There's no other reasonable mod for it. Either you're mocking arrogant jerks, which is funny, or you're one of those arrogant jerks and don't realize it, which is even funnier.
Yeah. I tried that first. It's what frequently works for me with mathematical papers. But thanks. At least someone who typically needs lmgtfy might get something out of this.
My county only has 4 million residents. The county library system doesn't have *any* journals available. I have a card. And a login. And I've been to multiple branches.
You are just part of a brainwashed generation that demands to have everything you want paid for AND given to you, not only for free, but with zero effort on your part.
I'm 50. Is that the generation you're referring to? I'm also 1/2 of a two-engineer household. My yearly income taxes are significantly more than an entry level engineering salary - you know, the taxes that already helped to pay for the research. Don't tell me I'm not making any effort and don't jump to conclusions about "my generation" because you obviously know fuck all about it.
But hey. You're a smart person. You know all about me. My political views. My library status. Guess what? You're just as wrong about all of them. Absolutely every assumption you made was 100% wrong. Amazing. I would imagine you must get used to being wrong a lot though.
Instead of blathering on with your erroneous, ignorant opinions, maybe you ought to take a good long look at yourself and realize you're actually preaching to yourself. Geez. What a douchebag.
When you say "go to a library" you are implying that everyone has access to a University library or similarly large, well-funded location. Not all libraries have access to journals. Although I don't have a reference for this, I suspect that the vast majority of libraries don't. I'm fortunate in the fact that I can spend an hour of total travel time (granted, 20 minutes of this will be spent waiting for the train) to get to a major University. I envision that one day there will be a series of tubes that give us access to this type of information from nearly anywhere and not a severely limited number of physical locations.
According to the articles, the alloy isn't particularly exotic and the processing isn't difficult. I'd love to know what they specifically used. Sadly, they published in Nature. So I can view the paper for $5 or download as PDF for $32. Or, you know, subscribe for $200. What I don't get is why I, as one of the millions of taxpayers that funded this research, don't have free access to the paper.
Yes. I know. Preaching to the choir, OA journals, etc. That still doesn't change the fact that I find this both irritating and wrong.
It would seem that way. I haven't looked at the protocols, but I do have the OS X Server app ($19.99) running on a Mini on my home network with the caching functionality turned on. It appears to be nothing but a CDN that caches various Apple downloads (software, media..) locally and acts similarly to a transparent proxy. I wouldn't be horribly surprised if it was running Squid, but - like I said - I haven't looked at it.
So if we're now at the point that content caching is anathema, then we'd better all just unplug from our ISPs and start sneaker netting everything. Or something.
So we can't even be bothered to read the summary anymore? (to be fair, it's certainly possible the summary has been edited since you commented, but fixing a summary isn't very/.-ish)
Oh, they could have easily added more ports. They only omitted them to piss you, personally, off. Lots of engineering discussions and money were spent on that decision, but in the end it was well worth it.

Most likely as an excuse to toss in "she" to help enlighten the sausage-fest here...
Yes, yes, we all know you can draw lines with DirectX.
True enough: and still funny.
So, if these are comments as you claim, why can't I mod them? Oh... that's right. Because they're not comments.
There's no other reasonable mod for it. Either you're mocking arrogant jerks, which is funny, or you're one of those arrogant jerks and don't realize it, which is even funnier.
Editors don't tend to comment all that much.
Seems like the days of 1000-post articles on /. are well behind them.

Welcome to 1997, AC! How was the trip back?

Looks like I can deduce Fe73.9–Ga26.1 from one of the images attached to the abstract.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I have no idea why this isn't +5 funny. I truly despise /.'s antiquated moderation system.

After reading your ignorant prattling, we're all pretty clear now on what a penis is.

Because parent AC is horribly inexperienced or exceedingly sheltered and has no idea that there's more to CS than some web platforms and tools?

Forgot to add: I think you meant "your ilk's". Comes off sounding much more in line with the people you were trying to make fun of.
