I wonder how long are the martians going to keep feeding us this data. They should be tired of this joke by now.

Not all WoW players are american, you insensite clod :P Now on a more serious note. $25k-39k is very low for US, but is a mean over lots and lots of other countries. It might be low for you, but $25k-$39k is quite high in some parts of Europe.

It's funny when you see it boot up if it previously had a failure or lost power. I never saw Win XP ATMs, but I saw lots of WinNT/Win2k ATMs. And yeah, I'm living in Eastern Europe.

First of all I don't think they can do face recognition(i. e. this guy is Johnny), the are probably only doing face detection(i. e. this rectangle contains a face). To recognize faces they would need a database of training data which contains several images for each face(more images -> better recognition), which I expect they don't have yet. Commercial face recognition is no where near 1% false positive, it's more like 5-10% in extremely favorable cases. It's important to note here we're not talking about a controlled environment like an access point where a person is filmed and his face is recognized in a controlled light, face tilt, etc. Also, trying to decrease false negatives(i. e. face not associated with a name) will increase the rate of false positives and vice versa. For such a system, it's important to have a low false negative rate else it's useless. I work for a company that does image processing, including face detection/recognition.

From a purist point of view, it does matter and you should care. But what's the solution? This is the real question.

As other posters pointed out there can be 5 correct answers, with a proper distribution of votes. Your assumption is incorrect. Your proof yields false. Damn logic!
