Thank you for repeating me ("CPS is still a Zope 2 CMF product"). But it should be pointed out that they could have written a 2.9 app and completely avoided interfaces, schemas, zcml and any parts of 3. To be pedantic, it's really more a Five app, the bridge between 2.x and 3.x. You can continue to argue the difference between "leveraging Zope 3 components" vs "leveraging Zope 3 component architecture" if you wish, but it seems silly to me.
True that CPS is still a Zope 2 CMF product, but the summary is correct - it leverages Zope 3, leverage being the key word. And I mean beyond just having Five included in the Zope core. I'm looking at the download, and they're incorporating the Zope 3 testing mechanism with functional and unit tests, plus they use Zope 3 interfaces, schemas, and some ZCML.
The "no this and that" list may apply to some DoD networks, but it's not DoD wide. We are discouraged to access streaming media, but it's not disallowed or filtered, Hotmail, gmail, Yahoo mail all work, etc. Any chat programs (including IRC), browser tool-bar add-ons are forbidden and scanned for. OTOH, I've experienced whole IP ranges being blocked because one site in that range was deemed bad, even though other sites in the range were legitimate and necessary (software, documentation) for our work.
I think it's hilarious how, on their about/users page, PostgreSQL have changed the meaning behind the LAMP acronym to Linux/Apache/Middleware(Perl,PHP,Python,Ruby)/Post greSQL. The Ruby folks should be happy, it solves the LAMP/R problem and doesn't leave them out like LAPP would.
I've gone back and forth between ActivePython and regular python.org Python on Windows, and I can't honestly see any benefit to using ActivePython for my particular needs. I recently tried Komodo and I like it. I'd tried it years ago and ruled it out, but now it's much better. PyDev on Eclipse wasn't working well enough for me (esp. on Mac), though I'm about to try the latest version. But Komodo Professional is a bit pricey, and more than Wing IDE.
I recall that much of Europe was very much against the US intervention. I was in Europe just before we (the US) began any military action, and I saw protests in Vienna and got an earful in Munich about their disgust with our intended actions. I don't recall what the European governments' reactions were, but there was a lot of popular protest against US involvement.
Not that I disagree with most of your points, but I had to correct your notion that the entire world was in agreement with Clinton's decision. I often hear this point raised, and it's just not right.
I was unemployed and got a call from a big contractor looking for the skills I had in my Monster resume. I had no clearance, so I sat in an office with my Escort Required badge until they got my provisional clearance, which eventually turned into a real clearance. I guess I was lucky - after the dotbomb layoffs and then 9/11, it seemed like having a clearance was a job requirement for anything in the DC area. I imagine the smaller companies aren't going to shell out to get you cleared, but the larger ones might if your skills match the job they want to fill.
I have Windows 2000, I have QuickTime 7.0.3 plugin and verified it works on the movie trailers on the Apple site. Yet the Apple page referred to above also crashes my Firefox 1.5. I have experieced quite a few 1.5 crashes on other sites as well.
According to Perens, Stallman "willingly unwrapped it to go through any of the visible check-points", so he wasn't held just so they could scan his badge. They harassed him because his foil gesture was subversive and wasn't "playing along" and that threw them for a loop.
Tell me about it. On the other hand, don't, because my wife sure does after I ditched Windows and got a Mac. Now naver.com doesn't work 100%, mostly due to Windows IE-specific JavaScript. They definitely code to the majority browser; my wife says "why should they bother with web standards if it works for IE and everyone uses IE?" I've also noticed that Koreans must like moving flashing images jumping all around, because their web pages just won't sit still;)
Those "wrong" scientific theories you mention are not scientific theories. That's a big part of the problem here, the misunderstanding of what science is (and isn't) and what a theory is.
Does no one ask why Intelligent Design proponents are not clamoring to get their views into Chemistry, Physics, and other science classes besides biology? After all, every science has gaps in understanding or evidence. They all use theories, and since ID'ers like to trivialize the word theory with air quotes, why don't they feel their "theory" (which is actually a hypothesis or less) of an intelligent designer doesn't have a place in the other sciences?
This is obviously a rhetorical question - but I feel it is a clear example of the fact that the ID movement is totally an ideological, and political, movement bent on removing evolution from the classroom, and a dishonest movement as well. Their egotism concerning human origins is intense, so while an ID'er can ignore teaching physics students "some scientists believe the laws of physics were designed and put into place by an intelligent force", they cannot stomach a branch of science that to them makes humans less than the image of a god. Since they can't teach their Sunday School lessons in science class, they wrap it up to look vaguely like science, use a bunch of smoke and mirrors arguments, and get god into school that way.
And where in your citation does it specify that a needle means a "tiny sewing implement"? You dispute the poster's assertion that the needle in question refers to a much larger implement, and yet your citation could equally support that interpretation. Do you also assume that "bottle of hay" refers to a glass beverage bottle, filled with a small amount of hay?
Considering that the Onion now looks like scrambled eggs, I don't think I'll RTFA. Where does the eye go when viewing the site? Decisions, decisions. Oh, and the AdBlock tabs all over the Onion's page, on what are not ads but content, don't help the mess, either.
The article didn't go specifically into whether this would apply to non-commercial sites. I currently develop web apps using GPL'd software for the defense department, some of which are publicly available. You know what will happen if GPL 3 says I have to have a link to "download the source of this application" on my sites? A directive that forbids use of GPL software, that's what, and hello Microsoft.

Their totally-Zope 3 work is announced at http://www.z3lab.org/.
My God! Those Slashdotters who always post "I'm going to patent gravity" to any patent story were really on to something!

And I listen to radio on iTunes at work for free, and I can listen to a lot of music I really like that I would never hear on free radio (in the USA).

Just too error-prone? Care to explain?
And yet now, after viewing a movie trailer with Quicktime plugin, when I revisit the iPod features page that previously crashed, it works fine.

I used to think Guinness would make a good beer float (as in, ice cream float) but never got around to trying it. I should patent it!

Do science classes in Israel teach this view that the world was created by God?

Blackboard was, I believe, an ASP.NET product
Blackboard started out in Perl and moved to Java. I interviewed with them back in the Perl days.
Rather, the Needless-Markup (Niemann-Marcus) of databases.
