What on earth... I just looked at the FAQ and you are indeed correct.
When did this happen? When I first started using Debian unstable was not sid, it was woody, and then it became sarge. And testing was sid.
The page I looked at a five or so years ago was http://www.debian.org/releases/, but that too is fixed now. I know it wasn't this way a year ago either. I made a bet with a friend of mine, who was using testing, about it, and I won when we checked that page out.
Yeah and when my Quake pings shoot through the roof I'll throw a fucking hissy fit and find a decent service provider. There's no way this is happening, too many people play quake.
and the problem with the ATT splitup, is they didit up in such a way as they babies still had regional monopolies. Crap if you ask me. For the longest time Pacific Bell was the only provider I could have for local phone service.
Actually this is a common mistake, and shows just how wrong the terminology they use is.
Here are the descriptions of the branches: testing - Brand new stuff that's quite possibly broken.
unstable - Packages go here after they've been in testing for two weeks without hosing anybodies machines.
stable - Unstable is frozen, (no new packages are accepted) everything in it is then checked for bugs, which are fixed, and then it becomes the stable branch.
If you're going to use the acronym FUD, at least use it correctly. It's an acronym and it stands for Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. So which part of that are they spreading again?
FUD is what SCO does, this is not FUD.
The similarity between the Mac Mini and that ugly thing at most the form factor. The similarity between this Intel thing and the Mac Mini is quite a bit more.
I have extreme doubts about people becoming more saavy. I work at the moment for a helpdesk servicing a large majority of teenage college students. They're more clueless than most of the adults I helped when I worked for a local ISP.
The timeline of how the Pentateuch was assembled will depend on who you ask. Historical-Critical method scholars place the achievement of its final form in the 5th Century BC where the Jerusalem priesthood put together a number of independent textual sources or traditions: the "J", or "Yahwist" from Judah, the "E", or "Elohist" from Ephraim, the "P" or "Priestly" source reflecting Temple traditions, and the "D" or "Deuteronomist." The E source is characterized in particular by the use of "Elohim" for God instead of the YHVH of J, and is considered the origin of, for example, the primary creation story in Gen 1:1-2:3.
That's a far cry from attributing them to Moses as most Christians do. Are you a Christian or were you studying these topics for some other reason?
Yes. It's not really all that different from how the ancient Hebrews ended up using "El" as their word for God even though it's also the proper name for a different Semitic deity.
That's very interesting. I'd like to see a timeline of when that word was brought into hebrew vs the books of the Pentateuch. Although my understanding is that El is not their word for their one-true god.
Actually, that's the link directly to a page only with the search engine. Which has been available for a LONG time now. What this article about is that search engine finally replaced the one on the MSN homepage. Thank you for your conspiracy theories though. They're much appreciated.
You're right, I didn't. But even in context it's at least moderately ignorant to use "Arab" for "Muslim" as if they were equivalent. They're not.
The way I had read the grandparent seemed to imply HE was doing it. I don't recall exactly what my mind saw now, but I saw several ethnic groups and then a religious group. I would never say all Arabs are Muslims.
And etymology aside, Christian Arabs do use "Allah" for the Christian God. If you mean to say that Muslims and Christians don't worship the same God I'll agree with you, but to imply "Allah" means exclusively the Muslim god is also ignorant.
That's really interesting. Lots of Muslims and Christians both say that Yahweh and Allah are one and the same in order to try to convert people. But I've read quite a few websites of pissed off islamic fundamentalists that refute that claim. Many of them state that Allah is a name, and not just the word for "God" in Arabic. However, My understanding, based on that, is there is no word for "God" in Arabic. That said, I guess Arabian christians speaking in their native tounge would have to use that word.
Do you have special knowledge from the Holy Spirit about this subject?
Which subject? The doctrine of the Trinity? Or the necessity of believing Christ's divinity for salvation?
Did the Holy Spirit come onto you and tell you directly that he and Jesus are indeed God and that you should worship them?
I suggest you get your facts straight before you start making such wide accusations. I've done in depth studies on the subject and there is no such thing stated in the bible.
Any my job is to study and teach the Bible. I have been (and continue to be) trained by some of the best bible teachers in the UK and have widely read other people.
The Catholic encylopedia itself says that the doctrine isn't found in the bible in tact! You yourself point out later that it's not found intact in the bible! And I would argue that it's not found at all.
Most bible scholars will tell you the same thing.
Who are 'most Bbible scholars'? I doubt you can speak for them. Even so, it is the points made, not the weight of a name that matters. You cannot make appeals to nameless (or named) authorities to try and make a point. Make an argument and let it stand on its own merit.
Well you for one, and anybody else who's papers I've read, or with whom I've discussed the topic.
The Trinity doctrine found intact in the bible is a figment of your imagination. As for individual scriptures that seem to imply it, I suggest you look at them a little more closely and in context.
The Bible never uses the word 'Trinity,' but then I never claimed that it did. It does however make numerous references to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and affirms all three as being God, while also saying that there is one God. Are you questioning the divinity of Christ or of the Holy Spirit? Or perhaps the Father?
By you mentioning "numerous references to the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit" I'm going to assume you mean together, in that order. Using that logic: Abraham, Issaac, and Jacob, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are both trinities.

