MathPump turns Inkscape into remote whiteboard. (But requires knowledge of Linux to setup the server.)

First, I am afraid that, being so big and advanced, it would be hard to fork if needed. This means that the init process will always be under control of a single corporation (Red Hat). Moreover, it absorbs other necessary components such as udev. This seems very dangerous. Second, it could be bad for minorities. Some people may have special needs with the init process. A bunch of shell scripts should be possible to alter and customize. But how do you customize the systemd?

I think ``ironic science'' is a useful concept. However, this particular article is a bit strange. The title has ``Science running out...'' but in the body of the article he almost solely talks about physics. How about molecular biology? No hope for great discoveries? And pure mathematics? Maybe, he does not think mathematics is a science...
As for physics, it does indeed appear to be in crisis. It seems that physics is running out of fundamental problems which can be approached within its traditional methodology. But at the same time, this methodology is extremely valuable. Perhaps the right solution is to go towards becoming a ``multidisciplinary environment''. That is, to inject the methodology of physics into other fields of science. For example, many ideas of modern mathematics were inspired by string theory. This is a manifestation of the usefulness of the physicist's way of thinking.
It would be a pity if physics dies, or even worse goes into that undead state which Horgan calls ``ironic science''.

nobody in the government here would want such a major embarassment

LaTeX to bystroTeX should be easy, although I do not yet have a working converter. BystroTeX produces HTML. The syntax of bystroTeX is Racket Scribble, it is very similar to LaTeX so writing a converter should be more or less straightforward.

If I were a dentist, I would clone myself from a tooth

Because of the insane import tax, personal computers are very expensive in Brazil. Maybe this project would help people who cannot afford buying a computer.

Would you prefer Perduino or Pidorino?

Idolatry is a manifestation of laziness. We believe that Einstein had some special brain, as an excuse for not exercising ours. A person has extraordinary achievements. The easiest thing for others, is to proclaim him/her a ``genius'' and take it easy.

I written wmjump some time ago, for switching between workspaces and applications. Here it is: http://code.google.com/p/wmjump/ This uses ``hints'' similar to Vimperator's. If I had more time, I would maintain it more often. But it works, more or less, on all window managers which support EWMH. I use it myself (with xmonad), and I still think that this is the best format for switching windows.

I tried to use wave, but never figured out how to use their whiteboard. Now I don't remember what was the problem. They did have a whiteboard, but for some reason it was not usable.

Actually, a large part of the classical music is religious. Which could be considered a form of social control

That's why US should adopt 5-year plans, at least in academia. Then we might be able to catch up. Seriously, every US university should just increase the volume of their scientific publications, say, 10 percent every year, starting this year.

I think this is only true in a 2-body problem
