I noticed Rochester Institute of Technology is on the list. They subscribed to a legal music download service called Ctrax for a period of time. It was one of those crappy DRM-laden WMA services. As of May 1, 2007, it's no longer being offered.
It's no wonder why it was discontinued... the thing was awful. You couldn't play your music unless you were connected to the internet and it could check the licenses.
The article mentioned that Congress wanted to know about legal alternatives attempted. At least RIT can say they tried... but really, what did they expect? DRMed music is not what students want.
Not only can anyone edit Wikipedia, anyone can become an administrator as well. Anyone who makes valuable contributions to Wikipedia and shows an understanding of policies and Wikipedia's five pillars is welcome to apply to be an administrator.
"Administrator" is somewhat of a misnomer, and many people give the position far more credence than it warrants. The fact that Essjay did not tell the truth about his personal life doesn't really influence Wikipedia's credibility at all; it's the misperception that this somehow influenced his ability to be an upstanding Wikipedian.
I've used MyDomain for 3 years and I am happy with them. I've never had a problem with my domain, and it only costs $8.50 a year.
Aside from offering many services for little or no cost, I have stayed with them because they have frequent promotions (right now I have free WHOIS privacy protection for a year) and their forums have a lot of common questions and answers you might have about your domain.
Granted, I've never tried out other registrars, but I've never felt the need to!
If anyone and anything were given articles on Wikipedia, you *would* have to wade through millions of junk articles to find what you want.
One important requirement for articles on Wikipedia is that they are verifiable. That means providing sources for the information in the article, allowing others to ensure that the article is accurate. If there are no published sources which contain information on the subject of the article, there would be no way of evaluating it. I doubt that the authors of an article on some kid's garage band could provide a reference from outside of their circle of family and friends.
Wikipedia is a tertiary source. Not a primary source, not a secondary source. Articles on Wikipedia are written about what is already published elsewhere. This is an attempt to keep Wikipedia neutral, and minimize the influence that a particular editor's biases might have.
Rochester Institute of Technology has an entire Software Engineering department. Students who take the basic Software Engineering course learn about the software development cycle and work in a team to develop a basic program.
I don't see how a Computer Science student could graduate without a little background that area. Maybe that's why there's always an abundance of code at The Daily WTF?

Makes me wonder if any of the teachers ever read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
