Encyclopedia in your PC

Now you could download the whole WikiPedia in XML format. download.wikimedia.org providing the database dump of Wikipedia for current pages, titles only and full pages to be dowloaded. How big could it be? It’s more than 14GB.

So it’s Encyclopedia in your PC if you know how to setup up mediawiki and load the dump file. Or you might want to print it out (who would want to do that?). Or if you are creative enough, there’re lots of things you could experiment with the XML files. Have fun.
