Atheism is as religious a position as Hinduism, or for that matter Agnosticism
Since when is the lack of a religion a religion? Thats like saying baldness is a hair color or that not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Great analogy!
But... it seems that your philosophy server is set to run in 24-bit mode (RGB), and not 32-bit mode (RGBA). (-:
To make the analogy complete, you need to say `hair state' instead of `hair colour'. Religion is not about God(s), religion is about what you believe, what you hold to be true. God(s) are a subset of that. If you believe in nothing supernatural at all, then your religion is, strictly speaking, Materialism. Materialism is a subset of Atheism (it is possible to believe in things outside nature which aren't in any sense Deity). They are all religious perspectives, although not religious organisations in the traditional sense (but visit the Church of Humanism for a second opinion).
WRT the stamps, the complete analogy is: stamp-destroying is as much a hobby as stamp-collecting. The Atheist PoV is there definitely is no God.
Er, Atheists try to dismantle other religions. Atheism is as religious a position as Hinduism, or for that matter Agnosticism.
I just look at it, laugh, and continue dealing with reality.
By `reality' I guess you mean the material Universe that you believe is all that exists? If so, that's a religious position too, namely Materialism. There's even an -ism for people to object to being tagged with -isms. (-:
if only/. editors would creat a mod catagory for "Overly Judgmental" people...
Nah, the overly judgemental people would over-use it. (-:
our AD implementation has single-handedly won over at least two previous MS-bigots to running linux machines at their desktops.
One of my Windows-besotted clients runs AD, a very small site. It is such a pain in the a-, er, rear, that when they next update (to XP, sigh), it's headed out the door.
Their external (Linux+BIND9) and internal (Win2k+AD) DNSes have different opinions of some critical names, AD's opinion is wrong, and there's no easy way to fix that. They derive no positive benefit from AD at all, it constantly tries to fill the external DNS servers with crap (was actually filling the externally-hosted DNS secondary with crap when I arrived), so one of their DNSes is going to take over DHCP and domain control, they're gunna ditch AD. It was originally installed to please a now-ex-parent company, and some of the AD config emplaced for that has contributed to their problems too.
Go read elevator.c from the Linux kernel. If you have kernel sources installed, file:///usr/src/linux/drivers/block/elevator.c might work for you (slashdot butchers that URL).
You could XWarpCursor it to a position off the screen.
Run MS-Office? Probably wrong question.

Wine Terminal Servers?

The right question would involve working with and exchanging Microsoft Office documents, in which case your answer is OpenOffice.org, and you can start off by running that under Windows, and continue to run it on machines that remain Waindows for whatever reason.
In general, you should be replacing apps that are tied to Windows with portable ones (e.g. replace IE with Mozilla) first or in parallel with setting up a thin-client LAN.
I use both WINE and Win4Lin in LTSP-like situations. Win4Lin is actually running Windows, so of course compatibility is much better, but Win4Lin isn't any good for high-bandwidth (video) or 3D (games) stuff, even not over a LAN. Both WINE and Win4Lin usually run an app noticeably faster that it would natively on the same machine.
Sound is also very expensive on bandwidth. For these situations, running the app locally is often appropriate. Even a Pentium 133 with 32M of RAM will play Oggs and MP3s without flinching.
In terms of workstations, network and video card, in that order, are most important, followed by RAM. Run the workstations through a switch, not a hub. If the link switch-server can be gigabit, even better. It's actually hard to buy seriously crappy-spec video cards these days (although SiS are working hard to fill this niche), but if you can get, for example, TNT-2 cards to replace S3Virge cards cheaply, then do it. A good card will give much more satisfying results, even if (as in this example) the driver itself (nv, but you also have the choice of NVidia's binary-only drivers which are much faster and slightly buggier) isn't so hot.
If you're buying diskless workstations new, then a well-chosen nForce board is good. If you put a hard disk in the workstation, you find that the board is trying to do too much, and you often get glitches and low performance; but if it's only running LAN and video, it seems to get along just fine. It's also hard to buy less than 128MB of memory these days, which makes the option of running multimedia apps locally (shipping only the compressed source data over the LAN) much more attractive.
Most of them are 15-21V input, even if the battery inside is nominally 12V. Even the ones that are 12V really do mean 12V, will stop charging at 11.5V and blow up at 14V (not uncommon in a car to see swings 8-15V, spikes to zero and x00V).
Andrew's going to sucker-punch me for mentioning this, but there's an Australian company about a month away from releasing a large-sandwich-sized PC which can conceptually have it's own internal 12V LA battery (really LA, or SLAC) for UPS-like effects and so you can wire your car battery into that spot in the circuit. A 12V screen might be another story but if you're reinventing the empeg that doesn't matter. The PC sucks about 15W flat tack, less for the slower totally-fanless versions.

Y2.038k == 32-bit time counter at one tick per second since 1970 runs out of ticks (to be exact, 19-January-2038 at 3:14:08 AM GMT).
Value must be signed because signed arithmetic is widely done on it, so making it unsigned won't work. Value is traditionally `long' so not a problem on 64-bit machines (like Alpha) for a while but major hassles with old software (that doesn't use time_t type) on 32-bit machines.

From Ezekiel 4:6 - `I have appointed thee each day for a year.' There is much supporting text, but basically it has been so popular because it works: it matches history rather nicely.
The foundational system of interpretation that uses this extensively and fits history so well is called Historicism, and the Roman Catholic Church don't like it very much because it identifies them as antiChrist... so Alcazar and Ribera, a couple of Jesuits, invented Futurism (which tears of and places a critical chunk of the prophecy waaay in the future, now supported by the Catholic-influenced Christian Right) and Praeterism (which uses a minor king name Antiochus Epiphanes as antiChrist, treats the 1260 days as literal, and pronounces the prophecy fulfilled and ended, now supported by other factions who can't buy Futurism but don't like Historicism because it's an ecumenical barrier).
...talking about a `UI-complexity slider' as a means of adjusting a whole flock of UI settings to expose or mask various features of the UI. I only used the package selector as an illustration of something akin to this which had already been tried.

As an added bonus, it seems likely that it can double as a generator, that is, electricity can be pulled out directly with no extra moving parts.
