Apparently being a "CERN physicist" doesn't prevent you from being an biased loud mouth, ignoring evidence and spinning "facts" for your personal agenda.
Besides, haven't you heard the *REAL* US gov supported solution?
Simply burn your food supplies as fuel.
Problem solved.
I _swear_ that I used a very simple programming language in the late '80s called "GO"....but when I Google, all I get is _Google_
At least wikipedia gives you a bit more info. It was on some proprietary dumb network terminal system that came out of UoWaterloo, I think. Can't really remember grade 11, sigh.
All the language seemed to be targeted for was drawing lines on the screen. Anyone?
A quick-swipe card for patent investigators which stores their personal "patent or no-patent" preference, so they don't have to bother discussing new applications.
In high school in the mid 80's, my math lesson taught me that all the balls in the lottery had an equal chance of being drawn. Furthermore, over time and sufficient draws, all the balls would be selected equally, or close enough. "Lay people" struggled to pick lucky numbers, and it was quite popular to pick numbers which had been chosen a number of times in recent weeks. But not me, I was educated.
I formulated the reverse theory: that numbers that had been neglected were "overdue" and more likely to be picked in the future, to preserve equality and randomness.
Eureka!
I toiled for months, on paper at first, then on my first PC's. I learned how to program in Pascal just to further my project. I scanned newspaper microfiche and requested data from the Lotto corp. In the end I assembled over 10 years worth of winning Lotto 639 numbers, thousands of them, and made my computations of weighting. I then began systematically betting small amounts on the most "unpopular" numbers. I won a little, lost a little, leaving me a few dollars ahead, literally. Like $4.
By this time, I just started university. After making friends with a few upper-year classmates, they eventually learned of my big secret project. One of them was kind enough to break the news to me: I would learn that my theory was utterly crap, as soon as I took my first stats course. I verified the bad news in the library, myself.
Over a year of hard work, completely wasted. My naive pet theory debunked.
And worst of all, I had learned Pascal. Doh!
Imagine the added weight of all that random DNA collection gear that police will have to carry all day.
And DNA collection can be a messy business.
Can't we all put our minds together to combine say, a Taser / DNA Extractomatic?

One word: Ghostery There, fixed that.

EPA == Establishment Protection Agency
They "test" them.
They forgot to blame Al Gore for inventing it. Quick, somebody throw them a link to PGP.
Oh, the humanity....er...marsanity.
Now how about an *open format* mandate to go with that?
What, no "Don't Panic" screen saver? Who writes these product requirements anyway?

Have you looked at the men & women in IT ? They're *putting* each other to sleep.

I think the post meant to say "Impotence" - the inability to shoot when desired.
