This is a typical slashdot comment. Uninformed, belittles others work. Symmetry might work in some pictures. It might not work in others. Besides, the feature extraction needed to establish symmetry is non trivial (its the same as what the author of the paper does). If this was so trivial, why didn't you build a system like this. The world belongs to the doers, not the "Ah, I told you so" crowd.

Senators Renew Call for .XXX Domain 489

Posted by Zonk on Friday March 17, 2006 @11:20PM from the subject-they're-familiar-with dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's an election year again, and the usual PR causes are being picked up. Senators are once again pushing for a .XXX top-level domain to 'corral pornography'." From the article: "The bill suggests, but does not require, that .xxx serve as the domain name ending. Any commercial Internet site or online service that "has as its principal or primary business the making available of material that is harmful to minors" would be required to move its site to that domain. Failure to comply with those requirements would result in civil penalties as determined by the Commerce Department. It's unclear whether the measure will go very far. First of all, it could be struck down as unconstitutional, said Marv Johnson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "
