The trick with that is what was the ratio of attacks stopped versus the number of people "looked" at?

In the UK their is a current debate on random stop and search used by police. The noticeable point is that it is 9% effective in finding someone doing something wrong.

So if the police stop and search 100 cars they find 9 people who are breaking the law.

Sorry, but you're wrong with those numbers. If the police stopped and searched 100 cars, and all 100 of those people were breaking the law, they find 9 people who are breaking the law.

In reality you would have to stop 1000s of cars before you caught 9 people breaking the law.

I think the OP is assuming that the set of criminal *statues* is small and they are concretely defined. Just California has over 34000 intentionally ambiguos *statues* in its penal code. So there is absolutely no way for a common citizen to live a life that doesn't violate a single one of those *statues*. California passes statutes and then has a statue made to represent each of these statutes? And then those poor statues are violated as well? It's a good thing I don't live there. Also, they might be able to cut back on their budget problems if they just stopped making all these damn statues.

Comment Stupid SAPGui (Score 1) 72

This might explain why they make it so ridiculously difficult to download the SAPGui. There was a time when they had it available on their FTP site. Now you need a OSS ID just to download the GUI. Of course the OSS ID supplied through my employer doesn't allow me to download and install the GUI. Thus, each time I get a new laptop it's a regular pain in the butt to get the latest version installed. Just let me download the damn thing already! If anybody knows if a simple easy place to download the latest SAPGui then please let me know. (Check out my slashdot name - I work with this stuff every day and I honestly can't figure out why they want to hide the GUI from anybody.)
