Circular referencing of this sort happens unfortunately often on Wikipedia - because journalists use Wikipedia as the universal backgrounder, then of course it gets used as a reference. Then someone works it out, the journalist is somewhat embarrassed and a note goes on the talk page. It's the joy of Wikipedia being an eternal work-in-progress live draft - like running CVS HEAD for everything. The FlaggedRevisions extension should be going live on German Wikipedia soonish, though, and hopefully on other Wikipedias (including English) not too long after.
All these new materials are ridiculously brittle and difficult to form ceramics, so making coils and so forth is a major PITA and helium actually works out cheaper in practice.
"Maybe Wine will be able to run it in the future, I don't know."
Probably, actually. Try it, report bugs, ask about it on the user forum/list.
Wine works surprisingly well these days - we use it at work for a piece of crapware from a dead company. Otherwise we'd need another server and a Windows licence just for this one function, instead of having it run safely and reliably on a Linux box with a ton of other stuff.
I think it's currently designed to blow in the wind in a decorative manner. (They wanted to be able to make Tomcat reload all applications by touching a file. There's a URL you can call to reload any app any time you like, but they wanted a script. NOW, mummy!) Tomorrow I fully expect to see a request for the blades of the propeller to be make of red, yellow and blue sparkly stuff.
I'm thinking of an apparently straightforward Apache server setup I'm doing at work. I characterised their initial request as "and a pony." Further "clarifications" so far have included a long neck, humps and stripes and this morning I installed the propeller. A pony designed by four year olds on Red Dye No. 1.
I promise nothing;-) But at least you'll be able to get reportable bug reports out of it! The pace of development really has been surprising... around 0.9.10 was when it hit critical mass, the way Mozilla was suddenly stable enough for proper testing around 0.9.0.
We use it in actual business production machinery at work. (A compiler for satellite television interactive applications that runs on Windows and was written by a company that's since died; we run it on Wine on RHEL 4 to avoid having another Windows box.) These days I'm more surprised when old apps don't work in Wine than when they do. It's surprisingly good, considering the benighted task they're attempting. Somewhere around 0.9.10 it tipped over from "interesting alpha" to "robust enough to call beta."
White LEDs aren't bad at all for plant growing, actually. Paul Riddell from the Texas Triffid Ranch (a most highly recommended blog) built an iMac-shell terrarium using a full-spectrum compact fluorescent, and only didn't opt for white LEDs because of price. He considered halogens, but they run way too hot. (Despite the light being excellent for carnivorous plants - we revived some abandoned Venus Fly Traps with 12 hours/day of a single halogen.)

The general disclaimer is linked on every single page on the wiki. You could change your CSS so that it's in 48pt blinking red, I suppose.
Unfortunately, we have yet to perfect the wiki-based encyclopedia that the reader can use while not bringing their brain to the party.
Wikipedia is an eternal work in progress. Your complaint is like complaining that you're running software straight from CVS HEAD and there are bugs.

That'll be the LCD backlight. Warranty call. Pretty straightforward one though.
DebTorrent is at work on precisely this.

You appear to be under the mistaken impression that record companies ever, ever pay royalties.
Works like a charm in dosbox too!
Thank you, sir!
If you can email me a copy (dgerard@gmail.com) it would be most appreciated!
It'll run the next Ubuntu ... Hairy Hadron.
Where did you actually find a copy?

Not to mention the French still being pissed off at the name of Waterloo Station.
No, no. These are developers. I told you: a committee of four-year-olds on red dye no.1.

A pony! With a long neck! And stripes! And a hump! And probably a propeller!

Actually, it doesn't quite yet ;-) http://wiki.winehq.org/CygwinSupport - it's actually one of the hard problems.
It runs Ubuntu 8.04.
