ATHF is definately a geek type show and most of us between 16-24 have watched the show. This article just shows there exists somewhat of an age gap between nerd generations. The older nerds prolly dont stay up late enough to watch Adult Swim. However I'm sure if this was some article about Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica or Doctor Who or whatever the older nerds would be pissing their pants while the younger generation cries "Who gives a shit?"
That's true, but there is no reasonable argument that people that have spent years, decades even, getting to the level where they understand a deeply complex topic so well that they can explain it to those outside the field are "lazy" if they don't then share it all with the rest of the world for free.
Well apparently you have never spent a great deal of time trying to master a complex subject. Or do it in a manner so that your knowledge makes you better than someone else. Many great teachers and thinkers actually look for people to talk to about their subject. They love sharing their knowledge and perhaps they are too busy. I do not attack these people. I attack those who do have free time but would rather hide their expertise away in a feat of selfishness and haughtiness.
This is also true, but calling someone a fucking moron for saying something fucking moronic like "the professionals who discredit Wikipedia are lazy because they themselves have the time and resources to donate a professional article to the public" is perfectly grown-up. If you want to be treated like an intelligent person then you need to try acting like one.
You sir show no ability to one analyze another person's thoughts and two create his own. If you were my student I would ask you to leave my class.
I don't see what you mean. Why are they not there? Why do you think they are helping with Wikipedia?
As I suggested before the professionals who discredit Wikipedia are lazy because they themselves have the time and resources to donate a professional article to the public. If they only wish to distribute their knowledge for money then they are nothing but sophists.
1. The first dictionary writers were mostly hobbyists and received very little compensation for their work.
2. Sure you probably need a Phd to write an article on magnetism but that doesn't mean you couldn't write one during your free time. I never suggested a pure amateur could produce good work. However people with experience can donate some free time to a good cause. It can be done. Einstein while working in a patent office finished his PhD thesis and wrote 3 influential papers.
3. Calling someone a fucking moron because you felt threatened is not grown-up.
Or maybe they're not all living at home/university with buckets of free time that they don't need paid for.
Wikipedia is good, but if you want consistantly high quality you need to give people compensation for the amount of time they would need to spend to do a good job. Unless you're indepedantly weathy this is a real issue: people have to eat.
Everyone has hobbies and free time. Unless you make footballs in Indonesia you prolly have 1/3 of your life to dedicate to something. This compares to the 1/3 of your life you spend working for money. Also students and wealthy shut-ins can write articles as good as anyone else can. Your argument is basically, 'i can be lazy and ignorant because I not getting paid'. Which is true please be so on your own time.
I doubt you will find anything written on politics or history that is not slanted. Even from paper based sources. Anyone who reads history and is involved with politics will know this since their own bias is needed to find other people's biases. Like yours and genocide with the Soviet Union and China. I'm sure Mao and Stalin have different thoughts.
If you find an error in an article you can fix it. If an article is not good enough you can write a new one. The only reason Wikipedia can fail is laziness. The so-called professionals and academics who frown on Wikipedia are ignorant and lazy.

that he's gay.... his love of his life Neil. I have nothing against gays i just find it interesting. Do think he counts the number of times his lover plows him in the butt?
If I was smart and I had some money I'd open a torrent site in one of these countries. Then again the MPAA might send their thugs to destroy my server.
I think its a great idea. Its great for the center city types who trade stocks in Love park. Or the north city types who are poor and want to look up lines on wagerline.com. great for everyone.
the difference between stealing and copyright...

stealing is when some jerk steals one of your Xbox games.
copyright infringement is when you download that same game, burn it and play it on your modded Xbox.
oh btw those who are whining about the "poor artists"... poor artists are skinny white punk girls who go to art school and draw cats for a living. i'm sure ripping Ashlee Simpsons cd doesn't prevent her from buying whatever she wants.

...if an expert is someone who is outstanding in their field.

Well I could barely stand the first 5 minutes, you won't catch me watching this piece of crap unless Tricia Helfer gets naked... now thats marketing!
damn i wish i had mod points.. +1 ATHF reference
....eh shoulda used 16 mm film. But hey who cares if it looks like crap?
A really good sci-fi movie shot for a very low budget ($7000) I recommend is Primer.

It got an 80% with IGN giving it a 8.4. The graphics look pretty realistic check the screenshot here.
