    I tried, and failed, to think of any reason for that book to be banned.

    If you look very closely at one specific image, you can see a topless woman on a beach. I have to admit that I was pretty surprised to see nudity in a Where's Waldo book (even of the silly, cartoony variety), although not so surprised that I'd want to run out and ban it.

  5. CollegePublisher by jtmas83 · · Score: 2, Informative · on CMS for High School Newspaper Website?

    My college's newspaper uses College Publisher. However, I know absolutely nothing about it, including how much it costs.

    Personally, I second the suggestion of Drupal; while it would probably take a bit of time to get it to do what you want, it's extremely customizable and once you get used to it, it's very easy to use. Plus, it's free.

  6. Re:negative wording by OldSchoolNapster · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access

    Unwired is a bad thing. At UTDallas we have wireless in almost every school building and in every on-campus apartment. We DON'T have ethernet in the apartments. We are a tech school, and you can just imagine what it's like when hundreds of tech students try to use the wireless network at the same time. I want wires! I can't even imagine why at least the new apartments don't have ethernet. Maybe it's a conspiracy to cut down on filesharing by making it nearly impossible to even access the internet.

    I don't want to theorize on why we didn't make the list, but my guess is it's cuz we didn't use Intel. Eat me Intel. AMD for life!

  7. There is a market by strudeau · · Score: 2, Informative · on A College Online Newspaper Suite as Open Source?

    I work for a college newspaper.

    There is definitely a market for software to run college newspaper websites. Two companies that provide services are College Publisher and Digital Partners. As far as I can tell, College Publisher's tools and terms are pretty awful. Digital Partners is better. Most of their stuff is written in PHP, their template system allows for more flexibility and their terms (on things like ad revenue sharing, costs, locations of banners, etc) are a bit more reasonable. Our paper uses Digital Partners, and they seem to be growing rapidly. I think we could do better on our own if their were resources (or willing talent) available -- I'm too busy keeping things running to develop a project.

    I think a cooperative effort of college papers to produce an open source content management system to for publishing a paper online would be a fantastic project. If work begins on this, please let me know (strudeau takethispartout AT umich dot edu) ...

    This could be built in many ways on top of many open source CMS solutions (OpenACS, Zope, midgard, etc). One project that might be worth looking at is PROPS which is designed specifically for newspapers and seems to be pretty simple and workable ... written in php.

  8. Please Yes by a+hollow+voice · · Score: 2, Interesting · on A College Online Newspaper Suite as Open Source?
    When I was working for my college newspaper, we used College Publisher, and I was NOT impressed. It was a relatively small college, so there wasn't really a source of free labor in the CS department, and the powers that be thought the best choice was to pay for hosting at College Publisher so they could slather our site with their ads for credit cards, etc. and offer us "valuable syndicated content" that nobody read.

    I would have loved something built from the ground-up for our purposes, particularly if it offered similar features (article submission/review/revision process, for example) without all the nonsense College Publisher gave us.

    Heh. Reminds me of a crisis that occurred a while back. Standardized microsoft platform, standardized MCSE bullshit. Don't believe me, read this article. The best part is around paragraph 8. A must read if you've had a dull, humorless day.
