Workaround the Blackout: Accessing Wikipedia content despite the blackout

While Wikipedia has announced a blackout for 24 hours against the recent US legislative actions, it has left adequate room for someone in desperate need of accessing the articles.
The trick is to stop loading of the page before the redirection happens.
As this article, http://venturebeat.com/2012/01/18/wikipedia-blackout-workaround/, points out the easiest way to do that would be to hit the escape key. The timing is important here though. Nevertheless you can always reload the page and give a second try.

Competitive Programming

Programming a Sport ? I didn't know that until today !! I was amazed to look around and find that so many initiatives abound on the internet that aim at popularizing programming. I got started at codechef.com , then watched an amazing inspirational video http://www.codechef.com/school The getting started page launched me into a web of great resources - http://www.codechef.com/getting-started Check every link ! I met two great heros of the sport in that great journey - 'tourist' and 'petr' The latter is elder to me while the former is just 19 now. petr works for Google but is still a great force in the sport. The ACM ICPC is like the olympics of programming where teams participate. Codechef's envision's the Indian team winning some day and the Go-for-Gold section is particularly geared towards that. Codechef also has a school section. Mathewkuttan, Maxwell - what do you think ?
