Actually Wikipedia implements a new feature to identify which articles are on many watch lists. Admins will test it and perhaps it will be available for every user. You can find a German description here.
I wish they would switch the email feature on, so that Wikipedians are informed of changes who do not log in every day.
Is Wikipedia a project to crate an encyclopedia or is it an encyclopedia itself?
Wikipedia says 'Wikipedia (pronounced as [wikipidi.] or [wki-], also [-]) is a multi-lingual Web-based free-content encyclopedia.'. This is the wrong claim. The Wikipedians have great a heck of a job (scnr), there are many articles that put other encyclopedias to shame, but Wikipedia is not yet an encyclopedia.
The wiki principles made it possible to write millions of articles in 100 languages or so. But this is only one step. You have to take another step. For example: A German publisher sells a book series based on wikipedia contents called 'WikiPress'. They could do this,, but the contents had to be editored first. (Not by a community or 'wikipediators' but by professional editors.) This has to be done with the whole wikipedia.
The time of collecting information is nearly done. Now it is the time of validating information. This can be done by paid professionals or by a community of professionals. But it can't be done in the wikipedia yet. Too many vandalism destroys the work flow, too less sources are actually given, too much unwritten rules and misunderstandings seem to be more important than the facts.
It has little RAM. In fact I wanted to know, how the performance is. I'm looking for some time for a low power solution, but I think it is not exactly this one.
The Germany magazine c't has published in the recent issue an howto on running the Mac mini as an media server. The only problem is that the mac mini does only have one Ethernet-Port, so it can't be used as an router.
I have a media server and p2p machine on an old Compaq Prolinea Desktop with an 133 Mhz Pentium and 96 MB RAM which runs Debian Sarge. The I/O-Performance is not very good but I can run mldonkey 24/7 without much noise.
Could this ARM device compete with this? And what is the use of 16000 Debian packages when I can only run very few of them in 32 MB RAM?
I have found an interesting offer: pay 50 bucks and you are removed immediately from the spam list. Have a look here.
Interesting: The company won't say who they are. They say this was approved by local authorities, but this is bullshit. Local authorities can not brake federal law in Germany.

In Germany you can buy Zeta for several years in homeshopping channels as "alternative for windows". They sold even the Betas without mentioning the beta status. The price: 100 Euro.

My ISP Netcologne disconnects PCs that are infected with trojans and try to infect others. The connection is interrupted and when the costumer tries to connect again he can only access one page, that shows an information. He can download Antivir there, too.
There are two restrictions: Netcologne certainly does not monitor all traffic - they react on abuse-messages. And this "service" is not available to business costumers.
When you look at an online forum of an hospital in Thailand, you see more adverts for other sites and forums than real help. There are some sick people who want to get as many victims as possible on their sites and pretend that they want to help. Actually they are not ashamed to flame each other.
Wikipedia is under Free documentation license. If somebody wants to do a fork, he is allowed to do. When he succeeds, Wikipedia can get the information back.
Just imagine: 50 historians take the articles about their special topic in their own project, where only scientists can contribute. One or two years later they have 1000 excellent articles. This articles can come back to Wikipedia.
Something is missing in the report: the business of pirate copies. Sure - it mentiones people who buy camcorders and computers. But how can you pay the traffic? Who pays your lawyer? Will he get a 10000$ camcorder?
There are people out there who sell the copies - and they are part of the network.

Your description lacks on one fact: How did you find out you got infected through a mozilla vulnarability?
Does Symantec know customers who did?

No, 50 bucks is the fee for an IP, not for an ISP.

Look for details here.
You are right. I don't know how many admins use UCEprotect, but local authorities as the municipality of Munich seem to use this list.

Heise reports a funny detail:
"In the past SCO complained they could not read the data IBM sent. The data was tar.gz-files."
Does anybody know what happened to Miranda? Will she and AJ ever come together?

I followed the link "20000 leagues" in the article. I found this this. There is no full text.
...about the Roman Empire in the time of Julius Caesar. But it took several hundert years until it collapsed.
I heard it other way round: the swedish government did not release the missing lists in first place to prevent those incidents.

Especially when you read about the working conditions at EA.
Free software can succeed, if the developers do not the same mistakes like the Closed source developers.
But sometimes they do: Have a look at this article
Kast year was AmigaOS 4 vapourware number 9. This year there is still no release of the new OS for Amiga, but it is not on the list anymore.
When Amiga can not even produce vapourware, the legend is gone.
