second let's have a non-logarithm axes for a typical unit that is thought of as linear... money.
As an FYI, if you want to see this same data with a linear scale, go to http://www.gapminder.org/world. By default, the x-axis has a logarithmic scale but can be changed to a linear one. Also, the data points can be changed per axis (for example, income per person on the x-axis can be changed to children per woman).
In terms of efficiency, it would be most efficient environmentally to have N. Koreans consume protein-rich vegetables directly, as each step through the food chain is about 10% efficient. This is why, if you look down the food chain, the biomass of plants and vegetables is exponentially greater than herbivores, as herbivores are exponentially greater than carnivores. At each step down the line, there is a tremendous waste of energy.
I don't know, but submitting my playlist to Apple to get album artwork makes me feel a little strange. The RIAA isn't watching, are they (not like I have anything to hide, ummm)? Supposedly Apple does not keep this information, but still, it's not exactly clear from the documentation in iTunes 7 what exactly Apple does with this information (at least not from a cursory glance).

I'm sure a few extra discs won't clog our landfills more than they already are with companies like AOL shipping out millions of discs.
I blame the fact that we have so many private parts in office
