Many of them still do. In fact, some of them are also loaning Xbox 360/PS3/Wii games as well.

Researchers Discover That Sand Behaves Like Water 192
Xeger writes "University of Chicago researchers have found that streams of sand can behave in a similar manner to liquids, forming water-like droplets when poured from a funnel. To obtain these results, they dropped their expensive high-speed camera from a height of several meters and observed the sand forming into droplets — something that shouldn't happen without surface tension. These findings suggest that conventional engineering wisdom about sand, dirt and other grainy materials needs to be rethought, and that it might be possible to apply fluid dynamics to some solids problems."

I installed Arch on my 701, and I have been really happy with it so far. I only have what I need installed on it, and the thing boots in like 20 seconds. There is actually a good article in the works on the Arch wiki on how to set it up on the eee. There are custom kernels that are ready to go and everything. If you know your way around linux good enough, I would recommend giving it a try.

There's a history section of all the edits.
If you note the date and time of your cite, you should be fine. I'm sure people know that Wikis are ever changing.
In other words: don't put too much worry into it.
