OK, now let's make a list of the guidelines that are actually followed :D

I got lateral epicondylitis from playing Angry Birds. It only took a couple of months of daily play. It also took months to heal after I stopped playing the game ( I had to delete it from my iPod-that's how addicting it was).

Update: I took a look at all the test ruby code from the repository and have successfully performed template matching using ruby-opencv. This method is explained in test_cvmat_imageprocessing.rb. Works great, will keep me busy for the next few days. Happy coding!

This is awesome, any luck trying to find custom images within a picture? Or is this strictly for detecting eyes, faces, and entire bodies? I've been working on transferring some of my old OpenCV code from c++ to ruby and this is one task that isn't proving easy. It doesn't seem the good old 'MatchTemplate' function that i know and love from opencv has a counterpart in ruby-opencv.

"Don't re-invent the wheel," IF and only IF you are allowed to use that code (e.g. using GPL in a commercial closed source product).

I think you're right that it's more about the simulation argument. I also like how there's a kind of a mutual Turing Test going on between Colter and Goodwin. 'Source Code' simulated a lot of movies in snippets - 'Minority Report', '12 Monkeys', 'Inception', 'Groundhog Day', 'Existenz' and even a little 'Primer' - and I thought it did so very nicely. I don't know if any of this was intentional, but that's the nice thing about simulations; it doesn't matter if they happen by purpose or chance. Check out a novel by Greg Egan called 'Permutation City'.
