Why can't people realize that what is irritating to some, is interesting to others? Why can't people realize that censorship does not stop conversation, it makes it explode elsewhere to the detriment of all parties? Will

What we know so far is someone said "was he fired?" and now we know he has a last day posted. It's a little odd to work for only a few months at a job though. So "fired" wouldn't be a bad guess. "Quit in a huff" could be another guess. Will

"Proven" sounds a little strong to my mind. I would say "there is no evidence of how the termination occurred"

So there. Some of the companies I've worked for think I'm the cat's meow (that's a good thing), and some think I'm the devil incarnate. I guess that's my character. I leave an impression that is not forgotten. Mavericks get fired. People who've never been fired might be too placid for my taste. Spice is part of life. W

[Foundation-l] Comparison of Chinese Wikipedia, Hudong and Baidu Baike
by Ziko van Dijk 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello, Having read http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/14/wiki.china/ I would like to collect more information about the situation of online encyclopedias in China Mainland. I am now browsing a litte bit around with Google Translator, but it remains difficult to get an impression concerning the following questions: * how the collaboration process differs * how good is the content * how liberal is the content (not contamined directly or indirectly by the government) Does someone of you knows more? Kind regards -- Ziko van Dijk NL-Silvolde
