overall, violent crime in the US has been on the decline since 1993.
interesting coincidence: the decline started the year DOOM was released, one of the first widespread, graphically violent games.
and a proven statistic: the higher the unemployment, the higher the crime rate. does this mean we can make bad economic policy illegal too?

Java IDEs?

what i sometimes look for an editor/ide is if it *doesn't* have the features i *don't* want. i really don't want an integrated java debugger, or code browser, or other things i consider bloat.
that's what i liked about EditPlus, it was configurable, bare-bones, and cheap.
i moved to jEdit earlier this year. it's highly configurable, the plugins are a brilliant concept (just get the components i want!) and something that most don't point out is: there's actually a major advantage to this editor being written in Java....
...and that advantage is BeanShell. beanshell is basically a java interpreter written in... java. it may sound silly at first, but this means you can script jEdit components at runtime without compiling. manipulate text, communicate with plugins, write your do-it-all ultimate macro, or just execute that java math expression you want to test out. it's also a great "scratchpad" for trying out code snippets to see if you get the results you expect, without having to create a class/static main method, compile, etc. just type in a few lines of code and go.
check out the jedit plugins here (i wish there was a cvs plugin! anyone care to do a port?)
see the jedit community page (experimental plugins, lots of beanshell macros, etc) here
