Wikileaks Needs Help, and Not Just Money

st1d writes to tell us that Wikileaks has put out a call for help. However, instead of just asking for money, they have also suggested technical and legal avenues for support. In the site's short life, Wikileaks has been at the center of many breaking scandals and investigations. "Wikileaks is currently overloaded by readers. This is a regular difficulty that can only be resolved by deploying additional resources. If you support our mission, you can help us by integrating new hardware into our project infrastructure or developing software for the project. Become patron of a WikiLeaks server or other parts of our technology, adding more pillars to the stability and balance of the WikiLeaks platform. Servers come trouble-free and legally fortified, software is uniquely challenging. If you can provide rackspace, power and an uplink, or a dedicated server or storage space, for at least 12 months, or software development work for WikiLeaks, please write to wl-supporters@sunshinepress.org."

Re:I donated money

So IQ is measured by the number of obscure insults you know?

To most people in my country (you know, where we have Native Americans, who at one point were known as "Indians") the term "Indian Giver" is not remotely obscure. And yes, it is a minor insult but one which was perfectly in line with the original poster's remark (he gave in good faith and then took the gift back.) Nor do I feel the need to concern myself as to whether those who are not familiar with colloquialisms common to American English understand those references. Besides, I'd have been happy to explain it to you if you'd bothered to ask. Instead, you chose to be an ass.

Fortunately most Slashdotters have more understanding of basic etiquette or this place would be intolerable.
