Kyrgyz Troops Protecting Dam, Not Quelling Violence
June 14, 2010 2220 GMT
According to STRATFOR sources in Central Asia, security forces in Kyrgyzstan, which has been torn by ethnic violence in recent days, are not able to quell the rioting in the country because a large number of troops are stationed at the Toktogul dam. The interim government has set protection of the Toktogul dam, located in the violence-stricken southern province of Jalal-Abad, as a top priority, and has therefore allocated a large percentage of the forces at its disposal to protect the dam rather than to quell the rioting. The dam, a strategic part of the Kyrgyz economy and energy production, is owned by Russia, but is highly coveted by Uzbekistan

The obvious usage for a computer with specialized intelligence is designing a better computer. The Singularity may be closer than you think.
