Actually, that's been 'fixed' just recently (by checking if the latest editor to a page was the by the bot that imported the census information in the first place).
... after all the comments (including "Schtop! Driv3r is not ready yet!", which I imagine non-UK readers might not get), they give it a 3/10 - what on Earth would you have to do to get a 2 or a 1?
At first, zh was blocked in and around Berlin a couple of days before the anniversary; this block has since expanded to cover most of our IPs, and our whole set of DNS domains, and being blocked throughout China, from what word we have had passed on.
All Wikimedia servers are hosted in Florida, so life is unaffected for the rest of the world. Sadly, this is not the case for our Chinese brethren.

From the radio programme covering the story (it was part of the Leading Edge broadcast on Radio 4 thie evening), 10 billion (10^9) light years (and hence, obviously, 10 billion years).
Well, actually, the original text was a copyright violation too - it's the King James authorised version, which is still under perpetual UK Crown Copyright (it never expires) - it's the intellectual property of Her Majesty's Government (and, under the Berne Convention, thus also copyrighted in the US). They don't go chasing people though, because there's no real reason to.
One of the worst things is that, when presenting his proposals to the House, he said (something along the lines of):
No-one has anything to fear from being correctly identified.
... which has been shown to be wrong - a glaringly obvious example is the automated identification of people in Belgium in the '30s, including their race, which was oh-so-useful to the invading Nazis when they wanted to liquidise the Jewish population.
Technically, I suppose, that would be misleading the House. It's still, just about, a rather serious matter...
That might be his problem, actually - I'm running on a dual-processor box, and switching off audio doesn't seem to have a significant effect on framerates...
No, they do have a point - the clueless push them, and those of us who have worked this out can share a knowing smirk. Highlights the day's commute, for me...;-)
That's related to bugs with browsers (they don't upload more than the first 28 KiB of a text box); most browsers work now, but sadly some do not. However, section editing allows much larger documents to be created even with these defective clients.
Hope you come back and help out!:-)
Yeah, we try to keep an eye on what changes are made; of course, there are several thousand edits a day (and getting slashdotted doesn't help;-)), so we don't catch/every/ one immediately, but it's rare to find an uncaught troll posting.
You sure that the CL6000 doesn't have an RNG, but the CL10000 does? 'Cos the 6000 is fanless, after all - it would only cost a dozen or so dollars less, but...
The Wikipedia pages on my favorite topics are horrible. I've hesitated to rewrite them because I suspect the complete replacement of the pages would not be welcome.
Well, I can assure you that that's not true; fresh blood is the best way of improving pages that are somewhat poorly written. We very strongly welcome new contributers.
Equally, having them subject to popular vote means they are likely to be re-edited to return to copies of the simpistic rehashing of the simplistic information already on the web.
Ah, the classic can-lots-of-people-come-to-a-sensible-compromise question. In short, you're not the first person to make this suggestion, but we feel that by adhereing to NPOV (Neutral Point Of View, where different sides of arguments are presented without favouritism or emotive language), we have succeeded and will continue to succeed in creating in-depth, balanced articles on, well, everything under the Sun (and elsewhere, too).
Sorry, that was meant to be this URL. The sphere project was a project to, well, change the shape of a Tokamak's torus so that the eccentricity approached 1 (i.e., a sphere).
This is not a 'claim'; several Tokamaks have acheived 'break-even' on energy-in vs. enevergy-extracted, notably the SPHERE project from Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, IIRC.

Umm. Yes. Don't mind me. Was thinking about the Berlin Wikimeet at the time :-).

Given that it's a repackaged OD2 service, WMA.

Just to be difficult...

Yeah, well, it was a trusting time, and the only files you could lose were work (OS on ROM) - and you've backed up, haven't you?

Oh, and as I forgot to say (oops ;-)), it's more of a guideline than a 'rule'.
...
Bah, 2 minute rule.
HTH.

Err... Phase III of MediaWiki uses databases (though files for media files, such a pictures, sounds, &c.). Which Wiki software are you referring to?

Viscount if he has a viscountcy, as it outranks (obviously); I merely didn't known which he had...
If he was a Lord, his name would be Lord Bacon; the knighthood is dropped.

Err... (at least) one of the Big Dig tunnels goes underwater, IIRC.

Yes, but no-one ever suggested building the tokamak in Northern Ireland.
