@pettter @tomas Of course, the secret ingredient is time, of which I have very little. This is why I have yet to put my plan into action! -

@tomas @pettter I dunno. Plasma physics. Fusion. No, probably needs to be quite broad. How about just general physics. -

@tomas Exactly! I've though about starting my own open access journal. All you need is a webserver and a LaTeX template! -

@tomas Don't panic! No DRM on journals AFAIK. Just there's a parallel - in both cases publishers are profiting from someone else's work. -

Arguments against #DRM (e.g. http://v.ht/Zaa9) apply to #OpenAccess academic journal publications too @calligraffiti @therealpennyfortheguy -

@calligraffiti @therealpennyfortheguy Hear, hear! Don't buy DRM. I will try the other (legal) suggestions. -

Useless #Google & #Amazon ebooks! Can't read without their (proprietary) apps. Anyone know where I can buy #DRM free ebooks? Popular ones! -

@harmlessgryphon Yeah, I prefer the matte look too. Varnish would offer better protection but it's worth it for the matte finish. -

@harmlessgryphon Leave it matte. Why? -

@tomas Not really my area but I can say they are a potential contender, albeit much further behind than tokamaks due to design complexity. -

@tomas Linear devices used in plasma research. Unfavoured as fusion machines since C.1950s. Solution: closed magnetic field, e.g. tokamaks
