The _written_ originals of the new testament Bible were in Greek since they quotes Aramaic phrases that Jesus said, then provide their (Greek) translation. Also, Greek was a common language known by many educated people of the time, and functioned as a bridge language for the multiple ethnicities of the area and the Jews outside of Israel, much like English does today (More documentation).
Having said that though...

Humbly, sir, consider two common forms of arrogance:
One is not to know something, but think one knows.
The other, more insidious, is not to know, and think that no one else can possibly know.
You seem to have the second form of arrogance with regards to the Bible. After all, you're talking about the most comprehensively documented ancient text. Also, Greek classics like Plato's republic, or the Illiad have much less documentary evidence.

I've posted earlier on this...
The solution could be to use cell phones + cameras + GPS to effectively do collaborative cartography. i.e. units could be both consumers and producers of information - both raw picture data and processed maps - like much of the internet today.
A person could take pictures or video, each frame having a GPS timespace-stamp, and load it onto his computer at home, which could then participate with thousands of other computers in feature extraction using freely available mapping sources like TIGER data. Annotations to mapping information could include: GPS timespace stamps, voice or text annotation, accelerometer data (for data on observer orientation and acceleration). The latter could also help improve feature extraction from multiple images in a video (for eg: Intel OpenCV vision library uses stereo cameras for feature detection).
Throw in concepts like local P2P exchanges by mobile units (for eg: my PDA has GPS, your cellphone has a camera & GPRS, both can communicate over bluetooth --> potential for a win-win situation for us both), distributed image storage and feature extraction, novel types of feature recognition (eg: ATM screens, McDonald outlets), multiple freenet-like distributed cartography servers --- the concept can get quit interesting. - for users, also potentially for cartography vendors even though they will have to improve their value proposition.
Optimising compilers can do much the same thing for C programs. Hotspot JVMs don't have an advantage over all C programs - just mostly those compiled with no optimization. I am not sure though, about the advantages JIT profiling gives to Java programs and whether some C compilers offer the same features to C programs.
I recall an article by Intel engineers (recent DDJ I think) that described how an executable compiled with their compiler could detect the runtime platform and choose among code-segments optimized for different platforms. These compilers also automatically 'vectorize' non-vector instructions - i.e. they use MMX/SSE/SSE2/3DNow with unrolled loops.

4.1. I have some personal testimony on the damaging effect of pot: My friend is a pothead. He has very obvious signs of damage from his decades-old pot habit (shakes, general dimness - sad to see in an otherwise very bright person, working in computers). When I point this out to him, he doesn't see it (or rather doesn't want to admit it), and covers it up with... "ah, you can't get addicted to it.. I've got it under my control,... blah blah blah...". Well, he just got back from vacationing for some weeks with his brother, and said something that surprised me. He said: "I never thought I would ever tell you this... you *can* get addicted to pot". Apparently, his brother - who is another pothead - is addicted to pot (he cannot function without it) and is in a much worse state than he is.

You're wrong. From here... Fullerenes, or buckminsterfullerenes in full, are molecules composed entirely of carbon, taking the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube or ring.
Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of a sheet of linked hexagonal rings, but they contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings that prevent the sheet from being planar. They are sometimes jocularly called buckyballs or buckytubes, depending on the shape.
As I pointed out earlier, the main fault is with Slashdot, only slightly with the submitter (and hence even less with Salon unless you *know* Salon is at fault.)
So if Salon is in fact Andrew Leonard's employer (and isn't just handling out free emails to its subscribers) then sure, writing a ___polite___ letter to the employer is fine if you wrote to Andrew first he admitted to no wrongdoing.
However, the guy we are talking off did not do this - he just jumped straight on Salon with filthy language.
Correct - alcohol and tobacco are both deemed "less harmful" than "harder drugs" by the Govt.
Some alcoholic beverages are beneficial in small doses. This is obviously not true with tobacco, but laws have changed as knowledge grows - there was a time when doctors thought well of tobacco. Yes, it's also obvious that some governments can have a "tobacco tax" habit - that shouldn't stop them trying to do the right thing. For eg: laws in recent years aimed to curb passive smoking.
Just like tobacco now is legal, opium was legal once too... but unregulated use has tremedous effects on society: witness the period just before the Opium wars:
By the 1830's, the English had become the major drug-trafficking criminal organization in the world; very few drug cartels of the twentieth century can even touch the England of the early nineteenth century in sheer size of criminality. Growing opium in India, the East India Company shipped tons of opium into Canton which it traded for Chinese manufactured goods and for tea. This trade had produced, quite literally, a country filled with drug addicts, as opium parlors proliferated all throughout China in the early part of the nineteenth century. This trafficing, it should be stressed, was a criminal activity after 1836, but the British traders generously bribed Canton officials in order to keep the opium traffic flowing. The effects on Chinese society were devestating. In fact, there are few periods in Chinese history that approach the early nineteenth century in terms of pure human misery and tragedy. In an effort to stem the tragedy, the imperial government made opium illegal in 1836 and began to aggressively close down the opium dens.
It is undoubted that drugs like opium, cannabis etc. have medicinal properties (when used correctly). It is also RIGHT that the governments "regulate" these hard drugs. NOTE: most governments do not BAN hard drugs, they REGULATE them to ensure that only those that NEED them get them. For eg: tons of opium are legally shipped to countries like the US and Japan each year.
Some people that call out for legalizing hard drugs seem like drug-addled British opium traders from the 19th century. Talk like "Oh, think of the poor suffering cancer patients", often pushed around as a good reason for legalizing marijuana, is nonsense. Such patients already have access to far more effective opium derivates. If you want to improve laws that benefit the sick (eg. make pain-reliving drugs more freely available to patients suffering pain) why don't you do so? - instead of trying to ruin society?
The laws against hard drugs in the US (including pot) are fair laws - obey them!