The Reformation wasn't to do with the Trinity; it was to do with the church having drifting form its scriptural roots. Reformed churches emphasise the authority of the Bible. And Protestant doctrine is very much that God is Trinitarian. In fact the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit are central tenets of faith. Anyone who says Jesus wasn't God is denying the claims of the Bible, including those of Jesus and therefore cannot be a Christian, regardless of whether they call themselves one or not.
Your opinions are your own. You're putting yourself in God's position when you make such broad statements about what is and isn't required for a person to be a Christian. Did Phillip make sure the Eunuch beleived Christ was GOD before he baptized him? If you think so, that's purely supposition on your part.
There are numerous churches around the world that are monarchianists, binitarians, and not trinitarians. While I don't agree, I would NEVER EVER call them unchristian because they don't have the same beleifs as me. Me personally? I'm closer to an arianist, although I wouldn't say I agree with him on all points.
If you want to discuss specific verses you think lead to a doctrine of the trinity, I'd be more than happy to rebut them.

Although there are nowhere near as many as there used to be -- many of them decided that being caught between two warring sides was not a good place to be and emmigrated to places like the United States -- the people of the Church of Jerusalem are almost entirely Arab. (Excepting the hierarchy, which is ethnically Greek.)
Excuse me, I misread the parent. Somehow I missed that he was talking about Christian Arabs, and just another person going off about how Allah and Christian god are the same thing.
Please educate yourself before spouting off. You see a great deal of ignorant commentary on/. about a great many subjects, but few of them elicit as much ignorant commentary as religion.
My commentary was not "ignorant" it was on a completely different subject. You don't need to be insulting.
What makes you think God has DNA, or used anything resembling himself when creating a earthly shell for his son?
What makes you think his power was derived from some special genes in his DNA? What is this, Jesus is now a member of the x-men?
Jesus commanded us to love everyone even those who hate us. Called us to turn the other cheek when we're assaulted. Just because not all of us are very good at doing that doesn't make Christs teachings any less valid.

Apple lost market share, not because of mouse buttons, but cost, brand recognition vs IBM, and application development.

So it'd be more like this:

Plato would agrue yes, as well as writers, actors, and poets.
Not that I agree with him, but he does make a good point as to why.
How much diesel does it take to harvest the corn and ferment a gallon of ethanol?

Most Christians hold that Jesus is God. Arabs certainly don't believe that.
Using your logic, you should go out, make lots of forgery artifacts and then prove them to be fake! That'll fix those darn Christians!
Maybe if you do it enough, everyone will give up religion!
Great scam isn't it? I wish I could start a church, I'd be rich.
