New book on attack on USS Liberty as a coordinated Isaeli/U.S. false flag.
Blood in The Water

What a bunch of ignorant, uneducated, & cowardly racists. Just like your low life ancestors rode around hidden behind white sheets you hide behind laptops, pc's, & smartphones because you're nothing but cowards.

Is your computer very new? On my 6 year old computer, the difference is huge. There really is no contest between Chrome and Firefox in the benchmarks… Upgrading to Chrome was like buying a new computer for me! I suppose on a new computer the difference is unnoticeable.

Sadly, the Nature article’s position is pretty representative of today’s over-competitive, prestige-minded culture in academic life science research. There are already too many PhDs and too few professorships. Force of ideas and quality of science is no longer used to judge scientists. Instead, the prestige in references lists has taken their place. While journal reputations are still good indicators quality (and applicability) of science, in this age of “sweat shop” research, connections and celebrity, concentrated at rich academic institutions, can increasingly get papers published in the “right” journals. Therefore, it is these non-science strengths that propel scientists’ careers; scientists who are under tremendous competitive pressure as their labor is commoditized.
In order to uphold their competitive edge, prestige-focused, closed-access journals such as Nature need to continue to prosper. Plos One and open access threatens to “flatten” life science research by rendering the hierarchy of journals, and even labs, pointless. When everyone can publish, and everyone can read, it’s the quality of science not citation that will drive the success of life scientists. Open access threatens to ruin the “good thing” many career researchers fought ruthlessly to get. My PhD from Stanford and post-doc with Prof Hot Shot who got me one Nature and two Cell papers need to still mean something after all.
Oh, and it disrupts Nature’s business model.
