"I may just be missing something but what is word verification about then if not to stop spammer (bots) from leaving unwanted comments?"
You're right. The ability to turn on captchas in Blogger comments is to fight the spammers/spam bots leaving comments. The "flag?" feature is to flag (among other things) splogs. Two different tools, but with the same goal of reducing spammers of some sort.
A followup was posted on Blogger Buzz trying to explain further just what will happen to flagged blogs. The way I read it was that no blog will be _removed_ unless it violated the Terms of Service, but blogs flagged as objectionable by a wide range of users will be delisted.
It's cool, my book IS shallow

Two Books On Plone

I wrote Plone Content Management Essentials and it IS shallow, on purpose. In general, it's the book to hand to the PHBs if you need to explain things to them in language they understand. Or, use it to get your feet wet before jumping into the hard-core Zope site/Plone site/Andy's book, etc. Errata and TOC at thickbook.com if anyone needs it. I don't think SAMS has it online yet.
I have a 17" Gateway M675 and it fits perfectly (with adapter, cables, coolpad and even room for books and other sundry school items) in a Crumpler "Very Busy Man" messenger bag. It is well-padded, there are a great number of pockets, and the straps are very sturdy.
The drawback is the price (110+ at eBags, Amazon, etc) but I got mine at J&R Music & Computer World for $80. It is so very worth the $80, although I know the original poster was looking something in the $50 range...this is so much better than any Targus or standard laptop bag I've ever used.
Plus, it looks cool.:)
The transcript is not of an article, it's of a talk. It was not meant to be "readable", although it is, it was meant to be "listenable", not dry and paper-like.
