Wikipedia Exposed
Quite an interesting read imo (don’t forget to start at the bottom of the page - damn blogs).
Relying on a publicly editable document for information on controversial topics never seemed all that wise to me. Nevertless I’ve found wikipedia to be a good place to start when looking for technical or basic stuff (such as when someone starts confusing the RC circuits for low-pass and...
