If your touting Wikipedia as a reliable source, I'm afraid you have to accept these four Gospels as a reliable source. Let me explain in brief: Wikipedia is the result of people writing and editing en masse, combining several perspectives and often lacking informational support that would be acceptable for the lable, "fact". Dido for the Bible. Both have various pieces of information that can be proven one way or another, but both have some inconsistencies as well. I do, in fact, believe you, concerning the importance of these other stories, but my point is that the existence of such texts doesn't disprove anything in the Bible, just like the inconsistencies in Wikipedia usually don't disprove the claims made on that site. Also, here's a plug: Support Citizendium http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Main_Page It aims to be more reliable. Finally, in an effort stay in line with the subject, proving that one can induce a "god-sensing" state of mind does not prove that there is no god; we can do all kinds of funny things to the brain to make it sense things that aren't there.
I know this is late, but I had to answer: You're right - the book of Acts was most likely written by Luke, but the gospel book baring his name was mostly told from apostle Paul's perspective. (I'm pretty sure.) Anway, excellent point.
It's funny: An objective slashdotter with an ironic lack of knowledge about Microsoft would likely rate this as Flamebait, but the fact that Microsoft has been so consistent with their shady business activities has actually made them undeniable FUD mongers. Really, I'm trying to be as objective as possible here... "Office 2007 is *pretty cool*..."
Actually, it did exist in multiple places; they were just "compiled" into one place. (ie. Four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, all of which were written by different people, some of which were unrelated, save for their knowledge of Jesus)
...a seasoned pyro; at least in TFC? I never found much reward in using this class, and it doesn't seem to have improved from what I've seen and heard.
I think the ruling in this case was much more apropos than the privacy concerns in the past - privacy is one of those rights that seems to have very little force in the face of all kinds of laws. For example, many abortion proponents including R.B. Ginsberg have expressed that the ruling in RvW was regrettable because it was based on privacy rather than a more logical and constitutional standard. Still, this current case will likely hit the supreme court in one way or another, and by the time it gets seen there, will Bush still be in office; will the Patriot Act still be in effect, or will Congress have eliminated it by then?

1. This com system seems to be much more valuable (once debugged) than plenty of other gear the soldiers are carrying, so I would pose the question: Do any experienced soldiers see the benefit in ditching ten pounds of old gear for this gear?
2. Anyone arguing that the Iraqis are doing just as well should reconsider: they're lambs to the slaughter in a gunfight versus our trained military, and most of their successful kills result from sacrificing themselves. I'll leave the obligatory quote by Paton out - I'm sure you can guess...
3. Could it be that this is one more reason that we got into this war in the first place - to test the 'beta' designs of military research?
4. The real downside for us is this: micro-evolution; our soldiers might start using such advances as a crutch, get lazy, and then succumb to a more savvy fighter.
Yeah, but at least with the Falcon, you can smuggle 10 oz. of goods under the floor boards... Mom's Basement only features a used hooka and a hemp rug.
I deeply sympathize. However, last time shit like that went down for you guys (ie. English), you started a new country. It seemed you wanted better representation. Unfortunately, people who don't get represented need to work harder and endure more pain to get their point accross, so we might as well get started.
Maybe we really just need to take a broader approach: EVERYONE gets their DNA mapped and EVERYONE's DNA is made public. We should know just as much about government personel as they do about us. It's possible, and, I suppose, likely, that the information could be used for segregational purposes, but I think we should just bite the bullet and find a good way to render the information constitutionally now, instead of waiting for problems to show up. Bottom line: We're not going to be able to keep our DNA code a personal secret forever - just look what's happening to SS#'s.
This hits an important subject though: comprehensive use actually amounts to a lot of energy, which could ultimately lead to a large greenhouse gas footprint. Therefore, a lawsuit ruling that forces companies to produce products that have explicit means for being completely turned off could have more than one beneficial result.
Furthermore, your stem cells actually recombine DNA well after conception to form a completely unique "ID tag" and set of antibody "master codes" - it's sort of like recompiling your OS or customizing your distro. So, it follows that everyone, even identical twins, has a completely different immune system, and that is why one twin could get MS and the other couldn't, but have the same basic genetic structure.
Apparently, their questions pointed MS lawyers in the right direction, according to TFA. Also, "...in a double wammy decision, the court finds that polygamy is legal." (Futurama... sorry, I just had to.)
As dissatisfied as I tend to be of Microsoft's "advancements", I have to say that they should not be responsible for making their system impossible to screw up. Daddy just needs to learn to spend money on the high quality porn, instead of the cheap, virus loaded "Click for more!" free porn. But that doesn't address the fact that home users log in as admin. every time - no, that's a different hell right there; MS should make restricted access user accounts mandatory.
I believe the moral dilemma is actually over making changes without consulting the actor/actress. The way TFA put it, directors are not directing properly and then saying "Oh, wait, I should have had the actor do it differently...", so they have someone hack it instead of getting a real performance. I agree that there shouldn't be a problem with using CGI; but I also agree with the artists, that if you're going to change someone's work, you should at least let them know. Sometimes, if there's a chance to do a job better, you want to be able to take it.
-meaning to pay. That is to say, I know how much it costs for labor and parts to replace or fix something, and I've found Apple to require a great deal more than what I think is fair. Of course Apple isn't the only company that does this to people, but it's still a reason why I don't consider them some kind of 'savior' for the mobile phone world.
Try having them replace a part outside of warranty; it's not exactly a 'petroleum jelly' experience, if you catch my meaning... And, no, I don't throw away and buy new whenever the warranty is up.
What other laws are the "police" on top of? According to CNN Money [http://money.cnn.com/], Atlanta, GA, is listed as having a personal crime rate FIVE times the national average - and the "police" (Influenced by the RIAA) have the time and resources to bust people for selling unlicensed MIXES? It looks like some organizations need to have their priorities straightened, and perhaps that involves ignoring the RIAA when it comes calling for an entire SWAT team. "Guns drawn"? "Prepared for the worst"? What were the rappers going to do; bust a cap in they asses wit' a Mac book and some jewel cases? I don't think anyone is going to start a fire fight over a bunch of CDs; least of all a couple techies in a recording studio.
