You should probably order your coffee and keyboards separate from now on. If your keyboard comes with coffee preinstalled, you're never gonna get any work done.
It appears to me that he was saying the carbon can be dated. Not that the process of "carbon dating" was used. I think he's talking about the theory that carbon isotopes that come from fossil fuel are different from those which occur naturally. I can't speak as to the validity of this theory anymore than that I've heard of it.
Read which article? The summary has 6 links. Which one is "the article"? I'm supposed to spend an hour of research before I can post? No, I didn't RTFA. But, I did re-read the fucking summary. And I see that he wants to remove porn that has little to no educational value.
Great. But, why focus on porn? Wouldn't everyone involved in contributing to wikipedia want to remove all content that is of no educational value? Whether that be excessive pictures of Doric Greek pillars or Chinese anal beads.
My point is, wikipedia admins should be removing all unnecessary content, not focusing on unnecessary "sexual" content.
Somebody wants information about human sexuality removed from an encyclopedia or he's going to walk? I say, let him and his puritanical beliefs walk.
I have been using wikipedia for since it's inception and never once do I recall being subjected to "pornography". However, if I needed to do a research paper for school on the subject, I would appreciate the maintained links that wikipedia provides. Censorship. Give me a break. Then you need a whole team of censors to debate over what is acceptable or not, which is unnecessary and ridiculous. IT'S AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. All information is acceptable. Because, it's informative.
Sux for you, every time I install Kubuntu everything works. Several different mini-itx boards, a couple laptops, and a couple desktops. Of course I'm using hardware that's a couple years old. Try installing XP on a Toshiba Satellite A205 laptop. Guess what? You can't!. XP drivers don't exist. But, Kubuntu from 8.10 on up... everything works right after install, including the webcam. Flash is a simple apt-get.
I wonder if something like CVS would satisfy the OP's requirements:
"Ideally it would support document sharing, metadata/tags, search capabilities, revision control, and the ability to share documents easily with people from outside the team without any software installation or login required."
There's cross-platform cvs clients. It supports all the listed requirements including tags. And you can put a document in a public folder and email out a URL to that file which can be accessed without login.
One nice is experience I had with xoops is that I was able to install the exact same module version (it hasn't been updated) I used back in 2005 on the latest release of Xoops. It still worked fine, many revisions later.
That won't work in joomla, trying to upgrade your site from 1.0 to 1.5. I bought a car rental app for joomla for $75. It came encrypted! I had no way to add a different make of car.. they didn't have Chevy, because the developer was French. After all the hassle, explaining to the customer, "no you can't do that" I would have been better off just writing it from scratch.
Other things I like about xoops is its "block" concept. Where you can create a new html block and specify what pages it appears on. For example, a disclaimer at the bottom of the site for a lawyer. But, say you need a different footer on the "pay your bill" page. Just create a new block.
It's not perfect. I would love to see a little more fine grained access restrictions such as a system of "locks and keys". I'm also a little bothered that they chose to take a joomla-esq approach of separating admin tasks. It used to be that you clicked on a module in admin, and you could edit all the functions related to that module. Now, in the admin screen there's a menu for modules and a menu for preferences. So, you edit everything for the module by clicking the modules menu, except the "preferences".
However, the cool thing is that because of the abstracted object-oriented design of xoops, the same module that worked on the old system still works on the new version of xoops. "Preferences" are just in a different place now.
Usually when we make a site, it's about $1200 and includes 1 free module. Reservation system for your B&B? Advertise cars for your small dealership? iCal based schedule for your seminars. A lot of times people just want a brochure, so it's cheaper.
FTA: "The first part of the operation involves getting a target's cell phone number from a public database that links names to numbers for caller ID purposes"
Public database of CallerID info? A link to that would be great! I've never found anything like that. Thanks.
Joomla has a horribly confusing interface. There's extensions, mods, addons, bots... What's the difference? Who knows. The admin interface is way too complicated. There's different ways to get to the same admin section. It's super unintuitive. Blech... Joomla is based around the concept of publishing "articles". But how many of your website customers need that feature at all? Like 5%. Joomla is more of a blog than a CMS for building websites.
If you'd like to check out a much simpler, easier to understand, CMS that will enable you to quickly build the kind of sites your clients need (and simple enough for them to administer themselves) then check out Xoops.

I guess you never saw your directory list slowly scroll by on a 386SX 16mhz with 2MB of RAM.
blowing my mind, man!

It's coming right for us!

Heh, my friend and I were laughing last week when her textbook cited wikipedia...

Thank you. First person to post an .exe. I know what to do with those! .mtx files.... not so much.
Every single list of instructions lists a crucial unintelligible step: "Now launch MTX". What the fuck does that mean?
Scuse me, but, "MTX" is not a standard part of Windows. There is obviously a precursor step you/we are missing.
Oh, it's a .NET app? Maybe I have to install .NET first....
I unzipped as you said on XP, and got an error: "The procedure * could not be located in the DLL mtshellmq.dll"
Also, could not figure out how to install the patches as there's no executable and just a bunch of files named 1, 2, 3, 4.. etc...
Will have to try the MTX client thing, I suppose.
does it run on Linux?

Is that Arma 2?
no one mentioned Ben Franklin.
Ever try Thunderbyte av?
I hope you reported this to the joomla team.
