...plot is a series of tales told by the warrior Nameless (Jet Li) to the Qin King (Chen Daoming). Any or none of the stories may be true; this is Rashomon with a Mandarin accent. But the moral, or rather the ethic, is as clear as it is bleak: man must make war to secure the peace...
...request to clarify what exactly a Quantum Cellular Automata Architect does, Spotnitz answered, “A Quantum Cellular Automata Architect designs circuit patterns with Quantum Cellular Automata.”) “I was surrounded by PhDs at NASA’s JPL [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena,” the chemistry concentrator explains. “And I had only taken AP physics. I had been thinking about studying brain science or being a doctor, but I wanted to try something different. So I picked NASA. I figured it was a highly productive place...
...another round of al-Qaeda terrorism. Several major year-end assaults have been averted over the past few years, including "millennium bomber" Ahmed Ressam's foiled plot against the Los Angeles airport in 1999 and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid's bungled effort to bring down a Paris-to-Miami jet last Dec. 22.

A Stinger is five feet long, 2.75 inches in diameter, weighs 35 pounds, and is "relatively easy" to operate, U.S. officials say. It homes in on the heat put out by a jet's engine, and can hit a plane at 10,000 feet from five miles away. That means the shooter can be located miles away from the airport where the plane being targeted is taking off or landing. There is concern among U.S. officials that al-Qaeda or other terrorists may have...
