This sounds like fun. Add a Raspberry Pi, a web cam, and openCV, and you have a pretty nice playground. -steve On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 2:43 PM, Anthony Di Franco <di.franco(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote: -- -steve _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss

Totally... It's not like the Highlander movies. On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 11:59 PM, Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote: -- Cheers, Rusty Lindgren

i disagree with this sentiment 100% it's much easier to get a project moving if someone has already tried and documented a similar project. what's the harm in looking? we all stand on the shoulders of giants - seeing a run through of how someone has already completed the basic steps of a project that may use some of the same principles and learning from the mistakes/efforts of others frees your limited time up for additional awesomeness in the design, and can help avoid late-night-almost-finished-but-still-fruitlessly-debugging, sanity-destroying-once-you-realize-how-much-time-you-just-wasted pitfalls.

YOs- This is a perfect illustration of diversity in subjectivity. What works for each of us may be the same as or different to what works for others. When we look at another person's project we might feel... ...excited to duplicate it. ...depressed that someone else thought of it first. ...inspired to do something different. ...inspired to do something better. And most of us have all of these reactions at various times: depending on the project, how difficult it is, how much new learning is involved, whether it might help us earn our livings or create right-livelihood jobs for ourselves and others, whether it's something for work, play, learning, socializing, etc., whether it facilitates creative expression or scientific discovery, what kind of technology it uses, etc. -G. ====== On 13-05-15-Wed 4:19 PM, Romy Snowyla wrote:
