- Rubab, on 06/24/2008, -0/+7this is really informative, from the page "The commission's Joint Research Center developed software that monitors 1,540 Web sites running some 40,000 articles a day. There's no database per se, just about 10 gigabytes of information flowing past a pattern-matching algorithm every day — 3.5 terabytes a year."

- kuz2r, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5Just monitor digg and do the opposite.
- Burento, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3I think we definitely need to start looking at some better ways of predicting where attacks will happen. Following up on threats and beating information out of people cannot be the the best way.
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2With so much data there is bound to be a pattern but what it can be chaotic to actually secure a zone prior to a riot or an act of terror occurring.
- Terr01, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1We tried the whole "robot" angle, but that just threw a huge wrench in the whole workings of psychohistory. Poor Hari.
- zunairaali, on 06/24/2008, -1/+2very information for me
- FuryOfThor, on 06/24/2008, -3/+2Very interesting stuff. Now if only we could hook up the system to robots who could stop the violence before it happened, preferably using nonviolence and robo-psychic lasers.
