How did he get there? What are the causes of child sexual molestation, which is committed against perhaps 20 percent of girls and 5 to 10 percent of boys under the age of consent in the United States, according to David Finkelhor, the director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. (Finkelhor, who has examined the studies extensively, added that the numbers range widely from 10 to 40 percent for girls and 2 to 15 percent for boys, depending on definitions and methods.
Well, I guess I was an ugly kid. Nobody even attempted that on me. Now I'm an adult, and I can't get another adult to:-(
in a sample of nearly 200 university males, 21 percent reported some sexual attraction to small children.'' Specifically, ''9 percent described sexual fantasies involving children, 5 percent admitted to having masturbated to sexual fantasies of children and 7 percent indicated they might have sex with a child if not caught.
So 5% masturbated after thinking about it... and 7% said they might do it if not caught? I'd think those numbers would be reversed. 7% masturbated, 5% would if caught.
Just sounds strangely wrong. Even the way it's explained.
Green wrote as well of the work done in 1970 by the researchers Kurt Freund and R. Costell. Forty-eight Czech soldiers were hooked to a ''penile responsivity'' meter known as a plethysmograph. Viewing a series of slides, ''28 of 48 showed penile response to the female children age 4-10.''
FYI plethysmograph is the Slashdot word of the day.
On a sidenote, weren't some UN peacekeeping soldiers from that region accused of sexual abuse in Africa not to long ago?
He rushed for the waist-high fence that divides the sand from the parking lot. He couldn't get his bearlike body over it cleanly; he wound up stuck, sitting on it and crushing it. Sometime later he showed me the place of his flight, where the fence remained bent. It wasn't hard for me to picture him caught there, between the safe and the terrifying.
In Connecticut as I recall, if you don't report criminal activity(vandalism), you can be charged...
I'm curious what the deal was with this. And if there will be charges of vandalism. Especially considering he's already got a parole officer on his ass.
Anyone else think this image of the new robot/soldier looks like Johnny 5?

