The article in question was cited 4300 times. That is a lot. This would suggest this must be a fundamental paper for that particular field. How many times has the paper been discussed in classes, discussions, literature clubs, etc.? If so, the scientists are probably very well acquainted with the work, with out having the paper on their desk while typing in the reference. You can easily grab another paper that cites the original, with out digging through your file cabinet full of papers. Managing references can be a huge task. I have a small collection of papers, but even this is over 250. I know others with over 1,000. Any yes, we have read every one of them. That doesn't guaranty I will pull the paper out of my drawer every time I cite it. Many others in this discussion have also mentioned inaccuracies in the databases. It does happen, if you don't agree talk to your local inter-library loan. Contrary to the media's perspective, you should never believe what you read until you have tested it yourself or others have confirmed the work. Didn't Einstein say "Believe Nothing"?
Thank you to all of those out there who have decided to attend trade school or "blow off" your general education requirements. It is people like you who allow those of us with an education to succeed. I hope you take great pleasure watching those "stupid college graduates" get promoted when you do not. It only makes sense after all, since they can relate to the boss, where you cannot.
Remember, there is more to your job than what is written in your job description!
It would seem to me that if someone has published a encrypted DVD of non-copyrighted material, that according to the arguments of the MPAA itself, there would be a legitimate use for DeCSS. Surely, someone has inadvertently done this! There is a lot of material available in the public domain.

You can't just think about starting salaries and entry level positions. You are preparing yourself for a career that should last you the rest of your life! Take your time and take as many classes as you can afford. If you think you can pick something up later by taking another class or reading a book you either a) aren't working hard enough and I would fire you; b) don't have a life outside of work and I should fire you; or c) you aren't staying current with recent advances and again I would fire you! All fields move fast (some not as fast as computers) and if you intend to keep your job and possibly even get a raise you have to know what you are doing. If I can hire a fresh graduate that knows more than a current employee, who do you think will get laid off soon? I expect employees to become more valuable as they gain experience, if they don't I will find someone who does. With that said, take as many classes as you can, you can never know too much. Focus on what you enjoy and you will create a niche for yourself that makes you a valuable employee. College is just a few short years, you can get through it. Think how disappointed you would be if you took the easy route and found yourself getting passes over for promotion while young kids are becoming your superiors. A few years of hard work now will pay off down the road, simply because that is what employers are looking for!

Does this mean those kids with the loud bass now have to pay as well? After all if you can hear it for two blocks it must be a public performance!
The troll's have had FB support for some time now in their QT embeded. This looks like it is the same thing. Anyone played with both who can comment?
