	CNN.com - Wikipedia: The know-it-all Web site - Aug. 4, 2003
		It's described as a free encyclopedia logging over 140,000 articles sent in by people from all over the world.
		Student Tony Yeung took a digital camera to Hong Kong's Victoria Peak and published a Wiki entry on the popular tourist lookout.
		But it really does follow the open source model, which is that more eyeballs make all bugs shallow.

		The concept of open source software is that anyone can modify the source code of a program and therefore improve it, remove bugs, or add features that other developers might not have thought of.
		It is of course possible for someone to come along and write that Will Ferrell is in fact the inventor of Parcheesi I will address this point later in the article.
		There is also a link to Wikinews, a news source which combines other news sources to produce single articles from a neutral point of view.

	Beware of boxelder bugs \| Science Buzz
		Between years seven and ten, the bugs tend to be the most reproductively active.
		Awareness pertaining to boxelder bug populations paired with a hypothesized population explosion this upcoming fall was the main objective of this post.
		The toxins used to exterminate the bugs are probably mre harmful thatn the bugs themselves.

	Wikinfo \| Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		It was intended as a multilingual, complete and accurate open content encyclopedia (in which it has been moderately successful).
		The accuracy and objectiveness of some articles sometimes suffers, but participants argue that their experience has shown that over time these drawbacks will be reduced, as the quality and balance of individual articles improves.
		Brion Vibber has since taken the lead in fixing bugs and tuning the database for performance.

		Generally, my encyclopedia searches are for fairly quick information regarding questions I find in my usual Web searches, so keeping this in a nice little widget, separate from my regular Web browsing, is great.

	Software bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.
		A bug in the code controlling the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine was directly responsible for some patient deaths and in 1996, the European Space Agency's US$1 billion prototype Ariane 5 rocket was destroyed less than a minute after launch, due to a bug in the on-board guidance computer program.
		One cause of the Therac-25 radiation machine deaths was a bug that occurred only when the machine operator very rapidly entered a treatment plan; it took days of practice to become able to do this, so the bug did not manifest in testing or when the manufacturer attempted to duplicate it.

		We track bugs in compilers, operating systems, and other software external to the Apache C++ Standard Library that affect the correct behavior or performance of the library or programs that use it in the bug tracking database along with other bugs.
		Add the patch to the bug report in the form of a comment (when the patch is just a few lines of text), or in the form of an attachment to the issue.

		But if you do, please fill in a valid e-mail address in the box after the bug description so that you can be sent e-mail when the bug is updated.
		This is important in case the developer needs more information about how to reproduce the bug.
		Sometimes developers may reject, or misunderstand a bug report or feature request and close a report that you think is still valid.

		56 thousand people have edited wikipedia and about a hundred thousand (though this number is difficult to estimate) have worked on the Linux kernel and its best-known desktop environments.
		But there are so many contributors that some of them will want to write detailed histories of the Democratic Republic of Congo and help compile comprehensive lists of the etymologies of the names of Ohio counties.
		Recently, i have found, at least for the searches that i make, that wikipedia is a more relevant source of information than the collective results from google (at least those results that i cared to browse through).

	Wikitravel:Cooperating with Wikipedia - Wikitravel
		For example, the entry on the United Kingdom should have a thumbnail sketch of the country's history, but detailed information on Henry VIII is inappropriate.
		MediaWiki has a bug tracker; you can use that tool to submit new bugs.
		Make sure that it's a problem with the software and not with Wikitravel first, of course, and check to make sure that the bug you've identified isn't already in the tracker.

		B.A. has the potential to reach thousands of new students and interested amateurs, and to shape their online researching habits for ever more, so a recommendation from them is a huge thing.
		Not only was there debate about whether she should even have an entry (and why shouldn’t she?) it was culturally inappropriate to edit her own page to correct information she knew (who better?) to be factually inaccurate.
		There are, however, people who want more in-depth knowledge and it might be better (for example) if they were first presented with the archaeological facts as we have them, before being introduced to theories about how the pyramids served as landing platforms for aliens.

		Therefore, if we claim that club size is regulated by different categories of costs and benefits and we would like to compare those costs and benefits in order to decide the optimal size of a club, it is worth noting that it is not always an objective exercise.
		The claims of club theory that excludible goods are more efficiently produced in small associations, whose boundaries are necessarily circumscribed by crowding, and that the public sector should have no role in the provision of clubs, are contradicted by the observed case.
		In their case, the positive externality generated by increasing the size of the network provides a stronger incentive that outweighs the assumption of club theory that there is value in exclusivity.

		But he said he has no sympathy for their plight, noting that he thinks to himself: "For God sake, you're in college; don't cite the encyclopedia," the journal reports.
		By not doing so, by allowing his entry to contain libelous information, he was in essence accusing himself of murdering Kennedy.

	The BUGS Project - Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling

		There is a page of documentation for BUGS and CODA which contains the manual and worked examples documents.

	ONLamp.com -- How to Decide What Bugs to Fix When, Part 2
		When we last discussed bugs, we talked about essential no-frills tactics like triage, prioritization, and naked co-ed blindfolded palm reading (a lie to get you to look at part 1).
		Performance bugs are often the most frustrating for customers, and tend to require complex work to fix (hint: you want to identify them early).
		A common way to deliver on many of these ideas is to dedicate a full-time person to the role of quality assurance, or if you already have one, to provide them with more resources to do their job (http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/07/08/dev_team.html).

	Bugs Bunny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bugs Bunny is an Academy Award-winning fictional street-smart anthropomorphic gray rabbit who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Warner Bros., and is one of the most recognizable characters, real or imaginary, in the world.
		Bugs Bunny has some similarities to figures from mythology and folklore, such as Br'er Rabbit or Anansi, and might be seen as a sort of modern trickster.
		Bugs Bunny was popular during the World War II years because of his bombastic attitude, and began receiving special star billing in his cartoons by 1943.

		All glibness aside, I wonder (a) what it would take to successfully integrate the Akismet API into a program like MediaWiki and (b) what kind of resources would need to be poured into Automattic to make it possible with regard to server load and resource usage.
		Akismet is being used now for wikis and bugs on Trac, and I hear the results have been good.

		The site operates through the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organisation that relies on donations to pursue its goal of spreading knowledge for free.

		The idea that comparable authority could come from a resource that can literally be edited by anyone, regardless of their level of expertise, seems to defy logic.
		A better approach is to color the text of the latest revision depending on the age of each word.
		Protecting against this failure in the majority of cases may be as simple as adding a check to ensure that any edit selected for coloring wasn’t reverted by the next edit to the article, and if so, selecting the next oldest revision to represent the color instead.
