True. Every week or so the Washington Post publishes a special section called "Russia Today." It's a PR piece promoting business with Russia. I wonder if this would be considered a type of "aggression" under these totalitarian rules?
I know many people for whom LinkedIn was important in getting a new job.
Linkedin won't get you a job. But it might improve your chances of connecting with people who can refer you to jobs. You have to use it as part of a strategy that includes more than Linkedin especially if you are in a professional field. (I address this topic here: http://www.ddmcd.com/basics.html )
Scientific journals have been obsolete since they were invented in the 17th Century. They force people to create fixed units of information (on print or digital paper) that immediately become out of date and which can no longer reflect the current thinking of the author or the author's readers.
The processes by which these "pages" of information (and increasingly, the supporting data) are created, distributed, reviewed, and consumed, however, continue to evolve. That's what keeps this complex system of creativity, peer review, communication, education, quality control, scientific socialization, and information dissemination alive.

I did when I started researching which online music vendors were telling their customers which CD's they sold contained DRM that might make the products unusable. Most online vendors -- and initally Amazon --- responded that they were not supplied this information by their suppliers.
Overstock was the only company I surveyed that stated they would advertise DRM presence on their online catalogs. Interestingly, BMG's BMG Music Service also said they were unable to provide such information.
Another interesting finding was that, even as Amazon's customer rep was emailing me to say they didn't have DRM info, Amazon actually WAS providing copy protetection information on individual titles.
I finally gave up on following up on the survey after I decided to stop buying CD's altogethe. It's a dead format and is being hastened to the grave by industry efforts such as Sony's DRM rootkit.
It's not an urban myth. Read Hadley Cantril's 1941 study "Invasion from Mars: a Study in Panic." Here's what the Midwest Book Review, quoted by Amazon.com, says:
Hadley Cantril was chairman of the Institute for international Social Research: his Invasion From Mars: A Study In The Psychology Of Panic originally appeared in 1940 but remains a modern classic even in its reprint edition over fifty years later. The focus on the lasting effects of Orson Welles' radio adaptation of the fantasy War of the Worlds explores how radio could have such an effect - and how people judged the accuracy of what they were hearing on the radio.
Nonsense. I use Firefox, use both Windows and Mac computers, never use Linux, and I believe in copyright (ddmcd.squarespace.com). Put that in your Venn diagram and smoke it.
