So, I think I'm getting an old SPARC workstation soon for next to nothing. It's a Sun Blade 2000. Any idea what I should do with it? I already have a server with 1.5 TB of hard drive space serving media and a few other applications. I can't upgrade the space in this thing higher than 73 GB as...

According to Orthodoxy: divinely inspired?

So I attended a daily Mass today in Reykjavik. Icelandic, Italian, Latin, and English all made their way into the liturgy at some point. It was rather odd. The Mass was a first communion and nunly consecration Mass. The songs and most of the prayers were in Icelandic. The homily was in Italian...

Catholics and other western Christians believe in a more "mechanical" version of apostolic succession. Orthodoxy of doctrine is not necessarily required to maintain a valid line of succession (licitness is another thing). The Eastern Orthodox, and I assume Oriental Orthodox, believe that...

Some people might remember that Italy was challenged legally on the presence of crucifixes in some state schools. Apparently, the European Court of Human Rights has sided with Italy. There was "[n]o violation of Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 (right to education) to the European Convention on Human...

Have any of you used them before? I've been hunting for some albums from a rather obscure international futurepop electronic music group, and this is one of the places that supposedly has the albums for sale. The site looks legit, but the lack of SSL encryption when I was registering for an...

Thought this was interesting: Iowa family preps for backyard chat with Obama - USATODAY.com My main guess is that this is mostly a PR stunt. Must be amazing for that family though.

After reading a thread about this in one of the Congregation forums, I knew this topic would go over oh so well here! Intelligent design to be taught in Queensland schools under national curriculum | Courier Mail At least they're keeping it out of the science classroom, but it doesn't...

Based on the popular General Theology topic, What happens to babies when they die?, the same question is now being asked of the Soteriology forum! One Calvinist poster asserted that all babies who die prematurely or early are of the Elect. Some others asserted this is not the case. So, what are...

So yeah, today I decided to go to a Tridentine Mass. It was in Latin. The church is about 40 minutes (20 miles) away from the church I normally go to. I was disappointed that the Mass wasn't sung; it was only a Low Mass with very little singing. The problem wasn't that the priest faced away...
