It's Protestants who claim evolution is a lie, and the Earth is 6,000 years old. Catholics believe that evolution and the Big Bang are the most likely explanations for why we are here, they accept that Genesis is a metaphor.

While I'm certainly in favor of a large scale rampup of the American manned space program, including colonies on the Moon, and on Mars for a variety of reasons (getting humanity off the Earth, spreading American ideals of human rights, equality and economic freedom, and gaining the military high ground to secure American freedoms against Oriental expansion), calling L5 a bridge to heavens is inaccurate, it may be a poetic metaphor, but I expect better of our level headed engineer trained astronauts.
There is only one Heaven, and you get there by following the True Church. So, let's just call L5 a bridge to the continued Pax Americana (which, to be true, is close to a heaven on Earth, for those who like freedom, equality, liberty and guns).
Catholics have been oppressed and scapegoated in England ever since Henry the 8th decided he wasn't getting enough nookie, and broke with the True Church.

Farewell To The Concorde

I recall seeing all the women in my freshmen engineering prep classes. Come senior year, most of them had moved onto other fields (the usual progression was Aero or Electrical or Mech E to Industrial E, then Business, then Elementary Ed, English or Nutrition), they found they enjoyed working with people, children and cooking far more than they enjoyed calculating stresses or thermo problems. It's almost like women were created to be happier at home.
Bigger than the Concorde even, but the hippies all rallied together (they must have been out of marijuana) and had enough protests that Boeing decided it wasn't a good business move.
The internet is a vital part of our nations infrastructure, and letting a few shopkeepers with a passion for lucre hold the keys is asking for trouble. All it takes is a Mohammedan with a briefcase of oil money, or a Oriental with a few crates of gold, and the integrity of our internet is lost.
Fortunately, there is a group of professionals who have decades of sterling experience of providing instant readiness, while controlling unimaginable power. I refer, of course, to SAC, the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command.
If we can rely on them to hold the Commies in check for decades, with only minor losses to spying, I think the root servers would be safe with them. A few in Cheyenne Mountain, a few in Nebraska, Thule, Diego Garcia, and some undisclosed locations, and the internet will be safe from foreign invaders as long as our great flag flies.

It is a good parable about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions.
It's okay Timothy, the True Church understands the Bible can not be interpreted directly as the immutable Word of God, so if the heretical snake handlers come after you, you can seek refuge in Rome.
I think any geek worth his salt can see that they're lying about the merits of the suit, they've already released everything with thier Linux distributions, and they top execs are dumping stock as fast as they can.
So, I see at least Two Commandments broken here, Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness, and Thou Shall Not Steal.
Sadly, I doubt the courts will apply any punitive measures, even when SCO loses. I think if the top SCO execs, and Bois, were to be publically flogged on the Washington Mall, we might see a return to ethics in the boardroom.
For instance, a tow truck or taxi driver may charge a well-to-do suburban driver who breaks down in the inner city several times the going rate, just to get their rich butt to safety.
And imagine the poor diabetic about to go into insulin shock at the pharmacy, why, they'd pay treble to stave off a medical emergency.
Now, a nice sense of business ethics, based on such hokey premises such as "Thou Shalt Not Steal" might mitigate this, but I have trouble imagining it in our liberalist society.
The article doesn't mention it, but when you need parallel texts written in many different languages, the Bible is very convenient.
Regardless of one feeling's about the Revealed Word of God, as a linguistic resource it's amazing. Look up the story of Q to see how linguistic theologians compared different versions of the Gospels, in different languages, to see what they think Jesus actually said, and what was paraphrased, added. Of course, the snake handling heretics of the Protestant Church believe every word is sacrosanct.
Today, the biggest leader in translating Bibles into other languages is the Church of the Latter Day Saints, I guess when Mormon Elders take two or three wives, the younger academic men have lots of time to learn strange languages.
in thinking that "Joe Sixpack" has the training and ability to handle such complex ideas and technology. Fortunately, in the IT world this only causes "rooted" servers and a bloated IT infrastructure, in the real world it leads to inbred hillbillies thinking that picking up rattlesnakes is some sign of redemption, when by disavowing the True Church they're really heading straight into Hell.
I do find your "shaft" metaphor a disgusting, homosexualist shaded concept, please desist from such perverted thoughts.
In that it can "weed" out the Joe Sixpacks out there who really have no business at all installing software, or hardware.
Sadly, once "Joe Sixpack" has installed a DVD-burner, or some software, they start thinking they are computer masters, and rapidly rise to their level of incompetence. Haven't we all been burned by paper MCSE's who can do little but click buttons? Amusing enough at home, but deadly in the workplace.
It's very analogous to the introduction of the vernacular Mass. When Masses were said in Latin, with the priest facing away from the people, it was a much more mysterious, deep experience. Now that English is used for Mass, the people, without the benefit of years in a seminary, have all become amatuer theologians, thinking that birth control, homosexuality and ecumenalism are all okay, instead of being the one way tickets to eternan Damnation that the Holy See has repeatedly declared them to be.
So, I think we need more computer jargon, computer cases only openable by licensed tech, and a return to Latin Mass.
I see all these geeky, undersocialized young men, afraid of the opposite sex, and only able to relate to other people through obscure, intellectualized, estoreric knowledge, and I say to myself, these boys would do very well in a seminary.
It's a shame that priestly vocations have been so vilified, when many of these young "geeks" might thrive in an intellectual, all male, celibate atmosphere. I know I do my part, whenever I hear of a "LAND" party near my parish, I stop by with flyers advertising the local Mass. Sometimes I even bring in a young priest who "cut his teeth" on games like Asteroids or Space Invaders, who can better relate to these gamers.
I've always been a fan on Novell. I cut my teeth on Netware 3.12, and was always impressed with it's stability (plus, it's lack of virii, ever hear of a Novell virus).
Once you got to Novell 4 and 5, you were able to manipulate very large scale networks, with thousands of users, something MS barely does (one PDC?) and Linux not at all. It makes me laugh when Linux Zealots talk about replacing corporate networks with Linux servers, and the largest network they've administered is 3 Pentiums and a Pentium II for playing Doom.
Yeap, one big step for more Linux in real, corporate networks.

