2) They've sorta held the trademark for roughly 1400 years or so, and the office for roughly 1973 years (an estimate counting back to when Peter was named to the office, counting Dennis The Short's mathematical hose-ups on the whole Anno Domini tabulations.)
It is somewhat unsurprising that a Catholic is blissfully unaware that nowhere in the New Testament is there any mention of Peter being named to this office, that Jesus even established the Papacy, or that Peter was even regarded as a bishop.
Most references only discuss the concept of Peter being in that role from about the 4th century AD, and indeed the Catholic church had to issue a document in the 1960s to codify this belief as dogma.
unless of course they are declaring Papal supremacy
Supremacy? No, but they do claim infallibility. From WP:
Over the centuries, popes' claims of spiritual authority have been ever more clearly expressed, culminating in the proclamation of the dogma of papal infallibility for rare occasions when the pope speaks ex cathedra (literally "from the chair (of Peter)") to issue a solemn definition of faith or morals.[2] The first (after the proclamation) and so far the last such occasion was in 1950, with the definition of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary.
It's bad enough when whackers are purely hams. Take it to the next level, and you get the whackers who join Fire / EMS just so they can run (sometimes legally, sometimes not-so) private vehicles with lightbars, have all their radios... then they extend it to their gear. Some of these guys have more in their 'personal first aid' bag in their vehicle than we do in our (well funded) ambulances.
Then they load up their utility belt with every gadget under the sun, short of handheld ultrasound. Leathermans, holsters for whatever, you name it.
Protip: Don't join emergency medical services because you like the shiny gadgets, or the ability to run lights and sirens, either in an emergency vehicle or a private one. I don't want you responding when I call 911.
How can you tolerate a country that has "we will kill all jews world-wide" in it's constitution (note they do clarify that if they ever get the Jews they will come after everyone else - you just can't make this up. Unfortunately, it's not a joke)
Islam is the official religion in Palestine. Respect and sanctity of all other heavenly religions shall be maintained.
Or Article 18?
Freedom of belief and the performance of religious rituals are guaranteed, provided that they do not violate public order or public morals.
Here's an idea, it's novel, I know. How about you go to the Palestinian Constitution, which I helpfully linked above, and show us this "not a joke" claim you're making, "it's true, really it is" about the goal of "death to Jews and all non-Muslims".
The most annoying bit is that Wikipedia has latched onto this... it had nothing to do with Wikipedia... but was in fact "WikiHow", completely independent.
Ok, maybe I missed something big, but Gitmo has been used to house only a handful of Americans, and IIRC they were all seized overseas and eventually given legal representation guaranteed to American Citizens.
Where "eventually" is used to mean "some extended period of time, possibly up to 6 years, whilst being housed outside in a cage"... As an aside, it has generally been recognized that the Constitution is talking about all men, not all American men. Is kinda why I, as a non-American citizen permanent resident of the US am still protected by the First Amendment, etc, et al.
Gitmo is used almost exclusively for housing Non-American prisoners who where seized by military personnel during military action.
Nicely phrased. It gives a nice implication about who these people are, even though several have been shown to have nothing to do with anything... but using military twice in the sentence, well, kinda says that they must have been bad, right?
I agree as to the reprehensible nature of torture, but the rights guaranteed to US citizens are not to be extended to hostile enemy personnel by default.
a) See above re 'inalienable rights', b) oh wait, they're 'hostile enemy personnel' now? I thought the party line was "illegal combatants"...? Color me confused...
What? "Please cease and desist publishing this information about me that is true and was once published in a magazine."
I think you mean 'ask politely', because I highly doubt a cease and desist would do much here beyond get you laughed at and provoke a lawyer to write a nice letter explaining the concept of the First Amendment to you.
