The Catholic Church and Evolution
Not yet seen in other media, so here's a link to the New York Times: Leading Cardinal Redefines Church's View on Evolution - New York Times:
The cardinal, Christoph Schönborn, archbishop of Vienna, a theologian who is close to Pope Benedict XVI, staked out his position in an Op-Ed article in The New York Times on Thursday, writing, "Evolution in the sense of common ancestry might be true, but evolution in the neo-Darwinian sense - an unguided, unplanned process of random variation and natural selection - is not."

Keith Devens - Weblog: I hate PHP - August 13, 2003 - he also doesn't like PHP

SPB-Linux is a very small Linux that can be booted from a USB flash drive and enhanced with various extensions (X, Mozilla, XFCE Desktop). It should also be relatively easy to extend with various system administration tools.
Spyce is a Python web framework with damn good performance: a simple page with a template behind it delivers over 90 hits per second on my machine (Spyce integrated into Apache via mod_python, memory cache). Take that, PHP!
Spyced: Why PHP sucks - a rather good analysis of what is rather annoying about PHP.
