Perhaps, but the rate of conviction (aside from dismissals based on technicalities (improper procedure)) on the list of crimes I made (and DUI was one of the ones stated in the submission) is rather high.
I don't see how this would be any different then televising the proceedings (which given the money the local court systems need now-a-days, might not be a bad idea). This way if someone is innocent and can prove it, or is guilty and is convicted, you have a more public venue (cable access, sell some advertising (no recesses for commercial breaks, but perhaps a voice-over recap of what happened), and bam, you have real reality television).
I disagree. You get arrested by a public law enforcement agency, have a public trial, and essentially no rights (depending on the crime).
While I'm not for the police state, I do believe that those convicted of a crime need to have their mugshots put up, especially for the following crimes:
DUI/DWI (doc, specifically Colorado's numbers but I imagine the true holds same in TN given the number of those in court for it repeatedly) Pedophilia Rape (pdf, specifically Deleware's statistics) Murder (pdf, Washington state) Scam/Con
People should know who you are and what your proclivities are. In the above cases you should expect no right to privacy after your first conviction (recidivism in these crimes is high, see links and also this document on recidivism).
I couldn't find numbers for scammers/con artists, though I'm sure they don't give up after their first arrest either. If anyone could find national averages it would be appreciated. All the above docs referred to national averages that I didn't turn up in my searches (search term: <crime> recidivism)
Also, they still don't all look alike (though the Writer/Math icons do look very similar, all the rest are still readily identifiable). Are you using a B&W screen?
No, but your citation is nothing more than a smart-aleck response to my request for a citation. I shouldn't have to be the one searching as I'm not the one making a claim (in this case, that murder isn't the only crime without a statute of limitation). While it does turn out you are correct, espionage has no statute of limitations (and it is statute, not statue (I am probably guilty of that misspelling as well)), your response was inherently smart-alecky.
I just updated OOo and I must say, I actually like the new splash screen better than Sun's (the Oracle logo not-withstanding). potato/potato (you can't really get that across in text-based mediums, unfortunately).
Creating light from matter is rather ordinary in terms of physics, as can be seen in nuclear explosions. But the SLAC experiment was the first to produce the opposite, and while the effect had been expected for some 50 years, the equipment hadn't existed to test it experimentally. It is known amongst physicists as creating "spark in a vacuum." When the electromagnetic field has enough energy, light becomes matter as a positron-electron pair is produced.

I don't know what icons you are looking at. I just installed the update last night, and in my start menu they are color coded.
agreed
I don't know if I'd define it as harassment. Definitely not a good thing to do so on just an arrest.

True, true.

Oh, that would work. Thanks!

That box has been there for over a year (I've only had my account for over a year, so...)
That's wrong. Seriously and epically wrong. lol
Agreed, just the submission sucked and the blog entry was horribly written.
smart aleck.
Citation needed.
Well played, rts008, well played indeed. (:
I didn't say they weren't horrendously long, and the Swiss have already said they wouldn't deport him (which is criminal in and of itself).
Also, I am curious about that myself. Makes you wonder if they haven't changed the rules on us.
From The Fine Article:
I always thought the angle of redirection was closer to 45 degrees as they shot out from the Death Star at approximately 45 degrees. :p
Only Spinal Tap goes up to 11!
Someone needs to get the SW Technical Journal. ;)
I did read the article. Read further comments in a previous thread, genius.
the only crime that has no end to the statute of limitations is murder.
Unfortunately you are entirely correct.
You know you've made the big time when the Big O goes after ya through diplomatic channels. :p
