What happens when mom & pop are storing your name and credit card # in plain text and then your identity gets stolen and credit ruined? Should we still be "charitable" to them and their d-bag nephew?

But what about the companies making millions in profit each year that are carelessly exposing sensitive data because they don't want to spend a little more on quality IT work? No one wants to see their local pizza shop lose their pizza

The only thing that can really explain this is an elaborate form of price fixing between universities. If one university announced they were slashing "online-only" tuition costs, others would probably be forced to follow suit. It

Are there any schools that are opening their online material to the public? What a great opportunity to spread knowledge. With all this "defunding" talk, it's probably a good time to reassess how much taxpayer money goes to u
