But if you have *real* crimes on record then you probably shouldn't be in the business of educating children, don't you think? I really fail to see what the big deal is in this particular case...
Either Americans are way more efficient at doing the same background checks that AU/UK do, or AU/UK are doing something extraordinarily more over-arching, anal-retentive & bureaucratic.
My vote is on over-arching bureaucratic anal-retentiveness.
To work in a licensed dayschool, my wife had to get fingerprinted, so the state could do a criminal background check, and show a copy of her birth certificate (presumably to prove that she's not an illegal alien).
But before they decided to get licensed in order to be open a full day, she worked at that same school for 8 years.
then we got a bunch of parents out there that are liable to be arrested and taken to jail for taking shots of their little kids bathing or running around nekkid...
Yes, it's a joke, but the valid answer is "video". One month with alt.binaries.classic.tv.shows and alt.binaries.dvdr, plus Turner Classic Movies with a DVR that has a DVD-R burner will fill up 500GB at my ISP's throttled nntp speed.
My kids really like Gomer Pyle, and I'm sure they'll love Get Smart.
2. International terrorism is primarily a military - NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT - matter. Its roots are in a conflict against governments and people as a whole, not against individuals, thus putting it in the realm of the military.
This I've got to partly disagree with, since GWOT needs a lot of detective work, and also a lot of spy work. The DIA would need to be greatly expanded, poaching in on the CIA's turf, and needing to learn investigative techniques from the FBI.

I'm all for power, but someone who chooses Slack or regular Debian over Ubuntu is probably the type who likes hot wax poured on their balls.
It is patently obvious that you don't know what you are talking about. Debian Unstable is so robust and configure-everything-for-you that I've forgotten-thru-disuse much of the manual tinkering knowledge I gained back when I used "newbie-friendly" Mandrake.
and what's even worse? Now you can't even get drunk on an airplane for fear of 20 years in federal prison if your actions someone arbitrarily considers a "disturbance." So they've done everything they can to make flying an unpleasant experience and now the government steps in and forces us to do it sober!
Exercising self-control in public is not too much to ask.
database work needs a somewhat different thought process than programming, and people who have trouble with one often do much better with the other.
The DBAs that I know who aren't (or weren't, at one time, before they moved over to db management) good programmers, and can't bang out a quick program when necessary, are just not very good DBAs. Too rigid in their thinking.
IMHO, that is what a CS degree should do. A little programming is fine, but I'd be loath to respect any CS degree that focussed on programming.
What elitist crap.
The small state school I got my CompSci degree from made us write a set of programs to demonstrate every algorithm they taught us. And that "programming degree has served me and my family very well over the years.
Reinstall, insert tape, rewind... tape snaps. We do a restore from the other, older tape, and a bunch of critical data is missing.
This is why we verify that our restore procedures work correctly, and the tapes aren't squirrelly, by doing quarterly database restores to scratch disks.
Thus, I sleep well knowing that our data is, in fact, safe.

It varies. Today, many states have an automatic 'fear for life/SBH' for an intruder in your house. In Texas, during hours of darkness, felony theft on your property may be responded to by deadly force. If they're in your house, you may respond with deadly force at any time.
What does the amount of ambient natural light have to do with whether someone breaks into your home or not?
In Louisiana, if someone breaks or pushes their way into your home or car, you are fully justified in shooting them. There will, of course, be a police investigation, but that's just to ensure that the person you shot really is a Bad Guy, and not your girlfriend's ex-boyfriend.
He would have been better off with first degree murder in my home country, he could receive 21 years at the most for it. 38 years is just so insane that if you don't understand that it is insane, you should see a shrink.
Did you miss the part where he is charged with 69 FELONIES, including burglary and receiving stolen property?
Anyway, there's no way he'll be in prison more than 7 years.
one robbery, fire, or natural disaster and everything's gone forever.
Well, duh, you don't leave them at home!!! Leave it at your parents' house the next time you go for Sunday Dinner.
then we're back to "what format?
Something with very little loss of information. DV if possible, or high-bitrate MPEG2. After all, 750GB drives sell for US$100 at Newegg (or at least they did a few days ago).

it's the software, video, and music that gets shared in the alt.* hierarchy, too.
That's basically the first thing I thought of: Cuomo in be with {RI,MP}AA and using child porn as a smokescreen.

they're just waiting for even more public outcry before they feel comfortable going after a deeply entrenched civil service beurocracy.
Interesting (and hopefully successful) tactic.

True, for a certain set of "we".

Well, no. That would defeat the purpose of geo-IP.
And how'd it get like that in the first place?
Your ISP probably told them.
