Alternatively, a coin may be tossed, with the winners choosing whether to serve or receive first, or choosing which end of the court to occupy, and their opponents making the leftover the remaining choice.

Alternatively, if the boards are pre-dealt, " curtain cards " may be supplied which have each hand printed on them, so that each player can check at the beginning of the deal that he has the right cards.

Alternatively, since they may have felt the need to force some kind of victory — they could hardly remain at Marathon indefinitely.

Alternatively, the game may be played with ring-shaped pieces with a central hole.

Alternatively, conspiracy theories may arise when evidence available in the public record does not correspond with the common or official version of events.

Alternatively, computer programs may be executed with the aid of an interpreter, or may be embedded directly into hardware.

Alternatively, there may further be requirements for maximum terms that a government can keep power before holding an election.

Alternatively, the supernova may have resulted from the merger of two white dwarfs, so that the limit was only violated momentarily.

Alternatively, a file may contain an arbitrary binary image ( a BLOB ) or it may contain an executable.

Alternatively, elapsed time may represent the gradual process of healing of old hatreds.

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, for a single system at a well-defined temperature, it gives the probability that the system is in the specified state.

Alternatively, the path integral formulation of quantum field theory represents the transition amplitude as a weighted sum of all possible histories of the system from the initial to the final state, in terms of either particles or fields.

" Alternatively, such quotations have been interpreted by Anarcho-Communists supportive of Marx and Engels to suggest the abolition of capitalism and the state simultaneously, not the creation of a new state.

Alternatively, by Stone's theorem one can state that there is a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group U ( t ): H → H such that

Alternatively, the search engine may store a copy of each item in a cache so that users can see the state of the item at the time it was indexed or for archive purposes or to make repetitive processes work more efficiently and quickly.

Alternatively, if the excited-state atom is perturbed by an electric field of frequency, it may emit an additional photon of the same frequency and in phase, thus augmenting the external field, leaving the atom in the lower energy state.

Alternatively, state capitalism may be used ( sometimes interchangeably with state monopoly capitalism ) to describe a system where the state intervenes in the economy to protect and advance the interests of large-scale businesses.

Alternatively, one may point out that greater good theodicies lead us to see every conceivable state of affairs as compatible with the existence of God, and in that case the notion of God's goodness is rendered meaningless.

Alternatively it has been suggested that the star could be in a low-activity state analogous to a Maunder minimum — a historical period, associated with the Little Ice Age in Europe, when sunspots became exceedingly rare on the Sun's surface.

Alternatively, liquid oxygen could be used as reaction mass, which upon release would boil down to its molecular state.

Alternatively, an exciton may be thought of as an excited state of an atom, ion, or molecule, the excitation wandering from one cell of the lattice to another.

Alternatively, when purchasing a zero coupon bond issued by a U. S. state or local government entity, the imputed interest is free of U. S. federal taxes, and in most cases, state and local taxes, too.

Alternatively, other types of buffers exist that implement current amplifiers, or keep track of the state ( i. e. which side drove the bus low ) to prevent latch-up.

Alternatively, it gives the average number of electrons that will occupy that state due to the restriction imposed by the Pauli exclusion principle.

Alternatively, when the modulator is in its low-Q state, an externally-generated beam can be coupled into the cavity through the modulator.

Alternatively, if one would like to preserve the notion of eigenstates and make it rigorous, rather than merely formal, one can replace the state space by a suitable rigged Hilbert space.

Alternatively, a state may take the view that even though people may have ordinary levels of courage, they may nevertheless be coerced into agreeing to break the law and this human weakness should have some recognition in the law.

Alternatively, a state may take the view that even though people may have ordinary levels of courage, they may nevertheless be coerced into agreeing to break the law and this human weakness should have some recognition in the law.

Alternatively, it had been said that the state was named after the Zulia river, which in Colombia is known as Batatas and leads into the Catatumbo River.

Alternatively, it may be changed to the Modified state when writing to it.

Alternatively, the bird was considered a hybrid, but the present state of knowledge of the Dickcissel's relations makes this not very plausible-there are a number of species with which Spiza could conceivably produce hybrids-such as Passerella -, but the lack of even the slightest hint of blue structural colors in Townsend's specimen and it moreover being not different from a Dickcissel in habitus makes the hybrid theory suspect.
