I’ll bet there is - some of my friends call it “Leseschlaf” (reading sleep), which seems fitting.

It does if you’re a homophobe.

Potentially libraries could fill that spot (even though they aren’t places of business that 3rd places usually are. And even though a lot of libraries still have a long way to go before they can really be called friendly/save spaces by minorities).

It would also make a killer tattoo.

Does this work?

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

I was just thinking: Just give them the citizenship, then help them Muricans!

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.

Nice. Waiting for the Vita port!

Wow!

Do it! You have my support (which isn’t worth much, but hey!).

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…

love it!

You could even incorporate the (route through the) city in the story…

Thanks, I will be looking into this!

What nomous said. Mostly the depiction of Blacks, Arabs, Asians etc.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood - I thought there would be some journals employing that “review to submit” system you mentioned.

The old Asterix movies for me. The racism makes them hard to watch now that I’m grown up.

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.

Oh, could you share some links?

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.
