I wouldn't go so far as to say "the world’s first social dictionary"... did you do any research before making this claim?

So, how would a site like leximo be more of a "social dictionary" than say a site like lingoz.com?

Websites like urbandictionary and lingoz do not take ownership of the content added by users.

Any words, definitions, or other information (collectively, "Content") posted on the Website shall remain your sole and exclusive property, and you shall be solely responsible for your Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it.

What they do is receive a non-exclusive right to use the content.

The content submitted by users on Leximo does not belong to the public domain. Whoever adds the content is the expressed copyright holder. By putting Leximo's content under CC - Share alike license you are simply forcing Leximo contributors to grant the use of the copyrighted material as long as the content used in other work attributes the work to the original author by linking to the page on leximo.org.

Leximo also receives a non-exclusive right to use the content added by their members. The CC-by-sa license simply promotes the linking back to Leximo by anyone else who uses your members copyrighted content.

You cannot say that this does not help Leximo in the long run. Why do you think that Wikipedia became so popular? Linking (by attribution) increases a sites search rankings and also drives traffic back to the main site.

You quote "people contribute and Babylon gains from their work", does this not also apply to Leximo?

Every site gains from people contributing...

I support copyleft licenses but I think the cc-by-sa license is made out to be more free than it really is.

Russia played their second best game at the tournament. The best would be against Holland!

I'm a Russian fan and I'll enjoy Holland - Russia game. Thanks so much Guus, thanks to you Advocaat! You Dutch guys are great for Russia! We love Holland and it's super exciting to play such a splendid team in such long awaited quater-final!

If you guys win, you gonna become champions! :-)

We just call Dick Advocaat simply "Advokat" and Guus Hiddink "Goos". But that's a good point, he's name is sure cocky ;-) Gus said "it's not enough for him", he wants to beat the crap out of his own country squad. What a man he is!

Also watch Toni and Co (- Pirlo and Gattuso) getting pounded by Spain. Coming soon. :-)

Re: 4chan Versus Twitter: Round One

"I think it's unlikely they are related, the 4Chan attack used newly formed accounts (for the most part) and by the sounds of it at least some of the accounts suspended are old accounts."

These stories are over exaggerated and the whole scheme is a deliberate attempt to gain more press for 4chan, so the admin can make some extra money from the increased traffic. The users are mostly troubled teenagers so it's unlikely they realize they are being used as spammers, instead they see themselves as rulers of the internet. The forum is anonymous based so who knows who started it all (the admins of the site cough).

"In February 2009 the Washingon Post reported that moot had attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia for a few semesters before dropping out. It reported that moot was living with his mother while looking for a way to make money from owning 4chan."

Barak's mostly black because black genes are dominate and white genes are recessive - basic biology! A white couple can only produce white children. a black couple can produce children of every color including white - again basic biology! As to your inquiry on the preference of nationalization of ...... just call them what you really feel in you heart - speaking from the heart is always best!!!!!

It's actually some of RZA's best work. How strange that headz can't get past their expectations. LISTEN to the album instead of deciding what you think after a couple of listens.

You know what I like about rocketboom? It was a success by accident. They didn't over-think the show structure, they just got on there and pretended to report goofy shit. I think you've forgotten what having a vblog is all about. Being yourself, making mistakes, being spontaneous and having a structure without structure. Please don't waste peoples download time with predictability and gibberish. Shake shit up and be yourself about it. No need to reinvent the wheel with what people want to see. Good luck

Better theory, Peter absorbs Sylar's powers.

Therefore Sylar becomes the nice guy we saw in the future during Volume 3, and Peter becomes the hardass we've seen in the future so many times

Ok... like Beth said, Mr. Ed is Dead you can put the stick down and back away from him. Why you continue to preach I don't know. You should just feel big of yourself for shutting down a Autosurf folder in one board, but don't think you'll accomplish it in a second. My word we have done NOTHING to you so get off our backs.

I found out the right way to fix the issue where-in you don't get any signals on t-mobile (or any other GSM carrier) once you upgrade to firmware 2.0 and then downgrade back to 1.1.4...the detailed instructions are at : http://iphone-tmobile-nosignal.blogspot.com/

That hideous painting looks like a cross between a Hieronymus Bosch drug-addled nightmare and a hideous socialist realist propaganda poster -- all that's missing is the heroic Dear Leader with outstretched arm.

Oh, wait. If you look near the bottom right, there is a crudely pasted-in Obama poster. It's so bad it's hilarious. Is it a joke?
