Looks good. The only thing difficult in the bio/med community is actually gather some audience. Let's hope to get something, it would be a good resource.

Yes, you kill the internet by killing the freedom spirit of it. But these governments want to keep it alive and free for them and for their friends.

No, I think not. The populist governments are just trying to control it.
Re:Proposal: "{" and "}" to be known as openstache, closestache
on Thursday March 11, 2010 @11:39AM (#1184144)
Hardly bad, literal yes, almost. 'Chaves' (keys, braces, staches in the post's joke) really come from the mathematical term 'chaveta', a punctuation, symbol that serves as a opening and closure in mathematical terms, hence the term as a key and not as brace (what would be better translated as braçadeira).

In Portuguese they are called "keys", so you just use open-key and close-key, but I understand that that in English would be confusing.

Re:What programming languages do mathematicians use?
on Friday January 08, 2010 @11:22PM (#1041020)
I like MatLab, but for me (biologist) it's a very intricate language to learn, and AFAIK not easy to use in multiple platforms where you don't have the framework installed. And "expensive" too (as Mathematica).
