  1. Lies on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Bullshit on the audio front. Vista had no stereo mix as an output device until proper audio drivers were installed - which initially they weren't because there were not many available that were properly supported. Install proper drivers for 7 from Realtek and you get Stereo Mix as an input device. Failing that - just get Virtual Audio Cable and make some virtual sound streams to rip protected audio.

  2. Re:And? on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 1

    And yet, Veropedia will still be running ads, and therefore, will be beholden to their advertisers. Good luck, but until you have a subscription based service where you are beholden to your users instead of your advertisers, everything, but everything on Veropedia will need to be taken with a grain of salt. This happens to defeat the aim of Free Knowledge - something that is at the core of Wikipedia, and Veropedia too.

    That works via a SELECT query? Srsly?

  4. Re:[citation needed] vandalism, here we come ;) on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 1

    Most articles that are uploaded have cleanup tags of some sort when we first come across them - half the point of Veropedia is to help improve Wikipedia as articles get added to Vero. Finding an article which would be suitable for upload to Veropedia right off the bat is very rare, even if there are no cleanup tags etc. A lot of articles could do with more or better references, improved content layout/organisation, free images and the usual copyedit stuff.
