Wikipedia For Schools DVD Released 132

David Gerard writes "SOS Children's Villages has released the 2008/9 Wikipedia Selection for Schools — 5500 checked and reviewed articles matching the English National Curriculum, produced by SOS for use in their own schools in developing countries. The 2007 edition was a huge success, with distributions to schools in four countries, use by the Hole in the Wall education project, thousands of downloads and disks and around 6000 unique IPs a day visiting the online version — the most successful end-user distribution version of Wikipedia to date."

This one is a bit long but it addresses some of the inconvenient truths about the market and the problems with subprime loans wonderfully.

carriers take about half of premium sms cost (imagine visa charging 50% on each transaction) and at the same time they are protecting themselves against competition by reducing amount of premium sms they process?? reminds me of a dinosaur munching on his left foot who doesn't feel the pain yet as it takes time to travel in his long and stupid body.
