A ton of machismo; typifies the bored, well-off attitude that what counts as achievement is invading other cultures and peoples' lives, meeting "interesting" people, and having stories. Living up to a liquor ad. Very cosmop

Almost as wonderful as the level of appreciation for detail from the team that made the film is the level of work and detail that went into these two posts. I love the amount of evidence and the discussion of core concepts for cinematograp

Character matters tremendously for quality or impact of information they leak. It affects the degree to which you might suspect that there is even more information being hidden, who stands to benefit or suffer from leaks, and who the power

In case you are as surprised as I was that they would bury the lede and not show the "parachute" or how they drop these in, here's a news story with a video: http://www.kuam.com/story/24108238/2013&#

The need to put a tidbit of information out like that from his lawyer seems more to me to be a bid to counter the claims that he is being run by a foreign intel service who some might assume would have given him large sums of cash for his c

I would figure a lot of what you pay a lawyer for is not making sure you understand the contract but a) to save time and b) to have someone who's in the profession and knows the legal quirks, loopholes, and procedures. I would figure a

I'm interested in that point as well -- are people in that age range an aberration in history? Are they more likely to be able to troubleshoot than the older grumps and the younger kids who only had one-piece gadgets? Likely not, but
