Some of the most popular news media services in my country took this for granted. On a second thought, that was expected after citing "The Onion" as a relevant news source.
3. Run the same code, just make sure to use one of the cascades downloaded from step 2
Line 60:
parser.add_option("-c", "--cascade", action="store", dest="cascade", type="str", help="Haar cascade file, default %default", default = "/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.2/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
Change default to the haar cascade file path, or use --cascade option to specify it.

Edit: For non-Deb based distros, use your package manager to download/install opencv for python (or compile it) and continue from step 2.
This statement can be true if 60% of the PC's were low end configurations and(or?) 60% of the Windows desktops have high-speed, HA internet connection. Eastern Europe suffers from unstable, slow and expensive internet connections with high traffic restrictions. In my country, the most used internet package is limited to 20GB/mo traffic up/down and after you exceed it, you get 64/32kbps speed.
I pray every day for Linux to replace 60% of Windows desktops. And I am talking about OS thats far more mature, usable and functional. I don't think this will happen in near future, and I really don't think that ChromeOS will achieve that.
Linux Mint LXDE is very lightweight without sacrificing functionality and looks. I use it on my netbook for several months now, and it works great. Battery life improved 40% since I switched to it, everything works out of the box.
