Excuse me...

If you insist - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6478235.stm]]>Apr 2nd 2007 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/
I'm Malaysian as well, and i'm sure you're not. So let me tell you that there is definately a SIGNIFICANT decrease in all the pirated shops sales and stock, since these dogs came. What they forgot to mention is that these dogs cant tell the difference btwn fake software and fake movie, and the illegal software industry is also hit.
Call bullshit if you like, but the facts remain, as reported by all the major news networks. Or are they in the 'conspiracy ' too?
Why dont you come here and have a look for yourself if you dont believe it? It is Visit Malaysia Year!]]>Apr 2nd 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Can they sniff out pirated discs? Bullshit. They only smell plastics in the room and that isn't that new.

All this media coverage is just hype.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Instead, "The animals were trained in Northern Ireland to identify the smell of polycarbonates - chemicals used in the disc manufacturing process"

and "The three-year-old animals - trained by a handler in Northern Ireland who usually teaches dogs to find bombs - can find, but cannot distinguish between, CDs and DVDs, burned and replicated disks, or legitimate and pirate disks. The dogs take only 10 minutes to check boxes that security officials would have needed a day to examine."

From this, I would conclude that they smell the plastics used in disc manufacturing (as opposed to the plastic in ur chair or folder file) and so would not go crazy at the smell of any plastic object, as some ppl have thought.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/
I do find it strange that Engadget is pretending (in my mind) to be in favor of this, in spite of having real hatred of the MPAA, and in all liklihood, have more than a few pirated DVDs in their collection.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/
instead of a hiding the CD/DVD's in a hidden passageway, they should have hid them in microwaves... The second that the dogs come---zap the evidence in seconds~ :P]]>Apr 2nd 2007 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Also, before people start calling bullshit they should go and read any of the dozens of articles about these dogs, or at least do some cursory research on the sniffing capabilities of dogs. They can smell cancer, surely it's not a stretch to sniff out some plastics. ]]>Apr 2nd 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/

ShadowOfTheHegemon: That would mean that CDs not based on alu-gold can't be sniffed?]]>Apr 2nd 2007 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/Apr 2nd 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/
hence - hooray for the cute dogs! :)

btw i am in south east asia and yes, the first thing the pirates did was set a bounty on the dogs. kill them and collect it. which has not, i might add, made the pirates any more popular.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/lucky-and-flo-sniff-out-another-450k-in-pirated-dvds/
