An increase in rape incarceration rates isn't neccesarily indicative of an increase in the incidence of rape itself. That could have occured due to a variety of factors. Some examples include: more zealous prosection of rape crimes, more immediately forthcoming victims, and jury members more willing to pass guilty verdicts.
Furthermore, looking at the graph, the reported occurence of rape continued to decline even after the methodology was changed. Therefore, it would be possible to infer that rates still fell during that time period-- barring the possibility that the change in procedure somehow caused the sampling data to become less and less reflective of the population's actual data over time, which is unlikely.
I'm not exactly saying you're wrong when you say pornography demeans and objectifies women, and causes the men who view it to become more disposed to comitting rape. I'm just saying that this data can in fact provide evidence to the contrary.
This looks pretty cool. As far as the ergonomic feasibility of it goes, I'm trying to think about how to hold this without fatiguing my arms. Elbow on stomach? Wrist on Mid-thigh? What does everyone think?
Proving ideas infeasible doesn't by any means constitute failure. Technological research (and research in general) can be just as valuable when showing what CAN'T be done as it is when showing what CAN be done. The guy has contributed to human progress, as far as I'm concerned. Civilization isn't a pissing contest.
It's not my intention to knock Gnome, but I think it future releases could have a more all-ecncompassing set of system configuration tools, like KDE has. Maybe I'm just not digging well enough, or am using too old of a version, but Gnome has always seemed to pale to K in that regard. KDE is frigging ugly though. We live in a world of trade-offs, I guess.

I believe the folk at solar PC deal in hardware that can address the power issue.
What happens when one falls through the Kerr ring is matter of debate, eh? If you ask me, only one man is tough as nails to find out, and that man is SNAKE PLISSKEN. He's already ESCAPED from post-apocalyptic Los Angeles and New York, the universe should be no problem. He'll kick blue-shifted light's ass, using nothing but a big knife and his gruff biker inflection.
Yeah, but why do that at all, why not just motion capture it and let future generations learn from the CG? Or just videotape it, for that matter. Christ.:)
Bad religion did a similiar thing when they released their New America album back in 2000. Everyone who bought a copy got a free ticket to one of their shows. Great idea.
I'd think that this was a really shady iniative on India's part if not for the fact that they're probably going to use the money to feed their nations many starving.
Wow. This is the first time I've seen the airing of a piece of blatant, unapologetic propaganda directed at children since the World War 2 era. Sure, it's been around to a certain extent since then, but always in a very underhanded, not-so-easy-to-detect form. You've got to hand it to the content-direction people at Disney, they must have balls the size of tank bearings to pull a stunt like this. I honestly don't know whether to be appalled or impressed.

You know, i see a lot of people talk about how slow and awful gnutella is, but i really haven't noticed anything wrong with it, in fact, it seems to run a little bit faster than Napster. And i run a 56k modem!
Not once has gnutella run slow for me, and many of my song searches have yielded me more results than Napster.
Well maybe I'm an idiot, but I think I'll take the same posistion on Gnutella's crapiness as the american people took on a possible electoral college fuck-up: I'll believe it when I see it. ----------------------------------

I may not agree with your wanking off to DVDA furry porn, but I will defend to the death your right to wank to it.

The underlying cause of this statistic can be resolved by employing the following simple thought experiment:

That's not true. If we use solar or wind power to generate the hydrogen, then it IS pollution free.
