The (early) Bond franchise played with class in a way that maybe isn't obvious to US audiences. At the time, casting Connery (a working class Scot) as Bond was roughly equivalent to casting an African American in a similar role in the

Its worth noting that the UK fishing industry is dominated by a handful of mega-trawlers that are under largely international ownership, and therefore its not clear that the UK _should_ be using its diplomatic power to seek concessions on

The wider issue here is whether football clubs should even be run as for-profit corporations. It seems wrong that the owners of a club would regard a "successful season" as one in which they made the most money, rather than the on

Read the whole article nodding my head at all the valid criticisms of .NET, but towards the end I began to wonder: when are the arguments in favour of .NET coming? And finally, at the very end, this paragraph appeared: " .NET is a grea

Looks impressive. Anything involving billing has the potential to be huge. If you shopped this around to VCs you would definitely get some bites. Maybe you guys should go "all in" for a couple of years?
