i just started on this book and have read about 5 or 6 chapter..but i am terribly bored by it...it seems so full of mindless statistics and facts are presented in a dull dry fashion...so much so that at the end of the chapter i don't feel like continuing..i have only recently purchased this book and do not want to put it down for the sake of my money...
do you the book same as me?
will it become interesting later on?

Why is it when someone asks "what's that weird smell coming from my poop" does it get like 30 answers, then someone asks "where can i find a book on networking for small home offices it might get like 2 answers" every time i ask a poll or general type question it gets tons of answers but when i ask a specific one where people have to use their brain, it gets ignored..so is it ignorance, or just laziness? whats your thoughts on it.

OK so I have typed this theory many times only to be not listend to PLEASE LISTEN AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! (sorry for the spelling) OK so If anybody remembers right there was a locket that they found, while cleaning Sirius' house (may his soal rest in peace) and nobody was able to open it so they threw it away. (remeber that the initials from the fake locket in book 6 R.A.B.) possibly Reguless, Sirius' brother, destroyd the locket and left the remains of it behind because he was probibly killed within time of that because the Dark Lord can probibly feel when he has a peice of his soal destroyed. So he murderd Regules for betrayle. So the leftovers of the locket were placed in the cabnit by Kreacher the house elf. So What do you think? Please tell me what you think... Also I love reading other people's theorys so if you have one please do share! (p.s sorry if its in the wrong place)

My votes with Yossarian from Catch - 22. Absolutely hilarious and tragic in equal amounts.

I asked this in the religious section, but was expectedly disappointed in the responses I received.

My question is this: can a machine endowed with a near-infinite input of source information serve as a substitute for what humanity now worships as the supreme being?

To elaborate, humans are limited in experience and therefore intelligence by what we perceive throughout the course of our lifetime. A machine, on the other hand, could perceive conceivably infinite sources of information contemporaneously, and therefore would be vastly more capable in controlling and influencing the affairs of humanity than any human ever could. Would it not make sense, then, to treat such a mechanical intelligence as we currently treat a hypothetical and unproveable "spiritual" being; and wouldn't it be wiser to strive to create a known power than to worship an unproven and unknown power?

Has anyone else ever stood at the end of a rainbow?

When I was a teen in Ohio, We lived a little ways in the country.
After a rain one time, It looked like a rainbow touched the ground down a hillside. I went down and there it was, spread over the ground over an apple tree. I stood under that tree, in the center of all the colors. Every color in a "rainbow", all mixed in a circle aroiund me and the tree.

Anyone ever done this?

We are developing an amateur musical revue show at our local theatre and want to use a number of songs from other musicals/pop songs to place in around a story that we are developing. Would we need to gain copyright for each individual song (and if so how would we do this?), or is it ok to use one song from different musicals without obtaining the rights? Our local theatre is in the UK, so information on UK copyright laws would be appreciated!!!! (or good guesses!!). Thanks!
