Well, I guess that depends on whether your hypothetical Joe Schmoe stays everywhere under assumed names, switches cellphones like shirts and instantly insults and publicly accuses the prosecutors of conspiracy and being lap dogs for the US.
The first two things kinda make them eye you with suspicion, the last one probably pissed them off. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't more personal than conspiratorial.
I also think the timing isn't that bad, the lawyer for the girls appealed to a different prosecutor because they felt that comments from the first prosecutor indicated that they weren't being taken seriously, because they weren't.
Yes, I think it's insane how this has all blown up from them merely trying to find a legal way to force him to get an STD test. But I suspect that is as much a result from Julian's attacks on the motives of the Swedish prosecutors once the major news networks got wind of this and spread it all over the world, as it is from those prosecutors trying to make a name for themselves.
Really? Alien (sometimes empathic), telepathic immortal who happens to look human and travels through time, space and dimensional barriers saving the earth from a slew of extraterrestrial, robotic or time traveling villains in a time machine that is stuck looking like a 1950's London police box. And your gripe with their is his handheld magic wand?

Or in the words of one of the undisputed masters of rock:
Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Airplanes crashing into houses aren't the result of terrorist attacks, as far as I can research nearly every incident of a plane crashing into a house is pilot or mechanical error.
In light of this information does this mean you don't want any planes to fly anymore, just in case?
I seriously doubt this will save any lives. I think it's because I doubt that the factor that caused those fatalities was that the driver couldn't see behind them. Isn't it more likely that those individuals were just irresponsibly bad drivers no matter what technology is at their fingertips? I mean, it's not hard to see out the back of a car or truck. And if it is, you shouldn't be moving fast enough that you could kill anyone you bumped into.
Well I guess we'll find out when the new statistics come out after this gets pushed through.
Great! That's the perfect defense when I copy other people's personal information to use as my own. No your honor, I didn't steal I just copied. Yes your honor, I know it's a ridiculous defense but the people on slashdot say so...
Well that's good to hear, I have a friend that manages the medical cadavers for Columbia and they always need more. Sign the back of your license today. ^_^
And the point of burying a body is based on religion, culture and tradition. There are countless points and reasons for burying a body, some we would consider good reasons, others we would consider superstition and/or ridiculous. You obviously lump most of funeral tradition in this second catagory. Personally, I don't have many memories of my grandfather, but I still go to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery to visit him. I like the solitude and cold contemplative beauty of cemeteries, I also like reading gravestones and imagining the lives behind those names and quotes.
But just because I like them, doesn't mean that I believe cemeteries are a sustainable method of burial or corpse disposal. But as my links point out, this is being addressed in many, many different ways. Cremation is becoming more popular, but something about creating a product out of my body after I die appeals to me. Personally I want to use my ashes in making whiskey for all my friends and relatives.
Regardless of how valid someone's reasons are, if you don't tell us what your reasons are and refuse to detail any aspect of them, we can only assume that you have none. Thus your opinion in the eyes of your peers on slashdot becomes a belief.

I thought that was just the original Green Lantern's power ring.
Wait, the PSP console or the PSP games? Every time I look at game sales the DS is utterly dominating.

If this list of sites is public knowledge, why is it considered something newsworthy for Wikileaks to print?
Well, you could also mandate that all cars beep like trucks when in reverse. ^_^

So if something isn't copyrighted...it's not property?
So if it can't be copyrighted, it isn't property?
They've knowingly accepted and redistributed stolen property?

Because you touch yourself at night.

I was merely trying to address what I thought was confusion between yourself and other posters.
Well if you don't want to donate your body to medical science...
The Japanese have come up with some ideas:
http://www.pri.org/world/asia/japan-high-tech-graveyard-in-sky1680.html
Others are taking the family heirloom idea to another level:

Many others prefer sea burials:

Others are taking a sea burial more literally and discovering a way to preserve full body burial without using up more land:

And still others are making records out of corpses:

What about you?

Many people already do. Donate your body to medicine or science and/or sign the organ donor release on the back of your license:

Ok, was just checking to see if you were just playing logic games like I thought.
