Only if it didn't have to be a driver's license style shot. I prefer not to help facial recognition software. Take away the computerized privacy implications, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Oh dear, what happened to your avatar? The original was cute, the current one (don't get me wrong, it's unique!) looks full of rage like you're going to run down a hall and stab everyone in the ear with a mechanical pencil. :biggrin:

And 10-4 on the facial recognition stuff. That could be an issue I suppose for some folks. :(

It already IS me. True, the DNA branch, of ONLY one cell of my face, is showing. But it is still me.

In answer to the OP, NO. But maybe.

Anolis equestris?

Hey everyone, we have a lizard posting on ATOT!

It's a miracle! :biggrin:

It's more reflective of what I look like in real life. :D

I changed it because I was in a whimsical mood at the time. I'll change it back eventually, like I usually do.

Really? I thought your suspenders were stuck and you could not drop your trousers and have a serious case of (outbound) number two. D:
If you look closely you will see I am holding a pot full of mashed potatoes!

Is there such a thing as inbound number two? :D

You got me there. Yes, you have seen me on Dr Who. Human/Lizard cross-breed. We actually used one of your older posts, to generate the 1,000,000 million volt sparks, to trans-mogify the DNA lizard/human mixture.
We secretly got additional help from you, by posing as secret passengers, on one of "your" ships.

You spotted us (your were too smart). So we had to memory-erase drug you, into forgetting about it. Unfortunately, it stopped you posting for a year or two. I hope nobody noticed.
When you awoke, all the lights dimmed. They don't call you sparks for nothing.

Nope. There is something beautiful about anonymous people helping complete strangers online. It's the reason I love forums and continue to help when I can.

Google, Facebook and I'm sure others use facial recognition.

That's why facebook wants you to tag your "friends" in photos. You're teaching the machine.
Yes and everyone in my family has the facebook app on their phone and they want to take a pic so they see who is calling. Considering the amount of permissions the app has I wouldn't doubt the pic, name and other data are sent back to FB. I'm starting to loathe technology :(
