I like the idea of seeing the edits of each article. Maybe on each page, Wikipedia can put the number of edits that page has recieved, so we will know exactly how 'hotly contested' that page is.
Just my 5 cents.
Simply zeroing out sectors of a HDD is not a crime, nor proof of one unless you can prove what was zeroed out.
Just owning a gun is not a crime, just owning code is not a crime, just owning a computer is not a crime. Remember, in America it's supposed to be INNOCENT until proven GUILTY.
or even ore disturbing, how EXACTLY can anyone prove either way where the code came from? At this point in the game it wouldn't suprise the slightest if SCO took code that had hazy records as to when it was implemented, and just added some supposed comments, and claimed it was theirs. How is a judge (or even jury) who thinks Windows is a computer and dosen't know kernel 2.4 fro Colnel Sanders going to distinguish the two?/da5id
on a side note to this, how do they prove when the code was entered? i mean it's not an all together hard thing to do to change a date here or there. i can almost see this going to court and lawyers handing over pages of code and pointing to the dates on them.......
