  • Does this work?

    Don't tell me there's only one way to find out - my wife would kill me (justifiably so, I guess).

  • We used to share our tunes with a simple Y-cable.

    Anyone have a tip for me on how to connect two Bluetooth headphones to one device? I've tried on Android (Samsung) and an iPad with no luck... I'm back to the good old Y-cable I've used since the Walkman days.

  • I must admit what I wrote was simplified.

    If you take into account that a lot of research grants are financed by tax money though...

  • The evil droid design of Black Hole and the 1981 Star Wars comic #47 were very similar. I don't know why I'm telling you this.

  • It's happening in Germany as well. Universities are banding together to negotiate better deals with publishers - some subscriptions haven't been renewed when the publishers weren't forthcoming. It's not a solution (that would be the wide establishment of independent, self organized/hosted Open Access journals - using Open Journal Systems for example) but it's a start.

  • Don't forget the university libraries. Yup, researchers are paid by the university, those researchers pay the publishers to place their articles, the peer reviewers are also paid by the university. And then the university has to shell out money to the publishers, so the articles can be accessed.
