- zobar on dragonfire1024’s “Wikinews.org proposes WNN TV” There is no doubt that adding a/v content can bring an added dimension to text/image based reporting methods, but there are pitfalls to be aware of. [I have been around this block a couple times, and I want to be clear that I am not hating…
- metalpeter on dragonfire1024’s “Poll: Americans want Bush impeached” The thing to remember about Polls like that (not that I took it or read it) is that they are kinda faulty or missleading sometimes. It has been said on the site many times (and I agree with it) that most media is biased. However most media…
- zobar on dragonfire1024’s “Impersonation is a bit**” Guess what, man ... it's not just Buffalo Rising. http://buffalopundit.wnymedia.net/archives/4337 - Z
- buffalopundit on dragonfire1024’s “Channel 4 News and plagerism” Plagiarism is how it's spelled, and it's not necessarily illegal. Just unethical. Copyright infringement is illegal, but since Wikinews runs a creative commons license, anyone can use it with attribution. The thing with Channel 4 is that a…
- buffalopundit on dragonfire1024’s “Elmwood Village Hotel off the table/dead” The devil you know is oftentimes better than the devil you don't. Bear that in mind.
- metalpeter on dragonfire1024’s “Channel 4 News and plagerism” Plagerism is taking someone elses Idea and presenting it as your own idea, in wrighting. As long as you don't say it is your own idea it isn't plagerism. Granted the source could be wrong but that isn't plagerism. The other question is was…
- jenks on dragonfire1024’s “Channel 4 News and plagerism” Not that I condone plagiarism- but it seems to me that Panos being open 24/7 since the blizzard is Common Knowledge- and it is not necessarily plagiarism if two sources report it... especially if the wording isn't even the same...
- uncutsaniflush on dragonfire1024’s “Channel 4 News and plagerism” Did you consider the possibility that whoever at Channel 4 responsible for the story was too stupid to know the difference between Wikinews and WNY Media? I find it curious that the info is attributed to WNY Media by Channel 4. Plagerists …
- metalpeter on dragonfire1024’s “Elmwood Village Gatekeepers launch site” I admit that you and I disagree on the hotel plans. I myself think it is an anti progress and nimby movement my self. I think in Buffalo there is this anti devolpment movement. But they do bring up a good point. So here is an idea that wou…
- libertad on dragonfire1024’s “Panos restaurant ending overnight shift” I see very little reason to go there now. It seems to me that young people are the reason his restaurant is successful today. If he wants to alienate them from his restaurant, that is his option.
- joshua on dragonfire1024’s “Panos restaurant ending overnight shift” Mike you need to go there for a mimosa during a sunny afternoon - you will love it! Actually I'm happy for Pano. He is right about not wanting to/having to tolerate the late night bullshit. Its just a shame that the hooligans forced Pano's…
- mike on dragonfire1024’s “Panos restaurant ending overnight shift” Panos used to be soo cool, years ago...then i started to hate it when it started to fancify and try to knock down old houses...now it is closing at night..i've lost any last vestiges of love
- jason on dragonfire1024’s “Panos restaurant ending overnight shift” Perhaps someone will take the opportunity to open another all night joint.
- uncutsaniflush on dragonfire1024’s “Opposers of Hotel launch counter protest” fwiw, I don't think that they are saying that you and others who oppose the hotel are crazy or a yellow fruit. BANANA is an acronym for "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything" or "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone" th…
- zobar on dragonfire1024’s “Elmwood Village Hotel proposal withdrawn” 'Mondo Video is planning on moving to a new location' Do you know where? You'd think somebody around here would have the scoop, considering that M. is also our film editor - but nobody seems to know. - Z
- leetee on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” I don't have much in the way of words of wisdom for you. I quit smoking about a year and a half ago after smoking for 25 years. I didn't do it in a typical way and i hate hate hate to exercise. All i have to say to you is... good luck and …
- mrdt on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” I used the gym for two months or so then broke myself from the gum. I think I increased my narcotics intake too. I took me six months to stop constantly thinking about it but maybe you'll be lucky and won't have an obsessive complex about …
- libertad on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” I know it's hard, but it gets easier. I agree with e:paul, excercise is key. It has been two months since my last smoke and the days I work out are so much easier. You eventually stop thinking about it less and less. If you were a heavy sm…
- paul on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” I quit smoking in december (after like 10 years) and never had another cigarette. Lots of pictures of diseased lungs worked fo me. I mean I know its gross but just start looking them up whenever you crave cigarettes. Also, the gym helps or…
- ladycroft on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” what you described is not really the craving for the nicotine, but the behavior. when you're bored, on the computer....you must find something little you can do to replace the old one, perhaps a squishy ball. you can do it!
