Correlation is not causality. Look into rates regarding fidelity, lack of abuse and lack of molestation cases...almost every time there is a massive porn trail. Porn is a massive industry because all walks of life support it. Pedophiles might like pr0n, but if there was no pr0n, would there be more or less pedophiles? Or would pedophiles still be pedophiles regardless of their pr0n access? Of those pedophiles, would more less or the same commit more less or the same acts of molestation? I suspect you don't know. Because, as I understand it, the studies don't exist.
This is like the 20th Ask Slashdot bitching about the nonpermanence of DVDs and requesting an alternative. If slashdot hasn't answered the question before, it isn't going to answer it now.
It is proven that milk(excessive) will kill you. Anything taken to extremes has the potential to be bad. However, concerning the question of negative consequences of porn, according to Penn & Teller: Bullsh!t (Not exactly a peer reviewed journal, but it's on the top of my head), "the studies just don't exist."
I dunno, did you ever see that episode of the Sopranos that was put together after the actress that played Tony's mom died? I involuntarily shudder every time I see they way they tacked her head into the scene.
I would buy so many more games if they offered instant load-state save-state features like my beloved emulators. That's what immediately drew me to Braid. That game is genius. This post is hype.
Apple does check the age, just not the way the aussie overlords want. They feel, "Damnit, Apple, 15 year olds should be able to watch V for Vendetta, so I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" So is it Apple's job to work out the rating system and age correlation for every country?
Yeah summary is confusing. iTunes won't let kids get R rated movies, but Aussies rate some R movies as "slightly less than R", so they feel kids should have access to them. 16 year olds, for example, should only be restricted from the reeely R and NC-17 movies, according to them.
I'm pretty sure you understand this, but just in case, to clarify, a lobotomy disconnects the frontal lobe, which has nothing to do with the interpretation of pain signals. If a lobotomy worked, it'd be very convenient because it's a comparatively simple procedure (at one point, some were doing it just by jamming an icepick up inside the eye). As far as a total coma-like vegetative state, personally, I'd rather my meat be conscious first. Vegetative food seems a great deal to "Matrixy" for my pallet.
Good, someone beat me to this. Now did that Milliways creature have a name? I can't recall, but if it did, the article should totally be tagged as such.
I want to make a specifically evil corporation now, just to prove you wrong. I'd put it in my mission statement on the incorporation papers and everything. What's a $200 fee, when it means I can put "Founded and lead a ministry for the promulgation of evil" on my resume? I bet I could get people to buy stock just so they could stay they have stock in evil!
Big Blue has been a profit driven beast for over 50 years. They used to scold employees for not using garters to hold up their socks. I can't imagine any universe where IBM was on any other side.
At 147+ comments, I don't yet see a single horrible joke about Gallahger, or a retarded racist stereotype yet. Yes, there are the standard racists troll posts, but none making use of the obvious watermelon reference.

Agreed. Tagged article with "stopaskingthis".

This was exactly my conclusion from the summary.
Yeah, just like the laser, what has that ever done for us? Other than provide stylish accessories for sharks, of course.
A cited fact on Wikipedia would disagree with you. The good old days were never that good.
I dunno, did you ever see that episode of the Sopranos that was put together after the actress that played Tony's mom died? I involuntarily shudder every time I see they way they tacked her head into the scene.
"Auto-Tune" is a trademarked program from Antares Audio Technologies. And yes, it can do the effects from that video.

Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of those? :-)
Thank you Internet. You are predictable. And I love it.

Artsy goatse...Try saying that 5 times fast...right now...and don't worry, your cubicle neighbors won't question it.

You obviously weren't around when the killer ones attacked. I say good riddance.
To quote Monty Python, "You could call me Harold." "I didn't know you were called Harold." "Well, you didn't ask, did you?"

I love this idea. I propose a new slogan: "IBM, we're dicks so the good-guys can one-up us."

The early 90s called, they want their modem back.
Thank you. I never could figure out why Websense considers bash.org "tasteless"...I so can't say that sentence without laughing.
