If you're a registered user, you will see unconfirmed edits by default. Someone could (and most likely will) set up a mirror/proxy/script/whatever that displays the unfiltered Wikipedia for those who don't wish to register.
There are two efforts going on right now to address those two problems: the Welcoming committee and the Article Rescue Squadron. I'm only one man, though - if you'd be willing to give the nice guys a hand, it would be greatly appreciated. Next time you need help with something on Wikipedia, leave me a message - I do really care.
In the same way, one could say that Wikipedia is where an anonymous blog posting (which can be linked to) is the more trustworthy authority on spacetime than a direct edit by Stephen Hawking himself.
External links to Hulu are discouraged because they are only accessible within the United States of America. (WP:ELNO #7) They should have cited this rule in the edit summary, though... non-admins aren't expected to know all these guidelines.
Monogamy is implied. Otherwise your significant other may find another significant other who is HIV-positive and pass the disease on to you, and the suggestion is meaningless.
The barack obama solution to lowering costs is to... increase the enrollment by giving uninsured (mostly illegal immigrants) "free" healthcare. WTF?
Those uninsured already get "free" healthcare at the emergency room. Turning someone away until a problem becomes an emergency is more expensive than providing preventative care.
The suits of armor you see in the museum are the result of systematic malnutrition, even among the nobility who got to wear that stuff. Our caveman ancestors were actually just about as tall as modern-day atheletes and soldiers.
If the customer buys the $1 widget directly spends the savings on shoes, then the middleman won't have any money to spend on shoes for himself. The shoe salesman still has one less sale, and the customer is denied a widget procurement service that he would have preferred over shoes.
This activity does not generate wealth. It doesn't create something from nothing. And it doesn't add value to society. If they generated 21 billion, then 21 billion was necessarily lost by others.
This is a common misconception about the stock market in general. Although they don't generate wealth directly, investors (or the computers they maintain) determine which businesses are most likely to generate wealth and allocate investment capital accordingly. Their services make the economy more efficient.
Imagine your grandmother sued the local supermarket and won. Now the supermarket is trying to sell itself and figure out a way to not pay your grandmother. Why would you object to your mother trying to claim the money she won?
Because my mother didn't win anything. My grandmother won the lawsuit.
I think a better solution would be to act a little smarter about where we build our population centers, and do not offer insurance to people who choose to build in a location where hurricanes are known to strike on a somewhat regular basis.
In any locale there is SOME sort of environmental risk, be it hurricane, earthquake, tornado, godzilla, etc. If people continue to purchase insurance and live in these places, then they have decided that the benefits are worth the risk and expense. Who the hell do you think you are to dictate who can buy and sell insurance? And before anyone even THINKS of replying "well the government subsidizes these insurance plans/customers/companies/whatever", consider that the problem may be your government, not people whose home happens to be somewhere more dangerous than your own. These folks are better off with the storms than with wannabe-dictators like yourself.
Greenpeace opposes this bill because it "sets emission reduction targets far lower than science demands, then undermines even those targets with massive offsets" - they think it is too soft. That's actually what I think is good about the bill - it starts out easy to minimize the shock to the economy, but prepares the country for tougher requirements later on. If we did instantly cap emissions to environmentally tolerable levels like Greenpeace suggests, the economic doomsday that Slashdot conservatives fear might actually come true. Greenpeace isn't quite so concerned about damage to the economy.

And poor, too! Imagine how cramped it must be, confined to a wheelchair with two other people.

Next time you run into a problem send me a message and I'll give you a hand. A lot of the time people will misinterpret the policies/guidelines.

Bullshit.

If you run into problems like this again, leave me a message and I'll help you out. It's against the rules to be mean to newcomers.
Here's how.
Monogamy is implied. Otherwise your significant other may find another significant other who is HIV-positive and pass the disease on to you, and the suggestion is meaningless.
Just yours.

Manned exploration is pointless because man will not live to explore the stars. The children of man will.

Here's an executive summary of the bill, it should allow you to spend your time more effectively.
