It always depends on the individual. Some are happy with a surrogate victim, some are not. Some are smart enough to get a "quick fix" through video rather than commit a crime, some are not. Some are raping out of a momentary lapse in judgement, some are not. Without actual data it's hard to tell how many rapists fit into how which category and what kind of impact porn has on them.
If you have a daughter, do you raise her to fight as well? Does pornography neccessarily objectify women or is it possible to have porn that objectifies men as well? Perhaps even in the mainstream?
It might not be intended, but your post does appear to be based on rather traditional gender models. I find it absolutely conceivable that fifteen years down the road men and women will be equally objectified as socially maladjusted women needing to blow off steam after their 50hr work week form an entirely new porn market.
Microsoft programs put the entire original message at the bottom of an email when replying, which wastes space and adds nothing to the conversation. The convention up to them was to reply to specific points below a short excerpt of the relevant part of the original message.
Could you please tell me more about the "bottom posting of email." What is it, and how did MicroSoft mess it up? Thank you.
What, you mean it's not intuitive and useful to have it look like you're replying to my reply to your message?
It shouldn't, but Microsoft has pursued a consistent policy of undermining any attempt at open standards, right down to silly little ones like messing up bottom posting of email.
That depends on how the app is written. An app written entirely in Microsoft's latest version of Dotnet, using DirectX 10 and WPF is not going to be easily ported to, say, Linux; a port would essentialy mean a rewrite from scratch. Similarly, an ObjC/Cocoa app using Growl and Sparkle will require large parts to be rewritten (and several new libraries to be added) in order to work on Windows.
On the other hand, an app written with Gtk/Qt, using backend APIs like SDL and OpenGL might even be compilable on different OSes without changing a single line of code. It all depends on how the app is written, whether you used nonportable elements and how easy those can be separated from the rest of the code.
Well, Linux still has that old Linux kernel and OS X has two old kernels. It all depends on what you do with your old code. Windows 7 can turn out to follow Vista's path of being a DRM platform first and an operating system second. It can turn out to be entirely different, focused on stability above all. It can turn out to be some speed-optimized environment crafted towards maximum GPU efficiency (if only to render the DirectX 11-based GUI). Everything can happen; the fact that NT is old doesn't change that.
Jack Bauer found out where the glass was, who drank the water, and which government they worked for.
Miami's CSI team is still busy determining the water's pH level, checking the glass for DNA samples, upsampling a security recording of the glass to full HD quality, walking around in slow motion and taking off their sunglasses while making painfully dramatic remarks.
Reults are expected in about two days, just in time to stop the half-emptyer from half-emptying another glass of water. And probably shoot him.
Actually, I mentioned Moby Dick as a reference to an experiment that showed how you could read predictions about pretty much everything out of any text. Further information behind this link.
To think that the Borg are so careful to keep their source code secret, yet it could be downloaded from the Bible, is almost as funny as this Zelda thing having its own source code in random padding in the game's image.
If we assum that the universe is infinite we can also probably read a hard disk image of a fully working Windows Vista Ultimate installation along with all greatest hits of several RIAA-owned artists from the background radiation somewhere. We can even do that today, from locally-available data, if we just apply enough transformation steps. Likewise, we can use Moby Dick as an accurate prediction of future (by the time it was written) events, just by fitting the data in there.
Even if the original Torah did contain all knowledge in some kind of compressed form, it would be indistinguishable from random noise and indeed I think that the exact same amount of knowledge could be found in all similarly-sized works of text.
I am of the opinion that courage and stupidity (or insanity) are often only distinguished by viewpoint. It requires balls to stand up to a much larger enemy, that's true. However, it also requires balls to delberately alienate your very customer base in an attempt to generate short-term profits. It also requires balls to mismanage a corporation in order to make more money for yourself.
Like all virtues, courage doesn't always lead to good things and can be possessed by bad people.
Well, both applies. While the RIAA is picking its target carefully in order to avoid starting a fight with someone who can actually fight back, they are rather ballsy for not abandoning their strategy of openly shafting their very customers.
Look at the situation: The internet (easily one of the most influential media today) is full of anti-RIAA sentiments, artists are antagoizing the corporations (like Weird Al with his satiric song "Don't Copy This CD" or Trent Rezor asking his fans to "steal" his CDs because they're absurdly expensive in Australia), alternative business models like iTunes are taking the wind out of the traditional industry's sails. Yet the RIAA members believe themself to be invincible, capable of screwing over the consumer as they see fit.
Corporate execs aren't idiots. They must have noticed by now that their current actions are an absolute PR disaster. In order to carry on as if nothing ever happened they need to have incredibly thick hides.
The only way to introduce something as an alternative to a lethal weapon is to make the rules for lethal weapons apply to the thing. When a cop fires a gun at someone he should be in for some unpleasant paperwork even if the shot didn't hit (it does work like that in Germany). Likewise with a taser: When you tase someone you better be able to give a good reason for it or risk trouble over using unwarranted violence.
Quite honestly, Backstroke was much superior to Revenge. After all, in Revenge we were never told about the original dint and how the Presbyterian Church is involved with everything.
Not that you can't get Chinese in Germany. Or Turkish. Most industrial nations have a rather broad palette of food offerings. No matter where you are, if they take Visa they will also have something suitable for even the pickiest eater.
Except for the fact that your bread sucks (I mean, it's not even gray). And you don't know how to make sausages. And you coat everything with sugar. You don't know how to make proper beer, either. Or chocolate.
Let's just agree that there are a whole lot of standards our there, okay? The fact that fast food is poular around the world doesn't mean that all American cuisine is. Unless American cuisine consists of nothing but fast food, in which case I feel sorry for you.
Yeah, that sentence was the victim of heavy editing. One of their plans has no fees and the other one has free landline calling. (However, when I signed up the free Simyo calls were universal).
That's true, of course. However, starting a mobile branch was the obvious way to go for the former sole telco, thus later-T-Mobile was one of the two companies that got hold of the market first. Looking at the market, T-Mobile and Vodafone are much bigger than O2 and E-Plus. The advantage might not be monopoly-sized, but it is noticable, nontheless.

Porn would be outlawed. Seriously - non-violent USA? What's next, Québec dropping the Franch language?

Real geeks write their operating system entirely in floating-point math.
And the tombstone lettering will be in Wingdings. Seriously. We can do that. You have been warned.

Depends on which GSM bands your phone supports. In the USA you generally want GSM 850 and GSM 1900.

Game time started.
You could weed all the annoying filler out of the three prequels and probably have one good movie.
There are several such recuts. Unfortunately I forgot their names; some are rumnored to be quite watchable.

That's an actual product? I kind of assumed that it was some kind of satirical pseudo-product that only appeared in animated series...
Our food is damn tasty by any standard.
