... With your attitude we'd never have wheelchairs or crutches or surgery, all things which, the first time out, could have resulted in injury but have been life changing tech for millions.

Wheelchairs still kill people (or they did, until at least 1987). They are nonetheless life-changing and undenyably a good thing
Who pays to publish scientific studies is an interesting aside to the real question:
Who decides what gets published in the first place?
For example, if a tobacco company commisions a study that shows that smoking is harmful, they are under no obligation to make that research public, at all.
In order that governments (and individuals) can make an informed choice, they must have all the data available to base their decision on.
The only way to achieve this is that research is registered before it is carried out, and only allowed to proceed if the results will be published, regardless of the 'success' or 'failure' of the research.
Access to data generated by the pay of multi-national corporations is irrelevant if you can only read the bits that suit the manifesto.
Shouldn't that be duct tape? Or do you keep ducks taped up in your garage?
And why do you need more than one can of WD40? Even if you have two, in case the first gets siezed up, unless they're really big cans, they don't take up that much room. Unless you need a third, in case the second gets jammed, too...
Ok, troll, here goes:
pseudo-cop/ he look's like a terrist
you/ what?
pseudo-cop/ grab em
you/ eh? but...
pseudo-cop/ yer a terrist
you/ but...
psuedo-cop/ yer comin' with me
you/ you must be mistaken?
psuedo-cop/ we know who you called
you/ wha...
pseudo-cop/ shaddup, punk
Why does pseudo-cop NOT pick you? Because you aren't a terrorist? Because you don't look like a terrorist? What does a terrorist look like?
Finally, cell phones (on the whole) don't use 'voice packets' (especially where you live) as most cell-phones don't use GPRS. Most of us in Europe are still on GSM.

Most citizen review boards are rubber stamps for the police leadership, exonerating police brutality and OKing police shootings.

Thanks for the reminder.

How pertinent.

Not only is optical interferometry possible in principle, it is possible with todays technology.

If you you don't go 'Wow' at everything you see around you, there is something wrong with you. The world is full of mystery
Anything that makes people say 'Oh! So that's how it works!', or 'Wow! Thats a lot of stuff!' is a Good Thing (tm).
But it is sad that people need to be reminded.

This map was published as a special pull-out in New Scientist, just before Christmas last year. Very cool.
