"Liking" because it's always good to add another search interface to my little collection. Haven't tried it out yet though. - Bill Hooker

Wow. I was taken aback from watching this. This is a perfect example of why FOX News has such a bad brand name. I love the way she keeps saying "Trust Me" in the open, and "America's News Room" in the end. - Andrew Baron via Bookmarklet

Fox is an amazing news network, catering to 5% of the population. - Mike Reynolds

Nothing seems to amaze me coming from Fox News. I've seen worse... - Ricardo Vidal

The objective of this Forum is to extend and develop the discussion that took place at this closed workshop, which is summarised in the Nature Commentary A Network Solution, by inviting opinion and comments from the broader research community. The information gathered here will contribute to the publication of a series of concrete proposals to be presented in a more detailed White Paper, where specific contributions from this Forum will be acknowledged. It is hoped that sharing these views openly here will provide a focus for this complex debate, and help to generate a consensus on the topics that have been raised. - Maxine via Bookmarklet

Best simple and understandable explanation of the financial collapse I have seen so far. - Sally Church

Go for it! lol - Ricardo Vidal via Bookmarklet

MySQL is easy to learn, widely-used and "just works" for many tasks. As the writer says, there's a barrier to switching from what you're used to, unless there's a compelling reason. Perhaps the main problem with MySQL is that because the basics are easy to learn, many people don't go beyond the basics - which is required to improve performance. - Neil Saunders

I also happened to stumble across that wikivs.com page and noticed the table showing Postgres to be sooooo much better. But hey, MS Word 2007 is probably sooooo much better than Word 95, but the core features that nearly EVERYONE uses, are still the same. - Ricardo Vidal

I find MySQL admin pretty easy and postgres admin pretty hard, just in terms of how the syntax looks to a new user. But have barely used postgres, so can't really give a fair opinion. - Neil Saunders

Awesome! - Ricardo Vidal via Bookmarklet

Great Shot! - Michael Fidler via twhirl

prepare to fall to the poverty line - Paulo Nuin

Yeah, I'd noticed that too. Rather cool. - Ricardo Vidal

Is this website part of the liquidpub project? Little confused about what the context of the paper is? - Cameron Neylon

"Interdisciplines" is a "virtual online conference" which has one session centered around Scientific Publications 3.0. This paper is one of the papers discussed in that context but as far as I know, it doesn't stem from Liquidpub. Rather, the people behind Interdisciplines are also behind LiquidPub... - Enro

Damn, Shey...on a roll... - JA Castillo

The scissor lips in the first frame make him look not cold but like he is a dough boy paper shredder. - Pete Delucchi

Very funny! - Kol Tregaskes
