And can't your library afford it ? Don't be ridiculous, please. Wouldn't you rather have something to say about the 50 - 80 $ textbooks you are requested to buy, your "expensive" tuitions, the overpriced registration fees, and whatever expenses ... Please, if you're a grad. student, ask your library to get them for you and stop whinning in this newsgroup. Anyway, which grad student would ever buy a Siggraph paper, even if it was priced $10 ?
