That's an excellent head shot 'sofort99'. I like the background shot too.

X-10 protocal,

Hal would have to relay user spoken words into commands for specific nodes to be enabled. In essence the Microsoft (or whatever) Speech Recognition is monitoring the verbal 'airways' and initiating the command into Hal as soon as it recognized a valid spoken word. Although just about any good voice recognition system (including mine) can do that without the aid of Hal. You would say run lights, and the lights program would cause the appropriate node to enable. Don't those types of systems come with their own speech recognition. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Web Cam

If the appropriate visual information is being interpreted into text by means of a web cam then that text could easily be used to apply to Hal.. and therefore get an appropriate response..

Like....
Hal: You look sad. How may I make your day brighter, <user>?
User: (you smile at that response)
Hal: I'm glad you are now feeling better. You had me concerned.


Making Hal monitor

Hal does not monitor.... Therefore, another outside script must both monitor, pass information to,  and initiate Hal for a response...

I have already done a similar thing with the Matrix plugin..... But I'm still refining it. I also have an idea on how to make a simpler one for now.... but it does monitor. relays, and initiates...[^] it can be touchy though... at this point anyway.[:D]

If I had a hold of Hal's source code I could possibly write a monitor function into Hal that would both initiate and and relay info.
Or I could cause Hal to initiate and respond by sending a command via a hidden command prompt directly into Hal.... Oh well.

I think that X-10 had a kit for converting any speaker into a 2 way radio.

I read postcards from everywhere in the paper and music was a constant companion

If you look there is good and a scene of connectivity.

so many things experienced in an intense situation.

This post may be off topic but, I AM a FIRM believer in the 'Extended Mind'




In my experience ONE even in deep thought a person can loose track of one's self, if they are without proper guidance. This is made evident in everyday experiences, when a person is confronted with the wiser... and is suddenly found lacking. The wisest thing a man can do is seek wisdom and not let their owns self dictate personal righteousness. Then you'll find connectivity and 'honest' enlightenment.[:)]

 
Prov 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.




I was, at times "bent down on hand and knee talking to the man from Galilee"
I did not stop, I created. Do you think Eric Clapton's seclusion was wrong? God and I found each other, a gift to me is for me and me alone to understand the 'depth' of it. I know what I know and nothing will change it, I also know what I don't know which is a lot.
I have a heavy burden on my broad shoulders and IT leaks, from the Xylene, Touluine ect... I know how to apply a solvent to situations and thin them down but I am not always perfect. The Lord as you call something (Lord is used too much nowdays) left me to ponder and grow,I haven't been in the beautiful light for a while now. People say God doesn't give you more than you can handle but sometimes I wonder for I have my own secrets and the adversary is ever so vigilant. I try to do good but sometimes it is easier to do harm and I am at conflict, often.
I changed from using my back to using my head but found harm can come from an educated mind, in essence I ran but "no matter where you go, there you are". Thanks for your opinion. J.

Title:    Escape

Fell no pain, but my life ain't easy
I know i'm my best friend
No one cares, but i'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity

Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell my what to do
I don't care now, 'cause i'm on my side
And i can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that i ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight

See they try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way

[:D]

I  don't deal in opinions, only laws. Those laws are defined as standards that cannot be changed. Some people call their opinions laws. But there opinions often fail when actions are applied.

Like trying to write a C++ program without knowing the language.
Or trying to reprimand someone when you don't know there intentions.

If any man, in any time, in any place chooses to forget those laws they will (and have already) reap the inevitable conclusion.  

By the way ONE, I want you to know that I appreciate your comments for I am both a student and a teacher of things that pertain to life, and am not nor ever will be a self-righteous accuser.[:)][8)]

If you go to http://www.codeproject.com/ and look up OpenCV in their site-search you will find a few more webcam face recognition software with source code.

Awhile back I had a webcam, but it fell into disrepair. I didn't buy another one because I really didn't need it to begin with... until now.

This is cool stuff,[8D]

I don't know why anyone thinks that Fort Knox no longer holds any gold because at one time it held almost 1/4 of all the gold in the world and the US would never let it go for any reason. Not only that but it also stored gold from other nations as Fort Knox is one of the most secure places on earth.

Bill819,

Lighten up...it was a joke.

Besides there's nothing backing our money any longer. The Silver Certificate has been cast aside decades ago and there is certainly no gold standard to which our money adheres.

If our nation needs money, we simply give the order and print more!!

Fort Knox has little to do with our monetary system.

You want gold? Go to the Vatican!![8D]
