Thanks for posting this. Saved me a lot of local troubleshooting.

Sources say: yes.

But I found Art Hobson's website, which includes the published paper and the published commentary

http://physics.uark.edu/hobson/publications.html

This article did get published in the American Journal of Physics, and there was some back and forth discussion also published in the Journal. Unfortunately, the published version and the ensuing discussion is effectively inaccessible ... they want 30 USD from me to read each published response.

What does "FEAD" mean?

Actually, maybe you should try Slack in earnest with a project team before assuming the OP criticisms are wacked.

I tried it with my team about a year ago, and all of the OP criticisms resonate with me. We don't use Slack anymore.

Please, everyone, stop forcing HomeBrew as a dependency.

HomeBrew screws with your systems file permissions and installs directly into the standard system directories.

MacPorts (https://www.macports.org/) is at least a good, and it installs into the /opt tree, staying out of the way of anything Apple or Darwin wants to do when updating or patching your system.

Don't like MacPorts? There's always Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/), which installs into /sw and looks like Debian (i.e. apt-get).

HomeBrew seems like the worst of the three. :-(

Trying a quoted "should never happen" yields a bit over 3,000,000 results. Trying a quoted "never happen" yields over 5,000,000 results.

Those links are to "Open Access" books and have always, I believe, been free (as in beer).

The content identified by the original post were not open access; they were paid access (typically quite expensive) and published in 2004 or before.

I hope the zero cost downloads was not a glitch but a policy, and that Springer will make those older texts freely available again.

I'm now seeing "Get Access" (i.e., pay money) instead of "Download Book". I wonder if Springer shut this down? Or if there is some quantity or rate limit on the downloads?
