Working for someone who doesn't

understand that people can have different opinions about stuff is going to be a bigger problem in the long run.

There seems to be a general view

here that the journals do not contribute anything and are just extracting profit for doing nothing. While not to defend Elsevier, and their generally high prices and low standards this is to understimate the work that DOES go into them from the publishing industry.

They ARE edited and copy-edited - and this can be quite extensive, especially in the case of non-native english speakers. Not all journals are primary research only. Reviews journals activley comission content, and can play a part in trying to focus debate etc. Conversly, editors reject papers with no merit before someone has to go the trouble of peer reviewing it. Peer reviewing requires a more input from those organising it than an outline of the process would suggest.

Whatever model you use, these things need to be done. Who by and where in the process is another question.

How are questions on religious views intrusive?

Rather than striving for a notion of privacy that doesn't exist anymore we should be promoting accuracy and equality of access to data.

If you are runnig for any length of time

you probably already have your phone with you so just use an app on that. Runkeeper works on Android and iOS and does everything I need it to.

VAT

There isn't going to be a 20% increase in VAT. It's increasing TO 20%.

Just to say

I've got an android phone and haven't had any of these problems.

On the one occasion

when I have been required to provide a sample there was no stimulating material of any type provided. UCH cost efficiency there.

If you don't want to use it

don't use it.

Well

As far as I'm concerned the function of Sky and Virgin is to apply pressure to the BBC to innovate and improve. I certainly don't want them to get to anything like an equal footing.

Why would you

doubt that Steve Jobs was lying? Is he somehow more honest than other CEOs?
