So Kirk Douglas passed away yesterday at the impressive age of 103.
Can't say it was unexpected, but sad nevertheless. There's no end to all the great movies he has given us.
Rest in peace, Issur Danielovitch Demsky! 
What's your favourite Kirk Douglas movie? Mine is 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

I remember seeing "20.000 Leagues under the Sea" in a cinema in Gent when I was about 8 years old, it left quite an impression.

Yup. That's a good one! I agree! 
Think about it: He was a senior citizen already in 1986!

Sorry for the tag, my hand slipped on the mouse. Is there a way remove a tag?

Indeed, I have worked in genetics and medical data analysis and it certainly gave me a more realistic sense of what happens when science is commerialised.
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
― Christopher Hitchens

As opposed to non-commercialized science (or other fields), where people get grants (usually paid by taxes) to play instead of doing useful things?
|

I'd prefer non-commercialized science funded by grants than those funded by companies who include clauses the bury any results they don't like. If we in the US did something similar to Australia where Government (i.e. tax) funded grants are licensed and used for more research. Instead of being used by private companies to earn obscene gobs of money, especially NIH funded ones for new medicines. Yes I'm straying dangerously close to old soapbox territory but my issues is with how the system allows the companies to exploit our tax dollars for their profit.
Plus unless you think outside the box how else will you think of new, novel ideas and approaches to solving problems? If you follow the same path as everyone else you will get the same answer as everyone else. I'm choosing to ignore some of the more off the wall projects out there although the recent study about dealing with shaken beer cans[^] was quite informative. Thank you Denmark!
