Who would you rather have living next to you, the guy who did a home invasion and beat the crap out of a family, or the guy who is a convicted sex offender because when he was 24 he had sex with a willing 16yo and her parents pressed charges?
By the way, in some places "sex offender" also includes those convicted of solicitation, prostitution, and/or lewd and lascivious behavior, which could include sex in one's vehicle.
Why should people be trustworthy to a company they can't trust and would fire them with no notice for trumped up reasons all so some manager can get better office furniture or an executive can get a bigger bonus?
This is what happens when companies are disloyal to their employees. The employees become disloyal to the company.
If the executives would stop being greedy, arrogant shithead; stop fattening their pockets at the expense of the company, the shareholders, and the employees; and treating employees like expendable resources instead of people, this would not be a problem.
But, they are psychopathic assholes, so it is going to continue.
He did not "quickly resign under a shroud of secrecy". There was a complete investigation.
The investigation found he did not commit sexual harassment, but did find he violated the company's business conduct code. That is why he was asked to resign and he resigned because the board intimated that he could resign or he could be removed.
Maybe you should try reading the actual stories about this subject. Then, you wouldn't say things that are patently and provably false.
He did not resign because of the sexual harassment charges. The investigation found he did not violate the company's sexual harassment policies.
He was asked to resign and did so because the board felt that he violated the company's standards of business conduct, conduct that was discovered during the investigation.
1 billion gallons / 150,000,000 (guesstimate of the average population of the US over the 42 years) / 42 years/365 days =.000438 gallons per person per day.
While someone might sue, it is doubtful it would get far as records of arrests and mugshots are public records. The plaintiff would have to argue that the public records should not be available to the public.
This is just an example of a government agency being open and accessible.
I think you have it backwards.
The police force is using a free commercial enterprise (FB) to publish public records on the internet as opposed to spending the money to add the feature to their website.
They are not promoting FaceBook, they are exploiting FaceBook.
And, if your friend had been arrested and your local police department had electronic records available over the internet, any background check would have turned up an arrest for "child assault". Even if the records were not available over the internet, a professional background check would turn up the arrest.
Also, see my post about public records as to the existence of mugshot magazines.
Mugshots are public records, just like arrest reports. All the police department is doing is making those records readily accessible.
There is a company that gathers mugshots and arrest reports and publishes them in a flier called "Who's in jail" and sells them for $1.00 each at convenience stores. This is no different and actually prevents people from making money on the misfortune and stupidity of others.
It was not readily apparent to me, but then I prefer to use standard algebraic notation. To me "( )" could mean anything as it has not defined meaning.
His taxes are not going to huge compared to his mortgage, and he gets to deduct the interest on his mortgage from his taxes. And, he can still sell his house, assuming he didn't behave foolishly and buy it high or cash out the equity.
If his cable bill is so onerous as to be effected by his tax payments, perhaps he should consider cutting back on the cable services.
Yes, because @neiltyson (Neil deGrasse Tyson), @TheScienceGuy (Bill Nye), @michiokaku (Michio Kaku ), @donttrythis (Adam Savage), and various NASA astronauts are idiots and not experts in their fields./sarcasm
First off, Walmart does not employ those "[Chinese/Mexican/Indian] workers". Other companies do. That you do not recognize that tells volumes about how well you understand what you are talking about.
I care about how Walmart treats Americans and America. Mexicans can worry about Mexico and themselves; the Chinese, China and the Chinese, etc.
I guess you care more about the people in other countries than those in your own.
If you care more about "[laidoff Chinese/Maxican/Indian] workers" than you do Amercian workers, why don't you move to [China/Mexico/India]? And, why don't you care more about American workers?
And, tell me, what is going to happen to those "[Chinese/Mexican/Indian] workers" when Americans can no longer buy the things they produce because Americans and America are too far in debt to pay for them? You do understand that eventually, China is going to stop buying American debt and when that happens, interest rates will rise, and inflation will skyrocket, and the value of the dollar is going to fall faster than you can imagine, right? Can you imagine 500% inflation? How about 100% inflation per day? That is the kind of thing that is happening in Zimbabwe and it is what will happen here in the U.S. when China stops buying American debt.
Oh, and it is MEXICAN not MAXICAN.
Finally, I am not a "liberal aka democrat". I am a socially moderate, fiscally conservative Republican. I believe that the Federal government has over-stepped its bounds as defined by the Constitution. I also believe the Constitution is a living document and should be modified to catch up with the times, or possibly even rewritten entirely. And, don't get me started on the Federal Reserve and fiat currency.

But, he wasn't.
Gee, that sounds just like the side effects of Riddlin.
Read the conditions and rules of the contest to see if you are giving the contest holders your code regardless of whether you win or not.
After all, the database has everyone who has been arrested in Hillsborough county for the last 10 years.
Try putting in a booking date and only a booking date and then clicking the Inquire button. You will see everyone booked on that day.
1 billion gallons / 150,000,000 (guesstimate of the average population of the US over the 42 years) / 42 years /365 days = .000438 gallons per person per day.
No, you generally don't have to go through a procedure to access it. As an example, check out the arrests in Hillsborough County Florida.
Not public domain, public record. There is a difference. Try learning it.

The arrest itself is public record, as is the name and mugshot of the arrested party.

"( )" does not mean mystery number. A letter denotes an unknown "mystery" number. Parentheses mean "solve the contained formula first".
So, when and where did you learn that "( )" meant "an unknown quantity" because I never learned that in any school I attended.
It was not readily apparent to me, but then I prefer to use standard algebraic notation. To me "( )" could mean anything as it has not defined meaning.
Can't be because if that were the case, they would have used standard algebraic notation and used, as you did, a letter.
