The Road to Deportation Includes Flat Screen TVs

courthouse.jpgEven as The Road to Deportation continues -- more on this when as it becomes legal for me to actually write about -- I'm heartened by good news: the new Olympic Village Court is open for trial.

It's got 11 courtrooms, seating for 247 people and will cover "a judicial area of 57.22 square km."  Judge Judy -- heck, some American cell phone companies -- would love to have that kind of coverage area.

Here's what I'm really excited about.  That image above is of an actual courtroom, and in particular, those flat-screen TVs are sticking out at me.  Chinese blog Danwei's already asking what you're thinking:

Xinhua's website also shows flat-panel television screens flanking the judge's bench in at least one courtroom--perhaps so that plaintiffs won't have to miss the Games.

If that's the case, I've got another question for you: if a man is being sentenced in the waning seconds of the 4x100 meter dash, but everyone's too busy watching the event on TV to notice, does the sentence still count?

    I wanted to know if using antivirus firewall is part of the training in technology classes in middle schools. I am concernd that even though teaching with computers is very common the training to healthy network safety practices lacks.
