One book? I decided to actually see how big the standard is one day (6000 pages, right?) It was eight encyclopedias (~750 pages each). I'd rather carry the ODF standard any day.
Your not thinking big enough. How about a Matrix-like storage place for our bodies while we have a live direct-to mind interface with a Star-Trek-like hologram body that we use to interact with the world. It would never get tired physically, can't get injured, have superhuman senses, and it could look like whatever we wanted it to (human or otherwise). Now that would be awesome!
Skimming the first few paragraphs, that guy actually seems to hold some sort of twisted view that Christ is Lord, but he was advocating Anarchy. Anyways, from your GPP:
Even Yahweh in the Old Testament (this is for you Christians and Jews) tells the people of Israel who asked for a King from God, that he will send them one, who will take their sons as soldiers, their daughters as maids, and tax them 10% and in Yahweh's own words... "and then they shall be slaves."
A few verses before that, in 1 Samuel 8:6-9 (from an online NIV):
6 But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
Reminds me of issues within my own family: I am the only technical person in the house. Three of my siblings share one computer, and I administer it occasionally. When I was recently re-installing Windows over Ubuntu at their request, they insisted that they be given administrator privileges (they had them in Ubuntu, but they only used them to disable each other's admin privileges, not actually administer). Since using an admin account for ordinary activities is a Bad Idea, and they insisted anyways, I asked for permission from my parents to do nothing. Installing was not done and I proposed to my parents that when it finished, the siblings would be left with the task of setting it up and maintaining it. They would have to set up passwords, connect to the WiFi, run Microsoft Update, install drivers, a firewall, antivirus (I have set up Clamwin on all Windows systems, so no Norton disk lying around), etc. My siblings were smart and stopped protesting very quickly. That was yesterday. Today the vocal one was demanding admin privileges again, so that he could install a game. The Hebrews did much the same thing, except that they didn't relent when the great Admin in the sky threatened to withdraw support, but rather after their box ground to a halt.
Back on the subject of governments and the Bible's supposed opposition to them. Romans 13:1-7:
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
And from 1 Peter 2:13-17:
13Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17Show proper respec
Not to discriminate, but which religions are associated with these events? As far as I can tell:
1. Extremest Muslim sect
2. Cultist branch of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination
3. Islamic law
4. Leader of a Muslim group
5. Muslim rioters
6. Muslim rioters
7. Extremest Muslim sect
8. Jewish (is this religious fanatics or the nation of Isreal itself?)
Christian: 1 (far deviated from normal Christianity)
Jewish: 1
Mulim: 6 (2 abnormal deviations of the religion, 1 ordered by a man in power likely too full of himself)
The riots and the rape case are indicative that something may be fundamentally wrong with Islamic dogma.
Could you please give more Christian examples? Preferably something that the majority of the Christian religion does not see a problem with. e.g. the Catholic molestation scandal was even repulsive to many Catholics, to say nothing about the other denominations.
I know that is a joke, but wouldn't it's resolution have to be smaller than the 'strings' of string theory in order to be a higher resolution than outside?
How about "greater resolution than the eye"?
Why buy it as a download, when my very first act after downloading it would be to burn it onto a CD as a backup? To create custom CDs from many artists/albums without having to pay for all of the extra songs you won't use.

Dumb question. This is /.
Nevermind. Senate doesn't handle budget, right?
The house of Represenatives passed this bill... What about the Senate?

Will the already-sold phones remain unlocked? Or is another bricking patch on the way?
You did notice that the link I gave does not go to Foxit's site, right?
In the link, next to the word "License" there is another word. "Free"
I've always found it more convenient to get it from download.com.
I like Foxit on Windows machines. Incredibly small and lightweight and works in your browser.

You're not helping. There had only been two trolls before your post.

Has anyone else noticed the sudden surge in religion-oriented trolling?
