Actually posts that offend me fall into far more categories, i just don't react to them. These particular post are annoying in that there seems to be a surge in them. Ironically digg seems to have the opposite, a bunch of Christians "preaching" (for extremely loose definitions of preaching) to people they have no hope of converting.

First how do you know I'm a Christian, I just hate how some people also turn a discussion in that direction (either way). Second how was he on topic, he said "explain science behind "miracles"" Then basically said state that biblical miracles are impossible. Science Teachers need to focus on subjects that are actually provable (evolution, gravity, ...) , you can't prove/disprove something that can't be tested/observed.

What the hell is it with some people always trying to put down Christianity. We get it you're an atheist. Shut up already you're not contributing to anything (article/discussion/your own argument).

I thought ffmpeg only decodes/converts videos, and imagemagick actually can edit images.

It won't, instead the remaining 90% of the packaging will be colored green and brag about the eco-friendliness of Amazon.

1) They care about the audience?

2)Finally a new use for fake IDs for people over 21 years old.

3)Every theater probably will get its own watermark, digital projectors could probably add a new one with each showing.

I thought the idea behind the internet was for everyone to be able to post information. You only want the geeks and the elite who can pay geeks to be able to spread information? What happened to "information wants to be free."

That's called concurrent sentencing in the US, sentences served at same time. It's usually done for minor crimes. Most crimes get consecutive sentencing where sentences are done one after another.

People get insane amounts of life sentences because many places still define life as 20-25 years, which with good time and parole can get pretty low. With multiple life sentences the judge insures that the convict stays in prison for life.

What good will your window do against a chainsaw?

To quote my Criminal Justice Professor "Thankfully most criminals are idiots, and those who aren't idiots are usually whitecollared."

Clinton was under oath, I don't think the RIAA was.

All these netbooks are stronger than my current desktop (1GHz processor, 20 GB HDD (6.6 GB free), 247.6 MiB of memory). My next computer will probably be a netbook, I'll keep my monitor and mouse (actually a small laptop mouse because I prefer the smaller size) for when I'm not moving around.

My dumb antennae idea wouldn't stop phones calls, they would just listen for signals on the right frequency then locate them (not actual cell towers). If they originated inside the prison then the guards could grab them.

1 crooked/threatened guard gives the inmate the phone. You would need a prison administration wide conspiracy to stop every guard from taking the phone. A bigger problem would be the guards barely making over minimal wage just not caring enough to enforce what they might seem as a pointless rule.
