I've been looking around for a Mortgage Payoff calculator and it looks like the ones that are available are primarily commercial. Does anyone know if it already exists somewhere in script form that could be translated into another language?
If not, is anyone familiar enough with the logic that wouldn't mind sketching up the pseudo-code? I'll be able to script everything together once it's laid out but all searching I've done so far has only turned up results for creating an Mortgage (not payoff) calculator.
In addition to the obvious utility, hopefully putting this logic out there will help people better understand how their mortgage is being calculated.

The amortization shows you the remaining principal which is the same as the payoff amount.

Is it possible to detect if a person is drunk via image recognition or face-scanning? If it's possible, is there an API available for that?
You could try to code again the accelerometer. Maybe a drunk person is unable to hold the phone still??

This is a RESTful face recognition api and maybe what you want http://www.faceplusplus.com . But I don't know whether it can detect drunk face.
OpenCV! Haartraining!
FYI: I recommend you to work haartraining with something different concurrently because you have to wait so many days during training (it would possibly take one week). I typically experimented as 1. run haartraining on Friday 2. forget about it completely 3. see results on next Friday 4. run another haartraining (loop).

My question seems to be dump, but because i was studying this new technique, i've found that NoSql has changed from its beginning, for example, in the beginning there was the problem of see your own update, and for example Facebook dident let users to update their comments due to the write once, read many
So, do i change all concepts that i've read in 2010-2012 tutorials?
Has NoSql beat the CAP theorem ?
I agree this can easily turn into discussion. I'll give brief answers from my experience to your two questions:
No, the concepts haven't changed. The landscape seems to be growing quite a bit as lots of companies get into the NoSQL space. Beware vendor promises!
No way. Just read this article this morning, it is a great explanation on some of the issues with the CAP theorem: http://codahale.com/you-cant-sacrifice-partition-tolerance/

Can anyone recommend me some good tutorial regarding SOM? I googled up some, but I'm not very satisfied with them.
Thanks,
proper
What are you looking for in particular and what language are you using?
One of the easiest explanations of SOM involve the automatic mapping of similar colours as described here and here. I always liked AI-Junkie's site which also demonstrates the colour classification. Try and understand why the colours merge as that is probably the 'hello world' equivalent in Self-Organizing Maps.

If I want to use a traditional approval type workflow in a regular asp.net system, for example
an order that needs an approval before order is placed. Rather than having the traditional
enum for OrderStatus, can I benefit from using microsoft WF4 (Workflow version 4) for this
or will I just generate more complexity and more code for no added benefit?
Any time you have a long running operation like this WF4 is a good possibility. The fact that the graphical designer allows you to show the actual running process, not a Visio copy of it, is also a huge benefit.
There is however a learning curve to WF4 and there are times you have to do things the WF4 way instead of the C#/VB way you did before. That said there is certainly a benefit, thinks like an approval request not being handled in, lets say, 14 days is very easy to do in WF4.

Does anyone know of a real good SSMS Add-In that beautifies T/SQL, isn't too expensive and also does things around best practices for T/SQL formatting?
I'm well aware of Red Gate's tool, but ~$300 is quite a killer amount.
http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Refactor/index.htm
I've seen this Add-In, but it's purely about indentation.
http://www.wangz.net/sqlpp/ssmsaddin.html
Neither solution addresses the commenting and header best practices.
I came across this tool:
http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_refactor.asp
It's pretty good for a free product. Nothing beats the Red Gate tools however.
Have you tried SQL Enlight?
These ones have some basic features
