Pui şoarecilor câte’o maşină sub cur, la fiecare.
Atunci se duc afară din oraş, că se pot acuma, şi e linişte. Dup’aia’i dificil să mai intre, că locurile de parcare au început să coste.
Gică, cel cu cravată pe burta’i revărsată’ntr’un maieu negru cu găuri, şi păru’ pă spate, ‘ăl de le’a vândut maşinile, îi aşteaptă pe […]

Motive să fii religios:

frică (De ce, că te taie, încet, cu lama? Că’ţi putrezeşte pancreasu’? Că n’ai să faci copii, bani, casă? C’ai să’i faci? C’o să te bage la puşcărie? C’ai să mori?)

Good news: Hermes development is partially supported until June 2006 by MPI for Gravitational Physics.
A more radical version of Hermes is in the works, 0.9.4 was the last one developed within the ‘deadline’ mindset.

Just happy that other people too have deep concerns about the open-access issue: Fellows of The Royal Society reacted promptly, with an open letter.

TRS’s president answered […]

Although the XML examples are converted with a newer version of Hermes than 0.9.3, the source distribution of this newer version won’t be available for download until I get some (reliable promise of) funding explicitly for developing Hermes further (since October 2005), those who are in need can use alternative tools, like tex4ht, or continue […]
