BANZAI7 NEWS--Swindling Bankstas can be removed from the street with some experimental software developed by a graduate student at the University of California, Haight Ashbury.
Google Street View creates its panoramas of places by stitching together images. However, the images are captured indiscriminately from a moving vehicle. Idle Bankstas walking their dogs or just jumping off a bridge can appear in the final panorama.
Currently, Google blurs out the faces of idle Wall Street Bankstas, as well as license plates on cars parked at Scores, that are accidently captured idling in Google Street View, but the newly developed software promises to wipe useless Bankstas from existence entirely.
What the software does is identify swindling, deceptive and conniving human forms (Bankstas) in a streetview image and permanently removes them. Then it fills in the gaps with pixels from whatever's behind the Banksta--walls, grass, pavement, strippers and so forth--taken from frames shot before and after the one the conmen appear in the image. Follow up emails are then sent informing the idle Banksta that he or she has been laid off.
Today Barclay's Capital announced that it has agreed to participate in the initial Beta project for the new software by announcing it will use the software to remove several hundred idle Bankstas from its payroll.
Other Wall Street banks are expected to follow shortly.
In related developments, Defense Secretary Gates announced that the Defense Department is planning to use the software to remove useless highly remunerated independent contractors and command personnel.