Brookhaven Lab and Argonne Lab Scientists
Invent a Plasma Valve
UPTON, NY â" Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory have received U.S. patent number 6,528,948 for a device that shuts off airflow into a vacuum about one million times faster than mechanical valves or shutters that are currently in use. The new device, called a plasma valve, was developed through research funded by DOEâ(TM)s Office of Basic Energy Sciences in the Office of Science.
In synchrotron light sources, other particle accelerators, and various other scientific instruments, where plasma valves can be put to use, a vacuum allows very high-energy electron beams to circulate in rings for hours. These electron beams interact with magnetic fields to generate x-rays, ultraviolet light, and other forms of radiation that travel unimpeded through beam lines used for experiments. When the vacuum is breached, air moves in with great force, the electron beam loses confinement, and its energy is deposited on vacuum walls. The faster the breach can be contained, the less damage there will be to the ring, beam lines, and the experiments that use those beam lines.
The need for a fast valve at Argonneâ(TM)s Advanced Photon Source led Argonne engineers to explore the potential use of plasma arcs previously developed for electron welding guns. The Argonne team â" Sushil Sharma, John Noonan, Elbio Rotela, and Ali Khounsary â" joined Ady Hershcovitch from Brookhaven to develop the plasma valve.
Hershcovitch explained the advantages of the plasma valve: "Unlike traditional valves, a plasma valve has no moving parts, does not require much maintenance, and establishes a vacuum-air separation much faster. Also, it is completely nondestructive. In contrast, existing ultra-fast valves and shutters can cause damage to machinery when triggered."
When activated, the plasma valve is composed of an ionized gas, or a gas with charged particles confined by electric and magnetic fields, that fills an airtight aperture. When the plasma reaches certain temperature and density parameters, it separates atmospheric pressure from a vacuum, which must be devoid of pressure.
When a vacuum is breached, a plasma arc is ignited in less than one nanosecond inside the plasma valve. The valve's outer structure is comprised of a hollow, water-cooled copper cylinder located between three cathodes and a hollow anode ring at the opposite end of the cylinder.
At 15,000 degrees Celsius (27,032 degrees Fahrenheit), the plasma valve is about 50 times hotter than room temperature when measured in degrees Kelvin. This intense heat makes the ionized atoms and molecules move around and collide with air molecules so rapidly that the ions block any air molecules that might pass through the plasma valve.

For example, they use their bright beams of light to examine the minute details of computer chips to make more efficient computers, decipher the structures of viruses to work on developing new pharmaceuticals, investigate magnetic materials to make better recording devices, and study corrosion to develop new methods for its prevention.