Is it running Darwin (insert darwinism joke here)?
It could broadcast what it's eyes/camera's see via a QuickTime Stream. It's voice can be done using text to speach. It can even sing (better than the movie) thanks to iTunes.
I can get someone with your level of education for 1/5 what I would need to pay you.
They will do more work, and don't need benefits.
And no, CS dudes typically make signifigantly less than MIS, who makes it up to management. The difference as I recall was last estimated at an average of about 25-40k/yr.
When I entered, i was able to narrow down in a fraction of a second my choices:
- Business MIS - Computer Science
I went with Business MIS for several reasons:
1. Outsourcing is there to stay, like it or not. They outsource programmers, but managment will likely stay put. MIS wins
2. MIS has more room to grow into upper management in stable companies. MIS wins
3. MIS has a signifigant business background, and can be applied to non-technology industries if needed. MIS wins.
In the end, I decided MIS (obviously). While I consider myself a geek, I love UNIX, I love coding, I used Mozilla since "milestones" (even have cvs account on mozilla.org). I run my own server in my home, had WiFi for years already....
yea, I'm a geek. CS would seem obvious.
But I also want to move up in a company. CS gives virtually no preperation towards moving beyond senior programmer. So it's pretty much a dead end unless you work for a company who doesn't really put value on it's own management (assuming such a company lasts long enough for you to move up).
I still geek it up. I made it my personal business to learn and keep up on CS.
But I think my MIS career path will leave me with many more options in the future. I see it already.
IMHO adoption will pick up when 1.1 is released and some of these fixes take place.
1.1 will also have a MSI, which will make it easier for corporations to deploy Firefox to computers within their organization. That will allow for more Firefox gains.
If the American Public can't monitor the FBI to ensure they are doing their job... and doing it correctly... who will?
Internal Affairs? HA! That's a laugh.
IMHO it's a fundimental right for Americans to see that their tax dollars are being used efficiently and Federal Employees are doing their job.
If you run a business, I dare you to tell your investors they don't get to look at your operations anymore. They will pull the plug quicker than you can end that sentence.
Unfortunately, us tax payers can't end the FBI that easily.
This is a key aspect of preventing abuse.
They exist to serve us we don't serve them.
Americans ahve the right to make sure they are doing their job.
I have a few Macs, but mine have aged a bit. I program a bit. I'm an overall Mac Geek!
I also contribute to mozilla in my free time.
My main workstation these days is an IBM thinkpad... not my beloved Mac's. Because I need it for school, and for CPU (it's faster than my current Mac's)
I really want a Mac Mini so I can work with Mac OS X again. It's a cheap way for me to use my beloved Mac's on my tiny desk. Get a 17 inch display... perhaps upgrade the HD to a 120GB drive.
IMHO that is why this machine rocks. A simple way to get a decent Mac.
I'm drooling looking at it. The idea of having a sexy mac mini on my desk just makes me salivate.
Bush wants the US to push towards mars (or at least that's what he claims to want).
But in the process, lets scrap perhaps the most successful space venture in human history.
Hubble has been the greatest achievement in NASA's history. Far from the high profile Moon Landing. but it's the better achievement:
1. Has made millions interested in space, and sciences through it's absolutely breathtaking images. 2. One of the greatest feats of engineering servicing that thing. 3. It's been reliable and usable for YEARS
IMHO it more than earned a repair, and an upgrade.
It's been NASA's true achievement. The mars rovers have been great, they did a lot. But nothing has outperformed like Hubble.
It's amazing. When news comes out that spyware is in a program.... it has no impact on it's usage.
IMHO I avoid this crap. You know exactly what your getting:
1. It includes spyware (a real sign of a legitimate company). 2. Allegedly bought rights to suprnova name, so it can call itself the successor 3. How is this change legality? Now rather than attack 1 site, and a handful of people, lawyers will be able to easily go after a giant web of users in a P2P network. This doesn't give anyone immunity. If anything it makes more people share liability.
IMHO this product is a bit bogus. It smells foul.
I'd caution people to think twice on this one, and consider what they are getting into.
Hate to break it to you, but Apple's iWork, or AppleWorks doesn't even come close.
It's fine for kids doing homework, or a casual home user...
but in terms of interoperability... it stinks.
Business people can't afford to spend time dealing with "iWorks doesn't support _______".
End users are *not* geeks. They want simple equvilants. iWork is not an equivilant.
It's a good product. But it's not an office product.
Apple *needs* an office product. It's essential to it being viewed as a productive platform for anyone who interacts with businesses.
There are tons of alternatives to OpenOffice... but it's OpenOffice that keeps Linux at a point where it can be used in the workplace. If OpenOffice didn't exist, Linux would have 0 penetration in the workplace (as a workstation).
OpenOffice is a very good product. It's been a giant blessing for Linux. Apple can use that reliability too. Microsoft isn't guaranteed to keep doing Office for the mac.
Apple doesn't want people to think they are locked into MS Office (hope it continues to support Mac OS X).
This way, Apple can say commercial grade alternatives do exist.
Apple's products aren't bad... but lets face it, they target home and educational use. Not a business person who wants to occasionally work from home. Microsoft does have powerful software, despite being buggy and insecure.
IMHO Open Office rocks. Wish Apple would invest in an aquafied port.
1. Your teacher isn't supposed to tell you to stay after class, and lay naked on the desk while she spanks you with a yardstick as you recite the alphabet with an apple in your mouth.
2. Don't drop the soap in the shower after Gym.
3. If you don't get lucky by senior year: become a computer programmer.
4. Sex with the lunch lady doesn't count for #3.

