Please provide a scientific scale of opinion. Serious. A definable, measurable scale of how we can determine the amount of opinion in news versus what might be termed content.
Hint: there's no such thing. Human beings tend to formulate and process information based on context. This contextualization colors our ability to process raw data and interpret events clearly.
So citing a study that seeks to show how much less 'bias' is on one network versus another is horseshit from the get-go. When you dig a little and find that liberal organizations are backing it, well, you can take your pseudo-scientific stand that gets you a +1 insightful from the wingnut mods, or you can realize that it's horseshit from a horseshit organization.
I took the latter approach.
Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you what kind of person you are.
I also work for a firm that uses Notes. Having said that, they have killed their office suite, Notes is not gaining adopters. In fact, it's losing market share. Notes migration path to newer technologies is horrendous. DB2? Please. You want to be an IBM fanboy, that's fine. But they are not gaining/building market share. So while they charge plenty of $$$$, it's to cover for the seats they're losing.
What folks fail to realize is that time (of the clock and calendar variety) is merely an arbitrary and artificial measure of events, not some absolute in terms of Tuesdays always being Tuesday.
How long it would take for the associated energy savings to overcome the cost to make, test, and deploy the necessary code changes?
AFAIK, most folks use the system time which means that only OS folks would have to worry about this. Besides, when would creating more work for IT folks be a bad thing?

I still haven't been able to tell what makes a blog any different. I guess if it's whiney and useless enough, it qualifies as a blog.
Some blogs have not only discovered and reported news, they have also reported news on mainstream media outlets *cough* CBS *cough* making up news.
Some people think that might count for something.
Boy, all the Republicans against this bill pointed out that limiting campaign contributions was tantamount to limiting free speech. (I don't recall any Democrats against this as their two biggest special interests, Unions and the Press, are exempted specifically.)
Kind of like when Clinton signed the Violence Against Women act allowing prosecutors to dig into a person's private sexual history for background.
Nothing like the Law of Unintended Consquences, eh?
And counting down for the modbombing in 3, 2, 1...
First off, you say three and name four. You must be a project manager.;-)
Secondly, if you can ignore WYSIWYG (please, what is 'preview' mode for?) then check out drupal. Small, tight, easy to configure, treelike structure. You'll spend more time trying to figure out your categories than you will doing other crap to get it rocking. Themes are light and largely CSS based.
It's a freaking security nightmare. Once you get on the defacement lists, expect to get hit with every new 'sploit as soon as they're out. Francisco Burzi may be a nice guy, but he doesn't know shit about coding secure PHP. If you're going to run it, you'll at least need one of the secure releases or better yet...
Use drupal. Very solid, safe, secure and easily configurable. The toughest bit is figuring out taxonomy or categories that the various entries (blogs, forum topics, stories, etc.) adhere to. These things are all 'nodes', btw. But once you have your categories down, you're done.
You can even search for a script to do the conversion from phpNuke to drupal, and no drupal doesn't require any special directories. Give it a whirl.
And if folks are whoring sites, then I'll whore mine. Brew-Masters I have the throttle hooked up, so hopefully it won't get slashdotted, but then it doesn't look like this thread is getting a lot of comments.

The Django ate my baby.
From the article: "We have been using Xbox360 alpha dev kits (which are based on a dual-G5 platform)."
No kidding. Too funny.
...or notes.net. Good point.
But seriously, how did you learn about tabbed browsing?
The training wheels as it were.

First, Amazon has nothing to do with Ajax. Their sites don't even take good advantage of it
You fail it
You've got a lot of ignorance, arrogance and anger to overcome.
Good luck with that.

Wow, you cite a study from a group sponsored by a left wing group that says CNN has no bias.
Well, I guess that settles it then, there is no bias on CNN.
eGroupWare might do the trick. Especially since you didn't mention CMS as a need. Otherwise I would throw Drupal out there, too.
Why would anyone waste hardware and time doing this?
Not to be a troll, but you've got BSD running under the hood with a clean UI, so uh, what do you gain besides bragging rights?
Or am I missing something? I did read the fine article and I see they want their project to be OpenSource, but THEY ALREADY PAID FOR THE LICENSE!!!!

And let's talk software and their records with OS/2, Lotus Notes, AmiPro, Lotus 1-2-3...gee, am I forgetting anything else?
IBM should take a look at what they're good. Selling software? No.
Killing software? Definitely.
What you're saying is, "Lighten up, Francis?"
Was when Sophia Coppola got plugged.
I applauded. Her acting was _that_ bad.
Good stuff.

Fair enough, but a book, magazine, newspaper and pamphlet are all 'printed matter'. What's the difference there?
/.?
What's the difference between a 'story' and a Journal entry here on
On an abstract level they are all the same. On a functional level, they are dramatically different.
Some people break these difference down into 'strategic' and 'operational'.

Judging by your spelling, you are definitely a product of the fine Philadelphia school system.
Pray tell, which school did you attend? Bok?
World Vision is a pretty good company. I do work with them professionally, and they're a straight up organization.
And both those things will end in 3 years, bro.
My money is on number one lasting longer than number two.
