I think you mean Anub'arak and the Leeching Swarm ability which takes a percentage of each players health and heals the boss. This bit makes it really crazy with the level 85 health pools of players.
I don't think any of the LK's abilities are based on percentage of player's health. It's been over a year since I last did that fight, so I could be wrong!:)
Pretty sure you were doing it wrong. I was fully decked out in heroic gear from ICC and I started replacing pieces with quest greens at about level 82.
The last things to go were trinkets as they're generally hard to come by, but even those I got a blue trinket from questing in Uldum and a green one in Twilight Highlands.
I agree with what you said, but please stop saying we use carbon dating for dinosaur bones or fossils. Carbon dating works only for certain organic matter (mostly plants, btw) and is useful only with samples upto 14,000 years old. Fossils are mineralized (i.e. there is little to no organic matter remaining) and carbon dating would be useless for samples in the range of millions of years old.
But doesn't that ignore the fact that bacteria have probably been exposed to UV light for millions of years (even if it's at a lower dose, and not all the time)
That's precisely the point. Low doses of UV are not going create lots of mutations. But if you hit a bacterium with lots of uv, you get so many mutations that when you select for some particular trait, you don't know what else you're getting with it.
whereas your precision editing may be completely untested? It's this kind of focusing on the details which can lead to people overseeing potential problems in the real world.
On the other hand, when you use the techniques of genetic engineering to insert or remove particular sequences of DNA, you know exactly which bits you're putting in. And also, these genetic chimeras are tested in the lab before they're used commercially or medicinally. (Any diabetics out here? You do know that the insulin you rely on is produced largely by a yeast that was genetically engineered, right?)
Mozilla comes with half a hundred things in it that may or may not be anything you want, and you have to opt-out of them.
50 things? A standard download of Mozilla Firefox contains two (2) extensions. Talkback (to provide feedback to Mozilla when it crashes) and the DOM Inspector. 2 = 50?
I hate how every time you upgrade Firefox it insists on starting up by loading the Firefox webpages.
It loads ONE (1) page along with your regular start up page(s). And all that page does is inform you that you've upgraded Firefox. How is that a bad thing?
Looks like it's Maharashtra, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. This article also mentions that the roll out is supposed to happen by 2010.
The weird thing is that the city of Mumbai in Maharashtra is serviced by another telecom company MTNL and not BSNL. I wonder if it will be covered by this WiMax network.
However, you have to pay twice as much for that priveledge, at which point it would almost be cheaper to buy the cd new
Wait a minute, you normally pay 1 cent per MB of data transferred, double that and it's still only 2 cents per MB. And that works out to be more expensive than the new CD how? It's only if you were to download the original audio data uncompressed as a PCM wave would you pay more than a regular CD
I'm really happy to see a sane voice speak calmly and clearly...
But... like I've seen on posts elsewhere.. There is this claim that you can't work in India. I don't know where that's coming from. It's perfectly legal for a foreign citizen to work in India. You can get an application for an employment visa and other information from the Indian Embassy (you can find it online)
Whether someone used to the creature comforts of the United States would want to move to India and work there is another matter entirely..
oh dear me... are all people irregardless of skin color or origin treated well everywhere in the US? Are people who are not Christians treated equally in the US? When did african-americans get voting rights in the US?
Where is this pointless back and forth smear campaign going? Nowhere. There's bad stuff everywhere. That's the world we live in. No one is inherently "better." We can work to be better. But certainly not by saying "I'm better than him over there!" You don't improve yourself that way.
whoops... I made some factual errors... I looked at the Buddhist years instead of the CE years. Sorry 'bout that. I kept wondering how it was so young.
So to correct myself, the historical origins of Buddhism are considered to be around the 5th or 6th Century B.C. and it entered China around the 1st Century C.E.
John... you are right... about Raj being arrogant and petty and insulting you. But he does have a point. You did say China/Japan. And in either case if China is just above Nepal, it's only because they have occupied Tibet. And if you decide to disregard that too, well then, India is just below and beside Nepal. So that's hardly an argument for Buddhism originating in China.
Next, in spite of Raj venting spleen... he did pull out a link from a website you pointed out to him which pretty much details the historical origins of Buddhism around 150 BC. And says that Buddhism only entered China in 544 CE!
Also, there are enough and more historical sites in India (including a place named Bodh Gaya which is where the Buddha is said to have gained enlightenment) that support the facts that he was born and led all/most of his life in India. As to your point about conversion to Buddhism.. yes.. it is often spoken in those terms. And the reason is that one of the most important percepts of Buddhism, even before the "mystical" aspects is that of ahimsa, or non-violence. Adopting a new belief/principle is a form of conversion, isn't it? One of the famous "converts" to Buddhism was the Emperor Asoka who so regreted the carnage of a war of conquest that he embraced the concepts of Buddhism and even today, the official seal of India is the Asoka seal. That of three lions seated upon a pillar.
It might be hard for you to wrap your mind around these concepts since the perception of Buddhism in the west is through Zen or through "mystical Far East" philosophy and the perception of India and Hinduism is the caste system.
Just as a Jew drawing upon his his Judaic religion and his disgust with what the Pharisees had made of it began Christianity, a Hindu prince disgusted with the evil, pain and suffering fostered by desire in the world began Buddhism. Many of the percepts and principles can easily be seen to be drawn from Hindu beliefs. Hinduism is not just pantheism and the caste system. It might interest you to know that the word Hindu was coined by the British to describe the natives of India... They both derive from the name of the river Indus.
I could write more, but I will stop here. Thank you for listening.
$1500 does seem very high for publication costs, but I think it's a more "legitimate" charge on your grant. Also it would be a one-time occurence on your grant and only when you publish. Rather than many times that cost for all the different journals you need to subscribe to during your research.
Ideally, suppose every journal just had high publication charges and distributed their content free, wouldn't researchers/libraries end up saving a lot?
Of course, this would mean that researchers with a high output would be spending a lot of money publishing... publish AND perish, anyone?:-)
