War of Words Over Wikipedia Ads Continues
Willis W. writes "Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales reiterates his opposition to advertising in response to reports that Wikipedia needs a major cash infusion. Responding to Jason Calacanis' charges that he 'has a fringe, anti-corporate bent to him' that is 'holding Wikipedia back,' Wales says that running ads on Wikipedia is not his decision to make. Though he personally dislikes the idea of advertising on Wikipedia, any decision to utilize ads would have to come from the community. At the moment, he won't rule anything out. 'I can't say if I would ever support something like that,' he tells Ars, 'but I can say that I currently maintain the same position I always have: I am opposed to it.'" What do you think Wikimedia should do to shore up the financial situation of the Wikipedia?

An AC with a mouth foul enough to work for M$ claims:
You're so fucking stupid you couldn't even tell that was a joke. What a frothing prick you are.
I understand it was a joke, but it's not funny. A few media big heads have tried to make clever little jokes about vandalizing Wikipedia, but it's lame. In a few years, when more groups, like the CIA, make their own Wikis and everyone is used to them the novelty will wear off and vandalism will have all the wit, charm and taste as bathroom stall graffiti. Dumb shits will continue to do it, but they will all go to the same stupid places and make the same stupid stink. People with enough brains to do more damage will be hated like the spammers they are.
You might as well get used to the mindset now. If being called out for your bad behavior makes you angry, you will soon be angry often.
A frothy penis, by the way, can be a sign of a serious medical condition. You should have someone look at it before it rots your brain. It's not too late is it?
DMCA, Hollings, Palladium. What might have sounded like paranoia is now common sense.
