  • Where did that download come from? Who compiled all those written information into something that can be downloaded by you?

    Try making a compilation of information directly through torrents from scratch and tell me how far you get with that. I’m sure you’ll find that most people do not want to go through that hassle.

    You’re severely underestimating the value of making it easy to compile the information in the first place. And again, those information do not need to be compiled to wikipedia by the writers. They do so because of the value provided by the service.

    The question is, do you think the writers will get paid any better by you sharing their work through torrents than through wikipedia? I don’t think so. If you actually cared about this, go and donate to the writers instead of devaluing the contribution of wikipedia in compiling these information.


  • The articles don’t get written without the servers running, and the writers are not forced to write them. Wikipedia is a free service to share information, so writers are using it as a service, not as an employee. They could have easily not used wikipedia.

    Saying they should be paid is like saying developers should be paid for sharing their code on Github. What you actually want is to follow the FOSS model and donate to the Wikipedia writers directly, not expect the foundation to pay people who use their service for free.








  • It’s unstable because it’s a new file system, not because the guy is a shit programmer. Did you even read your second link? It repeats the exact reason we’ve all tried to tell you, that it was removed because Kent keeps releasing new features during release candidate period.

    Also, I don’t get why you can’t discuss things in a civil manner. Is this why you keep insisting that Kent’s project is not being removed because of his attitude, but because of his lack of skill? Are you scared of admitting that your attitude will one day get you treated the same way as Kent’s does?
