Side effect of your algorithm in C would be setting applicant.wanted_for_crime to false>7b>.

Comes as an outcome of not distinguishing between = and ==

Now all criminals had better apply :-)

Well, but please avoid Italy, France and the UK. You would be surprised at how bigmouthed, dimwit and insane we Europeans could possibly be.

Italian politicians may be complaining about bad judges all the times, but they must be grateful to them. Hadn't they been so utterly servile towards the powerful, the current dictator would have been in jail. Italian law system ROUTINELY saved his bacon though DECADES.

Italian judges ruled that a bank transfer (proven) from Berlusconi's firm to a judge did not amount to corruption (and absolved the judge, currently in office, in the equivalent of the Supreme Court) because THAT did not prove that the judge had changed his sentence in order to favor Berlusconi's business over a competitor. It was deemed that Berlusconi "could not be deemed responsible for the actions of his employees" and that "he might not have known.".

Italian judicial system is plainly shameless, the worst sentences are normally rewarded by means of career as magistrates and up to political service (eg. the infamous absolution sentence for Pinelli murder in the 70's was actually the launch pad for the career of that judge, currently a senator of the republic.).

They purposely only condemned Berlusconi when they were absolutely sure that the sentence was moot because of expiry of terms. This is only typical in Italy. You only have to fear the law if you are poor (being innocent does not matter).

If you are a member of the corrupt leading elite you can safely consider legal proceedings annoying and maybe costly, but without real danger.

Wrong solution. Corrupt Italian POLITICIANS deserve to have any filter on queries and human imposed intervention related to their queries removed. 1) Guess who searched for "corrupt " 2) Do you really think who sued Google was not known to be _Corrupt_ in the first place? Google should ban ITALIAN GOVERNMENT IP addresses from service, same they do with hostile third world countries. *THAT* would give the message.

Well, I simply fail to understand why your comment was moderated to Insightful, it should be modded down, for the following reason. According to this line of thought, sexual tourism is just fine, provided the culture of the third world country you are visiting is not "advanced enough" to embrace our modern western values. Unfortunately, there are minimal ethical principles which should always be enacted, towards anyone. Not encouraging corruption, violation of basic human rights are among those. Considering your intervention "insightful" is justifying the same immoral cynicism that led to Abu Graib: provided they don't catch you and you can get away with it, if you have power, anything goes. Lack of ethics is never insightful, is just a form of short sightedness, failing to understand long term consequences of actions.
