It was Michael Kuhn who pointed out to me over the holiday break that both Elsevier and Macmillan (parent company of Nature Publishing Group) were listed as supporters of the Stop Online Piracy Act. If you don't know about SOPA and why it is one of the most politically and legislatively incompetent actions of ... - Cameron Neylon

If you look at the publishers "supporting" SOPA through the Association of American Publishers it gets even more insane, a whole bunch of university presses and smaller societies that could be at real risk from this. http://publishers.org/members... I can't help but feel that a bunch of members telling the AAP to withdraw would be a good thing. - Cameron Neylon

I have created a G+ Page for the CDK... Chemistry Development Kit - Egon Willighagen

I use something similar to record/plot temperatures in one minute increments on the server in my garage. Want to make sure I know in advance when it wants to catch fire! - Orion Jankowski

+1 for taking names from Irish ;-) - Noel O'Boyle

"Twitter is a linguist's dream come true: it compiles millions of messages in hundreds of languages daily, making the question "Who speaks what languages where?" easy to answer. That is the question taken up by self-described "map geek" Eric Fischer. He has created a map of the world's languages used on Twitter by pulling together data collected by Google Chrome. (...) It’s as if someone took one of those composite satellite maps -- you know, impossibly showing the whole world at night, the darkness broken by hubs and strings of artificial light ... and gave it the power of speech." - Amira from Bookmarklet

Thanks! - Amira

That's interesting, isn't it. OB has a simple hash function also, so it looks like there is room for improvement. - Noel O'Boyle

Nice idea! I should do that too... - Egon Willighagen

Central thesis: "open access means that there will be more potentially harmful papers available to general public". We should get rid of the internet too, perhaps? - Noel O'Boyle

And finally, the biggest win of OA will be when the general public actually cares about open access to knowledge, not when scholarly communication will be open and still nobody cares. That will translate to _rational_ public discourse, because fact checking and hypothesis testing will be a normal mode of coming to conclusions on public issues. Indeed, there's a place for anecdotal evidence, but they serve as a starting points of coming to conclusions, not end points. - Pawel Szczesny

Control VMWare using Python - Noel O'Boyle

Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance - Geoffrey Hutchison

A colleague has just sent you a 500-record SD File containing structure-activity relationships (SAR) that youve never seen before. What are the first steps you take to begin to make sense of it?The approach a medicinal chemist would take might involve:opening...

Apparently uses the CDK... - Egon Willighagen

Good for smaller SAR analysis. Doesn't scale that well for larger collections due to the need for a pairwise similarity calculation. Could be speeded up by using approximate NN though - Rajarshi Guha
