I invite them to do so... It just means I'll not hesitate to shoot the fucker that tries to mug me, since I won't have to worry about being arrested for self defense.
What, like the 6 time felon who knocks off his 7th convenience store and finally panics and shoots the guy behind the counter? Heck, in my world the guy behind the counter would have shot the mutherfucker on time #1.
My mother was in the legal profession, the father of one of my best friends growing up was a Lieutenant in the police force. I've been around lawyers, judges and cops a lot. And I never EVER heard any of them say anything about preventing or deterring crime. It was never their motivation or their intent. They always talked about punishing the offenders... Which doesn't really help the victims any does it?
According to some books my wife has out for a class project the demographic with the most rapes seems to be males of either race between the ages of 17 and 25, slightly favoring poorer income levels for violent rape and middle and higher income levels for 'date rape' style rape.
Off to antarctica then you Jaywalking bastard! Oh, and if you've ever driven 1mph over the speed limit, or if you've ever taken anything that wasn't yours, for any reason, or any of a dozen other petty meaningless crimes, then off to atarctica with you!
I've held the view that police officers are useless for quite some time now. I've never seen a cop deter a crime, I've never heard of one actually managing to do anything useful that a group of citizens could not have done equally as well. All cops really do is harass speeders and stalk teenagers around the mall in their off hours. They clean up the mess that's made after some punk splatters your brains all over the sidewalk for 17$, but that doesn't help you. We should liquidate the police force and dump the money into education in the inner cities, revitalization of the inner cities, and REAL urban renewal, not the "bulldoze the affordable housing and put up 1500$/month apartments" urban renewal. Maybe complete liquidation of the police force is too much.... Just remove the entire War on Drugs section, that should probably do it... Then you can legalize drugs and regulate and tax them... A ton more income right there...

It's seriously pathetic and sad that being a non-white male makes you an almost instant criminal suspect in our country. And a large segment of the population finds nothing wrong with that.
As a matter of curiosity, what software do you use to backup Databases? My predecessor used Dump it seems, but I don't like dump. Problem is, I can't find anything else to replace it for the database. I'm using TAR for the normal backups... But WTF can I do to back the database up?
What I am saying is that people have problems that are inadvertantly created by our society, of which you and I are both a part. If either of us owns computer hardware of any kind, then we are partly to blame for these conditions.
Ummm, no. The US has very very little influence on how China develops. We aren't hindering their development and we aren't helping it. They have a HUGE country filled with natural resources. They have a corrupt government and a bunch of people. None of those have been caused by the US, in fact, China has been that way since before the US existed. We aren't creating problems for China, they have their own problems that have nothing to do with us.
I only do the occasional crossword, usually the ones in newspapers contain 3-5 really irritating pop-culture items that I don't know... I prefer wordsearches, doing them on a clock, give myself 3-4 seconds per word and see how well I can do.
I still occasionally see an 'Opera Comic' banner come across. So I actually do pay attention to the Opera add banners. Whenever a new one pops up I glance at it. Sometimes they catch my attention and I click on them. I think Opera is the only thing I use where I actually click on banners....
What about something like Flash or similar formats? I've fallen in love with those tiny keychain devices that you plug into USB ports and they act as little HDs... Just great for carrying stuff around.
Considering his profession I doubt they'll be able to push him around. I also imagine he has more manpower at his disposal than most medium sized lawfirms. So if they REALLY want to go at him someone is going to have a heck of a fight on their hands.
I'm running OpenOffice on a 533mhz celeron with 128mb of RAM and it runs just great, I also have the quickstart feature disabled, so the only slow thing is the startup time.
Eh, 10-15% of the games make up 10% of the video game sales? Why is that skewed? Seems pretty reasonable to me. I bet the other 80 percent are copies of Solitare and Mahjong... However of the games sold to kids between 12 and 17 I imagine M rated games are more like 60%. And I bet 59% of those are purchased for the kids by adults or with the adults consent.
I think shakespeare got it right with the English language, Iambic Pentameter flows REALLY well with the english language. Not that I can ever remember it well enough to write it.

feel the agony, my haiku is incomplete, four syllables.
The product of such cross species interactions is an animal which is biologically one, but socially and behaviourly another. Dogs which are raised by cows (rather frequent happening on family farms) don't have a lot of the same behaviour patterns as other dogs. Cats who are raised by dogs (I've seen this happen once, dunno if it's common) also have some strange behaviours. Yes, they will be biologically whatever it is they are, but their behaviour will be completely different. So this mammoth project can teach us a lot about the biology of Mammoths, but not much about their bahviour.
We're using Tomcat on servers here to replace PHP on Apache. Eventually we're going to phase out Apache and use just Tomcat. It works great except for one tiny thing for us, there's no equivelant to htaccess. Which makes setting up restricted parts of our website a tiny bit annoying. But once you get the hang of the xml config files it's pretty easy. As for robustness, one of the sites we run it on gets a few hundred thousand hits to the same 3 or 4 webapps. I think it's great. But I can't give out the company name.
Spiked Chainmail. With padlocks. Get your kids some chainmail with 6 inch razor sharp spikes and padlock it on them. No one will be abusing/molesting them then! That's for sure.
