This past weekend, at the SXSW conference, a new initiative was launched to "get video on Wikipedia", http://videoonwikipedia.org/
That sounds like a great idea.
Uh.. binary content in a wiki.
Well.. the other option are Youtube, that can't be trusted, as videos are removed often. Or the archive.org [1], that seems his mission.
[1] http://www.archive.org/details/movies
But among the first videos to be uploaded since the announcement are two that show some construction equipment and both break my browser every time I try to watch them. How can this be possible with a fully updated Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8 on Ubuntu Linux?
Uh.. buffer overflow errors, complex file format loaders in programming languages like C.... Or false assumptions about memory management with poor detection error and fatal consecuences. Maybe even bad program intercomunication. ... The internet was built on text based protocols to avoid these problems or help debug then.
