A web site as been created with intention to take Wikipedia to court – http://www.wikipediaclassaction.org/

People seem more concerned with their own image than helping the world at large. Rather then seeing an incorrect page, registering and correcting it they seem to think the answer is to take them to court.

Why?

It does no favours to anyone other than the lawyers. The whole point of Wikipedia is that it is for everybody by everybody. Take someone to court and win, then everyone is afraid to contribute unless they get it wrong and get taken to court. Lose and all that happens is they change target to the next guy down the line, the ISP. Any gueses what they will do. That’s right. Shut down the server. They don’t want to loose the reputation and other customers.

Please try to remember why we work in teams, because we can accomplish so much more than individuals. The bigger the team the better the result for everybody. So work as a team, contribute to society, change an incorrect page on Wikipedia, and please don’t take everybody to court.

It stinks. Once again a few small people are trying to ruin it for everyone.

More as a reminder to me than any thing else. To get XDMCP support in the tsclient in Ubuntu then install xnest.

I’ve done it. Finished. Complete.

On Thursday I handed it in at 16:43 (or so the offical slip says). Two nicely bound copies with a third kept to show around and for me to save.

Then today I gave a quick demonstration of the four main virtual machines to my supervisor. After that it was back to ‘work’ to hand over my laptop.

So other than the viva after Christmas I’m done. To put it another way there is not a lot I can do now to improve my mark.

To answer two questions I’ve had a lot today – I get the results in late Feburary/early March and yes you can have a read of the electronic copy. I’m going to convert it to a pdf and then I’ll post it here.