- boxerboi on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” Good luck! I agree with e:jenks, it's better than smoking. Your lungs will thank you in a few weeks :o)
- jenks on dragonfire1024’s “Cigarettes” good luck to you... the gum worked well for my mom b/c you can chew it when you have a craving, unlike the patch. Two years later she still chews a lot of it, but I guess it's still better than smoking.
- ajay on dragonfire1024’s “9/11 Pentagon Video” What I don't understand is: why the need to keep this video secret? It's not like people didn't see what happened? Honestly: what possible reason was there to hide these tapes? There were many other cameras which captured events in that ne…
- libertad on dragonfire1024’s “9/11 Pentagon Video” From what I can see the released videos do not disprove the conspiracy theories. Certainly numerous events of 9/11 seem fishy, but I just don't understand why it would be necessary for the government to damage the Pentagon themselves? I ca…
- metalpeter on dragonfire1024’s “Lawsuit filed against City of buffalo.” I read an article about that in the Buffalo News today. I understand that there is a opostion to the Hotel but I think sueing the city is a bad idea. If I where opposed to the Hotel and thought it was a horid Idea I would still think that …
- museumchick on dragonfire1024’s “Family” My thoughts go out to your sister and your family. I hope she'll heal and have a good recovery.
- leetee on dragonfire1024’s “Family 2” Please send your sister get well wishes from me. And the gift of hope and possitive thinking for her, you and the rest of her family and friends. As for the colours you are seeing here -- Paul has created several themes that can be changed…
- leetee on dragonfire1024’s “Family” So sorry to hear about your sister. Thank goodness the abnormal cells were found now. I have been through something similar, but without the early detection, so i feel hopeful and optomistic for your sister's recovery. I wish her and your …
- jenks on dragonfire1024’s “Family” Hey... Sorry to hear it too. And granted I don't know the details, but generally abnormal pap means cervical dysplasia/cancer, which is usually very treatable. Often a little outpatient procedure. Not to diminish the scariness etc of it al…
- metalpeter on dragonfire1024’s “Family” Wow that sucks 22 is very young for cancer. I wish you luck in dealing with it and you sister luck as well. I know luck isn't really the right word but not sure how else to say it.

- dragonfire1024 on carolinian’s “Pan Am Expo Mapping” I have a few copies of 2 maps from the expo that I got from the historical society. I also wrote an news article on the Statler's hotel during the expo.
- dragonfire1024 on jason’s “Beautiful Day Ramblings” C-130's have been flying around Bflo a lot lately. The had a recent airshow in NF too. But I saw the trail too and I think I heard it earlier...if so the sound lasted a long time.
- dragonfire1024 on paul’s “Jimmy Macs and Panos” LoL. You went in last night when I was working...you probably saw me. Those rules are just overnight rules. Some are stupid. As for the lettuce, I will have to talk to somebody about that,.. We are very much known for our Slouvaki so I am …
- dragonfire1024 on paul’s “Bye bye Buffalo Current” word has it they were bought out by a corporation??
- dragonfire1024 on jenks’s “scattered” I have been feeling a lot of the same lately. I hope you feel better :)
- dragonfire1024 on jim’s “sudo was invented in Buffalo” I could be wrong, but I think it was used first in buffalo during the Pan Am exposition. They used a lot of that stuff on the temporary buildings that were there.
- dragonfire1024 on zobar’s “fair & balanced” It would have been nice if the artvoice did that during their cover story. The ArtVOice purposely interviewed those people in the last issue that were for the hotel. They In My Opinion (IMO) never made a single attempt to interview opposit…
- dragonfire1024 on dragonfire1024’s “I disagree” Jenks put yourself in my shoes...how would you feel? I feel lke no one is listening to me, although I think my concerns are very justified.
- dragonfire1024 on jenks’s “ok, i'll weigh in.” Well again, we would not be where we are today if Hans Mobius would have kept his peoperties to code...ok so fine build the hotel. Whil we are at it lets reward every slum lord in Buffalo.
- dragonfire1024 on enknot’s “Hookey” A photo pass...sweet! I just got my Press Pass myself. I cannot wait to go to a concert...but if I do, I will have to report on it :)
- dragonfire1024 on mrmike’s “once more” Ok...now thats funny :)
- dragonfire1024 on metalpeter’s “Grant Street” No one would stay in the hotel on grant no, but you know what, its not about the looks. I am not going to use the hotel and neither will anyone in the area. It does not benefit the neighborhood, since no one will use it personally. I will …
- dragonfire1024 on paul’s “The proposed hotel location” Those of you who read my latest article on this disaster project: The Atwater house was at sometime between 1900 and 1902-03 was a "hotel". Most likely a bed and breakfast type place by the looks of the house. The "hotel" Was called: John …
