Someone over at Dailykos has posted a list of words and phrases to use in communications in order to provoke the Agency. In the list are a number of rather innocuous sentences containing trigger words:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/2/14/1203/50826">www.dailykos.com/story/20...1203/50826</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Please use caution! Naturally, the people over at dkos see the list as a joke and are making light of it's implications.<br><br>I ran a search on one of the sentences, and it brought up mainly university-based computing sites. There was some mention of the d. adv. research proj. a. I cannot find a definition of what timit is. What is the Agency doing with it? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=wgu20@rigorousintuition>WGU20</A> at: 2/14/06 3:04 pm<br></i>

"The DARPA TIMIT speech database was designed to provide acoustic phonetic speech data for the development and evaluation of automatic speech recognition systems. It consists of utterances of 630 speakers that represent the major dialects of American English."<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.mpi.nl/world/tg/corpora/timit/timit.html">www.mpi.nl/world/tg/corpo...timit.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Yuck Yuck! <p></p><i></i>

"James Carville" is a red flag? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

One of the TIMIT trigger phrases (edited) is: "Lots of foreign **vies have sub*****s." <br><br>I am just curious as to how and why the Agency would see such phrases as triggers. I'm sure that they sometimes come up in innocent conversation. (for example...Sundance Film festival's foreign categories containing many English-Language films not needing subbing versus the many in the category that do)<br><br>I just wonder what the palindromatic acronym means. <p></p><i></i>
