Feels like a stripped-down version of [Mappiness]( http://www.mappiness.org.uk/ ) -- which isn't a bad thing, really.

More open-access publication could enable some really fascinating meta research. There's a really active set of researchers in computational linguistics who study the structure and language of scientific papers, but we tend to focus on AI a

We do it for the good of our profession. All I'm asserting is that the difference between the current system and a self-publishing free-for-all is that under the current system peer review for any single publication is performed by a small

I could indeed. Only under the current system there's someone else, probably more qualified than me, already doing it for me. That's part of what's so great about peer review -- other people do it for you almost all of the time.

I disagree -- an explosion of micro- and self-publishing would make it exponentially harder to stay abreast of new work. I can stay more-or-less up to speed on my field by attending two or three conferences and reading two journals (OK, so

Site completely fails to load without Javascript, and only does a half-assed job of loading with JS enabled. No graceful degradation at all.

IIRC ICO had rather strongly indicated that this would be the case. I'm not surprised, but let's face it -- even if they did enforce a fine it would almost certainly be so laughably small as to make it useless as a deterrent.

You're right, I don't have a lot of empathy for this guy. If I found myself in this situation -- a not-implausible outcome, given the state of my life at the moment -- I would most definitely not react by mailshotting ~100 law firms every w

If I turn down the lights, squint, and pretend I'm a U.S. senator from Texas I read that as "John uses <illegal hacking tools that should be outlawed> to change..."

I disagree. This comes across as a fantastic editorial, with just the right amount of frankness ("The thing is, we're really on the MPAA's side; they just don't realize it.") to make me sit up and take them seriously. My only quibble is tha
