    Um people making critical comments on subject matter with which they have no background, yes I'd have a problem regardless of their position. Because they would be talking out of their asses.

    Perhaps they want to revisit the whole Earth is Flat versus Round debate. I think there is new evidence which casts doubt on those rounders.

    And Motorola being an international company operating in German markets under German laws can take Microsoft to court and sue for an injunction. If the United States does not want to respect German law, then the WTO can step in and slap heavy fines on the United States.

  9. Re:Eh? on US Judge Rules Against German Microsoft Injunction · · Score: 1

    No it is for a German court to decided whether or not Motorola's actions are proper. What the United States thinks is irrelevant. The WTO can decide whether or not US and German laws are at odds.

    Actually no that's not correct. Apple and Oracle are working together on it:

    "In November, Apple and Oracle announced that they would collaborate on a Mac-based incarnation of OpenJDK, an open source version of Java."

    Did you read the article?

    "...is the changing role of science in the United States. “In the past, the scientific community was viewed as concerned primarily with macro structural matters such as winning the space race,” Gauchat said. “Today, conservatives perceive the scientific community as more focused on regulatory matters such as stopping industry from producing too much carbon dioxide. Conservatives often oppose government regulation, and they increasingly perceive science as on the side of regulation, especially as scientific evidence is used more frequently in the work of government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and in public debates over issues such as climate change.”

    The problem is conservatives see Science is more focused on regulations and since conservatives oppose regulations - hello Koch brothers - they oppose science.

    It's that simple. When two are aligned towards the same goal, there is no opposition. When it's perceived that science is aligned against them, there is opposition.

    The problem is not with a the papers submitted. The problem is with the editorial board not taking time to peer review the articles and simply rubber stamping them for publication. Seems to me these journals wanted to jump on the sensationalism band wagon to get greater publicity.
