TEDxLahore - Zeeshan Usmani - Countering terror with technology

[haartengineer]

guys look at the other side of this software... y he got govt grants? he got the attention of defence researchers... they can modify this...and use enemy territory maps and find out best and weak areas to attack...

dont know if it will work or not but seems he caught their attention..

[farhanishaque]

looks like he is after BIG MONEY from Government Grants, if he is sincere with country then he should do it withouth 2nd thought. He is very cunning , which is quite obvious from his speech.

[farhanishaque]

in the end of his speech he is talking about some gov person and this stupid usmani knows when that person will die ?

[farhanishaque]

yee kiss koo chotyaa bunaa rahaa hay, he was my student during BCS , i know how he got the position in BCS , he was good in studies but not that much good. most of awards he has mentioned in his resume are fake. Sindh province is far far bad and full of corruption and people such as this guy know how to get on the ladder. And I have no doubt whatever he has developed would provide more negative impact then positive one.

We must have watched the same video but from two different perspectives. What perspective are you coming from?

[babushka99]

bumm-ber!!! (epic!)

[manhornz]

Pakistan's best solution is to build an intrusion detection separation barrier along the border with Afghanistan and it would cost approximately $5 billion. However, the money Pakistan will save from preventing illegal trade/immigration and the huge decrease in attacks on civilians will itself pay for the fence in a few years (I wouldn't be surprised within 5 years).

I personally believed in a unified Muslim world but for that to happen Pakistan must secure itself and prosper.

MASHALLAH!! MAY ALLAH HELP THIS GREAT MAN!

[CriminalMedicine]

only one solution ! Kill all the damnn bastard extremist wahabi salafies ...

[smalltimeproas]

@CriminalMedicine Nice one.. and what category do you fall in?... can we kill you too?

[iluvium]

Beware, the devil is tricky and resourceful!

This is bullshit!

[actorlando]

This speech does nothing to address the root cause of suicide bombings and Islamist terrorism. I agree with sarfapak this software is of more use to fundamental political Islamists who can run impact scenarios to determine the greatest amount of damage.

The speaker is a devout Shariah compliant Islamist - you can tell by his beard and no mustache. He understands Islamist doctrine and Shariah Law - yet he fails to address the root cause of terrorism - what a missed opportunity

[smalltimeproas]

@actorlando That was not the topic of his talk .. smarty

[sarfapak]

This piece of software has more use to terrorists than to law enforcement agencies :P Now before doing a suicide attack, they will probably predict more accurately how to design the "bum" and train "suicide bumber" to cause maximum damage. Kudos to the inventor, you've just wont the Darwinian award for Pakistan :-) Dr. Usmani will be hearing from TTP and Al-Qaida soon because the law enforcement agencies are not interested, but terrorists are for maximum impact surely are

[thespeckledband]

@sarfapak Obviously, if the root cause is eliminated there wouldn't even be a need for any such software like this. But keeping in mind that the it is not taken care of, I believe this is the best you can do to minimize the effects.

As for predicting the next suicide bombing attack, a technique known as Geo Spatial Data Mining is carried out. Read about it. It promises to target the alarming calamity spread in the country.

[albalushiii]

nice information

long live BLA (balochistan libration army)

use this bombs on pokistan army

morda bad pokistan

: )

[sjua99]

Thanks to Global Science best ever Urdu Science magazine of Pakistan,Dr. Usmani is one of the editor of this magazine since many years, and i am a reader of Global Science so i know him from very long time, great man great talent.

His biography also printed by Global Science "Aik Fulbright Fellow ki Aap Beeti"

[hamidpakistani]

Psycho case Doctor...... Just collected the informed and developed a software. What is the actual use and benefit of this software??? Nothing.... It is a useless thing

[saad31]

@hamidpakistani : We can designed our buildings that less effect from suicide bombing etc 

[SerpentSlang]

@hamidpakistani think before you write something hamid.

[fakhranwer]

@hamidpakistani This software might not be as useful but at least Zeeshan Usmani put all his efforts to do something about the devastation our nation is going through unlike some whinning fucks like yourself who are only good at being cynical.

[smazii]

Awesome effort...thumbs up!!

[hamzazafar]

Great, brilliant idea indeed.. just one small problem that our government doesn't give a shit about this because they live in huge palace and mansions secured from all the potential threats and drive the bomb-proof limo.

[zainulabidin23]

The idea is brilliant.....itz helpful in making accurate idea of wat happnd in any suicide attack.....it will save a lot of time for law enforcement agencies to back track the terrorists...

[mehwishhussain28]

A great model, a great software.

I am lecturer and a researcher in dow university + recently completed a course on injury prevention from AKUH

I want to work as a researcher with this software and with the database.

Kindly, guide me how can I be a part of such team.

[thespeckledband]

@mehwishhussain28 You need to email Dr.Zeeshan at zusmani@giki.edu.pk

[farhanishaque]

@mehwishhussain28 : what kind of research you will do ? what is and what should be important for a doctor in the time of emergency , is to save human life .. Do you think , using this stupid Usmani idea , doctor's would be doing forensic analysis , so that they may know how much patients have what injuries blah blah blah ... his idea is stupid even for forensic analysis ... humn life should be saved first without losing a sinlge second.

Thank you,

[osmankhalid2005]

Effort is good but the question still persists, how you can predict that any particular area or location is about to be bombed by suicide bomber, in that case this software fails.

[osltesting]

MashAllah That was brilliant....May Allah give us courage and determination to make our country better. Ameen

[aliwaqas14]

@osltesting : Agreed.

[pathangpathang]

I appreciate your efforts to help Pakistan but this project is not going to be of much help to fight suicide bombing though it can help doctors to treat injured people. We need to reform police of Pakistan.

Insha Allah we will bring the change Pakistan deserves.

[farhanishaque]

@pathangpathang :: how can this help , serious medical conditions wont allow to use this software ! has some one done testing of this system ? Do not know how buggy or defective this software is !!! Also emergency need direct action and attention by doctors , not by using this never tested software , this is nothing but an stupid idea , and this person through government grants wants to make money...

[goharsultan]

What he is talking about .. he is just freaked out ... :( Sorry, very bad

[herecrazysoul]

Sir you are always awesome .... technology for change ....

Z.Usmani was my teacher at university .... feel so good to see it ...

[sultanksu]

Very promising in deed! Keep up the good work and it will prevail inshallah soon.

[DebuggerTube]

Zeeshan sb. you have right kind of knowledge, skills our country Pakistan need.

After watching this presentation i do wish and pray that we as nation wakeup. And answer all right opportunities and services which our citizens has to offer.

[MrHakb]

i mean awesome......................

[AUtheGreat]

@colraf : yar janay deay yahan bhi ponch gaia hai :P

[sstump64]

Dr. U: Very nice presentation, and your software looks great as well. You are a true patriot for Pakistan.

[colraf]

Dr. Charles Eppes of Pakistan! Proud of you Dr. Usmani :)

[hassanmasud25]

Creativity at its best (considering the need for it as well)!
