    Mambo is absolutely the best content management system out there as far as I am concerned.



    I built my website, http://www.nerdsystems.com/ in an hour with it and created my fiance's website in a little over two hours, at http://www.entertainmentwatch.com/



    I love all the features of Mambo, letting you create users so easily, having registered areas that only members can access. Check out http://www.entertainmentwatch.com/ and click on the games, and you can see how it says registered users only, then register an account and see how you can play games after logging in.



    I'm sure everyone already knows the great features of Mambo, just so glad this is out there, for those of us who don't know web design, and have no clue about design.



    I hope this name change keeps spreading the popularity with time, as Mambo is a wonderful program.

  2. Offtopic, but I have no blog to rant in. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    people are assholes. I've been staying with my sister Lisa and her fiancé Greg for the last week before I moved into my own place, and brought with me my pet hamster Molly. I'd had molly for two years, and taught her enough trust to come out of her cage willingly to me for attention and food. If there was a thunderstorm molly would walk back and forth at the cage door waiting for me to comfort her, only settling down once she was in my hands, or crawling inside my jacket, she was one of those animals who just trusted people.

    Three days ago molly disappeared from the cage, and I spent a frantic two days looking for her. Sis has two cats, and they were the biggest fear. I didn't think molly would have left the apartment, she'd have come when called, but I stopped looking last night. Sis and Greg were out visiting other friends, and in a fluke of snooping I went looking through their ixus. There were pictures of Sis and Greg playing with molly with one of the cats. they'd started taking photos once molly was too injured to stand, and had twenty photos and some movies of the torture. in some of the movies Sis held her hand out to molly and she crawled over to it, ever trusting, just to be flicked up in the air for the cat to catch or greg to kick. I can't get over how my sis was fucking LAUGHING when she did this. Didn't take long for me to find molly in their outside garbage bin stuffed into an OJ bottle, torn open almost inside out, her beautiful fur caked with blood

    I feel gutted. How another human being, one RELATED to me can do shit like this to a small animal, I can't fathom. the camera and molly have been taken to police who despite my fears are taking it very seriously. cunts. absolute cunts. I'm staying with some friends for a day or two until I can get another place to sleep until my apartment is ready next monday. I hate my family and the tears don't stop.

    thank you and back to slashdotting.

  4. Growing confusion within Wikipedia... by Ambush+Commander · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    With this sudden name change of Mambo to Joomla!, User:Bishonen has suddenly nominated both and Joomla!. There is extremly divisive debate on both pages, some people voting delete on the grounds that the articles are ads, others going "WTF are you doing! This is certainly notable!" Personally, I'm absolutely flabbergasted. What the hell are these Wikipedians doing?
