Educational Goal: Myth Instead of Knowledge!

No church!

The Prolethicians in Düsseldorf have finally lost their minds, as they are advocating for a reference to God in the education law:

A draft law by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia intends the following reformulation for §2 of the school law: "To awaken reverence for God, respect for the dignity of man, and willingness for social action is the highest goal of education."

As an atheist, I feel personally attacked and offended by such nonsense. We have a separation of state and religion in Germany - and it should stay that way. The demand for reverence towards a superstitious institution is an absurdity and an insult to every atheist and has simply no place there.

IBM offers bounty for Exchange customers - clear message (although Notes vs. Exchange is like "driving out the devil with Beelzebub" to me)

python-constraint - had I already seen this? Doesn't matter, there's a new link and everything is repeated on TV anyway. Constraint solver in Python. Could definitely be interesting for projects.
