i might have misread this:) "NIH/ NSF sponsored research published since 2008 is available on Pubmed for free 12 months after it is first published."
i took as it being available for free for 12 months, and then gone. although i have to wonder why publicly financed research is still paywalled for a year then
that's not really true - germans are very sensitive about ww2 topics and lots of other things. also, i mentioned "patriotic beyond reason", which includes supporting anything wicked being done... including that nsa stuff;)
most americans seem to be patriotic beyond reason. this might be caused by being taught from early on that they are morally, military and in any other way superior to any other country. later they keep those views and will defend _anything_ being done. it might be by weird reasoning, "they do it too" or other methods.
it might help in some cases, but looks like long term it leads to an inability to criticise real problems and a decline.
exactly:) while it would not provide full confidence (nothing ever can, reflections on trusting trust), fully opensourcing all code that runs on their hardware would be the only way to inspire trusting them. current initiative is kinda aimed at some governments (and maybe large companies), but the barrier to entry is insanely high (individual researchers or any random person can't participate)
Someone really needs to explain the appeal of Kubuntu and KDE to me. I just don't get it. It's so *busy*: everything is huge with glowing drop shadows and spinning cursors and animations everywhere.
hmm. i stare at the animations a couple of days after my first install, then disable them all:)
It's also the only desktop environment I've ever sat down at that I couldn't just use immediately - I tried "creating an activity" and was left with a completely blank desktop, not even any panels or anything. There may have been keyboard shortcuts to get out of that situation, but I didn't know them and shouldn't have had to.
i'll admit that as a kde user since kde 2 (and it being my primary platform since kde 3.0), i do not use activities. i kinda understand the concept, but don't fully embrace it. the great thing is that i don't have to use them;)
why complicate that much ? stop patching your systems. "reasonable cause to suggest that said fix was only recently installed" - well, revenue stream was removed so we had to find some other job:)
-- "yes, we did file a report" -- "we had a firewall and we patched all the software we use for security vulnerabilities. there was this one we only found out about two days later and patched it immediately"
leaving the door open is easier than locking the whole infrastructure.
really ? a death ? at a traffic light ? so what of they had accidentally stopped the engine ? you make it sound like missing the green light caused the accident, when actually it was somebody absolutely missing a stationary vehicle in front of them.
i am using both a bit, although i'm using mysql more. if you are unimpressed with mysql, why do you have to troll every story about it ? surely you can discuss pg in the articles about pg... current behaviour makes pg advocates look bad (especially as most comments here are by anonymous cowards)
Slashdot Mirror
wow. this is a new low. a dupe while first one is still on the first page. maybe it's time do downscale to weed and alcohol.
wouldn't 'rival labs' get access to those journals anyway, if they are ready to spend more ?

so everybody should be able to parse pubmed, download any new articles, archive and serve them for free ?
or would you get oritzed ?

i met digia guys in tallinn last year at akademy (kde conference), they gave me a free t-shirt. seemed nice =)

i literary spat on the keyboard. well done, fairly fucked up mental image :)
this got me somewhat interested, and i checked out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_birth_weight
it does mention smoking, lead and other reasons, but does not mention genetics much.

that would be hard, right ? :)
leave unpatched software here, root password in bash history there...
now that's messed up. although the source code could always be "stolen"...
um, they link to their github account from about -> resources page :
https://github.com/bikeindex
sure. although akamai can take the hit of 56 js files pretty good, i guess :)
supposedly, it's behind akamai :

of course not. most places in europe will have 0.5l as the "standard" size, british (and themed pubs elsewhere) will use pint. well, one of them :)

no, the real joke is that any story about mysql on slashdot gets 3 times more comments about postgresql :)
it's fairly annoying, i must admit
and of course, a mandatory reading for everybody who wants to participate in discussions about this is printcrime - http://craphound.com/overclocked/Cory_Doctorow_-_Overclocked_-_Printcrime.html
and gp probably meant that needing that paper is even much more shallow...
i could just write 'wooosh', but instead...
