Re:System Requirements on Doom 3 Web Site Now Operational · 2004-07-18 03:02 · Score: 2, Funny

Those minimum specs are wrong.
In facts, they are:
CPU 8086/4.77MHz 512KB RAM 1 FDD 5"1/4 DOS 3.11
And here's a screenshot on a system like that:

Finally, maybe we have some sort of competition for ATI & nVidia?
Not a top score, but an alternative more credible than XGI, IMHO.

Re:Funding - situation, what we spent the money on on Wikipedia Hits 300,000 Articles · 2004-07-06 23:37 · Score: 1, Interesting

Quoting: The funding isn't resolved
What about placing GoogleAds in every page?
The small little boxes of text ads could endup being also informative, and add contents instead of subtracting space to it; and they have minimal bandwidth hit.
With 300.000 pages of definitions, and many many visitors every day, I think this could generate quite a lot of free $.
N.B. Note that I don't know the inner workings of the Wikipedia projects very well, so maybe there are some idelogical rules that deny this possibility. Sorry in advance for that, if that's the case.
