Research in CS (and math) is 'cheap' compared to research in say, chemistry, physics, or biology.
Pencil, paper, and maybe some Amazon EC2 time as opposed to a bunch of lab equipment and other materials.

I was just making an offhand remark about how R&D gigs in industry for math/cs might be 'easier' to come by because their salary doesn't necessarily compete with lab costs.
