Sim Epidemic
Dotnaught writes "Scientific American has an intriguing story about EpiSims, an outbreak simulator. Designed by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), it deals with a social networking of a different sort: 'To understand what a social network really is and how it can be used for epidemiology, imagine the daily activities and contacts of a single hypothetical adult, Ann. She has short brushes with family members during breakfast and then with other commuters or carpoolers on her way to work. Depending on her job, she might meet dozens of people at work, with each encounter having a different duration, proximity and purpose.'"
OHH NOES ITS A SIMULATER!!!
Your feeble attempts to appease us combined with recent bias against those in your fold that sympathize with moral acitons has left us no choice. We gave you every opportunity to make amends. We gave you every opportunity to turn yourselves around to become a decent employer. We gave you every opportunity to have a graceful end to your oppression of your contractors. Don't act so suprised. Your wrongdoings will be avenged. Guerilla warfare will be the end of you.
The end is near for you. Vengeance will be sweet. Have you nothing to say? No last words?
This type of thing may be good in the AIDs in Africa research that is going on. Being uncircumcised is big factor in the transmition of AIDs in Africa, and this technology may be used to predict where the next AIDs outbreak may occur.
