[Foundation-l] university blocking wikipedia

Correct. Although you say we're discussing wither Wikipedia is blocked 
from Palm Beach County Network, this is actually incorrect, because 
technicially we're talking about *universities* blocking wikipedia (and 
I hijacked the thread, I'm sorry)

That said, I was actually wrong, the correct/current category for 
Wikipedia is "Reference", which may be better or worse, depending on 
your standpoint.

I took a screenshot from one of the very few Macs on the network (most 
of the computers are the, you guess it, cheapo Dells):

An email was sent out today explaining that Google-related sites (expect 
  Search) were not going to be unbanned, as they allow access to YouTube 
and other banned sites (ah... sure, where in Google Docs & Spreadsheets 
is that?)
