...company wins, said: "Ryanair's sole motive in this action is to defeat terrorism by returning airport security to normal." Other airlines affected, including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, aren't joining Ryanair in its suit. Analysts say the move reflects a vulnerability in Ryanair's business model: O'Leary has turned the Dublin-based carrier into Europe's most profitable airline by cutting airport turnaround time to a minimum to keep his planes aloft as much as possible. That means discouraging any behavior that can slow his planes down, including checking baggage. But O'Leary may have the last...
...first of those hints comes from the universe-wide flash of light that followed nearly half a million years after the Big Bang. Before that flash occurred, according to the widely accepted "standard model" of cosmology, our entire cosmos had swelled from a space smaller than an atom to something 100 billion miles across. It was then a seething maelstrom of matter so hot that subatomic particles trying to form into atoms would have been blasted apart instantly and so dense that light couldn't have traveled more than a short distance before being absorbed. If you could somehow live...
...distribution system that maximizes profit, so it wouldn't work for Hollywood. Think about it: every house party we hold requires just one person to buy a DVD because we're not charging anyone to watch the film at people's homes. Hollywood is not running to embrace a model for social change. I'm not sure anybody's found a way to monetize...
...Mitchum was an early exponent of the actor as outlaw, more interested in getting a role than being a role model. Brando sanctified that posture - the insolent slouch - which over the last half-century has been assumed by a hefty plurality of actors and musicians (mostly male, but there are exceptions). If a star doesn't crash his car, trash his hotel room or smash in a photographer's face, he's not being true to his art, you know what I mean...
...control the vehicle via a small handheld device connected to the engine by cable. If you find the dangling wire ungainly, then Exkate, (www.exkate.com), another Californian company, offers wireless control options for its collection of powerboards. These run the gamut from a $250 kid's model (with a top speed of 12 km/h) to the $1,000 top-of-the-line X-24 (with a range of 20 km, a top speed of nearly 32 km/h and cruise control). Nipping to the shops will be more fun - and faster - than you've ever imagined...
