It really is a case of some being too easily offended. One woman was offended that a Hasidic Orthodox Jew would not sit by her, thinking it was hatred of women. In reality, the man is following his convictions to avoid touching women other

Sometimes, ideas become accepted because there is so much evidence in support of them that it would be perverse to believe otherwise (e.g., the Earth is round). Other times, however, ideas become widely accepted, even entrenched, without an

It's free for open source projects. For commercial enterprise, Raven is effectively $788/core/year [0]. Quite reasonable, IMO. Contrast this with MS SQL Server Enterprise, which appears to be $14,000/core one-time cost [

I personally believe there's a strong pro-Sabbath argument to be made from the New Testament: In the gospels, Jesus says he is the master of shabbat; how can a person be a master of something he is abolishing? Again in the gospels, we
