No it is not idle chatter: and to make matters worse, some attempts to cure the situation just make it worse. For PhD-s, at least. The European Commission is making an experiment within its FP-s (i.e. FP6) to introduce an "alternative" trai

In the U.S.A. entire generations have given up on cooking (mainly for apparent comfort), and therefore have forgotten about it. Literally. Even worse, they are therefore incapable of passing on this cultural "rule" either. These kinds of ar

Yes. It is all about writing business plans in advance: i.e. have the poker-face to promise in advance to the funding agencies' excel-wrangling paper-tossers, that you will make that given discovery [WTF!]. It is like raising VC capital: an

Teaching has nothing to do with it (see Brian Harvey at the bottom of the ranks). Papers have nothing to do with it. Really few papers are read these days. I would guess, that an average IEEE author _writes_ the same number or more papers t

As all detector arrays, digital sensors have a fingerprint/signature/profile [however you look at it] that can affect noise/(d)efficiency/colour etc. This used to be all too apparent, even Kodak digital cameras had a correction-filter file
