I want it like it was back in the early days of the c64 demoscene. Too much formality/expense is a bad thing. Personally, I also think it needs to happen where a strong social system is in place, so that unemployed people can dedicate all of their time to it.
Becoming too formal/organized/expensive is something that I don't want to see:(
...the freakin' Italians... bought them and ditched them, because they were found to be worthless (in terms of security value).
Cue circus sounds...
Show "typical nuclear American" family participating in security theater...
Exit left with a loud sucking sound... zoom out slightly to show two chins and a 48oz cola... and a "man, I feel much better after getting my shoes back on after going through security."
Local elections are where you should be voting third-party. Why the apathy? Without local support, why would you expect anything to happen at the national level?
IMHO, every citizen has the responsibility to become educated about the choices and vote. I apologize as that's what I should have said at the beginning. It ensures that the you're doing your (minimal) part to keep the process running correctly.
What is this, the 1600s again, every citizen (within reason) has a RIGHT to vote, it's not a PRIVILEGE reserved for those not disenchanted/disenfranchised. People have the RIGHT to vote based on nothing of substance. Personally, I think every citizen has a RESPONSIBILITY to vote.
Voting gives people a chance to feel that they have the power to make a difference in who makes decisions... and that makes all the difference because it holds the elected accountable. Low voter turnout suggests to the elected that they need only cater to a smaller portion of their constituents to be re-elected. Low voter turnout, and having an outdated two-party system with a similarly outdated electoral college, has caused a lot of problems with the policy of the US government. For example, having a few Pirate Party members in Senate/House would prevent a lot of the "copyright-based" complaints on./
because it's usually associated with disenchantment, indifference or contentment. None of which is good. Also, a high turnout is generally perceived (globally) as an estimate legitimacy of the current voting system... unless it's mandatory of course.
As fellow European, I think you need to really think about your statement: "we recycle most of our waste." What really constitutes recycling of an electronic product? My guess is that it goes to a European "recycling firm" and gets exported to a Chinese/Indian "recycling firm", which then sends it to a Chinese/Indian village for possible gold/silver extraction and minimal labor cost. The remainder of the product just lies in a pile in the village... or is buried in the village. I'm sure that it makes you/us feel all shiny inside to say you/we "recycle" something but the only difference is where the wasted end product ends up.
Also, I lived in Stockholm until 2010 and was still using Bang & Olufsen BeoVision CRT every day because the picture was hard to beat:D
My argument is that you never really had the "rights" in the first place. Try to patent something (in the US) while working at a university on an NIH-funded project and let me know how it goes.
Die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (The German Research Foundation) requires that this is addressed during proposal submission.
2.4 Data handling
Improving the handling of research data is a priority both for national and international research organisations and for science in general. In order to enhance the long-term preservation of research data, the DFG funds projects that seek to achieve an efficient and sustained use of research data.
If research data will be systematically produced using DFG project funds, describe what measures will be implemented to ensure their management, curation and long-term preservation for future reuse. Please regard existing standards and data reposito-ries in your discipline where appropriate.
Technically, you're most likely using the taxpayers' money to conduct the research in the first place, so I find your argument that the publisher still gets exclusive rights to your work, hard to grasp.
You've already been hired/paid to complete a project and by accepting the funding, you usually agree to give most of the rights away already (not all rights, most are negotiable, and are usually already negotiated between the Grants Management Office at your institute/university/center/etc... and the NIH/NSF/BBRC/ERC/etc... before the money is even distributed.)
i actually meant the comment as an author. however, it's also much easier as a reader as well. if i'm not connected to the uni, it's really nice to have the open access option.
If he caves in to a nagging kid, that only reinforces the habit. That alone is a serious issue. I have two children you imbecile (5 and 2) and they've never eaten at McDonalds and I'd be quite surprised if they didn't travel MORE than the children in the original post (at least 6 weeks per year).
Where did I say that he deserved to be assaulted? I questioned his decision making process, which is my prerogative as the person involved in the incident presented only one side/story/perspective to the public.
Have you ever considered brushing up on your reading comprehension skillset?
time differences... you may have heard of them? most travelers don't change their sleeping habits when it's only 6 hours forward (3am in Paris = 9p ET)

...that's what the children will have, for better or worse.
wikipedia does quite nicely replace either outdated/beat-up textbooks or overcomes a text book shortage.
even if the teachers are not replaced, those who can and want to learn, can do so with the tablets :D
I'm just doing my part, as should you ... any monitoring system will fail when the "signal" is not perceivable above the background.
The correct thing to do is to "flood the system" with false-positives.
for all of the NSA bots compiling all of the text associated with my username.
... are abundant resulting in significant competition.
A floor price on these plans of roughly 100 USD/month for 2-years is ridiculous.
Got it. My bad. Won't let it happen again.

for one, I can't tell if all comments are the same AC ... if you want to establish a discoruse, sign-in.
that's how I treat people who don't stand behind their comments (i.e. AC)

thing because voter turnout tends to hover at around only 50% :(

facilitate the process like they do with the NIH requirements. It's so much easier than dealing with a journal that does rather than one that doesn't.

Have you ever had frog legs ... I did last week (in Frankfurt) and they're quite pleasant on a warm day with the proper apéritif.
