Removing Obstacles on Joint Research

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the playing-nice dept.

Mark_Uplanguage writes "The New York Times is reporting that a conglomeration of 7 universities and 4 industry partners have agreed to open up software created out of industry funding. From the article: 'The tone was set, Ms. Mitchell said, by the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which allowed universities to hold the patents on federally funded research and to license that intellectual property to industry [...]The guidelines and framework for the agreement will [be] posted this week at www.ibm.com/university, and at the Kauffman foundation's site, www.kauffman.org.' It's nice to see people sharing again."

      But of course, using joints.

      You know, which rolling papers work best, do exploding seeds really detract from the experience, that sort of thing.

      you want seeds? you'll shoot your eye out, kid!

    We definitely need to remove some of the obstacles for researching joints. There needs to be much more research done in that area to clear up some of the BS propoganda that was created for us in the Anslinger/Hearst days.

    The obstacles must be removed so real scientific research can be done on joints.

    I would like to volunteer for this research as well.

    Man Stoner: No, wait a minute don't take that.
    Pedro: [Worried] Hey, man; what was that shit you gave me?
    Man Stoner: Man, that was the most acid I ever saw anyone take at one time, man.
    Pedro: [panicing] Acid! Man, I don't mess with that shit, man. A guy in my neighborhood took some
    once, his head swelled up and everything, man!
    Man Stoner: [laughing] Ho, ho, ho - man, I hope you're not planning on doing anything for the next couple of months.

    Blatantly off-topic, but what's this new 'free day pass' link on the top of the slashdot homepage? It's telling me to watch a commercial for a day pass. What kind of numbnuts thinks up these ideas for a geek-targeted website?? Sorry, just had to rant about this for a while ;)
