Wikipedia's community is awful. It's a perfect example of a community that has become utterly defensive about it's flaws. I was a pretty prolific editor, too, before I decided to leave.

My particular beef with Wikipedia is it's massive biases (particularly in respect to geography and gender). The average wikipedian is a middle-aged anglophone male from an upper middle class background and living in the US or Western Europe. They have very clear interests and disinterests, and anything that doesn't interest them will be deleted without hesitation or consideration. Discussion on the point usually just results in pointing to notability guidelines or long-established precedent for which there is no interest in changing.

Worse, conversation is adversarial in a way that can barely be believed. I was accused of being "drunk" for refusing to agree with an admin, and because I was posting on, I think, Thanksgiving (I think there's an assumption, perhaps, that Americans get drunk on Thanksgiving and troll on wikipedia - I'm not American so...).

Yeah, plus, "...a tolerance for working for a lower wage..."

Wage growth in the many countries in the Western World has been stagnant or negative for decades. Inequality between the richest and poorest has been exacerbated beyond reason. And, still, people argue that wages need to be lower.

We are in the middle of an era where the capitalistic exploitation of the poor by the rich is completely out of control. This is not even close to "techno-utopian". The opposite. A dystopia.

Australian guy here. An outside perspective. You guys are ridiculous.

It seems from the initial post, and from a great many of he posts here, that you are all desperately trying to read something in to CNN's point that they've seen the guy move on, and they're not going to identify him at this stage, because presumably they feel that this particular part of the whole violence against journalists issue is played out. It is not a threat.

Seriously, you guys need to get some perspective.

Yeah. That's more or less the problem. Most teachers don't use them any more than as glorified blackboard/video projector hybrids. There's very little training available. The schools that are trying to make better use of them set up "user groups", where the teachers who have a bit more ability with them are expected to pass on their skills and knowledge to their colleagues (and be, more or less, completely ignored).

I'm pretty much at the top of the game regarding the use of the standard software, but, as I've got better with it, the clunkiness has really started to grate on my nerves. I know that the things cost a few thousand each, and I want to be able to use them to their full potential.

You wouldn't believe the battle I had to fight to get Google Chrome installed on my classroom computer and the bank of laptops that I use with my students. If you can believe it, the preference was for IE9.

Have you got a particular extension in mind? I have looked...

...There are some Argentinians who would like to have a word with you, Unknown Lamer. ;)
