FCC Approves 802.11b Phased Array

Who Owns Science?

Do you need help?X

    immerrath writes "The New York Times has an [0]article [Sorry,     tomorrow's article, no Google link yet] on a movement that is rapidly     gaining support in the scientific community: the [1]Public Library of     Science(PLoS). The founders, [2]Nobel Laureate [3]Harold Varmus,     Stanford biologist [4]Pat Brown and Berkeley Lab scientist [5]Michael     Eisen, argue that scientific literature cannot be privately controlled     or owned by the publishers of scientific journals, and must instead be     available in public archives freely accessible by anyone and everyone.     This has very important implications for the fundamental principle that     Science must transcend all economic, national and other barriers. For a     while now, PLoS has been trying to get scientific journals to release     the rights to scientific papers; many major [6]journals have not     complied -- in response, PLoS is starting PLoS-standard-compliant
[7]journals (for which they received a $9 million grant from the
[8]Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation), to demonstrate the validity of
    the idea and persuade academic publishers to adopt the free access     model. They even have a GPL-like open access [9]Licence, and their     journals have some very prominent scientists on the [10]editorial     board. Here is the text of an earlier [11]Newsweek article about PLoS,     and here is a Nature [12]Public Debate explaining the issues. Michael     Eisen received the 2002 [13]Benjamin Franklin award for his work on     PLoS. Don't forget to sign the [14]PLoS open letter!" Links

Whither America's Technological Edge?

[0]baldass_newbie asks: "Ben Stein wrote an editorial titled, '[1]How
    to Ruin American Enterprise'. To me, technological innovation is a big     outward sign of a successful economy. Sometimes it appears like the     U.S. is losing its edge in technology. Well, I was wondering what the     Slashdot community at large thinks is wrong (or right) with the U.S.     and technological innovation?" The article deals less with technology     and more with the society on which said innovation is based, and the     problems that may bring it down around our collective ears. Give the     article a read, and share your thoughts on whether or not you think     it's an accurate assessment on the current and future situation of     America's technological advantage.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/106837/
