The movie has hairy, disgusting trolls.
I think it's clear you went to the midnight showing...
Maybe they're measuring the acceleration of it's floating point operations!
Bro, do you even code.
The only thing you need is a butterfly, man.
You never know what you'll need. It pays to be prepared for all possible emergencies.
640cm is enough for anyone!
said perl, that's why I brainfuck around.
I C what you did there.
But there are still plenty of common applications that would be better of using 65w of electricity...
Such as heating water for coffee or cooking breakfast?
3k for a couple weeks of work? That sounds pretty fucking *horrible* to me, especially when you factor in the cost of development and test hardware, and ongoing support costs.
Assume it only took 2 weeks (it probably took much longer than this, as anybody who's ever done any significant commercial development is well aware) - that's $78,000 gross revenues for your *business* over the course of a year. Factor in dev/test hardware, dev time, ancillary operating costs (office, lights, electricity, business insurance, etc. etc.), and you're looking at significantly less than $78k per year as "actual" income. Then, whack off another 25-30% for taxes (remember, you'll owe SS, Medicare, and Federal/State Income Tax when DBA "you, inc." - not just your marginal rate you pay as a W2 employee of some other company.)
No, 3000 for "a couple weeks of work" sounds pretty much like a recipe for being (and staying) poor. It's a hobby, not a business.
Lots of people enjoy programming in their free time. Getting paid $3,000 for doing something I love doing sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Why don't you use Pandoras?

They have great battery life, are very hacker-friendly, and great audio.
Or he could even go with any Android tablet he wants. Don't like the music app available? Write your own. You could even get a Bluetooth remote for it.
A simpler solution is to verify if the image has slightly alterations over time, or to require that the person to blink or do any other thing.
If it is just looking for random variances in the face all you need to do now is video tape the person and play it back on your laptop or iPad in front of the camera.
It takes me about 5 minutes to roll out of bed and be in class.
Alright, you've got me. What's your site?
I work at a college and we do no filtering of any kind due to academic freedom.
High school is not college. College students are adults fully responsible for their own behavior. High school students are legally children, and giving them access to things their parents don't approve of is not only going to cause administrative problems, but may even be illegal in some cases.
What if their parents don't approve of their child having access to a filtered internet?
Really, and you seem to think privacy is not associated with life, liberty, happiness?
How about I release your credit card numbers? your SSN?
Make public personal information?
You think that does not affect your life, your freedom, nor your happiness?
I think your crazy if you think not.
to be fair your SSN is only 9 digits long, and only contains only numbers. overall, it's not very secure.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
