Alternatively, if Bishop Cellach was appointed by Giric, it may be that the gathering was intended to heal a rift between king and church.

Alternatively, if using more than one or two techniques for every experiment is infeasible, some of the benefits of consilience may still be obtained if it is well-established that these techniques usually give the same result.

Alternatively, DMs may develop their own fictional worlds to use as campaign settings.

Alternatively, a single hostname may correspond to many IP addresses: this can facilitate fault tolerance and load distribution, and also allows a site to move physical locations seamlessly.

Alternatively, each computer may have its own user with individual needs, and the purpose of the distributed system is to coordinate the use of shared resources or provide communication services to the users.

Alternatively, IPv6 hosts may use stateless address autoconfiguration.

Alternatively, the home country may prosecute the individual.

Alternatively, they may be joined as clusters to form क ् नय knaya, कन ् य kanya, or क ् न ् य knya.

Alternatively, Latin C-represents an attempt to render the unfamiliar Proto-Germanic h =, perhaps due to Celtic-speaking interpreters ( a Celtic intermediary would also explain why Germanic * Þeuðanōz became Latin Teutones ).

Alternatively, some filmmakers attempt to stretch the boundaries of the rendering engines or to mask the original 3-D context.

Alternatively, the program can simply inform the user, attempt to correct the inconsistency, and continue running.

Alternatively, cache coherency protocols such as the MESIF protocol attempt to reduce the communication required to maintain cache coherency.

Alternatively, it has been suggested that " its purpose, though crudely handled, is to explain to Gilgamesh ( and the reader ) the various fates of the dead in the Afterlife " and in " an awkward attempt to bring closure ", it both connects the Gilgamesh of the epic with the Gilgamesh who is the King of the Netherworld, and is " a dramatic capstone whereby the twelve-tablet epic ends on one and the same theme, that of " seeing " (= understanding, discovery, etc.

Alternatively, the micromanager may attempt by this or other means to create a stressful workplace in which the undesired employees no longer desire to participate ; when such stress is severe or pervasive enough, its creation may be regarded as constructive discharge ( also known in the United Kingdom as " constructive dismissal " and in the United States as " constructive termination ").

Alternatively, on any day during the Fringe the pedestrianised area of the High Street around St Giles ' Cathedral and the Fringe Office becomes the focal point for theatre companies to hand out flyers, perform scenes from their shows, and attempt to sell tickets.

Alternatively, the game may simply attempt to overwrite critical program instructions, which if successful renders it unplayable.

Alternatively, Marsden claimed that god was an invention of the self in its attempt to encompass the world and rule over it, hence, a positive, freeing idea.

Alternatively, it can be argued that even open processes are subject to the weight of past implementations and imperfect past designs, and that the power of the dominant vendor to unilaterally correct or improve the system and impose the changes to all users facilitates innovation.

Alternatively, such devices as ion thrusters, while having a notably lower specific impulse, give a much better thrust-to-power ratio ; for photons, that ratio is, whereas for slow particles ( that is, nonrelativistic ; even the output from typical ion thrusters counts ) the ratio is, which is much larger ( since ).
