As I recall, shortly after 9/11 security teams were telephotographically scanning all of the stadium attendees at games such as the Superbowl with multiple cameras during the progress of the game, looking for suspected terrorists, criminals, and such, matching against face databases. I believe there are a number of books on the topic. By the way, note that Google has a "labor-saving" approach to creating an improved image database: all of us have the opportunity to better tag the images (which means improved searchability). It would seem child's play today to automatically impose "standard" facial templates (consisting of hundreds of interconnected triangles) on their thousands/millions of photographic faces, create an ID database, and then someday provide a user input (uploading a photo) that can likewise be triangulated and matched against that database. Of course, one could always ask, why would Google ever do anything like that, unless it was a secret/hidden arm of some clandestine government agency? ;-) Harvey -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm

Or scan in a more detailed picture.
Anyway I think it is a great idea to have J books available in printed
versions.
I have not got one yet so I do not know if there is a CD or DVD together
with it but that might be good too.
Unfortunately I am pretty sure that there is not enough market for a printed
copy of the Íslandish version yet.
It is available in PDF form at

RE: [Jgeneral] J for C Programmers available in book form
I liked that shape, because it's not too tall for a normal shelf, yet it's wide enough that all the coding examples work without line wrap. The binding and cover seem first-quality, too. The paper isn't pure white but it's acceptable. As Joey said, a real book has its advantages. For one thing, the index works; but mostly I think it's easier to read paper than a CRT. All in all, I thought lulu.com did a fabulous job. I've just learned that it's a local (Raleigh, NC) company - same guy who started Red Hat.

Re: [Jgeneral] J for C Programmers available in book form
Henry - my belated kudos as well - I got my copies on Saturday. It looks great. The end result was quite good and fairly priced but the Lulu service was a little flaky: I got three e-mails from them - one each on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - telling me that my order had just shipped. The latter two had those days' dates but the first one told me it had been shipped on "31 December 1969" - which looks like Unix time 0. The other thing is that I was happy to be offered a US Postal Service shipping option - too many on-line businesses disdain this but it's cheaper and much more convenient for me than the private shippers as the USPS will hold it for me in the post office across the street, instead of some place far downtown, if they can't deliver it during the work-week. I look forward to settling down with the book one evening soon.
