- Recently I had a conversation with my friend in computer science about
- the research ethics. There has been some "stories" about some famous
- researchers who will sometimes "steal" other's problems and solve it.
- i.e, without even mentioning where they have heard about it or with
- whom they have talked about it.
-
- Problems that are not solved are of course open to everyone.
-
- I think the negative side of this "stories" is that every body has to
- risk a bit ( or a lot) when they talk with others about what they
- are doing right now. There is always way to "punish" these people.
- It is mererly a matter of techniques.
