You could teach a farm pig binary search, they're pretty smart.

Standard city hogs though? Well, they have a tougher time.

That, AND the software is a piece of shit that you need to wait 15 minutes every time you jump to a different time, even if that time is 5 seconds away... Ask me how I come to be so quick with this response. I'm not bitter about working with a cheap employer's video system, not at all.

You generally don’t go into the police force if you have intellectual curiosity

I do this kind of explaining, and yeah police and some bureaucrats have no patience for it.

I am also a total, total (ASD) dork.
