This would qualify as "green" open access ("gold" open access being provided directly by the journal). So you can blame authors for not posting their papers online if you feel so inclined.

Unfortunately, transfer of copyright seems more the norm than the exception in the world of journals. The open access movement seems to have eroded this somewhat.

I stayed at a Formule 1 in France in 2002 that was also fully automated (self cleaning showers and toilets too). They apparently have an iphone app now as well.

I must be dumb or something. I think they just have a poorly designed site.

Lamprey or remora? Sort of changes the analogy. A lamprey kills its host. A remora just eats the scraps.

Depends on what they're using the site for (e.g. random hook ups means repeat customer).

Mobile data seems very expensive in the US compared to Europe Just don't get on a train for a couple hours and stop in another country. Roaming data rates will kill you in Europe!

Asus is coming out with their own version of the Kinect made by the same people who engineered part of the Kinect for Microsoft. So Kinect won't be the only game in town. http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/03/primesense-and-asus-team-...

I don't know if other bands are doing this, but Phish did live pay-per-view of their New Year's Eve mini tour for $15-$20 per show. That seems like a very interesting model. I love going to see concerts, but can easily imagine paying $x to

Europe’s toiling masses sometimes go on strike, leaving streets unswept and commuters stranded. Chinese expats find this shocking. Though there are stoppages in some factories in China, no one strikes in public services there As an Americ

FWIW, I think the US has the wealthiest population of African or African decedents in the world. Of course this may be simply a function of the average wealth of the US. On the other hand, I think you will see the same kind of skin color ba

My experience in Europe has been that the discrimination is much more out in the open than in the US. Maybe the response isn't.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just ban children from using the internet? They could just point those CCTV cameras at every computer to keep an eye out for violators. Pretty straight forward actually. </sarcasm>

I think that the goal of 100% code testing will exclude most research using software not written by professional programmers (i.e. most software in science and engineering research).

it would have been entirely improper for his name to appear on work he hadn't contributed to. I do agree with that, but I think it's far from rare in academia.

In the US (and other places I assume), the endpoint of your PhD is determined by two things: successful completion of your research and your advisor's approval. (You could argue that your advisor's approval is the only thing). That means th

Did your supervisor think your work was good enough to attach his name to? I think that counts in the cheap labor argument, even if you aren't just a worker on the assembly line. I think good advisors (should) enjoy supervising for the sake

When I started, I don't remember any students talking about what we were going to do, postdocing, or the like. I think none of us had really thought about it very much. Definitely excitement about the subject was blinding at that point. Now

I think you could say that they are funded well, in the sense that no one should be paying out of pocket, but that is different than saying that they get paid well. It depends a lot on school, location, and (possibly) subject.

From what I hear, Denmark universities pay grad students unusually high salaries. I do agree that networking is very valuable. As a PhD student I do about 95% of my work from home, but I also have been able to attend a lot of conferences an

I'd imagine that in the field you'd be wearing gloves a lot. That might be problematic with most touch screens.

Just out of curiosity, what makes Proper Suit better than Indochino or others? Also, where are your suits made? I've never bought a suit online, but am considering.