Sony Admits MP3 Error
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Sony IMHO is going into serious trouble.
The mp3 controversy is far from the only thing. It's not even close.
Sony lacks the inovative feel that it used to have. Sony used to be much more bleeding edge. Their designs were cutting edge... but not really any more.
IMHO Apple used to trail them. Now Apple is beyond them.
Sony has been late to the game for quite a few things over the years, then failed. mp3 players, laptops, computers, etc etc.
Their Clie PDA's weren't bad. But didn't quite live up to the Sony Hype. They were just better than Palm and Handspring... like that takes much.
IMHO this isn't the fix. Sony needs to rediscover themselves.
In an age of companies being more inovative (Apple, Samsung, LG, etc.)... time to redraw the box THEN think outside of it.
I was walking in NYC one cold winter day. A week earlier we had a bad sleet storm, and snow. For days after it was bitter cold and wind... the last 24 hours were warmer and windy. A perfect winter day in the big city.
As I was walking, the beginning of doomsday began. The sky started falling. For those who don't know, space is a clear crystalized substance, looking almost like crystalized water of some type. It started falling to the sidewalk, shattering on impact.
The news reporter, at the beckoning of the mayor lied to the public and said it was ice from the roof of a building falling... but I know the truth.
From one point of view, I agree Apple is being a bit of a hardass about this. This isn't the only site leaking news. As I recall Hitachi leaked that Apple signed to purchase 60GB mini drives (now used on iPod photo). One of the IC manufacturers said that Apple signed on some flash memory technology... etc. etc. etc.
I didn't see big lawsuits on those. And lets not forget about Time revealing the new iMac.
on the other hand...
I do believe that Think Secret has been itching to get accurate insider details. And in recent years have had way to much accuracy.
any method under the sun. I can't think of any other news organization so willing to cater to potential informants.
A company does have a right to use Non Disclosure Agreements to keep trade secrets. Every company does it. It's normal business. I can't think of one company that doesn't do it. Even non-profits have to do it.
Soliciting someone to break it isn't ethical. That's the bottom line. And it's not really freedom of speach.
Encouraging someone to commit an illegal act or break a legal agreement isn't good.
Someone who hires a hitman to kill his spouse isn't any better than someone who does it themself. Encouraging people to do your dirty work doen't make you any better than the guilty party.
IMHO this is a pretty simple case... and will likely be settled out of court. I can't see ThinkSecret standing up in court... they have no real defense. This isn't freedom of speach anymore than saying you have a bomb on a plane.
They will settle on undisclosed terms, ThinkSecret will walk away with it's tail between it's legs covering it's severed ball-less scrotum.
Thinksecret will re-invent itself a bit, and stay clear of this activity... all will be happy.
There not going to court. ThinkSecret can't be that stupid. They have no defense that won't cause a judge to (literally) laugh at them.
It's a pretty cool campaign. Odds are you'll end up with something if you buy 3 pepsi's (or other products). And just that 1 chance gets you a bunch of chances at a free iPod mini.
The iPod is branded for Pepsi... so you can most likely get a little extra for it on eBay... since there's a lot of coke/pepsi collectors out there.
That is if you don't want (or already have) an iPod.

Firefox 1.1 is going to be based on the trunk. So it's got a few rendering fixes.
1.1 also contains some decent enhancements.

Sorry, but I have to say mp3 streaming is crappy. Just because most players support it, doesn't make it good.
AAC is indeed better.
I just wish the general public would download newer players that supported things like Vorbis, AAC.
But unfortunately,
mp3 = music file
Not "format of music file". but "music file". If it's not mp3, it's not a music file.
I think step 1 is to get rid of this carma that mp3=audio. make mp3=old audo format.
Until we do that... mp3 will be sticking around, and sucking.

Could it be it was done because Apple engineers are sick of hearing someone with rediculus bass driving down the road when they are trying to sleep?
Maybe they did it so they don't have to hear:
thud, thud thud..
every time someone with an iPod comes walking.
If I were a car manufacturer... that would be my motivation for better soundproofing. To stop people from being so annoying.
