Or, if you're feeling philosophical, here's something completely
different: http://www.godchannel.com

Yeah, I know. Even went through the calculations with calories vs
calories, if you get my drift., just to show what rubbish we're making
in terms of computing equipment.

Anyways, there seems never to be enough sandwiches to go around, and
when there are, they only really taste good hurtling along the highway
in three tons of candy-apple red kibble.

Hi Phil,

On the other hand, academic and other research folks are stuck on this
treadmill--it doesn't matter how good your work is, if someone's done it
before, you're a schmuck.

Personally I think some of the problem is that there's too much emphasis on
"new" work (granted, that's what PhDs are supposed to do, but still) rather
than fine-tuning/collecting/merging known results into clearer, more general &
powerful techniques. There is plenty of utility in having Yet Another Review
article come up year 20 years or so, and it would do the average reader a lot
more good than some journal article where a guy thinks he's uncovered
something truly new and is documenting somewhat preliminary results in a
Journal paper.
