#  Repeal Power Laws

A group of students from the Machine Learning department at Carnegie Mellon took to the streets last week to protest at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. I am afraid that their issues were not being taken seriously inside the summit. There's a [first hand account](http://dataphiles.blogspot.com/2009/09/machine-learning-protest-at-g20.html) and [a photo set on flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/30686429@N07/sets/72157622330082619/). I can't decide if my favorite is "Repeal Power Laws" or "Safer Data Mining".
