The humans became ringwraithes, because they were easily corruptible, I think.  The elves didn't because they made their own rings. Or at least I'm assuming that's the reason they didn't. As far as I know, Sauron actually never came into contact with the elve's rings so he could never corrupt them.  Why didn't the dwarves become ringwraithes?  Is it because dwarves are more resistant to magic then the other races? That's the case in the Warhammer universe, I'm not sure if it's the same in Middle Earth.
I was reading through some of the questions and answers here on the Rings of Power and I just wondered why the ring effects, affected different races in a slightly different way.  I know other questions ask and answer some of these things, but I just wondered why the Rings of Power caused greed in Dwarves for ever more amounts of treasure.  It's true that Dwarves loved mining and loved wealth and were built of sturdier stuff than men, but why did the Rings of Power not control Dwarves in the way the other Rings of Power controlled men and why did it produce greed and not invisibility?

I would like to show that ring of order $p^2$ is commutative.   Taking $G=(R, +)$ as group, we have two possible isomorphism classes $\mathbb Z /p^2\mathbb Z$ and $\mathbb Z/ p\mathbb Z \times \mathbb Z /p\mathbb Z$.   Since characterstic must divide the size of the group then we have two possibilities $p$ and $p^2$.   Now IU don't understand how can I reason to say that the multiplication is commutative and how can I conclude for the case when characterstic is $p$? We found this skull on a beach in southwestern Sweden, and are curious as to what kind of animal it was. Is smell a bad way of determining whether meat is still good? Does anyone know how to remove this dead bolt that has no screw heads to use a screw driver? Here's a picture below. how does capacitor work ? how do they conduct electricity ? Sorry, i am novice in electronics, trying to understand basic fundamental of electronics.  1. How does capacitor conduct current when two plates aren't physically connected. I have a netbook with an AZERTY layout. I've changed it to "bépo" to try it, but now I've reset it to a french layout.  While all the apps have taken the change into account, Ubuntu's login manager still uses bépo, making entering passwords a challenge. I've enabled the virtual keyboard for the time being so that I could login again.  I don't remember what I had done in the first place to switch the login screen to bépo, but now I can't switch it back.    EDIT : In the keyboard settings page, if I click "use system defaults", then everything is in bépo ! Where is this different keyboard layout set ?  ANOTHER EDIT : Here's what did not work :   Changing the layout in settings using the "use system defaults" checkbox in settings sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration changing it in Xconf adding a line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf  sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales slaming head against desk dpkg-reconfigure lightdm sudo gsettings set org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts "['fr']" combinations of the above     Is it possible to relaunch the keyboard configuration tool that's in ubuntu's setup ? The thing has automatic layout detection and it changes the setting everywhere. When to capitalize words such as "lake", and when can the whole word be omitted? Which of the following sentences are correct?     "He gave two examples of large lakes, Lake Michigan and Lake   Superior."      "He gave two examples of large lakes, Michigan and Superior."      "He gave two examples of large Lakes, Michigan and Superior."      "He gave two examples of large lakes, Lakes Michigan and Superior."   This question is primarily about what variants are formally correct, not which one sounds the best.  I think that the question should be valid for several words of the same kind, such as mountain (Mount), figure (Figure), table (Table) and so on. Seems like a stupid question, but I'm after a nice solid answer if possible.  I joined SO a while ago to ask the odd question, but recently I'm starting to use it more often.  I've been reviewing the 40 max items (20 first posts/20 late answers) per day, and editing anything I see wrong with them (lots of +2's)... flagging them... etc.  I've also been  per day.  But other than commenting where I can and answering the odd question, I'm only  (1k at the moment).  I might just be overeager, but I was hoping some high-rep users might be able to write a little something on how they earned their stripes?  I've , and to be honest I was hoping I'd get a hit, because it sounds like a stupid question... anyways, here you go!  Also, I'm not referring to how to gain rep on Meta, since it's a bit of a fluke I've earned the rep I have on here. I'm asking about main SO. Because the beginning of the letter is moved a bit to the left when in italics mode, the breve also needs to move to the left,otherwise it is no longer under the letter.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{semtrans} \begin{document} Right position: \U{h}  Wrong position: \textit{\U{h}} \end{document}     Any ideas how to correctly use a breve with italics? Is there any bidirectional 5v-3.3v level shifter?
