  10. Re:Please stop. on The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps some should read "What's the Matter with Kansas?" which looks into the reasons that the midwest is so conservative. Yes, faith has a lot to do with it, but there also is a rebellion against those ('snobs on the coasts') who dismiss them as uneducated, ignorant bible thumpers.

    Actually the GC has an external power supply and doesn't have the block at the plug. They just moved the block down the line a little.

    Maybe (hopefully) Sony took a clue from that.

    There are also some other excellent choices. Hotmail comes to mind.

    Hopefully my sarcasm isn't lost on anyone.

  17. Publishing on Congress Pushing Open Access for Government-Funded Research · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Here's what it takes to publish:

    1: Receive manuscripts from authors in ascii, word, pdf, wordperfect, basically any format ever created.
    2: Copyedit those manuscripts to match the style of the journal so they don't look like crap.
    3: Prepare graphics so they don't look like crap.
    4: Turn those manuscripts into usable source (SGML or XML or other) and then format onto the page.
    5: Proofread.
    6: Mail proofs to editor.
    7: Revise proofs per editor instructions. x1 x2 x3 (til its right)
    7: Print the book. Ship the book.
    8: Create PDF's.
    9: Prepare SGML to go online.
    10: Convert figures so that they are no longer 5 megs a piece.
    11: Put online on secure servers.
    12: Maintain servers indefinately.

    Eliminate all those steps and we could probably have free access.
