So that whole giving you a possible way to Heaven when you're utterly screwed otherwise, that doesn't impress you? You'd rather have instant wine and ethernal hellfire than salvation?
The IRS has tried a similar tactic in the past, saying their systems don't allow them to be audited. So I can go to jail for not being 100% up-front with the IRS, but they can't be held to the same standard.
Christians sometimes fast as well, it's just not as common. The Bible also advises you to drink your own urine, probably another health benefit thing, but I'll ignore that one since puking is obviously NOT healthy.
Even if we can't travel faster than the speed of light, it's possible there are undiscovered shortcuts that could get us there. In Star Trek(yes, I know it's science fiction) I don't believe they ever traveled faster than the speed of light, they simply warped space. The warp factor described what it appeared they were doing to an outside observer, nbot what they were actually doing.
Fear and respect generally don't go together. There's probably a better word than respect for the combination you're thinking of, but the word escapes me.
I have a similar situation in my Runescape game. I've come to realize that tedium mostly exists when you have to actually think in order to do a boring activity. Once the activity is totally automatic you can zone out. That's why all the high-ranking RS players watch tv and listen to music while they play.
Even if you can't transmit faster than the speed of light, imagine being able to transmit stuff AT the speed of light. So if a transmitter were in Australia and a receiver were in the US it would be like it was going right through the planet. (I think, might be wrong, not an expert)
Okay, here's the thing, there are two kinds of science, the verifiable kind, like with the LHC and it's observed phenomena. But there's a second kind which is more about observation and making predictions. Like it or not, evolutionary theory is the second kind, it can never be absolutely proven 100%.
I love science magazines, but my IQ doesn't drop simply because I reject the Theory of Evolution. As a Christian it doesn't parse with my beliefs about God. You can have whatever opinion you want about me, but I still tend to be well informed about science subjects.
Representative democracy is a nonsense term used to placate stupid Americans. A republic is a nation of written law, which I'm guessing the OP was referring to. In a proper republic, the written law is what is followed and if there's ambiguity, the ambiguous parts are ignored until they are fixed. In a republic, judges are not allowed to make "case law" unless they're explicitly given that right in the written law, in which case case law would become written law and the term "case law" wouldn't be necessary, since it would simply be law period.
Maybe I'm a moron, but what about prioritizing by type of content, rather than where the content comes from? Torrents and videos could have high latency without people caring too much, but with online gaming you want the lowest latency you can get. So instead of making it about specific companies, make it about the type of content. Although, then downloads for games would have to be labeled separately from actual gaming traffic to keep things from getting overly expensive.
I told my dad I felt the biggest act of terrorism was the bombing of Hiroshima and he started arguing with me about it. Finally he asked,"Well, what's your definition of terrorist?" I told him my definition was when someone physically or mentally harmed civilians to fight a war, that was terrorism. He got a thousand yard stare for a second, and then simply walked away.
It isn't always about money. As rich as the Google CEOs are, it's probably more about power and control. So they'll only jack up their prices if it somehow makes them more powerful.
Yeah, and the main reason people want them larger is to accommodate larger screens. People always want larger screens, assuming they can view things on those screens.
We need Alien Nation(old tv show) screens, where they start out the size of cellphones, but then you unroll them to tablet size.
We need turbolifts, like in Star Trek so they can move out of the way of each other. Alternately, we could have elevators that "prefer" certain routes depending on where they and the other elevators or at. Alternately again, we could have elevators that collapse on themselves if no one in is in it, which could be kind of creepy for first time users.
Personally, I think elevators in tall buildings should move in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, then they don't interfere with each other quite as much. You'd be asked to use different elevators depending on where in the building you were going.
Holy shit, there's a programming concept kinda based on my name? That's so awesome. If I'm ever a manager, I'll make everybody use json. Because, since I'm awesome, this json thing MUST be awesome.
Seriously, though, never heard of it, gonna Google it just so I know what the heck it is.

All you say is true, and yet Creationists are still derided as idiots and fools.
Maybe every star has a habitable planet, but it's nothing but wildlife waiting to be tamed.
Prototypes are always crap. The first Macbook Air was probably a shoddy piece of crap in it's first couple iterations.

Well, to each his own, I guess.
Who the hell comes up with "You know, we should see how well using urine works for making a fuel cell."
Well, the nerds want to impress the frat boys, so...I'm guessing the frat boys came up with the idea and the nerds ran with it.

I've read all those books, how nerdy is that? :)

Someone needs to tell these guys about crowdsourcing. You only need the plans for the first decently made gun, then you can make as many as you want.

Could they be teasing us by giving us a hint of the future in the name? Kind of scary that all the names remind one of the book Fahrenheit 451.

Okay, how long until I can finally be Michael J. Fox(obviously, a version without the twitchiness) in my video games?

How about "Frigid brown dwarf revolves around hot star," is it porn or astronomy?
