One thing you've missed to mention are the WikiReaders. Those are collections of wikipedia articles on a specific topic, specially revised and put into a PDF.
One of the target of the WikiReaders is to print them, two were already and can be bought in the Wikimedia shop
It started in the German Wikipedia, so most of the current Readers are in German, but there are already some peolpe working on other languages.

In the text there's clearly said that it will finally end 2001.
Nostalgiker finden danach nur noch über eine Sondernummer und zu gepfefferten Preisen bis Ende 2001 einen Zugang, ehe T-Online seine BTX-Zugangsknoten endgültig ausknipst.
I'm sure one can paint the cars that way that they are nearly invisible, some flat LCD which changes it color from blue to white (or grey if you live in a unhealty environment).
But some weeks later the first fleet of cars will write the newest Duff Beer slogan into the sky...
Here a mail I got from the great esr (I can't remeber why or how I get them), quite a zynical view on micro$oft but don't we love that;-)
From esr@snark.thyrsus.com Fri Nov 09 22:46:19 2001
From: "Eric S. Raymond"
Subject: Thank you, Microsoft, but no thanks!
In remarks at a Microsoft stockholders' meeting, Bill Gates recently
claimed that Microsoft was responsible for the success of open source.
"Really," he said "the reason you see open source there at all is
because we came in and said there should be a platform that's
identical with millions and millions of machines."
As an exercise in retroactive imperialism, this is little short of
breathtaking. It ignores the fact that though the open-source culture
wouldn't get public visibility until after 1993, or a name for itself
until 1998, it already existed well before the foundation of Microsoft
in 1975. Many of today's most active hackers can readily remember a
time when the typical response to the word "Microsoft" was "Who are
they?" -- and some of our most important work (such as the Berkeley
TCP/IP stack that Microsoft itself copied and used) was written years
before the computing landscape flattened into PCs as far as the eye
can see.
But there is one smidgen of truth in this; yes, Mr. Gates, recently you have
helped open source succeed -- in much the same way Osama bin Laden has
helped beef up airport security lately.
Microsoft's monopolistic, price-gouging, bullying behavior is making
open source more attractive every day. We'd thank you, except that
you're only accelerating a process that would have happened anyway.
You're a serviceable villain, but not a necessary one; the dedication
to excellence and the sense of worldwide community that are behind the
open-source movement were here long before Microsoft, and will still be here
long after Microsoft is gone.

I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the
Constitution which grant[s] a right to Congress of expending, on
objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.

If you can't find a "free" version of a song, try misspelling it, there's also a cool tool to be found at fm to get a whole album by tying artist and album name on your console:-)
I'm having a TI-30 it must be some 25 years old now but it still works (must have been allready slow when it was brand-new). Oh and it's LEDs will blink in a funny way if you don't type for some time:-)

German WP will hit 50.000 soon. And it's allready the second biggest wiki in the world, right before susning.nu

until the first major bug is found and 2.4.17 is out
I guess flamebait, anyways dot-us aren't open for Afghans (or any other non-US citizen) otherway I'd like to order you.shall.not.mess.with.us
That's why I played it only once (that and the bad graphics), I prefer to play with my Railroad (Tycoon) or TEG (Risc clone)

indeed there's bashdot.org
but I think dashdot.org is more likely what you prefer
it's sad that all the gnome, gtk and gimp people run their network. but xchat works fine with two and more server connections :-)
WinAMP? /. and you should be a *nix-User!
never heard of, hell that's
I doubt that Golden State is cdopy-protected, why should I allready found it in the net?
I love Audiogalaxy!

because they used some NASA program to calculate the size and mixed miles with kilometers....
the hole is everywhere
Static pages are normally hard to keep updated, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. Software like WML make webmaster's life easy :-)

believe me!
no, 10.10.10100 would have been much cooler ;-)
bits will never die!
I think growing population is always a kind of over-population, we're building taller buildings and houses on (geographically) extreme sites.
The idustrial revolution didn't lead directly to the rise of the third sector.
disadvantages of the industrial revolution:
and now tell me that revolutions are still good. (even the French wasn't that good)
I thought base 2 arithmetic would be enough...
1011001000100111010101100100111
additionally revolutions are seldom progress. They often mean a throw-back for all kinds of science.
