No. Having to pay for access to papers and being forced to pick cotton in the blinding sun every day of your life under pain of the whip are not the same thing .

My experience with 99designs (on the buying side) has been that there are a _lot_ of shitty "designers", but if you persevere someone from Romania will show up and do a pretty good job for very little money. But you have to know exactly wha

I always find it difficult to come up with star ratings because I don't remember what ratings I've given to other things. I'd rather have a "rank in order of preference", or pairwise rank ("Did you like this more or less than..."). You can
