You don't adhere to atheism, no. But what people are more commonly adhering to is a particular brand propounded by Dawkins, Hitchens etc. which is anti-theist atheism, and there's the difference. Accusing believers of disavowing logic is itself a far-fetched, self-inflating stance that doesn't really discuss the possibilities.
Take the Big Bang. Most Christians believe it happened. Those who profess no belief and throw their lot in with science (believing there is nothing outside the physical universe) are happy to go with 'bang.' Is there logic in that? Not really. So it's just as likely there's another force create that event as there isn't.
Science can't disprove God and nor can believers 'prove' him. It's called faith.
Thetans, on the other hand. We can disprove them quite easily, along with e-meters and the like. That's the difference between faith and Scientology.
Correct. For those screaming about how closed-minded discussing ID or creationism is they are themselves being closed-minded and not getting the point.
Step 1: Put down The God Delusion. Step 2: Think for yourself. Mr Dawkins is terribly clever, yes, but you too have a brain. And being clever does not make him right about everything. Step 3. Read Reiss' article. It won't hurt. You might even learn something.
They might have been *supporting* it but they weren't *paying* for it. So you're right, but it was the government's money that was being pissed up against the wall. That 1.8bn would be much better spent on a no carbon wind or solar farm.
No, Novell's marketing is spot-on, it's the MS deal that's done it.
Novell haven't the faintest idea how to promote and articulate SUSE (do most people even know it's SUSE outside the geek community?) and are bleeding the people who can at a rapid rate, at least the ones I know.
CxO's don't give a toss about deals with MS, they care about brands and RedHat are as strong as they come backed up with better marketing.
I don't work for RedHat and I'm a Mac bigot, so I think I'm reasonably balanced.
It's the only way to avoid a repeat of their recent email outages. Typical Telstra. Rather than hit the people who do the damage, they just hit everyone who sends more emails than my Mum.

Haven't read it, but I wonder if they were using VT/Pacifica chipsets or no...
It's like Apple's claim that their Intel jobbies are 5x faster - a bit silly and very, very specific...
And yes, VMWare are hardly likely to mention that Xen-style virtualisation is going to be better now, are they?
Frag lots and frag often.

May I suggest reading the review for Lotus Challenge - that is honesty!
Mohamad Al Fayed? Who gives a toss?
The question I would ask, eyelashes batting, cap in hand, would be:
"Do you want an Australian distributor?"

By the way, guys, I have two words for your reasonably cheap thin client-ey thing for offices:
Sun and Ray.
To quote the vernacular, they go off like a frog in a sock.
