Actually, that is fine with me, but can't they be a little more specific - which God? Some Gods aren't very nice. My favourite God is Bachus and the Muses...
The important thing is to bear in mind that there are many of these epic poetry books. The books of the various Bibles is a subset of what remained from ancient times. Lots of poetry was burned or simply not transcribed at regular intervals and got lost. The great library of Alexandria for example, first burned down, then later got submerged in an earth quake, while accross Western Europe, books were burned in great heaps by the Catholic Church over a period of centuries. Consequently, most dissenting views got erased.
"God is clearly a son of a bitch." Quite true, since according to legend, the God of Heaven and Earth sprang forth from Gaia (Mother Earth) and she is a bitch - everybody in New Orleans will concur...:)
The Aeneid - Publius Virgilius Maro, translated by J.W. Mackail, CRW Publishing Limited. I can't find a date for the translation, but it is wacky old English - hard to read - almost as bad as Elisabethan English.
OK, cool, one mystery cleared up, but no, I rather won't go to any Shabat thing - since people may be offended by my ignorance of the customs. I was actually confirmed in a Christian church, but it was against my will. I was pretending due to enormous peer pressure in an overwhelmingly Christian setting. This is why I feel I earned the right to speak my mind about religion, since it was forced down my throat as a child...:)
Huh? I'm not implying that the Roman church uses the English Bible - they use Latin schtuff. I simply said the the Bible as Christians know it today (meaning English speaking Christians), is an English compilation of rather modern origin. If you can read Latin and felt offended, well then, I appologize.
Hmm, I lived in Israel for a few years and cannot remember ever hearing a Jew use the word - though I didn't go anywhere anybody would be praying to the Gods either, since those are generally good places to stay away from...
I have heard 'Alah akbar' shouted from minarets in many places all over the world, but no Arabic sounding like 'Amen' either.
Uhhhh, not quite. Constantine did some important stuff. For example he defined the Trinity at Nicea in 325, unified the Roman churches and outlawed the Pantheon, Egiptian, Persian and other churches. The Christian Bible as we know it today however, was compiled under the auspices of King James of Britain, France and Ireland, roundabout 1611.
Too funny!
I have frequently wondered what the origen of the word 'Amen' is. In The Aeneid of Virgil, the old English translation ends many a prayer to the Gods with 'bidden ah me!' meaning something like 'so ask I'. This made me wonder whether the mystical 'amen' of the Christians is simply 'bidden ah men!' - 'so ask us'.
A lot of the national debt is held by 'old people' in the form of bonds. Treasury bills, GICs, RIFs, Annuities, Mutual funds and so on. The bond market is a thousand times larger than the stock market. If you would suddenly pay back all bonds, it cannot be invested in stocks - there aren't enough going around. You cannot just give them all of that back in cash either - it will cause massive inflation. Anyway, where else are people supposed to invest, that is safe?
Windows is so far ahead in the malware world, there is no way that any other system will ever catch up to the hundreds of thousands of viruses, worms and trojans that is essential to the full Windows experience.
I think you missed one, but I can't remember which...
Pretty soon we'll need to compile Windows apps from source to get them to install: c:\> wget http://ftp.intuit.com/pub/sources/quickbooks-9.0.1 .1.tar.gz c:\> tar -zxvf quickbooks-9.0.1.1.tar.gz c:\> cd quickbooks-9.0.1.1 c:\> configure --with-db=mysql c:\> make c:\> make install c:\> man quickbooks
No, there isn't going to be any consumer confusion. Consumers just buy a PC with Windows.
The confusion is going to be in the IT departments and repair shops, to try and figure out why domain logons don't work on some particular version, or on the hell desks who need to figure out why the menus are all different and the user can't find some widget that was there yesterday (on another computer)...
Turning it off is not necessarily sufficient and removing the battery is inconvenient. So, forward your work cell phone to a private phone and permanently leave the work phone in its charger, inside a locked drawer of your desk.

Allahuekber means "God is great".

Ugh - My goodly sire, I hast beg thine sincerest pardon, but no-one speaketh in Elizabethan tongue on purpose in these holly modern times... :)

Does any real Jew care to comment on 'Amen'?

I guess the diff is that this one is a *trade* mark... ;-)

If they had a horse like that in that infamous movie, some people might actually have gone to see it...
Maybe you should go and *read* the DMCA. It specifically allows reverse engineering for compatibility reasons.

Why would you want to pay off the national debt? One man's debt is another man's investment.
a. Subtract marks for students that scan government servers. b. Bonus marks for the student that sets up his own web server and then scan it.
Yeah, they should recycle those 250000 documents that IBM sent them. That should give a serious boost to their bottom line.

LOL - I am actually using QuickBooks 6.0 on CxOffice on Linux to do my corp books.
I have no idea what the current QB version is, but v6.0 has worked just fine for me for years.
Well, that's cause a blank CD sounds a whole lot better than Celine...
