As it stands, they don't get paid when you pay for reading it anyways. They themselves pay to publish it to a journal, the journal then sells it to you.

The scientists aren't paid by people reading their science, they are paid by grants, for doing the science in the first place.

I wholeheartedly support academic "piracy", it only hurts the gatekeepers.

They can't reach agreement on how many days there are in a week, and everybody is calling everybody else fucking retards while doing it.

if you think you know what they're testing for, you've been lied to.

The ports should be grounded through the motherboard. The case should be grounded through contact with the PSU.

I've heard arguments it does some EMI shielding, which is probably technically correct, but with so many cases on the market having huge glass/clear plastic panels in their sides, leaving large gaping EMI holes, that doesn't seem to matter much.

that one is merely cosmetic tho, no biggie.
