They still exist, but almost all research first gets published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings. This is different than conferences in most areas, which are venues for work in progress; only completed work shows up in CS conferences [in most areas]. Journals more or less exist for longer treatments of work already covered in conference proceedings.<BR/><BR/>Also, pretty much every researcher in CS makes their papers available online for free.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12249467948491584815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-51611393237020774382008-12-18T14:38:00.000-08:002008-12-18T14:38:00.000-08:00why should the rest of us bail you out?How about: ...<I>why should the rest of us bail you out?</I><BR/><BR/>How about: because you're paying for it anyway?Neil Sinhababuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249327186653397250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-4795463309472749362008-12-18T14:36:00.000-08:002008-12-18T14:36:00.000-08:00I'd say, save yourselves.

I'd think that, in this day and age, a dialogue that operates at the speed of quarterly journals (submit article, wait two months before it's accepted, wait another few months before it appears, wait 3-6 months for other luminaries in the field to respond) is one where everyone concerned will get bored and wander away before the clash of ideas ever gets interesting.<BR/><BR/>If you guys can't move <I>en masse</I> to something better, why should the rest of us bail you out? Besides, few people other than the philosophers will set even a mild priority on rescuing the philosophers from their own problems.low-tech cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289554457923640296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-58923285237707485762008-12-18T13:34:00.000-08:002008-12-18T13:34:00.000-08:00Cool, I'll put them up soon.

The second - the big one in Phil Review which is coming out next year - is about the role of desire in explaining how we feel as we make decisions. It's not as fun, but I think intelligent laypeople could understand most of it.<BR/><BR/>For those of you who don't get it, Corvus is making up meanings for the fake words in the capcha checks.Neil Sinhababuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249327186653397250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-11389187925547205582008-12-18T13:28:00.000-08:002008-12-18T13:28:00.000-08:00I think it would be fun to read to published philo...I think it would be fun to read to published philosophical musings of someone I have corresponded with on the internet...<BR/><BR/>...banat: a form of Central American dance, heavily reliant on the wrists, with some precedence from native French forms.corvushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130864309857352151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-26661447161538232092008-12-18T12:57:00.000-08:002008-12-18T12:57:00.000-08:00I've seen some people do that, Dennis.
