I found the book "In the Belly of the Beast" very enlightening on solitary confinement.
One impression one gets from it is that given sufficient time in prison, many initially sane people may end up suffering from mental illness. At which point they become all the more "eligible" to solitary confinement.
I believe you meant to say "At what pint does the brawl start?"
Doesn't matter, it's pronounced the same in Ireland.
"Siri...write a program to do X."
Did you mean: "Sbaitso...write a program to do X."
Really? I have a choice of 278 different electric plans with over 40 different electric providers.
I've got approximately 277 fewer choices than that, and that's the way my utility likes it.
Too bad for you that you live in one of those socialist countries with no sense of how free markets work.
he was basically just going about his job, doing the right thing, but forgot they weren't HIS computers.
Isn't that the most unprofessional thing a sysadmin can do? Doesn't everyone in the business know that that is precisely the behavior that gets you in trouble?
Yup. You could rephrase the conclusion as: "there are an awful lot of crappy open access journals out there". It doesn't say anything about a difference in that respect between OA and non-OA journals.
Good point. And it wouldn't even have cost money, because for the journals I know of, you don't pay anything until the paper is accepted.
Except those paid journals have also had serious hoaxes foisted on them. You have to go to really really really really big journals like science or nature before there's enough credibility to protect against fraud.
Actually, no journal is fully immune, no matter how prestigious. Worse than that, top-notch journals like Science and Nature require sensational stories, which makes them more likely to publish skillfully hyped-up reports than honest ones that acknowledge their own limitations. The best science is often found in mid-range journals that accept longish and seemingly boring manuscripts, with nothing swept under the rug.
Thank you for setting this straight. I wish I had mod points...
Wait, if you don't care people adopt it on the desktop, why do you even care that Ubuntu exists? In what way does its existence harm your Linux experience?
It harms my Linux experience because nowadays some software developers support Ubuntu and then claim they support Linux.
I, for one, hope that the US is spying on Israel and that the information gathered has prevented them from pulling us into a war with Iran.
Interesting point, but don't you think there are ways to achieve that without spying on Israel? Intelligence on Iran, added to shared knowledge with Israel, should be enough. Really, one could figure out that it would be silly to go to war with Iran, based on publicly available information alone.
What do you think tells us more about the Tea Party: this (rather short and generic) party platform, or the everyday discourse and actions of party members in the political life of the country?
I know a lot of political parties, in several countries, who can put forward a lovely one-page platform that I largely subscribe to. It doesn't mean I actually support any of those parties.
You comment is indeed a flamebait.
On the other hand, I just love your username, it's a fairly uncommon reference that's always nice to see mentioned.
You did a fair amount of C? Just refresh your knowledge of C, and you'll be back to business in a few days.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
