Computer games don't affect kids; I mean, if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
I note (from reading the Zope 3 book) that Zope itself is way more general than a content management system. Here is the quote:
Zope is an application and backend server framework that allows developers to quickly implement protocols, build applications (usually Web-based) and function as glue among other net-enabled services.
Of course, I've only just started poking through the documentation and so forth, but so far, Zope as a technology reminds me ASP.net, only more abstract and general.
In response to c2rtwhatever: Python is probably the easiest language I have looked at so far; a programmer who has already used other high level scripting or programming languages will find it easy to learn, even if they hate the forced indentation. This is not to say everyone should have to learn Python, but it's doable.:)
I'm a big fan of Morphix. I've used Morphix Lightgui (Comes with XFCE) and GNUStep (The distro) at various times and I think the project is headed good places. But then, I haven't used the original Knoppix in quite awhile. I should pick it up again.
I admit Gimp's windows are confusing at first, if you make no attempts to change them. Personally, I can make do with putting all of the dialogues in one bar and not using the screen space, or not having most of them visible until I need them.
Also, I really don't like MDI just because I find it clumsy. If Gimp had a tabbed setup like Firefox or something else with less metaphor shear, I would use that.
I certainly feel that anything with the word "paint" appended is probably underpowered for the job. On the other hand, I don't feel Gimp is an overpowering tool even for simple photo retouching. Gimp is actually a fairly compact tool compared to Photoshop, which insists on being in a huge window, takes much longer to start up, and is designed for images with 100's of layers and a high speed filter for absolutely everything. The trouble with Gimp, to my way of thinking, is that it's just a bit rough to find the right tool and dialogue, which was improved from 1.x to 2.0, and will probably improve more. YMMV.

But you'd have to have gotten started on it in March.
Searching For Bobby Fischer Based on a true story about Josh Waitzkin, some incredible child chess player. It's a cool movie.

How about "burning Libraries of Congress to CD"?
I would like to go to this, but I'm afraid the gamers would shoot me.
Yes, I have noticed that the docs are pretty cryptic. Agreed. (Wonder why that was modded down?)

I'm not sure I trust this "Britannica" thing. I wanna see it for myself. Does someone have a torrent?

The word they're looking for is 'perfection'.
