If we can accelerate at one g (internal reference) all the way (changing thrust direction halfway), we pretty quickly get close to light speed, which means that we can travel many light years in only a few years (internal time).
Of course there're several obstacles (power, collisions, etc.), but it would make it possible to travel great distances within one's lifetime even at below light speed.
We need a +0 naive moderation option.

Except that according to many Church's teachings, you already messed up as soon as you are born.
AFAIK the Christians believe that when Christ died the sin committed by Adam and Eve against their God (the thing with the tree) was forgiven, and that all humans from that day forth were born without sin.
Concerning why the religious fear death more than non-religious is perhaps an intrinsic one: they are religious because they fear death and need some sort get-out-of-death free card (which most organized religions give in one form or another).
What's wrong with Santa? We know St. Nick was real (so we know there are charitable people) and we know wormholes are real (so we know how to travel around the globe in an evening).
Actually I have my own theory concerning Santa: he can manipulate Planck's constant. Consequently he can place himself in a quantum state where he's in every good kids home at once. This allows him to deliver presents to all the good children simultaneously - as long as he's not observed. If someone does spot Santa, his quantum state collapses to the eigenstate that is him in that particular kid's home. Thus, he must be very careful not to be spotted, otherwise it would take a long time to deliver all the presents.
I realize that this theory still have some rough edges, but I'm confident it can be refined and verified before Christmas.
SVN would be nicer because it's got the ability to branch/merge.
SVN is supported.
You should never talk to the police, their only interest is incriminating you in a crime, not the other way around.
That's a rather bleak view of law enforcement agents in a pretty free democracy.
Could be, and looking for some fun like these ones.
I totally agree on this. What were they thinking involving the police in this? It's way out of proportions.
If it's not that bad how come you post anonymously?
This sounds like the beginning of some lesbian porn flick.
In case most of you had forgotten, Obama is basically copying John McCain who specifically mentioned doing this in the debates.
Well, Obama strikes me as a very pragmatic politician so I'm not surprised that he copies others' good ideas.
Of course at the time McCain did it Slashdot thought it was an evil intrusion of privacy. But now that Obama wants to do the exact same thing it's an enlightened 21st century idea that only some Luddite old guy like McCain could ever oppose.
I didn't see it as evil then, and I don't think everyone here agrees to that.
And they'll call it Open Office eXchange Medics Language (OOXML) to create several layers of confusion.

According to the Heisenburg uncertainty principle its impossible to know both where an object is precisely, and where its heading.
Indeed, however, I believe the accuracy will suffice even for your superior motor control good sir.
