Perhaps you "keep reading about these claims" because a significant number of people who have tried to contribute to Wiki and given up?
I'm not getting into a pissing contest with an Anonymous Coward. Perhaps *YOU* are part of the problem? After all, it's not surprising that the source of the problem does not understand the issue.
Their lack of coherent coding and / or a WYSIWYG editor is the LEAST of WikiMedia / WikiPedia's issues.
Number one issue keeping new blood away: Asshat editors-for-life with "ownership" issues, who park their fat asses on various pages / subjects / media classes, and shit diarrhea on any "newbe" who dares add / change / question so much as punctuation...
Since I can't think of anything worthwhile to say on this subject other than "yeah, whatever" since it's some cheap dorky product being abused by vapid boring yuppies... I thought instead I would offer up this filthy sea shanty, which is MUCH more amusing:

The captain of this lugger, He was a dirty bugger, He wasnâ(TM)t fit to shovel shit From one ship to another.
The captainâ(TM)s wife was Mabel. Whenever she was able, Sheâ(TM)d fornicate with the second mate Upon the galley table.
The cabin boy was Kipper, A dirty little nipper, We stuffed his arse with broken glass To circumcise the skipper.
The captain had a daughter, Who fell into the water, We heard her squeal and knew an eel Had found her sexual quarter.
The second mateâ(TM)s name was Andy, His balls were long and bandy, We filled his arse with molten brass For wanking in the brandy.
The captainâ(TM)s name was Morgan, By Christ he was a gorgon! Ten times a day sweet tunes heâ(TM)s play. On his productive organ.
The captainâ(TM)s daughter Mable, They laid her on a table! And all the crew would come and screw As oft as they were able.
âoeTwas on a Chinese station, We caused a great sensation. We sunk a junk in a sea of spunk By mutual masturbation.
Another cook was Oâ(TM)Malley, He didnâ(TM)t dilly dally. He shot his bolt with such a jolt He whitewashed half the galley.
Where I work, p-2-p is blocked, and are most streaming / download services. As well, plugging a thumb drive into your desk-top logs you out and blocks your account - which is kind of stupid since portable hard drives work fine - but only if the guid for the device is registered on the network (but of course that could be spoofed).
The REAL deterrent is that if they catch you using unauthorized hardware / software, you get escorted out permanently.
Unless Chevron is running centrifuges in Iran, Stuxnet probably wouldnâ(TM)t have been much of an issue as the Stuxnet code was pretty specific. But of course the real issue for Chevron it *how* they allowed Stuxnet to infect at all? What was the vector, and why was it either Interwebs connected or techs were using infected thumb drives?
Would it have killed The Telegraph, Hugh Pickens, or Timothy to do us this small courtesy?
Hugh Pickens is the reincarnated Roland Piquepaille, and as "old-timers" know, Roland was primarily interested in pimping his blog, as is Hugh. A linky to the actual paper would drop that click-through, and thus blog popularity and profit.

one could use a barcode-reading Web site (like this one, perhaps) to translate a barcode into text to determine your screening level before a flight. One might even be able to modify the boarding pass using PhotoShop or the GIMP to, for example, get the screening level of your choice.
Yes, I'd like to board an airline flight with a forged boarding pass , and all the privileges that come with it!
The benefits of the of the Space Station are not only research into the things we might need to know for human space travel.
Much more valuable in the short term are advances in material sciences in zero and near zero gravity.
Also, although there would be some "ethical" issues, we need to understand the possibilities of human reproduction in space - it's going to happen, especially if they do something stupid like a multi-year mission to Mars, there will be sex.

So, your EGO is so huge that because you and another dude submitted essentially the same CUT AND PASTE, and he got picked over you?
Oh, how your egg shell must be thin...
Yes, well, obviously he was trying to make some sort of statement of some kind, maybe having to do with "art", and maybe not.
But seriously, I think he planned this for exactly what happened.
Moron.

Local stores are rarely price competitive...
Amazon, Wal-Mart, and folks like them are only "competitive" because they eat babies and rape third-world teenaged mothers.
Seriously, dude: Whooooooooosh!
Blaw, blaw, blaw.. freetard...
Not typical Microsoft Fanboi talk, so I'm guessing you're an Apple Whore?
I want a movie about Henry Nicholas of Broadcom.
I'm sorry, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Nicholas does not confirm any of that, and therefore I can only conclude that your a a troll or a rube.

Posting this the day after the head of the CIA is forced to resign. Priceless
Which has exactly ZERO to do with keeping or not keeping secrets.
In other words, so what?
See Pakistan.
Of course Pakistan is a HUGE concern. But that doesn't mean we should ignore Iran.
I think the downside of what they did is going to be far worse than what they actually accomplished.
So you think nuclear proliferation is acceptable and that Iran will manage being a Nuke Bomb owner in a sensible way? Really?
A "bomb" in the hands or the Iranians is truly a terrifying thing.

It's OK that you have an irrational hate of Steve Jobs, yes he stole your girl in Jr. High, but maybe it's time to get over it?
Or as most people call them, bugs.
A âoefeatureâ that is not really a feature turns out to be âoebuggyâ! WOW!

The S+P is flat today...
I tend to agree with you.
It in fact has graceful and classic lines reminiscent of the Art Deco movement of the 1920's.
But seriously, did you expect anything else but childish nonsense on Slashdot about Apple?
Maybe they end up looking like these guys:

How old are you? 15?
This "Windoze" phone, is it from "Micro$loth"?
