Point taken -- how about:

I put a bunch of things in my driveway (think "free" garage sale) along with a sign that says "please take whatever you want". I mistakenly include sexually graphic pictures of my wife in the stuff I've put on display. You find them and take pictures of them with your smartphone, then show them to your friends -- should I be able to charge you with theft (or some other crime?) because you should have known that I didn't intend to give those away?"

In other words I left my front door unlocked, this doesn't give you the right to go in and snoop around and take my stuff, you CAN however report to me and the newspaper that my door is unlocked.

Isn't the analogy more "If I put a bunch of things in my driveway (think "free" garage sale) along with a sign that said "please take whatever you want", but mistakenly put some of my wife's cherished possessions on display, should I be able to charge you with theft for taking my wife's things?"

You more-or-less have it, but the key is that you can't be compelled to provide witness/evidence against yourself when your liberty is at jeopardy (not sure of the exact legal phrasing).

This leads to situations where a defendant can invoke the Fifth Amendment and not testify to a particular issue at trial, but if he/she is given immunity from prosecution (in one form or another) can be compelled to testify to the same issue (with further refusals to testify met by an open-ended contempt of court charge).

Does this article (or this one) help at all?

Are you sure about that?

I've wondered about this myself and have asked a lawyer about it, my understanding is that (as stated on the Wiki page below) the Fifth Amendment only applies to criminal cases (not civil, hence allowing a civil case after criminal case, e.g. O.J. Simpson). Even in criminal cases, again my understanding is that the limitation only applies to a particular sovereign (?), i.e. you could be found not guilty of a crime in state court, but still stand trial for that in federal court. Further, re trying the same civil case over-and-over, my understanding is that anyone can sue anyone, but it does have to pass a few hurdles before actually getting tried (e.g. you probably have to get a lawyer to agree that the case has merit, then have to get a court to accept it along the same lines and agree to run the trial -- my guess is that at some point the court could refuse to accept it, perhaps even penalizing the petitioner with a monetary fine of some sort?).

And missing their exit and backing up on the shoulder...

And unfortunately your kids will probably drive just like you, adding to the hammerhead population that refuses to drive in the right lane.

Isn't correlation more an indicator of things the insurance company should investigate re establishing a plausible link to causation? Otherwise they'd be chasing blips in data, e.g. if over some period Virgos (Virgoes ?) had half as many accidents as those born under other astrological signs, would you expect insurance companies to incorporate that into their pricing models?

Maybe for "slashmongs" like yourself who apparently don't get the (not-so-subtle) difference between causation and correlation?

Insurance companies certainly care about causation, not simply correlation, e.g. if they instituted a "what did you have for breakfast monitor" and found that 20% of their driving population sample ate Brand X cereals before having an accident (aha! correlation!), I doubt they'd offer discounts for households that swore off Brand X cereal.

About the same for me (though I think I stopped cursive in high school), except for one instance when to make some extra $$ during college I signed up to be a UPS "seasonal driver's helper" (i.e. a runner for a package delivery service). During the "training" they had a form where you were asked to write all the letters of the alphabet in upper- and lower-case (in both print and cursive). I had some serious trouble with cursive capitals, was kind of shocking to me at the time that I had forgotten how to produce 4 or 5 letters.

We've all come across users with 40 apps open whining their pc is slow

Likewise, we've all encountered clueless IT departments who force apps onto work PCs that suck the life out of them (e.g. anti-virus crap, various drops of MS Kool-Aid the IT dept has bought into, etc.), then on a support call act as if it is the first time anyone has ever complained about the situation.

They can default on bonds they have issued, though, can't they?

Not sure what your profession is, but if your guesses are as poor as the one above I'd suggest some vocational retraining. Let's say that 20 million lines get ported every year, and 2% fall out of the mainstream (i.e. easy) category -- that's 400k orders in need of manual intervention (on both sides of the port, at that), and each order certainly costs a LEC more than $1.25 to process at that point (figuring a fully-loaded cost for tier-2 support of $20/hr at least).
