I would agree with Sabloff re the Parthenon: it was built quickly
(fifteen years!) at the beginning of the ascendancy of international
Attic influence, and then that influence trailed off into Hellenism

The others I don't know about. But Sabloff's
So, there are different and incommensurate laws governing events at the
scale of general relativity and events at the scale of quantum
mechanics. Curiously, it has also been suggested that there are alternate
universes where different laws apply. So, might it be that we are really
talking
Hi
Where would one place say the Taj Mahal in the context of the Mughal
(alternatively Indo-Islamic) civilisation's ascendancy? Or the Eiffel
Tower in the context of French (alternatively Gallic) civilisation?
Mr Sabloff's observation reminds me of the old saw, A priest, a
scientist and a

Do you lash up a computer to the TV (MythTV etc)? Or just watch on a
computer screen?
I totally agree that the InterTube is getting closer and closer to a
reality. We've used both NetFlix and Amazon for old TV series and
movies and prefer it to other stunts. We play through a TiVo

The Flash debate was a hot topic this week in WSJ, too.
I guess Apple would find a solution if Steve Jobs would
really want to find one. It is not a technology question, it is
about power, control and money (and egos).
