awesome Jon Doe article!! super happy with delivery time.. 31st july at 3.30PM i had the mag in my hand! ^.^

Awesome FastTrack. And awesome delivery time. Had the mag delivered yesterday (31st). (no comments on the main magazine because I haven't read it yet...

)

The magazine is awsome. :-D

And Crack The Code 4 is coming in September :-D

I subscribed to the 3 month aniversery subscription especially for the CTC IV but my subscription ends in August and CTC IV comes in September. Too bad. :-(

I will have to buy the magazine seperately.

the mag came today( 2nd)
mag- amesome
dvd alpha- eh, disappointing
dvd omega- just crazy.

Nice preview. Waiting for it to arrive in my city

Does the wiki has text with images or just text ?

This is the text-only version. The one with images would have been too large to distribute.

Ah. Thought I forgot something. Updated the first post.

What's the difference between your offline wiki and Offline Wiki ?

Read the fine print.

The site you're Pointing to only has the top 314159 articles in its 1gb dump. It isn't a complete offline dump.

The one we have provided is the entire english encyclopedia without images.

Where to get the full english article dump with images from? What is the size of the full dump?

Just search for it in google. You will find an official link from Wikipedia's site itself. If I remember correctly, the dump was over 14GB in size, with images.

The freedom issue was good one, especially I like the idea of offline wikipedia. I wasn't having the wikipedia edition. Thanks for the good one. And the idea of portable netbeans was also great!

Installation Solution plz!! Importing is taking just 40 minutes but after that it is showing absurd 1100 hours[approx] time remaining, fetching those pages. In the instruction manual it is told that It would take only 15-60 minute depending on memory availability !!!!
What to do to complete the setup!! even there are "Sql lite lock" error !!

Please read the instructions again. They clearly state, "Depending on your system configuration, this process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more." so please be patient. It took us 90 minutes to extract at a rate of 3000 pages per minute. I guess you can use that rate as a pointer to your actual extraction time. Even we saw 1100hrs on display but it shouldn't take that long unless you have a really old system.

Please follow the instructions to the letter, if you are still getting that error send a mail to dvd @ thinkdigit .com with screenshots and we will get back to you with instructions.

Finally got this months issue, and have to say it that you guys have done a great job. Glad that CTC IV will be held next month

In the WikiTaxi Importer, the "import now" button is gray. I followed all the previous steps. What to do?

Are you sure you followed the instructions correctly? Please post a screenshot. The option is usually grayed out if the instructions have not been followed.

i also had the grey button.but when you browse and select the file the location will be "J:\backupp\Wikipedia\Wiki_dump\enWiki-pages-articles.xml" after that insert the .bz2 format like "J:\backupp\Wikipedia\Wiki_dump\enWiki-pages-articles.xml.bz2" then automatically the button will be clickable..
excellent work by digit team..pls provide Wikipedia images....
Thank you for the Superb HD Wallpapers

The grey button issue is fixed now. It was my mistake. The ".xml" part was missing in the filename.
