A good start might be to read some actual scholarly work on the subject. A good book for laypeople is "Misquoting Jesus" which you can find at most bookstores.
A good start might be to address the point I have raised. I don't mean to be rude, however I addressed a point you made using John. You then said John showed only part of the picture (the other gospels showing a different picture). I then pointed out several passages (quoting only sections for brevity) from the other gospels that showed substantially the same picture. You have now skipped past that point. I mean no disrespect but I see no point in addressing what you have to say unless you do the same for me.
Matthew "Then one of the Twelve--the one called Judas Iscariot--went to the chief priests and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins." Matthew 26:14-15
"While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people." Matthew 26:47
"Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people came to the decision to put Jesus to death." 27:1
"So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him." 27:17-18
"When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"" 27:24
Mark "Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders." 14:43
"The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any." 14:55
"Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified." 15:15
Luke: "Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." 23:4
"Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. But they kept shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" For the third time he spoke to them: "Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him."But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. So Pilate decided to grant their demand." 23:20-24
So the other gospel accounts agree with the point I was making (using John alone).
On the other issue you raised, I'd be interested to hear of any contradictions that are raised by the gospels. They are certainly written with different aims and audiences, and the different gospels do choose to highlight different aspects, but that does not make them contradictory.
With a dell, there is no clear differentiation between product lines.
"The second (and to my mind stranger) thing that dell does, is that they sell overlapping products. Looking at just the notebook range for small business you can get an inspiron, a latitude or a precision. There seems to be little in common between the different types of inspiron laptops, 3 of them look similar but are different sizes, the XPCs are in a class of their own and there is the odd one out, the 1300. Likewise with the latitude, the laptop models don't seem to have much in common. It is in no way clear which laptop may suit you, particularly as you can customise them further, upgrading CPUs and RAM.
Compare this to two other laptop manufacturers: Apple and Lenovo thinkpads (formerly IBM). Apple sells two laptop ranges: Macbook and macbook pro. All the macbooks look similar (you can get white or black) and are all 13 and top out at a 2Ghz CPU. The macbook pros all look similar and come in two different form factors 15.4 and 17. For lenovo, there are the X series (ultralite and small), the X series tablet, R series (lower end machines), Z series (high end desktop replacement), T series (high performance portable). Each model also has a number (eg T42), which distinguishes it from previous revisions. All models look exactly the same."
I think that is a bit of a stretch. Re-read one of the accounts of the trial of Jesus. From John 18-20 (an account I just finished working through) it is quite clear that the Jews (or more precisely a subset of the Jews, in particular their leaders) wanted Jesus dead. Pilate quite clearly did not want Jesus dead ("I find no basis for a charge against him", Jn 18:38), but had Jesus executed under the threat of civil unrest.
Or the book of Job; it's damn hard to read that and think that the only one out of the three main characters (Job, God, and Satan) who wasn't a complete dick was Satan...
That is an interesting take on it, given that Satan is the one doing all that to Job. I'm not sure why you would consider Job to be a complete dick.

Sorry. It is just that I'm going to be buying one over the next few days as a supplement to my work desktop and my work desktop (at home). And yes, it is going to be a work laptop.:(
Actually there is one really good reason for this: redundancy. I used to run off a laptop only for work, but if that laptop went down I'd be in some serious trouble.
Personally I have a strong feeling that compilers in general should be free. I don't mean to get all Mac-Fanboi here (I come from a Linux background), but that's one thing Apple does very nicely. XCode is a very nice development suite that is entirely free (beer, of course).
A niggle: The compilers for.Net are completely free and ship with the.Net framework. This is about the IDE.
Other than that I completely agree: the development environment should be free. Indeed it is in Microsoft's best interests, it increases the amount of code written for their platform.
I will be buying my first mac within a couple of weeks. The major purpose of this mac will be to develop software for the windows platform (IIS, SQL Server etc). I'm really attracted to the mac hardware and OS X but unless I can run some of the windows stuff it just isn't going to happen.
I'm looking forward to the day when I do a demo of the software to a customer, running the entire thing as a Parallels VM from a Mac laptop. I'll find it funny even if nobody else does.
Exactly. My view is that Microsoft should ship their development software for free. If they are serious about supporting software development on their platform, that is the logical step. At the moment, VS.Net provides a ~$1,000 barrier of entry to developing software for windows.
I'll tell you what ticks me off about FF: the memory & processor usage in opening a window. This is something like 50Mb to open a new window. This can make it a couple of seconds to load. A work colleague decided to test whether this was the extensions (eg HTML validator) that increased the load. Nup, ~50Mb to open a window. He googled for details on how to fix this, followed the various instructions, still 50Mb to open a window.
My guess is that firefox runs a new instance of gecko and rendering tools for new windows. It doesn't seem to do the same for new tabs.
Note: this probably isn't a memory leak but it is pretty freaking annoying.
I like the ones where it assumes that you enter cook times in whole-minute increments and doesn't wait for you to hit 'start' if the door is shut. If you want to add 30 seconds, there's a specific button for that. I don't know anyone who uses a microwave for finer units of time, and it saves on button presses (e.g. cook for five minutes by pushing 5 instead of 5,0,0,enter).
Also, the vacation is lengthy, but fairly inflexible. Hope you don't want to take any time off OTHER than what the district says, or you've got some problems. Want to take a month off in March instead? Too bad! It's definitely a trade off.
In addition the time at work is pretty inflexible. You as the teacher of a specific class need to be there for your class. While other people can kinda fill in for you, they can't actually do your job. You almost need to plan when you are sick so that you have work in hand for a relief teacher (which incidentally means more work for you).

It is a bad thing. People are getting different options but they don't know what the difference between them is.
