Sorry.. but fuc* all those fuc** bastards who say that face expretion is in the fuck*g face...is the freaking gene of the time. that we all have predetermined. To the hell with all of them.

I have neve never NEVER understood what the freaking faces mean... other than a smile code which I do understand given the universality around me about a smile being nice... I have never never been able to understand thos fr--fuc*ing faces!!!!!

Enough is enough!!! NO faces dimesnionality in the comment rating.

I have said.. and rest my case. Your honour.

Sincerly yours

Mr/Mrs Boldface.

A pleasure

The Chernoff faces per se were intended to encode many additional dimensions into a 2D scatterplot, exploiting human face-image brainware to let people easily see groupings and outliers in those additional dimensions. The proposed application seems different enough that directly expressive, non-Chernoff faces might be better.

That said, I'd prefer to see an emphasis on the cooler, cognitive dimensions of response, and faces seem to me to pull in the opposite direction. In other words, I hate the idea and it makes me angry! Besides, it would devalue html abuse and buffoonery.

None of them look very happy.  I mean, I don't think anyone here will be mistaking me for Pollyanna, but . . .
