,----[ Quote ]
| What's particularly noteworthy is the fact that open source sensing is seen
| as a way of offering security while dealing with various threats to privacy
| and freedom that sensor technologies obviously present. Openness may help

Another Reason We Need Open Access
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the more laughable reasons that traditional science publishers cite in
| their attempts to rubbish open access is that it's somehow not so rigorous
| as "their" kind of publishing. There's usually a hint that standards might be
| dropped, and that open access journals aren't, well, you know, quite proper.
