Yea it was a mess while they were doing the wiring for my complex here (I work in the office) all sorts of issues/ horror stories. What i thought was retarded was that they got the contract to run the fiber and drop all new lines, but then decided to piggyback on the existing coax (from 1986) So if you use a hardline to your router instead of going wireless it seriously mutilates your speed

Anyone can edit it, that's the problem.

Re: nfl network gone?
Thanks for the links guys. I will definitely look at wikipedia in a different light now. No wonder you guys didn't take it as 100% legit. While I am sure the majority is correct, you never know what is incorrect.

That doesn't seem very intelligent on wikipedia's part.

That's the whole point of it.

Wikipedia is an online free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has described Wikipedia as "an effort to create and distribute a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest quality to every single person on the planet in his or her own language." Wikipedia exists to bring knowledge to everyone who seeks it.

Nope. The founder of the site even admitted the people who have the power to "fix" people's edit had a liberal leaning too, which is not good when it comes to history and political articles. I'm not saying they're always wrong, but it makes people pick and choose which facts to include and also makes people interpret things differently and therefore affects how they write things. An encyclopedia SHOULD be written without emotions or opinions tarnishing actual facts.

It's basically a big collection of people's writings, whether they're factual or editorial-styles, only the authors know.

Wiki is more of a hangout/blog-type thing than legit resource. This is why most schools (at least the decent ones) ban students from using it as a reference in their papers and reports.

I thought this part was amusing:

How are getting knowledge if it's just someone's opinion that hasn't been verified? The only thing they are doing is causing more ignorance than embracing knowledge!
I'm very glad you guys pointed this out to me.

I think there's something called Wikiscanner now that tells you who's editing what.

Wikipedia is usually accurate, but it never hurts to have a second source to confirm
