Wiki
I've had Firefox sitting around for about a month but have only just started using it. But I'm liking it a lot. The fact I've got some gremlin in the system that's screwing with Safari, certainly influences the matter. Anyway, that's bye-the-bye and something to be dealt with in the fullness of time.
To the matter at hand.
Anybody a wiki contributor? Preferably Wikinews but Wikipedia would do. I'm doing an assignment for Big People's School. Here's the drill:
What a pile of crap I thought. So I thought Wikinews would be an interesting perspective.
So anybody got any comments? You won't be identified (by username or otherwise). If you want me to be delicate about airing any of Wikimedia's dirty laundry say so and, in the words of Jean-Luc Pickard (sp?), I'll make it so. If you don't want their dirty washing aired at all, don't tell me.
Even if you're a user of Wikinews but not a contributor and you've got something to say, say it. It'll fool 'em into thinking I've done some real research ("an anonymous user of the service I contacted said.....")
IOW, I'll take anything. You can make stuff up, they won't fucking know. It's almost 12.30 am my time. It's due tomorrow morning. I'd really like to get at least some sleep tonight, so shake a leg.
I'm off to paraphrase Wikinews's FAQ.
Ciao bellas.

I was hoping for a ritual hard drive sacrifice but I guess that'll have to do.

Wow. That is so cool. If only there was a Retail forum my life would be complete.

Whew! I'm really desperate for those extra bonus points.
eg. european dude that was asking where he should go and shop in the US to get good apple deals and not have to pay sales tax.
Oh BTW the presentation was due about 12 hours ago and it's ABD.
US peoples also helped him out with some tourist info
What a coincidence. Some people over at AN supplied some handy links for my presentation about 18 hours ago and some of them were from the US too. But not all of them. One was Australian. I hate those goddamn stinking Australians. They?re ugly. And they smell.

Gee you should apply for the AI Public Relations Officer job. You?ve got a real knack for it. Better be quick. I hear Hassan?s got his eye on the position. I?d PM Kasper about it ASAP if I was you.
yeah i did alright in uni/college
No shit! Me too. When I graduated in 1983.
