Replying to myself, I just took a glance at TFA(I know, I know) and yes, they do cover dogs and other animals... (fruit flies, rats, etc.) Finding a good animal training program sounds like it would be a great alternative for 3rd world countries that might not be able to afford state of the art sniffing devices.
The trick, it seems, would be how to train the dog to react to the cancer smell, and only the cancer smell... Need isolated control samples for the dogs to know what to detect... Then a training program for the dogs, and distribution. Certainly sounds like it could get better compliance rates then sticking peoples body parts between cold plates and bombarding them with flesh penetrating radiation....
So if I were to try to promote the use of encryption in private communications, would that be "a willingness to evade or help others evade the law?" Nothing to hide, and all that...
All this talk of millions, billions and trillions as if they were drops in a bucket, and yet I still know very few people who earn enough to support themselves let alone families or school. I imagine all these people thinking "Retirement savings? HA! First need to eat today!" This is all as their wages are going down compared to the price of rent and food, while their taxes are going up.. Most are just glad they have parents who's retirement they can leach off of.
Federal lawyers have suggested several ways the information can be preserved without being available to the NSA.
I'm *sure* they are well intentioned, but do we really trust a legal solution to data storage by the NSA? Or are we trusting lawyers for their technical security knowhow?
Hey, so they want to make another site just like https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ with the same level of support, feedback, and quality of response, correct?/sarcasm>
Even if someone got a program that was "pretty good" at figuring out age and gender, I strongly doubt they could make it accurate enough not to be a huge civil liberties problem. IF someone were to make a program that was 99% accurate, that would still be some 3million 16 year old girls in the US getting their houses raided in case they are a perv. (ok they aren't likely to raid on evidence like that alone, but they might use it as probable cause to 'dig deeper' into who she is... and if she caused the false flag then she is likely an outlier who the gov't wants to know more about anyway, for retraining... I'll go don my tinfoil hat now.)
My only questions are is it possible to simplify the proof? And how hard would that be? If we have a testable proof, then it should be possible to throw another algorithm on it to simplify and optimize it... Only after that step should it be considered ready to inspect and test by others.
I think it is a stupid request, and a stupid rule, and really should get no legitimate responses... That said, here is one:( This jackass owner probably already has his clients pay some ludicrous security deposit to get in his magic car, so you let people know they won't be getting their ludicrous sum of money back if they are caught taking pictures in the vehicle. The security cameras they have would help enforcement. Still as others have said, this is an awful practice, and hopefully (if there is any justice in the world [there isn't]) cause them to lose customers.
I'm sure there are a good many things that make it to the uh, evidence room. Wallets, bags of cash, and easily sellable drugs probably all make it there on a regular basis...
For example Phillips 66 paid Utah $2 million to resolve allegations that the oil company defrauded a state fund to the tune of $25 million for cleanups associated with leaking underground tanks.
This is why corporate crime pays in the current world:S
That would actually be a pretty neat reality show: "You have nothing to hide!" streaming live online! "Live in this glass hotel, and prove to the world you have nothing to hide!" "Cellphones and computers provided free! Stay 3 months and earn $10,000!" smallprint>Sponsored by the NSA and your local congress troll!/smallprint

if one sits on 400 million USD
Which could double or half tomorrow.... The benefits and drawbacks of bitcoin...

Heck, even if they withhold 37% I'd still be happy as a clam.
Hand up. :)
I'll take a project I don't need to succeed at for $1 million
I would love to see them get charged with ~200,000,000 counts of stalking... :)

This process is also patented, use of wood for filtration will require royalty payments or hefty penalties.
Yeah, I needed a conversion on that.. I was thinking "what kinda scientist is using quarts?"

I think I heard a "whoosh" go over at least 1 moderators head.

Exactly! Just like we do with our corporate overlords.
Seems to be working, right?

This was my immediate thought too....
I'd rather see all headlights be polarized, and have polarized windshields that limit the light that comes through at the standardized angles....
For example Phillips 66 paid Utah $2 million to resolve allegations that the oil company defrauded a state fund to the tune of $25 million for cleanups associated with leaking underground tanks.

Of course it has already been done (maybe NSFW)...
But yes, the living version....

Jesus Christ. I think that we have recordings of all phone calls to and from the Icelandic parliament during the past four months
I stop expecting much when they can't even copy a quote correctly... It gets the gist across, but isn't exactly what was said.
>jesus .is parliament.
>mm?
>looks like we have the last 4 mothers of all audio to all phones in the
>s/mothers/months
That actually sounds more interesting to me... But definitely says nothing about him placing anything anywhere.
