Submission + - Algebra In Wonderland (nytimes.com)

riboch writes: The NY Times ran an op-ed piece about the mixture of "New Maths" to Charles Dodgson's (pen name Lewis Carroll) "Alice in Wonderland." An interesting article discussing the parody of the new strange mathematics and a new take on the book. Although topical only because of Tim Burton's new release, it is an interesting read.

My degrees are not in paleontology, but let me educate you on how this works:

Undergraduate student/intern finds/makes something, gives to professor. Professor is collaborating with professor at another university. Professor at another university gives a graduate student some work. The student does all the leg work, finds an anomaly, reports to his professor who reports back to original professor. Because of an arrangement, the place of origin of the specimen is given publication priority.

Chances are the lead author is the highest in the food chain.

Net Users In Belarus May Soon Have To Register 89

Cwix writes "A new law proposed in Belarus would require all net users and online publications to register with the state: 'Belarus' authoritarian leader is promising to toughen regulation of the Internet and its users in an apparent effort to exert control over the last fully free medium in the former Soviet state. He told journalists that a new Internet bill, proposed Tuesday, would require the registration and identification of all online publications and of each Web user, including visitors to Internet cafes. Web service providers would have to report this information to police, courts, and special services.'"
