I used to have a huge crush on OS X, but that's before I went fully Linux on my laptop at home. Now, I'm just spoilt stupid by keyboard shortcuts, barely ever having to touch my mouse, and having my software mysteriously gain new functionality every time I 'apt-get upgrade'.
Seriously, I *might* eventualy be taken in my the prettiness of the laptops, but I *know* I'm dual-booting Debian on it. Although I hear you can run OS X inside X-windows on Linux on Macs...
I just tried this. I had to click "Change preferences", and then I have a "Without an animated screen character" option, and then the dogs walks right the f/ off!
True, and they have had their core material ripped out. The thing is, if Mr. Wales had wanted to keep something out of Wikipedia, it can just be put back in now. The content can still be salvaged by people with Admin access (like wikitruth are doing), and I definitely *don't* want to see wikimedia have to face legal issues over wikipedia, so it's a win-win-win situation. What's the problem again?
One is essentially a full article, one a stub, and (as mentioned) Brian Peppers is WP:OFFICEd. If Wikipedia is "censoring" stuff, they're not doing a very good job, apparently?
"looks suspiciously like something quickly hacked together."
Really? Check out their MSFT page - it really is a lot better organised than Yahoo's. Once they support Singaporean stocks (they already have lots of information), I'm gonna be all over these guys.

What happened to John the Baptist? He got killed for fairly random reasons, then was immortalised, and then him and the guy he announced (a certain Mr. Christ) went on to change the world.
That's all Stallman wants, too, and all I've got to say is, more power to him. I would much rather live in a world without DRM than one with.

You mean he doesn't know that The World is not Flat?! Despite somebody publishing a hit book proving just that? That level of ignorance is impressive!

Both the MediaWiki software as well as the database itself are freely available.
Horror stories like this one, or this one, both written by Richard Preston.
