Religion

  • July — The Council of Rimini is held. Its purpose was to, once again, try to resolve the Arian controversy. Given Saint Jerome's comment that, "The whole world groaned in astonishment to find itself Arian", it appears to have failed.

This article is about theological views like those of Arius. ... “Saint Jerome” redirects here. ...

Linux Today - 359 Choices (814 words)
I would agree that the average curious user of Linux could be overwhelmed by the sheer number of distros listed over on Distrowatch.
Most of the time, such end-users are going to look at the top five distros mentioned there (or on similar sites); not at the 359 total currently listed.
For all those pundits who have or are planning to raise up this inane issue, here's a list of 359 things off the top of my head of things we consume or use that we have to make a choice about.
Wolf 359 (939 words)
It was discovered photographically by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.
Flares on Wolf 359, however, are rarer and not as violent as those observed on Proxima Centauri, Kruger 60 B, or UV Ceti.
Wolf 359 is a flare star, like UV Ceti (Luyten 726-8 B) shown flaring at left.
