  "Even though Wikipedia is one of the top 5 most visited websites in the
world, we employ fewer than 35 people."

  What do they need 10 million dollars for?

  How much does a bunch of servers, the necessary bandwidth and the salary
of 35 people need? 10 million dollars?

  The tasvideos.org site had recently to be moved from the original owner's
personal computer to a rented server (because the original owner didn't want
to run it on his own computer anymore). The server is rented completely by
donations. A few hundred bucks were donated, and that will help keep the
website running for a couple of *years*.

  Of course the size are not comparable, but still 10 million dollars
seems like quite a lot.
