Well, this is so subjective it's not funny. But, personally, I enjoy David Eddings and Raymond Elias Feist. I don't mind The Hobbit, but I found the LOTR trilogy difficult to get through.
I actually agree with the OP... I think. I wouldn't have used the same words, but each to their own. I think there are many many fantasy books out there that easily surpass LOTR. I find the LOTR characters "shallow" and undeveloped. I understand that LOTR is immensely popular--I just found the books bordering on boring (which is a shame, I really wanted to like them).
Unfortunately many Australian plants are adapted to live in low-nutrient conditions. The area (Lismore), however, maybe supports rainforest trees in the area where bodies are to buried. Rainforest trees don't mind the high nutrients (although, not all species would be accustomed to the increased nutrient load). But, the article speaks of Koalas. Koalas do not live in rainforest--they live in areas dominated by Eucalyptus and other sclerophyll species. It could be argued that, this being the case, that the body would be adding nutrients to an environment that is naturally low in nutrients and, therefore, be contributing to a problem rather than helping it.
I am not sure that variations in genetic material gathered from the site has been studied yet. You are correct, however, that this is a very interesting thing to be studying. The fact that corals seem to have recolonised successfully (albeit with less diversity) is 'possibly' due to nearby atolls "seeding" the affected areas. The nearby atolls were obviously affected by radiation as well, and therefore subject to possible genetic mutations. Therefore, measuring the difference in genes between the nearby places and ground-zero might show no difference at all (because the mutated corals etc from nearby "seeded" the ground-zero area). I am not sure how this would be resolved, unless the baseline samples were taken from further away, where they were not irradiated... which leads to further problems (the genetic difference--if any is measured--may be caused by other factors)...
All those motherboards have all the right looking shininess, capacitors, traces etc etc. How does a person without a PhD in I dunno--hardware something--tell these apart from legit boards (apart from the legit boards not being sold in the country of sale.)
I cannot provide citations or anything else, but, I think that the Titanic sunk because it hit an iceberg. It took over two hours for her to sink. If the rivets were stronger, how much longer would it have taken to sink, and how many people would still have remained complacent thinking that the ship was unsinkable and, therefore, there was no reason to rush--hence leading to them not retreating to lifeboats?
A new order of death knights emerged during the Third War, in service to the Lich King. They were created from living and undead humans (and occasionally other races) who had been granted unholy runeblades, and most were former paladins who had forsaken the Holy Light.
You are absolutely correct. Other plants have adapted to low phosphorous conditions and will not do well in areas where phosphorous is plentiful. Many of the Australian species belonging to Proteaceae fall into this group. My original comment was, of course, a generalisation and tongue-in-cheek. Thank-you for your concluding paragraph--it is spot on.
A very pretty picture is painted for what amounts to environmental vandalism. (paraphrasing): "We are creating a tropical paradise, where diversity parallels that of the Galapagos Islands. The majestic undersea garden will support myriad species, the colours and the life will rival any natural environment, and will, in fact, surpass anything that nature could create. We are dumping this waste in the ocean for the common good. The beautiful seaweed will dance a serenade, attracting fishes and tourists alike. Because the trash increases the potential habitats (and micro-climates), species diversity must increase--niche species which would otherwise have difficultly surviving will flourish.
Yes, dumping rubbish is the sea is a Good Idea(TM). The secret is out!
In reality though, that never works. Unless we have a great HAL and can somehow foresee future hardware it's impossible. The current situation is that many libraries sit between the application and the OS, and (IMO) this is a good thing.
Its a KDE-oriented distro. I am not sure that releasing a new distro based on KDE in the current climate is a good idea. Don't get me wrong, KDE-4 is shaping up to be great (and backports and development on KDE-3 are still occurring), but what separates this distribution from any other KDE-3*-based distro?
Alternatively: "if you buy our product, you will sleep" seems a bit more reasonable, considering that the girl I met in a bar once didn't seem to think that me being drunk was a very good reason for her to sleep with me. I met another girl once, but I was sober and forgot how to talk.
Additionally, copyright is implicitly given (well, in Australia anyway), so sending yourself a copy of something is a waste of a stamp.
We are not talking about copyright though--we're talking about patents. I do agree that it is silly posting yourself a copy of "whatever"... better just to publish the thing and claim the original art (read: others after you will have to battle with you prior art--it's not good if the prior art is sealed in a vault. Is it?)
Slaves, kidnapped in other parts of England, forced to work building the monument. They had lots of skeletal injuries because it was dangerous work. ( Impromptu graveyards near the Egyptian pyramids had lots of crunched skeletons also )
Yes, that's certainly more bloodthirsty. But it doesn't answer the question of why it was built. That would just answer part of the who.
You are absolutely correct. And you have alerted me to the question: What audience was the article targeted at? Reading it (TFA) again, I am not sure it is targeted to any audience, but was written by a person without a clue. I can't for the life of me imagine why someone would to allude to facts and then skim over them saying "I don't understand". Maybe it was to meet a deadline; I don't know.
Well, interesting enough for me to read to the end of the article. The article, however, does seem to lack substance and details. It seemed to spend a lot of time apologising for inadequacies and seemed to aimed at a less technical audience. That is fine, writing to meet the target audiences needs or wants is good (I guess I just wasn't in the target audience.) The article raised more questions for me than it answered though (which, again, might be good--it will at least make me google for more information.)
You're right. I should have checked some more. My registrar _last time_ I updated my domain names was $180 for two years (so $90/year). I just checked their website and it's now $80 for two years. The price seems to have come down, probably because of increased competition. I apologise for not checking that first.

Yeah that is true. I guess it's lucky that it is, largely, only a matter of opinion :-)
