As a side project I built TwitterAudit (which is under a lot of load right now and runs on a 512mb VPS:) to estimate how many followers are real vs how many are fake. It looks at a sample of 5000 followers and about 5 criteria to guess whether a given user is real or fake... check it out!
Labmeeting.com is a relatively new site (compared to Citeulike) for life-science researchers. You can upload all your PDFs and it will automatically determine the associated Pubmed records. You can add papers to multiple folders and it supports fulltext searching (assuming you have uploaded a PDF). It is free for academic users.
You can also read your PDFs from anywhere (through Scribd, embedded into the site).
I think there are a few websites geared towards solving problems with scientific publications (specifically in the life sciences). I think Labmeeting (labmeeting.com) is one of the earliest websites in this field and already has some good functionality for researchers.
As a researcher myself, I know that one of the biggest problems is getting scientists to use new tools. Hopefully, when the right tools comes along we will see some big changes in scientific research methods...
good point,
i completely agree with the responses to this thread. how an easy installer makes a lot easier, however if other groups try to copy ximian's model, and don't do a good job, then big fussy problems will happen... things will be happening beyond your control, and you won't be happy. so I think if you're going to make an easy installer, do it solid, and do it right!:) -david
man, if you haven't heard Terry Riley's "A rainbow in curved air" or "in C" , you haven't heard the roots of electronic music!:)
those are truly amazing pieces.

the reason it was so quick, was that they had probably included these crypto-features in their new upcoming os release(s)... they could have just done a diff...
but who knows? maybe they are quick!

I would think that if you dont want to get some modified trojan package, that there would be some authentication or 1 way hash matching...
it would have to be integrated into the package itself... i would think

You can also import/export citations from/to a bunch of formats (BibTex/RIS/Endnote).
There are a whole bunch of other interesting features on Labmeeting that I didn't mention here, so just check it out.

Dr. Wallace,
How much time do you estimate we have until Alice

some of us actually want to know what our operating system is doing to our computers... as surprising as it may seem.
