Submission + - Man in Greece sentenced to 10 months in jail due to blasphemy laws

etash writes: A bit more than a year ago a man was arrested in Greece for satirizing a dead monk, after the far-right party golden dawn, petitioned for his arrest. A couple of days ago he was given a 10 months sentence.

What actually enraged the religious Greek blogosphere was not the satire. He wrote a fictitious story about a miracle done in the past by this specific monk. The story was then sent to one such blog and then in a matter of days it was copy pasted and presented as true by most of the religious and far-right blogs and news sites. The final act of the dramedy took place when he came out and revealed that the story was not real; he intended to show the absurdity and the lack of reliability of these sites.

on a 1080p, 15 inches monitor you can see the fonts aliasing from a viewing distance of 76cm? superman, is that you?

on a 1080p, 15 inches monitor you can see aliasing in a line in a game, or an individual white pixel lit up on a black screen? captain obvious is that you?

yeah but that's only valid for a small increase on the resolution (for a constant sized monitor). If you tripled or quadrupled the resolution ( per axis ), I highly doubt he or anyone else would be able to read the cells contents without a ... microscope. So in the long term, the real estate depends on the physical size, not the resolution, oh and don't tell me that 'in the long term we are all dead'-thing :P

how would a higher resolution on the same frame help you with your problem? if your screen is still let's say 15 inches and you double the resolution, the excel cells would need to be drawn on twice the size (in pixels) for them to remain on a constant physical size (otherwise your excel cells would be too small to see), thus you'd still see the same number of cells on that double-resolution monitor.
