Lord Jim is, surprisingly. I read it while working on a farm in Spain whilst backpacking round the world. Jim is a guy who's constantly running from shit. Kinda struck a chord.
Reading these two novels by Conrad really shook me up and made me realise I was wasting my life as a chef. Now i'm doing a PhD after finishing my under with 1st class honours.
Hell I'm Australian and my wife's American. We had our two kids in Australia and we're cheering. WE had world class services and earn reasonable wages. Medicare in Australia works. And my partner who works in health is growing increasingly jaded with the system that functions for her back in the states. We're back in ND at the moment for family, and her relos can't believe how healthcare works back in Oz. but once they do hear they want to know more.
Former chef here. You have to be sonewhat licensed for food handling in several countries - certainly here in Oz. Also cookery is more chemustry than biology, unless you don't clean down after service.
Over his Atheism? What you mean the guy that nearly didn't write the principia because he was so into his theologjcal research. That is from chapter 3 of Gleik on Newton many more similar references out there. Hell he even has religous discussion in the margins of his copy of the first edition (in rare books @ fisher at usyd - where i study). Newton was nuts, he was odd, he argued against the catholic church and their stubborn arguments for geocentrism but he was a pious man. He was no more athiest than Darwin or Milton.
I got one of the new HP HD netbooks on sale from Amazon. Pays high def video fine from the net or from an external source. Not keen on games so that doesn't bother me. But for the $350 I paid (aus) i'd take this over an ipad. Trying to use an ipad at uni for lectures would just piss me off. With this I sit down take notes on open office and record the lecture with my built in mike for later use and can tap into the myuni resources that go with the lecture without fucking around or having to charge it for the whole day I'm on campus or carry round a spare keyboard (let alone trying to use that touchscreen keyboard.) My only complaint about this netbook would be the gloss screen which is a pain in the ass in direct sunlight.
You are completely correct sir. I stand corrected. I was trying to refer to the fact that both sides voted down the bill of rights that the democrats put forth. I seem to recall our pollies decided that having judges rule on issues connected to a bill of rights. Somehow I think a bill of rights would be safer in the hands of some of our less salubrious judges like Enfield than abbot or Krudd.
I normally vote labour, unless this gets scrapped by labour they won't get my vote. I'll probably move to the US with my partner if this ever comes in over here. Add to that the reluctance for the Australian government, liberal and labour, to adopt a bill of rights or constitution and it looks like my home is becoming somewhere I don't want to call home or raise my family.

That doesn't stop the tree roots on my porch how is it going to with stand the pressure produced from molten rock, ultra hot gasses etc? Even if it would how do you get it to set without melting into the already molten rock?

Are you sure the KLF were around back then in days of IPoAC?
Wish i had mod points for that mate.
When mycleanPC cleans your airspace you get bigger and faster *WOOSH*!
I wish i had mod points.
: If I said "Installing your code is like gently pulling teeth with a screw driver" most people would get the metaphor. >
Simile not a metaphor. Using 'like' is a simile. You mean 'i enjoy the sensation of pulled teeth so much i will happily install your code!'
