None of your examples are very good examples of "literature" as it's usually understood - in everyday use, the term by itself denotes prose fiction (and often excepting pulp novels). Not by coincidence, this is the "limi

After two years (IIRC) on a 457, you can apply for a permanent visa, and that's also easier - and more expensive, of course - with a nominating employer. At least at the moment, there doesn't seem to be any education requirement for the nom

There aren't any. People use the words "biased" and "unbiased" mainly to express degrees of agreement. Everyone's view is fair and balanced in their own eyes.

Surely you don't need expiry to be accurate to the second. Also, most people in the world have no idea where "EST" is (or even what it means). Why not just say "The link is valid until August 19", and then let it expire some time after all

No. Like in English, it's "Gräset är alltid grönare på andra sidan"/"the grass is always greener on the other side". You should interpret it as "the grass on the other side always looks greener than it actually is". Your version is sometime

It, and "Through the Looking-glass", are very good books on programming for programmers, too. If you haven't read them since you were liddle, you're missing out.

Two factors I can think of: First, price has less to do with production cost than with the perceived value of the product. The value of the Kindle version is increased by the utility of the Kindle itself. Second, the production cost has to
