    Actually, there's even better than that - there's this stuff called 'Provigil' that's supposed have effects very similar to those of taking a nap. It's not a stimulant, it's a nap in a pill!

    flying Amish buggies. Wow. If you think pigeon droppings can be annoying, imagine a constipated horse letting loose from 500 feet!

    Imagine a Beo........nevermind.

    Anyhow, I hope to God they don't give a flying license to the Dave Matthews Band.

    "I know that I didn't type them," says Knox. "However, the information in those is correct."

    You keep tracking the rumors from your propaganda mill. The truth is that Bush Sr got Bush Jr into the National Guard ahead of a line of people who were sent to Vietnam instead. Their names on the Vietnam memorial forced the conscience of Ben Barnes to confess their draft dodging.

    Why doesn't that matter to you? Why don't you care that your president dodged the draft? How blind can you be?

  4. Re:The Documents might be forgeries by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on New Bush Guard Records Released
    A forgery would almost certainly have been done in a courier typeface . The forging of documents, and the forensics of relating typewritten materials to the machine of their origin is a well-known topic.

    I think that you mean a competent forgery would have been done in a courier typeface. Apparently not every prospective forger knows about the science of forensic analysis of documents.

    CBS News is now reporting that they may be forged as part of the story.

    ABC News apparently has a larger budget for vetting documents than CBS:
    More than half a dozen document experts contacted by ABC News said they had doubts about the memos' authenticity.

    "These documents do not appear to have been the result of technology that was available in 1972 and 1973," said Bill Flynn, one of country's top authorities on document authentication. "The cumulative evidence that's available ... indicates that these documents were produced on a computer, not a typewriter:"

  6. Zope Community? by crisco · · Score: 3, Informative · on Content Management Software - Build or Buy?
    Have you tried the Zope community for help?

    I've found the mailing list and #Zope on the Openprojects.net irc servers invaluable for solving problems with Zope. Remember the Zope Corporation and other have used Zope for high profile projects such as CBS New York.

    As far as the article topic, Zope has the CMF project which might give a good headstart on what they are after.

    Aha, I see other threads are pimping Zope and the CMF so I'll leave it at this...

    Zope scales very well. Your option is to use the ZEO Zope Enterprise Options which is a high level, multi-OS clustering ability. It runs just fine on www.CBSNewYork.com which is running on 48 dual processor linux boxes.

    I'd like to ask you how you stand on federal bill 602P," moderator Marcia Kramer, a correspondent for WCBS-TV, told the two rivals.
    I really can't blame the two senate candidates. Im sure not every politician in the US have memorized all pending Bill#s. This twit from "WC BS -TV" (emphasis mine) should be laughed right out of her job. Instead of hiring talking-head-bimbos and their Ken-Doll counterparts, why cant COMPETENT journalists be hired? Attractive isnt she? The sheeple respond well to pretty-journalists.

    [ogg-caveman-speak] Pretty Pictures...good - Big Words and Serious talk...bad[/ogg-caveman-speak].

    Im not saying you are incapable of intelligence if you are an attractive women, im saying that the likely hood (statistically) is less. Better odds that you are A) attractive or B) intelligent (same goes for men..*)I am beginning to think that the concept that 'all men are created equal' is going to be the downfall of the US. Fact is all men are NOT created equal. If decisions (at all levels) are going to continue to be made to play to the middle 60% of the population (sheeple) who arent capable of making minor decisions in their own lives were doomed. The sheeple continue to overwhelm the decisions made for the good of all (including themselves)... funny thing is most sheeple arent capable of understanding the argument let alone capable of rendering an informed, well-argued decision. I suggest the imposition of a test, like a drivers test, administered before any person is allowed to vote or participate in anything of consiquence be it nonprofit, governmental elections, town-council, BoyScout administration council - whatever.

  9. WCBS not yet acknowledging their screwup by Sudderth · · Score: 3 · on The E-mail Tax Hoax Meets The Candidates

    If you check out WCBS' web article about the debate, you'll notice not a single reference to the 602P hoax. On their message boards, however, a couple of people are screaming for the head of the moderator, "Chief Investigative/Political Reporter for NEWS 2" Marcia Kramer.

    My spider-sense tells me the Don Imus show (on sister station WFAN-AM) is going to have a field day tomorrow. I guess WCBS doesn't feel their own screwups are worth correcting.
