Hidden JPGs: a functional alternative to voyeurism

Article Abstract:

Personal computers give access to sexual information which both those classed as normal, and those classed as sexually deviant are able to use. JPG is a format for organizing and sending pictures. Voyeurism is seen as a bonding activity when carried out by construction workers, and as pathological if carried out by a peeping tom. JPGs can be classified in a number of ways, such as accidental exposure of body parts, sex acts, and group shots. Voyeurs are able to use JPGs as a safe outlet, which is preferable to actually viewing others in public places, since the voyeur runs less risk, and the targets are not threatened.

Eyes wide open

Article Abstract:

Accurate maps had not been invented at the beginning of the past millennium, but in 1999 Global Positioning Systems satellite receivers can pinpoint a cite anywhere in the world. Searching for the most important concept requires elimination of other competing concepts. Abu Ali al-Hasan Ibn al-Haytham, also known as Alhazen, resolved an 800-year old scientific dispute in proving that the source of light is outside the eye and reflected into it. This led to the use of observation in scientific experimentation.

Who wants a gun license?

Telephone interviews were conducted to obtain data after the General Assembly permitted citizens to acquire licenses for concealed weapons.
