Just to test my understanding on this sentence (I have re-read it 4 times now), JGC is saying that if Kissinger was a programmer, he would be saying "sex is better than power"? I think I have totally missed the meaning of this - could some

For me, the point of interest comes from locking down a blueprint distribution model. Everyone can print certain items depending on their access to raw materials/power/specification of fab, but depending on how much they pay for the 'blue

The Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton will absolutely rock your world, going by what you are asking for. After this, go for The Commonwealth Saga by the same author. You really, really are missing out on a treat, but the best thing

Looking at the fleets, the article does not mention the fact that AirTran has 65 Orders for 737-700's (the type that Southwest uses), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTran_Airways#Current_Fleet and is looking at options to replace its cur

The third world country's / developing country's. How would they get a piece of this? I'm quite sure they wouldn't - or if so, it would be an order of magnitude below what the western world would have. Already more than enough to go to war
