I'm curious: would you also abolish differential penalties for juvenile offenders?

One of the primary motivations for older gang members to indoctrinate juveniles into gangs in the first place is that the differential penalties means a juvenile offender can commit a felony, and as long as it's not serious enough to get them tried as an adult, they face much smaller penalties that adult offenders, with exactly the same profitability to the gangs. So as a 25 year old gang member, I'm highly incentivized to recruit 15-17 year olds to do things like trafficking narcotics to weapons violations. They get paid better money that they could get flipping burgers, usually by an order of magnitude, I get the rest of the profit, and hey, if they get cause, a year in juvie is something hey can do standing on their head, and be well rewarded for taking the fall.

This is about the stupidest thing for inventors.

In most countries other than the U.S., where you have a year from first public disclosure to file for a patent, disclosure automatically nullifies your ability to file for patents.

That is NOT what christian churches teach.
And don't even try to tell me that the bible has not been used for the justification of murder. See the history of the Roman Catholic church for a plethora of examples.

I know intimately what Christ said and taught, that has nothing to do with what Christians believe and do. And his teachings are certainly not being followed in any large organized churches.

If you are truly paranoid you write it yourself.

There are very talented people that can hide things in only a few lines of code. See http://ioccc.org/ for some examples that will make your skin crawl.

Fine? Agreed. Good? No. CRTs are bulky, heavy, flickered, hot, fragile, limited in size, have a (slighly) blurry image, contain considerable toxic chemicals (particularly lead, barium and cadmium) and drain 2-4X the power of a LCD or LED. They were useful but they were never without a lot of drawbacks. Positives? Good color and color depth, good black level, good viewing angle, minimal distortion, can display multiple resolutions and decent response time.

Some of them certainly do emit a high pitched noise (heard it with my own ears) though this may be due to malfunctions in most cases. And if you think they don't have flickering or geometry issues then I want some of whatever you are smoking. It's not even a debate that they flicker - some quite badly especially below 85Hz. Their non-flat screen and projected image causes all sorts of geometry issues. They don't have a lot of distortion but they do have geometry problems.

There are quality CRTs out there but even the best of them have some pretty significant drawbacks.

Yes they are, they find justification to kill each other all anywhere they can find it.

When I slam 3-4 red bulls and have a Pot of 2X strength coffee being consumed fora marathon session. But at that point I can see the overhead lights flickering at me.

Mine runs on the souls of interns... Reminds me I need to get some more interns...

Now all we need is solar cells that are better than 30% efficient so we can have this magical "surplus" you speak of.

No. Can't say I've ever seen or heard of anyone having trouble with LEDs specifically. I honestly cannot even see a flicker in most LED screens whereas I was pretty sensitive to it on CRT screens. I find LEDs to be much easier on my eyes than even the best CRTs. I've seen light sensitivities that are due to interactions with poor quality or old fluorescent bulbs. My last office was next to a window which made for some glare problems and excessive brightness problems at times. I've also seen issues with brightness due to external stimuli or just a larger brightly lit screen. My wife is actually rather light sensitive so I had to dial the brightness down on a 24" monitor at home.

I'd be curious it the original poster's issue is with the LEDs or with the backlighting or with something else unrelated to the LED screen.

You fight murderous forces with murderous forces, only a fool would try to do otherwise. Read the "art of war".

All "holy books" call for violence. Except for one, Buddah does not call for it in any instance.

The National Association of Attorneys General

In English this means "National Association for the removal and criminalization of the 1st amendment and other pesky rights"

These Men and Women are the single most evil people out there in the USA, They enjoy destroying people's lives to further their own careers.

Yes. we bombed the shit out of berlin for days on end. Why? because that was the only way to stop the evil people. you had to kill others to get the evil people.

Why dont the UN just fire up gatling guns and mow down the whole frigging crowd attacking?
