And Europeans know very well about slavery and exploitation. They were the masters of it at the time.

As an Argentinian (if you know our recent history): No, people tolerate everything. People don't "uprise" spontaneously. People don't go out and protest.

They don't.

I've learned that ALL protests are organized by someone with a political motivation. Nothing more.

We're in a situation worse than what we were in 2001. And people just carry on with their lives every day. Humans are tame criatures, they will take absolutely everything and accept it. Look at the life in the Middle East for example. Iran, once a westernized, modern country, taken back to the middle ages by the muslims. And people didn't protest.
The Khmer Rouge killing everything and everyone. People didn't protest.
You'll see people oppressed all over the world. In third world nations, and in the US too. And guess what? People don't do anything. The ones in power take it all.

That's outrageous. You should ask TunnelBroker for a full refund.

Not checksumming or hashing. It's called "feature extraction". I know about it. I made a video about a little software I made based on OpenCV which is able to identify a picture I show it, through my webcam, among 20,000 pictures stored in my computer. It's the only video in my youtube channel that actually has views.
Anyway, once you have the features, you can analyze an image and see if it contains any part of any of the images in your database. It doesn't matter if it's slighlty blurred, partially covered, rotated, and it doesn't matter if it takes the whole screen or just a fraction. In my demo I show how my program recognizes Magic: The Gathering cards in my hand (which is much more difficult than recognizing poker cards).
Oh, and it does this at several matches per second on a Core 2 duo class machine.

They are in everything that has to do with mobile technology. Want to boycott them? You have to go completely offline.

How many rooms? If the PRI is T1 and there are 24 rooms he is, technically, providing a dedicated line to each room. It's exploitation of the law, but technically he is correct.

hehe watch the TV series "silicon valley" by HBO.

Easy there, union guy.

I said I agreed with the previous post. I'm not anti union. And I'm extremely critical of the government (I'm not american, if that matters).

But unions ARE corrupt, and they are as corrupt as the government. The ideals of unions are good. The problem is: they become giant and extort money from the company.

Here in Argentina the truck drivers union is preparing for a 2-day strike, demanding a 40% raise (after a 30% raise not even a couple months ago). Truck drivers are making more money than many professions (doctors and engineers for example). A truck driver doesn't spend 10 years of his life in college, yet he makes more money than a doctor here, thanks to the "truck drivers union" which paralyzes the country whenever it wants something. That's sheer corruption right there. In fact, that's the reason unions existed in the first place: to protect the "little guy" from the big guy. Except they're the big guy here, and they act like it.

While i agree with you in general, you have a very romanticized view of unions.

They are ALL as corrupt as the government. Don't be a fool.

No. Most people won't.

Especially slashdot commenters. I received a lot of hate from peasants here, when talking about QoS network control packets (ICMP), claming all ISPs should have 100% dedicated bandwidth for each residential client. "If they need to QoS stuff, their are cheap bastards who don't want to buy more bandwidth"

it was probably tested at 10cm...

I've read numerous technical documents to get an understanding of engineering, as well as the [insert your speciality code here] itself; there is absolutely no reason that one needs to be an engineer.

You're not a lawyer, Bill_The_Engineer. So don't play one, and don't pretend you know how the law works.
