Posted by (ノ ゜Д゜)ノ Well, maybe you should explain how this thread is terrible. Certainly, my assessment of the analogy given being faulty is correct. If you don't disagree with me on the points so far, then I don't see how you can view the thread as terrible. ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

Doctor diagnosed it as stress and the cat is now on an inexpensive generic TCA for the next weeks til he is better integrated into the household and in better health. Thanks to everyone who posted. ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

Posted by (ノ ゜Д゜)ノ Actually, it came out of my pocket, as I pay for everything involving my pets. But not much, I caught my cat up on his boosters while I was there (which he needed). Medication seems to be helping a lot in relieving the stress levels, so hopefully he can start getting back to normal. The highest cost was the vet visit at $45, but he needed to go anyway for a general check up (because he hadn't been in awhile). But now all of his vaccines are caught up and he's on medication that should help turn his condition back to normal. I'll be much happier when I'm convinced it's working 100%. ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

blackhole and I started talking about this on AIM, so I just thought I'd bring some rough points to the thread.
He stated academia is complicit. This is true. A great deal of academia can be blamed for propagating the paywall model. Certainly as he pointed out, CS, Physics, Mathematics are taking great strides in open journals that other fields really are struggling to catch up to. I noted that I would actually be more accepting of the paywall model if it was more reasonably priced, like $0.99 an article. And while that's not too steep to pay for someone in the first world, when you think about researchers who live in the third world, for example, in Nigeria, where most people get by on less than $5 a day, that's too expensive. For what it's worth, I've made a point to publish my papers where I am the first author or could make reasonable input in open journals. The only paper I am a coauthor on that isn't in an open journal, we made the PDF available on the senior author's personal/professional webpage. While this works to circumvent some of the access problem, it's a half measure. the whole idea of databases of articles is that they are 'permanently archived'. How permanently archived is a webpage managed by one person? When they die and their webspace is taken down because no one is paying to maintain it anymore, it's gone. Kaput. ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

It would be hard, because current freely accessible avenues of publishing are not well respected (with the exception of PLoS and its journals under it). Acta Palaeontologica Polonica has been a rising star (including preprints) though. I have high hopes for it to continue rising in prominence through the new year.

Posted by blackhole89 Those don't really exist. Biology workgroups do though and paleo research could easily piggyback onto that. 
So perhaps... ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

SWIM considered checking these out but couldn't find enough information on studies done so backed off, not really willing to risk being a guinea pig in SWIM's current state.
I feel glad SWIM didn't do that though if you aren't reporting any real differences while taking them. ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

Accidental self injury or death and injury or even death to others happen every day due to improper use of guns in the US. Why do people who own guns seem to have so much trouble keeping them safely? Or ... why do we permit people who seem to have a rather low IQ and irresponsible habits the right to bear arms? do we need more conditions and regulations around gun ownership? let's discuss. *sips coffee* ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

Posted by never-obsolete TF2 is free so it can't possibly hurt. A lot of my online friends grabbed TF2 after it came out as F2P and I actually played it a lot more often since there were more people online. ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

Posted by AnAxemRanger Amendments can be repealed or altered by subsequent amendments, so it's not like they are fixed forever. They can also be changed through judicial rulings that would alter their interpretation without having to legislatively alter the literal text. The other problem is that the second amendment's original intent seems to be designed around bearing arms as part of a militia unit to repeal foreign invaders and insurgencies, though recent Supreme Court decisions have extended it for the purpose of home defense. The type of guns that are universally agreed through the US by state and city ordinances are adequate for home defense but some states/cities permit the ownership of assault rifles which are a little extreme for a home invasion scenario. I agree that gun owners should basically need to take an extended mandatory training session and subsequent retrainings every year (perhaps 2-3x a year). I mentioned assault rifles but to be fair... most accidental shootings seem to occur with handguns while an individual is 'cleaning' the weapon and the firearm discharges....so perhaps these individuals would have benefited from remedial training... ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

Posted by MikeFuryXPPosted by Xeruss I don't get this statement about nothing being permanent. It is very possible to have a drug interaction that could lead to permanent neurological damage... ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |
