems for cutting down the sentences given in the name of "savings". (first time in prison, non-juvenile, serve half of given, already generally rather short sentence, repeat offender 2/3s, become first-timer again after a couple of years etc.) People given life sentences, known to be dangerous, are released and then execute three people at the McDonalds drive-in within a month or two... and so on. Interesting, but my rather ham fisted intention was to illuminate dynamics in the way we approach complexity in decision making. In this instance the Germans seem to be exclusively second order complex.

I'm still not convinced. Although you've kept your temper, so points for that.

China might well want to see the situation resolved, as they are heavily dependant on oi limports from the Gulf. Much surplus tanker tanker traffic, and even some chartered traffic has switched between the Far East and Europe thanks to disruption in Libyan exports. But I don't see them wanting to control the country, since transporting from there would be very complex and inefficient. Much better for them to plough into somewhere like Yemen, and establish a dominant interest there. Safeguard their oil transit. Russia doesn't have to do anything in Libya besides let us **** it sideways, and they reap the reward in the form of increased oil and gas prices.

And that is why in spite of our arguments I still rate Krez

I must have missed a meeting. I wasn't aware that genocide which failed to annihilate the target population wasn't genocide. My sincere apologies.

Maybe because we read the OP? Being a medical assistant is precisely the kind of skill which locals should be learning and could be learning. $1000 would go a long way to training someone local who could do that for life, not just a few weeks.

OK. My question would be: 1. If adapting it is such a simple task, why don't fans do it? 2. If it is actually quite a complex task, then what could those assets be doing instead?
