Wikipedia does have problems. Clearly. Obviously. Everything on the Internet does. And, yes, Wikipedia should not be used as The One True Source of information. But it's not like Wikipedia prevents you from using whichever other large free information repositories you had access to previously.
Wikipedia is a good starting point for research. You see a reference to something you don't understand, and you do a quick Wikipedia search. If it's something you're paranoid about, you check for references, then maybe go look at those.
And if there's not enough information, or enough proof of the veracity of the information, then you... go research somewhere else. 30 seconds of your life is lost in checking Wikipedia first, boo-hoo.
Amen! I feel really sorry for those poor little leprechauns living in the traffic lights. Day in, day out, flipping the little switch from green to yellow to red.
I think the idea is that the school board will feel the same way about it as you, and will captiulate to the scientific community's demands lest the kidlets go entirely knowledge free. Probably won't happen, but it seems to be that that's the goal.
Record companies can't make money at a dollar a song? When the only distribution costs are the bandwidth for a 5 meg file?
And yet, they can make bajillions of dollars by selling a CD for $15 by way of the brick-and-mortar store middleman? Even after the costs of pressing, packaging, shipping, and minimum wage employees?
Yay! Does that mean we can buy music players that support vorbis, soon? Are there any portable CD-players in the US that support it? My collection of oggs is angry, being confined at home.
"If its good - then there's lots of people still playing it;)."
This does not always work. There are, for instance, still throngs of people playing Counter Strike. Ugh.
A couple of years ago, it probably would have been even less of a mark-up than that. I bet the vendors just never readjusted since the USD started tanking as severely as it is.
Google has nothing to fear. What a piece of garbage that thing is. Scrolling in and out doesn't work properly half the time, and when it does it brings my Athlon64 3000+ to its knees. Not top of the line, but I think it should be able to handle a map on the Internet.
Well, see, FOX news doesn't care about the academic world, because Academia is just a bunch of Leftist America-hating gay-loving Europe-sympathizing non-Republicans!
I think the most impressive thing there is that WinMX is somehow on top of things, considering the complete lack of news from the development team in almost a year.

C'mon, this is Microsoft. Did you miss the whole XBOX360 "Launch window" thing? It lasts for four months!

Ah, I see your sarcasm detector is turned off. You are already well on your way to managerial status!
The archaeopteryx springs immediately to mind, as a link between dinosaurs and birds.

It figures that one of the most sophisticated AIs ever developed would find its use in advertising.
A really, really ineffective suicide bomber?
(1/(1-(v/c)^2))^1/2, that is. Duh.
Suppose m0 is the rest-mass (the mass of an object not moving with respect to the reference frame), and y=gamma=(1/(1-(v/c)^2)) E=y*m0*c^2
You know what they say. A town with money is like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it.

Dude! Did you hear about that guy that hacked Paris Hilton's phone? He got caught!
Also important:
Sitting = the act of resting on one's buttocks.
Bush = Monkey
Don't forget the raging forest fires. And Hollywood.
I agree. Let's send the corporations to jail, instead. Or do we just euthanize them and tell everyone that works there to go home?

What are those funny squiggles between your quotation marks? I am confused.

You've been saving up that joke for years, haven't you?
