What is key here is that whoever controls SMITE is made up of people of sound ethic. The misuse of terror law (arresting photographers, penalty charges for minor transgressions etc etc) here in the UK by over zealous Nu Labor 'jobsworths' who are little different than Hitler's foot soldiers are examples of how the servants of any overly powerful individual or entity can take the law into their own hands because they have an unjustified chip on their shoulders, unlike their (sometimes) well meaning leaders.

And that, dear fellow Engadgetons is seriously wrong.

I can predict that you'll eat, drink, sleep and breath in the next 72 hours. That seems like pretty predictable behavior to me. I mean you can try to break those but that would contradict the "smart" aspect of human behavior. ]]>May 23rd 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/
What has a 6000 year old history? Is that some kind of "intelligent design" philosophy?

first writing records: around 3500 BC.

Prehistory (Latin, præ = before; Greek, ιστορία = history) is a term used to describe the period before recorded history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistory (but you can check in other sources.

before that in reverse order:
Iron age
bronze age
stone age with the first cities.

so no it is not intelligent design referred to here, but science.
check your sources

What you are saying is that only recorded history can be described as "history"? I don't think so. I'm talking about human history. You know, with all that "unpredictable behavior" that ZLiberator was talking about. ;-) Just because nobody has written it down then to preserve it for us to study, it's not said that it's not part of our history.]]>May 24th 2010 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/
it might be easier to follow if you simply break down your actions into a massive decision tree. Under normal circumstances, the decision tree generated per day won't look all that different from the same day a week before or after it. Only minor decisions may deviate (say eating lunch at mcdonalds vs burger king before returning to work.) These minor decision deviations may only mean the difference of a couple miles in a few minutes, but will generally be roughly the same distance from the point of origin and point of destination at relatively the same respective time you'd leave or arrive at those points.

What would raise flags in predicting an impulse action would be a nested selection of decision branches that continue to deviate further and further from the "normal" on record. (Say leaving work early, going to a restaurant a but further out than mcdonalds/burger king, then going further out from work to a walmart, then further out to a known contacts location). A large deviation in events could be brought to attention to authorities, who could examine any collected info about you from the earliest deviation detected, such as how fast you traveled between locations and what purchases were made along the way)

one could predict that a person who drove fast from to and from a store where they purchased an item that might be used as a weapon, might be able to prevent someone the person in question knows from getting killed or injured, simply by processing all known info about a person fast enough to act.

Even travel speed alone could be enough to establish a potential threat. If a person that was angry with you yesterday suddenly sped off to another location after seeing you, then returning the next day, travelling at roughly the same speed might strongly suggest that person is still angry at you and may be back to threaten or harm you. (after all, wouldn't you drive more cautiously when going to visit someone you're not angry at?)]]>May 24th 2010 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/May 23rd 2010 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/May 23rd 2010 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/darpa-program-will-detect-your-anomalous-behavior-eliminate-you/
That Creates a database of actions that correspond to purchasing behavior; It's hoped that behaviors can be detected before they lead to actual money being spent towards another companies product.