Douglas Adams once posited in The Deeper Meaning Of Liff that the shortest measurable duration of time in the universe was "the time elapsed between the light turning green, and the driver behind you blowing his horn". I now beg to differ. It's the time between someone claiming a GPL violation, and the Open Source hordes clamboring for someone's head, regardless of merit.
the violation is obvious
No evidence of code out there.... and the app doesn't exist in a vacuum.
If fact, it's quite clear what the problem is: violation.
Actually, speaking someone who is in EMS... there is a LOT of DVDs and sleeping. Plenty of recliners, 50" LCDs, on demand cable. But yes, there's a lot of other stuff. Going to schools and large public buildings to review their fire systems (mainly from a perspective of 'if we are called to a fire here, it would be good to know where everything is', washing rigs, training, etc). If you're a probationary, though, it is frowned upon to be Mr DVD... unless/everything/ else is done.
And meanwhile, articles that are useful to the majority of humanity sit as stubs, because a bunch of geeks on the internet think that it's absolutely necessary - and more interesting - to have 20 paragraphs written about each and EVERY. FUCKING. POKEMON. that ever existed, every M:TG card... bleh.
This is called Flagged Revisions, and it's currently in testing. Jimbo Wales is pushing for its adoption on the main Wikipedia namespace.
Bleh. No he's not. Flagged Revisions have been in the WP codebase for years. It's been tested, and the WMF is and has been stalling on its implementation for fear that it might "change community interaction". Whenever a concern comes up (usually the defamation of a living person), Jimbo makes overtures about assuming good faith, and how flagged revisions are coming and how he'd like to see them implemented, just long enough for the furore to die down, and without actually doing anything to make it so... until the next instance.
So sad, too bad. Driving while high is illegal in all 50 states, and 40+ have statutes that including cannabis and other illicit drugs under the umbrella of public intoxication.
FORCES International is an organisation in support of human rights and - in particular, but not limited to - the defence of those who expect from life the freedom to smoke, eat, drink and, in general, to enjoy personal lifestyle choices without restrictions and state interference.
Sounds like an amazingly unbiased source. Can't imagine them having a desire to minimize the risks associated with smoking...
These figures are indeed quite optimistic. Consider that they are pertinent only to cars/light trucks, and do not take into account heavy trucks/buses, industrial pollution, stationary engines, airplanes, and many other contributors. It is quite conceivable that actual air pollution exceeds the study's figures by a factor of five or more.
LOL. Says ATT. For no reason other than 'we wont do it for you'. Nothing amazing about the JesusPhone that makes it immune to such legislation, whatever some might believe.
Amy was back at my house an hour later; they'd let her out on OR (whatever that means).
"Own recognizance" - essentially, "we take you at your word that you'll appear as required", that you have a recognizance of the consequences if you don't.
The night before last she called her ex-husband's attorney, a criminal lawyer (her ex-husbans is a criminal who spent time in prison for brutally beating her). He told her not to worry, he'd be there to represent her and she was NOT going to jail.
Hold up, what? He agreed to represent the ex-wife of a client who served time for assaulting said ex-wife, in a court case regarding her non-payment of child support to said client?!?
Good lawyer he may be, but he may want to read-up on conflict of interest.
Shitty, but still.

And it starts at only $1500... not that I'm opposed to making money from software, but $1500 to organize my life != cheap.
In the words of Wikipedia, citation please.
Is it before or after Article 4, which states:
Or Article 18?

Because beyond that, you ARE a troll.

Postbox does. My new favorite email client. And it's written by Thunderbird developers and based on Thunderbird. But is not free...
http://opensource.palm.com/1.3.1/index.html would disagree with you.
I'd agree, it is quite clear what the problem is. But it's not a GPL violation...
Uhhh, because yeah, no-one would /ever/ think of embedding such code in a legitimate application, would they?
Oh, wait...
Actually you do. Where do you think that data comes from? Hint, the names of those places often have the structure "X National Observatory"...
You'd be entirely wrong. Just how much CPU do you think those require, versus SETI running at 100% utilization...

And they are now trialling $6.99 same day shipping in select cities, order before 11am and have it by the end of the day.
