It's the low countries because it's the land around the river delta's, not because of the height of the land. It's originally meant as downriver.

Stopped reading "children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky, it wasn't the kind of book for me. I am now reading AE van Vogt's "the universe maker". Not his best book, but the fast pacing is nice. It's also an old Dutch translation, so the archaic language use is... different. I started listening to Matt Dinniman's "the bedlam bride" on my commute, I got fed up listening to the radio. I read the previous books in the series, but so far I think it lends itself better to listening. And I've read the short story "the marching morons" by Cyril Kornbluth during some down time this week, which I liked. Didn't know this writer, so might check out some of his other work.

DUCK!

The racism is in training on white patients only, not in the abilities of the AI in this case.

Thanks for taking my trolling in good stride. I actually loved the internet of 20 years ago. It was totally different from today, it's actually a shame a lot of the way it was is gone forever. I vividly remember frequenting a few blogs, just slow chatting in the comments, making your own response images, hosting your own stuff like these images, sound clips and whatever else. Most ISP's would give you some server space to host your own static html pages, and lot's of people used this. The blogs would host photoshop contests, link to stuff they liked, reported on news or music or whatever their niche. The blogs I visited are mostly still around today, but they just don't draw the engagement anymore.

Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.

I learned with the right hand, because I went to a backwater school where it was assumed everyone was right handed, and probably my parents never gave attention to these things.

the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be

A communication network for scientists and the military?

20+40*1-20. The first 20 you had already.

Reacher series is quite a nice read, except for a few. I've read the long earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in the last two weeks. The books start slow, but are great page turners. Yesterday I started "Children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I had the book on my e-reader for some time, so I decided I should start reading it allready. Normally I'm more for the space opera type of books, so I'll see what I make of it.

Are you OK?
