[image] "If you’re not on Twitter yet, then you might think it’s just a place for people to talk about what they had for dinner. Although there’s plenty of that going around on there, Twitter can also be a great tool for networking with other photographers and expanding your knowledge." - Mel Buckpitt

[image] ". Suddenly, instead of plain ordinary citizens entitled to sing "Poops, I did it again" or tape Brad Pitt's face in a toilet bowl onto a postcard to a friend, we are all professional artists required to Create Art from Scratch. Because we are no longer just having a conversation, in which we quote from everything we have seen and heard without any thought of Creation and Originality. Your piddling little blog is a Publishing Enterprise held to the same legal standards as Time Warner Inc, except that you do not have the funds to pay for any borrowings. You have been muzzled. This is why people are angry. Their normal modes of expression have been turned into a crime. They know they are only safe from prosecution because they are small fry - unless someone decides to make an example of you. " - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

[image] We challenge the need for formatting an article before acceptance. The assessment of the scientific value of a paper doesn't require meticulous formatting. Editors should be satisfied with a readable, generic submission. Authors would format the article after acceptance. This is a simple way to save time and unnecessary effort: We call upon journal editors and publishers to take action. - Neil Saunders

[image] It's easy to say that "looking pretty" isn't important, but good presentation is a part of readability. "Looking terrible" can impair readability and scannability. Stephen Curry has a nice post on NN about problems with poorly formatted supplementary information http://bit.ly/EyZTm that is relevant here. - Frank Norman

I added "My Pictures" (which only has maybe 5000 files, not my main repository), and connected another machine to it. Nothing at all happened. When I made a new folder, I think that replicated (?), but when I created a subfolder or file inside that, it didn't work. Some stuff showed up in the log, but not on the other side.
