I want to add something. Digital era is smarter then those copy/paste guys. I was told that at a College for journalism got this software to check and compare thesis among each other and results were horrible! Students were copy/pasting whole pages of course without mentioning in appendix. B5 Oh… I want to add something. Digital era is smarter then those copy/paste guys.

Sharing this days is way cheaper then it was ten years ago. If you would share all your images, lectures and notes in hard copy, it would cost you a fortune. Now days distribution is free and we can afford to share yesterdays knowledge. Cheers, B5 Great point!

Working as a researcher at the Institute of Jožef Štefan in the theory of quantum computing department in Slovenia, made me realize something about the importance of sharing your knowledge and work with other people. Making my studies, research material and tens of thousands lines of code, completely open and available to everyone on the internet sometimes didn't pay off very well, but compared to the positive feedback from other researchers that actually contributed a great deal to my doctor dissertation, it just isn't worth to worry about the negative side of sharing and making things public. Good luck Eirik! Marko Peršnjak, PhD Hello Eirik,

It’s quite constructive to question this very delicate subject, but I think you forgot to mention your readers the most basic idea of expectation, that someday, maybe, your good will will be well paid off.

Good luck Eirik!
